NONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocE. During the past week the accounts from the manufacturing districts have again been of an unsatisfactory character, partly owing to the pro gress of political events in America. At Man chester the dealings had been limited, and confined almost exclusively to home requirements. The woollen trade at Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has continued inactive, but a fair amount of business has been done in the hosiery trade, at Leicester, lii nekley, and Nottingham. In the various hard- Ware districts there is little change of importance to record, the principal dealing s h av i ng b een f or home demand, in connection with harvest work. A few orders, however, have been received at Bir- Illingham and Sheffield from Canada and Germany. A considerable amount of business was recorded in the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and Prices were steady. The sales were about 8,000 bales. About £16,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England on Saturday. The Sultan, from Lisbon, has arrived with about £ 2 ,800 in specie. ; A lthough there is very little alteration to notice 4 the general condition of the Money Market, the I nquiries h ave s li ghtly increased, wh i ch i s attr ib uted ° the expenditure in the agricultural districts e ,Wing to the operatio ns connected with the harve s t. ~ 4 4 rates, moreover, are rather firmer, but no actual change has yet occurred, and the best bills are still negotiable as low as 4a per cent. In con sequence of the continuo u s influx of gold into the Ban k of England and the favourable accounts of 1,7 4 crops, there is still a confident expectation that ` tie reased easiness will speedily prevail. T he Market for Public Securities has been ex ceedingly dull to-day, and the attendance of the nienibers is very limited.

Really fine samples were disposed of at full prices ; otherwise the trade ruled dull, at bareley rates. Barley, oats, beans, and peas were rather easier to buy. The flour trade was steady for good and fine marks. On the Continent very little has been doing in produce :or export ; but in the United States a further advance has occurred in the value of both wheat and flour. The arrival of English grain up to our market last week was , only moderate. From abroad, we received 32,555 quarters of wheat, 2,439 barley, 17,789 oats, 4,245 peas, 2,233 linseed, 5,154 rapeseed, 40 sundry seeds, :275 sacks and 23,636 barrels of flour. For' the time of year the show of old home-grown wheats was rather extensive, and the trade for them ruled very heavy, at barely last Monday's currency. The supply of new samples amounted to about 1,100 quarters, for the most part in 'good condition, and sales progressed steadily, at from 565. to 665. per quarter. In consequence of the favour able weather for harvesting, a considerable amount of pro duce will will be " carried " to-day. We were again well supplied with foreign wheat, and the trade generally was in a sluggish state, at barely late rates. There was a moderate but not to say extensive demand for France. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a fair extent, at full prices. . _ Old grinding and distilling barley sold heavily, on rather easier terms. A few new samples of malting barley came to hand in even finer condition than last week, the finest of which were worth about 40s. per quarter. For malt there was a limited demand, at late rates. Good and fine oats freely supported previous currencies, but inferior parcels were rather cheaper. A few new samples were on offer. Very few beans were on sale. In prices no change took place. New white peas commanded 40s, and new grey parcels 38s to 40s per quarter. X Good and fine marks of flour sold steadily, at full quota tions ; otherwise the trade ruled slow, on former terms.

