MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A firmer tone now pervades the general discount market, which is temporarily influenced by the necessary provision for the bills falling due to-mor row, the 4th of the month. Owing to the aug mented demand the public are now enabled to nego tiate their paper at the Bank of England on terms nearly as favourable as those required in other quarters. A further sum of £24,030 in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. The arrivals of specie announced to-day comprise £42.471 by the Asia, from New York, £150,074 by the Vlagdalena, from the Brazils. The amount of specie to be taken out by the Poonah, which leaves to-morrow for the East, is £15,074. The accounts from the manufacturing districts, for the past week, have been generally satisfactory. A fair amount of business has been done in both cloths and yarns at Manchester, while increased activity has prevailed in the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield. In the hosiery and lace department of Leicester and Nottingham E there has been more animation, while a more cheer ful tone has prevailed in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton.

MARK-LANE. In the country markets held on Saturday, old wheats met a dull inquiry at barely late rates, but new produce was taken off somewhat readily. All descriptions of spring corn, including flour, moved off slowly, and prices had a down • ward tendency. We learn from New York that the trade for wheat and flour was heavy at reduced quotations. On the Continent the demand for produce for export is far from active. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 8,191 quarters of wheat, 3,829 barley. 39,023 oats, 1,113 beans, 3,252 peas, 750 tares, 12,633 linseed, 3,320 oilseeds, 5,040 maze, 90 sundry seeds, 151 sacks and 2,294 barrels of flour. The supply of old English wheat on sale here to-day was very moderate,and the show of new produce was confined to a few samples, some of which were received in fine condition. The trade was very quiet both for r,..d and white qualities. Old wheats changed hands at last Monday's decline in the currency, and the transactions in ntw were at from 54s to 58s per quarter. With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. In all descriptions millers operated to limited extent, yet no quotable change took place in prices compared with Mon day last. There was a considerabls number of floating cargoes of grain on offer, and the demand ruled heavy at about previ ous quotations. The supply of barley, both English and foreign, was very moderate. All descriptions, however, met a slow sale, at late rates. A parcel of new French barley was on offer, for which 335., cost, freight, and insurance, was demanded. In malt, a limited business was transacted on former terms. The market was extensively supplied with oats, and the trade was in a sluggish state, about stationary prices. Beans, the supply of which was only moderate, moved off slowly at late rates. Peas ruled inactive at last Monday's currency. A parcel of new grey peas sold at 376 per quarter. The demand both for English and foreign flour ruled inactive, at previous quotations.

The subjects selected for reading are intended to illustrate the passions of the human mind. Miss Edith Heraud has already won for herself a name as an actress. Of Herr Krueger's powers as a reader we are not yet able to speak. A new comic opera, "The Abbot of St. Gallen,' , composed by F. H. Gunther, is making the rounds of Ger- man theatres. TRADE 'WITH THE BALTIC. —During the past two mcnths very extensive exports to the Baltic, espe cially to Cronstadt, have been made from the north-eastern ports, and still continue. The demand has been so consider • able that several old Tyne colliers have been taken out of the London trade and sent to the Baltic, hence freights to Lon don have been up to between 6s. 6d and 7s. per ton recently. The principal articles of export to Russia and the Baltic have been coals, coke, fire bricks, white lead, and in several instances chemicals.

