XOYET MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. From the re.inufacturing districts the accounts during the past week have been of a more satisfac tory character. The dealings in cloths at Manchcs ter have been to a fair extent, chiefly, however, for home use. The woollen trade at Leeds, Halifax, s Huddersfield, and Bradford has shown symptoms of improvement, and a tolerable amount of business has been done in worsted hosiery at Leicester. In the hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Shef field, and Wolverhampton, trade generally has remained very quiet in all departments. Continued activity prevailed in the the Liverpool Cotton market on Saturday, and prices were very ~ st i m firm. The sales were fully 15,000 bales. goo A further supply of gold, viz., £119,000, was sent s t e ,, l „ into the Bank of England on Saturday. stoc 25 l At the forthcoming meeting of the English, Btoc i Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank proprie- 8 1 tors, a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. for the stoctooi s l half-year will be proposed. to The half-yearly meeting of the Bank of Austra- stool lasia will take place on the 19th proximo. st t o o c ci There is very little inquiry for 'disco unt accom- semi iodation, either in commercial circles or at the 12 steel Stock Exchange, and accommodatio n is obtainable stocl on lower terms than for som e time past. stock Trade being exceedingly dull, the demand :to m er, for money on mercantile account is pro- stoo Partionately restricted, and although symptoms g of improvement are perceptible in certain depart- stt runts of business, some time is expected to elapse 14 before any great expansion can be experienced. stool In the meantime, the money market is likely to : i0 4 c . ( 1 assume an easier appearance, if the specie move- 5o went should improve and the weather continue to ,5 favourable for the growing crops. 100 The Agincourt has arrived from Melbourne with lc 2L tbo'- • 8.0,000 in gold. atm, about .£l. _ g_-- A recovery, amounting to per cent. has taken i stool place in the Market for Public Securities to-day, Bstger Owing to several purchases, mostly on speculative . to , account.

If the French people or French statesmen c an p ersuade themselves at to such an inference, there is no occasion for any st( outside observers to disturb the simplicity of the fit , illusion. But, unfortunately, there are persons, 23 ' even in England, and especially in high places, so little versed in practi cal iiit finance as likely also st ; to be led away simply analogous t y o that Tffhoer throwing processb acertain however,e st. of money to be scrambled ° ma y k a mob. The Go vernment having resolved to; make price at which it would sureeft tluoaene,mcmalcaunldatae premium, and offer it, or a certain portion of it, at st this price, pro ra ta, to all who will apply sendand in a prelimin ar y de p osit. As the stock is market- at. at 2or 3 p er cent. premium for several days st 4 before the date f or closing the subscription lists, the at 4 number of applicants is, of course, simply limited to 8 .11 the number who can rake up or borrow enough money to pay the deposit on the amount they ask .for, and the result is that tis vast multassiitude, after an. their pains, get a ridicuhlous fraction gned to them, the profit of which, in the great majorit of cases, would form but a poor payment for their loss' of time. The affair in its effect is exactly as if the Govornment were to announce that they would issue a million of francs to be divided at the rate of 102 f. among all who would make tenders. It has cap tivated some persons as if it were a wonderful dis covery, but it involves loss to the Government and demoralisation to the people. Loans under such circumstances are always issued at lar a price below ntractors, th a t which wou ld beg iven by regu co the proper business of the nation at the same time suffers from t he excitement, banking disturbance, and waste of time consequent upmnllionso the public ma king deposits upon a h u ndred i there are only three or four m illions of securities to be disposed of , an d individuals, f ro m the lowest to the highest, are all encouraged into the arena of stockjobbing, and taught that it is in this sphere, rather than by steady attention to their legitimate avocations, that they can best distinguish them selves as good citizens. It may be questioned if among the engines which can tend to corrupt a country any could be found more potent than this system of offering bribes to the populace from the Bourse. A Vienna letter of the 16th says:—" Severa. drafts of answers to the Address have anxiously been sub mitted to the Emperor, and all Vienna awaits the resolution to be taken. All that is posi tively known is that two Hungarian Chancellors have determined on resigning at once if their drafts, in which they recapitulate all the stipulated ancient and historical rights of the Magyar nation, should not be accepted by the chief of the State. It is also certain, on the other hand, that all the members of the Imperial G o vernment, with the Arch duke Reg nier at their head, i have unanimously resolved to retiro from office, if the bases of 20th October, and the . fundamental law of 26 th of February, are not decidedly applied to the national representation of Hungary." FIRE IN CLERIENWELE.