The leading country markets hold on Saturday were very moderately supplied with wheat, yet the trade gener ally ruled inactive, at about stationary prices: Spring corn moved off slowly, and flour was much neglected, though without material change it value. Throughout tho Continent the tansactions in wheat and flour for export have been unimportant. Advises from the United States mention a further considerable fall in the prices of breadstuffs. Up to our market, last week the arrivals of English grain were very small. From abroad we received 45,542 quarters of wheat, 1,290 barley, 18,903 oats, 15 beans, 3,787 peas, 168 linseed, 4,304 alseeds, 2,100 maize, 150 sundry seeds, 782 sacks, and 44,2(9 barrels of flour. The show of wheat from Essex and Kent to this morn ing's market was small, and comrrised but few samples in fine condition. For these the denand ruled steady, and prices wero well supported ; but inferior qualities moved off slowly, yet no change can be reported in their value, compared with this day so'anight. Owing to the large importMita, tho supply of foreign wheat was extensive. In good andfine samples a fair retail business was transacted at full potations; but inferior descriptions were somewhat negbcted, yet prices were fairly supported. Floating earzoes of grain were it very moderate request; nevertheless, the currencies ruled tolerably firm. The demand for barley was nuch restricted, yet no change took place in prices Malt changed hands to a limitedextent on former terms. Good fresh oats were in fair reqicst at full pikes. In ferior kinds, the supply of which vas tolerably large, sold slowly at late rates. Thera were very few English bans and peas on offer. Foreign parcels were in moderate apply and slow request, at previous currencies. The flour trade was in a sluggish state, owing to the large arrival of American barrels, vhich for the most part changed hands at late prices, but sere sales were pressed rather less money was accepted. I'lhe value of other kinds ruled about stationary. CURRENCY PER IMPERAL ArEASURB.

Sales pro gressed slowly, at about stationar3 prices. From our own grazing clistricls, the receipts of beasts fresh up, this morning, were moderately good as to num ber, but deficient in quality. Prime Scots, crosses, and shorthorns sold freely, on rathez higher terms—a few of the former having realised ss. per Sibs, but inferior beasts were a dull inquiry, at lastweek's currency. The arrivals from Lincolnshre, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire comprised 1,60 shorthorns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 800 variom breeds ; from Scotland, MO Scots and crosses; and fron Ireland 130 oxen and heifers. About an average supply of cheep was in the pens. Downs and half-breds were scene, and in request, at ex treme rates ; all other breeds, hovever, moved off slowly, at late quotations. The best old downs were worth fully ss. 4d. per 81bs. We were fairly supplied with limbs. The best breeds were taken off readily, and 'in sone few instances, 6s. 4d. per 81bs was realised for Down wallies. Inferior lambs were heavy, at from ss. to ss. 4d. per Blbs. The supply of calves was good, and the veal trade was in a sluggish state, at barely stationary prices. There was only a limited inquiry for pigs, and the quo tations had only a drooping tendency.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Hoiroyd.) IN RE UNDERWOOD-REFUSAL OF CERTIFICATE. This bankrupt was described as of Long-acre, Covent garden, and Drury .lane, grocer, and appeared a few days since for fraudulent trading. His Honour referred to the grounds of the opposition, which have been published in detail. The bankrupt had been twice insolvent, and in the latter part of 1858 commenced a system of purchasing goods on credit and at once selling at cost price or less, and in the present state of affairs it was shown that he owed £8,600, and the profits amounted to £2,152; the trade expenses, £3,962; domestic, £600; losses, £3,954; bad debts, £1,356. His Honour went through a variety of cases, and on the authority of two, " Holthouse" and " Coleman," refused the certificate on the ground that the bankrtpt had syste matically obtained grants on credit in the ordinary course of business. His Honour added that if the bankrupt was taken in custody on a B. A. certificate he might apply for his discharge after he had been in prison three months. Mr. C. E. Lewis pressed for protection for 21 days to give the bankrupt time to appeal. Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, objected, ualess Mr. Lewis pledged himself to appeal. Mr. Lewis said it was impossible to come to a decision at a moment, and his Honour granted protection for two days, to be extended if the bankrupt undertook to appeal. SEEDS. The transactions in all kinds of seed are very limited, and prices remain nominal. New turnip is still quoted at 26s per bushel, and new rapeseed may be expected in the market in a few days.

