The numerous and heavy payments that have to be made by the end of the quarter and also on the 4th of the month, create a good demand for Monetary accommodation, and as the prices charged by the brokers is, in most instances, the same as the Linciai minimum of the Bank of England, the author.ties continue to receive a large number of applications for assistance. About 10,000 sovereigns were taken out of the Bank yesterday for shipment to Oporto. The return issued from the Bank of England is not so favourable 53 most parties had ina.gined. The other securities have been augmented, while the bullion shows a small falling off. Subjoined are the particulars Active Circulation .. Decrease ..

We, therefore, notwithstanding the proffered assistance of our friends, in the interest of all concerned, have deemed it advisable to place our affairs in course of liquidation, and have called in Messrs Coleman, Turquand, Young, and Co. to take charge of our books. " The result of our liquidation will necessarily depend on tae careful realisation of our estate. Requesting your kind ludulgenee and co-operation, "We are, &3 , " AND CO. Advic es f rom Vienna mention OGLE the failure " of Messrs. I Mohr and Son, an old and respectable firm, with liabilities for £120,000, of which some small proportion will fall in Liverpool and London, This disaster is also attributed to transactions in cotton. Advices from Paris allege that Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have renewed for three months the loan of £2,000,000 which they recently granted to Spain at the instance of Senor Salaverria. The terms to be charged are 1 per cent, above the bank r ate, and 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 day, by an absurd •telegram, for the sum of £600,000, are now found to be about £lO,OOO. He had for some time pursued a reckless course. At the adjourned meeting to-day of the creditors of Messrs. Newby, Carson, and Co. it was agreed to wind up under inspection. The assets since the last meeting have decreased £31,000, owing to the fall in cotton, &c. Two O'CLOCK. A.t the Paris Bourse this day, according to Iteutens telegram, the 3 per Cent.

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 Royal 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 :he 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, Tne defendant was flogging the poor animals to get them along, the omni bus being heavily laden. On 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 con lition, and said they were both unfit for work. Mr Arthur Cherry, the arrernment veterinary sur geon, described the horses as being in a worse state than those brought in front of the court a few days ago, and 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 he 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 " odd 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 ge; 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 inflict imprisonment in the next case. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day, The market has again assumed a quiet tone, and sales will probably be about 4,000 bales. The market has been dull all the week. Week's sales, 3400 bales, including 5,960 on speculation, and 8,673 for export. Actual export, 9,390; import, 49,178 bales; sales to the trade, 19,000. Quota tions—Middling Uplands, 261 to 264 ; Mobile, 261; Orleans, 27. The Countess Dowager of Tankerville his arrived from Paris at her house in town, Hertford-street, Mayfair. A SILLY HOAX.—Some of the Yorkshire papers of Saturday last contained accounts of a " Curious Antiquarian Discovery at Driffield," in which the remains of mesczoic life 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 of 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 lozenge-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 trudceortiln tniBe • 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 Driffield on Monday last. for the pur pose of finding ou t, if p oss ibl e , w h at really was the nature of those di scover i es. A t Driffield, after inspectin g th e quarry, which certainly presents a breastwork fully 30 feet high, the whole of the three remarkable discoveries men tioned in the above extracts were found to have been made by one man, a quarryman. This man was very willing to give information of the wonderful things ho 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-called human hand was nothing more or less than one of the common ecrals found in the chalk, but had evidently been rather more digitate than is usual. In like manner, the only solution to bo arrived at about the " fossil bones" was that the ordinary baculites and be lernnites of the chalk fossils had been so called. The human face, the man protested, came 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 carved 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 never k nown a winter's frost, The "find," too, it ap peared, was some months old. The chalk model is now held by M r Brown, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1864. SHARE MARKETS—This day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOOPA.S. iharei - Railways. I Paid. air., Wol., and Str.

AN IRISHMAN AND THE PASTRY COOS.—Patrick Crawley, a determined Irishman, with his coat torn in many places, wee brought before Mr Paget, charged with assaulting William Hogg. The complainant, a little man, said ho was a pastry cook, of No. 86, 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, but that was not done with the fist? Witness—No, sir, he might have d one it w ith hi s open un mercifully, and would h He caught mebay the neck an d pumme ll e d me have strangled me if a policeman had not interfered. John Wilson, 152 IK, stated that he found the prisoner with the complainant's head under his arm, and he could not extricate himself. . Mr Paget—His head was in Chancery. It could not be in a worse position. Wilson—He struck him 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. There 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 ho asked for a haporth of eels instead. W e don't make any haportha of eels," says he, and tould him to leave his shop, Well then the pastrycook " fit " him, and he " fit " the pastrycook. Mr Paget—ls the prisoner known ? Wilson—Yes, sir, he is. lie was sentenced by Mr Woolrych to six weeks' imprisonment for assaulting a man with a pair of scissors, and he has since been imprisoned for 21days for assaulting a police - constable. The prisoner is a hawker. - - -----. Mr Paget—The prisoner is a very rough, irregular, and disorderly fellow. I sentence him to 14 days' imprison ment aid hard labour. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The supply of home-grown wheat on sale at Mark-lane to-day was but moderate. The trade, however, was very dull for all qualities, and the small amount of business transacted was at fully Monday's decline in the quotations. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. The demand for all descriptions ruled heavy, and prices had a drooping tendency. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at barely late rates. There was a coed supply of barley on offer. Good and fine malting parcels were steady in price; otherwise, the trade was dull, at fully the late decline. The malt trade waa dull, and where sales were pressed, less money was accepted. The supply of oats on sale was very large. For all quali ties the demand ruled inactive, at a further decline of 6d per quarter. Beans were a slow sale, at Monday's decline in prices. Peas were unaltered in value from Monday. The flour trade was quiet, at about previous quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WitElE. Wheat. Barley, Malt. Oats. Flour.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. 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 baciers by a short head, thanks to Loathes riding, in the handicap across the fist; and the Whiteleg filly squanc'ered her horses in the Two-Year- Old Sweepstakes, upsetting the great favourites, Herschel and Lady Egieia—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 Evaina, and Oldminster, the latter appearing to have the best of it at the distance; but he was beaten on the mare getting up with him, and D iley landed the B colcurs by a head. The " blue and yellow" was again borne in the van in the Rutland Stakes by Z ,pbyr, a very clever-looking scion of King Tom. The weather, which has been brilliant for the last few days, g4ve signs of breaking this afternoon, and the air on the heath was chilly.

