MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL IN TELLIGIINON, TWELVE O'CLOCK The Money Market for the week has closed very quietly, the inquiries being moderate and rates easy. There were no gold operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are steady at 23 25, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 21 22. The specie movements during the past week have again been on an extensive scale as regards the imports, which have amounted to about £761,931, including £26,000 from New York by the America, £13,141 by the City of London, £50,000 by the Queen, and £3,800 by the Teutonia. The Maid of Judah from Sydney has brought £61,168, the Highflyer from Melbourne £145,000, the Shannon from the Brazils £73,895, the Rhone from New Zealand, Australia, and the West Indies and Pacific £367,322, the Nyanza from Alexandria £4,975, and about £16,430 in silver bas been received from the Continent. The exports have been confined to shipments to the Continent, principally in silver, through private sources, estimated at about £226,785. The following remittances have been received by Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co., on account of the New Granada dividends : From Custom 'louse, Santa Martha, £BOO ; Barranquitto, £4OO ; total, £1,203. The Barranquitta agent writes that there will be no occasion to enter a formal protest in consequence of the non-payment of the sums due to the bondholders, as during the last month the collector of customs has been making payment on account, and he hopes in a few days to receive the balance of what is due to date. The traffic receipts of the East Indian Railway for the week ending 7th of July, 1867, were £32,475 13s. sd. ; against £16,292 16s. 7d. of the corres ponding week last year, showing an increase of £16,182 16s, 10d. Two o'CLoca. A firmer tone has prevailed in the English Stock Market consequent upon the fine weather and the favourable prospects of the harvest. Consols have improved to 941 d for money and the 10th of September, and to 94k for the October settle ment.

October ACCIDENT A 7 CHATHAM DOCKYARD. TIM DAY. (By Electric Telegraph.) CHATHAM, Saturday. At an early hour this morning the large caisson at the entrance to the fourth dock, in which her Ma jesty's ship Beacon is preparing for sea, suddenly burst without having given any previous indications of weakness. The results were most disastrous, the tide, which was unusually high, rushing into the dock with terrific force, lifting the Beacon completely out of the water, and causing considerable damage to that vessel, which was thrown on her beam ends and filled with water; one of the screw shafts was broken off, and the other much injured, while the vessel is believed to have sustained other serious in juries. The caisson, which has been in use for upwards of 40 years, was believed to he in sound condition ; and the cause of the accident is inex plicable. Several hundred workmen are employed repairing the damage to the ship and dock. THE WAR WITH PARAGUAY. Official correspondence relating to the hostilities in the River Plate, and the abortive attempt at mediation on the part of the United States, has been laid before Parliament. Paraguay has, it is said, a population of no more than 600,000 souls, and since the commencement of the conflict has had no means of obtaining supplies from abroad. In March the invading land forces amounted to about 60,000 men, and the naval fleet comprised 67 vessels, ten of them ironclads, while the forces of President Lopez were believed not to exceed 22,000 men. But so energetic was the defence, that the whole Brazilian fleet was kept at bay for 40 days by a bat tery built on a spit of land at ltapiru armed with two 68-pounder guns; and after a campaign of two years the allies held but about nine square miles of Para guayan territory, a space hardly more than suffi cient to contain (were they laid side by side) the bodies of those who had perished from sickness and wounds during the attempts to gain possession of it. A report on the military operations which was transmitted to the Foreign-office of London in April states that the allies could not then place in the field more than 32,000 effective men, a fifth of these being three months' recruits ; the whole number of the troops of Lopez was supposed to be reduced to about 20,000, and they were suffering great privations The women and children are made to work for the army, and some of the former are supposed to have fought by the side of the men, as the bodies of several have been found among the heaps of slain. The devotion of the Paraguayans to their leader—whether inspired by love or terror is not very clear—almost surpasses belief. The body of one was recovered