i 4.lOATir 111 - A - ItKET AND CITY N_ETVS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. During the past week there has been little change of importance in the general progress of business in the manufacturing districts. At Manchester, how ever, an increased demand has been experienced for cloths suitable to the Indian markets at en hanced rates. The woollen trade at Leeds has con tinued steady, while at Bradford, Halifax, and Hud dersfield the operations in piece goods and yarns have been confined to immediate requirements. The hosiery trade at Leicester and Nottingham has con tinued active, and in the hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, a seasonable amount of business has been done, chiefly however for home requirements. A large amount of business was again transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday. The sales were 20,000 bales, and prices were very firm. At a meeting of the Bank of Victoria proprie tors, in Melbourne, on the 6th of August last, a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. was declared. At the Bank of England on Saturday there were .no bullion transactions of public importance. The report of the Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company recommends the usual dividends of £2 per share. The steamer Europa, which left for Halifax and Boston, conveyed £42,659 in specie. With the exception of an occasional increase for accommodation eausing a little more firmness in the rates, the general appearance of the dimwit market exhibits very little alteration. There is still, as for a long time, a vast accumulation of money at the command of the bankers and bill brokers ; and, as an active competition exists among them for commercial securities, the mercantile public are still enabled to obtain all the discount assistance they require on moderate terms. The only thing that appears to detract from the prospects of the market is the position of monetary affairs in Franee, which still gives rise to an im pression that it may yet lead to a large efflux of gold from this country, and necessitate restrictive measures on the part of the Bank of England. The prospectus has been issued of the company to be formed for the restoration of the Submarine Indian Telegraph, laid three years ago, at a cost of £BOO,OOO, under a Government guarantee of 41 per cent. Although the entire line worked but for a few days after completion, each section had been in successful operation for several months, and a con viction is now expressed that the faults which occurred are all capable of repair, and that many of them are very slight. The line between Aden and Kurrachee is especially considered to be capable of rapid renovation. In one of the sections of nearly 500 miles there has never been any fault, and those which exist in the other sec tions are believed to be in shallow water. The cost of re-establishing this portion (which would abridge the time for a message from all parts of India to five days) is estimated not to exceed £50,000, and the company intend to direct their first efforts to that end. There will then re main only the division between Sues and Aden 'Which it is assumed can undoubtedly be made good in whole or in part, while throughout much of this region there is also the alternative of forming land lines, as was suggested some time back by Captain Bedford Pim. The capital of the new company will be £lOO,OOO, in shares of £2 each, and the in- , tention is as soon as a sufficient amount has been subscribed to despatch a steamer with 200 miles of new cable, with a view to complete the communi cation up to Aden early in 1862. The terms made by the company with the Government are that the Government shall hand over all the property of the old company free of charge as soon as two-thirds of the proposed capital shall have been subscribed and one-third paid up, and a vessel shall have been de spatched with 200 miles of new cable; that the new company shall be entitled to all profits not ex ceeding an annual dividend of 25 per cent.; that any surplus beyond 25 per cent. shall accrue to the Government in reimbursement of amounts paid for interest under their guarantee on the £BOO,OOO capital of the old company, and that any further sum shall be applied to the creation of a reserve fund ; that the Government shall have the right to purchase the line on repaying the capital expended at the expiration of 30 years; and, finally, that in the event of failure on the part of the present company the Government may take the line into their hands again on repaying the new amount actually expended. A strong feeling prevails in favour of the effort, and every one will feel un qualified satisfaction if those who enter into it obtain a large return. At the commencement of business in the English Stock Market this morning greater buoyancy pre yelled, owing to the continued firmness of the Rentes, and the easy position of the Money Mar - ket ; subsequently, however, a few sales were effec ted which led to a slight reaction, and Consols which had been 921 3 are now 92 1 for money and the 7th inst, The New Threes and the Re duced are firmer at 90 ; Exchequer Bills, March, are steady at 4s. prem. ; ditto, June, at 7s. prem.; India 5 per Cent.

