TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no change of importance to record in t he general discount market. The supplies of bills on offer are restricted, and the capital in the hands of the brokers and others abundant, the rates ruling at from 11 to 11 per cent. for short dated paper. The sum of £4,000 was taken to the Bank of England yesterday in gold. The New York from New York has brought about in specie and £3,000 for Bremen. The linbboldt from Rio Janeiro brings only £1,500. The Custom-house and Navigation laws to be observed on t h e Ri ver A mazon , it s affluents, and t he river San Francisco, were published on the 3 1st of July last, at Rio de Janeiro, and contain Ile less than 145 paragraphs, all of which are more , O r less i r k some t o f ree t ra d e .

Durant and Co. state as follows :—" We have to report another month of extreme quiet in silk. The fourth steamer with new silk has arrived, and still no still upon any than the smallest poss ible scale— il apparently the same determined limitation of purchase to the absolute requirements of t he da y . The prices of China and Japan silk show an unusual uargi n in comparison with European silk, but even this fails to induce business.

He had been remanded several times, in order to afford him an opportunity of recovering from the effects of injuries which he inflicted in attempting to commit suicide. Ile Was yesterday committed for trial. A trader debtor summons came before the Court this morning, in which the defendant Owen Swift, of the Black Horse, Oxenden-street, Haymarket, was called upon to answer a claim of £lOO, which he was alleged to have received as stake holder in certain betting transactions. It appears that a Mr. Bennett made a bet with a Mr. Percival of £530 upon the merits of no less than 200 horses. Some dispute arose after the payment of a portion of the money; and although an action is now pending in the superior court the present proceedings were taken. After hearing the arguments, the registrar dismissed the summons. Our reporter was informed that these cases are very common in this court, and there is nothing un usual in taking out a trader debtor's summons against a defendant, even when an action is pending and remains undecided. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. -.—__ BOW-STREEI. AGGRAVATED CASE OF CRUELTY.—COMMITTAL OF A TRADESMAN WITHOUT A FlNE.—William Robinson, pork butcher, in an extensive way of business at 3, Wellington -place, Vauxhall-cross, appeared to answer the complaint of the Secretary of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for having caused or procured a horse to be tortured. Mr. Lowe prosecuted, and stated that this was a case of peculiar aggravation. The defendant, it appeared, had sent his son with this horse and a cart to fetch potatoes from Covent-garden market, and the poor animal was seen struggling along by St. Martin's church in a state utterly unfit for any kind of work. Upon the complaint being laid, he assured one of the officers of the society that he had sold the horse to be killed. It appeared, how ever, that at and after the time when he made that statement the horse was at work, turning a sausage mill at the back of his premises. Defendant made a long rambling speech, in which he repeatedly declared that all his neighbours, as well as the police on the rank at Vauxhall and in the vicinity of the market, saw the horse every day, and would have noticed before now if the horse was in a really bad state. He had never known the horse to be lame before. He was sorry he had " told stories " to the constable. Mr. Vaughan had been very anxious to hear all the defendant had to say, but it all tended to the same result. It was clear, especially from the evi dence of defendant's own witness, the farrier, that he had 13,!en guilty of very great cruelty. It would be a perfect mockery of justice if he were to impose a fine upon a man like the defendant, who would be perfectly insensible to a pecuniary penalty. He should sentence the defendant to be imprisoned with hard labour for one month. full from the grocer's board, put it in his pockets, and sneaked out of the shop. The boy informed the shopman, who ran after the prisoner, overtook him, and gave him into custody. The boy finished by pointing to the prisoner, and muttering very indistinctly, " Mum, mum, mum."' The Father—" Dad, dad, dad." The boy shook his head negatively, and again muttered, " Mum, mum, mum." Mr. Paget questioned the boy's father, who said his son had not received any education secular or religious. lie had never sent him to a deaf and dumb school or asylum. Mr. Paget—Do you attend any church or chapel or any place of religious worship ? Jems—No, sir ; but have as much heart in religion as those who do. Mr. Paget said it was a matter of perfect indif ference to him as to what sect his father belonged, but he wished to know what kind of intelligence the boy had, and whether he had any, idea of responsi bility to God. The boy was very quick and intelli gent, but was totally ignorant of the moral obliga- tions of an oath. Ile could not take the evidence of the boy or bail him over to appear at the sessions, but the father had better take him to the court and tender his evidence to the judge upon the trial. William Freeston, a police-sergeant, No. 58 K, said that he took the prisoner into custody, and found the tea upon him. The prisoner said that " he could not tell what the deuce made him take the tea." The prisoner admitted his guilt. He wished the case to be settled at once. Mr. Paget said ho would not decide the case sum marily, and committed the prisoner for trial. Th 3 Champion Swimmer of England. Some years ago a valuable silver