No bullion operations were reported at the Bank Yesterday. The Committee of the Stock E • change have appointed Thursday next a special settling day in the shares of the Anglo-Egyptian Bank for trans, actions entered into on and after August 6, Fut not to be marked at present in the official lists. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets daring the last few days has continued ther dull; sugar, however, has maintained pre vious rates, while superior descriptions of coffee have been in demand at full prices. In rice, cecos, fruit, and spices there has been little change of im portance; but considerable excitement has prevailed in the Tallow Market owing to speculative dealings for forward delivery. The efficial statement relating to the trade and commerce of the United Kingdom for the past seven months up to 31st July have just been pub lshed, from which it appears that the total de clared value of the exports during that period amounted to £92,441,950 against 75,663,037 in the like period of 1863, showing an increase of £16,778,913. The chief increase has been in coals and calm, cotton manufactures, cotton yarn, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares and cutlery, linen manufacture, woollen and 'worsted manufactures, sheep and lambs' wool. The imports have been larger as regards live ani mals, raw cotton, flax, provisions, quicksilver, and Sheep and lambs wool, flour, brandy, tobacco, and wine, but smaller in raw silk, tallow, cocoa, coffee, corn, pepper, and sugar. The shipping accounts for the same period show an increase of 136,962 tons employed in the foreign trade for the entries Inwards, as also of 162,277 tons for the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade during the above period 23,564 tons more were employed than in the corresponding period of the previous year for the entries inwards, and 82,525 tons for the clearances outwards. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cents. were 66t. 30c. The English Stock Market has been subjected to severe depression to-day consequent upon the few dealings which have taken place. The Funds re ceded 4 per cent. soon atter the commencement of business, and Consols are 881 for money, and Hi for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 884 ; Exchequer Bills, 20s. dis.; India 5 per Cents., 103! 104; and Enfaced 4 per Cents., 92. . In the Foreign Market there is very little anima■ tion, and prices are tolerably firm, Turkish 6 per Cents,, 1862, are 70 I; do. Consolides, 50k ; can, ; do. New, 25-) 26k; Greek, 231 24i; Spanish Passive, 31 4 ; do. Certificates, 13) I; Portuguese, 471 k ; and the Confederate Loan, 78 79. The arrangement of the half -monthly account has been the principal business transacted in th© Rail- Way Sharo Market to day, and prices have not varied to any important extent. London, Chatham, and Dover have declined £l, and North Western and South Eastern each 55.; while Lancashire and Yorkshire have improved 55. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without material change. Bank and Miscellaneous shares are very dull, and bar e ly sustain former quotations. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

His Honour repeated his former remarks, and decided that a public company must appear before the court in a proper form. Upon this the Clerk at once instructed Mr Buchanan, wh3 enjoys an extensive and respectable practice in this Court, and the case being quickly proved, costs were allowed. JUDGMENT DEBr QUESTION.-LAWRENCE V: JONES. This was a commitment summons, and Mr Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, defendant being a corn meter of Tower-street. The defendant admitted that he earned £7O to DO per annum. Mr Buchanan informed the Court that the defendant had already been sent to prison for this debt, and he seemed determined not to pay this money. It was really a very great hardship on the plaintiff to be kept out of her money for so long a period, and perhaps the Court would protect her. His Honour pointed out to the defendant that ho could not do any good by going to Prison, and that unless ho made some arrangement with plaintiff ho would be sent to prison for the longest period set out by the act of Parlia ment,—Adjourned. COURT OF BA.NKRUPTCY. IN RE GOLDRING. This was a meeting for proof of debts and choice of assignees in the matter of W. H. Goldring, described as of Lombard-street, and Woburn-place, Russell-square, mer chant. Mr Phillips appeared in support of the petition, which had been filed by Messrs Oppenheimer and Co., Watling street, met chant, who are creditors for about £l,OOO. The bankrupt had traded extensively with the United States of America. The assignees were chosen, as it had been arranged that the proceedings should to carried on out of court. HONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK: The reduction that has lately taken place in the floating balances of bankers and others has mate rially changed the aspect of the money market, and disccuntErs evince less disposition to negotiate commercial securities without receiving a large marginal profit. The inquiry for accommodation continues moderately active, and the quotations for the best three months' bills have ranged from 72- per cent. SHARE MARKETS—This day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOC&S.