BOW-STREET. ATTEMPTING TO PASS COUNTERFEIT COIN..—TWO men, named Evans and Lennard, were charged with utter ing counterfeit coin. The prosecutor, a publican, in Hart-street, said—Evans came into my house this morning and asked for beer, and threw down a counterfeit half-crown in payment of a pint. The barmaid saw the coin was bad, and cut it t o p i eces and returned it to the prisoners. I then recognised one of the men as having pa`ssed a gilded sixpence at my shop. watched them through Holborn, and then on getting near home I told the police, and they were taken into cus tody. • The Magistrate—The mistake made was giving th e counterfeit coin back to the utterer. The coin must be pro. duced in evidence before the jury. The Constable said they were both well known to Ser geant Holmes as utterers of base coin. The Magistrate—Have they been in custody before P The Constable—l don't know them, but Sergeant Holmes knows them well. This officer was sent for, but being absent from the sta tion-house, The Magistrate said it would be useless to send the pri soners for trial, as there wotad net be the slightest chance of a conviction.' • The prisoners were discharged with a caution. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN AWKWARD MlSTAKE.—Catherine Moore, cook to Mrs. Gwinner, of George-street, Hanover-square, was charged with stealing a purse containing money, the pro perty of her mistress. Mrs. Gwinner said that on Saturday afternoon she went down into her kitchen to give her housemaid a letter to post, and left her purse on the kitchen table. She charged the prisoner with taking it as she could not find it, but sub sequently she found it in a hole in the carpet. Mr. Mansfield—How long has the prisoner been with you? Prosecutrix—kbout six weeks. I had a character with her. Mr. Mansfield—lt's unfortunate you should have given the accused into custody. Prosecutrix—l am now sorry. The accused crying, said—My character is gone now. . - Mr. MansfieldLYOUr character is not a bit worse than it was before. The lady says she gave you into custody by mistake. You are discharged. The accused left the court crying. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The show of foreign stock on offer here to-day was large, and sales progressed slowly in all descriptions, at in some instances a decline of 2d per 81bs. From our grazing districts the arrivals of beasts were seasonably extensive, for the most part in fair condition. All breeds met a dull inquiry, and for middling and inferior descriptions prices further gave way 2d per 81b. The ge neral top quotation was 4s 8d per 81bs. About 2,000 shorthorns, crosses, &c., came to hand from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire ; 800 various breeds from other parts of England ; 180 Scots and crosses from Scotland, and 160 oxen from Ireland. We were fairly supplied with English, but extensively with foreign sheep, and the mutton trade ruled heavy. Prime Downs and half-breds supported last Monday's cur rency—the tap quotation for mutton being 5s 4d to, in a few instances, 5s 6d per 81bs; otherwise prices ruled in favour of the butcher to the extent of 2d per Blbs. • The lamb trade was very dull, at fully the late decline in prices. The primest breeds sold at 5s 8d per 81b. The demand for calves—the supply of which was mode rate—was in a sluggish state at late rates. Prime veal realised 4s 6d per Blbs.

PRIMROSE-HlLL.—Tvlost persons think (says the Ath enmunz) that Primrose •hill now forms a park and belongs to the public. But the fact is that very much the greater portion of the northern side belongs to Eton College, and is separated from the public park by palings. There is reason to think that unless the Government purchase the remain ing part, it will soon be cut up for building; the conse quence of which will be, not merely that the ground will be lost, never to be recovered by the public, but all the northern view from the brow will be reduced to backs of houses.

WILD SPORTS OF THE EAST.—Margaret Donovan, a strapping Irishwoman, with a large baby in her arms, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with cutting and wounding Margaret Halloran, who came into the court groaning loudly, and with her head enveloped in surgical bandages, on which the words "London Hospital" were printed. _ _ _ IThe complainant put in a medical certificate, which stated that she had been treated for a lacerated scalp and nose. She stated that the and Mrs. Donovan lived in Rachel's-court, Rosemary-lane, Whitechapel. On Saturday night she quarrelled with Mrs. Donovan, and they fought with their " fists" and their nails. Ten minutes afterwards the prisoner came to her with stones and struck her with them on the face and head, and " cleaved her skull." The prisoner then flung her on the ground and bit her nose, and said the would bite it off. The prisoner had a drop taken when she "'fit" with her. Mr. Woolrych—And you had a drop taken? Witness—Well, just a little drop. The prisoner in her defence said she was quarrelling with her husband, and Mrs. Halloran interfered, which she had no right to do, and sho struck Mrs. Halloran, who returned the blow and bit her arms and face. Mrs. Hal loran was a person she never assooiated with, and was too low for her. Mrs. Halloran—Low, indeed, and you are drunk every day. Mr. Woolrych—You are both ill-conducted women, and owing to the dreadful vice of drunkenness, which brutalises the human race more than any other vice, you have fought like wild beasts. It is really dreadful to find women de basing themselves in this horrible manner. The prisoner is sentenced to seven days' imprisonment and hard labour for an aggravated assault. MIS DAY'S SKIPPING.