cup was subscribed for, thanks to the exertions of the London Swimming Club, and offered as a trophy for the swimming champion ship of England. The first contest was an open one, the distance being two miles, on the Thames, from Hammer smith to Putney, and the winner Mr. E. B. Mather, the young athlete from Manchester. Three years was the stipulated time the cup had to be held against all chal lengers before it became the property of the holder. Ac cordingly Mr. Mather soon received a challenge from Richard Gardiner, one of the most skilful of the metropo litan swimmers. The Londoner was vanquished, after an exceedingly tough swim, every yard of which was most gamely contested. In the next race Mather had for his antagonist an experienced ex-cham pion, Professor Beckwith, who may be said to have culti vated swimming into a fine art, such a mastery over the water has he achieved. Now Mather found his master. The young man of four-and twenty, strong as a lion, had to yield to the superior prowess of the veteran of forty. Beckwith once more became the chamion swimmer of Eng land. In the following year, however, 1861, Mather, who had gone through a careful course of training, challenged Beckwith, and in his turn worsted him, and again had the honour of holding the Champion's Cup. Falling ill in the summer of the same year he resigned the championship, and another open contest was fixed for the trophy. Sep tember 5 was the date of the race, which was won by Henry Gurr, then a lad of seventeen only; his name as a swimmer had already spread far and near, from his pecu liar style of simming on the side, and which has earnedfor him the soubriquet of the "flying fish," coupled with his indomitable energy and increasing activity, making him invincible thus early, and marking him as the champion swimmer. Since that victory in 1864, Henry Garr has thrown out challenge after challenge; he has travelled throughout England and Scotland, but he has remained without an equal to the present day, and as the three years of probation has now expired, the two miles champion swimming cup has become his own. The prize was presented to him last Monday night by Mr. William T. Payton, president of the London Swimming Club, at an aquatic:fete given in his honour at the Wenlock Swimming Bath, City-road. An apt speech was made by Mr. Pay ton, who bade the little champion God spec(' on his voyage to the United States, en route for which ho leaves London this day (Tuesday). THE STOCKWELL ORPHANAGE. LAYING TIIE FOUNDATION STONES. Yesterday afternoon some thousands of persons assembled upon the ground opposite Dudley-place, Stockwell, for the purpose of witnessing the laying the foundation stones of the three first houses of the Stockwell Orphanage for Boys, of which the Rev. C. 11. Spurgeon is president. The entrance to the ground was decorated with festoons of flowers and flags of all nations. The ground itself was a scene of the greatest animation. On the south side was constructed a tent 339 feet long, where tea was subsequently supplied. This tent was supported in front by 21 tall tricoloured poles, decorated with numberless bannerets and flags of all colours, and representing all nations. On the eastern side is a large wooden erection, 100 feet long and 50 feet wide, which will be used as a playground for the boys, and in front a large tent of about the same dimensions. These were used for the purposes of the evening meeting. The general decorations were by Mr. Dillon, and the floral decorations by Messrs. Fowle and Son, of Holland Nursery, Brixton-road. The ceremony commenced at half - past three, when The Rev. C. H. SPURGEON mounted upon the stone of the first house nearest the road, and ex plained very briefly the circumstances which had led them to proceed in the present work. A kind Christian lady had asked him to take charge of £20,000 for the purpose of founding an orphanage. After much consideration he determined to accept the office, knowing that he had many friends around him who would assist. The money given by the lady was not realisable at p resent, on l y t h e i nterest was obtainable, and theref ore it was d eterm i ne d to sink the principal as an endowment fund. They had proceeded well, and were now about to lay the first stones of three houses. The first would be called " Silver Wedding House," the funds having been supplied by a lady who, after living most happily with her husband for 25 years, was presented by her loving lord with a cheque for £soo,which she determined to hand over for this object. The second house would be called "Merchant's House," the cost of erection being defrayed by a City merchant. The third house would be called " Workmen's House," the cost being defrayed by Mr. Higgs and his workmen. Others would be built in course of time. The next one would be called " Unity House," for the erection of which, the sons of their senior deacon, Mr. Thomas Gluey, had found the money in memory of their departed mother. The first stone of " Silver Wedding House " was then laid by the Rev. C. 11. Spurgeon, a silver trowel hating been presented to him for that pur pose by Mr. Thomas Olney, jun. The stone of the " Merchant's House " was laid . by the munificent donor of the £2o,ooo—Mrs. Hillyard, a silver trowel having been presented to her for that purpose by the Rev. Jas. Spurgeon, father of the Rev. C. 11. Spurgeon. The stone of the " Workmen's House " was laid by Mr. Higgs, one of the deacons of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, for which purpose he re ceived a trowel from the hand of the Rev. Jas. Spurgeon, jun. Cheers rent the air as each stone was laid, and this part of the proceedings closed with the singing of the " Doxology."

