TY IVETVS. NOYEY . ITARKET Al 9p to C 'TY, Two O'CLOCK. Business in the Foreign, and Colonial Prod uce Markets during. the last fe'vv c lays has continued mode/ ately active, and full Tirice s have been obtained for tea, sugar, and coffee , the finer qualities of the latter being in increased, demand for home consump tion. Rice,. fruit, Arai spices hal e been in moderate favour, wittiout any material alts ration, while there has been a rather active buriLless transacted in tallow, bo th for present and spring delivery, at slightly rinhanced quotations. Coutracts for 50,000 gallons of run's, 300 tons of sugar, 100,0001bs. of tea, 200 tolls of cocoa, 600 qrs. f3f split peas, and 50 tons of tobacco, are re ,quirod by Government. In the Liverpool Cotton AtArket yesterday busi ness assumed a much quieter rippearariee, but prices were well maintained. ' The sales, amounted to ab out :10,000 bales. Oft he £656,000 by th e Tatr.nallian from the West Indies, about £597,280 i,s in Abot it £30,000 in gold Iv as taken into the Bank of En gl and yesterday. The traffic receipts o ftlie South,-Eastern Railway for the past week shoN v a falling , off of £636.

Preferener I Stock. Although the de [nand for money has increased, the market retair is a quiet and easy appearance, the current rate fr Jr the best bills being 31 per cent. The accounts f ,rom Paris report continued firm ness in the rar mey market there, and a further advance in Vai .1 rate of discount is considered pro bable. The Ce mittee of Mexican Bondholders have received r.dvices from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico,, 29th ult., and from Messrs. Virga Bro thers, dated Vera Cruz, the Ist inst. The latter send 30,000 dols. by this packet for the dividend fun'i at the, Bank of England. Nothing of particu lar liatemst to the bondholders had occurred since Mr.• W i aitehead's letter of the 28th July. The Government tried to raise 400,000 dols. per - month on the security of the entire proceeds of the Custom-houses of both coasts, but failed in doing so. It then imposed a contribution of 1 per cent. on capital, which British residents - were advised to pay under protest. Diaz had bee'd tried as an accomplice in Miramon's xobbnry at the British Legation, and had been ac quitted. Congress, which adjourned on the 31st July, was expected to meet again in extraordinary session on the 30th ult., for the consideration of grave sub jects in connection with foreign relations, military 'movements, &c. A discussion is going on in the 'papers about the establishment of a Dictatorship. -According to the usual routine in Mexico, it was -thought that the time for this change had about come. General Gonzales Ortega had defeated Marquez on the 13th ult., about 20 leagues from Mexico, in the direction of Toluca, and had taken the oaths as Judge of the Supreme Court of Justice, in which eaparJity he is Vice-President of Mexico. The Market for Public Securities opened with a heavy appearance, and a few transactions took place at the reduced quotations current on the pre -vious afternoon, Consqls being 921 for transfer, and 928 93 for the 10th inst. Since then, however, further supplies of stock have been pressed for sale, and prices are y per cent. lower in consequence, Viz., 94 q 7 and 924 I respectively. The New Threes are flat at 90, 91; the Reduced at 90! 91 India Stock has advanced to 2211 and 223 ; ditto 5 per Cents. 103 k ; and Exchequer Bills, March, are firm at 3s. prem., and ditto June 7s. to 9s. prem. stock stock stock stock Business in the Foreign Market has been mode- s zately active, and prices show no important varia lion. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 85} 86 ; ditto, s 1858, 691 70; Mexican have been steady at 261 27, tsbut are now fl a tt er , viz., 261, 4 ; Russian 3 p er Cen. are at 611 ; Spanish Certificates at 51-' 6 ; 3 and Venezuelan at 201 ; Brazilian are firm at 991 : I t div. ; Peruvian 3 per Cents. have receded to 82 1 ' i_ iv. Business in the R a il way Sh are Market has con- St tinued exceedingly dull, and most of the principal t, undertakings are at further reduced prices. North at - Eastern (Berwicks), and South-Easterns have de clined 10s. ; Great Westerns, and Lancashire and - Yorkshire, 15s. ; and London, Chatham, and Dover, North-Western, Great Northern, and Midlands, £l.

