For a long time'past affairs in this department have not been so quiet, and busi ness so limited as at present. Very few dealings are recorded, and Consols remain at 894 I for money, and at 891 90 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 89i ; E ichequer Bills, March, lBs. to 14s. dis.; ditto June 15s, to ss. dis.; In dia 6 per Cents., 1044 ; Enfaced 4 per Cents., 92 i ; and the Bonds, 108. dis. In the general Money Market affairs show no important change. The inquiry for money has been rather active, and the quotations, viz., 7-1 and per Cent. for the best three months' paper, have been fi rmly maintained. It was generally con sidered probable that both the Bank of England and the brokers out of doors would have experienced a pressure for discounts, owing to the near approach of the 4th of the month ; but this has not been the case, and therefore there has not been any further advanc e in the terms for accommodation. There was no alteration of importance in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. The Germania has arrived from New York with £14,900. In the Foreign Market increased firmness is ap parent, but business is not very active. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 71 ; do. Consolides, 501 Q ; Mexican, 29 ; do. New, 261 e ; Greek, 23i 24k; Spanish Passive, 30/ ; do. Certificates, 11 I ; Por tuguese, 47i 48k; Russian, 881 ; and the Confede rate Loan, 75k 76k. Business in the Railway Share Market has been moderately active, but prices have in most instances exhibited a downward movement. Great Northern have receded fully £3 10s, Caledonian, Great Wes tern, Brighton, and North Western eaoh 10s., while Midland have improved Se. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there is little change to record with regard to prices. For Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there has been a moderate inquiry; prices, however, ha•ce slightly given way. London and County have receded to 76k; London Joint Stock, to 50 ; Hudson's Bay Company, to 161 n ; Mercantile Shipping Company shares are quoted 1. 1 1 prem.; Maritime Credit, 11 2i prem.; London Engineering and Inin Shipbuilding Company, it 2 prem.

From the evidence it appeared that some repairs were going on at the house of the prosecutor, for which reason the front door was occasionally left open. A few days ago, while Mr Clarke was sitting reading in his parlour, he saw the prisoner coming down stairs with a bundle and a rilk umbrella under her arm. He asked her what she wanted here, and she replied, " It's all right; I have been to see madame on the second floor." Witness was dissatisfied with the statement, and requested the prisoner to wait till ho had made some inquiry, but she said the was in a great hurry, and ran out of the house. Witness followed her and gave her into custody, upon which she affected to be stupidly intoxicated, and incapable ot explaining anything. The property was identified by Mrs Sherbrook, a lady re siding in the house, and was valued at El. he prisoner appealed to the lady to have mercy upon her for the sake of her dear children, and tried to get up a scene in court, but Sergeant Franklin, of the E division had an unfavourable remembrance of her past career, and Mr Vaughan committed her fur trial. A young man, a native of Prussia, named Heddeler, was placed at the bar charged with being found concealed in a house in Hanover-street. The prisoner was =labia to speak a word of English, but through the aid of an interpreter it was discovered that he had been about three weeks in London, but that he was labouring under a delusion that he was being constantly watched by the police, and he accounted for his being found in the house by saying that he went in and hid himself to escape the officer who was passing him, Mr Vaughan said it was a very unfortunste thing that an apparently respectable young man in such a condition should be left to roam about London. He thought if the Prussian consul was waited on he would send him hack to his friends. A constable was then despatched with Heddeler to ascer tain whether he would transmit the prisoner to his friends In Prussia. WESTMINSTER. EXEMPLARY DAUGHTER AND MODEL SERVANT.— Elizabeth Carby, a girl 23 years of age, was charged under the following circumstances : Mrs Carty, the defendant's mother, a very creditable looking elderly woman, in widow's weeds, said that the de fendant came to her house, at Chelsea, at half-past one this morning, and pulled violently at the bell. Complainant opened the window and inquired what she wanted, when defendant demanded some money, and because it was not immediately given her she demolished ten panes of glass. Mr Arnold—Does she live with you? Complainant—No, I should be afraid to let her. We all go in fear of her. She threatens both me and the children, and it is only a little while ago that she ran after one of them and threatened to cut her down with a chopper. Mr Arnold—How does she get her living ? Complainant—By service, when she pleases, but she is as bad in place as she used to be at home—she