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--This Day, SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before S. Joyce, Esq.) HIGHLY IMPORTANT TO PUBLIC COMPANIES. Two cases occurred this morning in which the law governing the legal transactions of public companies was positively laid down by the judge. In the first case the London General Omnibus Company sued a Mr. M'Evoy to recover damages. One of the company's managers attended, and his Honour asked where was the company P Manager . I appear on its behalf. lam not an attorney. The company generally employs an attorney, but this is a small case. His Honour—A public company can only appear under seal or by attorney. Do you appear under seal? Manager---No, but I can aeon get it. His Honour—The case must ba struck out. Plaintiffs are nousuited. In the szcond case, the London and South-lVestern Rail way Company v. Robson, a clerk attended to prove an ad mission of the debt. IN RE MORGAN. This bankrupt was described as of Charlton, &c., mer chant and shipper, and this meeting was held for choice of assignees. This bankruptcy was on the bankrupt's own petition, and his debts are considerable. He attributes his failure to that of Edward Yeoman's and Sons, of Great Mildred's Court, Poultry, and the delay in receiving balanced of accounts from Sydney and elsewhere. The debts aro about £9,000. The assets are not stated. Debts were proved to the amount of about £3,000, and Mr Waring, of Crown-court, Old Broad-street, solicitor, and also a creditor, was appointed assignees and solicitor to the estate. IN RE ROLLS. This bankrupt was described as a ship and insurance broker at Gresham House, and this was a meeting for choice of assignees. The debts are stated at between £3,000 and £4,000 ; and the bankruptcy is alleged to have been caused through a difference between partners. Mr Lindus, of Lewisham, was appointed assignee. IN RE CHAPPELL. This bankrupt was described as of Connaught-terrace, solicitor, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. The case is cf some interest, but was adjourned by con sent. Messrs Treherne and Co., of Aldermanbury, are the solicitors in the case. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, TATTERSALLT-LAST EVENING. Both settling and betting were very quiet this afternoon. Very little was got through in the former branch of busi ness, and as far as speculation on future events was con cerned the bulk of the transactions R ere confined to Master Richard for the St, Leger and Olmar for the Derby. For the former Blair Athol had decidedly the call of General Peel, and 10 to 1 would have been taken to money about The Miner, while John Scott's presumed representative, Baragah, was in demand at 13 to 1 after 1,000 t 0... 70 had been laid two or three times. Some sensation was created by the "posting" of a nice little knot ef "Welshers" under the following names, each of whom victimised a gallant captain at Ascot for the amount appended to his name : Last, £3OO ; J. Browne, £33 ; Joh ns on, £lO ; Wilson, £10; Maloney, alias Mellor, £10; C. J, Biasca (this sounds very like Belasco), £%O; Alien, alias H. Adams, £200; and Hume, £l73—in all £1,200. It is satisfactory, however, to those who would wish to further the ends of justice to know that this band of brolia.?rs is well known, and that when next they present tberoselv,6 1 . 21. adrni,sion to the ring their reception will be unpleasantly warm. The tone of :he niamet .n future events will be gathered from the sul joined list of closing prices:— Harvest operations throughout the .county of Sussex are now rapidly drawing to a close, and it is anticipated that in a few days longer, with a con tinuance of the present highly favourable weather, the whole of the crops will have been securely garnered. The hay crop wag scarcely an average one, owing to the long continuer; drought, and the price of this commodity is on the rise, with the prospett of still higher figures as winter approaches. The great bulk of the wheat crop has Pow been safely housed, and where thrashing has taken pled it has proved of excellent quality, having in sevs-ral instances produced 541 b per bushel, with a yield nf ten sacks per acre. On the whole, it is considered , that there will b' more than a full average crop of this particular grain. thr:ey has not been very extensively circulated in Sussex of late y ears, but that sown on the best lands is highly spoken or, and likely to turn out well. Oats are rather an even crop, those early sown promising well— whereas those put into the soil late are rather short in straw, thin, and of light quality. The quality of the potatoes generally is good, although the bulbs, owing to the want of moisture, are unusually small. The late rains have effected a wonderful im provement in cereals of all descriptions, which now look fresh and promising, although in some quar ters the rains have come too late to be of much ser- • vice. The prospects of she2p keep during the win ter are much more encouraging than they were a few weeks ago—and should genial weather be now experienced, with a mild autumn, ample provision may yet be obtained for the ensuing winter and spring—the earth, from thelong-continued drought, being in a condition to insure quick vegetation.

