The money market remains in a very quiet state, and the quotations continue to range +, to 7, per cent. under the minimum of the Bank of England. The directors have held their weekly court, and have separated, as expected, without announcing any further change in their discount regulations. A further supply of gold, amounting to £84,000, Was purchased by the Bank of England authorities yesterday. The directors of the London and Blackwall Rail- W aY have determined to propose a dividend at the rate of 24 per cent. for the half year. The Bremen, which left Southampton yesterday for New York, took £15,000 in gold from England and £1,747 from Havre; and the Edinburgh, from Liverpool, conveyed £3,000. The failure was announced yesterday of Messrs. Beater, Dennant, and Reep, trading as Messrs. i J ames Coster, Beater, Dennant, and Reep, ware nnnsemen, of Aldermanbury. The liabilities are estimated at £lBO,OOO to £200,000, and the assets are also expected to prove considerable. The with drawal of the capital of Mr. James Coster, who died a few years since, is supposed to have accele rated the event, although the cause assigned in the _Circul ar i ssued to the creditors is a series of heavy losses, and delinquencies on the part of the two Irincipal clerks. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi ness Was not so active, and prices tended down- War ds. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales. A quiet tone has pervaded the Market for Pub lie Securities to-day, and the quotations have under- Due very little change, Consols being 903 for tran sfer, and 901 for the account. During the ear ly part of the day rather more buoyancy pre /ailed, but the variation has scarcely exceeded 1.16 th Per cent.

BOW -STREET. John Samms, a young man about 20 years of age, was charged with assaulting the police and threatening the life of his sister. Police-constable 14S said—l was sent from this court about half-past four to No. 5, George-street, Bloomsbury, yesterday, by Mr. Henry, to caution the prisoner relative to his ill-using his sister. On entering the house the pri soner left it by the back yard, but I eventually saw him in a public-house. I told him what the magistrate said, when he attempted again to assault his sister, who was with me, and pointed the prisoner out to me. He became very ex cited, and while I was again cautioning him he spat in my face. Prisoner—On my solemn oath I never did so ; it was meant for my sister. Mr. Hall—Well, I must say that was a very strange way for you to conduct yourself towards your sister. Prisoner—She's always aggravating me ; she wants to get me away from home. Mr. Hall—What are you ? Prisoner—l aint any trade. Ido nothing. I was going away to the north of Ireland this morning if I had not been taken into custody. I've got my clothes all ready to go. My sister's the most aggravating woman born. Her game's clear. I The sister of the prisoner, a very respectably-dressed young woman, here stepped forward. She said the prisoner for the last eight or nine months had been guilty of acting in the most cruel manner towards her. Their father lived in the country, and she managed the lodging-house he had in George-street. The prisoner was a great trouble to his family, as he was an idle, dissolute young man. He Jiad a room in the house in George-street, and his father allowed him Is. a day to spend, but immediately the money was gone, he was in the habit of coming home and conducting himself in a most violent manner. He had already been in prison for fifteen days for kicking her, and no later than yesterday he again assaulted her. The assaults, although painful, she could endure, but of late he had so often threatened to murder her that she felt afraid he would one day carry out his threat. Mr. Hall—How long ago is it since he threatened your life ? Witness—Yesterday, sir, he took up one of the table knives, and said he would do for me before he left London. Prisoner—She's the most bloodthirsty woman on the face of God's earth, but I don't wish her any harm. Mr. Hall—Oh, no, of course not. Your late observation lets us see what sort of person you really are. I shall fine you 10s. for the assault on the officer, and call upon you to enter into your own recognisances for £4O, and to find two respectable sureties of £2O each, to keep the peace towards your sister for three months, and if you fail in that you will be detained in prison for that period. The prisoner was locked up. 2} 171 161 fiHIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. THE BATTLE OF BULL'S RUN. (From a Secession Source.) RICHMOND, JULY 26. A special despatch to the Charleston Mercury, dated July 23, says :—As soon as it became evident that the enemy meant to give battle, President Davis hastened to the scene of action, and was in time to take part in the battle. He immediately assumed command of the centre. General Beauregard was commander of the right wing ; and General Johnston of the left. It was against Gen. Johnston's command the enemy con centrated their best troops, who fought most obsti nately. At one time the left was pressed so severely that the issue of the conflict in that direction seemed doubtful. It was here that' Col. Barton's Georgian regi ment was posted, which was so terribly cut up that a large body of our troops from the centre was sent out at a critical moment to the left's assistance, and turned the tide of the battle. The enemy broke and fled before the impetaous charges of the Southerners, and the battle soon