SILENCE IN THE GALLERY !—BEFORE THE CURTAIN RISES !—The Journal de Geneve con tains the following from a Paris corre s p on d en t :—" ' L a Vi e de Cesar, par Louis Napoleon,' is printing at this moment. Thero can be no further doubt about it ; and I am in possesi sion of information from the Imperial printing office to the effect that a first impression, consisting of one hundred copies, has been struck off, in which the necessary altera tions are being made at this time. Workmen have been selected for this purpose who have been employed in the office for many years ; and they have been told that on the slightest indiscretion on their part they will lose their places. After the printing of each leaf in quarto every form is se cured with three chains and three locks, the keys of which M. Petitin, the director of the printing office, takes with him. As soon as the printing is completed, the sheets are taken into the emperor's cabinet; then the collaborateurs set to work correcting the press, or altering such passages as the emperor wishes to see redone. You see that measures are pretty well taken against any information reaching foreign papers —a subject of great dread with the author. The work, it is further said, will appear in a few months, and in two editions—one printed at the imperial printing-office, the other at Plon." Evemparamor MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST A FOREIGNER— DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT TO FEMALES.—George Thall mann, a Swiss waiter at a private hotel, No. 4, Albemarle street, was charged as follows Elizabeth Aulsebrook, a servant at the Royal Thames Yacht Club-house, but residing at the residence of the ser vants of the club, No. 11, Stafford-street, said :—On going to bed along with the other female servants on Friday night last I saw the prisoner on the roof of the house exactly op posite our bedroom window. At first, it being a moonlight night, we thought it was merely a shadow which had passed but on looking out of window saw that it was the prisoner' in a state of nudity, walking up and down and trying to attract our attention. On Saturday night, on going to bed, we saw the prisoner there again with a lighted candle in his hand. The prisoner was undressed. He exposed him self to us in a most indecent manner and then put out the light, but lit it again, at the same time doing all he could to attract our attention. Mr. Tyrwhitt—How many persons saw the prisoner's conduct ? The witness—Five female servants and some other per• sons in the house. Mr. Tyrwhitt-- Could he see you ? Witness—He could not help doing so, It was quite moonlight at the time. Wm. Goodcock, head waiter at the Royal Thames Yacht Club ; deposed—The house 11, Stafford-street, is the resi dence of the servants of the Club, and the house looks side ways to the back of Albemarle-street and Bond-street. On Friday night the female servants complained that a naked man had been crawling along the opposite parapet. I told them they must have had the nightmare, or that it was one of Professor Pepper's "ghosts "—(laughter) ;—but on the following night, on their again complaining, I went up and saw the prisoner, quite naked, standing on the edge of the parapet opposite the female servants' bedroom window, having at the time a lighted candle in his hand. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Could he see the females P Witness—He could not then, as they had put their light out. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Which way was he looking ? Witness—Towards the females' window. He then ran backwards and forwards along the parapet, and it is a won der that he did not fall and dash his brains out. His con duct was almost like that of a madman. Mr. Tyrwhitt —Could he be seen from the street ? Witness—No, sir ; he could not. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l am afraid it is a yard at the back of the house and not a public way. Witness—lt is a yard—a kitchen with a roof consider ably lower than the others being built over it. The parapet where the prisoner stood is about on a level with the ser vants' bedroom window. Some confirmatory evidence having been given by the female servant of the club, Mr. Albert, the interpreter, read over the evidence to the prisoner. Emil Fritsch, 115 C, said—On going into the servants' bedroom, I saw the prisoner sitting on the opposite roof. On my going to the roof where prisoner was he hid him self behind a stack of chimneys. The prisoner was naked, and had painted his face so as to make it appear that he had large black whiskers and a moustache. I found the prisoner's clothes and the °audio on a wall. I then took prisoner into custody, but he said nothing in answer to the charge. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was he quite naked? Fritsch—All but a very short shirt. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner—who reserved his defence—for trial. WESTMINSTER. A ERY HARD CASE AND SEVERE ,PUNISHMENT. — Daniel M'Carthy and John Holland, two respectable look ing young men, were charged with conveying tobacco into the Milbank Penitentiary contrary to the regulations. Denis Parr, chief warder of the Milbank Penitentiary, said that the tobacco had been brought into the prison that morning. The defendants were persons accompanying a van of wood which was taken into the artisan's yard. While the defendants were there M'Carthy was seen to throw the tobacco produced (about a quarter of an ounce) to a prisoner at work in the yard, and the tobacco was im mediately taken possession of. The prisoner to whom the tobacco was thrown came from the same quarter as the de fendants—Whitechapel—and were in all probability inti mate. Mr. Selfe—Did you say anything to the defendants ? Witness—Yes ; I spoke to M'Carthy, who admitted that he threw the tobacco to the prisoner, and said he did not see any harm in it. The defendants were both together when M'Carthy threw the tobacco. M'Carthy—l went to the prison weekly with some wood, and one of the prisoners in the yard asked me if I could give him a bit of tobacco, and I threw him a little bit about as much as would fill a pipe, and that is all, and I had no no tion that I was doing any wrong. Mr. Selfe—What have you to say, Holland ? Holland—l have nothing to say. I went with M'Carthy, not knowing that he was going to the prison. I never was there before. I know nothing about the prison or the tobacco. Dennis Parr—l have no doubt that the prisoner is well known to the defendants. _ ' M'Carthy—l know nothing of the prisoner, I can get a six years' good character. I merely threw the poor fellow a bit of tobacco, because he asked me for it. Holland—l know nothing whatever of the prisoner, and when I accompanied M'Carthy this morning I was ilot even aware he was going to the prison. Mr. Selfe—l have no discretion about this matter. lam obliged to enforce the law as I find it. Any person carry ing prohibited articles into the prison is liable to a penalty of 40s. I must, therefore, convict you, M`Carthy, in that amount. I cannot inflict a less fine. Holland is discharged. M'Carthy was removed to pay 405., or undergo a month's imprisonment. THAMES. The hearing of the night charges did not commence until 12 o'clock. The K division brought 28 prisoners to the court, and the H division 7. There are 4 prisoners under remand to be brought up after the night charges are die • posed of, and 12 summonses for hearing. This a compara tively light Monday for the Thames Police-court, but the calendar is likely to be swelled by the additions of other prisoners from the docks and other places in the course of the day, Mary Neale, an Irish woman, was brought up before Mr. Woolrych, charged with assaulting and wounding Chris , tiana Weller. _ - The parties were in the same house at No. 6, Charles street, Brick-lane, St. George-in-the-East. The prisoner is the landlady of the house, and having lost a saucer of little or no value, she went to Mrs. Weller's room to look for it in the absence of Mrs, Weller and her husband. On their return they quarrelled with the prisoner, who called Mr. Weller, a German, a foreign b----. Mrs. Wellerjoined in the quarrel, and the prisoner seized her by the hair of the head, beat her, and kicked her several times on the stomach and abdomen. Mrs. Weller was taken to the Lon don Hospital. _ _ Mr, James George King, house surgeon of the London Hospital, said Mra. Weller was brought there on Saturday evening at eight o'clock. She was suffering a good deal of pain in the region of the stomach and also on the abdomen. He had do doubt she had been severely kicked. The prisoner, a respectable woman who carried a fine child in her arms, eaid the Weller family had been living in the house since Thursday : and had been very troublesome. Mrs. Weller was the aggressor, and called her Irish, and she had many English witnesses to prov e what she said. The Germans in the district were very bad people. Mr. Woolry eh remanded the prisoner fora week. BACON'S WAR MAPS.—Messrs. Bacon, the pub lishers of American war m a p s, have just issued two maps which supply the information the public require at the present moment. One of the maps illustrates the line of General Lee's retreat from Gettysburg, and the other the defences of Charleston harbour, the Sebastopol of America. Readers of the American news will find these charts of the greatest service, as that which appears indistinct by de. scription becomes clear enough upon reference to a m ap of the particular place mentioned. NUTS TO CRACK.—The Historical Society, of U p per Bavaria h as been presented—for their annual dinner-- —with filber ts somewhat above 1,500 years old.

AUGUSTE NICOLAS , the auth or of gg Etudes Philosophiques sur le Christianisme," is preparing a refu tation of M. Renan's book, which Christ est le file de Dieu , " will be called "Jesus METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The show of foreign stock in our market to-day was mo derately extensive as to number but very deficient in qua lity. All breeds moved off heavily, and in some instances prices were a shade lower than last week. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up were very large, The general condition of the stock, however, was by no means first-rate. For all breeds the demand ruled heavy, and in some instances the cur rencies had a drooping tendency. The top figure for the best Scots and crosses was 4s 10d per 81bs. At the close of business a clearance was not effected. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,700 short-horns, &c. ; from other parts of England 900 various breeds ; from Scotland 31 See' s and crosses; and from Ireland 150 oxen and heifers. The supply of sheep was above an average, and the quality of most breeds was good. Prime Downs and half breds moved off slowly at b arel y stati onary prices — the ex treme quotation being 5s per 81bs; all o th er b ree d s were heavy, and in some instances the currencies gave way 2d per 81bs. Lambs were in moderate supply and heavy request at Thursday's decline of 4d per 81hs. Prices ranged from 5s to 6s per 81bs. The veal trade was heavy at barely late rates. In pigs very little was doing at previous quotations. Per Sib. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. Crse. &inf. beasts 3 4 3 8 Primecrs- woo l d o . Second quality do. 3 10 4 4 Pme. S' thdown do.