won't keep a situation. She has been in many excellent ones, but always leaves. She thinks nothing, if her mistress offends her, of taking up a jug, or anything:of that sort, and throwing it at her. When she leaves her situation she disposes of her clothes, and fresh ones have to be purchased for her. Mr Arnold—Has this sort of conduct continued long? Complainant— For something like five years, during which she has been the cause of great pain and trouble to me. She has been in the workhouse, where she broke the windows, and has also been twice in prison. Nothing can exceed her violence of disposition. Mr Arnold (to defendant)—What do you say to the charge P Defendant—l wanted something and she would not give it me. I hadn't had anything all the day. Mr Arnold—You are charged with breaking the windows. Defendant--• That's true. I broke them—l don't deny it. Why did not she give me something when I asked here Mr. Arnold, ordered her to And bail to keep the peace for he next three months. Committed in default. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A MAN CHARGED WITH SEVERAL VIOLENT ASSAULTS —John Cunningham, a rough fellow, who has several times been convicted for violent assaults, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with the following violent assaults : Mrs Emerton, wife of Mr Robert Emerton, of the Two Brewers, Little St. Andrew's-street, said that on the pre vious afternoon the prisoner entered the house and began abusing her husband, who was ill, in the vilest manner. She requested him to leave the house, and put her hand on his arm, when he turned round and seized her by the throat, and, but for the interference of her brother, she believed the prisoner would have strangled her. Her husband tlien gave the prisoner into custody. In answer to Mr Tyrwhitt, Mrs Emerton said the pri sonpr had been drinking in the house. Mr Henry Stephens, of Avenue-terrace, Lewisham, brother of Mrs Emerton, proved seeing the prisoner seize his sister by the throat, and said that on releasing her he knocked him about a good deal, and made it great disturb ance. A female servant at the house said she had been with a boy to a place to get some sand and lime, and prisoner had been employed by the person where the articles were pur chased to load the truck, and therefore came to her master, thinking he had a claim upon him for doing so. The prisoner caught hold of her (witness) by the throat and thre re her down because she would not 16ave the truck. Police-constable Wright, 131 F, was called to the Two Brewers, where the prisoner was given into his charge for assaulting several persons. The prisoner became very violent, and struck and kicked him, and swore ho would have his life. The prisoner had been several times in cus tody for violent assaults. Rogers, 89 F, went to the assistance of the last witness, and was thrown down by the prisoner several times, The prisoner tried to bite him several times, and all the way to the station behaved in the most violeni, manner, There were the names of other persons who had been assaulted by the prisoner on the charge-sheet, but they were not called. The prisoner said he had some drink and it did him no good, Mr Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 10s, or 14 days for the assault on Mrs Emerton and the servant, and 5s or seven days for each of the other assaults. John Lamb, a labourer, was charged with assaulting Police-constable Reimers, 593 A. Reimers having been informed that the prisoner had been asitaulting his wile in Waterloo-place went there, and saw the wife's face smothered in blood. He asked the wife whether she would charge her husband, but she declined to do so. Prisoner then struck his wife again, and Reimers seeing the assault took him into custody, when the prisoner struck Reimers and became very violent. Mr Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for a month for each assault, The prisoner and his wife (the latter having been charged with disorderly conduct and dibcharged) were surprised at the result, the wife stating that she had not charged her husband with assaulting her, ;t:xn.tioy.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. HEALTH OF LONDON. The Weather and the Crops. STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTFR. Aug. 2.—To some extent it appears the quietness recently prevalent in this market has been caused by en impression that the reported peace negotiations in America were not only well founded, but might lead to some settlement. The advises to hand this morning by the Peruvian have sufficiently negatived such impression, and sellers breathe more freely again. The market for shipping yarns has assumed a more cheerful aspect under the circumstances, and some considerable orders have been given out in yarns for Russia and for better class of yarns in bundle, at the highest, point of the market ; and as indication of more confidence among buyers,it may be mentioned that merchants have not been unwilling to give considerable time for the seardi t affected by the c ompletiou of suck ord ers .

