MONEY NARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENOX, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Gold from Australia and America, as well as silver from the West Indies, continues to flow to this country, and in large quantities. The export de mands are comparatively small, and hence there is an accumulation of the precious metals at the Bank of England. This is au important feature in con nection with the Money Market, which, in the ab sence of active trade, demands continue quiet, and without any particular alterations. The official returns relating to trade and naviga tion for the seven months, ended 31st July, have just been published, from which it appears that the total declared value of the exports from the United Kingdom for that period was £103,175,914, against £107,815,664 in the corresponding period of 1 866, and also showing a decrease of £4,639,750. The decrease is most perceptible in beer and ale, cotton manufactures, haberdashery and millinery, hardware and cutlery, linsey manufactures, iron an d unwrought s t ee l , s ilk manufactures, sheep and lambs' wool, and woollen and worsted manufac tures. The importations of the principal articles have been larger as regards quicksilver, rice, Pepper, sheep and lambs' wool, cocoa, coffee, corn, rum, and unrefined sugar, but smaller in raw cotton, hemp, hides, provisions, tallow, tim ber, Indian corn, brandy, tea, tobacco, and wine. The b; 8 -4 Ting accounts exhibit a decrease in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom for both the entries inwards and the clearances outwards, and in the coasting trade a similar result is also perceptible. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben tures are steady at 23/ 241 ; but the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds have declined to 201 211. The sum of £B,OOO was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The Maid of Judah has arrived from Sydney with gold representing £61,168. The following has been received respecting the New Granada debt:—" Messrs. Baring and Co. have received a remittance on account of New Granada Dividends of £376 10s. from the Custom Rouse at Carthagena, and the agent there states that the Government of Colombia has expressed officially to her Majesty's Minister at Bogota, i ts extreme disapproval of the conduct of Pre sident Cucaza in misappropriating the bond holders' money. The total amount of duties at Santa Martha belonging to the bondholders for the Month of July was but $5927.15, owing to the great falling off in importations —a natural conse quence of the revolution. Of that amount the agent had received only $8751.60, which he could not remit by this mail, as there was not a bill of exchange to be had. A formal protest has been enclosed against the with holding of the payments due to the bondholders at Santa Martha, and the total amount unpaid is stated at 34,189.85 k.

Daring the whole of last night, until an advanced hour, this (Wednesday) morning, the firemen of the Metropolitan Brigade were actively engaged in attending and extinguishing fires, of which the fol lowing are the particulars : FINSBURY.—One fire took place on the premises of Messrs. Spicers, Marcus, and Co., manufacturers of fancy leather goods, &c., No. 9, Eldon-street, Finsbury. It commenced from some unknown cause in one of the private houses, and in the course of a few minutes the whole place presented a large sheet of flame. Numerous land steam engines, by Shand, Mason, and Co., had arrived, and plenty of water having been procured the firemen went to work but the flames could not be conquered until the building in which the fire began was burned out, and Nos. 7,8, and 10 severely damaged by fire, water, &c. The loss will fall upon the West minster, Royal, and Royal Exchange Fire-offices. ISLINGTON.—A very destructive fire, which for a time lighted up the whole of the northern portions of the metropolis, happened in the premises belong ing to Mr. J. Bell, picture-frame manufacturer, which, in spite of the early arrival of the engines, destroyed the workshops 60 feet long by 34 feet broad, and severely injured several of the adjoin.. ing premises. Insurance not known. CAMBERWELL.—A fire, which it is supposed wa s the work of some vile incendiary, took place in some unfinished houses belonging to Mr. W. Eloden, Lavender Hill, Wandsworth-road, which resulted in the destruction of two ten-roomed houses, and damage to those adjoining. HACKNEY.