be came a route. _ _ LOUISVILLE, July 26, 1861. A dispatch from Richmond, 22d, says : Soon after prayer in the Confederate Congress, the following dispatch was read to that body : MANASSAS JUNCTION, Sunday night. Night having closed upon a hard fought field, our forces were victorious. The enemy was routed, and fled precipitately, abandoning a large amount of arms, ammunition, knapsacks, and baggage. The ground was strewed for miles with those killed, and the farm houses and the ground around were filled with wounded. Pursuit was continued along several routes towards Leesburg and Centre ville, until darkness covered the fugitives. We have captured several field batteries, stands of arms, and Union and State flags ; many prisoners have been taken. Too high praise cannot be bestowed ; whether for the skill of the principal officers or for the gallan try of all our troops. The battle was mainly fought on our left. Our force was 15,000, that of the enemy estimated at 35,000. (Signed) JEFFERSON DAVIS. . _ Another dispatch says the entire Confederate force was about 40,000, and the entire forces of the United States near 80,000. No particulars are received of the dead and wounded. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says, though some would fain deny it, yet it is undeniable that Fairfax Court House is again in possession of the Secession troops. It is said and credited that Johnston, although numbered among the dead by many, is there in person with upwards of 15,000 troops. BRITISH POSSESSIONS. Closing Price.

ANNOYING A BARMAID.—LOVE'S REVENGE.--Thomas Crawford, a butler, 19, George-street, Grosvenor-square, was charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance at the Valiant Trooper, Geodge-street, Tottenham-court road. The defendant went to the house the previous night, and, notwithstanding he was twice ejected, returned and created a disturbance, and at length was given in charge by John Wright, the barman, who saw him attempt to strike the barmaid. Elizabeth Wilson, the barmaid, said she formerly carried on a correspondence with the defendant, but had broken it off, and every time the defendant got drunk he came and annoyed her by saying all sorts of things, and throwing money at her. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that was rather an odd proceeding. Defendant said he remembered nothing at all about it. He merely called at the house, because he was acquainted with the young lady. Ordered to find a surety in £lO for two months. SERIOUSLY ASSAULTING AN AGED FEMALE.--William Fisher, a young man described as a waiter, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting a female about 80 years of age, named Sarah Cockburn, living at 201, Cleve land-street, Fitzroy-square. Edward Fenn, residing opposite Mrs. Cockburn, said that on the previous evening he saw the old lady trying to close her door and the prisoner pushing it open. He then saw the prisoner make a rush at her and knock her down. He instantly collared the prisoner, and detained him till the arri'ral of a constable. The following certificate was handed to Mr. Tyrwhitt, " Middlesex Hospital. "I certify that Mrs. Sarah Cockburn is in this hospital and unable to have in consequence of injuries. " Wm. WILLIS, Surgeon." Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner would have to find two sureties in to appear in a week, for which time he would be remanded, and he hoped the old lady would not die in the meantime.—Remanded. THAMES. AUDACIOUS HIGIIWAY ROBBERY.--John Smith, a dirty looking youth, well known to the police as a Spitalflelds thief and burglar, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing a gold watch, value 18 guineas, from the person of Mr. W. E. Westrup, residing at 14, Coborn street, Bow-•road. Mr. Westrup said that last night, about 9 o'clock, he was walking up the Mile-end-road when the prisoner suddenly pushed against him and made a snatch at his watch, with which he made off across a field. He pursued him, and the prisoner was taken in Tredegar-square and given into custody. Police-sergeant Dillon, No. 19 said that the prisoner was a well-known and desperate thief, and had actually made an attempt to rob another gentleman in the road a few minutes before he snatched Air. estrup's watch. The gentleman on whom the first attack was made allowed the prisoner kanFdohreth, a boy who saw the robbery directly afterwards attacked Mr. Westrup and stole his watch in th e pu b l i c road. committed, confirmed the statement o f Mr. Westrup. William his F l r ib ed er eri ty : Dillon—The prisoner threatened t o murder this l a d j us t now in the passage of the cou r t if he gave any evidence against him. The police-sergeant then produced a smart grey coloured cap, which he found in prisoner's pocket, and said the prisoner had a black one on his head, and no doubt if he had lost sight of his pursuers for an instant, he would have substituted the grey cap for th e black one, and when seen again, would have rendered his identity very doubtful. Mr. Woolrych—We must not draw an inference of that kind, although it is very possible that was his intention. George Clark, No. 85 K, said he found the prosecutor's watch this morning at 5 o'clock in the garden in front of a house in Tredegar -square, close to where the prisoner was stopped. Dillon said the prisoner had been convicted two or three mes of felony. Mr. Woolrych—Bring proof of his former convictions when the prisoner isbrought up again. He is now remanded for a week.

