NOREY MARKET AND C OMMERCIAL INTALMGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Stock Exchange has opened this morning with considerable strength, and the position of the Funds exhibit increased firmness, while other se curities are exceedingly well sustained. To-day being the 4th of the month, and a heavy amount of conunercial paper arriving at maturity, it might have been reasonably supposed that the discount market would have been firm and more active, but this has not proved to be the case, as it is difficult to and employment for money in the negotiation of first-class bills, even at 21 per cent. Consols a t the present price pay a little more than 3 per cent., and as they must be regarded as a better security than any commercial bills, it may be argued that they are still below their proper valu e , especially as no disturbing element can be a nticipated in our financial situation, nor is there anything of a character to affect us in home or foreign politics. Agricultural prospects, it may be added, are in favour of values at the Stock Ex change. By the Atlantic Telegraph it is announced that another steamer had left New York, June Ist, with B P e cie amounting to £lOO,OOO for England. During the last few days there has been rather More animation exhibited in the markets for foreign and colonial produce, consequent upon the reduc tion in the Bank rate of discount. A large quantity Of China tea will be offered to-day at public sale, while there has been a better demand for sugar at slightly enhanced rates. Superior qualities of C offee have sold readily at full values, while in rice the t ransactions have only been to a moderate ex tent, and n o t sufficient to affect values. In tallow the dealings have been to a moderate extent, and quotations for present and forward delivery have remained steady.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings at N isi Prius, before Mr. Justice Byles and a Common. Jury.) BURY V. PACIILER. Mr. Joyce and Mr. Bexley were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Denman, Q.C., and Mr. Thrupp for the defendant. The defendant is a lighterman, and the action was brought to recover damages for injuries which he sustained, and according to his allegations were 'caused through the negligence of the defendant, a wine merchant in 'Water-lane, in the City of Lon don. The defendant denied that he was guilty, and pleaded further that the accident was owing e n _ tirely to the plaintiff's own negligence. The plaintiff, in his evident:, stated that on the 14th of May last he was proceeding along the high way, when in endeavouring to pass a flap which was lying before the cellar of the defendant in Water lane he stumbled over one of the spikes project ing from the flap, and fell with great force on the pavement. He swore most positively that the flap was placed so as to render it impossible for him to have gone along the pavement without coming in contact with it. Ile was eight weeks suffering severely from contusions on the wrist and right knee, caused by the accident, which prevented him attending to his work as usual, and earning at an average from £2 to 103. a week. This evidence was corroborated by two witnesses, who stated that they saw the plaintiff fall, and described the position of the flap. Mr. Kaye, a surgeon, practising in the Corn mercial-road, explained the nature of the injuries which the plaintiff sustained, and said that his bill for medical attendance on him was £5 ss. For the defence only one witness was called, a gentleman named Ayres, who is in business with his father in Water-lane, their counting-house being over the cellar of the defendant. Ile stated that the defendant was entirely to blame for the accident, as he " came along the pavement in a crab-like fashion," looking after a companion from whom he had just parted. He had no doubt that the plaintiff could have avoided coming iu contact with the flap if he only looked before. lie said that he and his father did business for the defendant in carting, and that the flap was placed in the gutter, so as to offer no obstruction to any passenger who exercised the most ordinary caution. The jury almost immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff, and assessed the damages at £25. COURT OF EXCIIEQUER. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron Piggott and a Common Jury.) This was an action to obtain compensation in damages for an alleged slander. Mr. Francis was counsel for the plaintiff, and ➢ir. Huddlestone, Q.C., and Mr. Lewis for the defen dant. It appeared that the plaintiff in this case was a dressmaker at Orton and the defendant resided in the same place. The alleged slander was that the defendant had come to the plaintiff's shop and found his wife there, and had stated that she had sub stituted one lining belonging to him for another, and that an inferior lining had been put into his wife's dress. Marion Hyde said that she was the stepdaughter of Mrs. Hyde, and she worked with her as a dress maker. She remembered the 30th June. She was at work when Mr. White came outside the window, and said her mamma had kept his good lining and sent an inferior article home in the dress. lie said it cost Bid. a yard. She helped to make up the dress, and the right lining was put in it. On the 9th July she remembered Mr. Juke and the defendant coming to the houlee. Mr. Hyde saw them first, and she afterwards repeated what he had said in the presence of them all, and when she had finished he said it was his pet that made him say this. He capered about the room afterwards, and then went away. Cross-examined—On the 30th June he said " Good morning, ladies," and they said " Good morning." He said on both occasions, " You have made a mistake, and sent me au inferior lining in stead of the one belonging to me, and substituted one out of your own shop." Miss Thomson is an apprentice to Mrs. Hyde. Was present on the 30th June when defendant came to the window. Her evidence corroborated the last witness's statement. Cross-examined—Mrs. Hyde said there could be no mistake, because she kept all the linings wrapped up separately. Mr. Huddlestone—llid not Mr. White say that possibly there might be a mistake, because one of the young ladies might have put it in by mistake ? Witness—No. She did not know what brought the answer " there could be no mistake" from Mrs. Iyde. Mr. Francis Lore interrupted, when Mr. Huddle stone remarked that he would lead the witness as gently as a lamb—(laughter)—as if he allowed his learned friend to lead the jury to believe that he had badgered her in that case, he should stand no chance against her blue ribbons with the jury. (Laugh ter.) Mary Bird, another apprentice, gave similar evidence. The case was proceeding when we went to press. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING', JUNE 4, 1867. SHARE MARKETS.---This day.

