The bills discounted remain the same as last week. At the meeting of the shareholders of the Tele graph to India Company the proceedings of the meeting held on Friday, the 12th July last, with reference to the agreement between the company and the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, were confirmed. The usual dividend of 5 per cent. per annum was also declared. Atlantic and Great Western Railway debentures have declined 1, to 25f 26k, but the Consolidated Mortgage bonds remain steady at 22 23. In the foreign and colonial produce markets dur ing the last few days there has been very little ani mation. Only moderate quantities of sugar have been brought forward, but prices remain steady. Superior qualities of coffee have found ready pur chasers at full rates, and the public sales of China tea have progressed at steady prices, a few superior qualities selling at a slight advance. In rice the dealings have been to a limited extent, and in tallow no material alteration can be reported in the quota tions current for present or forward delivery. The cotton report of Messrs. E. B. Liddell and Co., dated Alexandria, 27th July, 1867, states that " the only transactions we hare to report since our last of the 19th inst. are about 700 cantars of low stuff for the continent. The following quotations nominal :—Good middling, 11fd. f. o. b. ; fair to fully fair, 131 d. t0 . ,14d. do. ; good fair, 151 d. do. With regard to cereals, the telegraphic news from Europe to hand daily since our last of the 19th produced a strong feeling in our market, and prices in favour of sellers till the 26th, when buyers were not disposed to pay the previous rates, and the market closed a shade lower. To-day's prices were firm, at a decline of is. from the highest point for Saidi wheat. The transactions daily have been to a fair extent, and supplies cleared out as they come to hand. Quotations :—Beans, Saidi, 295. 6d. per 4801b5., f.o.b. ; ditto, Behera, 28s. 3d., ditto ; Wheat, Saidi, 425., ditto; ditto, Behere, 395. 9d., ditto ; barley, 235. 94 ditto." With regard to wheat, Mr. Cave,"of Birmingham, remarks as follows :--" Until Monday evening weather in this district continued fine but sunless. Monday night we had heavy rain ; Tuesday showery, with more rain at night ; Wednesday and to-day mostly fine. On the whole it is very unfavourable for harvest operations, and sadly retards the ripen ing of the corn crops, while farmers are looking most anxiously for some hot sunny weather. Wheat trade during the week has been limited to present requirements, and buyers operate with much caution. This may partly be accounted for by the small de mand for flour, and also by the present unremune rative state of the trade, while the supply of far mers' wheat has somewhat increased, arrivals of foreign continuing liberal. At this day's market there was a better show of English wheat, for which there was a fair demand, more especially for picked samples, which fetched an advance of ls. per qr. on the prices of last week. Two o'CLOCK. According to Renter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 69f. 850. Inanimate. Under the favourable influence of improved Veather, satisfactory intelligence from the agricul tural districts, better accounts from the principal manufacturing towns in the Midland and North- Western counties, larger traffic receipts on the leading lines of railway, more shipping business, and a demand for really good investments, the British funds are firmer. Consols, notwithstanding their recent advance, are again i per cent. higher, vIZ., at 941- 1 for money, and 941 4 for September. Foreign Stocks continue buoyant.

THROWING STONES AT WATERMEN CAUTION TO BOYS. —John Allen, a lad about 12 years of age, was charged as follows: The Suspected Murder at Limehouse. This morning the adjourned investigation was resumed respecting the alleged murder of Agnes Oakes, aged 22 years, who, as it was first stated, cut her throat after attempting to murder a lighter man, named John Wiggins, with whom she lived. The court and the streets near it were densely crowded by persons anxious to get a glimpse of the accused. Wiggings was brought up before the court, in accordance with the direr - ion of the Secretary of Sate. The prisoner was represented by his solicitor. A great deal of ev.Aence was taken with the view of showing that the deceased was a person of confirmed drunk-n habits, And that she had inflicted the wounds which caused :lead) with her own hand. The surgeon, however, was of opinion that much of what had taken place, ant whiclt was attributed to the deceased, was extimwly doubtful, the severe nature of the wounds, in his opinion, living quite sufficient to cause utter pros tration the moment tlwy were inflicted. The pri soner conducted himself calmly, and made a state ment to the effect that the young woman inflicted the injuries which caused her death with her uwn hand. The jury ultimately returned a verdict that the deceased was found with her throat cut, but the evidence was not conclusive as to how the injury had been inflicted. BANK OF FRANCE.

