The money market presents no variation either as regards the extent of the inquiry or the terms Ilion which it is supplied. Letters from the Mid land and Northern Counties received this morning are more encouraging, and there is some satisfaction in hearing of symptoms of resuscitation after the prolonged inactivity which merchants and manu facturers have experienced. A dividend of 4s. in the pound is in course of Payment to the creditors of Overend, Gurney, and CO., Limited. The total amount for distribution is 496 ,000.

At the forty-fourth half-yearly meeting of the Sambre and Meuse Railway held to-day the directors' report was presented.

A new sheet has been prepared, and will be ready for delivery with the dividend Warrant to such shareholders as shall have deposited their shares for verification before the 20th of September, and to any other shareholder on the s ame formality having been gone through after the Ist of October.

THE RIGHTS OF STEAMBOAT PASSENGERS. IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC. At the Lord Mayor's Court, before Mr. F. Gibbons and a jury yesterday afternoon, the case of taveridge v. Brown, raised a most important question in reference to steamboat passengers. It appeared that upon a certain day recently the plaintiff was on board the steamboat Alexandra, as a passenger to Gravesend, he having taken his family out for a lion lay. During the progress of the voyage plaintiff ob serve I on board one of the small river steamers a friend, who recognised him, an 1 plaintiff walked or, as it wag, went quickly to the side of the Alex andra to return the salute of that friend. Unfor tunately in so doing he struck his knee against the sharp part of the boat hook, which inflicted upon him a serious injury, and for which injury lie now sought to recover £lOO damages. Upon the part of the plaintiff it was urged that he was entitled to be in that portion of the steamboat in which he was when the accident occurred. For the defendants it was contended that the boat hook was in its usual place, and that plaintiff bad not taken proper care. Ills o thatrsh in summing up to the jury, ob served invited the public to lordship, the ip company become passengers on board its steamboat, and there was nothing out of the way in the plaintiff saluting a friend whom he might see on board another vessel. If the jury were of opinion that the plaintiff had contributed to the accident by his own negligence, then he could not recover ; but if he had taken due care, then he should have damages. 1131 121 13 b2i .1 401 1231 1 1191 lef 6 8 i 48 hood all his lifetime, and he had never been charged before, and it was not likely he would do such a thing as alleged. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. Catherine Steel, the mother of the former prisoner, was then charged with disorderly conduct. Sergeant Hunter, 25 C, said that last night the prisoner followed the police about while engaged with the prisoner Daniel Steel, and so interfered with them and annoyed them that they were pre vented taking the other man concerned, and ~he also threatened a witness in the case. The jury, after some consideration, awarded the plaintiff £25 damages. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined her five shillings or four days POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE WHILE UNDER THE INFLU ENCE OF DRINK.—Mary Taylor, a young woman, described as a servant, was charged with attempting to drown herself in the Serpentine, she being at the time under the influence of drink. She was remanded. ______,_ _____ GUILDHALL. SINGULAR CASE.—James Peacock was brought before Alderman Allen this morning charged under the following circumstances : It appeared that the prisoner delivered himself into the custody of a policeman last week, stating that he was a deserter from the Bth Hussars, that his furlough had expired, and that he had sold his regimentals. The commanding officer of the Bth Hussars had been communicated with, but it ap peared that nothing was known of the prisoner. The prisoner said that he had been induced to make the statement of his being a deserter while under the influence of intoxication, and that he had never been in the regular army. He was in the Bth Surrey Rifles, and he admitted that he had sold his uniform. The Magistrate dismissed the charge. The prisoner was also charged with stealing some articles from a furnished apartment at Shoreditch, where he had been lodging last week. From the evi dence of the landlady of the house it appeared that last Monday the prisoner Caine in the evening and burst into her room, where he slept for the night, and took away an Inkstand, a fender, and other articles, which he pledged. The Magistrate said that the case was out of his jurisdiction, and must be heard before the magis trate at Worship-street. BOROUGH HOP. The accounts from the hop districts are very favourable. Picking has commenced in many grounds, and notwith standing the trials to which the plant has been put the yield is pronounced to bo a fair one. Continental advices report the crops to be large and of excellent quality. T he market here is very dull, buyers not operating beyond their immediate requirements, and prices have declined 10s to 15s per cwt. We quote : Kid and East Kents 2oos to 220 s per cwt. Weald of Kent S ussex Farnham and country Yearlings l2os to 150 s Olds sss to 1005 „ LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKE7—This Day. Market quiet at yesterday's low rates, but rather better iuquiry. Sales probably 10,000 bales. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 29e. per 41 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 15s.10id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 104 per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

