This disaster is also attributed to transactions in cotton. _ Advic es f rom Paris allege that Messrs.

The terms to be charged are 1 per cent. above the bank rate, and -1 per cent. commission, making a total rate of 12 per cent. It appears that the differences due by Mr Byrne, the Liverpool stockbroker who has absconded to Australia, and whose failure was announced yester (lay, by an absurd telegram, for the sum of UOO,OOO, are now found to be about £lO,OOO.

A SILLY HOAX.—SJrne of the Yorkshire papers of Saturday last contained accounts of a " Curious Antiquarian Discovery at Driffield," in which the remains of mesozoic lira were curiously enough jumbled up with the workmanship of man and legends of the 15th century. The main portions of the narrative are sufficiently remarkable for reproduction. They are as follows :—" In excavating a chalky quarry belonging to Mr W.Clark several interesting fossil and antiquarian discoveries have at different times re cently been made. At the depth of 30ft, fossil bones, in cluding what has been described as a human hand, shells, sponges, and other marine and vegetable productions, have been found. . . . The most interesting object, how ever, which have been brought to light are the handiworks of man. While one of Mr Clark's workmen was employed breaking up the large pieces of chalk which had been dug; up from the quarry into smaller portions, for the purpose of being burnt into lime,he was somewhat startled on taking up one oi the pieces to find that it bore upon it a striking but rudely sculptured human face. This figure was found among the chalk which had come from a depth of 30 feet and corresponded in character and appearance with the chalk among which it was found. It presents the appear ance of age, and of having been in the earth for a great length of time. . . . This discovery was soon followed by a still more interesting relic being brought to light under the same circumstances, This article appears to have been a model for casting a fibula or brooch. It is neatly and clearly executed in chalk, and is circular, running off in a band or strap, ornamented with lozange-shaped figures. It is larger than a crown-piece, and in an indented or concave border is an inscription in antique characters. The words when written at length are, Jhesus Rex Judceorum mise • rere,' which may be rendered Jesus, King of the Jews, have mercy upon me.' There is no question about this being a genuine production of the period to which it belongs —about the middle of the 15th century." The incon gruity of the above statement, and the utter impossibility that any traces of man or his work should be contained in the chalk, one of the secondary rocks and a marine formation induced an inquiry at Deiffield on Monday last, for the pur pose of finding out, if possible, what really was the nature of these discoveries. At Driffield, after inspecting the quarry, which certainly presents a breastwork fully 30 feet high the whole of the three remarkable discoveries men tioned in the agave extracts were found to have beenmade by one man, a quarryman. This man was very willing to give information of the wonderful things he had found. The human hand, he asserts, came out of the solid rock ; but on close inquiry he admitted that it was jointed, and that on being handled the joints fell asunder. It became clear enough that the so-callel human hand was nothing more or less than one of the common ccrals found in the chalk, but had evidently been rather more digitate than is usual. In like manner, the only solution to be arrived at about the " fossil bones" was that the ordinary baculites and be lomnites of the chalk fossils had been so called. The human face, the man protested, cams out of a solid mass of chalk. This face was produced at the residence of the owner of the pit, and it is assuredly nothing more than a very bad attempt to carve a figurehead in the soft chalk by some workman who has practised sculpture with a pocket knife. The best solution is one offered by Mr Brown, of Driffield, a gentleman who has paid much attention to anti quarian matters in the locality, that this wonderful face has been carv e d by some amateur sculptor on the face of the rock, which had fallen in as the excavation had progressed. It was quite certain that, so far from being of vast age, it had n ever known a winter's frost. The " find," too, it ap peared, was Fonne months old. The chalk model is now held by Mr Brown, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1864. SHARE AIARKETB—Thi9 day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCh.S. Railways.

AN IRISHMAN AND THE PASTRY COOK.—Patrick Crawley, a determined Irishman, with his coat torn in many places, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with assaulting William Hogg. The complainant, a little man, said he was a pastry cook, of No. BG, Ratcliff Highway. At eight last night, continued the complainant, that there gentlemen came into my shop for a halfpenny " tatar." I sold him the " tatar," then he asked for a ha'porth of eels. I told him I could not let him have a ha'porth of eels, and with that he made use of foul language, and threatened me. I told him to leave my shop, and he would not, and struck me in the face and scratched it. Mr Paget—l see your face is scratched, bat that was not done with the fist?