TEE SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST TEE BARON DE VIDIL. The warrant for the apprehension of the Baron de Vidil on the charge of attempting to murder his son was executed in Paris. _ _ The Baron was arrested at the Jockey Club, and imme diate intelligence to the effect was telegraphed to London by Superintendent Thornton, who has the mater in hand. On a representation of the facts alleged against the prisoner being made to the French Government, he was transmitted to the charge of the English officer for conveyance to Lon don, and we believe he arrived here last night, and the charge against him will most likely be investigated at the Chief Police Court, Bow •street. With respect to the statement in the morning papers relative to the condition of the son, it would appear that his condition was somewhat precarious ; but such is not the fact, as he was well enough last Wednesday evening to attend with Mr. Ellis, the solicitor, before Mr. Corrie, the magistrate at Bow-street, and give a statement of the whole transaction, upon which the warrant was issued. While he was relating the strange affair, he pointed out to the magistrate the marks of the injuries ho had received, which were visible on his forehead and neck. The baron arrived in London this morning at eleven o'clock, and will be placed before the magistrate at Bow street Police-court this afternoon. THE FRIGHTFUL ENCOUNTER IN NORTEUMBERLAND-STREET. Nothing of a definite nature has yet transpired toward s elucidating the mystery with which this shocking affair is still surrounded. On the one hand, it is stated that money matters led to the unfortunate occurrence ; while on the other, it is asserted that a lady is in the case. Which of the two statements is the correct one it is impossible to say, and the question must remain unanswered until an inves tigation of the whole affair takes place at Bow-street Police-court. The state of the two men is, notwithstanding the in juries that Roberts has received, satisfactory, owing to the great attention that has been paid to them by Mr. Canton and the other surgeons at Charing-cross Hospital. On Saturday afternoon Mr. Corrie, the magistrate, was sent for to take the statement of Roberts, as it was said he had expressed a wish to give his version of the affair, but on the arrival of the worthy magistrate, Roberts had changed his mind, and said his injuries were yet too painful to allow him to give any information touching the fearful struggle. This afternoon, the answer to inquiries at the hospital was, that Major Murray and Mr. Roberts continue to im prove, although the latter was far from being out of danger. THE DRAIN OF GOLD TO AMERICA. America continues to draw gold from us at the rate usual for some time past. The total sent thi ther sincethe 28th of November is now £8,320,000. The pressure is the less felt here, however, because it is to a considerable extent compensated by the influx of gold from abroad, and partly from the Continent. It must not be forgotten that the Con tinent, as well as this country, owes money to Ame rica, now that the transatlantic consumption of con tinental commodities is checked. France, Germany, and other countries accordingly discharge their debts to America through Engl an d. A good deal of the gold received from the Continent reaches us merely that we may pass it on. We act as agents between the debtor and the creditor. some atten tion has been directed lately to a slight rise in the American ,exchange ; but all the statistics of the trade of America that have yet come under our notice tend . to show that a large balance remains due to her. A recent statement of the exports of cotton from Amercican ports gives those to Great Britain as follows : Season. 1859-60 „ 1866.61 This statement shows that although the last American cotton crop was smaller than in the pre vious year, it has been hurried forward to us faster. But the New York statistics of the general course of trade are conclusive. They show that America is still importing little and exporting much. The latest figures in our possession state the imports into New York for a single week as follows : 1859 .. 1860 .. 1861,.. „ 5,320,753 dole. 3,814,505 ~ 1,950,952 „ From the commencement of the year, the aggre gate import figures are as follows : 1859 .. 1860 .. 1361 .. .. 117,906,666 dols. 109,950,032 „ .. 74,901,310 „ Whilst the imports hare diminished thus largely, he exports have greatly increased. For the week :hey were : 1859 .. 1,546,119 dols. 1860 2,339,908 ~ , 1861 .. 3,336,118 „ And the aggregate export figures from the com mencement of the year stand as under : „ 1859 .. .. 28,515,497 dols. 1860 .. .. 37,910,606 „ 1861 57,911,490 „ As, therefore, the imports into New York since Jan. 1 have been 35,048,772 dols. less than in the same period of last year, and as the exports have been 20,000,884 dols. more than last year, there is a difference of no less than 55,049,606 dols., or about £11,000,000 sterling in favour of America. This is in course of discharge in specie.