—Yesterday evening a fire, attended with a serious destruction of property, broke out in the premises of Mr. John Dawson Ashworth, iron and brass founder, and Messrs. Whitmee and Co., steel mill makers, 11, Ray-street, Clerkenwell, near the Sessions. house. The fire originated, from some unexplained cause, in the first floor, used as the factory, and, when discovered, had obtained such a firm hold as to endanger the neighbour. in g premises. Engines were soon on the spot, and there was a good supply of water, but the flames not e xtinguished until M r . Ashworth's and Messrs. Whi tmee ' s premises The loss will fall up on the Sun were partially consume. 1J0A914 FrO-OitiCES- "st lay r own loth de usually i c h, the !o little penalty vourito, his bolt b.e rider b e two anford's 02.

The approaches to the court to-day presented the same crowded appearance as they have done on both occasions, when the Baron de vidil has been placed at the bar. At three o'clock the accused was again placed at the bar in charge of Inspector Whicher and Sergeant William• son of the detective force. We shall continue the report in our late edition. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day THAMES. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST A GENTLEMAN Mr. Henry Dundas Drummond, of 12, Devonshire-street, Portland-place, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and furiously driving his horse and phaeton the previous (Sunday) evening in Regent-street, and also injuring an omnibus horse. Mickleborough, 307 A, said that on the previous even ing, about nine o'clock he saw the defendant gal loping his horse in a phaeton up Regent-street, and when past Beak-street he saw the wheel of defen dant's phaeton strike an omnibus horse on the shoulder. The defendant refused on his coming up with him to give him his address, saying he had done nothing wrong. The defendant was certainly drunk. He then took the defend ant into custody. By Mr. Davis, solicitor, of Bond-streot—The omnibus horses were going at the usual pace. He judged Mr. Drummond was drunk, by his appearance, and not being able to speak plainly. Thos. Salisbury, 116 C, confirmed a portion of the pre vious witness's statement, and said he would swear Mr. Drummond was drunk. By Mr. Davis—The horse did not appear to have tut yelled far. In answer to further questions, the witness said the de• fendant was like every drunken man. John Dornon, 61, Grove-street, Camden-town, proved being the driver of omnibus 6036, and being run against by the defendant. His horse's knee was injured, and it was unable to work that day. By Mr. Davis—The defendant was the worse for drink. James Hodson, in the employ of Mr. Seymour, of Jermyn-street, said he was in Regent-street, and the omni bus driver pulled on to the defendant. Several other witnesses having been called for the de fence, Mr. Tyrwhitt said he thought the constables had mado an error, and that they had taken Mr. Drummond's excite ment to have arisen from the wrong cause. He did not believe Mr. Drummond was drunk, and should discharge him. CONFESSION OP A MURDER.—William Jenkinson, a remarkable looking man in appearance, above 40 years of age, was brought up in custody beforo Mr. Woolrych, in custody of Deeble, a detective police constable, No. 195 H, charged on his own confession with the wilful murder of Sarah or Elizabeth Jones, at Brentwood, in Essex. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner accosted a police constable named East, No. 29 H, on Saturday night last, and said I am a murderer, I wish to give my self up to the laws of my country. East immediately took the prisoner to the station-house, and he there re peated to police Sergeant Egerton, 11 H, that he was a murderer, and, after repeated cautions, he made the following statement, which Egerton took down in writing— " H, or Whitechapel division, Police-station, Leman street, 34 p.m., July 20, 1861.—William Jenkinson says — I am 36 years of ago, and carpenter of the ship Jane John sen, which arrived in the West India Dock from New York, on the 17th instant. Abort two years and three months ago I was keeping company with a female named Sarah or Elizabeth Jones, aged 23, living at a farm-house at Foot's Cray in Kent. She left that service and slept with me three nights in a public house in Limehouse. We then went to Brentwood Essex, together, and through jealousy I shot her in the head with a Colt's revolver pistol, and afterwards buried her body in a field beside a hedge, about three quar ters of a mile from Brentwood. I also buried the pistol with her. Since then I have been in the East Indies. I can point out the place where I buried her, but I cannot describe it to you. The reason I give myself up is lam very much troubled in my mind." After this statement was written, Sergeant Egerton gave the prisoner half an hour to reflect upon it, and then asked him to sign it. The prisoner did so, and said it was quite true. Deeble made inquiries at Foots Cray yesterday and ascertained that no female named Jones, or any other female, was missing from that place two years and three months ago. This morning the prisoner told Sergeant Egerton that all he had stated on Saturd a y night was un true. Mr. Woolrych remanded the prisoner. Lare Railyiays.