—Another took place in the premises of Mr. A. Marks, a hatter, No. 169, Goldsmiths'- row, Hackney, which destroyed the warehouse and contents. SPEECIIES OF 711 E EMPEROR NAPOLEON AT ARRAS AND LILLE. The Moniteur of yesterday announces that the Emperor and Empress left Paris on Monday morn ing by the Northern Railway to be present at the fetes in Lille, commemorative of the union of Flan ders with France. On the way the Imperial party stopped at Arras for a couple of hours. " Numerous deputations from the most distant parts of the de partment," says the Moniteur, "had assembled in order to salute their Majesties. During this short visit their reception was most enthusiastic and hearty." The Mayor of Arras presented the keys of the city to the Emperor, and delivered an address, to which his Majesty made the following reply : " Monsieur le Maire,—lt is with pleasure I find myself among you after such a long period, and I have seized with avidity the occasion of a national fete to come and learn your desires, and to assure you that my solicitude for all the interests of the country shall never fail you. You aro right to feel confidence in the future ; it is only feeble govern ments which seek in foreign complications a diver sion from home embarrassments. But when force is derived from the mass of the nation we have only to do our duty to satisfy the permanent interests of the country, and while holding aloft the national ban ner, to guard ourselves from being led away by ill-timed impulses, however patriotic they may be. I thank you for the sentiments you have expressed towards the Empress and my son. Rest assured that they share my devotion for France, and that their greatest happiness would be to put an end to all misery, and to alleviate all misfortune." The Emperor and Empress arrived at Lille at half-past four. " Notwithstanding a drenching rain," says the Moniteur," the gaily-decked win dows from the station to the prefecture were all tilled with ladies waving their handkerchiefs. More than 500,000 persons lined the route traversed by the august visitors, and cheered them with an enthusiasm which has never been surpassed. An by ad the es was afterwards presented to the Emperor mayor. ARIS Aug. 27 (Evening). The followi ng is the P text , of the reply made yes terday by the Emperor Napoleon to the address presented to his Majesty by the Mayor of Lille:— " When, some years ago, I came for the first time to visit the department of the Nord, everything smiled upon my wish es . I had just espoused the Empress, and I may say I had also just wedded France before eight millions of witnesses. Order was restored, political passions were lulled to rest, and I foresaw for the country a new era of greatness and prosperity. At home the union existing among all good citizens presaged the peaceful dawn of liberty ; abroad I saw our glorious flag pro tecting every cause of civilising justice. During the last fourteen years many of my hopes have been realised, and great progress has been accomplished. Dark spots, however, have darkened our horizon. But even as good fortune has not dazzled me, so transient reverses will not discourage me. how should I be discouraged when I see from one end of France to the other the people greeting the Empress and myself with acclamations, in which are unceas ingly associated the name of our son ? To-day I do not come here only to celebrate a glorious anniversary in the capital of ancient Flanders, I also come to learn your wants, to heighten the courage of some, to confirm the confidence of all, and to endeavour to increase the prosperity of this great department, by still further developing its agriculture, manufactures, and commerce. You will aid me, gentlemen, in this noble task ; but you will not forget that the first condition of the pros perity of a nation like ours is to possess the con sciousness of its own strength, and not allow itself to be depressed by imaginary fears, but to rely upon the wisdom and patriotism of the Government. The Empress, touched by the sentiments which you ex prom, unites with me in thanking you for your warm and sympathetic welcome." LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKEI—TMs Day. Cotton opens dull and drooping; prices irregular. Sales probably 8,000 bales. THE POTATO DISEASE.—In North and East York shire both growers and dealers report the potato disease to have appeared very generally this season, attributed to the prevalence of continued wet weather and a low tem perature. The most faulty crops are upon the strong clay lauds, which are most retentive of moisture, and the early sorts. of potatoes are stated to have suffered most, and in many cases to have gone bad after being taken up. It is hoped the present hot and dry weather will oheck the disease. THE SUN, LONDOY, WEDNESDAY EV EN SHARE LlST—This Day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Share, Railways, I Paidl Closing I Business done.

SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler.) COMPOSITION DEEDS AND PRIVATE ARRANGEMENTS, FREEMAN Y. BUTCHER. This was an action to recover the balance of an account for clothes, Mr. Buchanan appearing for the plaintiff, and Mr. Plews for defendant. It appeared that the defendant had executed a composition deed under which he covenanted to pay his creditors 2s. 61 in the pound. Plaintiff had signed this deed in the ordinary course, and he con tinued to send in goals to the defendant, who made him various payments from time to time. When plaintiff sent in his account he debited defendant with the amount entered in the composition deed, and credited him with the monios paid as against the whole account. It was contended by Mr. Mws that the deed of composition was an answer to the old debt, and that plaintiff had no right to revivc: it. Thus the money paid must come off the new debt, and plaintiff should not recover. On the other hand, Mr. Buchanan called evidence to show that defendant had specifically revived the debt himself, and that he told plaintiff he should pay every farthing, while the sums paid were ex pressly directed by the defendant against the debt compounded for. Defendant did not deny that he had intended to pay the old debt, but he said he had not been well treated by the plaintiff, or he should not have de fended this suit. His Honour said it was clear defendant had paid the money on account of the old debt, and be was quite entitled to do this, although it did not say much for the effect of composition deeds. In this case plaintiff was entitled to recover, and would have a verdict for the amount claimed. Verdict for the plaintiff, with costs. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS--THIS DAY. -4+ (Before Mr. Sergeant Dowling.) George Regan was indicted for robbing a sailor at the Turk's Head publichouse, Wapping. Walter Fell said he was a sailor, residing at North Shields ; and on the evening of the 3d of August he was at the Turk's Head publichouse, and having treated the prisoner to a glass of grog, he entered into conversation with him in the tap room. He then fell asleep, and was awoke by feeling his hand in his pocket. He purpucd him, and eventually he was taken into custody. This evidence having been corroborated, The prisoner said his witnesses had not been bound over to appear, and therefore he was pre cluded from proving his innocence. The constable said the witness the prisoner spoke about said he should not attend, because he was. fearful that if he gave his evidence his boat would be sunk by the companions of the prisoner. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the learned judge sentenced him to 12 months' im prisonment with hard labour. Jane Haigh was indicted with wilfully neglect- ing her infant child. The evidence showed that the prisoner had neglected the child in the most shameful manner, so much so that it expired six weeks after it had been in the parish infirmary. The learned Judge said it was a most frightful case of neglect, and he sentenced her to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. Ann Parker, a young woman, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging her with obtaining, by false representation, a quantity of linen. She was sen tenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. Henry Gordon, Julia Harley, and Ann Kemp were indicted for stealing five pairs of trousers, the property of Mr. Wood, a tailor in the Kingsland-road. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoners were seen near the shop of Mr. Wood, the male prisoner applrently instructing the girls how to steal the property. The girl Hurley eventually took up the five pairs of trousers and ran away with them. She was, however, stopped by the police, and the other two prisoners were taken into custody before they could get away from the shop. The jury found all the prisoners guilty. A long list of previous convictions was then read against Gordon, amongst which was one for four years' penal servitude, which, however, would not expire until next August. A former conviction for 18 months was also proved against Hurley. The Judge told Gordon that punishment seemed to be of little avail, but he would on this occasion be removed from haunts in this country for some time to come. The sentence of the court was that he be kept in penal servitude for seven years ; the girl Hurley he sentenced to two years' imprison ment, and as Kemp was not known he should sentence her to only six months' imprisonment with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON A COMPOSITOR. —John. Williams, a ragged fellow, described as a vendor of groundsel, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with begging, and assaulting Mr. James Godley, compositor and press reader, residing at No. 1, Tottenham-court -road. Mr. Godley was taking a walk with his daughters yes terday evening, when the prisoner followed him and im portuned him for money. Mr. Godley told him to go away, or he would hand him over to a constable, upon which the prisoner said that if he was given in charge it should be for something, tucked up his cuffs, and, putting himself in a fighting attitude, aimed' a blow at Mr. Godley, who stepped back and avoided it. The prisoner after wards made off, but Mr. Godley, determined not to let him escape, followed Lim, and seized him for the purpose of detaining him till the arrival of a constable, upon whicb the prisoner struck and kicked him. The prisoner was then given into custody. The prisoner, in answer to the charg3, said the com plainant' struck him first, but that was denied by Mr. Godley. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that it was clear what sort of a fel low the prisoner was. Ile importuned persons for alms, and if he did not succeed in getting them resorted to violence. The prisoner would be committed for two months with hard labour.

Three weeks ago she prosecuted a disorderly and savage woman for assaulting her and destroying a dog belonging to her. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to 14 days' imprisonment and hard labour. The complainant had been subjected to the most unjust persecution ever since she had given evidence from the roughs and disorderlies in the neighbourhood; her life was threat ened, stones thrown at her, and her trade in jured by song Very bad poopl, I(3:i.tering about hep BRITISU P Atlantic hr,St.Lawrence Born., Baroda, k Cen.ln. gu. 5 percent...