(Before Mr. Commissicner Kerr.) WHOLESALE AND RETAIL NEWSMEN-IMPORTANT TO THE TRADE - GILLARD V. UNDERWOOD. This was an action to recover a sum for newspapers and periodicals supplied to defendant. Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, called his client, who proved supplying quantities of newspapers to defendant. Defendant asked for time, but his Honour said his rule was not to give time when a retail man was supplied by a wholesale man. It was necessary to keep the account clear. Verdict, to be paid at once. THE GREAT NORTHERN COAL COMPANY-CAUTION- HOWELL Y. BUTCHER AND SONS. This was an action to recover £2 Bs. paid to defendant for two ions of "best Wallsend coal," under the following important (to the public) circumstances ; Mr. W. B. Davie and Mr. Buchanan appearing for the plaintiff : According to the plaintiff's case, he was going down Skinner-street, Snow-hill, and seeing a board up marked " Great Northern Railway Coal Company," thought it was the Great Northern Company, and so ordered two tons of best Wallsend, for which he paid £2 Bs. When the coals were sent in they proved to be so vile that they could hardly be used, and defendant offered £1 back. This plaintiff would not take, and brought the present action. His Honour remarked that there was a Great Northern Company by Mr. Herbert Clarke. Mr. Davie —That is the right man. His Honour--I have dealt with him for 13 years, and once when I ordered some coals, he wrote to mo that the price had fallen, and sent them in more cheaply. That's honesty if you like. Defendant said he offered plaintiff £l, because he had taken some trouble. A witness said the coals sent in were more like pieces of slate than anything else. Other people had said they were not worth 16s. a ton. His Honour said, if the coals were good why did defen dant offer plaintiff £1? Mr. Clarke always sent in good coals. Defendant admitted that he had nothing to do with the Great Northern Railway Company. His Honour said that frauds were perpetrated on Mr. Clarke, and found for plaintiff, with costs. POLICE INTBLLIGENCE.—( This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE " FRIENDS OF LABOUR SOCIETY."—Joseph Leaf, Alfred Buckland, and - M'Rinley, trustees of the Friends of Labour Society, 58 Branch, held at the Carlisle Arms, Queen-street, Soho, were summoned for unlawfully refusing and neglecting to pay to Henry Byrne, he being then and there a full and free member of the society, the sum of V- 6s. 4d , the amount of money invested by him in the society, after 14 days' notice to the secretary of his intention to withdraw. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap• peared for the defendants. It appears that on the 12th of July, 1860, at a general meeting of the society, the defendants were appointed trus tees with the full approbation of the members, it being un derstood at the time that they were not made liable for any debts of the society, it being known at the time that the society was insolvent. On the 4th July, 1861, at a gene ral meeting of the society, three members were appointed auditors for the quarter, their names being—Byrne, the complainant, and Ashton and Buckland, the defendants ; and at the time Byrne (the complainant) was appointed au ditor he was a borrower amongst the other members, and continued to pay back the loan till Sept. 12. He now, how ever, asked to draw his money out after having the loan, the [society being at the present time i nso l ven t i n con sequence of a secretary's mismanagement and absconding with the funds, which circumstance he was aware of. It further appeared that the defendants were only in office again. pro tem, in order to get the society, if possible, together Mr. Lewis took several technical objections, and elicited from the secretary that complainant's demand was £4 6s 4d, and that there was only the sum of £4 6s. Id. in hand, and therefore contended that the summons should be dismissed. Complainant stated that some members had been paid. Mr. Beadon thought it sharp practice to pay one and not another, but as it appeared there wero not funds sufficient in hand, the trustees could not pay the complainant, and the summons must be dismissed. In the course of the case it appeared that a resolution was passed to the effect that no money should be divided till £2O were in hand. THE ANGLO-FRENCH TREATY. A letter from Paris says :—French manufac turers are making great efforts by reducing the price of their produce to keep possession of the home market, now that on the Ist of October the treaty of commerce with England is about to be carried into full operation. I have already re marked the low price at which cotton goods are offered for sale in the retail houses in Paris. I have since seen some articles of cutlery of French manu facture offered at nearly 50 per cent. less than the price asked six months ago. Porcelain is likevvise considerably reduced in price, and the tradesman is no longer confined to the plain white pattern of porcelain or demi-porcelain