Jt could not be in a worse position. Wilson—He struck hiss twice in my presence. The prisoner, in defence, said he went to Hogg's shop for his supper. He commenced with two eel pies, and de voured them in an instant. Thore were only two mouth fuls. He could have swallowed a hundred of them. Well, he thought to himself he would have a hapenny prater, but the prater was bad, and he asked for a haporth of eels instead. " We don't make any hap)rths of eels," says he, and tould him to leave his shop, Well then the pastrycook "fit " aim, and he " fit" the pastrycook. Mr Paget—ls the prisoner known ? Wilsoa—Yes, sir, he is. He was sentenced by Mr Woolrych to bix weeks' imprisonment for assaulting a man with a pair of scissors, and he has :since been imprisoned for 21 days for assaulting a police-constable.

NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. THURSDAY. The sport to-day was of a higher quality—it could not well be worse—than yesterday. Missionary, Tennyson, Siberia, Le Bearnais, and seven others tried their strength in the Seventeenth Triennial, and Lord Coventry's colt looked like the winner at the distance, but, showing the white feather when challenged by Furze Chat, was beaten cleverly. Sheridan, with a heavy commission on him, just managed to land his backers by a short head, thanks to Loates's riding, in the handicap across the flat; and the Whiteleg filly squandered her horses in the Two-Year- Old Sweepstakes, upsetting the great favourites, Herschel and Lady Egida—the former a very warm one—in the hollowest style. There was a good race for the Queen's Guineas over the severe Beacon Course between Evelina, and Oldminster, the latter appealing to have the best of it at the distance; but he was beaten on the mare getting up with him, and Daley landed the Baron's colcurs by a head. The " blue and yellow" was again borne in the van in the Rutland Stakes by Z , phyr, a very clever-looking scion of King Tom. The weather, which has been brilliant for the last few days, gave signs of breaking this afternoon, and the air on the heath was chilly.

The latter, in company with Armadillo, made the run ning, followed by the favourite on the lower ground, for a quarter of a mile, when Vabalathus went to the fore, and came on with a clear lead into the cords, where ho was joined by Balornock, the pair finishing a close race home, Lord Uxbridge's colt winning rather cleverly at last by a head. There were four lengths between second and third, Tailor was fourth, Gulnara fifth, Belle of the Vale sixth, and Deception last.

They ran in these positions to the cords, when Tennyson assumed the command, and came on in advance to half way down, when he was immediately headed by Furze Chat, who won very easily by a length.