William Church, porter at the institution, said that the wife of the defendant was brought to the hospital yesterday morning in a state of fever, and admitted an in-patient. Yesterday afternoon defendant came to see his wife, and was intoxicated. He wont to the ward where she was lying and abused her, and the nurses put him out, and called witness, who after requesting him to go repeatedly, put him out three or four times, the defendant as often re turning. Defendant then seized him, and, throwing him down, hurt him very seriously. Defendant was then taken into custody. James Badman, 355 B, said that at 20 minutes past 4 yesterday afternoon ho was standing at, the Duke of 'Wel lington's statue, when he saw the defendant go up th hospital steps when complainant held out his hand to pre vent his further progress. Defendant them laid hold of him by each arm, and, twisting him round, threw him down, falling on him. Complainant was insensible, and in that state was carried into the hospital. He remained unconscious for some time. Defendant said he was very sorry. He had not intended to hurt tho man, but merely laid hold of him to prevent him falling. . . Mr Arnold—l am willing to suppose you did not intend to injure the porter, but I think the offence of going drunk to a hospital, disturbing the patients, and assaulting an official very disgraceful, and I shall commit you for II days to hard labour. THAMES. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COMMERCIAL TRA VELLER.—WiIIiam Vanse Feast, of Askendale, Yorkshire, commercial traveller, and aged 31, was brought before Mr Partridge, on a warrant granted by Mr Woolryoh in January last, charged with feloniously embezzling upwards of £lOO, which he had received for and on account of Messrs Denton and Jutsum, his employers, of Bow-com mon, Middlesex. Mr Muliens, of the firm of R. and N. S. Muliens, solici• tors, conducted the prosecution, and said the prisoner was apprehended at Liverpool by Daniel Smith, an officer of the Thames Police Court. He called Mr Alfred Sydney Jutsum, of New Broad-street, Bow common, who said he was an oil, grease, and varnish manufacturer. Ho had one partner. In the month of November, 1862, the prisoner was engaged by the firm as clerk and traveller in the country, and he signed an agree ment, dated Nov. 13, 1862. About the middle of August, 1863, the prisoner left London to proceed on the Leeds journey. It was part of his duty to remit to him a weekly report of the moneys he received on his journey, and was to remit his moneys within 24 hours after oollEction. About the 224 of August he received from the prisoner the report produced, marked B. It showed in favour of the firm a balance of £4 7s. On the sth of September, the prisoner sent him a report marked C, showing a balance due to the firm of £55 3s 61 In that report there was a sum of £2517s 6d stated t) have been received from W. Jonas Steward, living near Leeds. The prisoner did not return to the counting house of the firm after he left in the middle of August. Witness had since been in communication with his cus tomers. He had received the prisoner's receipt, now produced, for £l3 16s 2d, and dated September 9, 1863. It was signed, "For Denton and Jutsum, W. S. Feast." He had never received the money. The prisoner ac counted for it on the last day of September, 1863, but never paid it. Ho had not seen prisoner or received any remittance of money since the 12th, except cash £2O, re mitted in half notes. In cross-examination by the prisoner—Mr Jutsum said, I am not the principal partner iu the firm. The principal partner is Charles Joseph Denton. We trade as Denton and Jutsum. You have been in my service as traveller, on and off, nine or ten years. I gave you notice to leave our service on September 24, 1863, and the notice expired at the end of tho week. I did not telegraph to you to come to London. I wrote to you on August 31, and also on Sep tember 16 and 17. You did not come to our office, I did not see you. You wrote to Mr Denton to ask for a refe rence, not for a re-engagement. The prisoner—That is the reason I am prosecuted. Mr Mullins asked for a remand, and said the prisoner's defalcations amounted to £lOO. Mr Partridge remanded the prisoner until Tuesday next. MARKETS—This Day. HAY MARK.ZTS.

