SBARE A NONEY MA. 11.2" it .NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return, complete to the 28th of August, shows some rather favourable features. The Bullion has been increased by the arrivals of gold from Australia and the Continent, and the Reserve of Notes shows an augmentation of about half a million sterling. In the Public Deposits there is a rather large diminution, but there is an important addition to the Private Deposits; and in the other Securities a decrease to a considerable amount is apparent, consequent upon the easier demand for money. In the other items of the balance-sheet the changes were unimportant, and they will be seen in the subjoined table : Active Circulation .. £19,754.080 Decrease .. .. .. .. 259,005 Stock of Bullion .. 13,104,322 Increase .. . 271,041 Rest 3,476,271 Decrease .. . 58,750 Public Deposits 4,064,709 Decrease .. 638,793 Other Deposits .. 12,774,391 Increase • • • • • • .. 933,648 Seven Day and other Bills .. 669,066 ' Decrease .. .. .. .. 46,670 Government Securities • . 10,13 5,800 No alteration.

Sugars have slightly declined, and for good and fine qualities of coffee full rates have been obtained. Cocoa has been in moderate request, and at the public sales of tea the dealings were to an average extent, at about previous quo tations. Saitpetre has been dull, but tallow has slightly advanced owing to speculative purchases. The alteration in the minimum rate of discount of the Bank of England has been productive of increased easiness in the general money market. As the supplies of capital are excessive, there is an active competition for the securities offered for negotiation by the mercantile public, and the con sequence is, that accommodation can be obtained on the best qualities of commercial paper as low as %- per cent. The Bank authorities, therefore, are unlikely to command a larger amount of discount business than they did before they modified their regulations. The demand, however, has materially increased, but this arises from the diminished ope rations previously enterei into, and in a few days it is probable that the inquiry will again subside. The Joint Stock Banks have reduced their allowance on deposits to 3 per cent, the London and Westminster, as usual, giving 1 per cent. less for sums under £5OO, and the discount firms have lowered their rate to 3 per cent, for money at call, and 31 with seven days' notice. About £20,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The Ecuatorian Commission of Agency have re ceived a remittance of £3,697 on account of the Debt of Ecuador. A call of £2 per share has been made by the directors of the San Paulo (Brazilian) Railway, payable on or before the Ist October. A large amount of business was reported in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices ad vanced about id. per lb. The sales were 20,000 bales. stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock tock stock 6.4.0. stock stock stock stock stock atock stock stock stock stock 19.16 4 stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock .tock stock stock 12 10 4tock goo. stock stock stock stock The market for Public Securities to-day has been influenced by some speculative sales on the part of operators, who having purchased at lower prices 'A ere anxious to realise their profits.

Mr. Strug- nell, were placed at the bar again to-day, in order that other charges might be preferred against them, and also for the purpose of hearing what vas known of them by the Men dicity Society. IL WAYS. Inspector West said the gentleman of whom he spoke the other day was now in attendance, and he could prove another robbery by the prisoners. Mr. Carlyle, of Berners-street, said a few days ago the prisoners called at his house, and, after detailing a most sorrowful case, applied to him for an admission into the Lying-in-Hospital. His suspicions were aroused that they were imposters and determined to keep them in view while in his house. Notwithstanding the greatest precaution, after they had left the house an umbrella was discovered to have been stolen, and as Johnson was the one who stood near the hat and umbrella stand, he was of opinion that she was the party who stole it. Johnson—That's a lie. Witness—The umbrella was safe a minute before they entered the house, and was missed immediately they had quitted it. Johnson—Oh, your worship, don't believe him ;he muse be mistaken. Inspector West—They are both very bad characters, your worship. Another gentleman from Somerset House is also in attendance to prove a case against them if ne cessary. Johnson—Another gentleman ! Oh you villain, you're trying to transport me, and you're getting up all this evi dence. What chance does a pour lone woman stand against a policeman. I've got a good character, your worship, but you don't seem to think so. The Mendicity officer produced the record of a number of convictions against the prisoners. Johnson (howling ana crying very loudly) —He's another nice article. All the convictions are mistakes. Oh, your worship, don't believe him ; think of a poor lone widow — think of my poor babies. The Magistrate said he should commit them for trial also for stealing the umbrella. Johnson (still crying very loudly)-0h, don't do that ; think of the children. The Magistrate-- - Yes, I shall. Johnson (to Inspector West)—Wait till we come out, old fellow; we'll serve you out for this. It's all through you we go to sessions. We won't forget you. Only wait till we come out, we'll be one with you. Both prisoners were then with some difficulty removed from the bar. MARLBORO UGH- STRE ET. ATTEMPTING TO ROB MEMBERS OF THE JUNIOR UNITED SERVICE CLUE.