BRIGHTON RACES.—(This Day.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) PAVILION PLATE. _ Rockley • 1 Overton OO a• • Lopcatcher TILE BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL. The following are some of the most important changes made in the law :—Non-traders are to be liable to the bankruptcy laws in respect to future debts. The seizure and sale of the goods of a debtor under an execution for a debt above £5O will be an act of bankruptcy, and all such sales must be by public auction, duly advertised. Percentages are no longer to be taken from bankrupts' estates, and the official assignees and messengers are to be greatly reduced in number, and paid by fixed salaries. At the first meeting under a bankruptcy, the creditors may remove the proceedings to any County Court, or, if they think fit, determine to wind up the estate under a private arrange ment, and also decide whether the bank rupt shall have any and what allowance for support. The official assignee is to collect the debts not exceeding £lO, and the Court is to order in whose custody the books and papers belonging to the estate shall be deposited. The creditors are to determine whether tho estate shall be realised by any official assignee or assignees chosen by them selves, and in the latter case may allow them the assistance of a paid manager. All moneys received by the assignees are to be forthwith paid into the Bank of England to the account of the accountant in bankruptcy, and in country districts where there shall be no branch of the Bank of England, then into such other bank as the Court shall direct. The creditors' assignee must every three months submit a statement of his accounts, with vouchers, to the official assignee for examination, and after such accounts h ave b een passe d th e official assignee is to send a pri n t e d copy th ereo f, or a s t a t e ment showing the nature and result of the transactions and accounts of the assignee, to every creditor who has proved under the bankruptcy. The proof of debts may be made by sending to the assignee through the general post a statement of such debt and of the account, if any, between the creditor and the bankrupt, together with a declaration signed by the creditor that such statement is a full, true, and complete statement of acc oun t s b etween them. False declaration is to be a misdemeanour. All state ments of accounts are to be compared with the books and papers of the bankrupt by the assignees. The classification of certificates is abolished, and th e bankrupt after the passing of his last examination is to be entitled to an order of discharge, V ery stringent penal clauses are provided, and for a variety of offences the Court may summarily order imprisonment for any period not exceeding one year, or may refuse or suspend the order of discharge, or attach conditions thereto as to future property. For offences made misdemeanours under the act bank rupts may be tried in the court, with or without a jury, at the option of th e b an k ru pt, and on convic tion may be imprisoned for any term not exceeding three years, and be liable to any greater punish ment attached to the offence by any existing statute. The Court may direct the creditors assignee, official assignee, or any creditor to act as prosecutor, and the costs of such prosecution will be borne in the same manner as the expenses of prose cutions for felonies are now borne ; and other costs incurred by such prosecutor not so defrayed are to be paid out of the Accountant-General's Fund. Most important facilities are afforded to enable a debtor and his creditors to effect private arrange ments under trust or composition deeds. A majo rity of creditors in number, including three-fourths in value, may, on execution of a deed of arrange ment, and registering it in the Court, bind a mino rity, and are to have the use of the Court in all cases in which they shall require its assistance to decide questions as to disputed claims, or any dif ferences that may arise between the parties inte rested in the debtor's estate. The Court is not, how ever, to interfere in any manner except its aid is invoked by some person having a direct interest in the matter. Every deed of composition must be registered. There can scarcely be a doubt that these alterations in the law will not only greatly lessen the expenses attending bankruptcy proceedings, but will be most acceptable to the mercantile classes, releasing them from the official trammels with which those proceedings have hitherto