..~ --' ~ - _ MONEY MARKET AND 00111111ERCIAL IN'rELLIGEINTO.E. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Ma;ket yesterday closed quietly, but prices were steady. The sales were 10,000 bales, one-half on speculation and for ex port. The Railway Share Market opened with a dull and quiet aspect, but closed at its best point. The Colonial Produce Markets have been rather more active this week, and the prices of some articles have improved. Sugar has been purchased freely, both for export and for home use, and Prices have risen 6d. to ls. per cwt. The coffee market is active, and also 6d. to Is. higher. The Stock of this article in the principal ports of Europe eu the Ist inst. was estimated at 74,890 tons, against 75,660 tons last year and 75,180 tons in 1854. Cocoa has been dull, rice 3d. per cwt. dearer, spices have been steady, tea is quiet, and tallow heavy. Saltpetre has been firm, with a steady de tusud. The Belgian Moniteur publishes the returns of the State railways in that kingdom for the month of July last, compared with the corresponding Period in 1855, which exhibit a decrease of about 12,000 tons in the merchandise transported, also in baggage and treasure, and a considerable dimi nution in the number of animals. The following a te the chief items :—Total receipts in July 2, 384 ,730 f. against 2,131,752 f. in 1855 ; ditto for the six months previous 10,570,854 f. against 10 ,441,723 f. in 1855. The increase is mainly "jog to the passenger traffic, and the telegraphic receipts for the month amounted to 32,887 f. Accounts from Berlin of the 10th inst. mention that the Bank of Darmstadt, which had taken the leitiative of forming a general congress of all the 4 erman banks, has addressed a circular to the larious banking establishments in Germany, in l'itieg them to send delegates to the conference for t he purpose of drawing up certain general principles relative to the circulation, such as reciprocal con ditions of accepting bank noteq bills of exchange, a Common monetary unit, &c. This idea is, how tver, but coldly received at Berlin, and is not ex- Aected to be realised. The Bank of England return for the week ending t he l'th inst. is not very favourable, a further ma terial reduction being apparent in the stock of bullion. The reserve of notes, however, has not s eriously diminished, but there is a large addition te th e other securities. The following exhibits the Wecipal changes Active Circulation ..

Giles, of this port, 'as attacked by pirates in June last, in the Canton Itiver. The Rajah of Sarawak was bound from Calcutta Whamposa. The particulars of the attack are thus d escribed in a letter from Capt. Giles to his friends The ship was attacked by pirates coming up the river. ,7 4 , however, beat them off without losing one of our men, but killed eight of the pirates. There were 40 men in the pirate proa, 32 of whom made their escape, t he their boat sank before reaching the shore , from `ne effect of our nine-pound grape." BLAST or 12,000 ToNs.—The great limestone quarries at Penderry, in the Vale of Neath, have been the scene .?fa blast which has detached the enormous mas s of 12 ,000 tons of solid rock. An old chamber was cleared %lit to an extent of 10 yards, and half a ton of powder ,%8 placed therein. The match having been lighted, in 41 tributes the explosion took place, which drove out a mess of rock 20 yards square, and immediately the whole Ace of the rock, 120 feet in height, rolled down and the quarry below. The calculations range as high as 15,000 tons, stones 250 tons being detached sepa rately- These quarries are the property of Mr. Wm. erawahay, and supply great quantities of limestone to the adjacent ironworks. PINLAND.—A letter from Wiborg, in Finland, of the 29th ult., says :—" One of the most collossal enterprises ever undertaken in Finland, the construction of a canal rota Siama to Wiborg, has just been terminated, after t,qelve years' uninterrupted labour, though sixteen had ”en considered necessary. This immense canal, which has innumerable branches, places the interior of Finland, Where there are scarcely any roads, in (Fred communi ektion with the Gulf of Bothnia. The length of it, in () tidi n g the branches, is equal to a third of the total ength of Finland. PEMBROKE DOCKTARD.—Great additions and altera tions are being made at Pembroke Dockyard. The pre sent dry dock is being widened and lengthened, so as to keet the requirements of our new class men-of-war. Two new slips for ship-building are in course of erec tion ; these are being made of huge blocks of limestone, With copings of granite. Other slips are being length ened to meet the increased size of the ships, and the Consequence is a great increase seaward of the establish ment. The lengthening and widening of the dock this Year cost 10,0001., and the new slips and boat basin Will take 14,000/. The entrance of the dock is to be Widened, at an expense of 5,0001.