Land of the West, in company with Corsica, the favourite, Merry Maid, and Hippolyta, got away in advance, the first named having a slight lead, which ho held to the Bushes hill, where he was beaten and was headed by Merry Maid, who came on with the running, having Sheridan on her left, with Wandering Minstrel, Hippolyta, and Hawkshaw lying up. Half way up the line Loat.s brought up Sheri dan, who caught Mr Payne's filly a few strides from the chair, and won a fiae race by a head ; a length divided the second and third; llippolyta was fourth, Hawkshaw fifth, Zeloo sixth, and Land of the West next, Nonpareil, who was outpaced from the start, trotted in last.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE SHOCKING CONDITION OF OMNIBUS HORSES.— ANOTHER CASE. — James Turner, driver of omnibus 7,390, belonging to the London General Omnibus Company, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt by the Reyal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with working two horses in an omnibus in a state totally unfit for working. The horses were brought to the front of the court for the magistrate's inspection, and it was apparent to everybody that they were only fit for knackers. Rutherford, one cf the officers of the Society, proved seeing defendant driving two horses attached to an omnibus near the end of the Tottenham-court-road. The defendant was flogging the poor animals to get them along, the omni bus being heavily laden. O❑ asking the defendant why he flogged the horses, he said if he did not do so they would stand still in the street. The officer then described the state of the horses as being in the most wretched coniition, and said they were both unfit for work. Mr Arthur Cherry, the G )vernment veterinary sur geon, described the horses as being in a worse state than those brought in front of the court a few days ago, bnd stating that they were both lame and old, and quite unfit for any kind of work. The defendant said the horses were given him to take out by an odd man, and if ho had seen their condition he would not have taken them out. Rutherford said the defendant had driven the horses from Paddington to London-bridge, and was on his way back again with a load when he was taken. Mr Tyrwhitt said in all these cases there was an " oda man," who was the cause of the horses being sent out. The proprietors of the horses were far worse than the drivers. Rutherford said that the horses had been whipped till they bled to make them go; the insides of their thighs having dry blood on them. Mr Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 20s, or a month, and ordered a summons to be taken out against the manager of the company—stating that he should consider if he should not icflict imprisonment in the next case. 97 100 LO) 102 105 102 108 109 The Leeds Bank Failure, Three petitions for the winding up of this company have b3en presented, and this morning the matter came on before Vice-Chancellor blindersley, at his private residence. One petition is from Mr Ward, an officer of the bank ; another from Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith, the London agents of the Lank ; and the third is from Mr C. Kemplay, of Leeds. Mr Warren said all the petitioners requested his Honour to Ss a day for the hearing. His Honour said seven days' no tice was required. As it was vacation, none of the creditors could do more than issue a writ. After some conversation the Vice-Chancellor fixed the 13th October for hearing the petition, which will take place at his Honour's private re sidence. The meeting of the Leeds Banking Company, fixed for Wednesday, at Leeds, has been looked forward to with ex tremo interest, The total liabilities were stated at the meet ing at £1,330,308, including unsecured creditors for £639,337. Other creditors hold security to the extent of £93,971. The liabilities on bills receivable bearing the en dorsement of the bank amount to no less than £1,990,991. Of this, £1,000,000 is estimated to rank against the bank, and, deducting this from £lOO,OOO, estimated as likely to be recovered from the drawers, &c., there appears to be a de ficiency of £60',000 ou the bill accounts. This of itself seems to involve a call of upwards of £BO per share upon the unfortunate shareholders. The total assets of the bank were stated at £3_6,635. The meeting decided that the company shall be wound up, and Mr C. Butler, of London, Mr W. Ledgard, of Eyres and Sons, L. eds, and Mr Win. Turquand, the accountant, of Messrs Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co., of London, were recommended as liqui dators. In the Times city article it is stated that about 250 per sons were present at the shareholders' meeting. At the meeting of creditors the accounts were rlicussed and ques tions asked, but no resolutions were adopted. The general iropres,ion among them seemed to be that the assets were overvalued and the liabilities under estimated, and that £1,900,000 will be required. At this meeting the number present was also about 250. At both meetings the conduct of Mr Greenland, the manager, was deservedly reprobated with great severity. Among the provincial failures announced during the past :ew days have been Messrs. Lightfoot and Sons, sugar refiners n „: rice millers, at Liverpool ; Mr Robert Baxen dell, of Manchesre:; corn merchant ; and Mr David Rams den, of Cottingley, neat" Bradford, spinner and manut ac - Wier. Messes. Walker, c o t es , -- ?rth, and Co., of Liverpool, have addressed a circular to their cretlitors, requesting for bearance until the result &lan have been ertained of the negotiations pending with regard to the Leetit; Banking Company. FAILURE AT BRADFORD.-. On Wednesday a meeting of the creditors of Mr David Ramsden, worsted spinner, of Bradford, was held in his counting-house in that town, Mr Joseph Oddy presiding, Mr Blackburn, accountant, read a copy of Mr Bamsden's stocktaking made in June last, which showed him to be solvent, and possessed of a small surplus. He then read a statement of his affairs brought forward to the present time, by which it appeared that Mr Ramsden's liabilities amount to £46,143, of which about £lB,OOO is owing to the Leeds Banking Company. The assets were estimated to realise £39,076. Mr Blackburn said the books had been admirably kept, and he had been I able to extract therefrom particulars showing the result of transactions during every separate year in which ho had been engaged in his present business. The creditors made various inquiries, which were satisfactorily answered by Mr Ramsden and the accountant. Mr Ramsden then with drew, and his affairs were discussed with freedom. A re solution was unanimously passed to the effect that the creditors were willing to accept from Mr Ramsden a com position of 158 in the pound on the amount of their respec tive debts, such composition to be paid by three instalments of 5s each, at three, six, and nine months each, provided the last instalment should bo satisfactorily guaranteed. Messrs, J. Oddy, T. Renton, Crabtree, and E. H. Ward were apponted a committee to c .nfer with Mr Ramsdell as to the course to be pursued until the composition arrange ments are fixed, and power was given to them to approve, on behalf of the creditors, persons who may be proposed as guarantee for the paymeut of the last instalment, The creditors present expressed their sympathy with Mrßams den, and a hope that he might be able to re-establish him self in business. DEATH OF SIR GEORGE FREDERICK EDMON STONE, K.C,B.—We have to record the death of Sir Geo. P. Edinraistone, who died on Saturday last, after a long illness, which was first engendered during his use t al service in India. The lamented gentleman was only 51 years of age. lle entered the civil service of the Hon. East India Company in 1830, we believe, after a flattering pro gress at Jiaileybury College. After a zealous and active discharge of his efficial duties, he was rewarded by the Viceroy by being appointed lieutenant-governor of the North-Western Provinces of Bengal, which appointment he was at length compelled t ,- ) relinquish from impaired health. Previously to that he was secretary to the Go vernment of India for the Foreign Department. He was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (Civil Division) lust year, in recognition of his great publio services. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 o'CLocK.