been invested. It is believed that a bill will be brought in next ses sion to consolidate the law in one statute. THE INCOME AND PROPERTY TAX. THE BEGISTRAR-G-ENERAL'S ANN UAL _RETORT. The twenty-second annual report of the Registrar General of Births, Deaths, and Marriages in Eng land, has just been published. In 1858 the names of 335,446 men and women were inscribed on the marriage registers ; of 689,881 children on the re gisters of births ; and of 440,781 parsons of all ages on the registers of deaths. The total number of names enrolled during the year amounted to nearly a million and a half (1,466,108). O n an average of twenty-twoyears there was 1 d eat h to 45 living in the population, 1 birth to 30 livi ng , and 1 person married to 61 living; and these proportions in the year 1859, became 1 in 45, 1 in 29, and 1 in 59; or, more exactly, the mortality on the population was 2.236 ner cent. on an average, and nearly the same (2.232) in 18:59 ; the average birth rate was 3 . 305, the rate in 1859 being higher (3.494) ; the aver age marriage rate was 1.636, and the rate in the last year also higher P 698. The marriages in the year exceeded by 11,653 the marriages in the preceding year; the births were 34,400 in excess ; and the deaths 8,875 in defect. Consequently, the excess of births over deaths in the year was 43,275 above the excess in the preceding year, and amounted to 249,100! This was the natural recorded increase of the population of England and Wales. The emigrants of English origin amounted to about 40,245. To this extent, therefore, the natural increase is diminished by emigration. Upon the other hand, while the Emigration Commissioners record the departure of 120,432, they record the return of 19,913 emigrants to the United Kingdom; and there is probably a constant influx of the popu lation of Scotland and Ireland into England and Wales ; so that the census alone will enable us to strike the exact balance. 167,723 marriages were registered in the year ; 136,210 according to the rites of the Established Church, and 31,513 not according to those rites. Of the marriages in the Church, 19 were by special license, 20,345 by licence, 107,737 by banns, and 4,204 upon superintendent registrars' certificates. The clergy omitted in 3,905 cases to state whether the marriage was by licence or by banns. The marriages by banns increased more rapidly than the marriages by licence, and were in proportion to those by licences as 5,296 to 1. Of the marriages not according to the rites of the Established Church 12,519 were by Protestant Dis senters, 7,756 by Roman Catholics, 70 by Quakers, and 324 by Jews ; 10,844 marriages, exceeding those of the Roman Catholics, were performed in superintendent registrars' offices. 137,000 bachelors married as many spinsters in the year, and 8,161 widowers married the same num ber of widows ; 7,058 bachelors also married widows, and 15,493 spinsters married widowers; conse quently, 23,654 widowers and 15,219 widows re married. Of 100 men marryi`eg, 14.10 were widowers ; of 100 women marrying, 9.07 were widows. 10,397 young men and 32,041 young women under 21 years of age married in the year ; so of 100 men, 6.20, and of 100 women, 19.10 were minors. 44,807 men and 63,127 women signed the married registers with marks ; so that of 335,446 persons in the prime of life 227,512 could write their names more or less distinctly; and 107,934 signed with marks, or 32.2 per cent. signed with marks. Of the women, 37 . 6 in 100, of the men, 26.7 in 100 signed with marks; so that the women do not write in the same proportion as men. It is gratifying to trace the progress of education since 1841, when 32.7 men and 48.8 women in every 100 signed with marks, to 1859, when the proportions fell to 26.7 and 37 . 6 respectively ; so that of persons at the age of marriage, 6.0 more men, and 11.2 more women in 100 now write their names than wrote 18 years ago. 4,228 places of public worship were open for the solemnisation of marriages, and registered on 31st December, 1859. This number exceeds by 156 the number on the register at the same date of the previous year. The marriages were most numerous after harvest in the Christmas quarter of the year, and in the spring quarter of the year, and in the spring quarter, including the months of April, May, and June. The marriage rate is lowest in the Lent quarter, ending in March, when the produce of the year is partly consumed. VISIT OF PRINCE ALBERT TO PORTLAND. SUSSEX STAKES. Antwerp Barb Figeon Six ran.