Witness stopped her, arid asked her what she had been doing with the-e children, when she replied that they were her own, and she was going to take them home to 41, Union-strett. Witness looked under her shawl, and found the two pinafores produced, when they went back to the children, who were too young to tell their parents' address. They, however, told Lim that the prisoner was not their mother. DOW-STREET. ATTEMPT TO SHOOT A POLICEMAN BY A BOY.—A lad named Beaumont, aged 15, was this morning placed at the bar, charged with attempting to shoot Police constable 4 F. London & N. West. L&N.W. Calodon E. Urn. & E. C Gt.Nrthn E. Count jCaldonian 97 - 100 ..00 - 105 Mr. Thomas Naylor stated that last evening he, with with his wife, went to Chancery-lane, the residence of the prisoner's mother, who is a relative of his (witness's) wife, to ascertain the state of her health, she being in the last stage of consumption. While he was there the prisoner began to use very bad language, which had a very serious effect upon his mother, who was in bed in the apartment. He remonstrated with the prisoner, and told him he ought not to act in the way he was doing, for the sake of his mother. He continued to use dis gusting language, and he (witnes) boxed his (prisoner's) ears, when he turned round and attacked him with a knife, which be took from him. The prisoner then stooped down and picked up the poker, with which he was about to strike him, but he closed with him, and knocked it out of his band, but not before ho received a blow on the temple, the mark of which was visible. The sister of the prisoner was so greatly alarmed at his outrageous conduct that it was deemed advisable to send for a policeman. He went down stairs with the intention of getting a policeman to frighten the boy, as he thought if he gave him in charge it would have a fatal effect on his mother. A policeman came up, and he mentioned the circumstance to him, and the constable went up stairs. In a very short time after, while at the foot of the stairs, he heard a slight report. Police constable 4 F said he was on duty last night in Chancery-lane, and at about half-pest eight he passed the house in which the prisoner resided, No. 30, and sew Naylor talking to a constable. He stopped, and he then heard the first witness say he had taken a knife from the boy, but he did not wish to charge him as his mother was so ill. While he was at the door Naylor's wife came down stairs and said she must give the boy in charge, as it was not safe to have him in the house, and she then asked him to come in and take him into custody. He entered the house and went up stairs, and saw the prisoner standing in the passage of the first floor, and the female said to him, "That's him." He was about to take the boy into custody, when he said, " Wait a minute," and be then ran into the kitchen, and his sister screamed and said he had got a pistol. Before he could get the weapon from him he levelled it at him and pulled the trigger ; bat, fortunately, the percussion cap only exploded. He then seized the prisoner, and the pistol having been secured by his father, he (constable) asked if it was loaded, and the prisoner said "Yes." He was standing about a yard and a half from the boy when he shot at him. The prisoner was then taken to the staton house,and on his being searched a smallquantityof gunpow der and a box containing some small shot and percussion caps was found on him. The pistol was a double-bar relled one, and on the charge being drawn at the sta tion-house it was found to have been properly loaded, and contained about, 30 small shots. Oa his way to the station-house the prisoner said that either his brother or sister would have been served the same way if they had been first. He also said the powder was damp, and that he only acted as he had done to frighten people. Mr. Jardine asked the boy what he had to say in answer to the charge. 12 - 14 139 - 141 4 ... 4i James Thomson said he resided at No. 21, Horsley place, Belvedere road, and that the chiidren, Richard and Robert, belonged to him. They strayed from borne on Monday afternoon with their pinafores on, and in the evtiuing he found they had been stolen from thew. lie identified the two pinafores produced as his pro perty. Gt.