There is not much animation among the woolstaplers, but they, as well as the consumers, have little or no prospect that the pre sent London sales will bring about a decline in price, NOTTINGHAM, Aug. 2.—At this Exchange-hall to-day there was a limited attendance, and the de mand for lace yarns was slow, but the prices of last week were maintained. In hosiery yarns there was not much doing, and prices remained without any important alteration. Silks about the same as heretofore. Rather more doing in brown nets at full prices, with a tendency to a d vance. ROCHDALE, Ist.—The attendance at tteday's market has been fair, and a satisfactory amount of business has been transacted. There is a well-sus tained demand for flannels, especially the low and middle-priced descriptions. Prices are steady, but symptoms of a further there are advance. There has been a fair clearance.teeday of all the York shire goods offered, though operations in them no doubt would be more extensive but for their exces sive dearness. There has lately b een a falling off in the amount of business done in the warehouses, which no doubt is partly attributable to high prices and partly to the recent increase in the rate of discount.

This is supported by a mass of masonry about 60 feet square, and piercing to a depth which no excavatiou has yet reached. Nearly three sides et this block have been exposed by exca vations of former years, and now a fourth has been nearly completed. Other interesting discoveries have also been made at this spot; but as to the purpose of the etructuro ara divided iu opinion. During the past week a general complaint has arisen in the corn-growing districts of Yorkshire that the wheat and oat crops are extensively invested with black lice. These appear in myriads in some places, and are said to prey exclusively upon the ears of the corn. The crops adjoining the quickest hedges are the worst, the middle of the fields being comparatively free. It is supposed the lice have been generated owing to the lengthened .drought, and considerable anxiety is felt by most farmers lest their presence may still more injure the crops, which are already estimated as being one-fourth lighter than last year, and are to some extent pre maturely ripening from want of rain. Indeet3 there is every reason to suppose that the harvest will be begun next week. There are some farmers who treat the lice trade lightly, and think the wheat crop will prove rather light, hot very good in quality. Barley does not appear to be touched by this insect plague, but is generally spoken of as light, but promising in quality.,Beaus and turnips have made no progress last week; indeed, the latter are said to have gone back, and in some of the East Riding districts (where no rain worth mention has falle❑ this year) the crop has become so burnt up that the fields are being ploughed out for summer fallows for wheat sowing early in the autumn. This, of coarse, will cause a serious deficiency in the win• ter's supply of meat. The hay crop was never better secured, but now that the harvest is com pleted the yield is said to be only half the average. Hay is rising rapidly in price, and farmers are looking with anxiety to the prospects of scarcity, or at least dearness, of fodder in the coming winter. Another week of splendid summer has passed, completing (says the Sussex Advertiser) a month such as is rarely witnessed in July. With the ex ception of a very few slight and partial showers, little or no rain has fallen throughout the month, and although during the past week there have been daily threatenings of a change in the weather and of coming rain, the menaced "fall" has ended in a mere few small drops, or has passed off in thick mist. Harvest has begun in various parts of the district upon a small scale, with wheat, peas, and barley. The warm suns of the past ten days have rapidly ripened the grain, and the only fear is, that the ripening process, owing to the long continued drought, will proceed at a rate that will bring the crops to maturity all at once. The reports from different quarters are somewhat conflicting, but looking to the accounts as a wh o l e , there seems a pretty general agreement that on well farmed and good soils the crops will be very satis tory though not particularly heavy. On thin and light soils the effect of the protracted absence of moisture is very injuriously felt, and premature ripening of the grain is apprehended, At the same time we are bound to add that, from the statement placed at our command, the injury arising from the want of rain does not appear to have been so great as might have been anticipated. From the hop districts the accounts come extremely favourable. In spite of the absence of rain, the want of which is universally lamented by every correspondent, the bines seem,on all good and well-cultivated grounds, to have made 'considerable progress, and to be show ing plenty of fruit. Some good soaking showers are, say the planters, all that is wanted at this moment, and if these be followed by a fine time for picking, all will go right. Many planters declare that the picking will bo early. The Railway Accident at Margate. MARGATE, Atig: 2. The railway accident which took place at the South-Eastern station here yesterday afternoon was of a more serious character than was A t first appre hended. One passenger, the wife of a stonemason named Locke, died about an hour and a half after being extricated from the broken carriages. She was literally scalped, a great portion of the hair being found with her headdress among the rubbish. Both her thighs were fractured, and she had other bruises and contusions in different parts of her body. Another passenger, a gentleman