It 10 N_E MARKET AND CIT E tif CITY, Two O'CLOCK. About £133,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday, making the total influx since the date of the last return amount to £689,000. The Ottoman Railway Company (from Smyrna to Aidin) have received a telegram announcing the opening of a further portion of the line on the 9th inst., viz., to Gelat Cafe, 37 miles from Smyrna, and it was expected that the first section to Kosbounar would be opened on the 15th proximo. There was rather more animation in the Liver pool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices tended upwards. The sales were 12,000 bales. With regard to American Securities, the sub joined remarks are from the circular published by Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite :—" The market in London for American Securities continues very dull. The character of the advices lately received from New York has induced a great amount of distrust, and the disposition to sell appears to increase. Erie shares are offering at 22, and Preferred Stock at 43, without meeting buyers. Illinois shares have touched 391 discount, and Construction Bonds, 814 ; this price includes the coupon of 3 dollars, due Ist October. In Federal and States Stock there is but very little doing." The Money Market during the last few days has shown a decided tendency in the direction of in creased easiness. Large quantities of gold have been sent into the Bank of England, and bills have been discounted as low as 31 per cent. It was, therefore, imagined that the directors might deem it expedient to adjust their minimum quotation to. day at 31 per cent., but the weekly Court has not resulted in any alteration. The market for Public Securities opened this morning with a buoyant appearance, but the deal ings were rather restricted. At first an additional improvement of I per cent. took place, but it was not fully maintained. The quotations are s till rather higher than they were yesterday afternoon. Consols have been 934 94 for transfer, and 94 948 for the account, they are now a out 938 -& respec tively. The New Threes have improved to 918 92 ; the Reduced to 921; India 5 per Cent. Loan to lon 104 ; ditto New Loan Scrip, 103 i 1044-; ditto per Cent. Enfaced Paper is flat at 968 I; and ditto 54 Cent., 1031. _ _ Foreign Securities have shown increased buoy ancy, but the dealings have been rather restricted. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 82/ ; ditto 1858, 68/ a ; Mexican have further advanced to 221 23; Grenada Active to 16k-, 2 ; Portuguese to 47 ; and Spanish Deferred to 424-; Dutch 4 per Cents. are 1001. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1861.

She put long horse-hairs to some of the crockery, and wires under others ; on pulling or touching these of course the moveables fell. When she saw the effect of her first feats she was tempted to exercise her dexterity beyond the original purpose for mere amusement. She loosened the hams and bacon, attaching them by the skins, which soon gave way ; and she threw a chemical powder into the pail of water as she passed, after which it bubbled. She managed to throw down several articles with her own hands, and when the victims turned and saw them broken or in motion, they attributed it to unseen agency. In short, the only magic was the dexterity of the supposed witch, and—a very large feature in the case—the alarm of the spectators, whose terror at the time, and their conversations afterwards, magnified many of the circumstances and invented othtrs, and who were too full of their own dread of supernatural agency to be capable of examining anything, or even of a moderate degree of °beer vation.—Once a Week. T H E FATAL ACCIDENT IN A CANAL TUNNEL. — An inquest on the bodies of the two men, named Edward Broadbent and I Villiarn Webb, who lost l their lives in a canal tunnel, as reported in our column s y es t er d ay, h as been held. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased were accidentally suff)cated by the s mo k e in the tunnel. They al s o recommended the com p any to s i n k additiona l vent lating shafts. Two cases t,f offences against public morals, in which the accu sed were ecclesiastics , have just b een tried by the provincial courts of Assizes. In the Charente- Inferieure, Philip Delaurier, a brother of th e C hristian Doctrine, was i n di c ted for committing, indecent assaults on as many as 25 children, who attended the school kept by the brotherhood at Saintes. The offences were fully proved, and the ju r y h av i ng b roug ht i n a verdict of guilty, without extenuating circumstances, the Court sentenced the pri soner to hard labour for life.—The other case occurred in Loire-Inferieure, where a priest named Burbin was accused of indecent assaults, attended with violence, on the persons of two young women of the parish where he officiated. The evidence not being altogether conclusive on every point, the jury declared the prisoner not guilty, but the President of the Court, in pronouncing his acquittal, addressed him as follows :—" Burbin, you have heard the verdict of the jury. which declares you not guilty of the whole charge brought against you; but the offence of indecent conduct towards young women still subsists. You are free, but dishonoured ; you are no longe r wor thy t o b e t h e pr i est of soc i ety. " Th en turning to the gendarmes the President added, " Gen darmes, remove him I" ,sh!EiltE MARKEL—(TIIIB DAY). A RY SHAtt',7S AND STOCKS. Sttare Railways P a id . ' Closing Business ; Prize.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A CASE FOR THE DIVORCE COURT.