svonl f ij ~ MONEY MARKET AND COMMEROIAL INT :LLI GENOA CITV. Tv -o The Liverpool Cotton Market, ye: ±erday, clo,9pd quietly at last week's prices. The ales were b e . tween 7,000 and 8,000 bales, 2,500 ror expor, and 500 on speculation, including 400 B auia, at 61d. to ; 200 Egyptians, at 6!d. Bd. ; 1,000 Surat, at 4111. to 5/d.; and 60 Sea Island, at lid. to ls. 7d. per lb. The Share Al :v.rket was also quiet, and prizes were a shade - lower than on Saturday last. Advices from the Continental sugar markets state that an active business has b eon done in raw sugars, while the demand for :efined has dimi nished. Havre during e past week the principal kinds disposed of we: re Antilles at 66f. 50e., and Havanna at 46f. pe]..7 50 kilos. The ar rivals comprised 1,379 carrier ties from French co lonies, 3,506 cases Havanna. and Metanzai; and 500 cases Bahia. At Marseill 4 A the inaction of the previous week was followed on the one ended the 16th inst. with some large tr ansactions in Antilles, at a slight improvement on 1 srevious quotations. This day the half-yearly meeting of the Lon donderry and Enniskillen Ra ilway Company took place, when a favourable r eport was presented,, showing a gradual increase i n the receipts of the line. The gross traffic of the half-year was; 16,1051. A balance of 6,6831. remained in favoste of revenue, out of which a dividend of 2s. 6(1. per original preference share was declared. The re port was adopted. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have an nounced the result of their examination ,of the various documents relating to the concession and privileges in the possession of the Riga and. Duna burg Railway Company. This result is us !favour able, it having been resolved that the share )3 of the Company shall, for the present, be omitto d from the official list. Of course the general pu.:blic are not acquainted with the precise contents ( est; various documents in the hands of the Di'zec tors ; but the mere fact of the state uients contained in the original prospectus laving aent to been ignored by a subsequent announcer the effect that the 5 per cent. Atiarf intee is not on the fixed sum of 12,000,000 silver roubles, as at first alleged, but only on the amt . ., unt ex pended in the construction of the line, is quite sufficient to justify the Stock Exchange, C ommittee in adopting the step already mentioned. The quo tation of shares in the official lists is sor se guaran tee of the bona ,fide character of the ur idertakings to which they belong, and although 7 ao one w ill question the integrity of the directors of the com pany in question, still they have ma ( 1 ic a mistak e , and inadvertently misled the put and the committee are therefore warranted - 1-n prohibiting dealing in the shares. Arrangerr cents may be made, however, by which the por nilarity of this project will be wholly restored, and it may yet happen that the statements • set forth in the prospectus will be ultimately yeti fled, for it can hardly be supposed that the Russian authorities should have allowed the company t n assume so im• portant a 'position in England, u> ,less they were prepared to recognise it, and to ratify tho ukase of the late Emperor if such a proceee Ling were neces. sary. The directors, however, are confident of the future success of the undertakin g, and of being able to reassure the shareholders that their pros pects have not been materially damaged by th e discovery that the guarantee is not on a fixed amount of capital. The Funds have remained at the closing quota tions of yesterday, and the mark et continues in an inactive state. The dealings for . money are limited, and it is remarked that the C government broker has ceased purchasing for the present. Consols for transfer are 95 to 95k, and for account 95i g.