residing at Favers ham, had two ribs fractured, and sustained other injuries; and two ladies belonging to Margate were fearfully crushed, but had no bones broken. Seve ral other persons were more or less contused and shaken. The accident resulted from the 2.20 p.m. train from London running into the station at full speed, and coming violently into collision with a short train waiting to be despatched to Ramsgate. The Ramsgate train consisted of on'y three car riages—one first, one second, and one third elms --in which a number of passengers had taken their seats, while others were walking about the platform. Things were in this state when the London train was observed approaching at the rate, it is said, of fully 20 miles an hour. A cry of alarm was raised on the platform, and several of the pas sengers escaped death by jumping out of the stationary carriages. In a few seconds the advanc ing train dashed into the stationary one, jambing the three carriages against the fixed buffers, at the end of the station. The first and second class crrriages were forced up on their ends, and the third class carriage. which was first struck by the force of the advancing engine, was thrown on the top of the other two, all three being broken and crushed into a shapeless mass. In one respect it was fortunate that the Ramsgate train was in the way, as otherwise the London train, to which very damage was done, would have run into the waiting-rooms and booking office, and the destruc tion of life and property would have been immense. As soon as possible the unfortunate passengers were extricated from the debris of the carriages, and prompt measures were taken to clear the line. In the course of two hours the trains were received and despatched Lrom the platform as usual. The " Stalybridge Infant" Charged with. Cheating at Cards. SECOND EDITION. THAMES. MURDEROI7B ASSAULT.—Alexander Weir, a shipwright, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with violently assaulting his wife. Ambrose, a police-constable, No. 192 H, put in a medical certificate stating that the injured woman, Elizabeth Weir, was in the London Hospital suffering from injuries on the abdomen, and was in great danger. Ambrose then pro ceeded to state that he was called into the house, No, 23, Leman-street, Whitechapel, yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, and found the prisoner's wife lying on the first floor landing, at the top of the stairs. She complained of great pain ; her hands were on her stomach, and she said that her husband had beaten her, and kicked her on the belly. She was immediately removed to the hospital. Mr Stoddart, solicitor, who appeared for the prisoner, said the woman in the hospital was a person of very drunken and dissipated habits, and that she sold her husband's pro perty. She was intozicated yesterday, struck her husband across the hand with a poker, and scratched his face. She was a bulky woman, and fell down on her face and hurt herself, Mr Paget remanded the prisoner for a week. Mr Stoddart asked the magistrate to take bail. Mr Paget—With this certificate before me I cannot take bail. A DELICIOUS SUOGESTION.—It has bean urged as a comm2reial question that honey is not now of the same importance as it was before the sugar-cane was discovered, and that gas has superseded wax candles. I am satisfied from many considerations that if people would eat honey at breakfast instead of rancid London butter and nasty greasy bacon, not only would their health be better, but their temper would be sweeter. I find invariably that people who like honey are persons of gmial and affectionate temper. If Mr Cobden and Mr Roebuck had only taken honey at breakfast, or a choice fragment of virgin honey at dessert, they would never have given birth to I hose vinegar speeches which did them no credit. I wish somebody would send Mr Spurgeon a supper of good honey. Three months' diet on this celestial food would induce him to give up those shockingly bitter and unchristian tirades he has been making against the clergy of the Church of England. The producers of honey never draw their stings unless in defence of their homesteads, and the eaters and admirers of honey rarely indulge in acrimonious language. I believe a great deal of bud iesling is not moral or mental, but phy sical, in its origin. If you have in a congregation, or in a school, or is a convocation some one who sets everybody by the ears, treat him to a little honey at breakfast for six months, and the "thorn will blossom as the rose." People thL:t can't eat honey—hune tis cavcto—they can't .evcr fit ,‘ a land overflowing with mil's and honey,—.77iePeentcpter in the Ti (From the Registra:-General's Report.) Sixteen hundred and seven deaths were registered in London in the week that ended last Saturday. The average number of deaths for the 30th week of ten previous years, 1851-63, is, with correction for increase of population, 1,302. The mortality of last week was therefore very high, for it exceeded the estimated amount by about 300 deaths. The deaths in the four weeks of July successively were 1,268, 1,300, 1,399, and 1,607. The mean temperature of the air was in the same periods as follows-56 . 