THE DISTURBANCE AT PROFESSOR HARRISON'S. —The summonses granted by Mr. Flower against " Professor" llarrison, of the Opera Tavern, late Sheridan Knowles, for violently assaulting two men named Rainey and Jolly were heard to-day. Mr. Lewis appeared for the complainants and Mr. Child for the defendant. The complainant Rainey said on the evening in question he was in Professor Benison's house when he heard a quarrel with a man about a shilling, which continued for some time, when the defendant came into the tap-room, and after some observations knocked him (Rainey) down. They had a struggle on the ground, when Jolly came in and succeeded in parting Harrison and himself. The disturbance continued for some time, until at length Harrison, who was intoxicated, took up a pint pot and in flicted wounds of such a serious nature on himself and Jolly that they both had to be taken to the hospital-. A witness named Collins confirmed the evidence of the complainants, and said that defendant was intoxicated at the time, and had been so for some time previous to the assault. Mr. Lewis Wilcocks said he was assistant house surgeon to King's College Hospital. He saw the two men—Jolly and Rainey—about half past nine last Monday week. Jolly had five cuts about various parts of the skull. They were of considerable length, and deep. The other man, Rainey, had two cuts on the scalp, and a severe bruise ou the nose. At the time he saw them they were fairly sober. They were still out-patients, but their wounds were rapidly healing. The wounds were severe. Mr. Flowers—Would a publichouse pot or measure ir.fliet the blows on the men ? Witness—lt would be jest the sort of thing to produce them, as they were not clean cuts. Police-constable 138 F said he was on duty near the Sheridan Knowles. He was fetched to the publichouse by a man, who said Mr. Harrison was assaulted in the tap-room. 'When he got there he found Mr. Harrison in one corner and a number of men round him amongst them the plaintiffs. They were all assaulting him, and he saw him hit the two prosecutors with the pint pot. Mr. Harrison was intoxicated, and he did not think it was absolutely necessary for him to strike the men in the way he did. In answer to Mr. Childs, the witness said he thought the defendant was being furiously assaulted. When he first went into the room there were only the two men in the tap-room assaulting Mr. Har rison, but the instant he got there a crowd seemed instantly to rush from the end of the room, and they all set upon the defendant and assaulted him. The defendant struck about with the pot, and he (witness) got hit amongst the rest. He could not say how many men were in the tap-room at one time—more than five. He assisted the defendant because be saw him lying on the settle being assaulted. He did not know that Mrs. Har rison bad on the same day as the assault took place applied for protection against her husband. 'William Busk, warrant officer of Bow-street po lice-court, said on the 28th of last month he went to execute the two warrants on defendant. He saw him to his house, and there he told him he bad got two warrants for his apprehension for assaulting the complainants. Defendant said, " Oh, I was just coming up to get summonses against them for assaulting me." The defendant had two black eyes at the time. He took defendant to the sta tion, and, after a short hearing, the defendant was bailed. Mr. Child said that Mr. llarrison in all that he had done had only acted in self-defence, and he was not saying too much in stating that Mr. Harrison was in peril of his life, and it was only under these circumstances that he had inflicted the wounds on the complainants, which he now very much re gretted. Mr. Jenkin, a surgeon, said he was called in to see Mr. Harrison after the disturbance. He found him very much bruised all over the body, and suf fering so much that he directed him to keep his bed. Mr. F. C. Hunt, of the Crown and Cushion, Russell-street, said he was in the defendant's house on the evening of the disturbance. He heard a great disturbance in the taproom, and after that he heard Harrison distinclty call out " Let go, let go," and another voice kept calling out " Kill him." The witness was told that if he went into the room he would be very severely injured. By Mr. Lewis—He did not know the defendant as a pugilist, or that he taught the " noble art" at the Sheridan Knowles. He did not know him under the soubriquet of " Strong Jack." lie knew him only as Professor Harrison, and that he displayed his feats of strength. He did not know him as a fighting man, and he did no t reco ll ect ever see i ng a fighting man in his house, although doubtless many used it. By Mr. Childs—The defendant was a professor of athletics. South gate, said he was