She said that one day the week before last the prisoner met kcr and two other girls in the `Vestuiin6ter•rsad, and asked them to accompany her to Kennington•park. They all went there, and while sitting on one of the benches the prisoner took off their shoes, bonnets, and shawls, saying that she was going to show them to a lady, who would send them back new ones. She then went away, but never returned. The two tither girls here identified her also, but they were too young to be sworn as witnesses. The mothers of the children said that they sent them out , s ith all their clothes on, and the poor things were brought hone nearly naked and crying very much. The prisoner, who laughed nearly all the time the ex amination was going on, said in the most impudent manner that the children, as well as all the other wit nesses, were liars. She knew nothing of them. A former conviction having been proved against her for similar robberies, the magistrate fully committed her for trial at the ensuing sessions. Peto & Co. Norfolk Do L. & N.

Mr. Naylor asked the magistrate if he would deal in a summary manner with the case. Mr. Jardine—You might as well ask me to deal sum marily with a case of murder. The offence with which the prisoner is charged is next to it. If the pistol had gone off, the officer would no doubt have been killed. Mr. Naylor.—l think his intellect is not so clear as it ought to be. The father of the boy, a very respectable man, being in court, the magistrate desired 11;m to come forward, and he then put the question to him whether he thought the mind of his son was dtsordered. The father said ho had not the slightest reason to 158 162, think so. The depositions were then read over and signed, the witnesses were severally bound over, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH STREET. A SUSPICIOUS CAM—Joseph Howard, a middle-aged man, who described himself as a metal dealer, residing at No. 5, Liverpool-road, King's•cross, was brought be fore Mr. Bingham, charged with having a large quantity of metal in his possession, supposed to have been stolen. Police constable 75 F deposed that about ten o'clock that morning he was ou duty in Crown-street, when he saw the prisoner approaching him with a bag con taining something heavy across his shoulders. Witness watched him for a few minutes, and saw him enter a marine store shop in the same street kept by a man named Church. Witness fcllowed him and saw him shoot A quantity of brass taps, bells, and pewter measures into the scales. Witness asked the prisoner where he got the metal from, and he then said he was a metal collector, and had bought it in the usual way of business. Not being satis fied with that answer, he took the prisoner into custody. On examining the articles he found a quart pot, with the name of Argent, Cock and Bottle, Strand, engraved thereon, several pounds weight of 'run metal, and a number of bells and brass taps; the whole of which he now produced. The prisoner denied that the metal was stolen, he pur chased the run metal of Frederick Knowlton, a marine store dealer, in the Broadway, Westminster, for 6d. a pound, and the pewter pot be bought of Knowlton's brother, in Holles-street, Clare .✓Market ; the rest of the metal he picked up in the regular way of business.

THAMES. THE SWELL MOD AND THE REV. MR. SPURGEON AT TRINITY CHAPEL, POPLAR.—John, Thomas, Edward Reynolds, and Alex. Fitzwilliam, three well-dressed and active young men, were brought before Mr. Selfe charged with being at Trinity Chapel, East India-road,' Poplar, for the purpose of committing felonies. Police-constable Copping, No. 379 K, stated that the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon was preaching at Trinity Chapel, East India-road, Poplar, last night, and the place was crowded to excess, and it was necessary to have a large force of police to preserve order and to prevent rob beries. About half-past 7 o'clock the prisonea came up the portico of the chapel, where many persons were collected who could not gain admission. They stopped a few minutes and then Went into the East India-road. A few minutes afterwards Fitz william came to the chapel again, and mixed with tho crowd at the door. He asked him what he wanted there I To which he re plied that he came there for the same purpose as others, to hear, Mr. Spurgeon preach. Ile took him into custody. Christopher Lloyd, 297 K, saw Reynolds and Thomas mix with the congregation close to the door of the chapel, when they came there a second time. Their movements were very suspicious, and ho took them into custody. Thomas Townehend, 54 H, knew Reynolds and Fitz wiiliam. former was convicted fur pocket picking, at the Mansion•house, a year ago, an 1 sentenced to two months' imprisonment and hard labour, and was sub