5 deg., 60.8 deg., 66.5 deg., and 63.6 deg. In the third week it was 5 deg. above the average. The summer heat has produced the effect which always attends it in London. The deaths from diarrhoea were 81, 97, and 145 in the first three weeks of ! July, and in the last week they rose to 274. Of the last number all except 21 occurred to infante. In the week that corresponded with last week in 1863 the deaths from diarrhoea were 233; in those of 1857 and 1839 they were 302 and 382. Up to the present time the complaint has not been so prevalent or not so fatal as it was at the same period in two previous summers. Besides the cases referred to diarrl.ce a,14 were re turned es caused by cholera, chiefly cholera infan tuna. Two adults died of cholera. In the Kensingtonetovn sub-district 11 deaths were recorded from diarrlce ; in the Belgrave sub district 8, in the east end west sub-districts of Islington 12 in each; in St. Peter, Walworth, 7; in St. Paul's, Deptford, 8; in Marylebone there were 15 ; in Pancras 19; in Shoreditch 14; in Bethnal-green 14; in Poplar 9. There were 79 deaths from measles, and 63 from scarlatina; 14 of the former were in Bethnal-green, 11 of the latter in Westminster. A man, aged 53 years, died in S. Mary's Hos pital, when under the inilaence of chloroform. A boy, aged 3 years, died from sucking hot water from the spout of a tea kettle. A girl, aged 7 years, died of exhaustion consequent on eating im proper fish. . _ Among the street accidents that are so frequent in London, acd some of which as term i nat i ng f ata lly are reported by the registrars a l most every week, it is proper to men!ioll the death of a deaf and dumb man who was killed by a fire engine. In the verdict of the coroner's jury it is stated that he was accidentally run over. A widow died at the age of 97 years. Last week the births of 1,011 boys and 940 girls, in all 1,951 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1854. 63 the average number (corrected) was 1,859. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29•782 in. . The reading fell to 29 . 59 in. on Monday, and rose to 30.03 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 63 6 deg,, which is 1.4 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaishcr); the lowest night tem perature was 47.7 deg. on Wednesday; the highest day temperature %V 81382. 2 deg. on Friday. The range of tempenatnre in the week was therefore 34.5 deg. The mean daily range was 25.1 deg. The difference between the mean dew.point temperature and air temperature was 10.5 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 69, complete saturation be ing represented by 100. On two days the humidity was as low as 60. The wind blew from the bouth west. The amount of rain was o'l3 in., all of which fell on Monday. The mean of the highest tempera tures of the water of the Thames was 66.9 dog.; that of the lowest was 64.9 deg. The deaths in Vienna, as returned by Dr. Glatter, were 335 and 314 in the weeks ending the 16th and 23d of July, when the mean temperatures were 67.6 deg. and 64.7 deg., those at Greenwich having been 60.8 deg. and 66.5 deg. The births registered in Dublin during the week ending the 30th of July were 140 (76 boys and 64 girls), and the deaths were 112 (51 males and 61 females) in a population of 254,808 (in 1861) spread over an area of 3,808 statute acres. Mid Wales Itai:waY Company, The half-yearly meeting of this company we e held yesterday at the offices, Gresom-house, Old Broad-street ; Me. O. H. Whalley, /eLP., in the chair. The report congratulated the shareholders nee the c ompletion of the line, which would be opened ft;.r public tr, flio so soon as the Government officer had inspected and approved it. The usual notice to the Board had been given, and it was expected the inspection would take place in the course of next week. The bill promoted by the company had passed into law. The report of Mr. 13. Piercy, the engineer, stated that the line from Llanidloes to the junction with the Brecon and Merthyr Railway at Tall-y-llyn had been practically cern . pleted, and awaited inspection by the Government officer. Au arrangement had been made with the Hereford, Hay, and Brecon, and Brecon and Merthyr Railway Companies for the joint construction of the stations and works at the junctions with the railways of those companies at the Three Cocks and Tall-yellyn, and it was therefore thought better to finish all those wolles 'before the Government In spector was requested to examine the line rather than to commence the traffic with less perfect ar rangement. The capital account showed that £810,641 had been received, and £807,999 ex pended, leaving a balance of L 2,515. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the meeting on the comple tion of the line. They had encountered many diffi culties in carrying out the undertaking, but it was needless to refer to them. Messrs. Watson and Overend were the contractors who had completed the line, and he was happy to say that no differences had arisen between them and the Board. The directors had been successful in their applications to Parliament, and had obtained the powers sought. There were clauses conferring a conditional exchange of running powers w'Ste other companies which he hoped would be mutually beneficial to all parties. He thought there was every reason to expect as good a traffic on their line as that on the lines of other companies similarly situated. He believed they would derive considerable benefit from the through traffic. Mr J. WERRND said he had no doubt they would get their fair share of the through traffic. After some observations by Mr E. Parker and Capt. J, W. Johns as to their particular desire being to keep on good terms with their neighbours, the report and statement of accounts were unanimously adopted, and the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors: At the Manchester City Police Court, yesterif ay, Samuel Hurst, the landlord of the Wilton Arms, 3.layes-street, Sudehill, and who is known in pugilistic cir ales as the Stalybridge Infant, was summoned for allowing • gambling in his house, and also for stealing £ll from JOE eph John Kelly.