at the d e f en d ant ' s h ouse, an d saw Mr. Hawkins, jun., of th e Ch erry Tree, the disturbance. Ile saw Jolly take Harrison by the throat, and two other men then commenced striking him. Defendant told the men who were assaulting him that if they did not leave off he would use the pot. They did not do so, and then defen dant took up the pot, and by that he believed he preserved his life. Cross-examined—lie never knew the defendant as a pugilist. Mr. Croucher, of 30, Hart-street, said ho was at the defendant's house when the assault took place. Ile saw Jolly take up a chair, and Rainey a piece of board, with which they assaulted the defendant. Mr. Curran, of Cleveland-street, gave similar evidence, but in addition he said he saw the defend ant knocked down, and that he heard the cry of 4‘ Kill him, kill him." Mr. Flower committed the defendant for trial, but he accepted the bail tendered on the former oc casions for his appearance at the sessions. THAMES. I CRIM. CON.

Jane Thorpe and other witnesses saw the pri soner remove the prosecutor's goods in his absence, and Mrs. Cavalier, the faithless wife, leave him. The prisoner made a long rambling defence, describing Mrs. Cavalier as a loose woman, who had cohabited with him a long time ago. He lent money to the prosecutor, and Mrs. Caviller, who was neglected by her husband, allowed him to t a k e a few things. he emptied my room, and among This is hi s ki n d ness t t o h Ce n a i t e lvi ai a ll' f ig t e e sr ti w t ' e l l i rl e Tel i l n yfi a ,v n e n c e i r " l i ]Diveras has robbed me of my goods, and robbed me of my wife.

The prisoner was remanded for a week.

MISSING SHIPS. Scarcely a day passes but in the columns of the newspapers may be seen these two ominous words heading a short paragraph announcing the sailing. of some vessel from one port for another, and con cluding with the words " has not been heard of since." Each disappearing vessel adds another to the vast list of the un told " tales of the sea." A valuable ship, loaded with a rich cargo, suddenly vanishes from the track of her voyage, and her officers and crew vanish with her. The ship and the cargo are fully insured, and losses by the owner and the shipper are recoverable. The lives of the officers and crew arc not so insured, and their I( S to their wives and families is irrecoverable. This is the exact difference felt by the two classes of people whose interests are most closely connected with the life of a merchant or trading vessel. As the risks of a voyage are increased, the owner and shipper sim ply pay an increas d rate of premium on the in surance, and they make themselves safe ; but the very fact, possibly, of this certain safety for the ' pockets of the owner and the shipper may tend to make them callous as to the safety of the crew. It is certain that in any revision of the laws govern ing the maritime marine of this country, such as is now contemplated, more stringent provisions than exist at present will have to be made for the preser vation of life at sea, and the present gambling—for such it can only be termed when compared with any provision for the safety of a ship's crew—of recoup ing owners of ships and their cargoes measured at its proper value. Insurance makes men bold in their ventures. If, however, it could be possible that no such means existed for reimbursing the losses of ships and their cargoes at sea, the list of ships thus annually lost would be very far below the exist ing average, and the saving of human life would be in a proportionate ratio. Many a good ship has been destroyed by the uncontrollable power of the storm . alone, in which no human aid could have saved her. Others have been lost by the incompetency or errors of judgment of those in charge of them, or by reason of the unsoundness of hull, machinery, spars, and rigging, or of ground tackle. But there is another cause of the loss of seagoing ships, which appears to have received less attention at the hands of the legislature than it has deserved, from the con spicuous part it has played in the loss of life and property at sea--viz., the suitability of vessels in their tonnage, build, and engine-power (if steam ships), to work over the track of their allotted voyages. To illustrate the truth of this assertion it is only necessary to take up the records of the past winter, which tell all that will now ever be known of the loss of four steamships, with all hands, out of five which passed the Scaw for England on the 29th of December of last year. All five were screw steamers, four laden with grain only and the fifth laden with grain and cattle. The four vessels carrying only grain were of a tonnage and power of engines so small as to render them quite incapable of contending with all the fury of a