A rumour war very pre alert in the Metropolis this morning that a telegram had been received from New York announcing the capture of Muller, but we can positively contradict the story. No telegram of the nature described has been received by the police authorities, although they are daily in expectation of ene coming to hand. Letters have been received from Inspector Kerresy announcing his arrival at New York in advance of the Victoria. HARVEST PROSPECTS, SUSSEX. YORKSHIRE. In the North and East hidings during the past week the progress of harvest work has been rapid. There has been very little interruption from thl3 weather, only a truffitig shower or two having fallen. The temperature of the week has been low, with a keen north-easter blowing and frotsy nights, on Friday night, in low districts, even damaging the dahlias and vegetable marrows, &o. The crops during the week have not ripened much, and farmers, fearing rain, have mown them rather green in some cases. Wherever it has been practi cable the fields have been cleared, and a journey through the district now chows new wheat stacks more frequent than is generally supposed. As more acquaintance is being made by farmers with the actual character of the crops, there are very few of them who now grumble about the deficiency, but as a rule they admit the wheat to be an average crop. Barley, on all hands, is stated to be the best. Oats however are generally reported light. Potatoes are small, but little will be done among them till the corn harvest is out of the way. The turnips have made no progress, and the deficient crop is a great cause of anxiety upon sheep farms especially. One wold farmer has not an acre left out of 90—all arc killed by the drought. The pastures are so brown and burnt up that at a distance they can with diffi culty be distinguished from the corn atubblea. The want of water necessitates,leading from the rivers for stock, and new oats are being used as fodder for cattle in some places. The first fall of rain of any value to the root crops and grass lands was during Saturday night and Sunday, when very nice showers fell, and there is every indication of more. Rain to the pastures end roots would far more benefit the farmer than any temporary interruption to the her• vest would do him damage. At the time of writing the atmosphere is very still and moist for the first time for many weeks. Charing-Cross Railway Refreshment Rooms. One portion of the extensive pile of building for the Charing-cross Hotel is now so far completed as to bo ready for opening in a few weeks. It consists of a noble room on the ground floor in the Villiers-street front connecting with the railway station, and it is to be appropriated to refresh ment rooms. In connection with this department the di rectors entertain opinions which will be considered as heterodox by some other boards—they think that a refresh ment room at a railway station should be what its name implies, and not a mt. ekery and a delusion to railway tra vellers. We believe that the public will regard with no small favour this bold innovation upon a state of things which has already existed too long. It is strange that it should have required the experience of so many years to convince sensible men, as directors of railways are generally presumed to be, of the absurdity of a system which con demned travellers to the alternative of hunger or indigestion, and which was alike mischievous to the revenues of the companies, and to the health and comfort of travellers. All this, we are glad to say, is now to be changed ; brighter days are in store for the traveller on the South• Eastern, and let us hope that, their example followed by other lines, we may soon witness a complete reform in the matter of refreshment rooms. The experiment of supplying good, wholesome, and nutritious food and drink is about to be made at Charing-cross by Messrs. Spiers and Pond, who come to us from the Anti podes. These gentlemen, who were enterprising enough to engage the team of cricketers and took them out to Australia, who have been negotiating for some time with Mr Charles Dickens for a series of readings in the gold and wool producing colonies of Australia, and who, it is rumoured, have designs of a similar character upon either Mr Spurgeon or Tom Sayers, will not, we are assured, be found wanting in the enterprise neces sary for a railway refreshment room at Charing-cross. The same firm have, we believe, also entered into arrangements with the London, Chatham, and Dover Company for the supply of refreshments at all stations on their lino. The arrangements made are mutual in character, the companies receiving, instead of a fixed rent for the stations, a certain percentage of the gross receipts, thus giving to each party to the contract an interest in the extension of the business to be done. The contractors will endeavour to attract customers by the quality and price of their goods supplied, and the companies will assist by giving facilities for carry ing on the business.—Railteay News.

The Court has decided that as the Catholic Church imposes celibacy on the priests; that as conse quently a citizen who enters into holy orders engages never to marry, and that as it is on the faith of such engagement that the Church authorises him to exercise his ministry and to receive confessions, which he might abuse if he.had not laid aside all hope of ever again returning into the world, the officers of the etat-civil of the said communes were jus tified in refusing to comply with the application made to them by the Abbe; the plaintiff, therefore, is nonsuited and condemned to pay all the costs.—Galignanr, THE ENDOWMENT FUND OF THE CORPS OF COM MISSIONAIRES. —ln March last the captain an nounced that for this purpose a sum of £B,OOO was neces sary, although men of business allege that the institution is more than self-supporting. From March to August, the amount subscribed towards this £B,OOO, is less than £360, of which at least one-half must have been absorbed by the cost of advertisements in the Times, of xhich the captain's brother is the chief proprietor, and which has had a mono poly of the advertisements.—The Comet. THE GAME SEASON.—Partridge shooting com mences on Thursday next, Sept. 1, and there is every pro spect of good sport for the gunner. In consequence of the dry weather the season has been very favourable for hatching and rearing both pheasants and partridges. The latter are numerous and strong, and the former are alto plentiful and strong on the wing. Some covies in Wor cesterehire could fly well before the end of June. The great scarcity of cover, however, has made the birds un usually wild, and sportsmen will have to walk a good deal in order to make up a " bag." Hares and rabbits are plen tiful, the season being also favourable for their increase. 'The harvest is finished everywhere, so that there will be no interruption to the sport, LONDON GAZETTE--This Evening. At the Court at Windsor, the 27th day of August, 1861.