Yesterday afternoon ho was painting a barge in tho " Lnyby" of the Grosvenor-basin, when the defendant and some other boys commenced pelting him with stones. Ono that tho defen dant throw struck him on -the foot. His master, who wit nessed the trarsaction, ran rater the defendant, and he was handed over to the police. Mr. Thos. Hither, the master of the last witness, said that he saw the defendant and two other other boys pelt ing the last witness with stones, and when they wore spoken to they made use of bad language. Witness ran after the boys, and in the Grosvenor-road ho saw the de fendant take off a little boy's cap and hide it under his coat. Witness charged him with stealing the cap. A police-constable came up, and he gave the defendant into custody. Mr. Solfe said such dangerous proceedings must be put a stop to, and he should fine defendant in the sum of 55., or seven days' imprisonment. The money was paid by the boy's mother, and he left the court in her charge. THAMES. The new magistrate, Mr. Ralph A. Benson, the Recorder of Shrewsbury, who has been appointed to succeed Mr. Partridge, officiated for the first time this morning in kis magisterial capacity. The learned gentleman was called to the bar by the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple on the 26th of January, 1854. Mr. Partridge, who has gone to the Southwark Police-court, has been a stipen diary magistrate of Brighton, Wolterhampton, and the Thames Police-court for upwards of 15 years. Ho has left behind him many pleasant recollections for courtesy, im partiality, and kindness. He was a capital man of busi ness, painstaking; and never hasty in his decisions. He was held in much regard by the legal profession, and by all who ever came in contact with him in business trans actions. His retirement from this Court is deeply re gretted by the inhabitants of the district, and by the shipping and mercantile community of the port of Lon don. His decisions in maritime cases gate much satisfac tion, and his sagacity and legal abilities wore greatly ap preciated by all who came before him. It is to be hoped that a fit successor to Mr. Partridge will be found in Mr. Benson, who entered upon his new duties this morning, as if he was to the manner born, at ten o'clock precisely, and disposed of a great number of night charges. Ha com menced his magisterial labours by fining Mr. George Star lingtull, a commercial traveller,. ss. for being drunk and disorderly last night. Mr. Benson asked many questions of the police relating to the streets, courts, and alleys named by the witnesses, and said, "I don't know the im mense district assigned to this court yet, but I have no doubt I shall soon know more about it. Mr. Paget has al ways taken his seat on the bench with undeviating punctuality at ten o'clock in the morning, and it will be a great boon to the public if Mr. Benson will follow the example of his learned colleague with the same regularity. John Wiggins, lighterman, charged with the wilful mur der of a woman named Oakes, with whom ho cohabited, will be brought before Mr. Benson this afternoon, after the termination of the inquest in Limehouso. This case was originally before Mr. Paget Ist Friday, and it is expected that Mr. Benson will remand itcto some day, ou which his colleague will preside. If that is not done, Mr. Benson will have to go over the same ground again. MARKETS.---'This day. MARK LANE. Owing to the changeable state of the weather, the few samples of English wheat on sale here, to-day, were mostly held for more money. Millers, however, purchased cau tiously, at prices quite equal to Monday. The general quality of the supply was good. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with foreign wheat, in wh!ch a fair business was transacted at full quotations. The imports continue liberal. There was about an average business doing in floating cargoes of grain on former terms. No English barley was on offer. Foreign parcels moved off freely, at very full prices. Malt sold slowly, on former terms. Oats commanded 6d per qr. more money, with a pod demand. The supply was rather extensive. Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value. Seeds and cakes were a slow inquiry, at Monday's quo tations. SIIIr ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

(Signed) STALE OF T RADE. BRADFORD, Aug. B.—There is a better feeling in the wool market. The degree of firmness esta blished last week seems to be fairly maintained. Prior to that time there had, as will be remembered, been for a long time great irregularity in prices, and almost a constant tendency to decline; but this condition of things has now disappeared, and if there is no actual improvement in the shape of adrance, at any rate the b Isis of prices then established seems to be regarded as that in which spinners may safely operate. The result is that staplers seem more firm, while, at the same time, in the better prospect of fixity of quotations, no timidity is shown on the part of spinners, but more disposition to operate. Fine-haired wools are in steady demand, while Lincoln wools, especially hogs, are almost unsaleable. In worsted yarns there is no improvement. Shipping merchants aro doing little or nothing, and though there is a fair consumptive demand on home account, there is nothing like animation in this branch. Prices' are not generally lower, although some spinners seek to induce their customers to place orders by making a slight concession. The Sewer Flood in Belgravia. Few persons who are not actual sufferers have any notion of the frequency with which, not so very long ago, the districts in London which lie in the line of the great sewers were liable to inunda tions of sewer-water during great storms. iVithin these very few years any severe thunderstorm would inundate the basements of houses in certain parts Of Bond-street near the King's Scholarspond sewer, and of the Wcstbourne district of Paddington near the Ranelagh sewer; but since these sewers have been reconstructed and connected with the Metro politan Main Drainage such accidents have ceased. Still, however, the important districts which are waiting for the completion of the low level sewer, especially the lower parts of South Belgravia, are exposed once in every two or three years to this horrid nuisance. These districts arc below high water mark, and if their sewers were not protected by flap valves would be inundated by a reflux of the Thames through the sewers at every high tide. As it is, during the period of high water nothing can flow out from the sewers, whose contents gradually accumulate till the fall of the tide allows them to disgorge themselves into the river. But if, during Ugh tide; there should be an unusual rainfall, of course the sewers will be filled to an extraordinary degree, and will regurgitate into the drains of the houses which open into them, unless the latter are protected by flap-valves, as they always should be, to keep out gases, rats, and reflux water. The unlucky combination of high tide wit h violent rain fall occurred last week, and, in consequenco, .the kitchens and cellars of houses in such low lying districts as the Vaxhall-road, the Victoria sta tion, and South Belgravia generally floo w ere . with dilute sewer-water, to the height in s ded ome instances of three feet. The inhabitants may well pray for the completion of the low level sewer, and for plenty of power to the pumps tha s t .