There was a full average supply of each kind of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market, and the demand ruled in active at barely stationary prices, to slightly reduced rates. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning were seasonably good as to number, but somewhat deficient in quality. Prime Scots, crosses, and short-horns were in fair request at about stationery prices; but inferior breeds moved off heavily at, in some instances, 2d per 81bs less money. The best lots sold at 5s per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 1,550 short-horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 1,200 various breeds ; from Scotland, 200 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 150 oxen and heifers. There was a fair average show of sheep in the market. Downs and half-breds commanded a steady sale at extreme currencies. Other breeds moved off slowly, but at full prices. The best Downs changed hands at 5s 4d per Sibs. Good and prime lambs moved off freely at full curren cies. Inferior breeds ruled dull at about previous rates. Calves—the supply of which was good—were a dull in quiry at last week's prices.

I observed , the contusion of the scapula, that is the shoulder-blade bone. That might have been caused by a fall or by a severe blow. By Mr. Humphreys—Roberts was sensible up till nine o'clock on Tuesday morning. He sometimes talked and made ebeet remarks. He never made any statement as to the cause of the injuries. I think a pair of tongs would produce the wounds on the scalp. The wound between the thumb and the index finger might have been produced by a broken bottle. Mr. Humphreys—Did you see Major Murray ? That gentleman's name has not been mentioned, but I have no doubt it will. Witness—Major Murray is an inmate of the hospital. He is very anxious to give his account of the transaction to the jury, but I don't think he is yet well enough to leave his room. The Coroner—There is a great deal of evidence to be taken before we come to Major Murray, so I think we had better proceed. By a Juror—Mr. Roberts said nothing in my presence about his injuries, but I believe he has made a communica tion to some other person. Mr. Humphries—Was there any mark of a pistol shot on the deceased ? Witness—None. Mr. Thomas Clay—l am foreman of the Catalonian Cork Company (next door to the house where the affray took place). Last Friday week I had occasion to go into the house No. 16, Northumberland-street, on the day of the occurrence, about a quarter to 12 in the morning. After being there a few minutes I heard the report of firearms, and about five minutes after that I heard an other report. Having heard reports on former occasions I paid no attention to them. I was in the back yard when I heard the reports, and I am certain they proceeded from Mr. Roberts's chambers. His apartments were on the first floor. I looked up at the window, but it was closed. The only remark I made about the shots was to one of our workmen. About five minutes after the last report the window of Mr. Roberts's chamber was thrown up, an a d m a o gentleman, whom I now know as Major Murray, s u a rr i ay, , 'd ' Good to the window and put out one of his legs.

