2POTTINGHAM RACES.—(This Day.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) BUNNEY PARK STAKES. Ididdleton Maid 1 Blackcock 2 Five ran. ZIONBY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The money market remains in a very quiet state, and as the inquiries are exceedingly moderate, the banks and discount houses are transacting business on lower terms. The rates for the best bills now range from a to f, per cent. below the minimum at the Bank of England, and advances can be obtained on the Stock Exchange as low as 3 to 3* per cent. A small amount of gold, viz., £5,000, was sent into the Bank of England yesterday, but 50,000 Sovereigns were withdrawn for exportation. The Shannon, which. left to-day for the West Indies, took out only £4,563 in gold. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon exhibited a slight decline in the rates on Antwerp and Vienna. Gold is now 4-10ths per cent. dearer in London th an in Paris, and about 8-10ths per cent. higher here than in Hamburg- A fair amount of b us i ness was reporte d i n t h e Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were firmly maintained. The sales were 10,000 bales. At the meeting of the Bank of London, held to day, the report, of which the following is an extract, ' Pr aa u nanimously adopted :—The result of the ope rations of the Bank for the past half-year has been unus ually favourable. The balance of profit and "a account amounts to £37,580 2s. 6d. After Payment of all expenses, making ample provision for bad and doubtful debts, and allowing for rebate of interest on bills discounted not yet due, there remains available the sum of £17,543 13s. 9d, The directors are, therefore, enabled to declare a divi dend at the rate of £5 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, and to carry to the reserve fund the sum of £lO,OOO, by which addition that fund is in creased to £41,000. The balance, viz., £43 13s. 9d., is transferred to the credit of profit and loss account of the current half-year. At the half-yearly meeting of the London and Westminster Bank, held to-day, a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum and a bonus of 7 per cent. on the paid-up capital was unanimously agreed to. There has been rather a heavy market for Public Securities to-day, but the variation has been very limited. Consols are 891 90 for money, and 901 I for the account. The advices from America, and the large supply of money stock, have Produced an unfavourable effect.

En faced Paper is firm at 94t, and ditto 5 per Cent. 1011. The New Indian Loan Scrip is 1001. Continued buoyancy prevails in the Foreign Stock Market, and the dealings have been rather ac tive. Turkish 6 per Cents. have risen to 79 80 ; uitto 1858, to 651 661 ; ditto £lOO Bonds, to 67 68 ; M exican to 228 ; Peruvian to 96i ; but Buenos Ayres have receded to 83 84 ; and Brazilian are fiat at 99. Business in the Railway Share Market has con tinued rather dull, and in some instances prices have shown less firmness. Caledonian, Great Western, Lancashire, North-Western, and North- Eastern (Berwick) declined ss. ; and Midlands, 10s. ; Eastern Counties and Great Northern have tligEtly improved. In the Foreign and Colonial lines prices have shown little variation. Namur and Liege, Great Western of Canada, East Indian, and Great Indian Peninsula have realised previous rates. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have remained at about previous values. Oriental Bank realise 49! ; London Joint Stock, 3l ; Aus tralian Agricultural declined toCrystal Palace Qtaek realised 32; and Royal Mail Steam, 491 50. 3 Per Ce nt.