who must have been drowned while successfully attaching a torpedo to the screw of a Brazilian ironclad. They have repeatedly been cut down at the very muzzles of the guns which they have been madly endeavouring to drag by main force out of the embrasures. It is, however, confidently asserted that they have never been able to withstand in the open field the bayonet charges of the Brazilian infantry, and that of late they have shown signs of discouragement. The Brazilian troops of whom fully one half are negroes, and the greater part of the remainder mulattoes or Indians, appear to be in a very efficient state. Although great attention is paid to their drill it is said that, in spite of their individual bravery, which cannot be called in question, when under tire they lose the steadiness which characterises European,troops,and sometime become unmanageable. Each soldier is provided with three complete suits of uniform made of good serviceable material. When in heavy march ing order the weight carried by the rank and file, including 60 rounds of ball cartridge, has been reduced from 521 b. to 401 b. With the exception of one battalion, lately supplied with needle guns, the troops are all armed with Minie rifles of a large bore, but the grooves of many of these seem to be much worn by constant use. The cavalry are principally armed with lances a certain number, however, in each corps carry car bines instead of lances. The men have the reputa tion of being splendid horsemen, and all use both the ' lasso' and the bolas.' Since the Field-Mar shal has assumed the command the utmost order and cleanliness are to be found in the Brazilian camps. The officers live in huts and the men in small can vas tents, which hold two in each. The latter aro a little larger than the French ' tentes d'abri,' and afford but little protection either from the sun or rain. The great amount of sickness prevalent among the Brazilians may in a great measure be attributed to the use of these tents, as the Argentines, who are both ill fed and poorly clad, but live in huts, are far healthier than their allies." In May the Go vernment journal of Buenos Ayres, had an account of the capture of a Paraguayan picket of soldiers, three of whom were only 13, 12, and 11 years of age, and they stated that the whole force was under 1 2,000, and three battalions were made up of boys and one of old men, and that provisions were scarce and ammunition running out. The name " Repub lic" is adopted in Paraguay, but the Government of that fine country is one of pure despotism, with au espionage extended to all classes ; yet there is a real devotion to the service of Lopez, which is said on all sides to be beyond the powers of belief of those who have not witnessed it. Mr. Lettsom, reporting to Lord Stanley from Montevideo on the 29th of May, writes :—" I cannot but hope that ere long the voice of some strong and disinterested Power will make itself heard in a manner which will at once put an end to this desolating war, and secure for the peo- ple of Paraguay more freedom than they have hitherto enjoyed, and to which boon they have proved themselves to be fully entitled. Writing again on the 29th June Mr. Lettsom says :—" What the result of the war will be I do not pretend to predict ; but it seems probable that Paraguay will succumb from exhaustion." LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET—This Day The Market opens very flat. Sales probably 7,000 bales. THREE MEN KILLED.—On Thursday evening a lamentable accident occurred at Pembroke dockyard. Some men were engaged in testing a crane, and during the ope ration the crane gave way; the result was that three of the men lost their lives, and two others were badly in jured.

Caroline Jones, a female about 30 years of age, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a bonnet and several articles of wearing apparel from the person of a young woman named Alice Green. Police-constable Thomas Hand, 54 E, said that about 2 o'clock that morning he was on duty in Fitzroy-street, Fitzroy-square, when he saw the prisoner standing by a young woman who was lying on the step of the house of Mr. Kelly, 25, Fitzroy-street. lie walked across the street, and as soon as ho did so the prisoner made off, having a large bundle with her. Finding the female lying on the steps in a state of insensibility he went after the prisoner and brought her back, when ho found that she had all but stripped the other female. The young woman was then taken to the Middlesex Hospital, where the surgeon stated that she had been drugged, and subsequently she was taken to the Pancras Workhouse and placed in the infir mary, and the doctor stated that she was not in a fit con dition to attend the court at present. Mr. Knox said the prisoner would be remanded till the young woman could attend. ROBBERY AT A PICTURE GALLERY.