Spring corn, as well as flour, was disposed of at very full prices. The southern markets in France have become heavy for wheat, owing to large arrivals; but those in the northern departments exhibit more firmness. In the United States both wheat and flour are very firm in price. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were limited. From abroad we received 17,132 quarters of wheat, 1,919 barley, 19,862 oats, 2,605 beans, 6 peas, 27 tares, 3,164 linseed, 2,830 raepseed, ;498 sundry, 4 sacks and 2,761 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of Eng• lish wheat from all quarters were very moderate. The general condition of the samples, however, was fine. Although sales, generally speaking, progressed somewhat slowly, a clearance was effected, and, compared with Mon day last, a further advance of from is. to 2s. per quarter took place in the quotations. The market for foreign wheat was firm, and the quota tions were quite ls. above those current this day se'nnight. The show of samples was by no means extensive. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, and prices had an upward tendoncy. There was more firmness in the barley trade, and the currencies improved is per quarter.

Sales progressed steadily, at full prices. The arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning from our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland, were consider ably on the increase, when compared with Monday last. The primest Scots, short horns, Downs, and Herefords were in steady request, at full prices ; but inferior stock moved off slowly, at a decline in value of 2d per 81bs. The general quality of the beasts was only middling. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received about 3,000 short barns and mixed breeds; from other parts of England, 50C various breeds; from Scotland, 12 Scots and crosses; ani from Ireland, 1,300 oxen and heifers. _ With sheep we were fully supplied as to number, but for the most part their quality was inferior. All breeds met a slow inquiry, and Thursday's advance in the quotations was not supported. The primest old Downs sold at 58 6d per 81bs. Calves, the supply of which was limited, moved off steadily, at full currencies—viz., from 4s to 5s per Sibs. We have to report a firm inquiry for pigs.

In consequence of what Mr. Linney told him he went to Baldry, and he admitted having the pieces o: cotton and sewing silk. A ea: table said Isaacson told him that he had taken the things and given them to young Baldry at 4, Regent-street, and that he received ss. on two or three different occasions. Mr. Anderson said he thought Baldry the worst of the two, as he was two years older than the other. At present he could not tell the extent of his less. The prisoners were remanded. THAMES. AN EXPENSIVE PAUPER FAMlLY.—William M'lntosh, a well dressed fellow about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe on a warrant charged with deserting his wife and four children, and leaving them chargeable to the hamlet of Mile End Old Town. The prisoner was formerly a Custom-house waterman, with a salary of £BO per annum, and was dismissed for misconduct. He has been for several years cook and steward of vessels, and in the receipt of good wages. He abandoned his family in August, 1855, and they have since been maintained at the expense of the ratepayers of Mile end Old Town. A reward was offered for the appre hension of the prisoner in 1855, but no tidings of him were obtained until last night, when he was arrested in a beershop in Ratcliff-highay, by Daniel Smith, No. 415 K, one of the summoning officers of this court. Ho was greatly astonished when the officer told him the business he was on, and said he thought that matter had been forgotten long ago. He joined a ship at Belfast as steward, and he came to London with the vessel. The prisoner made a long and rambling statement, attri buting the loss of his situation in the Customs and subse quent hardships he had undergone to the dissipated habits of his wife, which she indignantly denied, and said he had been a bad husband to her. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner was a very bad father to his children or he would have looked after them and contributed to their maintenance. He supposed the parish had been put to an expense of £5O at least for the maintenance of the family. Mr. Robert Gifford, one of the relieving officers of Mile end Old Town, said he family had cost the hamlet upwards of £3OO. The eldest, a girl, had been put out to service, two of the boys had been apprenticed, with premiums, and the mother wad one boy were still inmates of the house. It was not the object of the guardians to obtain any remune ration from the prisoner, but his instructions were to press for a severe penalty, as an example to other heartless hus bands and fathers who abandoned their wives and children. Mr. Gifford then exhibited, for the information of his worship, a printed broadside, containing the names, occu pations, and descriptions of 30 other deserters for whose apprehensions the Guardians had offered rewards. The whole of them would be proceeded against. The expense of supporting these 30 families was a heavy burthen on the ratepayers. Mr. Selfe said this was a very proper prosecution on the part of the Guardians, and he was glad to hear it was to be followed by similar proceedings against others. The pri soner was a most unfeeling and impudent fellow, and it was not to be tolerated that families were to be supported at the expense of ratepayers when those who wero morally and legally bound to support them had failed to do so. He con victed the prisoner as a rogue and vagabond, and sentenced him to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. If the prisoner did not support his wife and family when he came out of gaol ho would be committed again. 2111 S DAY'S SHIPPING.

