MONEY MARKET A ND COMMERCIAL lITTELLIGENCB. CITY, Two o'CLoch... The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday elosed . heavily, without alteration in prices. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, com?rising 4,750 American (1,500 of which were ta'icen for 0 export, and 503 on speculation) ; 100 Pernam and Maranham, at Old. to 61d. ; 200 Bahia, at 6id. to 6 7-16 d. ; 200 Egyptian, at 7d. to 81d. ; 700 Surat, at 4d. to sid.; and 50 Sea Island, at 22 11d. to ls. per lb. The imports since Thursday ns have amounted to 10,000 bales. The Rail.way st. Share Market closed firmly, and prices were a st• 0 shade better than on Friday. 5 50 The Paris weekly trade report, in reviewing the 20 business of last week, states that the period has 20 arrived when a return to activity amongst the 10 principal manufacturers may be looked for. But r),9. up to the present time there are no 'indications of a change. Many circumstances hfLve united to )0 delay the commencement of the busy season, St' amongst which have been the increase of 15 to 20 36 per cent, upon workmen's wages, and the high i 2. t 6 prices of raw materials, in con sequence o f which t. the manufacturers have been obliged to increase 10 their prices, but the demand has suddenly de- S lo t ' creased. However the sal es for export have been 30 satisfactory, and foreign purchasers have freely V o t. submitted to the high price. With the Brazils 10 and other South American States the trade of It. France is increasing. With Russia the purchases s t * for the approaching coronation continue to be im portant. The manufacturers of Lyons and St. Stephen's having raised their prices business is very limited, and they are chiefly employed in executing those commissions which have been on hand for some time ; and a few houses have re fused taking new orders until those are finished. The advices from the West Indies by the steamer Parana, which has arrived with $1,625,840, or 850,000/., in specie, do not report any material change in the aspect of commercial affairs. From the Pacific we learn that business at Valparaiso was exceedingly dull. Notice has been given that the dividends on the Peruvian 41 per Cent. Loan will be paid on and after the let proximo. Last week the imports of the precious metals amounted to about 1,044,000, while the exports, 10 as far as can be ascertained, were comparatively "t• small. 3t, 50 The half-yearly report of the English, Scottish, 25 and Australian Chartered Bank, issued prepara , tory to their meeting on the 27th of August, shows M a profit for the six months of 15,8721. The estimate 20 of losses in the last report has proved insufficient, and a further sum of 4,2971. will be required to meet them after absorbing the reserve fund of 3,8781. The amount for appropriation will, there fore, not exceed 11,575/. Out of this a dividend is recommended at the rate of 4 per cent. per an nual, which will require 10,000/. Of the balance 1,4401. is to be applied to preliminary and other expenses, leaving 1351. to be carried to profit and 10613. 50 St. ht the Court of Bankruptcy, on Saturday, there Were farther proceedings in connection with the failure of the Hemel Hempstead and Watford Bank during which it was stated, that the assets are 45,0001., and the liabilities 67,000 The report of the Berlin Water Works Company was read at the meeting of to-day, stating that 110 miles of piping for supplying the city had been laid, and applications wore now made on the part of consumers to carry the works further than origi nally contemplated, and laying on service pipes. The directors proposed to raise a sum not exceeding 8 0,000 i. The accounts showed a balance in hand of 3,7011. After some observations the report was adopted. In Mark Lane, this morning, an advance of is. to 2s. per quarter in the price of English wheat Was reported. Some new wheat, of very fine quality, sold at 80s. per quarter. The paucity of business, and the rise in the price of wheat caused by the unfavourable change in the weather, have produced a slight degree of heavi ness in the English Stock Market, a decline of i per cent. having occurred. Consols opened at 95f for Money, - but they have since been 95 to 95k. For Account they have been 952- 1, and 95 4. The New 3 per Cents. have been 951 to 96i, and the Reduced 951 b. Bank Stock is 2181. Exchequer Bills rule firm at 10s. to 13s, premium, and the Bonds are 1001. For Foreign Securities there is a quiet market, and the prices in a few instances present rather a drooping appearance. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 104 and the 4 per Cents. 1031. Spanish 3 per Cents. are 441, and the Passive 6a. Dutch 21 per Cents. are 65. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7A; Mexican, 224 ; Peruvian, 811 21 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 57 9 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 46 7; Russian 5 per Cents., 111 13 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 98 100 ; Spa nish 3 per Cents., 441 5 ; ditto Deferred, 24,1 i; ditto Certificates, 6 ; ditto Passive, 61- 7. There has not been much variation in the Rail- Way Share Market, owing to the limited business transacted, but most of the principal shares have receded I to It, compared with the closing prices of Saturday. East Anglian, Eastern Counties, one or two others, however, are firm. The French and Belgian lines, in which there is more activity, are generally steady. Great Western of Canada are flat. For Mining, Banking, and Miscellaneous Shares there has been a dull market. Eastern Junction Telegraph Company's Shares are par to prem.