—Daily News. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.' THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY AND DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY —James Riley, a well-known thief, a resident of that. in. famous den Flower and Dean-street, Spitalfields, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with assaulting Mr. William Dixon, a commercial traveller, on the Queen's highway, putting him in fear, and feloniously taking from his person a purse containing 13s. The prosecutor was on his way home on Saturday night, and while it was raining turned into a public house opposite Whitechapel Church, to obtain some refreshment. "He was not exactly sober and not exactly drunk, but had wee drappie in his e'e,' " and could tell what he was about. The prisoner addressed him as father, and asked him to take part of a pot of beer. The prosecutor foolishly accepted the invitation of the prisoner, drunk some of the malt liquor offered to him, and then became " perfectly insensible." The prosecutor, however, could roc ellect that he was after wards knocked down and robbed. The prisoner here put on that air of surprise and cringing attitude so characteristic of Spitalfields and Whitechapel thieves when in custody, and said, in a whining tone — Please, your worship, the prosecutor's money got in my pocket, but I am sure I don't know how at all for I was drunk. George King, a young man, residing at 7, Mountford street, Whitechapel, said that he observed the pri soner and another man lead the old man, Mr. Dixon, into a retiring place in Mountford-street, at about half- past ten o'clock on Saturday night, and upon his leaving there the prisoner put his right arm round the prosecutor's neck and his left hand in his right trousers pocket, and took from it a purse or bag, which he trans ferred to his own pocket. The prisoner's companion then struck the prosecutor and knocked him down. The two thieves then ran up Mouutford-street, one exclaiming to the other, " Nave you got it, Jack," to which the prisoner answered, " All right." There was no thoroughfare, and the prisoner and his confederate ran back again. The pro secutor got up and ran after the thieves, but he was so in toxicated that ho soon fell down again. The prisoner passed by Whitechapel Church towards Osborne-street, and in his hurry fell down on his back. Before prisoner could recover himself, witness called to a police-constable, and gave him into custody. The prisoner was being led across the street when ho put his hand in his pocket and took the purse from it. Tho policeman's attention was im mediately called to the prisoner's action, and the prosecu tor's purse and money were recovered. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had been ( tried and convicted, and was a returned convict. The prisoner—'4 ill you give me the name and address of that gentleman ? Mr. Sclfe—Yes. Robert Roche, Thames Police-court, Stepney. The prisoner said he had nothing to say to the robbery. Mr. Selfo committed the prisoner for trial, and said the conduct of the witness King was deserving of great praise, and as ho had lost a day's work, awarded him ss. from the poor-box fund. 2111 S DAY'S SLIPPING.

LOSS 01 THE SHIP STAR OF THE EAB7.-OFFICIAL REPORT. The following is the report of Mr. Raffles on the investigation recently held by him at Liverpool with reference to the loss of the ship Star of the East : " To the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade. " My Lords,—According to instructions received from your lordships, I proceeded on the 4th instant, and following day, in conjunction with Capt. Harris, Nautical Assessor of the Board of Trade, to inquire into the circumstances attending the oss of the British ship Star of the East, which was wrecked on the southern coast of Africa, about 20 miles to the westward of Cape Infanta. The Star of the East was a wooden ship of 1,219 tons register. She was built at St. John in 1853. was owned by Messrs. J. Jeazley and others, of Liverpool, and was com manded by Mr. Alfred • Graystone, who holds a cer tificate of competency, dated the 30th of May, 1855. She left Bombay on the 11th of February, 1861, with a crew of 29, all told, and a general cargo of Indian produce. After leaving Bombay her course 'was shaped for the Mozambique Channel. In pas sing through, the ship experienced for the most part variable winds, which kept them near the eastern coast of Africa, by which means she expe rienced strong unfavourable currents, a circumstance well known to the master from previous experience on the coast. At noon on the morning'of the 9th of April, Cape Infanta bore N.N.W., at a distance of 20 miles. The wind was moderate from the southward and westward,which enabled him to make a favour able reach into the land. About 6.15 p.m. the captain decided to tack off shore for the night. The helm was accordingly put down, but the wind having fallen light, and the swell taking