ILLEGAL PLEDGING. — John Tow, described as a messenger, and who stated that he was a German, unacquanted with English, was charged before Sir Robert Carden, sitting for the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, with having obtained possession, by false pretences, of a desk and two rugs, the pro perty of Mr. Willement, a paint and colour mer chant, carrying on business at 7, Bury-court, St. Mary-axe. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Beard, the solicitor who represented the prose cutor, that Mr. Willement occupied offices at No. 7, Bury-court, in conjunction with a Mr. Lewinstein. The prisoner was employed in running messages, &c., by the latter gentleman, and was well known to a boy named Hughes who was in the service of Mr. Willement. On Saturday prisoner, who, it was alleged, understcod and spoke English very well, came to the office and asked Hughes to give him the desk, and stated that Mr. Lewinstein had sent him for it. The boy gave it to him, and afterwards told his master, who then said it was his property, and questioned Mr. Lewinstein about the transaction. That gentleman denied ever having given him any such instructions, and immediately took steps to find the prisoner. lie, however, called at the office of Mr. Willement, saw him, and said to him, " How about that desk ?" Prisoner answered, " I have nothing to do with you." He sub sequently prevaricated very much, and was given into custody and taken to the Bishopsgate-street station. On his being searched two pawn-tickets were found on him, which proved to be for the rugs. The police-constable who took him into custody went to his residence, and found there 119 tickets for almost every variety of articles. These statements having been corroborated by the parties, the prisoner, who still pretended that he could not speak English, although his asseverations were couched exceed i ngl y good English, was com mitted f ortrial.During the examination a woman, supposed to be the prisoner's wife, was taken with hysterics, and for a brief space created quite a sen sation in the court. MARL BOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH POVERTY.--John Everett, an elderly man, said to have formerly been in respectable circumstances, charged with attempt ing to commit suicide by throwing himself into the Serpentine, was again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt. Sergeant Cowdy, of the park constables, having informed Mr. Tyrwhitt that Mr. Rogers, the re lieving officer of St. George's, Hanover-square, would, if the prisoner was sent to the workhouse, take charge of him, with the view of passing him to his native 'place, Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the prisoner to be taken to the workhouse. WESTMINSTER. AN ARTFUL DODGER.—William George Ellison, described as a servant, giving the address, Rotting dean, Sussex, was charged with being found in No. 11, Chapel-street, Belgrave-square, supposed with the intention of committing a felony. It appeared that in November last the prisoner called on Miss Rosa Darby, of 9, Chapel-street, and took apartments for his "young master," making such arrangements that Miss Darby was foolish e nough to give him 4s. f or th e g ood lodger he had got her. The " young master," however, never turned up, and Miss Darby lost her lodger and 4s. Yesterday morning Miss Darby was at her mother's house, 11, Chapel-street, and the prisoner came to inqui reran emDerby's apartments, and made a the afternoon. He g about ents t A n Irs call . in accord ingly called, and A police - sergeant, Squire White, r 11 B, was there to recognise him. The prisoner was then questioned as to his whereabouts, and stated that he was the servant to the son of the Rev. Mr. Thurgood, of Rottingdean. He made several con fused statements, and was taken into custody. Prisoner contended that his not having taken anything failed to constitute a charge of being there for an unlawful purpose. He failed to give an ac count of his master. Mr. Arnold remanded hire for a week, and said he would take bail in £2O for his appearance. Ike was locked up in default. TIiAiIIES. THE DEAF AND DUMB WITNESS. - - William Gunn, aged 50, of 47, Cornwall-street, St. George in-the-East, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing I.lb. 4oz. of tea, value Ss. 4d., the property of John James, grocer, of No. 227, High street, Shadwell. John Moss, shopman to the prosecutor, said his attention was called to the prisoner, who had been n the shop, and he went after him and stopped him, ;and found a pound and a half of tea in his coat pocket. It was similar to the tea in the window. He missed some from the stock on the window board. A boy 12 years of age was put forward by his father, Joseph Jems, as a witness. The man said his son was deaf and dumb, and could only indis tinctly repeat " Mum, mum, mum," and " Dad, The boy came to him, an d made some dad, motions d " i n dicating that he had seen a man putting tea in his pocket. lie said to the boy, " Dad, dad, FOREIGN OFFICE, Sinn. 10.