—Mr Cobbett, for the complainant, said the charge against the defendant was that he stole money ram the complainant Kelly by cheating him at cards. TI is police had also a summons against the defendant for pel!mitting gaming in his house of an unlawful character. Kelly had carried on business in New Orleans, but two months ago he returned to this country, bringing money he Iliad saved there. About three weeks ago he came to Maaches'er, , and became acquainted with aMr Saqui. About 2 o'clock - on the 25th July, at the invitath:n of a person named Hem y, they went into the defendant's house. The complaiesa It Kelly was induced by Hurst to plc y at cards, in the course ' of which some whiskey and water ►vas brought in, which no doubt was drugged, for after drinking it Kelly became unconscious of what lie was about, although still continu ing th e gambling, in the course of which Hurst got £lO of hie. Saqui did all he possibly could to ino race the complain ant to leave, but ho was in great difficulty, becalm) a con siderable number of persons were present, the whole of whom were acting apparently in concert with Hurst. When Kelly had lost all his money, Saqui got hien to his howe, where he became excessively ill. When he re • covered he had no recollection whatever of what took place in the house.—The complainant said about two o'clock in the day they entered the defendant's he use. Segni and Henry began to play at bagatelle, wile Hurst talked with him about America. Henry the n challenged any one present to toss for " glasses round. Hurst accepted the challenge and won. Afterwards Henry challenged any one to a game at all-fours, and ultimately Henry and the complainant played against Hurst and an other; subsequently the complainant and Saqui played against Hurst and another. During the second game the complainant drank a glass of whisky and became uncon scious. He believed he was drugged, and did not know anything that took place afterwards. When he went to the house ho had £4l—when he recovered his conscious ness at night he felt very ill, but was sober, and found shut he had lost all his money.—ln answer to Mr Roberts, who was for the defendant, complainant said that he never kept a gamblingehouse ; he might have lost a dollar at a sitting at euchre, an American card game—he had lost 50 dollars in betting at roulette, on a race course. He had visited gaming houses. He had attended at a mock auction, in Manchester, to pass the time. He could not have been made drunk by the glass of whisky—a pint of whisky would take no effect upon him, as ho had been in the habit of drinking it since he was a boy. In America he had drunk a pint of whisky before breakfast, and then been sober. He lived upon the interest of the money he had saved.—lnspector Taylor, of the detective police, said he went with Inspector Buckley and corn plainant to the defendant, who was told that the complaint against him was that he had done complainant out of £ll, and had drugged him. Hurst merely said, "Well, what about it."—Josian Saqui, an auctioneer, said, after the four-handed games at Hurst's, the latter Bug. gated to complainant that they should have a game to themselves, and complainant was so stupified by drink, that notwithstanding witness's caution he continued playing. They bet SI on the cut, and Kelly generally cut a king or a ten whereas Hurst generally out an ace, and won. Hurst then said that they should play for V, and when corn- plainant placed that amount down, Hurst asked to make it £3, then Xi, and then £5, for which they played, and Hurst won. Witness at one time asked where the aces were as he had not seen them lately, and then took tho pack, and counting them, found there were only 48 cards. He asked defendant if he considered it fair to play with a man who was almost insensible with 48 cards. Defendant told him to mind his own business. A new pack was called for, and they then played for £lO a game. At last, when complainant had lost all his money witness took him home. In cross-examination, witness admitted that he conducted a mock auction. Hurst was the winner throughout except of one trifling game. The play was finished about six o'clock. Hyman Mysell, a tra veller, living in Miller's-lane, said he was at Hurst's, but ;he waiter would not allow anybody to stand at -the table , When it was Hurst's deal he would keep six cards in his hand, which after the pack was shuffled and cut, he put on the top of the pack and dealt them. After complainant and Saqui left, witness said he thought be was entitled to a little of the robbery and he was given a glass of lici;orT The defence was that the complainant was a free agent with his money, and that there was no evidence of the drugging, or it, was asked how was it no one else was drugged, but the man who lost the money. Complainant lost his money as money was lost, without any unfair dealing on the part of the defendant.—William Brown, a pugilist, William Frost, a warehouseman, who had been tried upon the complaint of the defendant for stealing lead and acquitted ; James Coyne, of Wolverhampton, who had come to Manchester for a sparring benefit, and Chris topher Colman, a warehouseman of Tib-street, who assisted at the sparring benefit were examined for the defendant. They said that the complainant exhibited en the occasion no appearance of having been drugged, and that the play was fair, Mr C. J.. 8. Walker said the magistrates did not hink it would be of any use to send the case before a jury, but they would fine Hurst £5 for allowing gambling in his house, and would desire the police to represent his case to the magistrates on the licensing day, SHIPPING-THIS DAY, LONDON, Aug. 3.—Wind this day at noon—South- Westerly; moderate breeze and fine weather, but rather cloudy.