her on the bow, she un fortunately missed stays. Some time was lost be fore they could get her head off, and an attempt was made to wear, but in doing so she struck upon an outlying ree f of rocks, and eventually became a total wreck. The coast where she struck was iron bound, and no landing could be effected. The fol lowing morning, between two and three o'clock, the captain and crew were compelled to leave the ship, as the sea washed over her upoa the rising tide, and her decks began to break up. No lives were lost, and on the same day the crew reached Port Beau fort. The captain immediately communicated with Lloyd's Agent, and returned with his assistant to the scene of the wreck. As it was impossible to ap- proach the ship, little or nothing of her cargo was saved. The master appears to have been 22 years at sea, during five of which he was employed in the coasting trade between Cape Town and Port Natal, and professed to be well acquainted with the prevailing winds and currents. This local know ledge, and the fact of his laying up so well at the time, perhaps induced him to stand in somewhat closer than, looking at the result, proved to be con sistent with strict prudence; but as from previous experience he expected a land wind at sunset, and felt confident, as he reasonably might, that his ship would stay, I am disposed to regard the subsequent occurrence more as an unforeseen casualty than an error of judgment amounting to a default. Under these circumstances, no want of sobriety of culpable neglect being proved, 1 have, with the full concur rence of my colleague in the inquiry, felt mj self warranted in returning to Captain Graystone his certificate, with the expression of a hope that the disaster by which so valuable a ship and cargo were lost will be a caution to him for the future. " I have, &c., "T. S. RATTLES, Stipendiary Magistrate. "Liverpool, July 9, 1861." " I concur in the above report, " Hr. HARRIS, Nautical Assessor." FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT RAIL WAY.—STROOD, July 14.—An accident of a serious charac ter occurred at about 8 o'clock on Saturday evening, near the Strood station of the North Kent Railway, whereby one of the company's servants was accidentally killed by one of the breaks falling on him. The down goods train was about to leave for Maidstone, and as the line is on the incline, it is necessary to back the train into the tunnel in order to get a suffic ient s p ace to start; in doing so three or four of the trucks got off the line, just at the mouth of the tunnel, when one of the engine cleaners WftS about to get into the hind break, when it suddenly turned over, kill ing the man instantly. Assistance was at hand, when, on its being raised, the deceased was taken up and placed in the engine-house. He is about 19 years of age. The train contained 26 trucks, moderately laden, with a break in front and rear. The consequence was that the line was blocked up for four or five hours, and the officials succeeded in getting one clear line to work the passenger traffic, but the double line was not clear until it was ready for the down train from London at 9.20. No blame can be attached to any one connected with the line, and the acci dent itself was simply owing to the deceased getting into the break. A letter from Turin of the 9th says:—" The Marquis Caracciolo, a deputy in the Parliament, is about to go to Lisbon on a mission similar to that which the Marquis De Torrearsa fulfils at Stock holm. As to Belgium the Government has not yet sent to it any notification. The system of Count Cavour which is followed by his successor was not to force the march of events, and in particular not to create any embarrassment to Governments whose position might be difficult. With regard to Russia, there is no appearance thus far that the presence of M. De Stackelberg will lead to a renewal of diplo matic relations; and that diplomatist maintains great reserve. The Official Gazette contains several nominations of governors of provinces. Among them is that of Count M. Amari, the Sicilian Sena tor, who is distinguished both by talent and character; he has been appointed to the governor ship of Modena. The choice of the other persons is not so happy, inasmuch as they are not suppos ed to possess superior qualities ; but perhaps they will be found better than their reputation. The Minister of the Interior has dismissed a vast number of governors and intendants (prefectsandfsaucbt-epxreeefeucttesd) in the Kingdom of Naples; he has in a veritable Saint-Bartholomew among them. The victims are altogether unkno wn, .. and probably they are the creatures of M. Liborio Romano. That deputy is very angry at the matter, and in the sitting of the Chamber to-day he wanted to address an interpellation to the Government on the subject; but the President, in accord with the Government, succeeded, not, however, without some difficulty, in postponing it indefinitely. The Ministry is anxious to avoid a Parliamentary debate on