—CharIes M'Grady, alias "Fiddle," John Taylor, alias "Curley," and Sarah Howe, were charged before Mr. Knox with stealing an oil painting of the value of £2O, the property of Mr. Fitz patrick, picture-dealer, Pall-mall. The evidence showed that the picture having been pledged at Mr. Harrison's, Wardour-street, by Howe, and a description afterwards being seen, by Mr. Harriscn's assistant, of the picture in the "Police List," he communi cated with Sergeant Hagen, of the C division, who went to Howe's lodgings in St. Ann's-court, Wardour-street, and asked her about the picture, but she denied all know ledge of it. Sergeant Hagen took Howe to Mr. Harrison's, where she was at once identified as the person pledging tho picture, and she then stated that she had pledged it for two men she knew as "Fiddle" and "Curley," and that she was to have 2s. for her trouble. Sergeant Hagen then took her to the station, and went to Windmill-street and made inquiries for the male prisoners, and afterwards thinking it probable that they would go in consequence of inquiries being made for them to Howe to warn her what to say, he went to Howe's lodgings, and after wait ing there for some time the male prisoners, as he expected, arrived, and he then took them into custody. M`Grady said ho know nothing of the picture, and Taylor said he stole it. Sergeant Hagen said he believed both the male prisoners had been several times convicted. Mr. Knox committed the prisoners for trial. it. I afterwards examined the mat, and the pistol was gone. By Mr. Leech—l did not notice anything re markable in his manner or appearance. Mr. IV. Cantrell, druggist, Belper, proved that he sold the prisoner a pistol on the Bth Aug. last for ls. 6d. On the following Saturday evening (the 10th) he sold him the powder, caps, and a few shots. He had two pennyworth of No. 9 shot. Sarah Waterfall-4 live in Field-lane, Belper. On the morning in question I was in the house about half -past eight o'clock, when the prisoner brought our milk. Prisoner took up a pistol, and ~ a id to a little boy in the house, " I will shoot you." The boy's name was Slater. The pistol went off and made a little noise. I did not find auy bullet or shot, nor did I see any marks on the boy Slater. Prisoner went to the house immediately afterwards. Mr. Superintendent Shawe, of Belper, produced a quantity of shot corns (18 in number) and some wads. Four of the shots had blood upon them, which he had received from David Ashover. lie got a warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner on August 14, but he was not to be found, although they had scoured the country for him. Mr. Leech wrote on Monday last, saying prisoner would volun tarily surrender, and he has done so. This was the whole of the evidence, and the depo sitions having been read over, prisoner was com mitted for trial for unlawfully and maliciously wounding. SITARE LlST—This Day.

The Lords of the Admiralty landed yesterday morning shortly after 10 o'clock at the Devonport dockyard, where they were received by Port-Ad miral W. F. Martin, K.C.8., Admiral-Superinten dent T. R. Drummond, C. 8., Capt. G. C. Willes, Steam Reserve ; Captain the Hon. F. A. C. Foley (Cambridge), Capt. W. N. Rolland (Lord Warden), Capt. J. C. Burgoyne, V.C. (Wivern), Capt. F. S. Freemantle (Impregnable), Mr. Moore, Master Shipwright, and the officials of the dockyard. Their lordships proceeded to the office of the Admiral- Superintendent, where there were assembled the Hon. T. L. Corry, First Lord of the Admiralty Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.8., First Sea Lord; Admiral G. 11. Seymour, C. 8.; Major Clark, Chief Inspector of the Engineering Depart ment; Admiral R. S. Robinson, Controller of the Navy ; and Capt. Brandreth, Lord H. Lennox, and Mr. C. Du Cane. Their lordship's continued on duty in the office until half-past 12. After luncheon they would commence their inspection by proceed ing through the Devonport dockyard and Keyham steamyard. In the evening they dine at Mount Wise with the Port Admiral, after which they go to the ball at St. George's-hall, Stonehouse, in favour of the Royal Female Orphan Asylum. The paddle-wheel steam frigate Valorous, 16, Captain Charles C. Forsyth, which arrived in Ply mouth Sound yesterday morning, left the Cape of Good Hope on the 4th of July ; touched at St. Helena on the 19th of July; at Ascension on the 25th, and at St. Vincent on the Bth of August. She spoke July 8, an English bark showing the third distin guishing pendant 8239, from Algoa Bay for Lon don ; on the 15th, the P. Bouverie, 71 days from Bombay, for Liverpool ; and the Clara, 59 days from Madras, for London ; on the 17th, an English ship showing first distinguishing pendant 0275, 67 days from Calcutta, for London ; August 1, the English ship Inventory, and August 29, the ship Essex. The Valorous brings the following officers invalided from the West Coast of Africa :—Mr. Thurston Stringer,master ; Mr. Jeremiah Donovan, assist.