so well known to travellers in France. Their tables are now supplied with handsome patterns of Wedgwood ware at considerably less cost. The superiority of finish of the English manufactures will always give them a decided advantage in the French market, although, from a fact just communicated to me, it is evident that many unworthy manoeuvres will be resorted to in order to exclude them. I have been informed, by a person employed in the paper-staining trade, that patterns of English-stained paper are exhi bited in Paris for which the price demanded is 2f. the rouleau, although the cost price is only 40 cen- times, or one-fifth the price demanded. The conse quence is, that purchasers of paperhanging, for which there is a great demand at present, on account of the number of new houses being constructed in Paris, are led to believe that the price of English stained paper is exorbitant as compared with French produce. Of course, when the manoeuvre is exposed the effect will cease. SPORTING EV T.ELLIGEN C.E. TATTERSALLS'—YESTERDAY. The attendance this afternoon was extremely scanty, the principal members having left town by the midday train yesterday for their Newmarket quarters, and those present got through what little settling there was to transact with great expedition, so as to enable them to catch the 5 p.m. train, and in consequence business upon forthcoming events was entirely confined to the Eastern Counties Handicap, for which some half-dozen animals were backed in earnest, the commission upon each apparently having a wide range. The others quoted were only supported for limited sums. Speculation upon the Cesarewitch was anything but im portant, and was only noticeable from the anxiety of a strong party to back Donner and Blitz. His opening price was taken with great eagerness, and towards the close 100 to 6 was offered and freely accepted. La Vapeur also had a host of admirers, who invested freely at 100 to S.

For the Cesarewitch 20 to 1 would have been taken agst Ivanhoff, but 100 to 6 was declined. The Makeless filly was supported to win a few hundred at 20 to 1; but Donner and Blitz and The Rock were most in request ; the former finishing at 25 to 1 (taken), and the latter at 33 to 1 (taken).—Closing prices : EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY HANDICAP. 10 to 1 agst East Sheen (taken and offered) 11 to 1 agst Vaga (taken) 12 to 1 agst Maggiore (taken) 14 to 1 agst Pardalote (offered) 15 to 1 agst Camperdown (taken) 16 to .1 agst Lava (offered) 16 to 1 agst Curlew (taken) 16 to 1 agst Cosmopolite (offered) 20 to 1 agst Gibraltar (taken) 25 to 1 agst Fravola (taken) CAMBRIDGESHIRE. 14 to 1 agst Asteroid (taken) 16 to 1 agst Donner and Blitz CESAREWITCH STAKES. 14 to 1 agst Asteroid (taken) 16 to 1 agst La Vapeur (taken) 16 to 1 agst Paste (taken) 16 to 1 agst Ivanhoff (taken) 20 to 1 agst Makeless filly (taken) 20 to 1 agst Claire (offered—take 25) 20 to 1 agst Umpire (offered) 25 to 1 agst Calpe (offered) 25 to 1 agst Donner and Blitz (taken) 33 to 1 agst The Rock (taken) 40 to 1 agst Emulous gelding (taken) 50 to 1 agst Fisherman (taken) HAYMARKET THEATRE. For some weeks the metropolitan playgoers have been anxiously looking forward to the first appearance of Mr. Edwin Booth, and last night their curiosity was gratified by that gentleman making his bow as Shylock in the " Merchant of Venice." His reception was very cordial and encouraging. Mr. Booth is of the medium height, rather slight in figure, with a good eye ; he possesses various other personal advantages, and his acting last evening showed that he was by no means devoid of originality of idea. As he was said to belong to the impulsive school of actors, we were by no means surprised at his version of Shakspeare's Jew, and the impression he created was much more favourable than might have been anticipated. In the earlier scenes of the play he appeared rather too anxious to produce some startling effects, but that was no doubt occasioned by the novelty of his position. The well•remerabered speech commencing— " Signor Antonio, many a time and oft In the Rialto have you rated me' was delivered with good and marked expression, and nothing could be better than his ill-concealed hatred of the Christian merchant. His warning to his daughter about the safety of his house was well delivered ; but in the whirl wind of his fury at the desertion of his daughter it must be said he was rather too impetuous and impulsive. His de livery of the lines—" I am a Jew : hath not a Jew eyes ?" &c. down to "If you wrong us shall W 3 not have revenge ?" was exceedingly good and telling. The trial scene was also well given, and as Shylock quitted the stage loud and general applause broke forth from the whole of the audi ence. Mrs. Charles Young's Portia was a very excellent performance—the celebrated "Mercy " speech being given with surprising beauty and effect. Buckstone's Launcelot and Mr. Chippendale's Old Gobbo were fine specimens of genuine comedy, and the audience were not slow in show