Leverrier's statement concerning the! c omet, which we gave on Wednesday last, the most 1 in teresting communication received at the last s itting was that of M. Guyon, on the hot springs of -1 ) 131 1 Shater, in the regency of Tunis. The village °l ' that name stands on the site of Utica, where Cato Al. Fuyon is the first European who visited these spri ngs , w hi c h h e did i n 1850 , b e i ng a tt rac t e d t 0 the spot by a group of women, who were sitting aro und them, and calling out " Alio° ! Alio° !" u 3 ):, Which they meant to invite a large tortoise ,k - iyde le rose to come to them. Thi s crea t ure has bee n living there from time immemorial, and is therefore in odour of sanctity among the in habitants. M. Guyon saw it again alive and well , 41 1856. The women of the loc a lit y go d a il y to feed it, when it comes out of its retreat, and a llows itself to be taken up without difficulty. The springs rise at the foot of a palm tree, north ( f Bon-S hater, forming a basin about two metres i ) i " t t,.., o diameterl whence the waste water spreads out 13 ' , the ad joining ground for want of a regular and forms a marsh of some extent, covered kith reeds and other plants peculiar to this sort o soil. The inhabitants wash their linen and Xool E i al in this water, and their cattle drink of it 3 '• Czsar mentions these springs in his Corn )2tar2es stating at the same time that they . lib „ the ground marshy. .(De Bello Cloth, b ' 11, 24). At that time Utica lay . on the . seat fro While it is now about three miles distant f The water itself is clear, and has no ar„tte ; the inhabitants use it for their drink,. es ztet having let it cool. Its temperature varies, c en t ding to the season, between 36 and 40 deg. li rn grade (95 and 104 Fehr.) It contains sods, magnesia, and traces of iron and phosphorus; i n t he most remarkable ingredient is arsenic acid, Nchr,! contains f arseniates of potash and soda, of er -e ,," it as much as one-sixth of its weight. of til ; a gain the identity of these springs with those soid i " c a is confirmed, since Appianus states that the dr t ,„* .e js of Curio, having encamped on this site, and a t e' . of these waters, were seized with vomiting, hist °til er symptoms of poisoning; nor does the th e ° h.. ri an at all hesitate to ascribe these effects to Aois a —Lali gnity of the inhabitants, who, he says, co u n t ed the wells. But how can the fact be ac co%"rd for that at the present day these waters *as e-8 1 .7. ne inconvenience to the inhabitants, who t i c T em freely M. Guyon enters into some dis h ' v s ; Cltt this point, and observes that these springs, a ; p i g , 11 8 is not unfrecinently the case, shifted their 11 9. °61- ; " ~s i nee the time of the Romans, in copse th 11 : 11 ; ° ;1 °` some earthquake or other convulsion . of Pre r , - „ c), may have formerly been much more im sn 'gated with arsenic than at present. We would . W a gest also that habit may have rendered the in cisei,tar4B Proof to the poison, arsenic being pre s: to J, oo e of those to which the body may get accu . ; witness the arsenic-eaters of Hungary, vps n. o the " d rug in order to acquire a florid complexion. 1.1.:1? Roman soldiers, being new comers, could n drinl t i ? be attacked with alarming th E , • In g such waters as those described: whereas symptoms on ante of that period may on'the contrary, 'g those of the present, have found them beneficial, STARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY).

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) His Honour disposed of a short list of cases. A meeting for choice of assignee was held in the matter of Charles Harden, of 113, Fenchurch-street, warehouseman, and a representative of White & Co., Gresham-street, was chosen assignee. Mr. C. E. Lewis is solicitor to the estate. IN RE STEWART. This bankrupt had carried on business in the country and came up for a certificate. The only feature in the 'case was that the whole of the property had been swept away by a creditor and there was nothing for the creditors, and there was no opposition, as the costs must have fallen on the assignees or individual creditors. His Honour said that the case was not at all creditable, but as the matter had been left in the hands of the court he would grant a certificate of the third class. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and Jury.) BRAMWELL V. FELLS.-ALLEGED TOUTING AT CRIMINAL COURTS.-CURIOUS CASE. This was an action upon a bill of costs , plaintiff, an at torney, appearing in person, and Mr. Thmapson, a barrister, appearing for defendant. It appeared that defendant, a marine-store dealer, of Chelsea, had been given into custody by a publican, and he was tried at the Middlesex Sessions and acquitted. Upon his acquittal an action was brought against the publican for false imprisonment, and that action was settled for £2O. Plaintiff, however, had not been paid hie costs, hence the present action. Mr. Hempson, managing clerk to plainiff, was subjected to a very searching cross-examination by Mr. Thomp son, and it appeared that witness wss formerly clerk to a Mr. Brown, lately deceased.. That Fell in• structed witness from time to time, but never saw plaintiff. That a person named Bond had received the money from the publican's attorney, and. alleged that he had lost £lO. Bond was a kind of