A Deputy of the Portuguese Parliament—one Senor Pedro De Brit° Aran ha —has written to Victor Hugo to point out that though Portugal is "une petite con tree sans (Thule," y 4 it has sot the example to Europe of abolishing capital punishment. Victor Hugo replies as under: —" Your noble letter makes my heart throb. I had hoard the great news, but its repetition by you is delight ful. No; there are no small peoples. Alas! there are small men, and sometimes they lead great nations. Peoples who are ruled by tyrants aro like muzzled lions. I adore and glorify your Portugal. It is free ; therefore it is great. Portugal has abolished punishment by death. This is a great advance iu the march of improvement. To-day Portugal is in the van of European civilisation. You, Portuguese, have never ceased to be intrepid explorers. You advanced for,nerly in the ocean—now in the waters of truth.

Mr. GLADSTONE gave notice that next session he should move for leave to introduce a bill to abolish the payment of compulsory Church-rates. BUSINESS OF VIE HOUSE. ;The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER appealed to several hoe. members who had notice of motion standing on the paper on the motion for going into committee of supply. The right hon. gentleman said it was of the highest importance that the remaining votes in supply should be taken, and therefore ho hoped hon. members would not persevere that day and bring forward the sub jects standing in their names. Mr. FAWCETT said he had a notice to the effect that it would be undesirable for the Government to advise her Majesty to grant a now charter to any new university in Ireland without first consulting Parliament. If the right hon. gentleman would give him an assurance to that effect he would gladly give way. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having given the required promise, the hon. member said he should not bring forward the motion of which lie had given notice. The other hon. members having consented to postpone the motions that stood in their names the amendments for the Church Temporalities Orders (Ireland) Validation wore considered, agreed to, and the bill toad a third time. The same course having been adopted with respect to the Railway Companies (Ireland) Advances and Merchant Shipping Bill; the house went into Committee of Supply.

Quoting from a Trieste letter the Memorial Dip lomatique says that the physicians were unanimous in recommending the Queen of the Belgians to spare her sister-in-lawfrom any great excitement on the occasion of their first meeting after a long separa tion. At the sight of her Majesty the Empress ap peared more surprised than moved. Her peculiar sagacity caused her instinctively to comprehend that some great event had occurred when she who had been so long kept in complete isolation was allowed once more to embrace a beloved relative. but fearing, doubtless, to learn too speedily the irreparable loss she had sustained, she made no inquiry at the first interview for information con cerning the Eniperor Maximilian. She rather a ppeared to study the co untenance of the Que.en, in order to detect some ground for hope or alarm The Queen was attired in half ineurning only, the object of occasioning as little excitement as posiblo on the mind of the august sufferer. lint the latter the next morning perceived from the wiAdow of the apartment that the Queen's attendants were in deep mourning, and hum liately understood the extent of her misfortune, without, however, exhibiting her deep e motion further than by a melancholy which was the more affecting that it was not expressed in words. It could not b 3 doubted that the Empress no longer entertained any as to the fate of her husband, although no one had ventured to reveal it to her. Her cabal resignation was a sufficient proof of her knowledge of the sad event. General Deligny, commanding in the province of Oran, Algeria, has issued an order of the day point ing out the defective state of the national guard in that part of the colony, and directing measures to be taken to improve their efficiency. They arc to be called out every Sunday for two hours' exercise and drill and for shooting practice. In the rural dis tricts these guards are to be trained frequently to field tactics, and in the rules of attack and defence ; and, generally, the local military authorities are charged to make the force as effective as possible.
