Very little feature of interest has been developed in the Stock Exchange to-day, but there is a little depression owing to the extreme dullness of busi ness and the advancing prices in Mark Lane, English wheat being in considerable demand, for Which the harvest has proved very unsatisfactory. The money market presents no variation either as regards the extent of the inquiry or the terms upon 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. ;Bristol and Exeter ....

Gibbons and a jury yesterday afternoon, the case of Beveridge 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 holiday. During the progress of the voyage plaintiff ob served on board one of tho small river steamers a friend, who recognised him, and plaintiff walked or, as it wm, 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 :harp part of the boat hook, which inflicted upon him a serious injury, and for which injury he 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 'MIS when the accident occurred. For the defendants it was contended that the boat hook was in its usual place, and that plaintiff had not taken proper care. liin summing up to the jury, ob servedis lordsh ip, thattl company invited the public to 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. The jury, after some consideration, awarded the plaintiff 125 damages. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined her five shillings or four days. POLICE INTELLIGEACE.—This Day. 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 came in the evening and burst into her room, where he slept for the night, and took away au 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. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE WHILE UNDER THE INFLU ENCE OF DIUNK. —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. 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 she also threatened a witLe3s in the case. 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 be a fair one. Continental adviees report the crops to be large and of excellent quality. Th e market here is very dull, buyers not operating beyond their immediate requirements, and prices have docliaed 108 to 15s per cwt. We quote : Mid and East Kents 2oos to 220 s per cwt. Weald of Kent Sussex Farnham and country Yearlings l2os to 150 s Olds sss to 1003 LIVERPOOL COTTON II Day• Market quiet at yesterday's low rates, but rather better inquiry. 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. 20c. per XI sterling. On cOnsparing these rates with the English Mint price of • l'is.lold. per ounce for standard gold, it appeArs that gold is about 1-10111 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. The couree of exchange at New York on London for bills at 00 days' sight is about 10n 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, been giving food for gossip. At Chichester, after being fastened in the stable of a tavern for the 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. The inn door was bolted inside, and opened outwards; neverthe less tho 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 ho prcceeded to help himself to a bag of bran ; and while eating this set 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 some *trouble, he got the animal out of the house again. At Tirighton the elephant was lodged in a stable on the fiutskirts of the 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, ',lie animal passing the coin on to his keeper ; he tb.en. put out his trunk again. Read felt in his pocixots for more money, the elephant meanwhile steadily watching him ; finding he had only silver money in his pockets, Read put back the coins, and would. give no more. The elephant immediately rushed at, Road, and, getting the poor fellow against a wall, drove its tusk deep into his shoulder. Read was at once taken 4 ,,0 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 neiwspaper :—" He was certainly in the upper story a comp'.ete combination of stamina, strength, and motive power, though from the knee downwards rather light-lookin g ; yet this was to a great extent compensated for by his abort shins and the largo epiphyseal develop ment of fli t s phalangeal bones !" 111 113 83 85 08 120 87 89 31 32 104 106 62 61 90 98 33i 84j, 81 9OP, 113 116 t lir 6: 61 109 112 55 67 43 t 5 68 6J 9 10 140 146 2 3 THAMES. FEROCIOUS ASSAULT ON A WOMAN.--Henry Pitt, a very tall, strong, and powerfully-built fellow, about 35 years of age, and described as a labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting and wounding Charlotte Cusack, an elderly and infirm woman, whose left arm was bandaged and in a sling. _ 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 came home on Monday night and last night intoxi cated, and was quarrelling with his wife. He said he would have her life, and she fled for refuge to another room. He went out and returned, and tantalised his wife, who wanted to go out with him again. Witness said he 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 me. I thought my inside was coming out." Mr. William Fowler, physician and surgeon, of High-street, Sh a d we ll, sa id h o was called last 7 night to redu ce a di s l ocat i on on the com plainant'sNuclils, shoulder. There was a black mark across her arm and a contused wound over her left eye. Mr. Paget—Take the old woman into the gaoler's room and examine her agai n . 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 to indicate that she had like the prisoner. been trampled upon by a grea t an d p ower f u l fellow The prisoner, who treated the matter very lightly, partially admitted the assault on the old woman, and said ho had been tried at the Middlesex Ses sions for assaulting his wife, and acquitted 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 £5O and two sureties of £25 eaoh. MARLBOROUGH-STRE ET. A DANGEROUS DRlVER.—William Stubbs, a cab driver, badge 1,049, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with being drunk, and furiously driving. Police-constable b 102 C, said th a t l as t n ight he saw the c driving his cab u p an d d own Duke-street, St. James's, at the rat e o f 15 t o 20 lice- o u prisoner s t le i e ech miles an hour, the horse galloping as fast as it could. He went after the priso ner, an d at l ast succeeded in coming up with him, and requested him to get off his cab, and on his doing so he found that he was drunk. He then took him to the station. The prisoner admitted ho had done wrong. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined him 10s. or seven days. ARTFUL ROBBERY.--TIIREATENIN G A WITNESS. Daniel Steel, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing three sixpences, the moneys of Mr. E. J. Frinn, printer, of King-street, Regent place. George Swift, a lad, apprentice to Mr. Frinn, said that yesterday he went out to get change for a sovereign for his master, and while returning with the change in his hand, some one, by accident, knocked against his arm, and knocked the money out of his hand. The prisoner picked up four six pences, and gave him one, letting the others drop up his sleeve, and ho afterwards handed them to a companion. The prisoner said he only picked up one sixpence, and that he gave to the lad. Thomas Brown, a young man, residing at No. 7, Nassau•street, Middlesex Hospital, proved seeing the prisoner pick up four sixpences, and let three of them go up his coat sleeve, and only hand the lad one sixpence, and while the lad had gone for a constable the prisoner let three sixpences drop down his sleeve, and after putting them into his waistcoat pocket he gave them to a companion. Sergeant Hunter, 25 C, said a gentleman also saw the prisoner pick up the sixpences, and he signed the charge sheet, but he was not in attendance, but Iwould attend if required. The prisoner said he had lived in the neighbour- WESTMINSTER, UNPROVOKED ASSAULT ON A WOMAN.—Charles Adams, a man of colour, and Hannah, Ibis 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. ➢lr. Robins, the landlord, said the prosecutrix was 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 bad 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. Selfe 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 OFFICEI.C 7 :AMOIIg the recent Acts of Parliament was one 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 inthe public service from persons holding offices or 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 Act.