wintry gale in the North Seas. Deep-loaded and with high bulwarks the open space between their poops and forecastles were simply wells to hold the water which might break on board in any gale they met with, until it finally swamped them. The fifth vessel, the Mary, twin screw, was bound to London, and was one third more tonnage than the other vessels, and with more than twice the engine power. Her upper deck was also covered in fore and aft, with a spar deck, wbich prevented any possible lodgment of water that might break over her. The Mary was the only vessel of the five that arrived home from that voy age, and her log alone, therefore, holds a record of what occurred in that passage across the North Sea after leaving the Scaw. On leaving the Scaw in the afternoon of the 29th of December, the weather was moderately fine for the time of the year, but after passing the Cattegat the wind freshened, and at 7 p.m. it blew violently from the S.E., with snow and sleet. From 7 p.m. until midnight the wind veered gradually round to the eastward and to the strength of a hurricane. At 4 a.m. on the follow ing morning the wind was at N.E., blowing with terrific force, a tremendous sea getting up and fol lowing, and at times breaking over the ship in im mense volumes. In this fearful turmoil of wind and waters, it would have been instant destruction to the ship and all on board to attempt heaving her to, and the engines were therefore kept going ahead at their greatest speed, and the ship held straight on in her race with the immense waves which rushed after and past her, or broke on board over the stern and quarters. All openings to below from the spar deck were, however, securely battened down, and the waves only broke upon it to fall back baffled into the bowling tempest which had thrown them up. A sudden change of wind to the opposite direction at midnight on the succeeding night got up a gale ahead, but the Mary kept her course, and eventu ally arrived off Thames Haven, but ten hours after her time, with the loss of only one bullock, and with no damage to machinery, hull, boats, spars, or rig ging. lfer safety was no doubt owing to her fitness for a North Sea winter voyage, in her tonnage, en gine power, and the possession of a spar deck, which prevented any portion of the immense bodies of water which broke on board of her find ing its way below. The want of these three great requisites in a ship pursuing such voyages was undoubtedly the cause of the loss of her four com panions, who must all have filled with the fol lowing seas and foundered in that winter's gale.

MULBERRY-TREES.—The mulberry-tree was in troduced into England, early in his reign, by James 1., who spent nine hundred and thirty-five pounds in plant ing them near his palace, and by royal edict, about the year 160 1 , offered packets of mulberry-seeds to all who would sow them, for the purpose of encouraging the cultivation of silkworms for the promotion of silk manufacture in this country. The royal patronage ren dered the tree so popular, that there is scarcely an old gar den or gentleman's seat which had existed in the seven teenth century, in which a mulberry-tree is not to be found. In 1609, Sieur do la Foret, who had in France a nursery of five hundred thousand plants, travelled over the midland and eastern counties of England, for the sale of mulberry trees, and distributed not less than one hundred thousand trees.— Dickens's "All the Year Round.'

SALE OF THE STANTON YEARLINGS. The yearlings bred by Mr. Eke at Stanton, near Shiff nal, wero sold by auction on Monday, by Messrs. Tatter sall, at Albert Gate. Though a long time announced, the attendance of buyers was not very numerous, in conse quence of which only moderate prices were realised. There were altogether twenty lots, including seven by Knight of Kars, seven by Oxford, two by Chevalier d'ludustrie, three by The Lawyer, and one by Prime Minister, all of which were sold except three of Knight of Kars's progeny, one of Oxford's, and one of Chevalier d'lndustrie, who were with drawn. The best looking of the colts were one by Oxford out of Candy, the dam of Miss Williams, and a black colt by The Lawyer out of Carolina, by The Little Known, who brought respectively 320 gs and 120 gs, the purchaser of the former being Mr. Chaplin, and of The Lawyer's colt Lord Faversham. The two best fillies were a bay by Oxford out of My Partner's dam, and a bay by Knight of Kars out of Gordian Knot's dam, both of whom went very cheap indeed, the former to Prince D. Soltykoff for 210 gs, and the latter to Mr. Smithson for 140 gs. After the Stanton yearlings were disposed of Knight of the Crescent and Knight of St. Michael were sold, Mr. Bondman being the purchaser of both at prices considerably under their value.