Of the vat ions phenomena that are loosely classed under the head of "spiritual manifestations," none have been more remarkable than those now exhibited by two gentle men named Davenport. In the United States they 11,1ve been celebrated for some years, but they have not been for more than a fortnight in London, and are as yet wholly unknown to the British public, with the exception of those professed connoisseurs of spiritualism who are on the watch for any new illustrations of their favourite creed. HMCO their seances hitherto have been strictly private. By whatever means they perform their marvels, they have this to recommend them, that their feats are altogether dissimilar in kind from those performed by their spiritual predecessors. Rapping tables are not among the articles of their furniture, nor do they undertake to spell the names of deceased friends--an operation, by the way, which is seldom performed without difficulty even by spirits of the most decidedly orthographical turn, Nor do they, as lam aware, make any attempt to anticipate coming events. Headless of the past, and regardless of the future, the Brothers Davenport are content to enliven present hours with excite ment of no ordinary power. I was present at a seance which took place in the course of the present week at the house of a private gentleman, whose party comprised several persons known in the literary and artistic work. Having arrived rather late, I missed acme of the earlier "experiments," which seem to have been ex tremely curious. I shall not state what I heard about them, as / do not choose to disseminate a knowledge of "spiritual" facts that do not fall within the sphere of my own personal observation. The recorder of events connected with .‘ spi ritual" manifestations has this disadvantage, that the most extreme acridity in h , s narrative will scarcely preserve him from the suspicion of being a believer. When I entered the room devoted to the "manifestations," I found it occupied by a number of persons who attentively listened to a strange diecorlant concert held within a ward robe placed at the end furthest from the door. When the sounds had ceased the wardrobe was opened, and three compartments were discovered, two of which were occupied by the Brothers Davenport, bound hand and foot with strong cords, like the most dangerous malefactors. Tho centre compartment held the musical instruments, and on each side of this sat the corded brothers. The ostcnsiblo theory is, that the Davenports, bound as they were, produced a combination of noises, compared to which the performanca of the most obtru-ive German band that ever awakened tim wrath of a Babbage is the harmony of the spheres. The cords are examined, the wardrobe is closed, the instruments are replaced, and presently, through an aperture in the centre door, a trumpet is hurled with violence. The ward robe is re-opened, and there are the Brothers Davenport corded as before. A change takes place in the manner of the performance. Hitherto the brothers have remained inearceratenn this box, while the audience are at liberty. They now leave the wardrobe and take their place in the middle of the room, where they are firmly bound to their chairs. The gentleman who officiates as their lecturer or spokesman even offers to drop sealing wax on the knots, and requests any one of the company to impress it with their own seal. On the evening of my visit this offer was not accepted, but the fault, if and, lay with the investigators. When the lights had been ex tinguished, and as we were all seated round the room with hands joined at the request of the lecturer, a most extraordi nary "manifestation" took place. The air was filed with the sound of instruments which we had seen laid upon a table, but which now seemed to be flying about the room, playing as they went, without the smallest respect to the heads of the visitors. Now a bell jingled close to your ear, now a guitar was struck immediately over your head, while every now and then a cold wind passed across the faces of the whole party. Sometimes a smart blow was ad ministered, sometimes the knee was patted by a mysterious hand,divers shrieks from the members of the company indicating the side on which the more tangibly " manifestations" had taken place. A candle having been lighted, the brothers were seen still bound to their chairs, while some of the in struments had dropped into the laps of the visitors. I my. self had received a blow on the face from a floating guitar, which drew enough blood to necessitate the employment of towel and sponge. A new experiment was now made, Darkness having re gained its supremacy, one of the brothers expressed a desire to be relieved of his coat. Returning light showed him in his shirt—sleeves, though his hands were still firmly bound behind his chair. It was now stated that he was prepared to put on the coat of any one of the company willing to "loan" that article of attire, and an assenting gentleman having been found, the coat, after a short interval of dai k ncess, was worn in proper fashion by a person for whom it had not been designed by the to lor. Finally the brothers desired a release, and one of the company, certainly not au accomplice, requested that the rope might fall into his lap. During the interval of darkness a rushing sound as of swiftly drawn cords was audible, and the roles reached tha required knees, after striking the face of the person in the next chair. Such are tha chief phenomena, which are, of course, re ferred by the opera'ors to spiritual agency. To sum up essential characteristics of the exhibition, it is suilicieut to state that the brothers, wh en not shut up in the wardrobe, are 'sound when the candles are alight, perform the it miracles in the dark, and on the return of light are found to be bound as before. The investigators into the means of operation have to ascertain whether the brothers are able to release themselves and resume their straitened condition during the intervals of darkness, and whether. even if this is practicable, they can, without assistance produce the eflats dem ibed.