---Three young men of low ap pearance, named Dennis Regan, James Tucker, and James Barrett, were charged with attempting to pick the pockets of several gentlemen leaving the Junior United Service Club, the previous night, about 10 o'clock. Gordon, 33G A, said, about 10 o'clock the previous night, while in Regent. street, he saw the prisoners standing near th 3 club -house, and, on a gentleman leaving, they all fol lowed him into Charles-street, where he saw Regan attempt to pick his pocket- lie. the.er returned to the club-house, and followed another gentleman and attempted to pick his pocket. They then returned and followed a third gentleman, and also tried to pick his pocket. They tried to escape, but he caught Regan behind an omnibus, and having handed him over to a constable, went after the others and took then' in Regent -quadrant. - - Sergeant Holmes, F division, said he knew Regan had been soldiering for some time, but before then he was a thief. Ho had only been back a few days. Tucker had had three years in a reformatory. Ho knew nothing of Barrett whatever. Mr. Yardley—Have you been a soldier, Regan ? Regan—l was in the Royal gorse Artillery as a driver, but being kicked by a horse in the side was discharged. Mr. Yardley—Where is your discharge ? Regan—l have lost it. Mr. Yardley—l suppose then it was not a discharge worth keeping ? Regan—Well, that's about it, it was not a very good one. Tucker—l was in Redhill Reformatory. Mr. Yardley—l will remand Barrett, but commit the others for three months each with hard labour. Zetland GREAT YORKSHIRE STAKES. Oldminstcr Camerino _ Clarissa colt .. Ten ran. EIGHTH PRODUCE STAKES.

DEAL REGATTA. The annual regatta at Deal took place on Monday Eight boats put in an appearance for the principal prize. Amongst them were two crews from Hastings, one from Newhaven, Deal, and Sandgate, and Bain's crew, of Lambeth, who rowed in the Ariel, of Dover. The race was fixed for three o'clock, and shortly after that hour a good start Ni as effected ; but the race was never in doubt, as the Londoners took the lead and kept it to the end, winning by more than 15 lengths. Distance, four miles, Time, 23 minutes. Tho winning crew then proceeded to Dover to row for the Lord Warden's prize. There were nine entries fir this prize, amongst which was Bain's crew, of Lambeth, who were so successful last week at Antwerp. Only three boats put in an appearance, viz., Hastings, of Hastings ; the Widgeon, of Newhaven ; and Bain's crew, who rowed in the Ariel, of Dover. The latter, although the worst placed, were the favourites at starting. The Hastings crew took the lead, but the Londoners only played with them, as when they were near home they drew away from them, and at last won any way they pleased. The following are the names of the crew :—Alfred Hop kins, Edward Carter, James Chapman, Robert Bain, stroke, and J. Hill, coxswain. Distance, three miles and a half; time, 20 minutes. After the match with T. W. Crout, jun., of Woolwich, and John Young, of the same place, on Monday last, the friends of Young were so annoyed at him being defeated so easily that they again challenged the winner by matching C. Webb against him for £25 a-side, which was at once ac cepted. They are to row from Putney to Mortlake, on the Bth of October. £lO a-side is already staked. Crout is under the care of R. Bain, of Lambeth. EASTERN COUNTIES RAIL WA E The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders and directors of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern. The attendance of shareholders was not very numerous at the commencement of the proceedings. Horatio Love, Esq., chairman of the directors, presided. The report, which has already appeared in The Sun, and minutes of the last meeting having been read, The CHAIR:VAN rose to move the reception and adoption of the report. He said, before ho went into an explanation of the accounts he thought it was his duty to refer in a very prominent manner to a letter that had been received from Messrs. Quilter and Ball ; and, before doing so, he would have the letter read by the secretary, in order that the shareholders might be in possession of every fact known to the directors on the subject. That having been done, he should be ready at the proper time to answer any question that might be addressed to him on the subject. The Secretary then read the correspondence that had taken place between the Messrs. Quilter and the Secretary relative to the accounts of the locomotive department, and particularly pointing out an error in the sum set down for , stock in store, which the Messrs. Quilter, the official audi tors of the company, stated to be " a deliberate perversion of matters of fact." The CHArtotA,N said he had no doubt that anybody who had listened to the reading of the letter would come to the conclusion that there had been some tampering or malver sation of the funds of the Eastern Counties Railway ; but all the auditors were in the room, and he defied any of them to put their finger on one item that was not honestly entered in the company's books. (Hear, hear.) The directors had, in fact, felt it right to deal with the accounts in one way, and the Messrs. Quilter had come to the conclusion that they ought to have been dealt with in another, (Hear, hear.) With regard to the first