THE YELVERTON CASE.—A telegram having reached Belleisle on Thursday evening, announcing that the decision on the celebrated Yelverton case had been given in favour of the Hon. Major Yelverton, the people of the locality erected an eno: mous bonfire to express their pleasure at the good news conveyed to Lord Avonmore's family, who are much respected and liked in the neigh bourhood. His lordship, who was accompanied by General Lyons, Mrs Lyons, and several other ladies, came out and thanked the people heartily for this token of their good will towards himself and his family. The tremendous cheering which greeted these remarks made the welkin riz.g, and long life and good health were invoked on his lordship and every member of his family, individually and collectively. When the cheering had somewhat subsided, General Lyons, iu a very appropriate speech, returned thanks for the warmth of feeling manifested by the people, and the true judgment and good taste which were displayed in expressing it. The trial which had just been brought to such a happy issue for Lord Avonmore's family was not one in which a hasty decision had been given. No ; every fea ture and circumstance of that extraordinary case had been sifted to the very bottom by the wisest heads of the three kingdoms. For four long years the eyes of the civilised world had been looking on it with interest, and, now that judgment had been given, it could not be said by any that that judgment was not a righteous one, and he felt assured that it was one which met the approval of every Irishman whose heart was in the right place. The general, who was repeatedly interrupted by deafening cheers, con cluded his address by wishing health and happiness to all assembled. Dancing was then begun to the strains of bagpipe, and all joined the merry ring, which was kept up with spirit till after midnight, General Lyons and the ladies mixing freely with the people. Refreshments were supplied by order of Lord Avonmore.—/Venagh, Guardian. NEW ACT ON THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS.

Commander Dyer, was lying off Rothesay, she from some unaccountable cause sprung a leak, the water gaining so rapidly on the pumps as to nearly extinguish the fires and render the engines useless.

For all descriptions the trade was quiet on same terms. Malt changed kande to a moderate extent, at about pre vious rates, Oats, the supply of which was tolerably large, met a slow sale, at late prices.

ACCIDENT AT THE LUDGATE-lIILL VIADUCT.— Yesterday considerab:e sensation was created in the neighbourhood of Ludgate-hill, in consequence of a most frightful accident, which it is feared will terminate with loss of life. The workmen were raising an enormous iron girder, sixty-sight feet in length, and weighing fourteen tons. When about twelve feet high, the chain of the crab by which it was being hoisted snapped in three places, and fell with a great crash, the workmen flying in all directions. One man, named Jones, jumped ofi into the road from the top of the girder. The centre lodged on some thick piles of timber at the bass of the derrick. The ere they other end rested on the kerb, on the south side, where the which ehhuaurnenewrpdds oeai men were at work. As soon as possible Sergeant Hurst and Sergeant Trim, of the City police, with a body of con• stables, rescued James Peach, aged 50 years, with a frac.. tured skull; Samuel Coppoak, aged 44 . years ; J ohn Ryall, all severely injured.

The wounds on the head having been dressed and proper stimulants administered, the poor creature became some what conscious, and gave to the medical men and Inspector Allen the following particulars cf the affair :—About half past 4 o'clock in the afternoon her husband came to her and asked for some money, which she refused to give him, when he took up a chopper which was in the room, and struck her on the head, knocking her down and rendering her insensible.