ing how highly they appreciated their abilities. At the fall of the curtain Mr. Booth was most enthusi astically called for, and on his appearance he was received with the loudest applause. The comedy was put upon the stage in very capital style, the whole of the scenery being new and very beauti fully painted. We abridge the following from the Empire of Sydney : Most people whose memory carries them back for a quarter of a century will remember the leading features of au extraordinary crime which took place in London about the commencement of 1837, and which probably excited in the public mind as great a degree of horror as any deed of guilt ever committed in the metropolis. I allude to the murder by Greenacre of Mrs. Brown, a woman to whom he was to have been married on the day following that on which he perpetrated the atro cious offence for which ho paid the penalty of his worthless life. Some of the circumstances were so horribly grotesque, that no lapse of years can efface them from the memory of those who then became acquainted with them. Greenacre, it was proved at the trial, completely dismembered the body of the unfortunate Mrs. Brown, and after dis posing of the trunk and limbs in various places, actually rode about London in cabs and omnibuses fortwo or three days with the head under his arm, wrapped in a silk handkerchief, telling those friends and acquaintances who happened to inquire as to the contents of a bundle he seemed so careful of, that it was only a cabbage ! Of the murderer himself, and of the particulars of his trial and execution, I shall here say nothing. The circum stance which I am about to relate has no further connection with him and his history, than that it refers to the ultimate fate of the wretched woman who was his paramour and accomplice, who assisted him, if not in the actual murder, at least to conceal the evidence of it, and who was to have shared the proceeds of his guilt. Sarah Gale, the woman alluded to, became, if possible, an object of greater execration than the, murderer himself. She was admitted on the trial to give evidence against him, and by this means to preserve her worthless life for the fate which befel her many years afterwards in the far interior of this country. It will perhaps be necessary to explain that at the time of the murder of Mrs. Brown I was almost a child ; that it was the first crime of horror with the details of which I had ever been made acquainted; and that the im pression left on my youthful mind was of a vivid and painful nature. In the year 1868 I was resid ing in a remote part of this colony. I did not re gularly follow my profession as a means of liveli hood ; the population was much too scattered, and far too healthy, to induce a medical man to remain there. When, however, accident or the usual oc currences of domestic life threw anything in my way, I took advantage of it to help out an other wise not very liberal income ; and by this means became acquainted with facts connected with the dreadful crime alluded to 20 years after it was committed. One morning before daybreak I was aroused from sleep by a heavy knocking at my bedroom window, which looked out into the verandah of my residence. On inquiry I found I was required, at a distance of some sixty miles, to attend a woman who had been thrown from her horse against a tree. The mes senger informed me that if I made haste and could save the patient, I should be handsomely rewarded as she was very rich, having some thou sands of cattle and stations half as big as England itself ; that fresh horses would meet U 3, and that if I rode well, we could do the distance in something like five hours. This gratuitcus information he gave me while hurrying on my clothes. In twenty minutes I was on my way to the Big River, across long and arid plains, with not a tree or a shrub in sight. A ftcr a ride of six hours and ten .minutes we arrived at the homestead or head station. After running the gauntlet through upwards of a a dozen hungry kangaroo dogs, I reached the pa tient's bed room. On approaching the door I saw the bed directly opposite ; it seemed to contain a huge pile of something in the centre. On going close to the bedside I found my patient to be a woman of vast size and weight—certainly not less than 16 stone, and the heap I had noticed on my entrance was her very extensive and respectable corpo ration. On examination I found she had suffered both from external and internal injuries to such an extent that I feared the case was hopeless. She turned to look at me. I begged she would not dis turb herself. " Not disturb myself," she interrupted, " it is easy to say so, but why do you not give me something to relieve this dreadful pain ? Give me something, I pray, or I must go mad." At noon next day a marked change for the worse had taken place. The period had arrived for me to perform an unpleasant duty. I broke the news to the unfortunate woman with as much caution as possible, telling her to prepare for the worst, and to arrange any