sequently convicted at the Worship-street Police-court, and sentenced to 3 months' hard labour. He knewthem to be the associates of thieves. A few days since Fitz wit h= and two others jumped out of a Blackwall omnibus, and ran away without paying the fare. Directly after wards a gentleman in the omnibus complained he had lost his watch. The prisoner Fitz Ailliara was afterwards captured, but the gentleman's watch was not recovered, and he was dismissed. William Barry, 77 11, was present several months ago when Reynolds was convicted. . Inspector Weakford, II division, saw Reynolds in custody three weeks ago, in company with two females, on a charge of picking pockets. Several officers knew Thomas to be the constant associate of thieves. The prisoners, in defence, said they went to the chapel to hear a sermon, not to commit felonies, and the po:ice could not take them into cu.tody for going into the chapel while it was raining. Mr. Selfe—But you are in custody ; a n d sentence d Fitztivilliamn to three mouths', Reynolds to two months', and Thomas to one month's, imprisonment with hard labour. SOUTHWARK. ROBBING CHILDREN.—COMMITTAL OP AN EXPERT THIEF.—Emma Smith, a young female, well known to the police as an expert thief, of light compl ex i on , an d weak eyes, was brought up fur final examination, charged with robbing a number of youwg children of their clothing. The Court was densely crowded with parents and their children to identify the prisoner Te:ere were no less than thirty cases against her, but only three were entered into. , John Meek, 48 M, raid that on Monday afternoon last he was oh duty mar the Blind School in the Lon don-road, when he saw the prisoner leading two young c . iildren along the Lambeth•road Having some amp • cion as to her intention he watched her, and saw he RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EASTERN COUNTIES. The committee cf consultation, appointed on the 29th ult., at the half-yearly meeting of this company, for the purpose of consulting with the board of directors as to the retirement of four of their number, to make room for four gentlemen to be selected by the committee of consultation, subject to the approval of the shareholders, had their first interview with the Eastern Counties Board on Thursday, the 4th inst., Mr. C. Fanc presiding. It appears that the reception was by no means in accordance with the views of the committee. At the request of the chairman of the board, Mr. Malins, the chairman of the committee, handed in a written proposition, which was to the effect " That four members of the board should resign, agreeably to the reso lution of the general meeting of proprietors passed on the 29th ult." Tho committee report that to this proposition a verbal reply was sent out by the secretary (Mr. Owen), "that an answer would bo forwarded." The committee feeling that they were entitled to "confer" with the board, remonstrated at such summary treatment, and were again ushered into the board-room, when, after considerable pressure, Mr. Pane, to the astonishment of the committee, consented that the draught answer of the board should be then read on the following condition —"provided there was no discussion upon it." The secretary then read the fol lowing resolution :—" Resolved, that this board does not consider itself authorised, and therefore declines, to take any step in reference to the retirement or appointment of directors, the regulations relating to their retirement and appointment having been prescribed by Parliament." Mr. Malins then endeavoured to ask a question, when Mr. Pane replied, " You may ask any question you like. I shall not answer you." The committee then withdrew, not a little surprised at the discourteous treatment which they had received at the hands of the chairman of the directors. The committee now call upon the directors to summon a special general meeting for the purpose of carrying out the resolution passed at the last half-yearly meeting with reference to the retirement of four old, and the appointment of four new directors, and they protest against such resolution being set at nought. t=hould the board decline to accede to this request, the committee of consultation state that they will take the necessary steps to present a formal re quisition to the board, according to the act of Parliament, calling upon them to convene such meeting. The com mittee conclude their report by expressing an opinion, in which they trust the proprietors will concur, that the treatment which they, as a body delegated by a large meeting of shareholders, received at the hands of Mr. Pane was not such such as could be tolerated by gentle men under a prosperous state of affairs, much less under difficulties mainly attributable to an improper and reck less management.