The report of the directors has been published : —The half-yearly accounts to the 30th June, 1861, show the net revenue for the six months, after de ducting interest on loans, and all other preferential charges, to:be £142,970 15s. 5d.• add surplus at Dec. .31,1860, .£1,791 'l7s. Od.; balance available for dividend, £144,762 13s. 2d. From the above sum the directors recommend that a dividend be declared at the rate of £4 per cent. per annum, payable on • the 29th day . of August, amounting ; on £7,200,256 of paid-up capital to £144,005 2s. 4d.; leav ing to be carried 'over to next half-year £757 10s. 10d. The increase in the gross revenue for the half-year, over the correspond ing period in 1860, is £51,142 earned over 501 additional miles opened since that time. The grbss receipts exceed those of the former year by the sum of £51,142. The amount on the 501 additional tniles open is below the average receipt per mile on the number of miles open in 1860. This causes the working expenses to be out of proportion to the increased receipts; added to which the coin- pany are at this time paying interest and preferen tial charges on an increased capital of upwards of £649,000 above that of the corresponding period. The traffic has been affected by exceptional circum stances during the last half-year. For a portion of the time, on account of the severity of the weather, the Exeter line was partly closed. The state of the trade of the country has also tended to re duce the receipts on this, as well as on other railways. The traffic, however, is now steadily on the increase. The locomotive superinten dent's report shows that 313,024 more miles have been run than during the corresponding period last year. The rate per mile, however, will, the directors say, compare favourably with any railway of similar extent and working. Although no new engines have been constructed out of revenue dur ing the last half year, 32 have been entirely new tubed, the expense of which amounts nearly to the cost of constructing three new engines. The maintenance of the permanent way has been an expensive charge during the past winter, owing to an extremely wet season and the long continuance of the severe frost. The road, however, has been maintained in good working order. £lO,OOO is again charged to revenue on account of the renewal of permanent way, leaving at the debit of that account £57,782 4s. 4d. The Topsham branch and the extension to Exmouth were opened in May last. The latter is worked by this company for the Exmouth company, in conformity with previous arrangements. The traffic has, since the opening, been of a satisfactory character. Considerable progress has been made towards the completion of the junction between the Northernhay and St. David's stations at Exeter, and in connexion with it the Bristol and Exeter Company are proceeding with the necessary re-arrangement of their St. David's station. Yeovil station, constructed at the joint expense of the Bristol and Exeter Company and this company, was opened for traffic on the Ist day of July last. The purchase of the undertaking of the Chard Railway Company, as authorised by the special general meeting of the proprietors, in May last, has been completed, and the works will be proceeded with in due course. The House of Commons have rejected bills, by which it was proposed to authorise a new railway be tween Sherborne and , Yeovil, closely :parallel to the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway, and for two new railways into Southampton, viz., from Peters field by Bishop's Waltham, on the east; and from the Andover and Redbridge Railway, by Shirley, on the west. The directors advise liberal arrangements with the Andover and Redbridge Railway, if, in stead of seeking, in a manner thrice condemned by Parliament, to set up and develop undertakings in hostility to this company, they would meet the board in a spirit of conciliation and with a view to' the completion and working of their railway in har mony with this company's system. It is obviously too late for the South-Western Company to contend fur ther that the Andover and Redbridge line ought not to have received the sanction of parliament, or ought not now to be constructed mainly as authorised, and it would be equally unwise for its proprietors to con tinue their contention in favour of extensions in hostility to this company. Parliament has decided both these points, and both companies would do well frankly to accept its decisions, and to make arrange ments in the spirit of them. The proprietors have already authorised the purchase by this company of the Epson and Leatherhead Railway. The purchase has been accordingly effected ; and in the session of 1860 an act was passed authorising its completion. The provisions of that act are such as to require that the matter should be again submit ted to the proprietors for their formal sanction; and a resolution will be proposed accordingly. By the Epsom and Leatherhead purchase act, and by the acts severally authorising the construction of the Exeter Junction Railway—the laying down of the narrow gauge on the Exeter and Crediton Railway —and the construction of the Yeovil Joint Station, the company has been enabled to create further amounts of share capital for those respective pur poses, amounting to £100,000; and it is proposed to take the authority of the meeting for the exer cise of the powers thus conferred. The directors have on a former occasion reported to the proprie