charge of Messrs. Quilter and Ball, he might remark that many heavy demands had been made for renewals of permanent way, and the directors thought that instead of charging the whole of the sum of £34,000 to one half year, it would be better to spread it over two—(hear, hear), espeeially as that one-half year had been somewhat less productive than usual. The head and front of the offend ing of the directors was that they had not taken the opi nion of Messrs. Quilter and Ball on that subject. He was of opinion that the directors had done right. (Cries of " Yes, yes," and " No.") The second charge of Messrs. Quilter was with reference to the locomotive department. The directors, looking at the depreciation of the locomotive plant and its obsolete character, and looking also to the prospects next year, a con siderable amount had been in course of delivery during the last two years. The directors had thought proper not to charge all the plant to the present half-year, and de termined to postpone £50,000 to the next half-year. As to the "running on the line," he might remark, that course had been taken in order to test the efficiency of the new articles supplied. (Hear, hear.) The whole question was one of allocation of an account, and not one of tampering with the property of the company. The next point was a charge of omission of the debt due to the Norfolk Company of £30,000, towards'which, it was said, there was no provision except about £7,000. This was a matter which did not come properly under the notice of Messrs. Quilter as auditors. The present was not the proper time to fix upon the revenue, and arrangements had been made to meet it, but it was not a matter neces sary at present to be introduced into the account. With regard to other matters, he might say that Messrs. Quilter had been mistaken in reference to the unliquidated balances. This company did business to the amount of £60,000 in goods a year, and no company in such a posi tion had so small an unliquidated balance as the Eastern Counties Company. Such were the charges made by Messrs. Quilter and Co. ; as to their opinions he took no heed of them, believing that he was able to prove as sound a judg ment as they were. Turning to the general business of the company the Chairman went rapidly through the ac- counts, and various items of the report, and concluded by moving its adoption. Mr. GOODSON seconded the motion. Mr. AINSLIE complained of the manner in which the contracts of the company had been entered into, and said said that he knew many honourable men who would not stoop to sweeten the under servants, and therefore they never succeeded in getting any portion of the work of the company. Mr. ADAMS said, according to the accounts in the report, one thing was very evident, and that was, that there was a decrease of receipts and an increase of expenditure, and he did not think that such a circumstance should be al lowed to continue. He wished to know whether the regis ter of the dividend account hal been examined indepen dently of the chairman, as last year they had been examined by the chairman's clerk. He thought there ought to be some different way of examining the register. Messrs. Quilter and Ball were very eminent accountants ; and he thought that some inquiry by the shareholders should be instituted, and if he could get a seconder, he would move that a committee be appointed to take into consideration the last paragraph of Messrs. Quilter and Ball's communication. Mr. Box agreed that it was very necessary that a com mittee should be appointed. If in after time anything un pleasant should occur, they (the shareholders) would only have themselves t o blame. Mr. CIIRISTIR said to him that Messrs. Quilter and Ball thought they should not divide anything until all their debts were paid. The motion for a committee was then put and negatived. Mr. SOPER called on Messrs. Quilter and Ball to explain why the letters were written. The CHAIRMAN ruled that Mr. Soper was not in order. He then put the motion for the adoption of the report, which was carried. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceed- SHORT TIME AT BACUP.—The master cotton spinners and manufacturers of Bacup held a meeting on Wednesday, and unanimously resolved to run no morb than four days per week, commencing yesterday morning. With but very few exceptions all the firms in the town were re presented at the meeting. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held to day at the London Tavern. The report of the directors, which was unanimously adopted, stated that the number of messages sent by the company's lines during the half-year ending the 30th June last, amount to 104,533, while only 79,503 were transmitted during the corresponding period of 1860, being an increase of 25,090 messages. The total re ceipts in money are, however, less by £4,236 than those of the six months ending Dec. 31, 1860, which deficiency arises chiefly from the reduction of tariff, and notwithstand ing the large increase of business, the directors have, by a judicious economy, been enabled to reduce the working ex penses in the past half-year, by about £9OO. CLERRENWELL. Joseph Williams was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with stealing a quantity of railway bills from the offices of the Great Northern Railway, King's-cross. The defexdant denied stealing the bills in question; he said he had been engaged by a person, who described him self as a clerk on the railway, to deliver the bills to the public. The magistrate was not satisfied with the account given as to the possession of the bil st and fined Williams 20s. for not being able to give a satisfactory account of how the bills came into his possession. Helen Hunt was committed to prison for two months ; for stealing a lady's reticule from a stationer's shop. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ASSAULT.—WiIIiam Evans, a bookseller, in Jubilee-street, Stepney, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with indecently as saulting Sophia Slimed, a girl aged ten years. Mr. Gomm, from the office of Mr. Charles Young, soli citor, defended the accused. The prisoner is a pale-fa ced slender young man, and his parents keep a large bookseller's shop in the Cambridge Road, Bethnal Green, near the Salmon and Ball, and are very respectable people, appeared much distressed at the odious aharge preferred against their son. The investiga tion commenced yesterday afternoon, and which terminated this morning went to show that the prisoner had im properly assaulted with his hands only, and exposed his person to three little girls, the sisters of the com plainant, and aged respectively seven, four, and two years, and he had been severely reprimanded by their mother for doing so. In spite.pf these remonstrances the girl Sophia Smeed, who was TO years old last May, was invited into his shop oa Wednesday afternoon, while she was nursing a baby. He said he would show her a picture-book. She went into the shop, and he produced a large and bulky volume of " Arts and Sciences," and exhibited to her the plates illustrating the article midwifery, which wore very numerous. The book, a quarto volume of the "Dictionary of Arts and Science," vol. 2, was produced and laid before the magistrate. The prisoner, after showing and describing the engravings to the girl, said, " Mind my shop while I go down stairs. He was absent a few minutes, and returned with his clothes in disorder, and exposed himself in a very im proper manner to the girl. He then proceeded to commit the assault complained of with his hands. It was an out rage of the moot gross description, and which the girl re sisted as much as she was able. Mr. Gomm cross-examined the girl, and was proceeding to put questions with a view of proving she was a consent ing party, when Mr. Woolrych said Mr. Gomm was pur suing a dangerous course; and added, " The prisoner is a nasty fellow to show the girl the engravings in that book. He is a person of ill conditioned mind." Eliza Smeed, wife of a warehouseman, and mother of the girl, said her daughter came home to her and related what had taken place. She then gave the prisoner into custody. Esther Lunn, a very respectable and intelligent girl, said she went into the prisoner's shop with another girl, on Wednesday evening, and saw his clothes in disorder, his trousers down, and his linen hanging out, and the little girl Smeed seated on a chair nursing a baby. Mr. Gomm said the prisoner met with an accident a year and half ago that injured hiS head, and since he had been suffering from want of memory, hallucinations, and night walking. He would call witnesses to make out the defence. Mr. Woolrych—A jury must decide this case. The depositions having been completed by Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk, the prisoner was committed for trial. THE WRECKED STEAMER BALTlC.—Captain 0. Russell, who was despatched to the wreck of the Baltic screw steamer (of and from Hull for Riga, which got on shore near Dago), by Lloyd's Salvage Association, to pro tect the interest of the underwriters, reports that, up to the 13th inst., • 36o bales of sound cotton had been saved from the wreck, likewise the threshing machines, portable en gines, iron, and, indeed, most of the cargo.

Although actually one and the same body of water ; one lake in a great measure supplying the others, still they are divided into parts—Lough Leane, or the Lower Lake ; Muckross, Tore, or the Middle Lake—and the Upper Lake—with a river called the Long Range, two and a half miles in length, running from the Upper to the Middle Lake. The Lower Lake is five miles long by three miles broad; the Middle two miles by one broad ; and the Upper Lake, two and a half miles by three quarters of a mile in breadth,. Besides a num ber of smaller cascades, there are four parti cularly worthy of notice :—The Tore Cascade, about four miles from Killarney town, said to be the finest of the Lake Waterfalls; Berri cunnihy Cascade, eight and three-quarter miles dis tant; Esknatnucky, six and a-half miles distant ; and O'Sullivan's Cascade, four and a half miles ; the last mentioned visited from Ross Island, by boat; the oth er t h ree may b e visited by road from Killarney. The bosom of the Lower Lake is dotted with islands of various size and form, some of them connected with the surrouuding shores and with each other by bridges constructed so as to appear in keeping with the surrounding scenery. On the Lower Lake there are 30 islands, on the Middle four, and on the Upper six ; but none of the last are of a large size. It is said the circumference of the entire is about 30 miles. The Upper Lake is in its level five feet higher than the Middle or Lower Lakes, which are only separated from each other by a narrow strip of land projecting from Muckross island; the Upper Lake is two miles distant from the nearest point of the Middle Lake. From the immediate vicinity of the town, a chain of mountains