IA: LNG. AUG UST 1 6, C MI AL COURT.—(This Day)• The August session of this Court commenced this morning at the Old Bailey, hefore the Lord Mayor, Alderman Sir J. Duke, M.P., Sir C. Marshall, Alder. man and Sheriff Kennedy, ATT. Under-she:are Stone and Rose, &o. Mr. Commissioner Gurney charged the grand jury, in the absence of the &corder. He raid he was afraid ho could not congratulate them on thoir la bours being light, considerik the number of prisoners contained in the calendar 'for trial', and which was larger than usual, in consequence of a longer time having elapsed since the last session than ordinarily, and was not to be taken as an indication of an in crease of crime. The nature of the cases admitted of congratulation, for with the exception of two, in which death resulted, there were none of a very se rious description to come Wore them. These cases partook of the character of manslaughter, and the case of Joseph Dunn was a rather peculiar one. A coroner's jury was summoned to iuquire into the death of the deceased, and they appeared to have entered into the matter rather hastily, and to have come to the con clusion that the deceased died from natural causes. It appeared that the deceased was unfortunately in a state of intoxication at the time of the accident, and they would have to consider whether the prisoner acted in self-defence, because, in that case, he would not be guilty of the offence charged. The other case of man slaughter was one of a more serious description, and arose out of a drunken frolic of a rather barbarous cha racter. All the parties were more or less in a state of intoxication. The deceased was lying down on board ship when one of the crew poured naphtha on him and set fire to it, and they would have to consider whether, from the evidence that would be submitted to them, they could gather that the offence was committed by the prisoner, John Dunning. Thera was another charge of a somewhat peculiar description in the calendar, viz',' that of Mr. Charles Murphy, charged with stealing a child between five and six years of age. The prisoner alleges that he tetk the child out of kind ness, to support it and bring it up to his Own trade, in consequence of the child being unkindly treated by its parents. If, however, it be showil that the prisoner took away the child, intending to deprive the parents of their child, it would be their duty to find a bill for felony. A charge would be preferred against a Mr. Weston, a publican, for having sold a noxious drug in stead of spirits. It was not, he believed, intentionally done, but rather as a joke. Under certain old acts of Parliament the position of a publican was different to that of many other tradesmen, and there could be no doubt that a publican selling corrupted victuals or drugs for spirits was guilty of a criminal of fence. A learned judge had lately decided that a pub lican was liable, under the acts to which he (Mr. Com missioner Gurney) had alluded, whether he sold the noxious drug instead of spirits knowingly or not. If, therefore, they were satisfied when the case came before them that the publican sold the noxious drag in the place of spirits, they would feel it their duty to return a true bill, and leave to the learned judge who would try the case the applicability of the rather ancient statutes al luded to to the charge in question. The learned gentle man then referred to the Act of Parliament passed last session empowering grand juries to administer an oath to witnesses instead of their being sworn as heretofore in open court. The preamble stated that the alteration had been made to expedite business. Expedite here was meant to improve, but he was afraid it certainly would not have the former effect in the Court ; but any thing that tended to improve justice was of more impor tance than a saving of time. THE CASE OF MR. SNAPS. Mr. James, Q.C,, with whom was Mr. Sergeant Bal lantine, said that Mr. Snape was under recognisances to answer any indictment that might be preferred against him for the manslaughter of a lunatic, who, it was al leged, died from the improper treatment of the defendant. The charge was made at Bow-street, and the defendant committed on 30th Juno. During the last session no charge was preferred against him, although the defen dant was then, as he had been since, ready at any time to meet the charge, and as it was not the intention of the prosecutors to prefer any indictment against the defendant this session, he (Mr. James) applied for the discharge of the defendant's recognisances. The defen dant was a gentleman of limited means, and had been suspended in his situation as medical attendant in con sequence of this charge, the result of which was of the greatest consequence to him. The course pursued by the prosecution entailed great expense on the defendant, and it was hoped, under the circumstances, the applica tion would be acceded to. On Saturday, the Bth inst., the