NONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The affairs of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway have become notorious, their gross finan cial mi smanagement having brought the whole road, its directors and managers, into disrepute. This is Proved by the non-payment of dividend, the issue of mortgage bonds, and the marketable value of all the sec urities. In the columns of a contemporary, well supported by the principals of Bank of England, letters appear, signed Janus ll'llenry, in .which elaborate efforts are made to ex pima away the difficulties in which European investors' interests have been grossly sacrificed by un scrupulous m anagemen t. M r. J ames M c Il enry, in an aphorism with which he is no doubt well acquainted, will remember " qui s'excuse s'accuse." What could be more significant of maladministration than the following admission of Mr. James I‘‘llel lrY.—" Had the affairs of the road been .vigorously administered, its resources fairly deve loped, and reasonable economy exercised in its dis bursements, all interest money would have been re gularly provided, and consequently, from sustain ed credit, a very much higher rate had from sale of bends and shares under pledge for advances. The realisation of these latter at disastrous rates de prived me of the use of at least a million sterling in 1866 —caused me a loss to that extent in money, and greatly more in credit." Mr. Wlienry men tions that if his views be carried out the property Ilia)? be brought to a state of solvency in three Y ea rs. The bondholders and shareholders may suggestively think, in accordance with another Proverb—. "Notre mal s'empoisonne Du secours qu'on donne." To all who have money invested in this undertaking there is only one word of advice, and that is, re organisation. There was an influx of £138,000 in bar gold, _ a nd 9,000 sov ere i gns - fr o m P ar i s a t the B an k of England yesterday. The shipments of gold from Melbourne since the departure of the last mail have been to the extent of £718,000. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain at 23 25, and the Colsolidated Mortgage Bonds at 21 22. The Alice has arrived at Liverpool from New Orleans with Mexican dollars amounting to £70,000; and the Queen, from New York, has brought about £50,000 in specie. The Mexican dollars by the West India packet have been sold at 59d. per ounce, and the bar silver at 60id per ounce. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been very little animation. Sugar has been in limited request at barely. previous rates, while superior qualities of coffee have been in demand at full values. Rice has been neglected, and the operations in tallow have been too limited to cause any material change in valu es . The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 28th August gives the following re sulsts when co mpared with the previous week : üblic I , t "' ••• £3,374,774 Decrease £25,160 Other dePosits 7,350,218 Increase 823,704 deposits 18,870,130 Decrease. 598,315 Govo a the oth er side of the account : terntnent securiti es £12 ,812,373 No change.