broker or agent, and had introduced business to witness. Ile might have introduced this case. Mr. Thompson then said this was a case which ought to be well investigated by a jury. He (Mr. Thompson) would state that a practice was prevalent at the courts of " tout ing" for business, and clients were picked up, and if an acquittal ensued actions for false imprisenm ent were brought. This was one of those cases, and Bond was the touter. Bond had received the money, and it was he 'who had introduced the business. Bond was called and asked, " Are you called Lawyer Bond 2" to which he answered, " I don't know." He ad mitted having received the money, and said he had lost £lO. Ho expected his share, so it was not all loss. Mr. Bramwell--Did 1 ever promise ycu anything. Witness—No. I never saw you befor e in my life. Fell said that when he was asked if he would bring the action, he said they might do as they liked, anc he was promised that they would not charge him anything, Cross-examined—l never signed the etainer produced. Bond is known as lawyer Bond. Mr. Bramwell repudiated all notion of touting, and com plained that Bond had received the £lO without any authority. The learned Secondary in summing ul said the plaintiff had brought a great deal upon himself V mixing up with improper persons. The jury found a verdict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY AND AGGRAVATED ASSAULT ON Two GENTLEMEN.—August Lascelin and John. Baptiste Ver dert, two Frenchmen, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting Mr. Frederick Everitt, merchant, of 39, Welbeck-street, and also Mr. Robert Bond, secretary to the Brunswick Iron Works, Staffordshire. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoners. From the evidence of Mr. Everitt it appeared that he was walking up Regent-street last night in company of Mr. Bond, two other friends having gone a little way on, when a female called after the prisoners, and they then turned round, and one of them seized him (Mr. Everitt) and struck him. He then heard his friend, Mr. Bond, call out " I'm being strangled." He then went to his friend's assistance, and found that Lascelin had got his friend's thumb in his mouth, and was biting it. Mr. Robert Bond, of 39, Welbeck-street, confirmed Mr. Everitt, and said that the prisoners seized him one behind and one before by his cravat, and tried their utmost to strangle him. Lascelin then got his thumb in his mouth and bit it severely, and at the same time tried to gouge out his right eye with his thumb. (The witness's eye seemed to have been much injured.) Hullingford, one of the officers of the court, said he was crossing Regent-street and witnessed part of the assault, and saw Lascelin with Mr. Bond underneath him. Mr. Bond was calling out at the time that he (Lascolin) was strang ling him, and Mr. Bond was at the timeblack in the face. Other constables having given evidence, and Mr. Lewis having cross-examined the witnesses, Mr. Albert, the in terpreter, read over the evidence to the pisoners. Mr. Lewis said the whole affair arose though Mr. Everitt having unfortunately repeated a word used by the female, signifying " bully." Mr. Tyrwhitt, having made some reriarks on.the case, fined Lascelin 405., or one - month, for tie assault on Mr. Everitt, and the same for the assault on Mr. Bond ; and Verdant 405., or one month, for the assault on Mr. Bond. AQUATICS. GREAT BOAT RACE FOE £lOO. The antagonism of the North and Sou;h was continued yesterday in a scullers' contest between Robert Clasper, the son of Henry Clasper, of the Tyne, and Edward Eagers, of Chelsea, and a finer race has been rarel:f seen. It unfor tunately happened that the demerits of I, foul were called into account, a circumstance in every wey to be regretted, as most unsatisfactory to those who had speculated large sums upon the result. The distance was from Putney to Mortlake, and the odds 7to 4 and 2to len Eagers. Tire race did not start until nearly eight at night, when a great number accompanied it on board steamers and in small boats. Clasper won the choice of stations, and took the Middle sex side. The men, both very small, looked well, and were evidently anxious to get to work. The start was very fine, and both men had their skulls at work at the same moment. Clasper had a lead of about a foot, and at au extraordinary pace they began their race, the water being as smooth as a well-kept bowling-green. In arninuteEagers was•level with his man, and then in the succeeding three or four strokes they made alternate shoots, still continuing at a great pace. At Craven Cottage Clasper had drawn himself clear, but just as they got to Hammersmith-bridge, Eagers, rowing anew and with great power, came right upon his adversary, and a foul was necessarily the result. At that time Clasper was lead ing by three-quarters of his length, and, getting away, was at work again in fine style, when Eagers a second and a third time foiled him, and then went in front. At first Clasper did not seem disposed to row, but, again applying himself to the work, came within a length and a half of Eagere, in which position they fini s h e d . T he re f eree, M r . that Clasper had fai rl y wo n the stakes, in which decision Ireland, age a gentleman of the London R ow i ng club, decided r every impartial aquatic man concurred. 2.711 S DAPS SKIPPING.