prosecutors' solicitors informed- the solicitor to the defendant that, in consequence of the unavoidable ab ssnce of Sir F. Thesiger from illness, the commissioners in lunacy would not be able to prefer a.bi!l of indict ment against Mr. Snape until the September sessions. To that a reply was sent, regretting the illness of Sir F. Thesiger, and at the same time calling on the prosecutors to prefer a bill against the defendant, who was ready and anxious to meet the charge, and in forming them that, at the ensuing sessions, the defendant would adopt such a course as counsel might advise and circumstances render' necessary. This charge was one of vital importance to the defendant, who was ready at any time to meet the charge, and as he suffered from being under recognisances it was hoped the Court would order them to be discharged. Mr. Bodkin, on the part of the prosecutors, said that the facts, with one exception, had been correctly stated, and that was that no bill was preferred at the last session at the request of the defendant, who was not then pre pared with his defence. It was too bad fur the defen dant to complain of the prosecutors not being able to proceed with the prosecution this session, after having postponed the case to consult his convenience. Nothing serious could arise from the delay, nor any benefit from the discharge of the recognisances, assuming the defen dant was ready, as it had been stated, to come forward at any time. No doubt some inconvenience attended the charge, because it was inconvenient to be tried at all. Under the circumstances he resisted the appli cation, and moved that the recegniFauces be enlarged Mr. James said that this was not a matter of incon venience, in the general acceptation of the term, to the defendant, but of actual ruin to him. His lordship asked what expense had been incurred by the defendant before he was served with the ndtica of postp-mernent Mr. James said th-.lre bai been the mull and necos• sary oonsultation9, &c., but beyond that he had no in formation. His lordship said that would have bleu tlee same under any circumstances. • Mr. S-rgeant Ballantine—But the defendant suffers greatly from being suspended. His lordship said that was another question. He did not seo that he could relieve the defendant by discharg ing his recognisar.cas, especially as he was ready to appear at any time to answer the charge. Mr. James said th•it was the only course the defend• ant could adopt. His Lordship said the Court ought not to have been called on to mark their sense of the evil sustained by the defendant by discharging hiS recognisancea. So far from the adoption of such a course benefitting him it would be both inconvenient and unpleasant to him, be cause he would have co attend next session under a war• rant instea3 of under his own recognisances. A bill would no doubt be preferred next session against the defendant, and the next course would be to apply for a warrant against him, and he would be brought up in custody. , Mr. James—Not if the jury ignored the bill. His Lordship said if no bill was fonnd, of course there would be no trial. He thought the prosecu tors ought to remain under recognisances to prefer te charge, and to compel them to attend and discharge a public duty they had taken on themselvv. The Court regretted that the defendant hail suffered na.)re than in convenience from the course adopted, who was entitled to the kind forbearance of his friende, by his readiness to meet,the charge. The recognisances were enlarged accor3ingly. SHE CASE OF AIR. GOSLING. The charge of inciting young girls t) expose t hemselves in the parks preferred a , i.,ainst Mr. Gosling , has been removed by certiorari into the Court of Queen's Bench. A letter from Warsaw in the hamburg News says :—"ln addition to the representativesof Polish nobility, five representatives of commerce will be present at the coronation fetes. The towns of Warsaw, Lublin, Random, Plozk, and Suwalki have each been called on to appoint a represen tative." A letter from Vienna of the 12th in the Post- Aript Gazette says :—" Count Coronini, Com• mander-in-Chief of the army of occupation of the principalities, left, Giurgevo with his suite by a steamer for Temeswar. According to accounts from the Lower Danube, the term of the imperial occupation is drawing to a close. All the heavy materiel and the field equipments have already been brought up the Danube by steamers, but ,no time has yet been positively fixed for the depar ture of the troops. The Turkish troopi have be gun to retire from the two points of Bucharest and Giurgevo, which they occupied in concert with the Austrians. The Turkish artillery and _cavalry have gone to Schumla." CORN EXCHANGE. Very limited supplies of English wheat were on sale in the country markets held on Saturday, and the trade ruled steady on rather higher terms. Barley and flour were firm. In other articles very little was doing. Nearly the whole of the