The public sales of colonial wool have gone off with less animation since our last report. This decrease in the de mand has been caused by a falling off in the export inquiry, but home buyers have operated to a full average extent. In some instances wool, suitable to export, has changed hands at a slight reduction from the opening rates. The amount of business doing in English wool by private contract is very moderate, nevertheless prices rule firm. The import last week amounted to 437 bales from Port Natal, 1,593 Port Philip, 325 Launceston, and 1,158 bales from New Zealand. SEEDS. New rapeseed moves off slowly at our quotations. Other . imak&ith SPORTING NOTES, The Brighton meeting will commence to-morrow. The Brighton Stakes is the most important event to be decided. There are only half-a-dozen good horses in the race, viz., Umpire, The Knave, Magnum Bonum, Bandage, Black down, and Jack o' Hearts. Umpire has the top weight, but I can see nothing to interfere with his success unless it be The Knave, and if Mr. Merry makes any demonstration in his favour I certainly should prefer his chance to any thing in rue race. For the Marine Plate, Dolphin or Cheerful will hold all the others safe. I shall refer to the remainder of the races to-morrow. A FRESH MAN. AQUATICS. lOGGEFFS COAT AND BADGE. The bequest of Mr. Tomas Doggett, of facetious me mory, of a coat and badge fora race six young watermen just out of their amongst apprentice ship, to which has been added minor arriour tslft ',,, y Sir Williana Jolliffe, and annually presented b the Fishmonger s ' Com p an y , is a " stock piece" in 3 the theatre of aquatics. The race was first insti tuted in 1715, and consequently lays claim to veneration. It has always produced first-class rowing men, and, doubtless, from the stamina neces sarily required for victory, will continue to do so ; but it lacks now, after nearly a century and a half, a great desideratum. The competitors should wear colours, particularly as they are unknown, from their previous obscurity, to the public; and there fore the general observer who may watch the race closely would not be left to conjecture the parti cular name of the man who may be most entitled to praise. The race, as usual, took place on Saturday, that being the Ist of August, and the distance was from Swan to Swan, i.e., from London -bridge to Chelsea. Thomas Young, Princes-stairs, .Rotherhithe, „ 1 Frederick Robert Russell, Bermondsey 2 John Egalton, Blackwall 3 Edward William Edwards, Tower 4 Henry Prince, Barkside 5 John Edward Mears, Deptford 6 The station, as usual, counted from the north ward—the side nearest Fishmongers' Hall on the Middlesex side of the river—and Prince was first, Mears second, Edwards third, Russell fourth, Young fifth, then the favourite, Egalton sixth. The Surrey side of the river is always accounted the best. The Bankside man was first at the start, and was very smart, followed by the Deptford man, Bermondsey next, then the winner, Edwards of the Tower, rowing last but one, and Egalton of Black well last of all. 'There were a great many changes after this ; first of all, Prince was deprived of his lead, then it fell to Egalton and Russell in turn, and finally Young, rowing his men down, ob tained the foremost position at Blackfriars. Pass ing under this bridge Egalton, Russell, and Young were all together, and it was hard to tell who led, but at length the Rotherhithe man showed clearly in front ; Edwards, the Tower man, and Russell of Bermondsey, disputing the second place. While they were doing this the Blackwall man came up (having fallen astern again), and very severe was the race till they had nearly reached Hungerford bridge, where Young led by a length, followed by Russell, Egalton next. From here to Lambeth they remained very close, although there were no changes, and, although they had rowed half the distance by this time, a sheet might have covered them, as the saying is ; but through Vauxhall-bridge a very per ceptible change occurred. Young led here by three lengths, Russell heading Egalton by about the same. Edwards, of the Tower, was next, then the Bankside man, Mears last; and although there was some good racing after this, their position never altered, and Young, increasing his lead, wo❑ by nearly 100 yards, Russell half that distance ahead of Egalton; the Tower man was fourth, and the other two some distance astern of him. The wager men, although they started after high water, saved the tide all the way up, and consequently the win ning time was very good, being a little over 37 minutes. LEANDER AND WESTMINSTER BOAT RACE. The time•honoured Leander Club, composed of University and other gentlemen, have for many years raced with the Westminster scholars in eight oared cutters, and this pleasurable annual of 1863 was presented on Saturday.