One of them was removed to the deadhouse of the hospital at Grimsby, and was searched by a policeman, when a watch, which had stopped at 1.33, was found ; also several documents. The features were disfigured so much as to bo unrecognisable. Amongst the papers a return half-ticket from Cleethorpes to Ashton under-Lyne was found, also a "contribution card," of a sick and burial society held at the house of Joseph Knott, Red Lion Inn, Ashton, which showed that the last pay ment of 3s. was made July the 6th. This established the identity of the corpse as being that of Thomas Platt. The other was that of Mr. Itawlinson. An inquest was held, and a 'verdict of "Accidental death" returned.

A mob soon collected, and they commenced throwing stones at the prosecutrix and at her shop. She fras obliged to close her shop to save the windows, and •v$ - hile sho was doing so she was struck on the forehead with a.large stone thrown by the prisoner, who was the leader of Vie unruly mob. The people were calling Out "Down with her,' "We will ,have it out of her for sending the wo man to prison." The police were sent for, and the prisoner, who made a determined resistance, was given into custody. The stat Anent of Mrs. Legn whose husband is at Be was conllrmed by several witne,,:ses. The prisoner said a flowerpot was thrown at her by the complainant, and called two witnesses to support her state ments. They prevaricated most g - ress/y. Mr. Benson said the complainant had most properly appealed to the laws for protection, and a woman had been punished for assaulting her and killing her dog. People of the prisoner's stamp and all others must be taught that the laws were to be respected, and that persons who came to that court must be protected. This outrage must bo punished with severity. Ho sentenced the prisoner to six weeks' imprisonment with hard labour. ILARkZE TS. --This day. MARK LANE. Fresh up from Kent and Essex the arrivals of English wheat of this year's growth have been very moderate, but the quality of the samples generally is good. There was very little old wheat on offer, and for all kinds the trade was heavy, at barely the• reduced currency of Monday last. There was a good show of foreign samples, for which the demand was quite in retail, and in some instances less money was accepted. There have been moderate imports of barley, but the quantity on offer was small. The trade for all kinds was firm, at fully late rates. Floating cargoes of grain have been less active, and paces tend downwards. Malt, the supply of which was good, moved off slowly at about Monday's values. There was an extensive show of oats on the stands, and good sound corn sold steadily at previous terms, but inferior parcels were rather easier. Beans and peas were firm, and fully supported late quotations. We have no change to report in the value of either town or country flour. [n seo?s there is very little passing. Linseed and rape seed met a slow sale, and agricultural Seeds were inactive. Cakes were held at full currencies. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

MANCHESTER, Aug. 27.—The dulness and decline in cotton at Liverpool has reacted upon this market, and we have had a very quiet day, with a further decline in prices. In shipping yarns there has been some business, bat it has only been done where sellers have been willing to make some concessions. In most kinds of these yarns the decline is equal to id. to id. per lb. upon the rates of last week. In home trade yarns there has been little done, and prices are easier than on Friday last for nearly all descriptions. The decline reported in the cloth- , market last week still continues, and nearly all classes of fabrics are purchaseable at lower rates than on last Tuesday. This decline has been ac companied by a marked indisposition ou the part of buyers to operate even at the lowest rates. The commercial advices from India continue very un favourable, and the accounts to hand by a telegram to the 21st MA. are of a kind to deter shippers to the markets of Calcutta and Bombay from doing any business of consequence. To-day the only offers making for India goods have been at such low prices as to place business almost out of the question. Cloths sui ing the markets of China sustain their values relatively better than those for India ; but even these are quoted lower. Under these circumstances the manufacturers at- tending the market to-day are again disposed to discuss the advisability of lessening produc tion, and it seems probable that the continual sacrifices they have to make iu price, from the in sufficiency of demand to carry off the supply of goods, will again force them to run their mills fewer h )urs per day. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of to-day's cloth market : " Prices of all sorts have sustained a further de cline during the week, and the demand has become so languid as to render quotations quite nominal. The continued unfavourable accounts from India have caused an almost complete cessation of bilsi uess in those staples, and the few offers made to-day aro at greatly reduced prices, and have led to little or no business." CARDIFF, 26.