~~ MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE o'CLocE. A quieter demand is reported in discount circles, and the rates are a little easier. The St. Andrew from Quebec has brought £5,400. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week have generally been more satis factory. There has been an active demand for both cloths and yarns at Manchester, without, however, any change in prices. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has continued to show increased animation, while a seasonable business has been done in most descriptions of lace and hosiery of Nottingham and Leicester. In the hard ware districts, viz., at Birminght.m, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there is no particular change to report. _ _ The prospectus has appeared of the New Mans feld Copper and Silver Mining Company, with a capital of £lOO,OOO, in LlO shares. It appears that the directors have obtained the Mathilde mines, containing about 1,200 statute acres, in the Harz Mountains. The geological formation of the pro perty is precisely the same as the old Mansfeld, which has been worked so extensively and profitably for the laat 100 years, and the yield of which at present is about £B,OOO in silver and £16,000 in copper per week. The formation differs entirely from ordinary mines, being an actual deposit of copper schist, and it is known to exist only in the Mansfeld districts, at the foot of the Harz Moun tains, and New Brunswick, in British America. The existence of this mineral deposit in the New Mansfeld decline has been proved by competent engineers, who report very favourably regarding the prospects of the company. The directors of the Port Phillip and Colonial Gold Mining Company have received, by telegram, from Malta, the following advices in anticipation of the Australian mail, from their resident director, Mr. Bland, at Melbourne, giving the result of the month of April last : Quantity of quartz crushed, 3,210 tons; yield per ton, gold, 12 dwts. Receipts, £3,240; payments, £1,550; profit, £1,690; Re mittance, £2,000. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were heavy at 68f. 55c. Very little business has been transacted today in the market for the English Funds, and the quota tions have continued very firm, owing to harvest prospects, the tendency of the rates of discount, and other favourable considerations. Consols for transfer have been maintained at 921 a_ for transfer, and at 92a t for the account. There hae been a downward movement in several of the principal Foreign Securities, and business is less active. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, have receded to 67} 4; do.

The several defendants, Reginald Herbert, John Bir kett, Joseph Edward Saville, Robert Shawcross, Charles N`Dongall, and Charles Mott, were charged in a great number of counts with riot, and creating a breach of the peace at Cremorne-gardens. The whole of the day, up to the hour of our going to press, was occupied in the examination of witnesses for the defenee. The evidence given was in effect that the whole of defendants were well conducted persons, and not given to intoxication, and whully incapable of acting as the police had stated.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1863. MARKETS--This Day. MARK LANE. Owing to the probability of an early harvest, very little business was transacted in wheat in the leading country markets held on Saturday; and prices, in 801138 instances• favoured buyers to the extent of Is. per qr. Spring corn sold heavily, at drooping currencies, and flour commanded very little attention. We learn from New York that there was a fair export demand for flour, but wheat and maize met a dull inquiry. On the Continent, the corn trade is devoid of animation. The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last week, were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 8,102 quarters of wheat ; 4,282 barley ; 59 389 oats ; 062 beans; 1,760 peas; 13,793 linseed; 3,552 oilseeds; 2,719 maize; 830 sacks and 4,330 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat received fresh up to this morning's market, was very small. The transactions were chiefly cinflned to a few forced sales, at ls. per quarter beneath last Monday's currency; but some miller's operated to a limited extent to meet immediate wants, and where such transactions were effected previous quotations were fairly supported. There was a good supply of foreign wheat on the stands All descriptions were in limited request, and prices had a downward tendency. Floatiug cargoes of wheat and other grain moved off slowly at late rates, ~ ... , . The supply of home-grown barley on sale was very small, and the show of foreign qualities but moderate. However, all descriptions met a slow sale, but without leading to any change in the rates current last week. We have to report a dull trade for malt, on former terms. _ _. . With foreign oats the market was extensively supplied. No change took place in the value of good and fine corn, although the demand ruled inactive. Inferior produce was very dull, and sales were frequently effected at low rates. Beans, the supply of which was only moderato, changed hands slowly, at last Monday's currency. Peas were in moderate supply and slow request, at late rates. Both in English and foreign flour sales progressed slowly. :n some instances prices ruled slightly in favour of buyers.