Mr. Wright was umpire. The race was started on the top of the tide. The West minster had the Middlesex station. The Leander went away with the lead, but the Westminster ap plied themselves hard to their work, and there was only about half a length between them at the Duke's Head. Immediately after this the lead was increased at a moment to a length, and stroke after stroke was taken up to the cricket ground without any varia tion, and so smart was the work in the Westminster boat that it was thought they would soon take a lead. They, however, kept too much on the Mid dlesex side, and then at the point had to come out, and fell right into the wake of their opponents, with a gap of about a length and a half between them. The rowing of the scholars was hardly in such form as we have seen; and when it is considered that there was not one in the boat above 18 years of age, it will be at once conceded they must have been very game and very good to have held so excellent a race with their senior and heavier opponents. Had they been a little better they might probably, by their excellent steerage after passing Craven, have changed the fortune of the day, for they shot the water by coming under the stern of their opponents at a better and earlier time than the Leander, and rowed so exceedingly well with the advantage so acquired, that, when they arrived at the Soapworks bridge, there was scarcely a length between the two boats. The steering of the Leander here was bad, and at Hammersmith - bridge there was still only a length between them, but aft er that it soon got to two or three lengths in favour of the LE/ander, 12m i n . ousec. at about which it finished. Time, SCULLERS' RACE FOR ,Dsu. There was also another race on Saturday—a scalier!: match for .£so—betwe en F. liilsby and E. May, the former a wat erman of Old Barge House, and the latter a landsman. ICilsby won in 21min, by four clear lengths 40sec., beating his opponent —=----- CRYSTAL PALACE. --The new station at Syden ham.hill, on the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail way, was opened for traffic on Saturday. It is close to the mouth of the tunnel which runs near to the north end of the Crystal Pal ace, an d will be found a great convenience of the neighbour to passengers from Brix ton, Stockwell7 Many and the hoo d of the Ele p hant and Castle. Queen's (Westminster) Volunteers, whose fete day it was, availed themselves of this route. On Wednesday a special perform ance wil t be given of all the principal music from Gounod's ~ Faust," sustained the parts being by Madlle, Titiens, Y ' &c., Signor Giuglini, Mr. Santley , with full band and c h o rus. Half-crown day, Saturday, Aug. I.—Admission on payment, 2,874 ; ditto by season tickets, 2,365--total 5,239. MAIL ►STEAMERS DUE FROM AMERICA THIS WEEK. —The following steamers are due at Liver pool this week with the mails from America, via., Jura, Edinburgh, and Persia. The Jura was to have left Quebec en the 25th ult., and may therefore be expected at London derry to-morrow morning (Tuesday) ; the Edinburgh, with dates from New York to the 25th, may be looked for at Queenstown on Wednesday; and the steamer Persia, from New York on the 29th ult., will no doubt turn up at Queenstown in the coarse of Friday next.

Looking into Basinghall street and seeing the solicitor or counsel for the opposing creditor bullying a notorious bankrupt, a writer in the Lon don Review suggests that the solicitor is the well-known Mr. Snap, a gentleman with the eyes of a pike, and the mouth of a pugilist ; and that the member of the upper branch of the profession is the unknown Mr. Slang, who looks uncommonly like a potboy who has borrowed his wig and gown from the Judge and Jury Club. SECOND EDITIO . SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK. THE PRINCIPALITIES. Advices just received from Bucharest give a rather alarming account of the internal affairs of the United Principalities. Prince Couza, harassed by the parties which are struggling around him, in clines to nothing less than proclaiming himself Dictator. This state things is all the more disquieting to the Porte, that it cannot, under present circumstances, hope for any effective inter vention of the Powers at Bucharest. The Powers for the present regard the affairs of the Danubian Principalities as of only secondary importance. THE GORDIAN KNOT. All reform must grow ; it cannot safely be made. To lecture a man upon the nastiness of chewing tobacco, while taking a pinch of snuff, seems to him unreasonable and impertinent. We in the Free States must treat the black as a man before t w re e a h t av h e im an a y s right the a t t o te a l s la . k lt is i S sth ve States is not to inconsistency which makes the South look upon our antislavery feeling as the simple arrogance of the pharisee, and indisposes it to g i ve t h at respectful attention to cur opinion which it would otherwise receive. The Southerner points to that unerring index of con tent and wellbeing, increase of population' as a proof beyond declamation o r assertion that th e ry black face is more happy in its s t ate of slave than in its condition of freedom. It p o i nts to the record of crime in the Free States, which shows the white race with a far larger average of criminality than the black race, and asks us if that condition is to be preferred which brings such results. It points to the legislature of States which exclude the free blacks from their soil, and asks why it should be subjected to that curse which other States so sedulously guard themselves from. II hat honest answer is there to such questions ? The idea of the Tribune is to make all the blacks of the United States American citizens, but is the notion practicable ? Before entering upon so vast an ex periment would it not be advisable i Cantotgetthe make the experiment upon a small scale State of New York to look upon the black as a man