—A sailor applied to Mr. Beadon for advice under the following circumstances : The applicant stated he had been out to Calcutta in one of Mr. Lindsay's ships, and while there was laid up in hospital with dysentery. He, however, remitted half his pay to his wife regularly, and on his return home was not a little surprised to find his wife living with another man, who, he understood, had received the money which he had sent home. At present he did not know where his wife and her companion were. Mr. Beadon said it was a case for the Divorce Court, but he had better discover his wife's abode first. The applicant left the court far from pleased at his posi tion and at the result of his application. " SHAKSPERE " AT Two IN THE MORNING.--TWO gentlemanly-looking young men, named Arthur and Chas. Fraser, 101, John-street, Mortimer-street, and connected with the theatrical world, were charged as follows : Hurst, 46 E, said he heard the defendants, with a num ber of others standing at tae corner of Mortimer-street, reciting Shakspero in a stentorian tone of voice at about two that morning. He desired them to move away, and all did so but the defendants. The defendant Charles then dared him to interfere with a gentleman, and said, " I com pel you to take me to the station house ;" and, as he would not go away, he took the defendants into custody. One of the defendants complained that he had been stuck by the officer, but this he denied. Mr. Beadon asked, if the defendants had any complaint to make against the officer, why they did not go away when desired, and afterwards lodge their complaint ? The defendants were ordered to enter into their recog nizances in the sum of £lO for three months. THE DREAnFUL COLLISION oy THE HAMPSTEAD JUNCTION LINE. Yesterday evening the jury, who had been for several days past engaged in inquiring into the cause of the death of the 14 persons who had lost their lives by the recent collision on the Hamp stead Juncton Railway, assembled at the Vestry hall of St. Pancras for the purpose of signing the return of the verdict which was delivered by them on Tuesday last. Mr. Humphreys, one of the coroners of the county of Middlesex, by whom the inquest has been conducted, informed the jury that the duty they then had to discharge was simply ministerial —that of signing the several remaining inquisi tions similar to the one they signed the preceding evening. The documents were then filled up and duly signed. The Coroner then asked Murray, the officer, whether he had been able to execute the warrant against Henry Rayner ? Mr. Murray said he had not yet been able to do so. The witnesses were then called in, and having answered to their names, were severally bound over to appear in support of the prosecution of the said Henry Rayner at the next session of the Central Criminal Court, to be holden at the Old Bailey. The Coroner, before retiring, said he was happy to be able to state that no more deaths had occurred. A juryman asked whether there was any likeli hood of any further deaths taking place ? The Coroner hoped not, and said the accounts which he had received were of a favourable cha racter, and that he was glad to state that Cox, the signalman on the North London Railway, a nd who was a passenger on the occasion, was doing well.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEI. Our market, to-day, was but moderately supplied with beasts, chiefly in middling condition. All breeds were in fair request, and Monday's prices were well supported, the general top figure being 4s 8d per 81bs. Sheep—the show of which was by no means extensive—met a slow inquiry, at previous rates. The best Downs and half-breds realised 5s 4d per 81bs. We have to report a dull inquiry for lambs, on rather easier terms. The top quotation was 5s 8d per Blbs. Calves moved off slowly, at late currencies. Pigs were quite as dear as on Monday, and there was rather more inquiry for mulch cows. Per Sib, to si s. d. s d.

Willey, the indefatigable chaplain of the 3d Connecticut Regiment, relates the fol lowing curious incident :—While the troops were resting at Centreville he concluded that, as they were about to ad vance on Manassas, it was of great importance that they should be cheered and encouraged in their work. Expect ing to remain at Centreville on Sunday, he selected the text and arranged the plan for a sermon to be preached to his regiment ; but, alas 1 the early march on Sunday morn ing defeated his purpose, and, although the text still re mains, the Sihrpon was never preached. It is sufficient to say that the text selected by Mr. Willey was that in Psalm ix, and 7th verse, " And Manabseh is mine." SPOjiING INTELLIGENCE. WARWICK RACES.-WEDNESDAY. The stand enclosure represented a busy scene during the morning, when a concout 7 ,--e of breeders, owners, and idlers took place under the rostrum of Messrs. Tattersall to wit ness the sale of blood stock. There were 41 lots led out under a bright sun, and 19 were sold. The stallion Ethel bert headed the list, and was bought in at a trifle under 2,000 guineas. One yearling realised 9:50 guineas, and a brood mare 650 guineas. The others did not fetch exorbi tant prices. The attendance was larger than that of Tues- I day, and the card gave promise of what was afterwards rea lised, a nice day's sport. A field of 13appeared for the Nur sery, and the two favourites ran first and second. The County Handicap had nine runners, and was won by Saw cutter in a canter; and the Wizard found no antagonist in the Cup (an equestrian statuette of her Majesty). The other races were not of much impot Lance, but one sad contretemps took place, by which a nice lad was severely hurt, a two yr-old having thrown him and trodden on his thigh, which was much lacerated, but not broken. The last race of all produced the finest contest of the day, two heads only hav ing separated the first three horses. The entire distance run in the six races which came off during the day was !our miles and a furlong, the long race (the Cup) having ended in a walk over. Some betting on the St. Leger took place at intervals, of which we subjoin a quotation. The Welter Cup, value 100 sovs, by subscription of 15 sovs each, 10 ft, and 5 only if declared.