affairs she might wish to have settled before her final departure from this world. She told me the whole cause of the accis dent, in a calm, collected manner, and begged I would be kind enough to draw up a will for her, as she informed me the whole of the property was hers, and that she was living with G--, but not legally married to him, therefore she could dis pose of her property as she liked, which she did. The will being finished, I wished her to sign it in my presence, and in that of other witnesses : she had a marked repugnance to do this, which appeared dreadful to her, as a last act. I showed her the necessity of doing so while in the possession of all her faculties,' or before any derangement took place. She refused to sign it but in the presence of two persons, whom she named, her husband and my self. I ordered the room to be cleared, and gave her the pen, puttingat the same time, the usual questions. She hesitated a long time—there was a stillness that was fearful to me for ten minutes ; at last she sum moned sufficient resolution to commence, but stopped at the first letter. S. " Oh, wiit:a little," she said, "I am thinking, thinking, thinking of times long past," and as she seemed to be talking' more to herself, as it is called, than addressing us, I made no reply. Her husband, who was now sober, witnessed this death-bed scene with evident emo tion. " James," said the woman, "I should like to be alone with the doctor a little while. I have some thing to tell him, but nothing I have to confess that you do not already know." The husband then left. She then told me what I was never, never to tell spin. T was at first absolutey paralysed. There, in that remote solitude, did that dying woman reveal facts so dreadful, and so connected with my painfully distinct recollection of by-gone days, that I absolutely shook with agitation. It seemed more like a horrible dream than a waking reality. She recalled me to my senses by her despairing appeals to Heaven for forgiveness. She seemed completely hopeless of pardon. I tried at length to comfort her, and bade her not despair. " How glad I am you are here, doctor; you shall be well paid for all this. Do you know I feel happier now since I have told you all. Oh, if I could have seen a clergyman, but there is ncne nearer than 150 miles. Too late, too late! I shall soon be elsewhere. where?" I begged of her to sincerely repent of her faults, and seek hope for the future; she clasped her hands together, sighed deeply as though her heart too were oppressed, and she was at a loss for words. She spoke at last with effort and evi dent fatigue. " Call him in," she said. I did her bidding; in the presence of her husband I gave her the pen ; she gave one look of despair and anguish, signed the will, and I witnessed at once the death and signature of" SARAH GALE." As it was too late to start,for home the same day on which Mrs. G-- died, and to sleep was impos sible,l mad a memorandum of the circumstances an hour or so after her death took place. I have s w ai h da h ll w th il a l t ev l er fe b el au a nt at mylib mertyeniotory.divalge of 4 story THE FAILU.RE OF IFZR . NICHOLSON, - - The circumstances attending the failure of Mr. Nicholson are stated to be very discreditable. He appears to have operated most extensively and reck lessly, without regard to consequences, and princi pally on his own account. Iu previous settlements, it seems, he secured large profits, but these have again been lost, and now, after exhausting his own resources and those of his friends —for he has borrowed pretty generally—he leaves heavy differences unadjusted, and disappears without any attempt to make an arrangement. His engagements have included almost every description of security—Consols, India Stock, Midland, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Mercantile Fire, and some of the various mining shares. In the confusion and distrust occasioned by the event the brokers and dealers have not been able to trace the absolute extent of the deficiency, but it is well ascertained that it will be large and far above the amount which either the position or the credit of the defaulter should have allowed him to incur. A balance more extensive than anticipated has been attached at his bankers', so that a divi dend will be available, though it is thought not of a respectable character. instances of irregular proceedings with regard to moneys obtained from his friends and his own clerk are reported, but these may yet be capable of explanation. It is alleged that his relatives are unacquainted with his retreat, the general supposition being that he has crossed the Channel for Boulogne. Although the general features of this case are very discouraging, the consequences will not be so disastrous as those experienced by the default of Mr. A. Cooper. Not withstanding severe losses have been in special in- Vances made, no one, it is hoped, will be seriously nr t n h yy from the compromised and reduced to the painful alternative of suspending.