fully 40 miles in length is distinctly visible ; those in the immediate vicinity of the lakes are very imposing in their appearance, varying as they do from 1,100 to 3,400 feet in height above the level of the sea. The principal of these are MiGillycuddy's Reek, upwards of 3,400 feet ; Man - gerton, 2,700 Purple Mountain the same height ; Tomies, 2,400 ; the Devil's Punch B3wl, 2,200 ; Tore, 1,750; and the Eagle's Nest, 1,100. As Ross Castle is likely to become a point of great interest, from the fact of its having been the Queen's point of embarkation on her first visit to the Lakes, the following details respecting it may prove interesting : Ross is more properly a peninsula than an island, being separated from the mainland only by a narrow cut through a morass, which it is more than probable was a work of art, with a view to strengthen the fortifications of the castle. The island, for so it must be termed, is the largest island of the Lake. It contains about 80 plantation acres, richly and luxuriously cultivated; a portion of it is converted into a graceful and carefully kept flower garden, where seats are placed so as to command the more striking and picturesque views; and in every part nature has been so judiciously trained and guided, that the whole scene is one of surpassing beauty. The castle is a fine remain; much less in jured by time than the majority of its co-mates in Kerry county. It is a tall, square, embattled build ing, based upon a limestone rock, sustained at the land side by a plain massive buttress; from the north-east and north-west angles project two machicolated defences. It contains a spiral stair case of cut stone. It was erected by one of the earlier chieftains of the O'Donoghnes. Of course the several legends connected with the name of the O'Donoghue have their source in thi4, his castle of Ross. The peasantry will point out the window from which he leaped into the lake when he exchanged his sovereignty on earth for that of the waters under it. He was endowed, they say, with the gift of transforming himself into any shape, and his wife requested him to exhibit some of his transformations before her. He warned her that if he did so, and she displayed any symptoms of fear, they would be separated for ever. She still persisted in the spirit of female curiosity, and in perfect confidence that she could look on unmoved. On his assuming, however, some very terrible shape, she shrieked with terror. He immediately sprang from the window to the lake below, and remains there an en3hanted spirit, his enchantment to continue until, by his brief annual ride, his silver shoes are worn out by the attrition of the surface of the water. Ross Castle forms a conspicuous feature in the landscape from every part of the Lower Lake. During the war tl e outbuildings were fitted up as a barrack. The castle is famous in Irish history as being the last in Munster to hold out against the Parliamentary army. In 1652, Ludlow, the succes sor of Ireton, assisted by Sir Hardress Waller, laid siege to it. It was defended by Lord Muskerry with a sufficiency of troops, and an amply supply of provisions ; yet the castle, so well prepared for de fence, surrendered upon articles, without striking a vigorous blow. The circumstance is attributable to the terror that seized upon the garrison when they beheld war-ships floating on the lake, in fulfilment of an ancient prophecy, which foretold the castle could be taken only when an event occurred— almost as improbable as that " Birnam Forest" should come to c' Dunsinane." Although it is very unlikely that Ludlow had beard of this tradition, or would have heeded it if he had, it is certain that, having considered it wisest to attack the castle by water, he had constructed boats for the purpose ; " and," as he says, " when we had received our boats, each of which was capable of containing 120 men, I ordered one of them to be rowed about, in order to find out the most convenient place for land ing upon the enemy, which they perceiving, thought fit, by timely submission, to prevent the danger that threatened them."

A NEW REAPER.—A very remarkable reaping machine was tried a few days ago in a village not far from Newcastle. Its weight does not exceed 871 b. ; one horse can draw it, and yet it does as much work in as little time as the ponderous vehicles that require the assistance of three horses. The inventor is the son of a Northumbrian farmer.—. Newcastle Chronicle. HIGH FEES IN HIGH PLACES.—The House of Commons has published its " Standing Orders," corrected to the close of the Session. The table of fees would sur prise persons unacquainted with Parliamentary business. The rate varies according to the sum intended to be laid out upon the undertaking to be sanctioned. If a town deter mine on a great public improvement, on which a million and a half of money is to be laid out, the first step is to de posit a petition for leave to bring in a bill before the House —but the House cannot see the petition unless there is a £5O note in it. On the first reading of the bill, on the second reading, on the report from the select committee on the bill, and even after approval by the select committee, on the third reading, too, down to the time when the house has to part with the bill, it can see no merit in it unless on each of these steps £l5O be paid before the bill is put to the vote. These are parts of the price which " the powers that be" charge for an Act of Parliament. BANK 1 ETURN-8.