Prince Imperial made the running, followed by Sawcut ter and Greenwich Fair side by side. At the T.Y.C. starting post the favourite ran up to Prince Impe rial, and on entering the straight obtained a slight lead, which he held to the end, and won cleverly by a length ; a bad third. The Nursery Handicap of 5 sous each, with a 100 soya added, for 2-yr-olds. The second horse to save his stake. A winner to carry 51b extra.

Betting-7 to 4 agst Genealogie, 7to 2 agst Queen of Spain, 6 to 1 agst Middleton Maid, 7 to 1 agst Seahorse, and 100 to 8 each agst Santa Claus and Commander. Some little time was cut to waste through Middleton Maid refusing to face the flag. At length the flag was dropped and the lot left the post in compact order. The Queen of Spain having a slight lead, which she retained for the first 100 yards, when Middleton Maid, overpulling her rider, rushed to the front, and went on with a commanding lead, followed in Indian file by the Queen of Spain, Sea horse, the favourite, and Incitatus, the others lying close up, s t the head of which was seen Commander. In this order they ran to the entrance into the straight, when Middleton Maid began to come to her horses, and at the road The Queen of Spain got to her head, followed by Genealogie, Seahorse, and Commander, to which lot the race was confined. Crossing the road Middleton Maid was beaten, and dropped into the rear, leaving The Queen of Spain with the lead, who, halfway up, was joined by Genealogie, between which pair an exciting set-to ensued, The Queen of Spain winning cleverly by a neck ; a bad third. Commander finished fourth, llartington. fifth, and Incitatus sixth, the others beaten off, the last three being Prince Edward, Middleton Maid, and Aroma.

The flag fell to an indifferent start. Flitch, having the best of it, cut out the work, waited upon by Little Dick, Prince Plausible, and the Gloom colt, the others lying close up, with the exception of Sawcutter, Neophyte, and Lord of the Manor, who appeared to be outpaced. Tra versing the Star-meadows, the three last named gradually improved their positions, and on entering the straight they joined the front and ran in company to the road, when Sawcutter came out, and in a few strides headed the favou rite and came on with a commanding lead, and won in a canter by half a dozen lengths ; a bad third ; Lord of the Manor was fourth, Little Dick fifth, and Neophyte sixth ; the others passed the post at wide intervals, as placed by the judge.

CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. The Commissioners of Sewers resumed their weekly meetings yesterday, ar Guildhall ; Mr. Deputy CIrRisTIE in the chair. A deputation waited on the court with a memorial signed by numerous inhabitants of St. Paul's-churchyard and its vicinity, praying that some measures might be taken to pre vent a nuisance being caused by the rebuilding of the pre mises belonging to Messrs. Knight and Son, which were burnt down a few nights since, for the purpose of carrying on the tallow melting business. Mr. Deputy FARMER moved that it be referred to the Improvement Committee to consider and report upon. Dr. LETHEBY, the medical officer of health, submitted his report on the sanitary condition of the City. He stated that 251 houses had been inspected during the week, 355 visits made to the common lodging-houses of the City since the last meeting of the c our t, an d he submitted a list of 96 placts for sanitary improvement. He likewise reported that the markets and slaughter-houses had been duly in spected, and that the officers had seized about 4 tons of meat, besides 13 quarters of venison, 100 head of game and poultry, and 270 pine apples, as unfit for human food. Most of the meat was seized in Newgate-market ; the game and poultry in Leadenhall, and the pineapples in the streets of the City. The meat consisted of 41 sheep, 13 pigs, 65 quar ters of beef, and 91 joints. Nearly two tons of it was diseased, about a ton and a quarter putrid, and the rest was from animals that had died from natural causes. All the game, poultry, and fruit were in a putrid condition, and was destroyed as unfit for human food. The mortality returns for the last six weeks are below the average for the season, for only 200 deaths are recorded in place of 300, which is the mean proportion for the corre sponding period of the last five years. 117, or nearly half of the deaths, were among children of less than five years of ege, and 51 were among old persons of 60 and upwards. The chief causes of death were as follows :—Phthisis, 33 ; mesenteric diseases of children, 2; hydrocephalus, 8; con vulsions in infancy, 11; pneumonia, 22; and bronchitis. 