" A GOOD SIIErriERD."—One day last week a shepherd in the employment of Messrs. Kennedy, Lynwilg, noticed a few sheep standincr, on a ledge of rock at Caigin cataract, on the river Dulnan. II - was impossib'e that the sheep could extricate themselves, and although the shep herd saw,,full well the danger he was in if he endeavoured to reach them, yet he resolved to make the attempt, and proceeded to wind his way down the precipice until he stood immediately above the sheep. While in this position the shelf on which he stood suddenly gave way, and he was precipitated into the gulf below. Stunned by the fall, the poor fellow, in trying to save himself, vainly endeavoured to make head against the current, the sheep looking down upon their master in dismay. Fortunately, he was observed by some neighbours who happened to be passing, and extri cated from his critical position just as he was about to sink. We are happy to state that the sheep were also secured.— Invernen THI RD ,EDITION, SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock, NEWMARKET _RACES—(Tha's Day.) General Hesse Satellite ................... Four ran.

ATTEMPT TO BURN THE BELFAST MILITARY BARRACKS.—A private soldier of the 49th Regiment of Foot has been committed for trial in Belfast for having attempted to set fire to the barracks in that town.

THE EASTERN FISHERIES.—The herring fishery is now being actively prosecuted off the eastern coast. Two or three boats have come into Yarmouth with about eight lasts of their own catch, but recent heavy weather at sea has caused some boats to seek harbours nearer the fishing grounds than Yarmouth. Prices have ranged from £lO to £25 per hist, accorditig to quality. Some of the long shore boats have landed at Yarmouth several thousand fish, which have realised 6s. to 7s. per 100.

They were fat HARVEST IN HUNGARY,-- Th e corn narvest has been most abundant this year in Hungary, and enormous quantities are in consequence being sent off by'railway to the countries of Western Europe. The advantages which. 'Hungary will derive from these exports are exceedingly great. According to a statistical return, drawn up by the Minister of Agriculture, the value of corn exported from Hungary since the beginning of the month of August is nearly 18,000,000 f., being only about a third of what can. be sold. The abundant harvest has been important in a political point of view ; it has had the effect of making the rural population better disposed to pal , the taxes to the Austrian Government. • A NEW USE FOR APPLES.—We are threatened with a cider famine, not from the failure of the apples, although a partial crop, but because they are likely to be applied to a more profitable purpose (so far as the growers are concerned) than in making a household beverage. It seems that the Manchester calico dyers and printers have discovered that apple juices supply a desideratum long wanted in making fast colours for their cottons, and num bers of them have been into Devodshire and the lower parts of Somersetahire buying up all the apples they can get, and giving such a price for them as in the dearest years hitherto known has not been offered. We know of one farmer of ire Devonshire who has a l a rg o orc h ar d, f or the pr oduce which he neve r before received more than £250,60 , and c.hre .t . e he has sold it this ye a r t o a M anc h es t er ma n f can be no doubt th a t th e di scover y will cre o a r t L7 e quite a revo lution in the apple trade.

The memorial recapitulates at considerable length the state of affairs as at present existing between Mexico and British interests in that state; and the meniorialists suggest that, with a view to remedy the evils that prevail, a joint protective force should be thrown into Mexico by England and France, in order to maintain tranquillity, an for the restoration of social and political order, • 1 ~ N Libellous Queen. of the Vale ........................ 2 Six ran.