The Vice-Chancellor—A perfect right, but immediately anything occurs to affect the children then I shall object to its being heard in public. There was nothing in the order to injure the poor lady. Mr. Malins—lf the charges made against here are un fGnnded, the lady ought to be restored to her p os iti on. I ask that she may receive the £7OO she had an undoubted right to, instead of the sum of £4OO. I also suggest that an investigation might be made into the charges made against her. That she might be appointed guardian to her chil dren, but that all questions relating to that subject should be decided when the case came on for hearing. That posi tive direction be given to enable the countess to see her dying daughter ; also that leave be given to file interroga tions, and that trustees be restrained from dealing with the £l,OOO otherwise than laid down on the deed. The Vice-Chancellor—lt was arranged that countess should have the month, viz., £66 13s. 4d., in advance, and the order touching the selection of guardians should be issued in the meantime. Mr. MalMs—The order was to bo issued after I had read and digested the affidavits that were put in. The Vice-Chanceilor Well ; have you done so ? Mr. Malins—l have read them, but they have been hard to digest. If I had been annihilated by those affidavits the whole thing would have been over on Saturday last. The Vice Chancellor—You were revived by them instead of annihilated. The leaned gentleman was then about making some fur ther reference to the children, when The Vice Chancellor said he would not allow it. But so far as the matter between he Countess and Lord Vernon was concerned, he would have nothing private. Mr. Bacon, for Lord Vernon, said the Countess was altogether unfit to have the guardship of the three daughters, the eldest of whom was 20 and the youngestl6. They were left by the mother in a totally unprotected state by their mother at Cairo. Immediately that circumstance became known to Lord Vernon he de spatched a trustworthy person to Cairo to supply the im mediate wants of the young ladies, and to take them to a place of safety. He provided them with clothes, and ultimately they were taken to Turin, where they wece at present. [The case was proceeding when we went to press.] POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH- STREE T. DISORDERLY CONDUCT IN REGENT •STREET.—M T. Hugh Brodie, 24, Princes-street, Cavendish-square, gentle man, and Mr. James Goodhall, 77, Albany-street, architect, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt by Inspector Bowles, of the C division, with being drunk and behaving in a dis orderly manner in Regent.street, at an early hour on Sun day morning. Sergeant Stephens, 11 C, and Inspector Bowles deposed to seeing the defendants going along Regent-street about two o'clock on Sunday morning scraping and knocking with a stick and umbrella at the shop shutters, and making such a noise that it could be heard half a mile off. Seeing the police coming they made off, but ran into the arms of the inspector, who, with the sergeant, took them into cus tody. Both defendants denied being drunk, and Sergeant Glass, the acting inspector who took the charge, was called, and he said they were both drunk. The defendants were fined 20s. or a month each. DARING STREET ROBBERY. —James Smith, a fellow who gave the address 9, Bedfordbury, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with robbing Mrs. Elizabeth Metzler, wife of Mr. Metzler, pianoforte maker and music publisher, of Great Marlborough-street, of a purse containing money. Mrs. Metzler wag crossing Regent-street on Saturday afternoon, when the prisoner made a snatch at her purse, which she was carrying in her hand, and made off with it, but an alarm being given the prisoner was pursued by Joseph Barker, a timekeeper, and secured and given into custody. The prisoner was remanded. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was rather a large supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market, in, for the most part, fair condition. From our own grazing districts. the arrival of beasts fresh up this morning was seasonably extensive as to num ber, and in good condition. Although the attendance of buyers was rather large, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, and, in some instances, prices gave way 2d per Sibs. However, a few prime Scots and crosses realised 5s per 81bs. At the close of business a clearance was not effected. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire comprised 2,400 shorthorns, ice ; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds ; from Scotland, 70 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 100 oxen and heifers. There was an unusually large supply of sheep in the pens. The quality of most breeds was good. The mutton trade was somewhat heavy, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. The highest figure for the best Downs was 5s per 81bs. Good and prime lambs moved off steadily, at full cur rencies. Otherwise, the larab trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. Prices' ranged from 6s 4d to 6s 4d per Blbs. We have to report a dull sale for calves, the supply of which was moderate, at Thursday's quotations. The pork trade was heavy.