It is entitled, " A return giving the date of the original contract and the price to be paid Messrs. 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 Millwall 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 10s. 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, six teenth, 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 came would have been if these presents had not been made and executed." It is rather amusing to find this last reference to the binding oroperties 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 EDINBURGII 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 master; however, locked out 180 operatives because they would not agree to work under the proposed new and reduced tariff. Each man will receive upwards of 12s. a week from the amalgamated fund during the continuance of the lock-out. The operatives have already commenced working on the co-operative principle, both money and material being supplied by the Nationhl Executive.—,Scotsman. THIRD EffiTiON. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK.

TIIE AMERICAN TUBE WELL.—On Friday week a number of gentlemen assembled upon the cricket-ground of the Manchester Club, Old Trafford, to witness the sink ing of a well upon a system just introduced into this coun try, of which Mr. Norton, of Blackfriars-street, is local agent. Water was reached in five minutes from th 3 com mencement of operations, and in 22 minutes a depth of 10ft. had been reached ; the pump had been fitted to the top of the well, and a flow of water was obtained. The well consists of au iron pipe liin. in diameter, about 12ft. long, pointed at one end, tad perforated with holes about 16in. up the pipe from the pointed extremity. A movable iron clamp is fitted round the pipe, and, upoa the principle of pile driving, a 561 b. hollow weight is raised and allowed to drop upon the clamp ; thus the pipe is driven into the ground. Earth, sand, &c., first enter the pipe through the holes, and, when these are pumped out, the theory is that pebbles rest against the pipe and form a natural filter. Such a well is free from the liability common to others of receiving surface drainage, and the water obtained from it is always cold and fresh. No dirt is made in sinking the well, no accident is possible from foul air or from the falling in of the sides ; and, besides the rapidity with which the well is made, its cheapness, about £5 fur the completion of a well loft. deep, is another great recommendation. A farmer might have such a well in almost every field. When r ock is reached in well sinking of this description the operation is more costly than we have named if it becomes necessary to bore the rock. One of these wells, to the depth of loft., has been suck in the Botanical-gardens. The work was done Inan hour, and an excellent supply of water obtained. The in ventor accompanied the Northern army in the late Ameri can procuring for the soldiers He has sunk many wells in an ea u n fai ling ar, water was t supply p means ply . of the United States, and ono at Ithaca, New York, is said to be 120 ft. deep.— Manchester Guardian.