M'Laren, M.P., to the invitation from the Scottish National Reform League to attend the great Re form meeting proposed to be held in Glasgow on the 17th of September : " House of Commons, Aug. 20, 1867.. . , " Dear Sir,—l duly received your letter of the 10th inst., inviting me to attend • the National Conference of Pulitical and Social Reformers to be held in Glasgow on the 17th of Sep tember, and have to thank you for the honour done me by the invitation ; but as the Reformers in Glasgow and the West are well able to manage their own affairs without any aid from Edinburgh and the East, and as I have remained here during the whole Session and require some re laxation from labour, I hope my non-attend ance will be excused. "..As you ask my opinion respecting the future, I may state that the burgh franchise is now so ex tended that I think all agitation for any further extension should cease for many years. It seems to me that the ballot will be required to protect depen dent voters, both in burghs and counties, under the extended franchises, and that without this or some other protection to these classes we shall not have a Parliament so independent as it ought to be for the public interest. " The question of a good Reform Bill for Scot land seems to me to require the serious attention of all classes and parties in Scotland, with a view to in creased representation, and I cannot doubt that if the people of Scotland will earnestly unite for the promotion of that object they will be successful. I have never met with one English or Irish member who, in conversing on the subject, did not admit that seven additional members were far too few, nor anything like an approxi mation to justice to Scotland. Owing to the way in which all discussion on the Scotch Reform Bill after the first reading was managed to be suppressed the House of Commons cannot be held to be com mitted even to the increase of seven members, be cause the second reading was carried by a surprise, without any discussion; and on this account it does not carry the moral weight it would have done had the increase been agreed to by all parties knowingly, and after a full discussion. On the first reading of the bill, after several Scotch mem bers had praised it more or less, I took the liberty of condemning it very strongly as being quite in adequate in extent, arid unjust in its proposed distri bution of the seven members, as well as in other par ticulars ; and the more I have thought on the sub ject since that time, the stronger have my objec tions become. Within the last week a new return has been printed on the motion of Mr. Crawford (No. 524), brought down to the 31st of March of the present year, which shows that during the year ending at that date Ireland contributed £4,494,046 under the four great heads of Excise, Stamps, Land and Assessed Taxes, and Income-tax, while Scotland contributed£6,ol6,74B under the same four heads ; and yet Ireland has 105 members, while Scotland has only 53 ! Nothing could more clearly show the flagrant injustice of the present distri bution of legislative power, under which Scotland has become merely a great sponge, out of which is squeezed annually the largest possible amount of taxes with the least possible degree of influence re garding their application. The consequence is that Ireland, which pays so little into the exchequer, gets at least four times as much out of it as Scotland gets, as will soon be proved beyond the possibility of cavil or dispute by a return which I have recently moved for, and which I hope will soon be forth coming.—l am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, _ " D. 11PLAREN. "Mr. George Jackson, sec., Scottish National - Reform League, Glasgow." 7HE LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUII-1 EASTERN RAIL WAY. THIS DAY. • The 43d ordinary meeting of this company took report, The or, place at the I n t ernat i onal Hotel this morn i ng , M r . S. Laing in the t chair. which has already appeared in The Sun, was taken as The CHAIRMAN said, after the seal had been affixed to the register of shareholders, in moving the adop tion of the report, that the report had gone so fully into detail that it was not necessary for him to say much. As a very small section of the shareholders were present at the meetings it was necessary to make the report :a critical one, and have everything placed as clearly and distinctly as possible before the whole body. He would come to the broad fact at once, that in 12 years they had doubled their capital, and not got an increase of income. It was an unpleasant thing, and he did not wonder that both the shareholders and the directors were un willing to look this evil in the face, and they went on until no more money could be obtained, and they, he thought, owed a great deal to the committee of investigation, who had ex posed the true position they were in. They now knew the worst, and he trusted would go on in a different manner iu future. When the new directors took office they found that if something was not done they might get into Chancery. One of the great advantages was the settlement of the debt with the Union Bank, and it would be ' advantageous to the bank. If the issue had been made it was inevitable that they must have gone to the Court of Chancery. By the allotment, the whole account would go amongst the shareholders, and there had been a small premium, which was advantageous to the smaller ones. The whole had been taken up, and the money put into the company's bankers. They were now in a state of solvency, and their liabilities were reduced to about one million and a quarter, and their assets were £90,000. There were other questions with regard to the lines that were bank rupt which he should be obliged to defer, as it would answer no purpose to state what was their intention with regard to them at present. The works on the lines which had been suspended had been recommenced, and they were progressing on the South London and Sutton lines. The Brighton Company had arrived at such a state in raising capital that they must pay for their stations, im provements, &c., by a reduction of the dividends. They could not charge these expenses to capital. They must charge them to revenue expenditure, and this would reduce the dividends. As to plant, that ought to be charged half to capital half to revenue. He concluded by stating that the expenditure of the half-year, with a small balance, nearly absorbed the revenue.

SINGULAR APPLICATION FOR A PROTECTION ORDER.— A middle-aged lady, in a silk dress, was amongst the ap plicants for redress this morning, and stated that she wanted a protection order. Mr. Selfe—Under what circumstances ? Applicant—My husband left me three months ago, and the female he is keeping last night abused me. He is con .tinually in the neighbourhood, and I have no doubt has intentions against my goods. Mr. Selfe— How did he leave you ? Applicant-1.300 in debt, which I have paid, and com menced business again for my eight children. I don't want him to come and lay claim to what I have got. Mr. Selfe—There are two kinds of protection hero. The one you seek is for the protection of the goods of a woman whose husband has deserted her. You say that your hus band is continually in the neighbourhood? Applicant—Yes, he is. Mr. Selfo—Perhaps ho will repent of his way. Applicantr-I am sure „Lean% say. My friends propose getting me a divorce. Mr. Selfe—That will bo an effectual protection, Applicant—That's what I wish when I get my affairs settled. lam anxious to commence business again, but of course I can't without some surety. My husband ran away from his creditors. Mr. Selfe—There is a difference between running away from his creditors and running away from his wife. A man may run away from one or other or from both. Your husband may soon got sick of his illicit connection and return to the bosom of his family. Applicant—That lam quite sure he never will; I will take care of that. Mr. Selfo having pointed out that he had no power to grant an order under such circumstances, the lady with drew. THAMES. A WIFE-BEATER. - Thomas Cotton, a labourer, of No. 3, Little Union-street, St. George-in-the-East, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with violently assaulting his wife. The complainant, a squalid, careworn, half-starved woman, said the prisoner neglected her and her children. and ha had often struck her. Last night she went after him to a publichouse, and he came home with her. He swore at her, and uttered the most foul abuse. Sho went into the kitchen to look after her children, who were sleep ing there, and her husband followed and knocked her down with his fist, and then kicked her. Iler screams brought a police constable to her dwelling, and the pri soner was given into custody. Mr. Benson—Well, prisoner, what have you to say to this ? The Prisoner—Nothing, sir. Mr. Benson—Nothing ? You hear what she says. The-Prisoner—l bring the money home, and she goes out and spends it in drink. The wife denied this, and said she expended her husband's earnings in a frugal manner. The Prisoner—You were drunk last night.