(Before the Recorder.) The October sessions of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said the cases in the calendar were by no means numerous, yet some of them were of a very serious description, and would require the most careful consideration. The first one he would mention was that of a charge of wilful murder against a person named Baldry. He was the captain of an American vessel, and it would be necessary that he (the Recorder) should mention to them how the law bore upon the point. A person in authority was to a certain extent allowed to tnflict moderate punishment, and in the event of death taking place after it amounted to what was termed in law misadventure ; but if the punishment inflicted was immo derate, and death ensued, the act was either manslaughter or murder. In order to find a person guilty of murder it was necessary to show that the instrument by which the injuries were inflicted was one likely to cause death, because if such was the case, then it became evident that the person ad ministering such punishment had some malicious feeling towards the deceased, and the law said such person was guilty of murder. If, on the contrary, the instrument used was not of the description ho had mentioned, the offence amounted only to manslaughter. The facts appeared from the depositions to be that the deceased was a sailor on board the ship of which the prisoner was captain, and that on the former refusing to do certain work he had been commanded to do, the captain proceeded to inflict punishment on him with a rope ; and, according to one of the witnesses, he never did any more work after he had been punished, while two or three others said he had performed his duty for three or four days. When the ship arrived in London no immediate communication of the occurrence was made to the authorities, and the case was only made known after a quarrel between the captain and his crew, relative to the payment of their wages. In arriving at a decision they would also have to consider the state of health of the de ceased, because if he was in a weakly condition it would be highly dangerous to inflict any punishment until he was able to bear it. The other case was the indictment pre ferred against two persons named Garret and Vale, and death had, it appeared, been occasioned by attempting to procure abortion. The facts were exceedingly painful. If the indictment rested upon the evidence in the depositions it appeared to be very slight ; but in addition to this there was the statement of the deceased person, upon which it ap peared to him the case against the prisoners mainly rested. It was well known to most of the jury that a statement made against a prisoner, without it was taken cn oath, could not be used against him ; but to this the law made one exception, and that was, where the person making it was believed to be in a dying state; then the law supposed that a statement made under such circum , stances was invested with all the solemnity of an oath, and was admissible as evidence. It, however, appeared that the evidence to prove the charge was very weak, but per haps more would be elicited by minute examination. The charge of manslaughter was that preferred against a person named Rayner, who was one of the servants of a railway company. There could be no doubt the deaths of the un fortunate persons were caused by an accident on a railway, and the duty of the jury would be to see if that accident was caused by the negligence of the person indicted. There was a charge of arson against two persons, named George and Frederick Cliff, who it was alleged had committed the act in order to defraud an insurance office. Against one of the prisoners there did not appear very strong evidence, but against the other the case was different, as he had, accord ing to the evidence, made several misrepresentations. The fire, according to ono witness, was raging in two distinct plaoos at one time, and one of the prisoners was seen to leave the place in a very hurried manner just previous to the conflagration breaking out. When he was afterwards asked to account for the fire, he said he could not tell how it occurred, as he was at Walworth at the time. If it was clearly proved that the prisoner had been seen under the circumstances he had mentioned, and he had denied it, it did appear that he had made a false statement as to the circumstance, and therefore the fact would re quire their most serious consideration. There were two other serious offences against two persons named Smith and Robinson, for rape. He did not think he need further allude to the case, only to say that it was highly important to know when the offence was first complained of. In both these cases it appeared the injured parties had complained immediately after the offence was alleged to have been committed. Cases of the nature he had alluded to deserved the most serious consideration, because they were very easily made, but not so easily disproved. He did not think there was any other case in the calendar to which he need call their attention. The grand jury then retired. EMBEZZLEMENT. Daniel M'Kenzie was indicted for embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employer. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was en gaged as collector to a coal merchant, and it was his duty to pay over the moneys he received during the day to the clerk before ho left in the evening. Various sums wore clearly proved to have been paid to the prisoner, and never by him paid over to his employer. The defalcations amouirted to about £4O. The jury found the prisoner guilty. From the inquiries of the Recorder, the clerk stated the first sum of money paid to the prisoner and not handed over was in March last, about a month after he had entered prosecutor's service. The learned judge sentenced the prisoner to three years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) MAR LBOROUGH-STREET. BRUTAL COSTER3IONUEIt,—THE USE OF TIM STAFF. —William Lake, a costermonger, was charged before Mr. Beadon as follows : Sergeant Davis, E division, said that on Saturday night the prisoner was standing at the corner of Great Titchfield street and assaulting every person that passed, using very gross language. A constable, 41 E, coming up he (Sergeant Davis) having been told by the inspector to remove him, the prisoner struck 41 E, two or three times, saying " Take that you -," and while they were taking him through Percy-street, the prisoner cried out " Scroggins," evidently with the view to a rescue. Mr. Herring said the prisoner would plead guilty, being drunk at the time. Mr. Beadon observing that the prisoner's head was ban daged, asked whether he had hurt himself. Sergeant Davis said, the prisoner said the constable had struck him with his staff, but he did , not see the constable do so. As there was blood on the prisoner's head the sur geon was sent for. Lane, 41 E, said he was called by the inspector to take the prisoner into custody, when the prisoner struck him three times in the eye, blackening it. He got the prisoner as far as Percy-street, and he then tried to get away and was going to.ptrike him when he took out his staff with the intention of striking him on the shoulder, but he happen ing to " bob" up, got the blow on his head. The prisoner had only been out a few months for stabbing a woman in Fitzroy-market, and ho had assaulted him (Lane) once before. Mr. Beadon said that but that he was well known for violent assaults not only on the police but other persons, he should have thought there had been a too free use of the truncheon. It was a most unfortunate thing that a con stable who had been assaulted before should have been in the case. The prisoner had received an uncommonly severe blow on the head, but that he was not be punished was out of the question. Taking that into consideration, he should only commit him for 14 days, otherwise he should have sent him for trial. SYSTEMATIC ROBBERY OF AN EMPLOYER.—TWO lads, named Samuel'Baldry and W. Isaacson, the former in the employ of Mr. Linney, tailor, of R,gent-street, and the latter in that of Mr. Thos. Anderson, military tailor, of St. James's-street, were charged—the latter with stealing a quantity of cotton stuff and silk, the property of Mr. Ande rson, and Baldry with receiving the same, well knowing it to be stolen. Mr. Anderson said that for some time past he had missed property, t 43,4 frto iAferulAtiou, that rettoltecl him 110 taxed Miles Opened. Receipts.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.--SATURDAY. The day was almost entirely devOted to settling. There appeared to be an unlimited commission for Henham Lass for the Cambridgeshire, but not less than 5 to 1 was taken. 100 to 8 bar one was offered. There were offers to take 100 to 7. It would be difficult to say if The Roe or Asteriod would have been the selected ono. The quotations indicate that everything is in the offered division, but it will not bo a very good guide to the prices that may be obtainable on Monday. There were very few backers present. For the Derby, at the close, 12 to 1 was offered on the field, although during the day the Marquis had been supported at 100 to 0.

The Malta Observer, under the head of " Tele- graphic Communication with India," says :—" Our readers are always aware that the submarine cable manufactured by Messrs.