Since we last wrote a full average business has been transacted in English wool, and previous quotations have been fully supported. In colonial qualities, hewever, very little has been done, owing to the near approach of the public sales, which will commence on the 16th inst. On Wednesday next, the 15th, Messrs.

There aro five meetings this week, viz., Liverpool, Abing don, Stamford, Hungerford, and Pontefract, and there will consequently be no lack of sport. The two first-named clash, as do the other three, and judging from the attrac tions advertised for Abingdon by Mr. Verrall, the new Clerk of the Course, it will doubtless prove a most formi dable antagonist to Aintree, which will derive its main sup port from the Northern school of sportsmen. The accept ances for the Liverpool Cup prove the excellence of the handicap, and the earnestness with which Mr. Topham has returned to the active discharge of his duties. Most of the top weights have paid forfeit, and the starters, by all ac counts, will commence with Joey Jones, and include The Knave, Fantail, Barchettina, Oakapple, and perhaps Catch-'em-Alive. That Joey Jones is a good horse I have no doubt ; but I question very much his being able to give away the weight to Barchettina and Oakapple, for over Aintree every ounce of weight tells. The Knave ran in Scotland so well when with Bst 51b he beat Caller Ou, 9st 71b, that he must now have a first-rate chance, although many think the distance a trifle too far for him. On paper Oakapple reads as well as anything, but there are many maintain that he was only third in the Ascot Stakes on sufferance ; and, if this be the case, I cannot think him good enough for the winner. Barchettina stayed so well as a two-yr-old, and has such staying blood in her veins, that she seems bred for this course. Lord Stamford has, according to report, backed her very freely, and, as he would not do so without a cause, I must follow him. Fan tail, which seems to be the Simon Pure of Mr. Perry, ran so well forward at York as to make me think she has a great chance now, for Carisbrook was sufficiently forward at Ascot to give the stable a correct idea of her chance, If Catch'em Alive is supported he will represent me alone but, as there are doubts about his starting, I shall en deavour to forestall the judge in his dcoision by placing them in the following order . FANTAIL BAR CHETTINA .... 2 OAK APPLE The Knowsley Stakes ought to be won by the Caliope colt, as he has a 71b allowance, and the Liverpool St. Leger by Borealis. Abingdon takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday with a very imposing bill of fare, all the races already closed hav ing received excellent entries. The race for the Trial Stakes, for which there are no fewer than 22 horses, will be a most exciting affair, should Umpire, Queen of Trumps, and Livingstone weet, but as the Queen will visit Aintree in preference, the battle must lie between the other pair, and I think Umpire deserving of the preference. Thirty eight horses are weighted for the Craven Handicap on the mile course, those best in being Manrico, Zeloo, and Cheer ful. The Berkshire Handicap has an acceptance of ten, of whom Flirtation and Turn of Luck are both penalised. Knutsford is also enaged at a weight ho ought to win with, but as he is likely to be reserved for Goodwood, Turn of Luck will, doubtless, repeat her success of last year. The Abingdon Stakes should be secured by Vacuna, who takes a 31b. allowance. My opinion at the present time is that Knutsford is the best investment for the Goodwood Stakes, as the owner has got his money all on. A FRESH MAN. TATTERSALL'S--SATURDAY.