Yesterday, a meeting for the despatch of a very full general paper of ordinary business was held in the Coun cil•chamber, Guildhall ; Mr. Thwaites, the president, in the chair. The chief-engineer, Mr. Bazalgette, presented about five-and-twenty reports in reference to complaints, memorials, and applications on the subject of sewerage. The majority of these reports presented no features of general interest, and wero disposed of without much discussion. The engineer reported, inter alia, that he had received a letter from the clerk to the vestry of Ber inondsey, calling attention t‘) the foul condition of St. Saviour's Dock and the• discharge of sewerage into it. In reference to this, Mr. Bazalgette stated that the ►ewer which had formerly discharge) its contents into the dock had recently been diverted, and that the only remedy that would now thoroughly free the dock would be either main drainage or the construction of the Thames embankment. Mr. DREW remarked that if the vestry of Bermondsey had to wait for effectual relief until either of the works specified were carried out, he feared that they would have to wait until they—the members of the board— were all dead. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) On the recommendation of the engineer, the board agreed to pay over 4001. to Mr. G. Axton upon his covering over a portion of the Stamford brook sewer, which work, it properly executed, would amount, in the opinion of the officer, to 1,0001. In reference to a complaint from the Seaman's hos pital Society of the discharge of offensive matter in the river ac Deptford Creek, near the Dreadnought Ship, a report was read from the Engineer, from which it ap peared that the nuisance most probably arose from the sewer of the adjoining gas works. A memorial was some time since received from the inhabitants of Hanover-square, Clapham-road, request ing the board to arch over a portion of the Effra sewer, in that locality. Upon this Mr. TURNER. said he thought an answer ought to be returned to the memorialists, stating that their applica tion could not ba granted, and informing them, at the same time, that the board had acceded to a similar peti tion from another quarter only on the parties themselves undertaking to pay the cost. A long discussion took place upon the proposition of the chief engineer, to construct 2,600 feet of main brick sewer in Kensington, at a cost of 3,5001. The recom mendation was based upon theoomplaint of Mr. Dolman and others, of the flooding of h ouses b y the insufficiency of the sewer in Pembroke-road, Kensington. Several members thought that the board ought not to decide upon sanctioning so large an expenditure, when an under:lW ding bad been come to among the members that no large work should be undertaken h-fore Octo- ber. Mr. LESLIE more especially opposed any immediate action, on the ground that the great question of pipe and brick sewers was involved in this matter, and that the board ought not to proceed to construct so costly a brick sower without a full inquiry into the cau,,o of the failure of the old main pipe sewer.

Not with stilnding the extraordinary expenditure of - 60,000/. fGr premiums on bullion, the total stock has experienced a d:minuti n of 469.000/ , and now stands at 9,400.000/. The recovery of 620,0001. shown in the last retur n from the fuss in t;l3 r,reviow month of 2,000,000/., and which was obtained at a cost of 46,000/. for premiums, is there fore rapidly disappearing, although the efforts to eupply the draM have been greater than ever. The only fa your able feature of the present return is that, instead of showng, as has sometime been the case, an increase of circulation in the faco of declining !twang, it exhibits a large c T.traction under that he ad, as well as in dis counts and leans. Thus there is a diminution of 757.000/. in the notes issued, 910,0001. in the discounts, 450,0001, in the advance on stocks, and 70,0001. in the advances on railway shares. This withdrawal of ac commodation has, of course. afT,cted the deposits, which sh )w art duction of 1,860,0001. In the Tremury ha. la:xes there is an inaea:e et 667,000/.