11. lAmong the zymotic class of diseases there were the follow ing :—Continued fever, 5 ; scarlet fever, 9; erysipelas, 4 ; whooping cough, 12 ; croup and diphtheria, 4; diarrho.a of adults, 5 ; and infantile diarrhoea, 20. The last-named maladies have not been so prevalent as usual, for in the course of the corresponding weeks of the last five years the average proportion of deaths was double. Three hundred and thirty-seven births have been regis tered during the six weeks, and of these 183 were boys, and 151 girls. THE GAS SUPPLY IN THE CITY. Dr. Letheby submitted his quarterly report of the illu minating power and chemical quality of thc gas supplied by the Great Central Consumers' C om p an y, from which it appears that 315 experiments on the illuminating power of the gas have been made during the quarter. These expe riments have been made at two places, viz., at the college laboratory of the London Hospital, and at the City Labo ratory in Finsbury-square. The results of the testings are as follows :—At the first-named place, the mean illumi nating power of the gas has been equal to 11.11 sperm candles, or 12.69 wax, each of 12 grains consumption per hour ; and at the second, it has been equal to 10.89 sperm, or 12.44 wax—the difference of the two places, which are nearly two miles apart, being two-tenths of a candle. These results show that the illuminating power of gas has been equal to the standard of the Great Central Act of Par liament, and also that the power has been permanent, not withstanding thatthe gas has traversed many miles of main. The chemical quality of the gas has likewise been equal to the requirements of the act, for the gas has always been free from sulphurated hydrogen, and has not contained an excess of ammonia. He had to direct the attention of the court to a matter of great importance to the gas consumers of the City. Public notice had been given by the three companies who supply the City with gas of their intention to adopt the provisions of the Metropolis Gas Act of 1860. Those provisions differ very materially from the provisions of the Great Central Act, which was now in force in the City of London, and will affect both the quality and the price of the gas. 11 , therto the gas of but one company (t he Great Central) has been the subject of Parliamentary regulation, and has been officially examined in the City ; but from the circumstance of active competition those regulations in re spect of quality and price have controlled the supply of gas by the other companies. Now, however, that influence is to be removed by the adoption of the Metropolis Act, the spirit of competition will be set aside, and in / dace , f it there will be fixed conditions of supply, which are confided to that court for fulfilment. According to the terms of the Great Central Act of 1851, it is provided that the illumi nating power of the gag shall be of such quality as to pro. duce from an argand burner having 15 holes and a seven inch chimney, and consuming five cubic feet of gas per hour, a light equal in intensity to the light produced by 12 wax candles of six to the pound ; and such gas shall be superior in purity to the gas in common use, supplied at or about the 7th day of Dec., 1849, by any of the companies who then lighted the city of London or any part thereof with gas. But according to the Metropolis Act of 1860, which is about to be adopted, the illuminating power of the gas is raised about 14 per cent., for when burnt in the way mentioned it is to be equal to 12 sperm candles instead of 12 wax, and as regards purity, it shall be so far free from ammonia and suq)lauretted hydrogen, that it shall not discolour either tumeric paper, or paper imbrued into ace tate or carbonate of lead when those tests are exposed to a current of gas issuing for one minute under a pressure of five-tenths of an inch of water, and shall not contain more than twenty grains of sulphur in any form in one hundred cubic feet of gas. While, therefore, the illuminating power of the gas has been raised about one-seventh, the parity of the gas has been more accurately defined. It would rest with the court to watch over the provisions, and to secure their fulfilment. He ventured to suggest, how ever, that on the adoption of the act, there should be A liberal interpretation of its clauses, so that on the one hand there should be no needless impediment offered to the testing of the gas wherever you should consider it necessary, and on the other hand there shculd be no strict binding_ _to each day's quality of gas, but a fair average of the weekly a y nd tl3e sup ply. This is my mode of proceeding at Present, agreed .n to_ab i abide yo n will the qualityk e- Great Central Company h ave = h es itatingly by my testings in this manner at your laboratory Fins bury-square. - ; s f q o u r ar it e ;vill l b tr:s trn t ghat the to o th d e ee r companiesidefarl of any gas without a systematic and continuous series of investigations, such as are now made on your behalf for the Great Company."HoT moved Mr. Central that th e report be referred to , the General Purposes Committee, and observed that he thought it would not be long before the corporation made their own gas. The resolution was agreed to ; and Mr. Deputy H -- "RIS 0 X moved that the report be printed, and a copy be sent to each member of the court, and that 50 copies be sent to the Metropolitan Board of Works. This was also agreed to, and the court adjourned.