LORD 'VERNON. This cause, which has attracted so much public interest, came before his honour this morning for hearing, on ad journed motion that the Countess de la Setta should have access to her children, the appointment of guardians, and that the trustees should be restrained from appropriating any part of the sum of £l,OOO secured to the Countess and her children, as set out in the deed. Mr. Mathis, Q.C., said, on the part of the Countess, he had to remind the court when the matter had been heard it was arranged that the countess should be paid at the rate of £4OO a-year, and that she should receive as an advance two months' instalments at the time he was invited by Mr. G. L. Auesell to read the affidavits that had been filed by the trustees affecting the character of the countess. Mr. Green, Q.C., f or t h e c hild r en, said — The young ladies objected to the affidavits being read. Mr. Malins—l don't intend to read them. Mr. Green—Before you go into court I must object on the part of the young ladies now verging into womanhood that the language of the bill should be put into their mouths. The bill was to have been amended by the " Infants" being struck out as plaintiffs and inserted as de fondants. The Vice-Chancellor —If I am to go into the matters of these affidavits I must hear them in private. Mr. Malins—l am not going into these affidavits. Mr, Bacon (who appeared fur Lord Vernon) objected to portions of the affidavits. The Vice-Chancellor I don't wonder, Mr. Bacon, that you should be in some difficulty. Mr. Malins—lf affidavits put in by the other side are true, then the countess would be a most improper person to be entrusted with the further care of the children, but in the affidavits the countess has pat in she distinctly denies the assertions made against her. Tho information embodied in the documents put forth by Lord Vernon had been picked up by a person occupying the position of a travelling courier, who had been despatched by his lord ship. It had been understood that the unfortunate lady should have been allowed to see her daughter at Turin, and she had goue to that place solely for that purpose, but according to a telegram he had received he found she had been denied that privilege, although the unfortunate young lady was said to bo at the point of death. Ho did there fore, hope, that his Honour would direct that the mother should see the dying child. By the terms of the agreement entered into by the parties, Lord Vernon engaged to pay the lady £l,OOO for the support of herself and children, but there was also a clause which directed that when either of the daughter's attained the age of 21,0 r married,there should be a sum of £lOO per annum for such child, and that the countess should receive the residue. There being now only three children, it was clear that the countess had a right to receive £7OO. It must be quite evident that the sum of £4OO as at present paid her, was totally inadequate to enable the lady to meet the increased expense entailed on bee by these proceedings, and therefore he should apply that the order which had been made a few days ago, stating that £4OO was to be the sum, should be augmented by the addition of other £3OO, making £7OO, to which the lady was clearly entitled under the terms of the deed. He did not think that in addition to the wrongs and sufferings the lady had undergone, Lord Vernon had the right to inflict the penalty of poverty upon her, or to place bar in each a position as to be totally unable to meet her engagements. Lord Vernon was rich and powerful, the countess poor and powerless and under these circumstances he hoped his Honour would grant his application. He was perfectly willing that a commissioner, not a travelling courier, bug a gentleman of some standing at the bar, should bo appointed to go to Cairo, and ascertain the truth or falsehood of the allega tions of the countess. Nothing surely could be fairer than that. The learned gentleman was about to enter into some explanation relative to the present position of the family of the countess, when Mr. Green objected. The Vice-Chancellor—All 1 have to do is to see that the helpless wards of this Court are protected, and that no in jury should be done them by their being dragged in some shape or other before the Court. Why was not the ar rangement that was come to the other day, and which seemed to be acceptable to all parties, not carried out ? Mr. Malins—The order was not drawn up, The Vice -Chancellor—I made the order with every consideration for the poor lady. What has since fanned the matter into flame ? Mr. Malins—l know of no flame. The Vice-Chancellor—Then what is all this about ? da. Matins—The l a dy denies theassatione in the WESTMINSTER. REFORMATORY INSTITUTIONS. -A respectable looking working man from the bister isle, solicited the magistrate's assistance. Applicant