Sin,—l notice the remarks in your paper of the 16th from Mr. Spargor's pamphlet, which I think ought to be read by all the investing public. There cannot be a doubt blit money can be safely invested in our metallic mines in this country to much greater advantage than lending millions to foreign countries, with 80 and 100 years' .credit ; in fact, better give them the money, for doubtless a tithe of it will never be returned to the English investor ! What mighty and miraculous events may occur in less time than 80 years ? The sick man may die long ere this—nearly three generations of credit may expire. The Ecton Mine paid the Duke of Devonshire more than a million sterling, when the price of copper was less than the present quotation ; the Anglesea Mines paid several millions sterling when the standard of copper was less than 100 ; the Devon Consols more than a million ster ling, and the price of copper under the present quo tation ; and nu•nerous mines in Cornwall gave fabulous profits in dividends when the price of copper was from 10 to 20 per cent. below the price in August, 1867. Where money is lost in mines it has invariably been by re-opening old and exhausted mines. In embarking in old mines it is just like a young man marrying his grandmother ; to x; it, the once rich mines of Burra Burra, the Cobre Mines in Cuba, the rich mines in South Africa, the Cape, Canada, and California cannot pay when they get deep, unless the price is very high, and then the English mines get inundated with foreign copper. It is much better that the price of copper should re main just where it is—say about 115 standard— and then Cornwall and Devon have nothing to fear by embarking in new and unexplored ground. The cream or profit from mines is from the adit level to the 100 fms. under it, and below this depth the mineral invariably declines in value as the centre of the deposit is passed. This is understood by prac tical miners in most countries. £lO,OOO invested in English mines is equal to £lOO,OOO invested in most of the foreign mines. Ispeak this from my experience in foreign mines.—l am, &c., AN INVESTOR IN MINES FOR 40 YEARS. BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, August 29.

FUNERAL OF T EIE LATE DUE OF NO 'ITHUIVBERLAND.—(Th's Day.) ----~-- - The funeral of the mortal remains of the most noble George, Dake of Northumberland, took place to-day in Westminster Abb y. The hour fixed fur the solemn proceeding was one o'clock, but fur some time previous crowds of well-dressed per sons assembled in front of Northumberland House, at Charing-cross, to witness the funeral cortege quit the ancient mansion, and at about a quarter of an hour previous to the time fixed for the arrival at the Abbey the massive gates:were thrown open, and the procession emerged in the following order : Two mutes ; Jarvis and Child, undertakers ; Mr. Robertson, of Alnwiek ; two mutes; a lid of feathers. The hearse.a.nd six, containing the body. First mourning coach and four, containing—The Right Hon. the Earl Percy, the Right Hon. Lord Warkworth, the Hon.

Eleventh mourning coach and four, containing —Mr. Gilson and Mr. Wells. The late Duke of Northumberland's carriage, the Earl Percy's carriage, and the private carriage, and private carriages of the nobility and gentry following. There was an uttef absence of the millinery of undertaking in the procession. There was nothing of either pomp or ornament to show the funeral was that of " The Most High Puissant and Most Noble Prince George Percy, Duke and Earl of Northumberland, Earl Percy, Earl of Beverley of the county of York, Baron Wark worth of Wark worth Castle, and Lord Lovaine, Baron of Alnwick, in the county of Northumberland, Baronet, and one of the Lords of her Majesty's Most Honourable Council." It was as plain a funeral as could be possible, and differed only in the number of mourn ing carriages, and a few other minor details, from that of an ordinary English gentleman. Precisely at one o'clock the body was received at the western door of the Abbey by the clergy, and during the reading of the sentences with which the magnificent service for the burial of the dead com mences it moved in solemn procession to the choir, where the portion of the service appointed to be read there was performed by the Dean.— This leaving been concluded, the coffin was then carried to the vault of the Percys, which is situate in the chapel of St. Nicholas, to the right of Henry the Seventh's chapel, and precisely in front of the shrine of Edward the Confessor. In this chapel are the tombs of the following illustrious dead : Lady Cecil, 1591, Lady Clifford, 1679, Countess Beverley, 1812, Duchess of Somerset, 1587, Westmoreland family, 1618, Baron Carew, 1470, Nicholas Bagenell, 1688. Lady Burleigh and the Countess of Oxford, 1589, Dudley, Bishop of Durham, and Lady Harriet St. John, Maid of Honour to Queen Elizabeth,l4B3, Daughter of Christopher Harley, Ambassador of France to Charles 1., Lady Ross, 1591, Marchioness of Winchester, 1586, Duchess of Northumberland, 1776, Duchess cf York, 1433, Sir J. Villiers and his Countess of Buckingham, time of James 1., Sir Humphrey Stanley, 1503. The family vault opened for the reception of the late duke contained the crimson velvet covered coffins of six of his Grace's family, and the latest addition was placed side by side with that of his predecessor, Algernon, Duke of Northumberland, who died about two years ago. This having been done the memony ended, and the mourners returned to their carriages. There was no choral service or music of any description, and all the general public saw of the proceedings was the passing of the procession from the western door to the entrance of the choir. Only a very few favoured persons obtained the privilege of sitting in the choir, and still fewer to the chapel of St. Nicholas. The funeral, which was conducted by Messrs. Jarvis and Child, was remarkable for its plainness. THE LATE PROFESSOR FARADAY.—Professor Faraday belonged to a small sect called Sandimanians or Glassites, founded by Messrs..