LAW INrELLIGEZICE.—(This Day.) COURT OF EXCHEQUER. SEDECTION- SHEPHERD V. WILKINSON-DAMAGES 5001. This was an action, brought against the defendant, under the following circumstances, for the seduction of Miss Agnes t..bepherd. The defendant, allowed judgment by default, and the Master now sat to hear the evidence and assess the damages. Mr. W. F. Howe appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. James Watson for the defendant. Mr. Howe said that the defendant had, by not pleading, confessed the seduction of Miss,Shephero. It was, therefore, his (Mr. Howe's) duty to lay before the Master the circumstances under which the seduction was effected ; and which, lie should sub nit, would entitle the plaintiff to substitutO damages. Miss Shepherd was 'a very pretty and acomplished young lady, aged 17, and resided with her father, a gen tleman of large fortune, at Hanover•houFe, Dalston. The 'defendant is a surveyor, of good character, also residing at. Dalston, and is about 30 years of age, The young lady herself would prove the facts. Mr. Howe then called Miss Agnes Shepherd, a re markably fine girl, but who seemed greatly agitated. On being sworn, she said—l am only 17 years of age. I have known the defendant ever since I was a child. From the beginning of May, 1855, the de fendant was my accepted lover, although mamma much objected to the disparity of our ages. No positive arrangement as to our marriage was made, but it was understood we were to be married. I have frequently walked cut with defendant. On the Bth of October last year the defendant solicited me to accompany him to the theatre. Having obtained papa's permission, I went. I think t was called the " Adelphi " Theatre. We had cham pagne at thp theatre. We bad a private box. The de fendant, in the course of the performance, left me for half an hour. On his return we had the wine. The defendant poured it out, and 1 - remarked that it did not taste like papa's champagne. I became very " drowsy " after partaking of it. We did not stay to witness the last piece. The defendant called a cab, and directed the man to drive to some street, but I do not 'recollect the name of it. It was not far from the Theatre. When we got to the door I asked the defendant why he_ brought me there. He kissed me, and said, "My darling, it is a friend of mine to whom I wish to introduce you." On going into the house I was much struck with the peculiar character of the place; and my astonishment was great, when I wa ushered into a room in which there was a bed. I had, however, no, suspicion whatever of the real character of the house, but asked the defendant how it was we were shown into a bed-room. The defendant replied lie would inform me presently. Prom his manner, I then became very much alarmed, when a female entered, and defendant whispered some thing to her. She returned shortly after with some wine in a decanter. I at first refused to taste it, but at the earnest entreaty of defendant I drank some. I have no recollection of what followed, for I became senseless. When I recovered, I found defendant in bed with me. I was undressed, and the defendant or some other person had undressed me. I found I was seduced. cried very much, and reproached defendant for his cruelty. He told me it was all through his in tense love for me. I said I could not face my parents after this occurrence. The defendant replied. he could easily appease papa. I went home by myself, and directly I saw mamma I made her acquainted with everything that had happened. She was very indignant, and wanted ,0 give defendant into custody, but I would not sanction When papa heard d it he was very much in. tensed, and it was only at my earnest entreaty that he refrained from giving defendant into custody. The defendant was forbidden our house the day following. I have met him since, but have never had connection with him since that unhappy night. (Witness hero be- came very much affected, and sobbed bitterly.) I was confined on the 6th of June last. The child I have in my arms is the defendant's child. I dearly love the de. fendant, and cannot help feeling that he is sincerely at. Mr. Watson, on behalf of the defendant, here said he should not require any further evidence, as he thought enough had been proved of this very painful case to en- able the,Master to assess the damages. The Master, after carefully considering the case, awarded the plaintiff 500/. damages. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day), OLD 'COURT. (Before the COMMON SEBGRANT.) GAROTTE ROBBERY.—James Riley was cbArged with feloniously assaulting William Josderine with intent to I rob him. It appeared from the evidence that about 11 o'clock in the evening of the Bth instant, the prosecutor, who resides in Yorkshire, was passing through Gray's inn -lane, and turned into Pox-court s ,„ when he was assailed by two men. One of .them caught him round the waist with one arm and kept his arms down, and with the other hand caught him round the throat, which prevented him giving an alarm, whilst the other man attempted to rob him, but in which he was unsuccessful. The swivel of his watch was severed, but they were un able to get the watch from his pocket, and in conse quence of his arms being held down the men were unable to take the guard off hiS neck or break it. A man, named Henry Bickman, was in the court at the time and heard a noise like a dog choking, and on looking about he saw two men with the prosecutor, whom they knocked down and then made off. Bickman ran after them and succeeded in catching the prisoner as he was entering a house in the neighbourhood. The prisoner was well known to the police, and had been previously convicted. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The Cm:mon Sergeant said this. was an offence of a very serious character, and, as it was increasing, it should be put a stop to if 'possible. Owing to the man ner in which the indictment was drawn ho was unable to sentence the prisoner to transx•ortation, and he therefore sentenced him to two years' irnprisoninent with hard labour. Benjamin Evans, a draper, 20 years of age, was indicted for stealing five shawls and other articles, value 301., the property of ThOroas Poppy, his master. Mr. 13,iland prosecuted ; Mr. Metcalf deft nded. The prosecutor keeps a draper's shop at 285, High Holborn, and the prisoner bad been in his service about six weeks. On the 4th inst. the prisoner left on ac• count of alleged illness. Prosecutor had missed some property previous to the prisoner leaving, and afterwards further discoveries of losses to a large extent were made. The goods produced the prosecutor identified as his, and said they were in the same state as if they had been regularly sold. Lie -undertook to swear they had not been sold (although he kept, a great number of assist. ante), because he could not firido6 countercheck of their sale. Me believed the prisoner7s friends were very respectable people. A policeman of the D division said he snAv the priso ner, on the Bth kigust, In the shop of Mr. Williams, butcher, Waiworth•road. He had a small parcel with him, and asked for a parcel he had previously left there. Witness, after some conversation with the prisoner, in sisted on knowing where he got the goods contained in the parcel, and he replied he bought them at Manches ter, where he had kept a shop, but, not answering, he had shut it up. As be would give witness no reference be.took him to the station, and the goods wera ulti naittely identified by the prosecutor. At a Mr. Dorm ' s, to w hom the prisoner referred for his character, were found three boxes containing drapery articles, &C., some of which the prosecutor identified as his. When apprehended the prisoner had on a diamond ring and wore an eye glass, and when searched five sovereigns and other moneys were found on him. Mr. Williams, butcher, of Walworth•roacl, deposed that for some weeks the prisoner hid been in the habit of dealing with hind on Sunday mornings, bringing a small parcel with him. On Sunday fortnight the pri soner came to his shop with a large parcel oa his shoulder, and put it down, saying it was very hot. Re asked to leave it till the following morning, as the wea ther was so hot and Otte parcel so heavy he could not carry it. After some reluctance on the part of the wit ness he consented. A few days afterwards the pri soner came to his hhop, opened the parcel, and took away some of the goods, and from the prisoner's manner and refusal to take the whole of the goods away, wit ness's suspicions were aroused, and he gave information to the police. Mr. Dunn, who resides near Walworth-common, dc posed that the boxes above referred to were left at his house by the prisoner. The prisoner lodged• with him whoa out of a situation.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(T.Lis Da: SOUTHWARK. CHALLENGING THE WIZARD OF THE NOE.TH. —James Grub, an elderly man of rather respectable appearance, was brought before Mr. Combe charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance in the pit of the Surrey Theatre. Henry Peckham, the constable of the theatre, said that while Mr. Anderson was going through his per formance on the previous evening the prisoner suddenly jumped up in the pit, and, climbing on the platform used by Mr. Anderson, called him a humbug, and said that he had detected him in his tricks, which he could do as well as himself. Mr. Anderson treated him very good humouredly, thinking it the best way to pacify him, and at the same time shots ed him his tricks ; but it .was evi dent to him that was ueeless as the person was drunk. His conduct then became so uproarious that witness was compelled to remove him and lock him up in the station-house. However, it was not Mr. Anderson's wish that he should be punished, as he had been locked ur. Mr. Combo asked him whether he knew' anything of him? Peckham replied that be had known him for many years as a respectable tradesman, and he was sure he would not have so committed himself had he not been under the influence of liquor. The prisoner expressed his regret at haying annoyed Mr. Anderson or his audience, and he promised not to repeat it. Mr. Combo hoped he would keep his promise, and not get drunk again. He was discharged. Naval and Military Intelligence. .®.~~ Yesterday being the anniversary of the birthday of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Austria, and the Aus trian frigate Radetzky being at Portsmouth, a general Royal salute was fired at noon by her Majesty's and the Sardinian and Dutch ships at Spithead, and tladflagships Victory and St. Vincent, in Portsmouth harbour, hoisted the Austrian Royal standard at the main during the ceremony ; the Garrison Battery also fired. The Royal Victoria Pier was dressed out in flags, and a grand ban quet took place on board the Radetzky in honour of the occasion. In the evening the Austrian, Sardinian, and Deitch officers attended a ball in their honour at the King's Thionas, which was brilliantly attended by the naval and military authorities, the foreign consuls, and the best society of the neighbourhood. This evening the Sardinian officers will be entertained at the Govern ment-house by Major-General Breton, the governor of the garrison. The Captain and the staff of the Dutch frigate De Ruyter and Mr. A. L. Vandenbergh were entertained by the Port-Admiral, Sir George Seymour, last' evening.