said he wished to procure the release of a female child from a convent where she was at present de tained, and had thought it best to see a magistrate on the subject. Mr. Selfe—Whereabout is the place at which you say she is detained ? Applicant—ln Bloomsbury. Mr. Selfe—lt is one of the reformatory or industria l schools for females. Applicant—Yes, your worship. Mr. Selfe—l have no power to interfere—a magistrate has no control in such matters. Persons are sent to these institutions in the ordinary way, and there have to remain for the appointed time. Applicant—But may not they be taken out if they are ill? Mr. Selfe—That is a matter for the consideration of the Secretary of State, to whom alone you can apply for any remission of the original order. _ _ _ Applicant—The little girl is my child, and I very much wish to get her out. At the time she was got in there I had no power to assist her, but things are altered now, and I wish to take her out. Mr. Selfe—Why ? Applicant—She is labouring under very bad health, and I don't see if I am able to take care of her and maintain her why she should be kept there a prisoner, and I wish to have her. Mr. Selfe—l must refer you to the Secretary of State ; who alone can order the liberation of the girl. THAMES. THE SHIPWRIGHT IN SEARCH OF HIS WlFE.—James Black, a shipwright, about 30 years of age, who was not quite sober, was the first of 40 night charges which the magistrate commenced hearing at 12 o'clock, after disposing of the applications. The prisoner held on to the dock, and looked as indignant as possible. Police-sergeant Bridgland, No. 39 K, said that he was in attendance at the Eastern Music-hall, Litnehouse, on Saturday night, when the prisoner, who was intoxicated and very noisy, presented himself, and wanted to go upstairs to the concert-room. He told the prisoner he could not be allowed to enter the concert-room, and must leave. The prisoner said his wife was in the concert-room, and wherever his wife was he had a right to be, and added, if you try and prevent me going up-stairs I'll knock your b-- head off. At the same time the prisoner made a blow at his face and missed him, but struck his hat, which fell off. He seized the prisoner, and quietly removed him from the building. The prisoner again put himself in a fighting attitude, and said " I'll smash you up unless you /et me pass, and again knocked his hat off He then took the prisoner into custody an I locked him up. The prisoner said he was in search of his wife, and hear ing that she was in the Eastern-hall he went there atter her. Mr. Woolrych—Why did you not go there sober ? The prisoner—l was vexed—very much vexed, and got drinking. The police sergeant seized me by the neck and nJarly si rangled me. _ _ _ Bridgland was recalled, and said be seized the prisoner by the arm and not by the neck. The prisoner —I went after my wife. Mr. Woolrych—You should keep your wife at home, I believe you have acted very badly to the officer, who has done his duty very properly in keeping a drunken man out of a house of public entertainment, and particularly out of a concert room. People who go to a place of amusement to enjoy themselves must be protected from the intrusion of drunkards and noisy characters. You are fined 10s., and in default of payment one week's imprisonment. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On ►Saturday a shocking accident occurred at No. 19, Broad-street-buildings, Broad street, City, by which a man named Thomas Freeman lost his life. It appears that the premises were being pulled down to make room for the works of the North London Railway. Deceased was standing on the top of a wall, when b) some means he fell headlong down, and was within a few inches of crushing police-constable 121, of the City police, in his fall. As it was he came on his head on the pavement, his brains were dashed out, and his ribs broken. He was removed to the hospital, when life was, of course, found to be extinct. The escape of the police constable was most miraculous, the body of deceased almost grazing him in the descent, UNPRECEDENTED OCCURRENCE.—A scene of great confusion occurred two days back at the cattle fair of Pizany (Charente). A sudden panic, the cause of which is unexplained, suddenly seized upon the whole of the horned cattle at the fair, and nearly 300 bullocks and cows, bellow ing with futy, rushed about, trampling under foot, men, women, and children, Twenty-eight persons were more or less seriously injured, one woman having her face badly torn and an eye forced out by a bullock's horn. On Fri - SUICIDE BY ANARTILLERY SERGEANT.-- nt George day morning, at an early hour, Sergean t a clerk at Black, of the Royal Artillery, and employed as his throat the clothing stores, committed suicide by cloonifield-road, with a razor, at his residence No. 27 : 3 ed had been very Plumstead.