Among the passengers are the Hon. Mrs. Randall, of Washington, and party. FREAKS OF AN ELEPHANT.—The Circus of Messrs. Sanger, from the Agricultural Hall is exhibiting on the South Coast, and the performing ele phant connected with the collection has, boon giving food for gossip. At Chichester, after being fastened in the stable of a tavort for tho night, the animal opened the door, and so got into the yard. A fence and a bolted door thence separated it from the inn, but he put his trunk over the fence, drew the bolt, and passed through the door to the back of the tavern. Tho inn door was bolted inside, and opened outwards ; neverthe less the elephant managed to pull open the door, and so made his way to the tavern kitchen. Instinct led the strange burglar to the pantry, where he proceeded to help himself to a bag of bran ; and while eating this sot the surrounding crockery in motion. The landlord, thus aroused, rushed down in the moonlight, and was not at all comforted on ascertaining the character of his visitor. The keeper was at once summoned, and, after somo trouble, he got the animal out of the house again. At Brightoa the elephant was lodged in a stable on the outskirts of tho town. Just before starting thence for one of the performances a man, named Read, entered the yard with several other persons. The elephant put out his trunk, and Read dropped a halfpenny therein, the animal passing the coin on to his keeper ; Ito then pet out his trunk again. Road felt in his pockets for more money, the elephant meanwhile steadily watching him ; finding ho had only silver money in his pockets, Read put back the coins, and would give no more. Tho elephant immediately rushed at Read, and, getting the poor fellow against a wall, drove its tusk deep into his shoulder. Read was at once taken to the hospital, where he was found not to have sustained any serious internal injury, and he is now in a fair way of recovery. FINE WRITING.—The first prize thoroughbred at the recent agricultural show at Dublin has been thus de scribed in a newspaper :—" He was certainly in the upper story a complete combination of stamina, strength, and motive power, though from the knee downwards rather light-looking ; yet this was to a groat extent compensated for by his short shins and the large epiphyseal develop ment of his phalaugeal bones !"

The complainant stated that she was dwelling at No. 24, London-street, Ratcliff. The prisoner was her daughter's husband, and a very ill-tempered, savage man, who had beaten his wife on several oc casions, and inflicted injuries on other women.

He said he would have her life, and she fled for refuge to another room. lle went out and returned, and tantalised his wife, who wanted to go out with him again. Witness said be should not go out. He insisted upon going out, and re turned in 15 minutes, uttered a dreadful and blasphemOus oath, and said he would have the life of his wife, who had gone up stairs. The prisoner made an attempt to reach his wife. She prevented him doing so, upon which he took up a poker and broke up the furniture. She was endeavouring to save her things, and he struck her with a poker, and cut her eye. He followed this up by other blows, and dislocated her shoulders. Her grandson parried the blows as well as he could, and was illused. The prisoner got her down and trampled upon her. The prisoner said, "I'll do for you, if I can't have her life (meaning his wife), I will have yours." The lights were put out, and the prisoner said, "I have you now, and kicked and trampled upon her and her grandson. Richard Henry Kidney confirmed the evidence of his grandmother, and said, " the prisoner knocked me down and jumped upon Ine. I thought my inside was coming out."

Mr. Fowler complied with the request of the magistrate, and on his return said there were two or three bruises on her arm and a bruise on the back of the head, but nothing great and powerful fellow like the prisoner. to indicate that she had been trampled upon by a The prisoner, who treated the matter very lightly, partially admitted the assault on the old woman, and said he had been tried at the Middlesex Ses sions for assaulting his W if e, an d acqu itt e d because she told lies, and because he found another man in his bed. The Wife—Confine yourself to the truth. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar months, and to find bail to keep the peace for six months after the expiration of his sentence, himself in 150 and two sureties of £25 each.

UNPROVOKED ASSAULT ON A WOMAN.—Charles Adams, a man of colour, and Hannah, his wife, well known to the police, were charged with assaulting Mary Hawkins, the wife of a brewer, living at 3, Hendon-street, Pimlico. The prosecutrix said she was in the Two Brewers Publichouse in Stratton-ground, Westminster, at six on Tuesday evening, when she was accosted by the female prisoner, who asked her to buy pencils of her. She refused to buy, when prisoner insulted her, and then the male prisoner came and struck her and knocked her down. Mr. Robins, the landlord, said the prosecutrix waa rather the worse for drink, and was bothered for half an hour by the female prisoner. The prosecutrix said she did not want to buy pencils, and had no money for herself, whereupon the female prisoner used disgusting language to her, and the male prisoner came and seized her by the arm, dashing her on the ground in a most brutal manner. He called a constable, and the female struck her in the nose, causing it to bleed very much. . The prisoners both said that they were insulted first by the prosecutrix, who called them all sorts of bad names, and then the landlord struck her in the side of the head. This was all strongly denied, and it was admitted on all hands that the prosecutrix was intoxicated, although she was quite harmless. Mr. Self e said he was not going to have people insulted in this way by persons of the prisoner's description ; he should fine the woman 10s. or 7 days for the assault on the landlord, and discharged the man with a caution.