By the end of this month the line will be open to the public, when communication with Melia will be ex pedited 30 days. The cable continues to work most satis factorily." CHOLERA IN INDIA.—The Indian Government has appointed a special commission to inquire into and re port on the recent severe outbreak of cholera among the European troops at several stations in the north-west pro vinces, and at Meean Meer. The members are- Mr. Strachey, of the civil service ; Dr. Linton, C. 8., and Dr. M'Clelland, Inspectors-General of Hospitals ; Lieut.- Col. Gawler, 73d Regiment; and Major P. Stewart, Ben gal Engineers.—Army and Nervy Gazette. CATCHING A WOLF.—A few days since the keeper on the Forest Hall estate, High Ongar, found a young wolf in a rabbit-trap to catch vermin. The animal had been seen several times by some boys who were keeping sheep, and it had followed them about the fields. It was about six months old, and weighed Mb., but nobody ap pears to know how it came on the estate.—Essex Telegraph. _ _ _ Subscriptions have been invited by the Falmouth Dock Company for £144,700 further capital in £lis shares. These docks are being constructed under an act obtained in 1859, and the capital already - expended is £50,000. The works thus far completed yielded a satisfactory revenue, and aro considered to demonstrate that the entire undertak ing will be executed for less than the original estimate. The tonnage of vessels calling at Falmouth has increased from 319,242 tons in 1850 to 705,083 in 1860. The report of the Royal Mail Steam Company to be presented on Wednesday next recommends the usual dividend of £2 per share. The receipts for the half-year have been £30,032 in excess of the corresponding half of 1860, while the expenditure shows a diminution of £4,662. These results, in the face of a considerable falling off in the Brazil line, owing to the competition of the French steamers from Bordeaux, are to be attributed to the Avon having been temporarily hired by the Government as a transport, and the Parana by the Galway Company for a voyage to the United States, coupled with a continued development of the traffic to the Pacific via Panama. The repair and renewal account, last year in debt to the extent of £14,913, now presents a favourable balance of £1,882, and the sum standing to the credit of the insurance account is £181,454, being anlincrease of £24,922. EDINBURGH NEW POST-OFFICE AND INDUSTRIAL MUSEUM.—Four of the Queen's state carriages and 14 horses have been removed from London to Edinburgh to form the Royal cortege on the occasion of the Prince Con sort laying the foundation stones of these new buildings on Wednesday. It is thought probable that her Majesty will be a spectator of the ceremony at the Post-office. The Royal party are expected to arrive in Edinburgh from Bal moral on Tuesday evening, at half-past 6, and to leave for London by night train on Wednesday, at half-past 8 ; and a torchlight display is spoken of on the occasion of the de parture. For the afternoon ceremonies the Volunteers of the city and county are to be called out, as well as the regi ments in garrison ; and the high-constables are to form a guard of honour for the city magistrates. Among those who are to take part in the proceedings of the day will be the Lord Provost, the Hon. W. Cowper, First Commis missioner of Works ; Sir David Brewster, Principal of Edinburgh University, &c. The magistrates are to recom mend a half-holiday. CHARGE OF MURDER. —A few days ago Mr. Whitmarsh, one of the coroners for Wilts, held an inquest on the body of Frances Pearce, the wife of a laboure rat Chippenham. It appeared that the deceased went to Chip penham oa Saturday last to meet her husband. They there went to a public-house, and remained drinking for some hours, and when they left, between 8 and 9 o'clock at night, were both drunk, but the deceased was the worse of the two. On their way to Langley Burrell, a witness named Bristow met them in a lane called Greenaway. Ho saw both deceased and her husband fall down, assisted to help deceased up, and afterwards, on hearing her husband telling her that he would cut her head off, he asked the husband what he meant, to which he replied that he wou and fight any man in England. N ext morning, between 4 'afield thhus t b s an co d w , s in ut 5 o'clock, nocko,t f a arcowkeeper,fromth on as he appeared in drink,e o that e he had lost his thinking, w ay, sa id nothing to him. He soon afterward s saw a wom an's bonnet, and further on, not far f rom the e l g a o n i e n , g m t t attend his hedge, the body of the deceased. She was very much bruised, had several marks on her face and body, and blood on her clothes, and on the back of her head there was a contused lacerated wound. Christopher Cole, who lodged with deceased and her husband, gave evidence to the effect that the husband came home early in the morning, and said, " Get up; my old woman is down in the Ninepin Field, but whether she has had a fit or not I can't tell. She is tearing her bonnet, and knocking herself all to pieces." He accordingly went to the field, and finding de. ceased could not walk, wheeled her home in a barrow, where she lived about ten minutes, but did not speak. Two surgeons gave it as their opinion that the cause of death was effusion of blood to the brain, probably the result of the wound on the back of the head. The jury returned a verdict " that the deceased came to her death by extreme violence, but by whom that violence was administered there was no evidence to show." Superintendent Wright imme diately took the prisoner into custody on the charge of murdering his wife. General Cialdini has addressed a letter to General Tupputi, the Commandant of the National Gnard of Naples, in which he praises that body most highe y, declaring that he considers it as the best fo rc the kind he has ever seen. .1.• ^ • = h The A letter from Fiume , of the M ar tini, yester - pro head of the municipality, day convoked the sixteen commissary had named sen t a tives, whom the r o nyag tra ti ve business of t he e al ment of the adms for the provisional a town.