The following is the chief portion of the article of the New York Herald, published on the 13th inst., advocating a six months' armistice and the appointment of Federal commissions to proceed to Richmond with a view to arranging conditions of peace:—" In the present state of affairs, if we can do nothing more, it is all important to the safety of the country and the administration that we should place the leaders of the rebellion clearly in the wrong before their own people and the civilised. world, and the Government as clearly in the right before all the people of the loyal States in the fur• ther prosecution of this dreadful war. We can do this through a special embassy of three peace com missioners to Richmond, if we can do no more. We believe, however, that through a movement of this kind, comprehending an armistice of six months, and a convention of all the States, subject to such conditions and ratifications as may be hereafter agreed upon, we can secure a permanent peace upon the basis of the Union and the Constitu tion. Let us suppose, for instance, that Mr Lin. coin assuming this responsibility for the sake of peace and a 'decent respect for the opinions of man kind,' has detailed three peace commissioners to Richmond with these simple propositions :—First, for an armistice for six months; and, second, for a convention of all the States, to consist of one delegate from each Congressional district, and two additional delegates at large from each State ; and that said convention, thus constituted, shall meet, say in Baltimore, on the first Monday in December next, to consider the ways and means for peace— could anything, in any event, but the greatest ad. vantage result to the Union side of the house ? No. Rejected or accepted, the loyal States and the Government have everything to gain and nothing to lose in the undertaking. If Jefferson Davis, his Cabinet and Congress, accept the armistice end the convention, we shall still retain under the first our blockade, and all the forts and places wrested from the enemy as now held by our land and naval forces; and if the convention shall come to nothing we shall be in a position to resume the war with all, and more than all, the advantages which we now com mand, But we have great faith in the opinion that the representatives of the rebellious States, in being brought into familiar council with those of the loyal States, where they will be relieved of the despotic authority of Davis, will be so charmed with the suspension of the war that they will find a treaty of peace and reunion, satisfactory to the North and to the South, an easy achieve ment. It is probable that Davis may reject this convention ; it is possible that he may reject the armistice, or couple its acceptance with prosperous conditions of Southern independence ; but the overtures suggested will compel him to show his hand, and if he shall flatly refuse to listen to any propositions of peace, expect upon the basis of a Southern Confederacy, all doubts, all divisions, and all discords among the people of the loyal States will be at an end. The copperhead peace faction will be disarmed and powerless for furthermisebief, the North will be united, and divisions and dissen sions will break out in the South. Let it be mode to appear to those people, in their present crippled, exhausted, and desperate position, under Davis, that the Government does not seek their subjuga tion to an abolition idea, or their destruction, but their reclamation and salvation i❑ the Union, and President Lincoln will soon realise the immense advantages of this peace movement, It will servo the country and meke sere his re-election, accepted or rejected at Richmond ; but, short of some con cession to public opinion, he may now even. read the handwriting on the wail. Surely, after having been so far led astray and betrayed, as Mr. Lincoln has been, by such trcauhercus guides as Ben. Wade and Winter Davis, he must now be in a frame of mind to listen to good advice." FRENCII ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.—At the last sitting a paper was received from Dr Gaillouste, on the insufficiency of the means commonly employed against the bite of mad dogs and the sting of venomous reptiles. In his opinion, cupping effected on the wound is greatly to be preferred. The secretary of the Adademy, however, re marked that cupping had already been tried and a report been presented on the subject to the Academy,in which it was shown that in most cases the effect of This operation was only strepensi7e, that is, that it prevented the absorption of the virus until other therapeutic agents could be procured to destroy it. M. Chautard communicated certain results obtained by him in experimenting on currents of induction traversing rarified gasses. Oa examining the spectra pro duced in ench cases, when the gaseous matter was raised to a state of incandescence by making a current obtained from Ruhmkorft's machine pass through it, M. Chautard finds that the red and brilliant light emanating from a tube filled with hydrogen is gradually transformed into a livid greenish with tint; the spectrum, instead of presenting three magnifi cent band s,red, green,and violet respectively,as usual consists only of a very pale green band. The tube acquires no heat during the process. In nitrogen also various colours disap pear, the red and orande first, the violet last. In carbonic acid the bands are very numerous under the influence of an ordinary current, but if the tension of the circuit be dimi nished, the same absorption of the extreme shades takes place. M. des Essarts sent in a paper on a method of his for transmitting the oscillating power of the waves of the sea to certain apparatuses placed on the beach, which 112 ny he substituted for stearnengines in the various workshops of arsenals. NEUTRALISATION OF MILITARY HOSPITALS TN TIME OF \VAR.—The deliberations of the International Medical Conference at Gcne,va, have terminated in the con clusion of a convention in 10 articles, w hi c h oil m the neu tralisation of all military h osp i tals, of t h e v hole official medical staff, and of th e wounded.