GUARANTEE OF GOVERNMENT OFFICES.—Among the recent Acts of Parliament was ono to provide for the guarantee of persons holding situations of trust under Go vernment by companies, societies, or associations. The object of the statute is that the guarantee of companies which comply with certain conditions should be accepted in lieu of sureties which are frequently required in the public service from persons holding officesor employments. After a clause defining the terms used, the Act provides that on certain conditions companies may become guarantee for per sons appointed to hold offices. The Treasury may issue re gulations and certify the companies which have complied with the conditions of the Aot. It is to be cited as " The Guarantee by Companies Act, 1867." 2.1.0 294 2.14.6 81 2.14.0 8.3.0 3.9.0 11.2.6 The Salford Hand Age st lb Salliet ... 5 10 0 Queen of Trumps a 9 9 Edinburgh 5 9 7 Oberon 6 811 Alice Lee 6 8 3 &gum ~. 4 7 12 Sylph ... 4 711 The Squire 4 7 9 Jezabel ... 4 7 9 Foamy ... 3 7 Dear Tom ... 3 G 13 The Grand Stand P.

It is entitled, " A return giving the date of the original contract and the price to be paid Mears. Mare and Co., under the terms of such contract, for her Majesty's ship Northumberland. Copy of correspondence showing the circumstances under which the contract was transferred from Messrs. Mare and Co., and subsequently taken by the Mill wall Company, and the additional price agreed to be paid to the Mill wall -Company before proceeding with the construction of the ship ; and return of all moneys paid for, or on account of the Northumberland' up to the present date, and the further sum (if any) ordered to be paid, or still owing, on account of such vessel." It appears that Mare and Co. applied in December, 1862, to have the contract transferred to the Millwall Com pany, and, at the request of the company, the Ad miralty, in April, 1863, agreed to a modification of the terms. They consented to raise the price from £44 12s. to £4B 103. per ton, the rate at which the Minotaur was being constructed, which would in crease the cost of the Northumberland to £321,117 instead of £295,295. In the return of moneys paid and owing it is stated that £436,151 has been paid on account of the ship, including her engines, leaving £5OO still owing. The return gives the in denture and the schedule as agreed between the Admiralty and the Millwall Company, and the same documents as between my lords and the liquidators, and altogether represents a condition of great vicissitude with regard to this ship. In this last agreement the terms were again altered with respect to the 13th, to the 17th, and final payment. In 1861, when the contract was made with Mare and Co., the ship was to have been completed within seven teen months; in the second contract, with the Mill wall Company, it was agreed " that the period should be extended to 16 calendar months from the date of these presents, and the period of 21 months from the said 2nd day of September, 1861, within which the said vessel was to be built and delivered to the said commissioners, shall be extended to 20 calendar months from the date of these presents." The sum of £5,000 agreed to be paid by the said Charles John Mare over and above the amount of any other sums which he might have made himself li able to pay in case of the failure on his part in the due execution of the said contract, shall not be demanded by the said commissioners, their suc cessors in office, or assigns ; but in lieu thereof, and in order to insure the due comple tion of the said contract and of this agreement, the following provisions shall be substituted ; that is to say, the payments were to be made in seven teen instalments at the stages of progress defined in the schedule ; but when the affair passed into the hands of the liquidators the schedules were altered, for it states that " the said liquidators and the 'com missioners have agreed to vary, in manner herein after appearing, the conditions of payment for the thirteenth and following instalments of the moneys payable under the said indenture. Now this indenture witnesseth, that it is hereby con tracted, agreed, and declared between, and by the company, by the liquidators aforesaid, and the commissioners, as follows, that is to say, that the thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, si x _ teentb, and final conditions of payment mentioned in the schedule to the within written indenture shall be cancelled, and that the conditions of pay ment mentioned in the schedule hereto shall be sub stituted for the conditions hereby agreed to be cancelled as aforesaid; that the within written indenture and every matter and thing therein con tained, except so far as the same is varied by these presents, shall be as binding on the parties thereto as the same would have been if these presents had not been made and executed." It is rather • amusing to find this last reference to the binding properties of the previous agreement, for in each case of stop page the Admiralty agreed to increase the money payment, and to lessen the quantity of completed works which was to be the basis of charge.—The Engineer. LOCK-OUT OF EDINBURGH TAILORS.—A partial lock-out of the operative tailors of Edinburgh took place yesterday. Fifty of the masters, employing nearly 600 men, have agreed to pay according to the present time statement. Eighteen masters, however, locked out 180 operatives because they would not agree to work under the proposed now and reduced tariff.