Stately, merchant, of Sheerness, for the removal of not less than 13,000 tons of mud from the basin and camber. A powerful mud engine was yesterday set to work, by which 360 tons of mud per hour can be put into barges.

SPORTINt .24 NOTES. The Yorkshire Oaks lies between Victoria and Man. ganese, who may pass the •rvinning cbair in an in verse order to that in which I have set down their ' names. Blink 133nny will, of course, win We Convivial StakeF, albeit, it is said, she`will meet a clipper in the dark Lady Hawthorne, 'who will have 51133. the best of the weights. If Fandangs be not a cripple he will lead his oppo nents a pretty dance for the Burgundy Stakes. Vindex, Assayer, and Maid of Derwentshall represent my interest for the Chesterfield Handicap. The only " feature" in the betting on the Ebor Handi cap has been the introduction of Courtenay to a promi nent position, and the " finessing" with regard to Mr. Howard's horses, Coroner and Yellow Jack. I shall not attempt to " calculate the chances," but shall merely state my deliberate conclusion, founded en a careful examination of the public performances, that either CORONER or LADY T&TTON will be the winner. Courtenay stands next in my estimation, albeit I hare well-founded doubts as to his staying ability. Unless there be something very good amongst the " dark lot" either Sprig of Shillelagh or Saunterer will, win the Prince of Wales' Stake 3. Zuyder Zee ought to win the Biennial Stakes for two year-olds to justify the expectations which have been entertained of him. Artillery may win The Ebor St. Leger. The Eglinton Stakes I assign to Theodora or Double Glo'ster. The Great Yorkshire Stakes is the only event which I shall touch upon in Friday's list, and shall give my unconditional adherence to Fazzoletto. Aug. 19. A FRESH MAN. ARRIVALS AT YORK.

Indeed, speculation was never so inactive, and not until late were we enabled to compile anything like a correct list of quotations, Few genuine transactions came under our notice ; a system of flash betting has, however, recent'y started up, which is not only pernicious in its tendency, hut discreditable to those persons who adopt it. No little discrimination is required now-a.days to separate the bona fide transactions from those which.. aro made for the purpose of riging., the market. EBOR TIANDicP.--:Beth Mr. lioward's horses, Coro ner and Yellow Jack, were under considerable suspicion —lO to 1 to 50/. was once betted against the former, but doubts were entertained of the genuineness of the transaction—doubts which were confirmed when the layer of those odds was seen, in a few minutes after wards, anxious to obtain 6 to 1 about the horse. At last 5 to 1 was booked to a "poney," the taker being desirous to extend his investment at 6 to 1. Yellow Jack was quite friendless. Conrtenay was backed for 251. at 8 to 1-3 to 1 was the highest offer on the ST. LEGER.—In the City, during the morning, El• lington and Fazzoletto were backed for upwards of 300/. They were not touched this afternoon. The subjoined scanty list of quotations will iniica`9 the nature and extent of the business transaction:•.:— EBOIt HANDICAP. 3to 1 agit Wari.ek (take 7t' 2) sto 1 agst Coroner (taken and offered) S to 1 apt Courtenay (taken and offered) 10 to 1 agst Lady Tatton (taken) 12 to 1 agst Brother to Grey Zunrny ( - ,ake: ) .D1;11BY. 1000 to 50 asst Co!oni,:t (taken) 1000 to 15 agst Euxine (taken) TEE ALADDIN CASE.—Aladdin, the winner of the Severnalce Forest Stakes, at Marlborough ani of the Cleveland Cup, at Wolverhampt on , was objected to for both those events, on the grounds that his pediwree was incorrectly stated.