-surg. ; and Mr. Henry J. Morgan, midship man. The Valorous was put into commission on the 15th of April, 1863. She will be inspected to day preparatory to proceeding into Hamoaze, when her crew will be p aid off. The indicator diagrams taken on the last trial of the Waterwitch hydraulic propelled gun vessel over the measured mile iu Stoke's Bay, near Ports mouth,on the 27th inst., gives the following figures: —At full-boiler power—lndicated horse power 800.85; mean pressure of steam in the cylinders, 25.9991 b. At half-boiler power—lndicated horse power, 271.23 ; mean pressure of steam in the cylin ders, 12.9741 b. It is somewhat remarkable that on the present trial the Waterwitch with a greater exerted power of her engines should have obtained a less rate of speed, as compared with her previous trial on the 9th inst., as shown by the subjoined figures :—August 9.—lndicated horse power, at full power, 777.13 ; at half power, 226.02 ; mean pres sure of steam in the cylinders —at full boiler power, 26.727 ;at half boiler power, 11 . 645. The loss in the ship's speed on the 27th can only be ascribed to the fouling of her bottom, which may have taken place during the 23 days she had been out of dock, and to the alteration in her trim from her former trial, her trim having been 10in. by the stern on her trial on the 9th inst., and but 4in. on her last trial. The only fact learnt from this last trial of the ship corroborates the remarks made in The Sun a few days since, that the Waterwitch needed no further trial, the only vessel of the three —the Viper, Vixen, and Waterwitch—that it was necessary to give another trial to, so as to stamp the competitive series at their proper value, being the Viper at the trim she was designed to steam at —l2in. by the stem. The Waterwitch was tested on her last trial at the same mean draught of water as the Viper. Mean draughts do not, however, re present equal conditions unless the vess e l s h ave th e same trim. The Viper was trimmed 23 inches by the stern, but the Waterwitch was only trimmed by the stern six inches. With this difference the form of the hole each made in the water was very diffe rent, and all conditions of equality were destroyed. It has always been understood that theWaterwitch, the Viper, and the Vixen were specially built to test the comparative value of the hydraulic wheel and the screw, and that with the Waterwitch trimmed at an even keel and the others each 12 inches by the stern the displacement in both measurement and form would be as nearly as possible alike with all three vessels. If this be the case, it is evident that all trials made under other conditions are entirely valueless. The Government screw storeship Hesper, Staff- Commander James G. H. Thain, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from China. In addition to her cargo of stores she brought home a number of naval invalids and 30 invalided soldiers, accompanied by Lieut. Dunn, 2d battalion 29th Regiment, in mili- tary charge, and Assist.-Surg. Hensman, 2d batta lion 20th Regiment, in medical charge. To-day will be observed as a holiday in Ports mouth dockyard, by permission of the Lords of the Admiralty, given on the occasion of their recent visit of inspection to that establishment. The unarmoured screw frigate Forte, 29, 2,364 tons, 400-horse power (nominal), attached to the third division of the steam reserve squadron in the Medway, has been placed in dock, where she is undergoing a thorough overhaul and refit previously to being placed in the first-class steam reserve, in readiness for commission. The Forto will require some heavy repairs, which will detain her in the shipwright's hands for some time. A number of hands are employed in the steam sawing-mills at Chatham Dockyard preparing the imbers and cutting out the frames for anew unarmoured screw corvette, to be named the Wood lark, which is to be at once commenced at Chatham, from the designs of the Chief Constructor of the Navy. The Woodlark is to be one of a new do- scription of improved screw corvettes designed by Mr. Reed, between the Blanche and the old type of screw corvettes, of which the Rattlesnake was the last constructed at Chatham. She will be of 1,450 tons burden, with engine power of 400 horses, and will mount an armament of six heavy guns. The vessels of this class will be constructed on the U-shaped principle, with broad midship sections, which will give ample accommodation for the officers and crew, besides allowing them to carry more powerful machinery than usually fitted to vessels of their tonnage. In consequence of the whole arrangements con nected with the proposed siege operations at Chatham, which were to have taken place, as con templated, on Monday next, not being completed, the review and engineering operations have been Postponed by the authorities until a future occasion. The under-mentioned officers of the 2d battalion WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY, IF TnuE.