—There is but little alteration to note in the steam coal trade, operations at the three docks being still characterised by a degree of slackness. A good many vessels of the larger ton nage now patronise Pcnarth in consequence of the easy facilities for loading and of ingress and egress. The slight reaction for the better in the Con tinental demand, referred to last week, is so far maintained, and probabilities aro in favo - ur of a further increase. The dividend of the Taff gale Railway Company for the past half-year is at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, as com pared with 9 per cent. in the corresponding half year, the decrease being mainly attributable in a falling off in the traffic consequent upon the dul ness in the demand for steam coal, and the extreme depression in the iron trade. The Rhymney dividend is at the rate of 3 per cent., being the same as for the corresponding half-year. A commencement has been made on the railway which is to connect the extensive Tondu works with the Pcnarth dock. For railway iron, upon which this district mainly depends, there is scarcely any perceptible increase in the demand, but the inquiries made are more numerous, and indicate that actual engagements will ultimately be increased. In miscellaneous qualities there is more business doing. Tin plates continue to sell freely. LEEDS, 27.—The cloth halls to-day have pre sented about the usual activity for a Tuesday's mar ket, and the business done was equal to that of this day se'nnight. As the harvest prospects are now favourable, and the price of wheat has fallen, the expectations of a good Lome trade for autumn and winter goods by the working classes has increased, and hence a little more business is notice able in some classes of goods. The merchants and wholesale buyers, however, having already laid in fair stocks, the goods sold in the halls to-day did not exceed in the aggregate what may be put dawn as the average of the last month. The goods sold were of a general character, including most of the kinds of fabrics lately noticed in these reports as being in vogue. The manufacturers in the surrounding districts are quite as well em ployed as for some time past, and take the woollen manufacture of the West Riding as a whole it is, though quiet, in a sound and satisfactory condition. Prices of wool, woollen yarns, and goods are alike firm. ROCHDALE, 26.—The flannel market has been rather better attended to-day than last Monday. There was no great activity in the way of pur chases, merchants showing the same languid dispo sition to speculate beyond almost their immediate requirements, as we have lately reported as the characteristic feature of these markets. The goods sold comprised about an equal proportion of plain and fancy flannels, and the prices realised were equal to those of the past month. Yorkshire goods were also steady as to prices, but only a small bulk of goods were sold. Wools are firm in price, but not much of any quality was sold to-day. . THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK.

Leamington Hunt SITTING FOR YOUR PORTRAIT.—If a man have had two photographs done of him, one of which, owing to some unfortunate combination of lights and shadows, makes him look like a murderer, while the other shows him as a respectable and amiable member of society, it would be hard if ho would be obliged to submit to bo represented by the first of the two. It will to remembered by most persons who have had much experience of sit ting for photographs, that at least one of their por traits Las been suggestive of murderous tendencies in tho original, while another has conveyed the idea of a simper ing humbug. These unhappy results are oftener attribu table to our own misdoing than we think. In sitting for our portraits we are ilpt to begin by looking preternaturally wise, and in making this attempt our features assume a homicidal cast. Horrified at this state of things, we smile, and behold the humbug appears ! These two phases passed through, some of us in the endea vour to steer clear of both extremes, and to resemble neither murderers nor hypocrites, are apt to fall into yet another pitfall, in some respects more terrible than the other two, and to contract au air of chronic im becility. Suppose a dozen different portraits taken from the same original, each will probably differ in so many respects from all the others, that in some cases it might prove desirable to have more than one portrait of a single personage.—Dickens's "rill the Fear Round.'

EXTRAORDINARY HOAX.—A. most remarkable affair has just come to light at Wirksworth, Derby shire. A married woman, living with her husband at Winster, ncr Wirksworth, left hmne last Wednesday at noon, for the purpose of taking some £3O in cash to the bank, and when, as she at first stated, was proceeding along an out-of-the-way part of the road, a villanous-lookiug man pounced upon and seized her from behind. He grasped her tightly, and upon her attempting to scream out he pulled out a clasp-knife and struck at her with the huge open blade, but she fortunately succe .ded in guarding the blows off with her hands, which were slightly abrased. A desperate encounter then took place between the parties, ending in the h ghway robber throwing his victim to tho ground, rifling hor pocket of the bank notes and all the money, and then decamping. She proceeded to the nearest police station, where sho reported the outrage, giving a minute description of her assailant. From the woman's statement, the pol . ce superintendent of the district consi dered the affair a desperate attack, and at once issued no tices giving a description of the garotter and offering .C 5 reward for his apprehension. The notice further said that two men were suspected who were in the neigh bourhood mending umbrellas. Af ter inquiries had been prosecuted it turned out that the whole affair was a concoction, that she had not even been stopped or robbed of a farthing. Further, it is alleged she had changed and spent the money. THE WOOLVERTON MURDERER. —George Britten will not be hung to-d: y, as was at first intended.