It is curious to observe in the sea eral epochs of a na tion's history the recnrrecce of the 'same passions under different guises, and the same attraeitione or repulsions under different denominations. At one period the recol lection of a victorious aggression pits the representatives of the conquerors and conquered against each other in the constant antagonism cf race. The names of the ori glee' distinction remain long after both nations have been sie.jrc'.eil to one sway and blended under one law; and when, at last, the distinctive appellation has become obsolete or unmeaning the division is still kept up by be intrusion of other jealonsies and the substitution of otncr names. In the 11th century the usual and popu lar cry of the Saxon-English was " Down with the Nor :Lens." In the 14th century that cry is heard no longer; in its stead resounds the shout, " No gentleman !" and three centuries later it was "No more proud Lords and rotten-hearted BiskoPs 1" A century later heard anathemas against "Hanoverian rats " and "German cormorants ;" while the present century at different period had listened to outcries against Lords, Bishops, and powers in generil, an d among these powers the capitalists, the 1/IWe - 4-flees, and the class of employers as a body. Thug, by right of descent, the master manufacturer has come to fill in the popular mind, so far as a great change of circum stances will permit, nearly the seine obnoxious place that the Norman Baren, the Plantagenet Lord, or the Stuart Peer filled in the minds of the commonalty cen turies ago. The contemp'ation is a curious one. It suggests not only commonplace reflections on the identity of htlErla.‘ nature, but also others not less striking on the muta bility of classes and the progress of individuals. The outcry against capitalists and employers is a variation of the same strain that- has been sung since there were great and little, rice and poor, in the world. It is the consolaion aike of oppressed poverty and queru lous envy. But the accidents which provoke it and the accompaniments wbioh co:our it are peculiar to our age, and almost peculiar to this country: The object of the bitter complaint, the stern remonstrance, the cynical depreciation, er the arbitrary combination is neither invested with the exclusive privileges of a feudal caste nor raised on the pinnacle .of courtly grandeur. He is neither armed with the prestige of a dominant race nor decorated with the splendours of regal favour. He is just a man of the same origin, the same pedi gree, the canoe name, and, in some cases, the same educaeion, early habit', and training, as the men who juege him, or dislike him, or envy him. He is just a Smith or -a ThompL.n, a Brown or a Jones, a Wilson or a Pattisen, like the men who work at his forgo or his jenny, in his pottery or his foundry. The only difference between them is, that he is the employer and they are the employed.' And what has caused this difference ? In some cases, indeed, the accident of inheritance or bequest ; but in the majority of cases it is labour. The master has begun life in the same condition as that of his labourers, or in a condition but sightly elevated above it. His position is due to his industry, his economy, his common sense, and perhaps, Li some degree to that good luck, a share of which inva riably attends every person whose antecedent conduct and character enable him to turn favourable opportuel ties to advantage. From a ceorkman he has become a middleman ; from a middleman a small capitalist ; from a small capitalist a large one; and, finally, an employer of hundreds of his countrymen. A man who has so risen cannot have effected his sue. cess without severe struggles and frequent risks. Of these his workmen, of course, know nothing. Of the difficulty with which he has amassed his capital, or of the anxiety which besets its investment, they are ignorant. They only see the outward and visible signs of attained prosperity—the working engine, the crowded factory, and the abundant productions. Of the variations in the market—of gluts—of falling prices or failing credit—of the harassing cares which they cause—the men have only an imperfect notion. They see a man " no better than they are themselves" enj , ying, as they suppose, luxury and wealth earned by their toil, and unembittered by solicitude ; and, without reflection, they demand a larger share in the products of their own industry,. or they threaten that which to an employee is'almost ruin—" a strike." This is one class of "strikes." Were it the only one, it would amply justify the re-enactment of the repealed laws against combinations. It would- be intolerable that men should combine to extort from their masters an amount of e ages which the current prices or the average of profits prevented them from giving. A systematic appeal would crush all enterprise and destroy all capital throughout the country. It, would, in a very short time, reh,e up foreign and rival competition on the ruins of English industry. But this is not the only