the affairs of Naples, and it cannot be blamed, seeing that cir cumstances are not favourable for discussion, and that it is not prudent to pour oil on the Raines." AFFAIRS OF TURKEY. The effect on the money market of the resolute measures deterniined on by the Sultan is thus given in a letter from Constantinople : " The effect on the money market of the new Sovereign's reforming energy has been immense. The fall of Riza Pasha coufirmed, beyond chance of peesent relapse, the tendency towards a fall in the price of specie, and every subsequent step of his Majesty has operated with similar effect. The Im perial hati of Monday, pledging as it directly does the Sovereign and Government to a policy of vigor ous, prompt, and permanent financial reform, has completed the., effect of the previous five days' events, and restored to all minds such a degree of confidence in the money future of the Government as has not been felt for years. The fall in the price of coins has consequently been steady, and prices closed yesterday evening at 1481 p. for liras, and at 140. for sovereigns. Tavilis at the same time improved to 61, and consotides to 58k. If, as there is now good reason to believe will be the case, the overdue interest on these securities were paid, there cannot be a shadow of doubt that the improvement in both will be progressive till they regain a figure in some way proportioned to improved confidence in the solvency and good faith in the Government. No further issue of caiines has taken place during the week, owing to the necessary destruction of those which were in hand with the cypher of the late Sovereign. As soon, however, as others with the cypher of the new Sultan can b e struck off, another instalment of these notes will be put into circula tion, but not, it is believed to any considerable amount at present." On the Ist their Excellencies the French, Aus trian, Prussian, and Russian Ambassadors had an audience of the Sultan at the Palace of Dohnabak tche. The Marquis de Lavalette, as the doyen—in the absence, through continued indisposition of Sir Henry Bulwer— of the party, delivered a short ad dress to his Majesty on the personal character and policy of the late Sovereign. The Sultan replied from manuscript notes, and subsequently inter changed a few sentences with each of the Ministers present. The day after his Majesty received the whole body of pashas en disponsibilite, and in the afternoon the heads of the different native religious communities of the capital. His Highness the Capitan Pasha has been named Marshal of the Palace, the establishment of which has been divided into civil and military departments—the former under the direction of Ghalin Bey, the new First Chamberlain, and the latter under that of Ferik Said Pasha. The chief eunuch has also been removed and replaced by another neutral function ary, who has for many years been attached to the private household of his Majesty. The Civil List is also to be immensely modified, the nominal 15,000.000 piastres a month, drawn by the late Sultan being at once reduced to 7,ooo,ooo—the amount of the list during the reign of Mahmoud I. The saving thus effected will, however, greatly ex ceed the difference between these sums, the extra ordinary expenditure of the palace during the late reign being immensely in excess of the nominal amount drawn from the Treasury. His Majesty has also cleared off the whole of the juvenile part of the late imperial establishment, and has recalled to the palace all the surviving servants of his father. Exclusive of the immense harem of the late Sovereign—the whole of which has been removed to the Old Seraglio and an unused palace on the Asiatic coast—the reductions in the personnel of " the imperial establishment already amount to many hundreds. An imperial mabeinji will proeeed dur ing the present week to Egypt and Tunis to deliver to the Pashas of those dependencies the customary sabre and mantle confirming them in their posses sions under the new Sultan. Their Excellencies Namak Pasha, Kiani Pasha, and Achmet Vefik Effendi are to be named commissioners to examine into the accounts of the imperial household, dating from the building of the new Palace of Dolma baktche. Ziver Effendi, member of the Council of State, has been promoted to the rank of muchir, and appointed guardian of the Prophet's Tomb, in succession to Scodrali Mustapha Pasha, lately de ceased. Franco Effendi has been named Director general of Telegraphs, in succession to Daoud Pasha, appointed governor of the Lebanon. His Excellency Mirza Djaffer Khan, late - Persian Am bassador to England, left on Saturday last with his suite for Trebizond en route for Teheran. Ismail Pasha, heir-presumptive to the Pasha of Egypt, arrived in town on board the Egyptian steam cor vette Zaferie, on Friday last. His highness is staying at the country house of his relative, Mus tapha Pasha. The Pas - ha of Tunis has just remitted his annual tribute to the Treasury-3,500 purses, in a sum of 90,000 five-franc