Another of the many great races that have taken place between the best scullers of the Thames and men of at, least equal roputalion on the Tyne came off yesterday over the established four-mile *course from Putney to Mortlake. The Londoner in this match is Jo2eph Sadler, of Putney, a sculler who of late years has been thought worthy to be come the successor of Kelly, the present champion of the rivers of the world. Sadler is 26 years of age, scales lls 41b, has great length of reach and remarkable flexibility of movement. His performances have varied considerably. In some first class sculling races be has figured well, and in private trials, as reportgoes, he has done wonders. Bo that as it may, in his greatest attempt, when he dared Chambers, the Newcastle champion, to a trial of strength and skill, he was beaten hollow and shut up rather ignominiouslyjust after t he first mile, leaving Chambers to ulnas he pleased. Whether or not this was what, in the detestable slang of the sport ing world, is called "a fluke" is not known, but it is clear that Sadler has found those to back him who thought £2OO a safe investment on his chance. Percy, the Northern sculler, after practising for some years as a pedestrian, and with success, took to the sculls a few years ago, and has somewhat distinguished himself in matches with second class men on the Tyne. He is older than his opponent, about the same weight, and is a strongly knit and com pactly built man. The batting on the event has latterly been 6 to 4 on Sadler, but since the supporters of Percy came up from the North with the money advanced there to back him, even money has been nearer the mark of actual transactions. The weather yesterday forenoon was so gloomy and wet that it would have been matter for surprise had the atten dance on the banks at Putney been more than the 2,000 or 3,000 persons who were to be seen there. Five or six steamboats, by no means full, were afloat, and for once wore kept in fair order. At half-past two o'clock, which was the time fixed for the start, the water, hitherto smooth was disturbed by a stiffish nor'-wester, which rose about that time, and brought a decided swell on. The tide was extraordinarily high, and somewhat sluggish. The men got to their stations at a quarter before three. Percy had the northern, Sadler the southern place, but both at start and during the race the lateral space between them was never greater than it ought to be if fouls are not intended. James Messenger was umpire for Sadler; James Taylor for Percy. In the absence of Mr. Ireland, who was ex pected to act as referee, Mr. C. Westall, the well-known pedestrian, was, at a moment's notice, appointed to that cri tical office. The skiffs rowed in by Sadler and Percy were both of Jewitt's build, and were pretty specimens of the racing outrigger. After a few minutes' delay in the heaving, water and strong wind, the two scullers got off at eleven minutes before three o'clock. For the first hundred yards it was impossible to say who was leading, the partisans of each loudly asserting the advantage for their man. Both were rowing hard against the wind, and for a time it was a question of strength rather than of skill or style. Percy was the first to show fairly a head, and ere two hundred yards of the course had been traversed ho was half a length in front. All the way to the Craven Point, a dis tance of over a mile, he held command, but so closely was he pressed by the Londoner that his advantage was again and again reduced from half to a quarter of a length, and more than once to a foot or two only. Sadler, rowing rather wildly, but with desperate strength, would ever and ADM turn his head to look athis man, and would then put on all his force to catch him. At times, however, he faltered, and at one point, just before Craven Cottage was reached, he positively stopped for a moment and al lowed Percy to got a length and a half away. The excited shouts of the backers of either of the two scullers were tremendous as the half-dosen steamers puffed up along side and astern of the race. Both men were labouring hard, and so difficult was it still to say who would win that only short odds wore offered either way. From the Craven Point the ordinary course lies athwart the river to the south side, and this Percy took, leading by three parts of a length. Sadler still lying very close to his rival's boat, steered up rather than across, and it was clear that unless one of them changed his lino a foul was likely to ensue. Sadler did, in fact, get so near to the Northern man's sculls, or vice versa—as the um pire had to decide that Percy halted for a moment, and held up his hand in token of claiming a foul. This was in mid river, rather more than a mile from the start. They both went on again, aiming for the south shore, Percy still leading. Again, when about another hundred yards had been done further, both were steering straight up the river, Percy stopped, and Sadler going on brought the blade of his scull across the Northerner's chest. Virtually the race ended here. Sadler went on, while Percy waited until he got seven lengths to the front. Percy followed at that hopeless distance, and in the last few hundred yards between Barnes-bridge and the Ship at Mortlake, he reduced the interval to three lengths, by which distance he was beaten. The umpire on being appealed to, decided that Sadler had won, and the deci sion was received without demur. Sadler is engaged to row Cooper, another Tynesider, on the 22d inst.