DUBLIN, Sept. 9. The High Sheriff of the county of Galway has filed Thursday next for holding the election of a representative in the place of the late Lord Dun kellin. No opposition will be offered to the return of Lord Canning Burke. A gratifying proof of the estimation in which the deceased nobleman was held was presented on Saturday last, when a movement, headed by the High Sheriff, was commenced with the object of erecting a monument to perpetuate his memory. A public meetieg will be held on Thurs day next in furtherance of the object. Much uneasiness prevails with respect to the har vest. Heavy showers, which fell at intervals during the last week, retarded the work of cutting and gathering it in, and as the season advances, when the weather usually becomes more unsettled, the apprehensions of the farmer increase. Fortunately high winds, with intervals of sunshine, have repaired most of the injury inflicted by the rain, but if this week be not more settled than last serious loss will be incurred. In the county Down, there is a large breadth of grain ready for the sickle. In Galway comparatively little corn has been cut, although the reaping machine and the scythe h we been iu active requisition whenever opportunity offered. The potato crop is still reported to be safe in that part of the coast, which is a matter of considerable import ance. In Westmeath the rain has been very inju rious. In parts of Kerry and West Cork the hay has not yet been cut, and the other crops must suffer considerably if the weather continues unfa vourable. But it is satisfactory to learn that there too the potato crop is sound. The absence of com plaints from several counties is a hopeful circum stance, as the farmers do not wince in silence if the storm lashes them severely. A further evidence of the growing importance of Dublin as a commercial port is afforded in the fact that a second line of steamers has now been esta blished to trade directly with the continent. It is not long since a fortnightly service was com menced, and the success of the experiment has induced some influential merchants to extend the facilities for communication by another line of ves sels. The imports of cattle and wine form a consi derable portion of the regular traffic. The general increase of shipping at the quays contrasts strik ingly with former years. In Cork also a new steam line to France has been opened. Another party of Orangemen, numbering 13, were summoned before the petty sessions bench at Newtownards, on Saturday, for a breach of the law on the 13th of July last. The magistrates were the Rev. Joseph Bradshaw, chairman. Mr. Eglinton, R.M., and Mr. Jas. Brownlow, J.P. Mr. Magee attended to prosecute, and Mr. Kirbey, barrister, and Mr. M'Lean, solicitor, appeared for the defence. The evidence was similar to that given in previous cases, the accused being identified as members of the procession, drumming, fifing, carrying banners, or wearing Orange emblems, and the result was that informations were taken against all the defendants and the cases returned for trial at the next assizes. A check has been given to the fraudulent sale of butter in the Clonmel market, which it is hoped will have a salutary effect in other places. On Fri day a dealer named Richard Ryan was charged in the borough court with making up two firkins dis honestly and selling them to Mr. Maurice Hayes, a butter merchant. On opening the firkin 31b or 41b of salt were found on the bottom of each. The do feudaut was fined 30s. and 18s. costs. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. STOURBRIDGE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at Stourbridge—Mr. Akroyd in the chair. The report stated that the lino was opened on lst April. It joined the Great Western and London and North Western Railways, affording passeng ers the opportunity of going either to Snow-hill or to New-street station, Birmingham. Although the lino was not completed in accordance with the provisions of the agreement with the Great Western Company of the Ist of June, 1866, it was deemed advisable no longer to defer opening the railway, and it was therefore worked under the head of a provisional agreement, mainly founded on the original agree ment of 1863, which provides for a net payment of 50 per cent. of the gross receipts to the Stourbridge Extension Company, with a rebate on traffic from and to the West Midland section. The directors re commended a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum for the past six months on the Stourbridge Railway, and at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on the extension railway for the three months dur ing which the line had been opened for traffic. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the ' report, said he thought lie might say, without fear of contradiction, that the works, so far as they were c hpolteteerd,racioluwlady.not be exceeded by the wor ks u p on any Chairman, C. rff M.P., passed by mr.