A correspondent from Nottingham writes—" i heard Faraday read the Holy Scriptures nearly 10 years ago in the little Sandimanian Chapel in I Lonna's Gate (now a warehouse), in this town, and was then struck by the simplicity of his manners and tho clearness and impres siveness of his reading." A ROYAL MARRIAGE PRESENT.—The burgomas ters of the towns of the Bavarian palatinate assembled a few days since to consider what present th ey s h ould offer to the King on the occasion of his marriage. After a long dis cussion it was resolved that they should present to the royal bridegroom a hogshead of tho best wino Of the palatinate on a carriage drawn by four horses, together with a golden goblet.

How and whew she spent the last three days of her life is not yet ascertained, nor is there any clue as to whether sho came to be in the water by foul play or by her own act. DEFALCATION OF THE STEWARD OF A FRIENDLY SOCIETY.—On Wednesday, at Hugely, Staffordshire, Henry Cheshire, builder, who for the last two years has held the office of high steward of the Hugely Junior Friendly So ciety, was charged with appropriating to his own use nearly the whole of the funds of the society, amounting to £250.

(iSgned) ROULAND. THE HARVEST. BANBURY. —The weather has been very favour able for harvest operations, and good progress has been made. Cutting is going on daily, and all the crops are proving better than was expected. In many places wheat and barley will be deficient. The root crops look well. BERKSHIRE.—For the past fortnight the weather prevailing in Berkshire has been highly favourable for harvest work, the only interruption which has taken place being caused by a few showers of rain at intervals of several days. The local markets .have been quite forsaken lately, and so much pro gress has been made that nearly the whole of the wheat is now gathered in. The quality of much of the wheat we have seen is thin, and reports agree that the yield will not be an average one. In some parts there is a good deal of grass among the barley, which has deterred farmers carrying. Where the heavy rains laid down the corn the quality is thin ; still there is a good crop in many places. The oat crop-on light soils is satisfactory, but irregular on heavy lands. The root crops are spoken of in all directions as being good and remu nerative. BURTON-ON-TRENT.—The crops in this neigh bourhood are now matured, and all available work is rendered in the field. The quality of wheat generally is good, but the yield not so satisfactory. BRlGG.—llarvest work is now in full vigour, and the crops are being well gathered. !neat will be a tolerable yield. On the best lands barley will reach au average yield. The unfavourable weather early in the season has had an injurious effect upon potatoes, the disease being amongst them. Root crops generally look healthy. LOUGHBOROLMIL—There will be some good crops of wheat secured in this neighbourhood, and the grain on the best lands is of good quality. On the other hand, in some places the yield will be defi cient. A considerable quantity has now been garnered iu good condition. The crops of barley vary very much, and an average yield must not be loOked for. Oats upon the whole are a fair crop. Beans look very promising, and the root crops aro also progressing satittfactorily. MANSFIELD.-4 very fair breadth of land has been secured since our last report, the favourable state of the weather during the past few weeks has much improved all sorts of grain. Wheat is turn ing out better than expected, and barley has much improved. With a continuation of fine harvest weather a fair crop of each of the above *rain is anticipated. Beans will be a fair average yield. 6 Pastures are very luxuriant, and the root crops are progress. making good CONSUMPTION OF HOME-MNDF.

There was scarcely any old English wheat on sale here to-day, but the supply of new was good, and in fair aver age condition. For all kinds the demand ruled inactive, at Monday's decline in the quotations. The imports of foreign wheat have been moderately ex tensive, and the show of samples was on the increase. Sales progressed slowly, and previous rates wore barely supported. . In floating cargoes of grain the transactions were far from numerous, at about stationary pricos. Very little English barley was on the stands. The supply of foreign, however, was moderate. All kinds changed hands steadily, at very full prices. The malt trade was heavy, on former terms.