Thispopu'ar tradesmen's club intends winding its sea son up with two watches, making four of this season, which is an unusually large number, and displays the rising prosperity of the club. All interests, as will be i•een below, have been studied—one having as great a chance as another, and we may, therefore, confidently say that both the races, which are paired•oared ones, will be most capitally contested. The following is a list of the competitors, viz. : First Race.—Among First and Second Class Men. Blue.—Messrs. R. Ayckbourne and G. Jones. Red.—Messrs. J. Amor and G. Hirst. Black.—Messrs. C. Lockett and R. Bains. White.—Messrs. T. Day and R. Miller. All the above ars very evenly matched ; but, if there is any advantage, Mr. Robert Bains (the celebrated rower) and his partner have get it. Second Race. —Among Third and Fourth Class Men. Red.—Messrs. Woodbridge and J. Borrows. White.—Messrs W. Mil:s, jun., and E. Tuttle. Blue.—Messrs. R. Whittaker and R. Judham. Yellow.—Mess! W. Mills, sen., and F. Knight. Green.—Messrs. F. Miller and C. Glenister. As the distribution is ;:o capital, we may also safely say that this will be a good race. The matches are for silver cups, ansi will be started respectively at three and four o'clock on Thursday the 25th inst., the distance being from Battersea to Lpnabeth Palace. Mr. Morton, of the Canterbury Hall, has, with his usual liberality, given Si. towards the prizes. GROUND TO LET. Io an account of a bankrupt's final examination, ' recently published, it appears the petitioning cre ditor, who was the mortgagee of nearly all the bankrupt's property, had agreed to lease some land to the bankrupt,had induced him to expend 4,0001. of his own money ou it, to got largely into debt in covering this land, and had proposed to the bank. rupt to assign the whole of his property to him, and ti•en to go through the Bankruptcy Court, promising him, after he should have obtained his certificate, to give him " 1,000/. to begin again" with. Without going into the truth of this raatterf it would be a great benefit to the building trade if you would warn them against such machinations, as it is well known there are many who press upon poor and industrious builders, and serve them in the same way. The plan adopted by these worthies is to take a large plot of land, and then underlot it, not by advertising it, but by getting an agent for building materials to " look up" customers at a I premium of from 1/. to 31. per plot. He meets ' with an industrious man who has been a few years in business, and has hitherto paid his way and is in tolerably good credit ; and as a groat secret to the victim, tells him a friend of his has somevery eligible land to let, and that he (the agent) will introduce him ; that he can get him a couple of houses to build at a fair, price if he will take ground for six ; and that his (the agent's) friend will advance from 74. to 80/. per cent. on the buildings, which will be sufficient to finish them, as he (the agent) is in a position to get his (the builder's) materials for ( him at a cheap market—will be happy to serve him J in that or any other way, and will make no charge for his services ; but if he (the builder) can come to terms with his friend, and can afford a few pounds out of so good a thing, he will "of course" take it. This is often paid on the signing of the agreement, the usual fee being 51. from the poor builder, and 1/. per house from the landlord. The builder begins his operations, and if able to finish the first pair, and lot them, the landlord advances on the leases, and so keeps on until all his (the builder's) money and credit are exhausted, and then advises him, through the agent or by himself, to go to the Bankruptcy Court, with a promise to make it all right when he has passed through the ordeal. If all the builders who have passed through the court for the last ten or fifteen years dared to make it known, three-fourths of them would ac knowledge the truth of these statements.—ONE OF THE VICTIALISED.—The Builder. GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. GLOUCESTER, Friday.—Last night's concert at the Shire Hall was crowded by a most fashionable and dis tinguished company. there was full eiloral serrca at the cathedral again last night, and to-day at S o'clock a.m. Thene was a general rush this morning to listen to the " Messiah" of Handel. Not only was the whole area of the spacious nave of the cathedral filled, but numbers had to fin :! sitting room i n th e choir, where the singe,' were invisible. The number of tickets sold to-day was 2,770. Mr. Sims Reeves opened this sublime oratorio in a most commanding and impressive style. The difficult scug, " Thus saith the Lord," was allotted to Mr. Thomas, who impressed the audience most favourably. Mrs. Loctzey's fine voice told with great effect in " 0 thou that tellest," but, unfortunately, there was a detrao• tion at the commenzeinent caused by an omission in her navy. Madame Novel!o's singing it is quite superfluous to praire. The p,rforrnanco of the cratorio was brought to an end about half-past f air, at which four hundred of people we re collected at the College-green to witness the depar ture of the visitors of the CaLnedral for the last tim e. The collection at the doors of the cathedral to-day in aid of the charity amounted to 319/. 58. 83. The amount col kcted at the cathedral doors will he increased by further donations yet to he received, and it will, no doubt, ex c6ed the amount collected last year.