tors that they had agreed to work the Dorset Cen tral Railway (Wimborne to Blandford). The ex tended instrument with reference to this arrange ment will be submited for the formal. adoption of the meeting. In consequence of the large increase of goods traffic, and the impossibility of carrying it on at Nine Elms together with the locomotive esta blishment, it is found to be absolutely requisite that new buildings should be constructed for the loco motive department. The plans are now under con sideration, and the directors are assured that the saving in labour And deterioration will be fully commensurate with the iiierest on the outlay. The scheme for superannuation alluded to at last half yearly meeting is not yet in a state to be laid be fore the shareholders. The scheme, however, is before the directors, who will be prepared to bring the subject before the shareholders at the next meeting. 1001 i 100 941 4 i ILWAYS. 11 10i 11 WEATHER EXP. North Britain . East Coast .... South Coast... Ireland . NORTH BRITISH. On Friday an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the North British Railway was held at Glasgow ; Richard Hodgson, Esq., chair man of the company, presiding. The advertisement calling the meeting having been read, _ _ The CHAIRMAN said, in moving certain resolu tions to carry out the objects contemplated in the advertisement which the shareholders had just heard read, it would not be necessary for him to do '-more than make a very few observations, be cause the whole business they had to do was, in point of fact, to do what they had re solved to do long ago—viz., to raise capital for certain specific purposes, under certain specific Acts of Parliament. The directors having thought it advisable not to raise a number of very small sums, which the company were entitled to raise under different acts, had agreed to join them together into one amount, which would make in all a snm of £296,820. In the first place there was £8,460 proposed to be raised by the North British and Selkirk Railways Amalgamation Act. This had in point of fact been advanced by the North British Railway already, and the capital now sought to be raised was to replace the capital al ready advanced under these acte. The same re mark applied to a portion of the sum to be raised under the North British and Jedburgh Amalga mation Act, viz., £4,420, which to some extent had been advanced by the North British Com pany. But there was another portion which was advanced by the Jedburgh Company's directors at their own personal responsibility, and of which they would be relieved by raising this sum. There were (Stations) dunder Act.the p also£3 B o r ,O it O ie Ci h t n o a b i e lw r a a y ise T ow he e y r had n th ot s of e North yet come to any agreement with the corporation of Edinburgh regarding the selection of a site for the new vegetable market, which it was necessary to fix upon before taking possession of the market. That question was now before arbitrators, and he trusted that it was in course of bbing satisfactorily settled. They had not found it easily to deal with the corpo ration of Edinburgh in this matter. He must say that that body had not displayed that activity in add ing to the station accommodation which the company were anxious to give the inhabitants that under the circumstances might have been expected. In place of affording any great facilities, or showing any appearance of anxiety to further the negotia tions in regard to that station, they had, in point of fact, thrown unnecessary obstructions in the way of selecting a site for the new market. He hoped, now that the matter had gone before the arbiters, that such a decision would be given as would allow the company to enlarge the station according to their plans. Under the Border Counties Amalga mation Act, there was £108,940 to be raised, and this money was wanted immediately. Th e shareholders were aware that the North British Company had already advanced a consi derable sum in aid of the works of that line, and they expected that before the close of this year the whole of that forty miles of railway would be open for traffic; To do this, how ever, required a large sum of money. There were £95,000 to be raised under the Galashiels and Peebles' Railway Act, and there were also £50,000 to be raised on an act which passed in the yearilBs9, which was called the Wansbeck Railway Company, which connected the whole of the Eastern and cen tral line of the North British. This subject had b een well considered by the shareholders at former meetings, and theY:were only carrying out what on former occasions was the inten tion of the company—their intention wa s ,to rai se £50,000 i n or d er to 8 0'4 - bribe a certhin amount to the Wansbeck Railway funds, and the directors also sought power through the shareholders to grant 4 per cent: over capital ad vanced to the Wansbeck Railway. That railway opened up a great part of their line, and there were twelve and a half miles of it now in course of con structionl seven of which were to be open in Octo ber. It was, therefore, necessary that the share holders of . the North British Railway should be prepared to take possession of a line which he helieyed would have a very important bearing upon the interests of the cona.panT. The chairman con chided by moving a series of resolutions in accord ance with the vibws expressed in his speech, which were unanimously agreed-to. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock.