The most extensive conflagration that has oc curred for a considerable time past at the west-end part of London commenced about ten o'clock yester day (Sunday) forenoon, and was entirely extin guished at five o'clock. The building in which the fire commenced was termed the Portland Bazaar and German Fair. It stood in Langham-place, Regent-street, and had another entrance in Great Portland-street, St. Marylebone. The building covered a space of ground nearly 1,000 feet square. It was only two floors high, but the property contained in the place was more tha❑ an ordinary ohserver would imagine. For instance, the Titian and other large pictures, to which so much praise has been awarded, were in one portion of the bazaar. The front entrance in Lang ham-place was rented by Mr. 11. M. Wnitaker, the well-known importer and exhibitor of foreign birds, insects, and reptiles, whose collection formed a great attraction of this favourite and fashionable lounge. The Bazaar, as most public places of amuse ment are, was built in a manner to afford the great est space. Rows of massive iron columr.s rose from the base, and upon the top of these, stretched along the immense width of the building, were cast-iron girders. Extending towards the top, and which formed the beautiful roof, were placed vertically another row of iron pillars, and upon them rested an equal number of iron girders, as in the floor below. Each available space in this large range of premises was fitted up at great expense with fancy shops and stalls, which had been presided over by 40 or 50 young females, all of whom have been thrown out of em ployment, and those who merely rented the counters or shops have been bereft of ail their property; and as far as at present can be ascertained not a single stall-keeper or exhibitor was insured for a penny. The front entrance, as before stated, was in the tenure of Mr. Whitaker, and in this compartment —the grand entry—were birds valued at over £2OO ; the foreign cabinets, insects rare in this country, &c., his own property, are roughly esti mated in value by that naturalist at over £6OO. Besides, he had left in his charge a celebrated talk ing cockatoo belonging to Lady Glentworth, which was over £lOO in value. Upon entering this part of the building the birds from all parts of the world were found either upon their perches or lying on their sides at the bottom of their cages dead, clearly indicating that they had died from suffocation. A number of lizards, which Mr. Whitaker stated were of great value, had upon the smoke entering their cages crawled under some hay, and by rolling them selves up in it managed to escape suffocation, and as the fire was being got under they appeared as lively as if nothing had happened. The discovery of this fearful fire appears to have been made at ten o'clock in the forenoon, This bazaar being surrounded by the houses in Mortimer street, Great Portland, and Little Ridinghouse street, it was feared that every house near would have been speedily levelled with the ground. In a very brief period the Marylebone parish engine at tended, as well as numerous others of the Landon Brigade, one from Hodges's distillery at Lambeth, and the two land steam engines, by Shand, Mason, and Co., that carried off the only double prize at the Crystal Palace last week. The fire-plugs of the West Middlesex Company having been drawn, a bountiful supply of water was obtained, and the land steam-engines being fully up at 100 lb. pressure to the square inch, they, as well as nearly a dozen manual-power machines, were called into operation. By this time the back portions of several houses in the surrounding streets were in flames. Mr. Inspector Coombes, of the D division of police, and Mr. Inspector Spencer, of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire, came up, and seeing the formidable aspect of the conflagration sent off for the assistance of the police from most parts of London, and fortunate it was that they did so, for thousands after thou sands of persons, some of that high class little used to bear the pressure of a London mob, instead of driving to church, lined the roadways in order to witness the progress of the flames. The two land steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co., and the hand-working engines had the hose from each so stretched round as to enable the fire men to attack the mass of flames at each point, for it should be stated that the fire had by that period penetrated the extensive premises of Mr. Green, in Langham-place, as well as the ladies' reading• rooms, and also those of Mr. Maurice in the same thorough. fare, and at the same time the extensive show rooms of Mr. Greene, dealer in antique furniture, buhl, and looking-glasses — No. 24 in Mortimer street—were likewise burning with the greatest impetuosity—looking-glasses, and mirrors, some as high as ordinary rooms, were flying asunder, pic tures were blazing, and cabinets of great cost were falling a prey to the fury of the fire. The water colour studio, which contained a most extensive collection of paintings, was also at the same time wrapped in flames, as well as a photographic gal lery at the top of the same establishment. After the lapse of about six hours the fire might be said to have done its work of desolation, but although no further mischief was apprehended there still remained a vast body of fire smouldering in the ruins. Of the grand bavaar all that can now be seen are the tottering external walls and a few of the iron pillars and girders which supported the THE FEMALE SCHOOL OF ART, The distribution of prizes to the successful stu dents belonging to the Female School of Art in connection with the Science and Art Department of the Committee of Council on Education, took place on Thursday afternoon at University College. The Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe presided and distributed the prizes, and on the platform were the Hon. Frederick Byng, Professor Westwacott, Pro fessor Donaldson, the Rev_ E. Bayley, &C. Tile theatre of the college was crowded by the students and their friends. _.., said The Chairman, in opening the preceecunron ,_ he highly appreciated the objects which the School of Art desired to secure.