--Mr - . -- Selfe, addressing In spector Rolls, of tho B division, said that ho wished to speak to him about the disposal of some money, found by a constable upon a prisoner. He had an application from a poor woman named Dwyer, stating that her son was charged with stealing a pair of boots, and after his con viction at the Westminster Sessions she had applied to the police for some money found upon Lim, and was unable to get it. • Inspector Rolls said that lie had made some inquiries into the matter, and had been informed that the money had been ordered to bo given to the prosecutor by the judge before whom the case had been tried. Mr. Selfe said he could not possibly understand that. The prosecutor only complained of being robbed of a pair of boots, and therefore it was extraordinary that money, which ho had not lost, should be given to him. inspector Rolls said he had understood that the judge had ordered the money to bo given to the prosecutor as well as the boots, because the latter had boon dirtied to make them look second-hand instead of new. Mr. Selfe thought it very unlikely. Mrs. Dwyer here stepped forward, and said that the inspector's account was untrue. The money, which amounted to 3s. 4d., belonged to her, and after her son's conviction ho told the court it was his mother's, and the judge ordered that it should be restored to her, but she found she was unable to get it, and had therefore applied to the magistrate. She was a very poor woman, and wanted her money. Mr. Selfe said he had no power to help her. Inspector Rolls observed that ho would send a sergeant down to the Sessions to make full inquiries into the matter. THAMES. SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF A ROBBERY ON TOWER-lIILL. Michael Burko, a well-known and active thief, aged 29, was charged with stealing 3s. in silver and ls. in pence and halfpen.;e, from tho person of Mr. G. Liddle, a traveller in the wine and spirit trade. Yesterday afternoon, at half-past 3 o'clock, and while a boat-race was going on upon the river, a police-constable named Joseph Marriott, No. 174 11, was peeping through a rifle hole in the eastern gate of the Tower of London, and saw the prisoner among the mob collected ou Tower. hill in the act of rifling the pockets of the prosecutor, who was the worse for licFor. The prisoner put his hands into all Mr. Liddle's pockets, except the loft-hand trousers pocket, and took from them all the =coy ho had. Marriott left his hiding place, and immediately seized the pri soner, who had some money in both hands. Mar riott had hold of one hand, which contained two threepenny pieces and a penny. Tho prisoner at the same time threw away the money in his other and tripped up the constable. Marriott was soon on his feet again, pursued the prisoner, and caught him. The prisoner throw the constable again, and several disorderly ruffians attempted to rescue the prisoner. A sentinel on duty at the Tower Gates came to the assistance of the constable, presented his bayonet, and threatened to run it through his body if he made any further resistance. The prisoner then submitted. The Prisoner—How large was the hole in the gate of the Tower ? Marriott—Large enough to see you rob the prosecutor. (A lough.) Mr. Liddle said ho was robbed of 45., and saw the con stable seize a man alongside of him. Ho had liquor. The Prisoner—How much ? Mr. Liddle—l don't know. The prisoner was committed for trial. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION. On Thursday George Spendlove, alias Needham, a youth of 15 or 16, was brought before the Belper bench of magistrates on a charge of attempting to shoot Mary Titterton, an aged female, who has been for some time housekeeper to the Rev. L. Lloyd, of Belper. The offence took place on Sunday morning, August 11, since which time the prisoner has been missing. His means of subsistence having become exhausted, the prisoner returned home in a wretched, half-starved condition, and was given up to the police by bis parents. The particulars of the case will be gathered from the following evidence : Mary Titterton said—l am housekeeper to Rev. L. Lloyd, and am 61 years of age. Prisoner de livered milk at our house daily. He was servant to Mr. Cooper, Daily Farm. On Sunday morning prisoner brought the milk as usual, and I had asked him for an extra pint. I was standing near the table, when the prisoner drew a pistol from his pocket. I said, " Oh, dear, what are you doing with that ?" It was then pointed towards the window, the dresser being under the window. He made no answer, but turned round, pointed the pistol at my left side and fired it. I said, " I ani shot." He muttered something to me, but I could not understand what it was. I afterwards went into a neighbour's house, and a surgeon was sent for. My stays were thickly wadded with cotton where the shot went through. By Mr. Leech (who appeared for the prisoner) —Prisoner and I were on friendly terms, and I thought him a well-behaved lad. John Mather— On Sunday morning, August 11, Wino o'clock, one, cry out, " I am I heard a s a h b o o t u t fi r twenty ed, an d m i he u a t r e d s p s a o s m t shot." I went to Mr. Lloyd's door, and saw Mrs. Tatterton coming outside. I laid hold of her, and assisted her into my mother's house. I came out of the house again, and met prisoner in the middle of the road with a milk can in his hand. I asked him what he had been up to, and he re plied, " Don't tell the master." I then went to my house and sent my servant for Mr. Evans, surgeon. Directly afterward s I saw Mr. Cooper, prisoner's master, and told him what had occurred. I subsequently communicated with the police. Prisoner walked to the street, and I said to him, " Of right I ought to take you into custody," but be made no reply. Mr. Johnson, surgeon, Belper, said —I was fetched to Mrs. Titterton, who said she had been shot. I examined her body, and found on the left arm, ex tending from the wrist to the elbow, a blackened appearance of the skin, which was perforated with powder. She complained of the left side. I exa mined her and found five distinct slight erasions of the skin, the place being inflamed and blackened. I examined her stays, and the marks I found upon them would correspond with the marks I saw on her side. The shot-corns were all removed before I got there. Sarah Wardle, assistant to Mr. Brown, draper, King-street, Belper, said On Sunday morning, August 11, about 25 minutes past 9 o'clock, pri soner left milk at the house, and I saw him put something under the mat. After he was gone I lifted np the mat and found a pistol concealed under Share COLONIAL GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. British Columbia 6 per cent., Deo. 31, 1372 Can.Gov.6p.o.Ja.& July 1877-84 eo. 6 p. o.

It appeared that the complainant had been in the service of Lady Frankfort about three weeks only. On Wednesday, the 21st inst., her mistress called her many foul names, and afterwards ordered her to take the tea kettle downstairs. Just as complainant began to descend the stairs Lady Frankfort called out to her to take down a pillow which had been vomited upon by a dog. Before the girl had time to pick the pillow up the lady threw it at her, the vomit flying in her face. The magistrates consi dered the assault proved, and fined the Viscountess Frank fort do Montmorency 40s. and costs, or two months' im prisonment in default of payment. The fine was paid. PROVINCIAL FINANCE.—The Birmingham Small arms Company have issued a report announcing a dividend at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum. Igo 100 100 100 100 100 93f f 941 100 1121 12 of the 221 Regiment have proceeded from Chatham garrison to Newcastle, to join the depot of that regiment :—Capt. A. J. Davern, Capt. J. W. Tre vor, Lieut. G. Turner, Lieut. 11. B. Pitman, Lieut. A. G. Richards, and Ensign T. E. G. Molyneux. Recruiting for the corps of Royal Marines Light Infantry having lately been attended with great success,• in consequence of the increase of pay recently made for the non-commissioned officers and men of that branch of the service, the whole of the divisions are now up to their full establishment. An order was accordingly received at the headquarters of the Chatham division from the Admiralty yes terday directing the standard for recruits to be raised from sft. sin. to sft. Gin. ; discharges by purchase being at the same time resumed. Deputy-inspector-Gen. R. Bowen, lately attached to the medical department in Canada, has been ap pointed principal medical officer at Chatham, suc ceeding Dep.