continental markets have betri dull and rather drooping. In the United States large quantities of wheat and flour have lately changed hands on English account. Up to our markets last week the arrivals of home-grown produce wore small. From abroad we received 30,680 qrs. of wheat, 11,360 barley, 24,029 oats, 1,090 beans, 2;245 peas, 4,531 seeds, 50 sacks and 41,973 barrels of flour. A very limited supply of English wheat was received fresh up to our market today, coastwise and by land car riage. Owing to the prevailing changeable weather, we had a much better feeling in the demand for all kinds, and prices advanced, compared with Monday last, from is to 23 per quarter. A few samples of new wheat were received from Essex. The quality was very fine, and the prices ranged from 80a to 82s per quarter. Very little wheat has as yet been carted in the home counties. Although the show of foreign wheat was extetisive, there was a slight improvement in the demand, and late rates were fully supported. In floating cargoes of grain next to nothing was doing, New barley sold readily, A 48s to 503 por quarter. Old parcels were steady, at full currencies. The amount of business doing in malt was comparatively small, at about stationary prices. Oats were in moderate supply and fair request, at last week'a currency. The show of beaus was limited, and most kinds were steady, at late rates. For peas we had only a moderate inqairy. Prkces, how• ever, were supported. The flour trade was steady, and country marks wore rather dearer. A large quantity of inferior American flour was on sale.

There was a fair supply of foreign stock in our marke to-day. _ From onr own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh np were moderate, and in very middling conditidu. For all breeds we had an active demand, at an improve ment in the quotations paid on Monday last of 2d per 81bs —the best Scots being worth . ss . p . er Blbs, The arrivals from w Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, &c., amounted to 2,000 short horns ; from other parts of Eng land 500 of various breeds ; from Scotland one Scot ; and from Ireland, via Liverpool, 178 oxen. The show of sheep was seasonably good, but the quality of most breeds was by no means first-rate. The mutton trade ruled steady, and last week's prices were well sup ported. Prime lambs sold steadily at full quotations. Inferior lambs were rather slow in sale at barely late rates. Calves, the show of which was moderate, sold steadily on former terms. The pork trade was dull. In prices no change took place. _ Per 81bs to sink the offal:. s. d. s. d.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO CARMEN.—Thomas Avery, a carman in the employ of Mr. Cheal,' carrier to her Majesty, was brought before Mr. Beadon, charged with being drunk and furiously driving a horse and cart. He was also charged with assaulting Police-constable O'Brien, 196 C, and James Parry, hackney-carriage attendant, No. 39, while in the execution of their duty. O'Brien stated that on Saturday evening he was on duty in St. James's-street, when his attention was called to the defendant, who was driving a horse and cart at a furious rate down the street. ' Witness endeavoured to stop him, but the defendant flogged the horse and drove faster, and would have got away had not one of the wheels come off the cart and flung the prisoner out. Witness, perceiving him to be in liquor, took him into custody, when he (defendant) struck him and knocked off his hat. Parry, the attendant at the cab-stand, came to his assistance, and after a deal of trouble the defendant was eventually lodged in the station-house. Parry corroborated the evidence of last witness, and added that the prisoner struck him (Parry) several times when on the way to the station. The prisoner, in defence, said he had only three pints of beer on his way from Windsor, but as his head could not stand the drink it overcame him. Mr. Beadon said that had nothing to do with his gdpia , .: full gallop down the street, to the danger of the public, and then assaulting the officer who attempted to stop his, mad career. As a caution to him for the future, he (Yin Beadon) should fine him 40s. or one month for furi ous driving, and 403. or one month for the assault on the officer. SOUTHWARK. ROBBERY 13Y THIMBLE RIGGERS.—.Robert Costello, a man well known at races and fairs as the King of the Thimble riggers, from-the expert manner in which he changes the pea, was brought before Mr. Seeker, for further examination, charged with stealing a 51. Bin s of Ergland note from the peirson of Philip Rives, a Jersey sailor. Mr. M'Oubrey, of the northern circuit, ir4ructed by Mr. Howe, attended on behalf of the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence given on a former ocoa. siion, that on Wednesday morning, the 6th inst., the prc secutor and two other sailors left their ship at Limo house in a cab for the purpose of proceeding to Jersey, by the South-Western Railway. Being too early for the train they all went to a cook shop opposite the Victoria Theatreand partook of refreshments. 