kind of "strike." As far as the evidence given before the Committee of the Commons on Operatives and Masters gime that class of "strikes" which is begun and con tinued by ignorant and envious workmen against just employers is exceptional. We are glad to encourage this belief ; we are glad to believe that English workmen do not bring the fearful alternative of a " strike" to beer against their masters merely under a false impres sion or an ignoble envy of the means possessed by the latter. Holding this laelfe, we cannot but regret that too many <-mployPrs give cause f.)ctLe discontent of their wort- men by their false economy and false pride,—false . . . , ,conomy wi ich degenerates into meanness, and false pride which hardens into obstinacy. The rate of wages should nsver seem to df pend upon the I o e er of combina tions, whether on the side of the men or their employers. It is, in fact, soenrr or later, determined by other laws which are more fair, end therefore more favourable to !loth pattleis, that, :my elnibinations, however strong, can be. When trade is brisk ail craft= fi el the genial influence, and the expaiding 11,1 , 1 of employment opens fiir the mechanic a curer prospect of augmented wages than any union could 'effect ; when trade slackens the competition of unemp:oyed workmen and the fall of profits force a reclucti - onof wages which no, union can resist. In the former case it is foolish parsimony or foolish obstinacy which makes a master delay a change that circumstances are bringing about independently of his volition ; iu the latter it is an unreasoning injustice, which seeks to effect by numbers and menace that which the state of the labour-market does not permit. But the former is the wore case of the two, because the master is supposed to be better educated and to understand the signs of the market tatter than his men ; and any niggard par: mony on his part provokes a retributive combination os the part of the men. And when obstinacy in the matter of wages is generally complicated with petty acts of despot ism, small nieannesses, an-I questionable cripplin , s, the disposition to combine evinced by illiterate workmen, whose toil is their cniiital, is williated, if not justified. Toe wont of it is, these c nabinations provoke counter. s om' , irattons. If workmen' may unite to force up the rtte of rages when they think times are prosperous, what is to prevent masters from combining to lower wagos Wien prefit,s are tesitlitrg to. zero? There is nothing more ut:just ter imps, Bible in the latter than in the former hypotis.sis. To be sure, each course is, on grounds 'Of public policy, dangerous and to be deprecated. Anything that would prevent its occurrence or its frequency is de sirable. But whir, will have this effect ? Toe witnesses before the committee elyttat Vie men generally have a horror cf appealing to magisterial tribunals. It implies di-grace, and we ate glad to record e v en a pre j u di ce e hich denotes sell-i•espt-ct on the part of the English weeimau. Again—and this is a more material objec. tien—in the distririts \ldler° these disputes occur too many of the magistrates aee master manufacturers, and, even with the best intentions, side with their own class. What is to be done ? Many witeesees suggest local Boards, compesed equally of workmen and em ployers. But it requires very little knowledge of human nature t ) predict the division of opinion where • the appellants are employers and employed. And to whom is the ultimate appeal ? Two suggestions are made; • one gives a professional and stipendiary oisir man, with a casting vete, to the court of appeal ; another crea'es a seeoriti court of appeal, consisting of operatives ant ma , turr of every craft. Both these suggestions seem to us impractica,lrlo. Ho ,v is a legal or lay chair man to uederstancl all the details relating to the crafts of machi aIS tS, t brassfounders, wire workers, cutler?, ealende!er , , calico printer's, cloth ma.,ulierurers, papsr manufacturers, weavers, lace wi , rl:cra, glass workers, alkali workers, alum workers, wheelwrights, carpenters, and joiners, &I. And yet he might have to give a eastine. vote in disputes arising from vexed questi ns on the details of these employments. At for a court cotitainirg one representative of each of these trades it would te simply useless. We can see only one solution of this difficult problem, The lessons of education, of bitt er ex p er i ence , an d o f a soun d con science must teach masters and men to trust more to the -enial sympathies of mutual confidence and common t than to tie resources of combination and the artillery of "strikes." Till this happy change be effected we shall have sad repetitions of the Preston "strike," tens of thousands of pounds misspent by the workmen,' hundreds of thousands lost to them as wages, and mil- Hoes of profits foregone by emplover - , fir want of mutual confidence and timely confcrel.:;o!—Titnes. intere EXTENSIVE SEIZUP.E OF UNWHOLESOME GRAIN.— A 1 gantietpan passing by the wharf of .111 r.