The appearance of M. Wieniawski, the celebrated violinist, at the Covent Garden Concerts on Mon day evening, caused, as was expected, a complete furore. Of all others, he is the violinist of the present day most calculated to arouse the enthu siasm of a mixed audience, for, in addition to his acknowledged qualifications as a performer of classical music, he has devoted his life to the study of those eccentricities and marvellous tours de force which bewilder for the time being even those who are most versed in the resources of the instrument, and best know the seeming impossibilities that can be accomplished by four fingers. It is almost certain that Herr Joachim, to whom M. Wieniawski may be said to approach more nearly, though at a great distance, than any other performer, would not be equally successful at Covent Garden; for he never condescends, although eminently possess ing the ability to the school, the exposition of which is now nightly greeted with uproarious applause. M. Wieniawski is a splendid violinist, but he is also a sensational performer, and this is a feature not to be overlooked at promenade concerts. The general public is a very capricious child, who chiefly delights in acrobatic amusement, and falls down and adores anything like musical agility. We remember hew it howled with delight, when Mdlle. Carlotta Patti whistled out of tune at Mr. Mellon's concerts. It looks upon Beethoven's Pastoral symphony as an unmitigated bore, and until Johann Strauss taught it better taste, would have greatly preferred Mr. Coote's " Mina," or Mr. Godfrey's "Belgravia" waltz. It is a redeem ing point in the child's character that in an inferior order of composition it appreciates the delicious dance music of the German composer, and leads one to hope that it may acquire a taste for more solid food. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Mrs. Scott Siddons, whose impersonation of Rosalind in 4 , As You Like it," was the talk of the town some months back, has this week reappeared at the Haymarket in the same character. On her first appearance we pronounced her, all things con sidered, to be a very clever actress, and a most welcome acquisition to the London stage. That she had many faults was only to be expected of a young and inexperienced debutante. Of these the most evident were an occasional tendency to over act and a general want of repose. She conveyed the impression of being too eager to do everything well, and this consequently engendered a degree of restlessness. Such faults, however, are on the right side, and it is always an easier and more grateful task to repress enthusiasm than to attempt to supply talent. Apart from this, her Rosalind is a true, graceful, and vigorous impersonation. Its greatest charm is its wonderful freshness. Mrs. Scott Siddons never condescends to stage tricks, or what may be styled artistic cant. Her greatest points are the resultsof natural instinct and genuine feeling. She has greatly improved since her former appearance, and displays much more self-posses sion. She is remarkably handsome, has a beautiful figure, and a soft pleasing voice ; and her gestures are expressive and graceful. Her motion to kiss in the first act, is pretty beyond description. Her hands, ller first interview with Orlando, and before her reluctant exit, completely realizes i l z in es gein Srhagkespeare's ideal. Again, at the end of the fourth act, when Oliver tells her of Orlando's encounter with the lioness, she reels for a moment, and staggers a few paces, instead of taking refuge in the received stage resource for difficult situa tions, a swooning fit. This scene is a masterpiece of acting. Whether Mrs. Scott-Siddons will be as effective in tragedy yet remains to be seen. We are inclined to think that her Juliet will equally surprise and please. Certain it is, that as Rosalind, she has not been approached by any actress within the last twenty years. Mr. Compton's Touchstone is an original and masterly conception, and is the most prominent feature in the play after Rosalind. The remaining characters are fairly sustained. The singing admits of considerable improvement. MARKETEL—This day. HAY. SMITHTIELD—Meadow hay, £2 158 Od to £ 4 58 ; error, £3 Os to £5 15s Od ; and straw, £1 16s to £2 2s per load. Trade quiet.

This threatened to cause some delay in the preparation of the ships, but the owners have offered terms sufficiently liberal to command the complements required, and a difficulty has thereby been avoided. PLO GRIN G M ATCHES. —The first ploughing match of the season came off at Bicester, in Oxfordshire, last week. Tho champion prize was won by a local man, H.