0 n leaving the house they were accosted by a yank man who asked them to partake of a glass of ale with hire, when they all entered a beer-shop in Webber-skeet. While sitting there drinking the prisoner came in, and offered the two breast-pins for sale, which they declined to purchase. The prisoner 'then took out three thimbles and a pea, which he kept shifting about, telling them that they should have the pin for nothing if they could tell him which thimble the pea was under. Some of the men sitting there were making bets, and, thinking that be might win something, he agreed to bet, and put his hand in his fob-pocket to get at his money. He bad that pocket a 51. Bank of England note, a half crown piece, and some gold. In endeavouring to get at the half-crown the note came partially out of his pocket, when the prisoner ran up to him and snatched it from him, and ran away with it. . . On the Friday afterwards prosecutor saw the prisoner enter the Hit-or-Miss beer-shop, in the Waterloo-road, when he told a police-constable, and they entered that house and found the prisoner secreted up4tairs There were several men with 'the prisoner, and as some of them ara suppostd to be hi league with him, Mr. Seeker remanded himilintil to-day to give the cacer . (est?p, 65 L) an oppofitunity of finding them. The prosecutor was also bound over to attend. When the case was called on, Weston said that the prosecutor was not in attendance, and ho understood that he had, since the last examination, sailed to Australia. Mr. Seeker asked whether there wag any witness who saw the prisoner snatch the note ? Weston replied in the negative. Mr. M'Oubray said that the prosecutor bad made a mistake in his man ; that was the reason he was not in attendance. •Rad he been present he should have been able to show the prisoner's innocence. Mr. Seeker said that as there was no prosecutor in the case the prisoner must be discharged. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This ray.) LONDON, Aug. 18,—Wind this day at noon, N.; fresh breezy and cloudy weather.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN HOLLAND.. —An acci. dent, with loss of life, occurred last Sunday evening by a collision on the railway between Schiedam and Rot terdam. • Two carriages were shattered to fragments, a third was also brc.ken, and another very much damaged. Three persons were killed on the ppot, and about 30 are said to have been injured, one of wheal died on Mon day, and several others are in a precarious state. ZPOP.,TING 1101.1 E-3. •11.•••• •:•••••••=.6, A PARTHIAN GLANCE. The only meeting of real importance, celebrated' hast week, was that at Reading ; the others, that ivegai crowded into the five days, were not marked by an incl. dent scarcely worth remembering, and were mainly, dits tieguished for their meagre supply of sport. And no wonder, for notwithstanding the facilities of railway travelling, neither horses nor men can long endurntbe moil and turmoil attendant upon rapid movements from place to place. besides, too, animals are now being re served for important engagements at York, Doncaster, Newmarket, and other autumnal gatherings. Last week there were too many meetings by half, and clerks , of courses were taught a lesson which is likely to render them more cautious in making their " fixtures." ' At Wolverhampton the sport was a complete failure, and the proceedings being tediously and unnecessarily ex tended to three days, dragged their slow length along until the most ardent supporter of the meeting became weary and dissatisfied. This great drawback from the success of the meeting will, however, be obviated next year, when I am informed that the suggest on which I have fre quently made in the columns of The Sun, to the effect of limiting the gathering 'to the Monday and Tuesday, will be adopted. The committee may then calculate up on providing two days interesting sport, and by persuading the Reading people to hold their meeting on the Wed nesday and Thursday they will avoid all prejudicial clashing. The race committee at Wolverhampton con sists of good men and true, who, ever earnestly and with a cordial co-operation, endeavour to promote the pros perity of their undertaking. Their management is legi timately conducted, and their arrangements for the accommodation of the public are always made on a liberal scale. For these reasons lam anxious to see the meeting ' elevated to that position among racing fixtures which, with a little judicious management, it will surely attain. Mr. Topham did all - he could for Lewes, and next year, when the meeting will take place on the two days fol lowing Brighton. races, he will receive the first "instal ment" of the reward which his untiring exertions in the pursuit of sport under difficulties richly deserve. The Abingdon