He got away, and on looking over the wall I saw him go through the passage into the street. I went there and I saw the gentleman at the door. He seemed to want to go away, but I told him he must remain. I had not seen his wounds at that time. When I got him to the door of ' No. 16 I saw he was wounded in the neck. I saw a police man and gave the gentleman into his care. I told him to get some surgical advice. I did not see what was done after. I then went up to Mr. Roberts's room with some more people 1 to force the door, and I saw the same policeman I had given the gentleman to, and he said we had better wait till some more police came. On the arrival of two more constables ' ladder was procured. I suppose some one g ob ui', as the door was opened from within. Ou entering the room we found the folding doors closed. They were opened by the con stables, and Mr. Roberts was found in the left hand corner of the room crouched down in a corner and covered with blood. Two constables lifted him up and brought him into the back room and set him in a chair, and he was afterwards removed in a cab to Charing-cross Hospital. I only know the gentleman as Major Murray from what I have heard. The state of the room was d of isordered. A chair was broken, and there we re a couple large pistols on the ground near the window.

Major Murray said, " Had I had two pis tols I would have shoe bias also." Some one said, " The man that'• seise it may escape." He then replied, "I've served him out for this too much to permit him to escape." By Mr. Humphreys — The words the gentleman said at the Window were, "1140rea m w d er po t % OP ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE. On Saturday a fancy fair und general fete in aid of the funds of this institution was held at the Crystal Palace. As he.retofore, it proved one of the most attractive g.atherings that has taken place at Norwood, and we can conscientiously cuuunuena rue public in search of a few hours ' amusement to avail themselves of its continuance throughout to-day. All the most popular actresses are stallholders in. the bazaar, and ply their trade as fancy shopkeepers with a winning importunity which admits of no denial on the part of purchasers. Mrs. Stirling, Miss Amy Sedgwick, Miss Kelly, Mrs. Mellon, Miss Josephs, Miss Bufton, Mrs. Mat thews, and a score of others are enshrined in pretty stalls of pink and white drapery, and preside over the rapid disposal of their wares as if " to the man- ner bOre." For once high prices seemed no check on large consumption, and, if we may judge by the progress ilade on Saturday the College is likely to be a considerable gainer by the exertions of these ladies in its behalf. The fancy fair, however, though a most important item, is after all but an item in the many attractions this fete offers. Mr. Toole has a peep-show for the lovers of thrilling melodrama ; there are Aunt Sally's, a Punch and Judy, and above all, a Tent of Mystery, of which we shall say nothing further here than that the public must visit it for themselves to appreciate its absorbing attractions. Miss Johnstone has also a Hermit's Cave, whence she dispenses her hoard of for. tunes on really liberal terms. One of the most alnusing of the entertain ments,: however, is a theatre fitted up in the concert room, in exact imitation of the tru e old nic ard_ sonian show, which has almost disappeared bbefore the th e usualm a r arch h p l o a f t f i e m r p m r o ri v u 'e t s m i d e e n i t t fe on late a w t e h y i e e h a r t s. he traditional c o wn and pantaloon, the beauti ful ladies an d mag 'ficentgentlenraa, the man with the gong and pipes, and the rest of the fair-going accessories were all in. their fullest *nd most exhilarating vigour. Never have such crowded houses been seen as thronged to the constantly repeated performances of this little theatre. The play stated to be "of the good old Bartlemy fair times and of days long departed" was entitled " The Midnight Spectre, or the Fatal Secret." In order to enable this thrilling morceau to be repeated as often as fresh audiences repeatedly desired a double set of actors were necessary, and the managers therefore announced in their bill that they had secured the services of a double company of,— " The best actors in the werld, either for tragedy, c ome: , dy, history, pastoral, pastoral-co:nic historical-pastora l, tragical-historical, tragical - comical- historical - p wr scene individable, of poem unlirralted."—" Hamlet, scene 2. what was That there might be no mistake about to be looked forward to the plot of the P . _ amply foreshadowed in the bill as follows • SCENA—PADUA• The Plot—The Meeting—the MystarY —the Gurgle—the G.sP— TABLEAU OF E— - Count Ristolaco . , (A Venetian n Gamma) r. iece was " a a s ct ii., the Villain Foiled the Ghosi, Y CITEMENT. °blew.= in love with NI Toole and Mr. Wid dicombe. __, in th a pay of the Count), Beppo Derkista ..