The Lords' amendments to the following bills were con sidered and agreed to :—Bolton Corporation; Brighton, Uckfield, and Tunbridge Wells Railway; Hawick Police and' Improvement; and Stockport, Timperley, and Al trincham Junction Railway Bills. MINES TRESPASSES PREVENTION BILL. Mr. SHERIDAN, in moving th© second reading of this bill, said that its object was to prevent the depredations that wer e frequently committed in miner, by which a great loss was inflicted on mine proprietors. By the present law very little provision was made to meet these injuries, and serious complaints were made in consequence by parties who were unable to obtain redress. The only remedy at present was an application to the Court of Chan cery, which was a very roundabout process, or an action at common law for trespass. Before the commence ment of such action, however, the injury was committed, and very frequently no redress was obtained, as the persons who were the offending parties were frequently men of straw, and in many cases the injury was not discovered until legal remedy was barred by the Statute of Limitation. What he proposed by the bill was, to enable a mine owner, on his making an affidavit before the Judges in Chambers, that he believed an injury had been inflicted on his pro perty, to obtain an order for inspecting the same. The hon. member here read extracts from the evidence of mine inspectors, to show the extent to which those injuries were carried. Mr. PAULL said that, although his name was on the back of the bill, he informed the hon. member who intro duced it that he was opposed to its provisions, as it had not the approval of mine proprietors generally. Mr. CLIVE opposed the bill, which was objectionable because even on suspicion an underground warrant could be obtained before the: injury was ascertained, which took it out of the category of the law relating to injury be tween man and man. To justify the introduction of such a measure, it should be shown that some great public interest was involved, and he advised his hon . friend to withdraw the bill. Mr. DENMAN said he was surprised that the Solicitor- General (now the Attorney-General) had opposed this bill, which he believed was in accordance with the liberal principles which had actuated the present Government. The hon. and learned gentleman mentioned many cases which had come within his own experience which showed that justice had been defeated on account of conscientious objections to taking an oath. Witnesses in such cases were not allowed to give evidence, and were not unfre quently punished for their refusal. The evidence of such persons would in many cases be more to be relied upon than the evidence of those who readily took the oath, and never thought about it afterwards. _The house went into committee on the bill. The various clauses having been agreed to, the bill was reported to the house, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. SHERIFFS' COURT (SCOTLAND) (No. 2) BILL. This bill was withdrawn. INDICTABLE OFFENCES (METROPOLITAN DISTRICT) BILL. The consideration of this bill was postponed till this day week. • LOCAL GOVERNMENT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill, as amended, was considered and agreed to. IRREMOVABLE POOR BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. METROPOLIS LOCAL ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. The clauses to 71 inclusive were agreed to. (LEFT SITTING.) THE LATEST EXCAVATIONS AT POMPEIL A letter from Naples, dated July , 6, says :—The judicious manner in which the exhumation of the city of Pompeii is now being carried on, and the interesting discoveries which have been recently made there, render a visit to that locality more than usually attractive, in spite of the heat, dust, and danger of reactionary marauders who infest the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. I must own that, often as I have wandered about the solitary streets of Pompeii at different periods, it had never as yet been my lot to find the implements of modern war fare mingled with the relics of the past; but in my last visit a few days ago, whilst examining the new Therms, in the street of Holconius I picked up a leaden bullet, which could not possibly be taken for the glans of some Roman slingsman, and as I saw a newly inflicted round fracture on the decorated wall immediately above the spot where the bullet was lying, I concluded that the missile had been recently discharged from a bona fide modern musket. My guide confirmed this supposi tion by informing me that in Consequence of the erratic propensities of King Francis's partisans, and their nocturnal predatory habits, the National Guards and villagers of the environs were kept continually on the alert, and that stray bullets were frequently dropping into the houses and temples of Pompeii. Without calling your attention to what has already been frequently described, I will limit my brief notice of the operations now going on to the most recent and hitherto unpublished discoveries. These have been made nearly opposite to the new Thermse, and have revealed a house consisting of 16 rooms, besides kitchen, offices, and two shops on each side of the entrance. The peristyle, irregular in form, consists of 14 yellow and white columns, which offer the peculiarity of having leaden pipes inserted into them, which, at about three feet from the pavement, threw