meeting, which was conducted by a most incompetent staff of officials, and which only re quires a little practical knowledge on the part of.the promoters of it to become popular, interfered most an noyingly with Mr. Frail plans at Ludlow. Mr. Frail, however, is not the man to be easily discouraged ; and considering the difficulties which ho encountered, I am surprised that he was enabled to command so satisfac tory a supply of eport. The racing incidents of tho week were neither many nor important. Pretty Boy won the Lewes -Handicap on the Monday, albeit it was evident that his stable com panion, Vary, could, if " wan t e d," h ave g a lloped over him at tfie finish. He was afterwards sent to Reading for the Berkshire Stakes, and so great a certainty was his success deemed that 6 to 4 was betted on him. Brother to Grey Tommy, however, spoiled the good thing, and affnrded all persons a pleasant opportunity of congratulating that ripe and true sportsman, Mr. Drinkald, on the triumph of his colours. By the way, Mr. Drinkald possesses two - youngsters of much mark and likelihood in Black Tommy and M. Debbler, both of whom will, I expect, one day distinguish themselves. The race between Gemma di Vergy and Zaidee has been correctly described as the most clove and interesting o f tie season. As a trainer remarked to me, it was worth going a hundred miles to see. Gemma di Vergy ran with indomitable gameness. At the distance he appeared beaten, but he struggled on to the end, got up in the last few strides, and won by only a short head, or as some provincial judges would have said " by a nose." Kendal rode the winner admirably, and his handling of the horse justified the opinion, which I have frequently, expressed, as to his being one of the most skilful and resolute horsemen of the day. Gemma di Vergy's performance at Reading, however, was perhaps scarcely so extraordinary as that at Abingdon, where, after losing about a hundred yards start, and with a Sibs penalty on his back, he made up his lost ground, and brought his backers threugh in triumph. Sandboy ran second twice in the week, but people are becoming so accustomed to see the black jacket and orange cap in that position that the circumstance has ceased to be surprising. They, however, who saw the race at Wolverhampton declare that Sandhog ought to have beaten Guldbill, and so he ought if there be any truth-in the running for the Goodwood Stakes. The "Stewards' Subscription List," for the benefit of the injured jockeys at Goodwood and' the Chichester Infirmary, has only received donations to the amount of 3591., and this paltry surn bas been subscribed by men Who 'think nothing' in the way of business of risking their thou ands on the result of a single race. Tile insignifwan t sums subscribed show a parsimony and an indifference which I thought had no existence aznongst racing men. Tile York meeting, which will commence on Wednes day, will ba most interesting. Tomorrow I shall enter nt , ) a full discussion of the probabilities. A FRESH MAR. Aug. 18.

MILITARY SWINDT,ERS. The practice has become sa prevalent of late amongst several young cfficers at the garrison of giving fictitious bills to their tradesmen in payment, that the command ant (Col. Jefferies) has toned it necessary to caution the public through our co'umne, and those of our contempo raries, never to take any of them in exchange for goods or cash without first aectsr:ai u ing !rem t,ll it bankers or army agents whether there seer` , a,ny balanfe in hand to Meet them. The complaints to tee colon , =.l of this practice were of almmtfdaily occurrence, several tradesmen. in Newport, Portsmouth, and Soutlnit»pton, having Leen fleeced within these few weeks past of cash and goods to a very considerable amount by some who were cre dited with necessaries or luxpries, and often with kith, to a very large amount, on the strength of their namso or tittTe - ift who—not content with obtaining the goods for the mere trouble of sending for them—have in many in stances given hills on their agents for touch larger amounts, and drawing the overplus in hard sovereigns (for a present supply of pecket-rnoney) from the unsus pecting dupes,, who were only awakened from their pleasing revcr:e of "getting paid their accounts" by a postal announcement the next day with the highly disup peinting appendage, "no effects !" We understand that two of these scamps have been allowed to retire from her Majesty's service without getting back the price of their cotutuission9, iu order to avoid criminal proceedings, whilst others have been placed under arrest by the corn inanda,nt, who, we find, goes with us most cordially in the opinion that suoh a coulee of proceeding is neither more nor less than downright swindling, and s hould be punished "as the law directs." We should like tosee one of these swindlers at the barof public justice, in order to shame the rest. —Hampshire Independent. TEIE MURDER NEAR DUPER.