equally entitled and equally capable as the white to exercise the right of elf-government ? We very much doubt it. It will not do to say that thenegro is considered inferior in New York because his race is slave in the South. No white race would have remained slave at the South. That this is true can be seen from our treatment of the Indian. That race is a noble race, a far superior animal to the negro, and yet the common sense of this country sets them apart. Since the whites landed they have murdered and cheated the Indian eternally, and will do so until not a red skin remains. As the Indian cannot be white, he dies. He will not serve. You can as easily yoke a lion. But the basis'of the negro's mental characteristics is self .enjoyment, and con sequently he serves and finds not much aspiration beyond comfort. He does not long for liberty, except as synonymous with exception from stated toil. That the negro is capable of improvement, that in the course of time, by contact with the white, his physical nature and consequently his moral nature will be changed, is inevitable. When that change is effected his social condition and po litical status will be changed also. This, however, is the work of generations, and will be the result of natural laws as slow but as certain as those which govern the formation of coral islands in the sea. From not perceiving this great truth, from too eager aspirations that the good which genera tions are needed to effect be completed in their day, men are abolitionists, and have inoculated the people of the North with their unreason, There is slavery at the South, not because men there differ from men here, but because the South has an im mense black population, which it fears to keep in any other condition. It has seceded because it believed that the North attempted, through the agency of a common government, to compel the adoption by the South of its views upon the ques tion. In other words, it believes that it is vindi cating the great principle of self-government. With this belief it is idle to suppose that the war will be ended either by the taking of strongholds or the beating of armies alone. Such is the intense love of liberty in the American nature that all physical power will have to be completely crushed before opposition ceases. It is not the will of the South we have to subdue, but the convictions of evil which we have to dissipate.—New York TVorld. PONTEFRACT ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir, —Having seen Sir C. Head's speech at Pontefract in favour of free trade, &c., I am at a loss to know what he means, as he advocates the renewal of the monopoly of the Hudson's Bay Company and its presumed sovereignty ov er three.fourths of British America against the public interests. He is also the nominal chairman of the com pany, alio nomine. Sir Edmund wishes to support British shipping, if in earnest he can do so by exacting reciprocity from the United States. TRAVELLER. A communication from Stockholm of the 25th gives some details of the arrival of Prince Amadeus of Italy :—" The Prince has just landed here from Lubeck and alighted at the residence of the Marquis Thaliavarni, Italian Minister at the Court of Sweden. All the members of the Royal family being tempo rarily absent from the capital, Count Manaerstrom, - Minister of Foreign Affairs, waited on the Prince to deliver an autograph•re letter fromwtehl welcome King, which in h he desired to give L.? fami ly, which his Majesty e x p ressed his regret at being compelled to defer f or a few days ' u personally. While w a iti ng Tiniversity of Up sa l, as we ll foors thee s t o arrivalgo and yi as the naval wo rts o ft a h pDf the P r i nce pro , oval r . progress at the fortress of Carlscrona.,. Th e Court of Assizes of the Seine on Friday tried two commission agents, named Krieg and Verel, the former residing at Marseilles and the latter at Paris, both representatives of the firm of Nadiroff and Co., silkmer chants at Tiflis (Georgia), for forging and despatching two telegrams to Tiflis, on the 18th April last, with intent to injure the brothers Stepaun and Martiros Termykertit chiang. silkmerchants at Tiflis and Paris. It appeared from the evidence that on the 27th of April, Stepaun re ceived at Tiflis two telegrams from Paris, apparently from his brother Martiros. One of them was sent off at 10 am. on the 18th, and contained the following words Wool and cotton, much lower ; silk higher ; receiving two bales wool ; business very bad at pre sent." The other was couched as follows :—" This morn ing's eespatch annulled; await letter." On May 14, Mar tiros received a letter from his brother stating that these two despatches had greatly embarrassed him. Martiros at once endeavoured to discover the authors of them, and traced them to the prisoners, who had forwarded them to promote the interests of their principals, Nadiroff and Co., by keeping Termykertitchiang out of the market for a time. Krieg at once confessed that he had forwarded the first despatch to Verel in Paris by letter, requesting him to send it to Tiflis, and had been enabled to give it an appearance of reality by seeing the two bales of wool inscribed in a ship's manifest. Verel confirmed this statement, and added that having, after reflection, repented of the fraud he had practised, he sent off the second despatch the same day to prevent its doing any mischief. The prisoners both declared that they were not at first aware of the gravity of the act they had committed, and seemed very penitent. The counsel for the defence argued that their clients had not been guilty of forgery in the legal sense of the word, and denied that the brothers Termy kertitchiang had any claim for damages. The jury, taking that view of the case, brought in a verdict of not guilty, and the Court, in pronouncing their acquittal, said that the question of damages must be decided by a Civil Tribunal.