-Inspector-Gen. J. Fraser, M.D., C. 8., and has commenced his duties at the garrison. About 200 men belonging to the depots of the Ist, 2d, 9th, 46th, 47th, and 58th Regiments have arrived at Pembroke Dock, from Devonport. These detachments were sent to Plymouth a few months ago, where it was expected their services would be required. Their further presence in that district being considered unnecessary, the men have returned to their old quarters. Major-Gen. Spencer, K.C.8., in his general orders at Devonport, spoke in high terms of the excellent good conduct of these troops during their stay at Plymouth. On Monday morning three officers, with 128 non-commissioned officers and men, of the Ist bat talion Grenadier Guards, will leave Waterloo by the 10.50 a.m. down train en the London and South Western Railway for Windsor, in advance of the main strength of the battalion, which is to relieve the Ist battalion Scots Fusileer Guards at present quartered in the Infantry Barracks, Sheet-street. On the following morning the rest of the battalion, consisting of 11 officers, 525 non-commissioned officers and men, 84 women, 107 children, and four horses, will march to the Waterloo terminus of the South Western line, and at 10 a.m. proceed by special train for Windsor, where they will arrive shortly after 11 o'clock. STATE OF TRADE. MANcarsTEr., Aug. 30.—There is very little doing in either yarn or cloth, and the market still wears a very depressed tone. Not only is the de pression still severely felt in shipping yarns, which had declined id. to id. per lb. on Tuesday, but there is next to nothing doing for the markets of India awl Germany. The price of yarns for these markets is again rather lower, but what stops busi ness is not a question of price, but an absence of demand. Yarns for China have been an exception, and buyers of these have operated pretty freely at the fullrates of the day. For home-trade yarns the market is depressed, and they are almost unsaleable. The demand for yarns suitable to Glasgow is equally flat. Prices are tending downward for most de scriptions of cops, and we have now had 10 to 12 days of steady decline. In cloth the same weaken ing tone which has prevailed for some time still continues, and is attended by much irregularity in prices. Buyers continue to make reductions in the rates they offer, and will only give these where the goods are in stock or can be quickly supplied. These low rates have met with acceptance in some instances where goods are on hand, but manufacturers find it impossible to put down orders to contract except under the feel ing that they have only the alternative of doing this, stopping their looms, or making to stock. There is an opinion expressed in some quarters that the market has now reached its lowest point, but few seem to have practical faith enough in it to hold goods where an opportunity of selling presents it self. 'We close without much business for any foreign markets, and long cloths, T-cloths, domestics, and counterpanes for the home trade are but in moderate demand, partaking of the same tendency to weakness which affects other fabrics. LEICLSTEII, 30th.—There has been less activity in hosiery than during the past few weeks, the improve ment that was anticipated having given place to a somewhat dull feeling, although a few orders are still being placed. The factors seem to have sup plied their immediate requirements, to have on hand small stocks, and to show no disposition to purchase largely until they know the wants of the shop keepers, who complain on all hands of an in signifisant trade. Wools are unchanged. Prices are steady, and no one seems inclined to sell or buy. The better class of wools are the only qualities that meet with any sale, and of these but little is leaving the staplers. Plain worsted yarns are as before quoted, and manufacturers are mostly engaged in completing orders. Lambswool goods are flat, at stationary rates. Fancy yarns and hosiery are a moderate inquiry ; cotton yarns are slightly lower. The uncertainty in the price of cotton causes the cotton hosiery trade of Hinck ley to remain very depressed. In the elastic webbing trade only partial employment is given ; but the boot and shoe trade is more favourable. Railway Traffic Returns for the Week. Niles Opened. Receipts. Railways. 1867.

The letter stated that, having regard to the circum stances of the Strand Union and the adjoining parishes, the board had arrived at the conclusion that, as a preliminary step towards giving full effect to the intention of the Legis lature, certain parishes should be separated from, and other parishes added to, the Strand Union. The board contem plated that the parish of St. Anne should be incorporated with the parish of St. Giles and St. George's, Bloomsbury, and form together a new union ; that the parish of St. Clement Danes and the Liberty of the Bolls should be added to the Holborn Union ; and that the parishes of St. Martin-in-the-Fields and St. James, Westminster, be added to the Strand Union.