(Applause.) He was glad of the steady progress it had made, and it would give him great satisfaction to hear that it was prosperin g to the satisfaction of its friends. The report was then read. It gave an encollrag in g account of the progress of the school, stating that the number attending was 110. As many as 30 medals were to be distributed, which was the highest number that by the rules could be earned. The report then olluded to the enlargement of the pre. mises of the school in Queen -square, and stated that the Government had been asked for a grant to ac complish that purpose. But even if this appeal was successful the grant would not suf fice for the completion of the works required ; and, therefore, it was hoped that public subscriptions would be given. The cards, certificates, medals, medallion s, and books were then presented, and the proceedings were closed with the customary votes of thanks to the chairman. Extraordinary Ca Be- of Robbery. At the Salford hundred quartz is sessions, held at the New Bailey yesterday, John Fox, 32, wool sorter, was charged with stealing a large quantity of wearing apparel, of the value of about £5O, the property of Eliza Thorpe. The prosecutrix, who is a good looking young woman, between 27 and 28 years of age, stated that she is a dressmaker, and the daughter of a man holding a situation near Halifax, as the superintendent of some coonibing machines. She re sides at Cote Hill, Wailey,near Halifax. About six o'clock in the evening of the 30th January, which day she well re membered in consequence of her birthday being four days after, a man, who gave his name as John Henry Sutcliffe, but whose real name she afterwards found was Wm. Broad bent, came to Mr. Thorpe's house. He was well dressed, and the prosecutrix, who openee the door to him, told him in answer to his questions, that her father was not at home, and that he would not be for Borne time. He asked to be allowed to whit, and in the course of conversation he asked her whether she was engaged to be married She told him she was not, and he then asked her whether she wou:d en gage herself to him. She told him that she would consider about it. Her father came home at 9 o'clock, and the pri soner had some conversation with the family. In the course of conversation he said he was a woollen manufacturer, at Sowerby Bridge, and as he had heard that Mr. Thorpe had soanid known snu e experience in the b us i ness h e o ff ere d hi m a situation in hi s mill as foreman. He spoke to Mr. Thope as if be h not kno ve .n him. m some time, h and t Mr.d 4 Thorpe orpe said he did meanng'agenesal I know you very well. lam i n want of a nearer an for 'd3o u y beingu.

Ho told her tol h when that he did not think s h e wou l d object to told r m that he was she became acquainted with him. He also having some new machinery put up i n his mill, l ili a mc nd f.e t r ha tw t if e came and her father came with him he should not want months. On the following day the prison er a walked out with the prosccutrix,after which he was nacknow ledged as her suitor by the family. About three weeks sub sequent to this she accompanied him to the shops of several machinists at Bradford, and later in the day he took her to the prisoner's house in Manchester-road, in the same town, where she saw the prisoner and his wife. She as k e d Mrs. Fox whether she knew Broadbent, and she stated that his name was Sutcliffe, which was the name that both Fox and his wife called him by. In the week previous to this visit to Bradford, Broadbent told her that he wanted some money to pay wages, as his brother was gone to London, and she lent him £l2, which sum he pro mised to return on the following day, but she had never been repaid the money. On the 10th March, which day she well recollected, as it was the day on which the Prince of Wales was married, she was at the prisoner's house, and Broadbent then told Mrs. Fox that he was going to marry Miss Thorpe. Mrs. Fox said she had known Miss Thorpe for some years, and she knew that she would make a good wife, therefore she hoped that Broadbent would treat her well. It was managed that they should be married on the 28th March at Liverpool, prior to their sailing for America. The prisoner said he was going to America also, and that he had paid £7 for his fare. Broadbent said he had already paid £24 for his fare and Miss Thorpe's. On the 21st March the prosecutrix left her home with Broad bent, and was accompanied a short dieter ce by her sister. Fox was in company with them, and when the tickets were taken Miss Thorpe heard both the prisoner and Broadbent ask for tickets f , ir Liverpool. When they arrived at Rochdale station Broadbent got out, and M , ss Thorpe and the prisoner followed hint. They said they wished to see some friends before they sailed. They went to a beerhouse kept by Edward Butterworth, and the pri soner and Broadbent brought Miss Thorpe's box with them. Previous to her leaving home Broadbent had desired her to put all her best clothes in her box; and this she did besides several articles of jewellery and £9 in money. They lived together as man and wife at Rochdale, until the 25th, when they visited Manchester, and stopped at the Bridge Tavern, where Miss Thorpe's box was also taken. On the 27th March, at nine o'clock in the mc ruing, Broadbent went out, and, as he did not come back by twelve