GOLD TO AMERICA.—The Liverpool, New York, an d Philadelphia Steamship Company's screw steamer Edii burgh sailed from Liverpool yesterday for New York. Besic les the United States mails she took out about 60 c a bin . Jengera, and had £3,000 in gold on freight* The registered births, which declined in the previous year, rose to 689,881 in 1859. The increase is 34,400. The birth rate of the year is 3.494, or 1 in 29. .352,662 boys and 337,219 girls were born ; and 15,443 more boys than girls, the proportion being 1,046 boys to 1,000 girls ; so that the pro portions were nearly 22 boys to 21 girls. The pro portion of births in the several seasons of the year varied. Thus, if we take the average births of each quarter at 1,000, the proportional births in the four quarters of the year are represented by the numbers 1,032, 1,022, 968, and 978. These proportions differ from year to year; but the births in the first exceed those in the second six months of the year. 44,751 children were born out of wedlock, or 6.5 per cent. of the children born alive, and so registered as to allow the distinction to be drawn. On in every 15 children is in this con dition, and has to encounter the hardships in cidental to it ; for hitherto mankind have treated the innocent children with the opprobrium which properly attaches only to the parents. To 100 girls, 105.7 boys were born out of wedlock ; whereas to 100 girls 104.5 boys were born in wedlock. Tile number of deaths was less by 8,875 than the deaths in the year preceding ; and the rate of mor tality (2.232) was slightly below the average, 2.236. it is nearly expressed by one death to every 45 of the population. The mortality of males was at the rate of 2300, and females at the rate of 2.167 per cent. annually. The deaths of males were to the deaths of females as 103 to 100; and out of equal numbers of the two sexes the proportions became 106 to 100. The rate of mortality under 10 years of d age was higher than usual in both sexes , generally lower at the more advanced ages. The winter was the most fatal of the four quarters. A SPLIT IN THE ItIORMOIV CAMP. A correspondent of a Cincinnati paper, writing from Fort Crittenden on the 18 th of June, says : - hand,“l am fe s r at t i b sfi e e d d iv t i h s a io t n th b e ss d s o l w re n s f d a y ll o o o f 1 n ß i n r i e g n h c a e m d . Weber county, near Ogden City, there i s a is n e In at w t and says there is a . reve lation arisen by the name of , Joseph Morris. He has written many books, the judgments of God are to come e upon this lation from God against this people. issays people, that the year 1861, and Brigham and the authorities that God is going to destroy this church within around him, almost all, believe The people the wicked leaders of tpnriosp place.het of God.l in him as a true joined him, He lives about 80 miles from am told that there are a good many that believe in the new organisation, who have and that there is not a person who goes to see him who does not join him. He says that God has called him to deliver this people out of bondage. If so, I would say Amen to it, for they need deliverance. He creates much excitement. I am of opinion that he is the man to bring forth that bloody conflict which the Prophet Joseph fore saw, for the Brigamites are already threatening him and his followers with extermination. I believe all the branch of the church where be lives have joined him, even the bishop (Richard Cook) and his counsellors. People are going from all parts of the territory to see him. He keeps two men (his counsellors) doing nothing but waiting on his visitors, and teaching them the new doctrine. There is much rumour about the troops leaving Utah. They expect to be ordered to leave every day. Letters came here by the Pony Express, M a y 29, from Livingston to his partner, Mr. Bell, stating that an order was issued in Washington, May 21, to call the troops into t he s tates from this place anc ever since the quartermaster has been making phraes parations to start when the order c omes not arrived. There are thousands of poor who wish for the troops to remain comes, but people here until they can o btain teams to take them away, leave they will not know what troops leave do. There oo many, yes, very many poor familie • s who w ish pes _. they were out of Utah. No man suffer in this territory butthose who knows how poor pe o p le experience it. I have had eno ug h of it, andl do not intend to stay here after th e troops leave, one m inute, if possible to - e-e t away, for Brigham's minions, even now, are threatening the : apo s t a t e s and disaffected , Las they did before the troops came here, saying they will dock them a few inches below the ears. Yes ; hun dreds of times I have heard those words come from the lips of those who were in authority, and some would speak plainer and say, ' If you don't do as we tell you we will cut your d—d throats,' The poor had to shut their mouths when they saw their tyranny. 1, with thousands more, came here with pure motives, thinking that we were doing the will of God, but I found my mistake. Instead of arriving in Zion, I found the place to be a den of thieves and robbers, the bishops and presidents cheating and robbing the poor in every way they can. I see men who come from 100 to 200 miles seeking for work to get a little clothing for themselves and their feud" lies, being half naked, with their feet sticking out of their shoes. It makes my heart ache. You said in your letterthat you were expecting that Brigham will become more tyrannical. He will if the troop 0 go away, for he has commenced it. He has beta through all the settlements, telling the people not to sell anything to the soldiers, and if they do they will be cut off from the church, an d perhaps from the earth if the troops leave."