jets of water towards the tank iu the centre of the atrium, which was also adorned with a fountain and statue of Cupid, on a base repre senting the rape of Europa. In this atrium was found an iron brazier, with coals still in it. No other moveable objects were found in the house, but the de corations on the walls were in good style and excel lent preservation, especially in the gyneeciunz or women's apartments. Amongst the striking subjects I noted down " Apollo and Daphne ;" " Ulysses discovering Achilles disguished in female apparel ;" " The Judgment of Paris," a composition which I fonnd extremely curious for the costume of that classic personage. The painter had represented him in a Phrygian cap, a green tunic tied with a yellow sash, and a crimson mantle over it, yellow stockings, and white shoes, with red soles and heels, and red ribbons. The two elder godesses were also fantastically draped, but Venus revealed her naked charms to the arbiter of celestial beauty. Another remarkable painting represented a Satyr, uncover ing a beautiful sleeping figure of Ariadne, towards whom Bacchus was approaching with a triumphant air, followed by a joyous troop of nymphs and bacchantes. In the next house to the one I have just men tioned the decorations on the walls are inferior, but the objects found are of great value and in terest. In the atrium appears a marble table supported by two legs finely carved in the form of winged lions. There is alsoton a pedestal a well executed bust, probably that of the proprietor, with the name—C. Cornelius Rufus. The moveable treasures discovered consist of two bronze busts, evidently likenesses, presenting the peculiarity of glass and amber eyes—these are now in the national (formerly Borbonico) museum—a large fragment of a bronze cabinet, with six knobs, elegantly worked into busts of bacchantes and fauns. The bottom of the inside of this cabinet was of gold, and it con tained two buttons or medallions of gold, repre senting the head of Penelope on an enamelled ground. There was also a large gold ring, with a cornelian intaglio of Hercules, of Greek chisel, and the name of the engraver, an addition which always enhances the value of such works. Several other rings were found and about 60 silver coins. As a continuation of the fresco decorations in their uncovered exposure to the atmosphere would infallibly lead to their destruction in a very short time, it has been resolved to remove the best of them to the museum ; and this will be effected not by sawing out a piece of the wall, as hereto fore, but by transferring the picture to cloth ac cording to the method now n practice at Rome, whence two skilful artists in that delicate process have lately arrived to und ertake the operation. Under the direction of the inspector•general, Don Giuseppe Fiorello, and the chief architect Don Gaetano Genovesi, the excavations are proceeding in a methodical but rapid manner, and the unco vering of the whole city which, in the same ratio as the portion hitherto revealed, would have required about four centuries, is expected to be effected in 15 years. A tram-way has been laid down fa the removal of the earth and ashes out of the city, and a large number of lab3urers are now engaged in opening a street behind the new Thermo 3, which leads from the Via di Strabia to the Forum, and may be expected to give interesting results. I saw the houses excavated under the inspection of King Victor Emmanuel during his visit to Pompeii, but they turned out to be rather mean residences, situated at the back of the Forum, devoid of deco rative or architectural beauty, but highly interest ing on account of the number of bronze and other utensils and coins discovered in them.

A good start was effected, Prince of Denmark instantly going to the front, having Bradfield, Calpe, Rosamond, Prologue, and Heiress in Indian file in the order given. On coming along in front of the Stand the first time the same order was maintained, the Prince leading at least four lengths. This distance was lessened on coming round the back, where Calpe and Brad field took closer order with' the leader; Heiress, apparently disliking the pace, was tailed off. On going along the deep sand up to the Mansfield-road turn, the three leaders were well ahead of the others, but rounding the turn, Bradfield fell back, and Prologue passed him and was third; in the straight, half-way down which the race was confined to the two leading horses (Prince of Denmark and Calpe), they raced on in close order to the half distance, where Calpe ap peared to tire, and the Prince, running the gamest, won cleverly by half a length. Rosamond passed Prologue be tween the distance post and the chair, and finished five lengths from Calpe ; Prologue was fourth ; Bradfield pulled up beaten, and was placed fifth; Heiress, who was last throughout, did not pass the post.

There was a little speculation on the Burghley Handi cap, run for on Thursday at Stamford, for which Carbineer was supported at 3 to 1, Weatherbound at 4 to 1, and 5 to 1 was taken about Anthem, but that price against the latter was hardly obtainable at the close. For the Goodwood Stakes, Elcho and Canary were backed, and 7 to 1 was taken about Schism, but afterwards offered. For the Good wood Cup, 5 to 1 was taken freely against Optimist ; The Wizard and Ben Webster were also backed, but not to so large an amount.