pieces. Letters from Trebizond report the occurrence of a great fire at Orlon, near the former port, on the 11th ult. One hundred and four houses and shops, seven bakeries, one school, one khan, the governor's house, and the custom-house, were destroyed by the flames. Later news reports the occurrence of a sharp shock of earthquake at Kerassunda, in the same neighbour hood, a few days afterwards." POISONOUS _REPTILES. An interesting paper has been addressed to the French Academy of Sciences, by M. Guyon, on the question as to whether the poison of snakes has any effect upon themselves or animals of their kind. Fontana had already shown that the poison of the asp was utterly innocuous when inoculated on vipers of the same species ; but it remained to be seen whether such was equally the case with other kinds of serpents. M. Guyon, therefore, during his stay in Martinique and the adjacent islands, made several experiments to ascertain the effects of the poison of reptiles upon others. In one instance he inserted the fangs of a bothrops lanceolatus, or lance-headed viper, 51ft. long, into the back and tail of two other bothropes. The fangs were as full of poison as they could hold. On the following day he found the table on which the snakes had been crawling about moistened with a viscuous and trans parent liquid, and a similar moisture was apparent round the orifices of the wounds which had been inflicted. This liquid, on being examined, was found. to be poison expelled from the wounds. The reptiles themselves displayed no symptoms of suf fering ; their wounds gradually healed, and for up wards of two months after the creatures appeared as lively and healthy as they had been before the experiment. In another experime nt the poison of individual of bothropes was inoculated in to on e of the same species, and with the same result. The I animal, indeed, died six weeks after the last inocu lation, but this was evidently owing to the nume rous and deep wounds it had received. M. Guyon, at a later period, repeated his experiments in Algeria, on the horned. viper, the Mauritanian and the black-tailed echidnas, &c., inoculating the poi son of the former into the latter, and conversely, with the same result. M. Guyon therefore arrives at the conclusion that the poison of serpents has no effect either on themselves or on their class,.whether transmitted from one individual to another of the same species, or from that of one species to those of 1 1 another. CRIME IN FRANCE. As three soldiers of the Ist Regiment of Grena diers of the Guard were returning, the evening be fore last, in a state of intoxication, from the fete at Boulogne to their barracks at Rueil, they got into a quarrel with a drunken man whom they met, and after a while declared that they would arrest him ; but some persons who were near would not allow him to be taken, as he had not done anything wrong. The soldiers then became irri tated and drew their swords, but one of the per sons, a man of extraordinary strength, the men down one after another. The soldiers, though exasperated, went away, but soon after re turned, and rushed at different persons with their attacked them and they swords. One of them wounded one man., would probably have committed more serious mis chief if the people attacked had not armed them selves with stakes which they found in a vineyard close at hand. With thesewthhielye ~ Help! murder !" bfeing heard the soldiers, and after a vigorously overpowered and gave them into custody. Loud cries of the night before last in a room under the roof occupied by a workvroman in the Rue des Dames, at the Batignolles, a man named Coutier, residing in an adjacent room, entered and found an elderly man struggling with the female on the floor, and trying to cut her throat with a large knife. Ile dragged the man away, and placed his foot on him to prevent him from getting up ; but as he was without shoes, the man inflicted two wounds on his foot with the knife. Immediately after, Coutier wrested the knife from him, on which the man got out of the win dow on to the roof, and went to an adjacent house, in which it was known he resided. He was sought for there, and was found lying on the floor, with a deep wound ie his throat, which he had evidently inflicted himself. Ho was sent to the hospital in custody, and it was there ascertained that his wound was not dangerous. Medical assistance *as also procured for the woman, and her wound likewise turned out not to be serious. It appears from the -woman's statement that though the man is 60 years of age, an intimate connection had existed between them for some time, but that as he was of a violent character and jealous, she had been obliged to break it off. He had often pressed her to renew it, but she always refused. On the even ing in question he had entered her room, the w in dow of which she had left open, and had entreated her to be friends again :she, however, once more refused, and he then attempted to murder herivi narrated.