o'clock, Miss Thorpe became uneasy, and started to walk to Rochdale. At that time she had only 3s. in her pocket, and Broadbent did not know that she had a halfpenny. When she got to Roch dale at half-past five o'clock, she could not find Broadbent; and, being in a state of pregnancy, and being afraid to go home, she went to several drapers' shops and stole articles from each shop, with the avowed intention of being apprehended and imprisoned. She was given into custody at one shop where she was detected, and en being brought before the magistrates at Rochdale she pleaded guilty, and was committed for two months. After she was sentenced she communicated with her father, and on her liberation a warrant was obtained for the apprehension of Fox and Broadbent. Then it was ascertained that the latter, who ie a married teen, was already in gaol for some swin dling transaction, and Fox, on being apprehended on June 3, was charged with stealing the girl's clothes. He said he had pledged some of them, and had caused the remainder to be pledged at the request of Broadbent, and the woman who he believed to be his wife. He took the policeman who apprehended him to John Robinshaw's beershop, the Oddfellows' Arnie, Oldham-road, Rochdale, where he had left Miss Thorp's box, and a few articles of women's under clothing. The fact of the goods having been pawned under the direction of the prisoner was proved. Mr. Ernest Jones, who appeared for the prisoner, cross-examined the prosecu trix at great length. In reply to him she stated that sho worked for goad families, and that she had saved the money which she took with her on her unfortunate journey, as she had always been very carefal. She also stated that she had been aSunday-school teaceer,and was regular in her attend ance at church.—Mr. Jones, for the defence, said the girl's story showed that she was a very giddy girl. There wits undoubtedly an unmitigated scoundrel named Broadbent in the case, who had deceived the prosecutrix, and it was more t han probable that he had also deceived the prisoner, whom he had induced to pledge these articles. He also pretended that when the tickets were taken for Liverpool the prisoner did not know for what place they were taken, and that he did not hear what was said.—Chairman (Mr. Allred Milne), in summing up, said he congratulated the jury on having arrived at nearly ihe end of this extra?rsdintoaryrecaadseo;vebrutthhe should cons ider it his duty to alle parti consul for the prosecun n a L case Hi gg in, the learned w hole of the evid ence to them.

The case for the prosecution was that t h e prisoner andßroadbent had been guilty of a most wicked conspiracy to rob the girl. The case for the defence was that the prisoner was the dupe of Broadbent, and although he might have acted immorally, he was not aware t eat he was robbing the young woman when he was dealing with the things, as undoubtedly he • did deal with them. The young woman had been i mpr i sone d for the theft comm i tte d ,. according to her statement, while she was distracted and he very much doubted w h e th er, if s h e h a d to ld the whole of her story when she was before the magistrates, they would have convicted her. But it seemed that she couldnotthen tell tell her affecting story. It had been remarked by the learned counsel for the defence thatshould it was extraordinary that she have engaged herself to Broadbent on the second y day of se e i ng hi m, b ut it was only fair air to say in the position o f the of these parties we not so that eldi personscatein were matters of this so r t as persona of superior a ucation. The Chairman then read over ihe whole of the evidence, after which the jury,without a moment's deliberation, found the prisoner guilty. The Chairman in passing sentence said the prisoner had been found guilty of as disgraceful an offence as had ever come before an open court, and he thought there was no one who bad heard the case who had any feeling in his breast but would think that the offence was one of the most scandalous that could be committed. The other man, Broadbent, had acted in a scandalous man ner, but ho (the Chairman) did not think the prisoner was a bit better than he was. Broadbent had, at all events, been actuated by a beastly passion, and the prisoner had without any excuse pandered to his base propensities, robbing the poor girl in a most heartless manner. There was no doubt about the prisoner's guilt, and every man in the court must be convinced of the correct judgment of the jury. The offence was a most serious one, and if the court could have passed a heavier sentence tkey would have done so. He then sentenced the prisoner to three years' penal servitude. This concluded the business of the session. The }rice of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about per milk pm, and the short exchange on London is 25.224 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of f. 3 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2-10 the l er cent. dearer in London than in Faris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per .£1 sterling. standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, rather more than 3-lot ha per cent. dearer in London than in Ham burg The course of exchange at New York on London for bills :•.t 60 days' sight is 186 to 157 per cent., and the premium OU gold is about 43 per cent.