Half way up the line Leatos brought up Sheri dan, who caught Mr Payne's filly a few strides from the chair, and won a file race by a head ; a length divided the second and third; Ilippolyta was fourth, Hawkshaw fifth, Zeloo sixth, and Land of the West next.

The meeting of the Leeds Banking Company, fixed for Wednesday, at Leeds, has been looked forward to with ex treme interest, The total liabilities were stated at the meet ing at £1,330,308, including unsecured creditors for £630,337. 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 £400,000, estimated as likely to be recovered from the drawers, &c., there appears to be a de ficiency of £60',000 on 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 £3:6,695. The meeting decided that the cumpany shall be wound up, and Mr C. Butler, of London, Mr W. Ledgard, of Byres and Sons, L^.eds, and Mr Wm. Turquand, the accountant, of Meeks 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 di.- cussed and ques tions asked, but no resolutions were adopted. The general impression among them seemed to be that the assets were overvalued and the liabilities under estimated, sad that £1,000,000 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 few days have been Messrs. Lightfoot and Sons, sugar refiners and rice millers, at Liverpool ; Mr Robert Baxen dell, of Manchester, corn merchant ; and Mr David Rams den, of Cottingley, near Bradford, spinner and manufac turer. Messts. Walker, Cotesworth, and Co., of. Liverpool, have addressed a circular to their creditors, requestieg for bearance until the result shall have been ascertained of the negotiations pending with regard to the Leeds Banking Company. FAILURE AT BRADFORD:—.Oa 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 £46,148, 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 able to extract therefrom particulars showing the result of transactions during every separate year in which he 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 15s in the pound on the amount of their respec tive debts, such composition to be paid by three instalments of ba each, at three, six, and nine months each, provided the last instalment should be satisfactorily guaranteed. Messrs. J. Oddy, T. Renton, Crabtree, and E. ti, Ward were appointed a committee to c infer with Mr Ramsden 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 payment of the last instalment, The creditors present expressed their sympathy with Mrßams don, and a hope that he might be able to re-establish him self in business. DEATH OF SIR GEORGE FREDERICK EDIfON. STONE, KA:X.—We have to record the deat h of Sir Geo. F. Edinenstone, who died on Saturday last, after n. long illness, which was first engendered during his us( 01 service in India. The lamented gentleman was only 51 years of ago. He entered the civil service of the Hon. East India Company in 1830, we believe, after a flattering pro gress at Haile) bury College. After a zealous and active discharge of his of 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 to 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) last year, in recognition of his great public cervices. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE —This Day. NEWMARKET RACES—Tms DAY.

Of the various phenomena that are loosely classed under the head of "spiritual mannestations," none have been more remarkable than those now exhibited by two gentle men named Davenport. In the United States they have been celebrated fur 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 cf those professed connoisseurs of spiritualism w h o are on the watch for any new illustrations of their favuurite creed. lience their seances hitherto have been strictly private. By whatever means they perform their marvels, they have this to recommend them, that their feats am altogeth e r 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 pas , , 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 some of the earlier "experiments," which seem to have been cx tremely curious. I shall not state what I heard about them, as I 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 his narrative will scarcely preserve hint 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 discordant concert held within a ward robe placed at the end furthest from the door. When the wands 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. The centre compartment held the musical instruments, and on each side of this sat the corded brothers. The ostensible theory is, that the Davenports, bound as they were, produced a combination of noises, compa►ed to which the performance of the most obtrudve German band that ever awakened the 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 incarcerated in 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 offor was not accepted, but the fault, if any, 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 filled with the saund 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 c:ose 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 administered, sometimes the knee was patted by a mysterious hand,diverti shrieks from the members of the company indicating the side on which the more tangible " 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 r-- gained its supremacy, one of the brothers expressed a desiro 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 af 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 dark nesss, was wurn in proper fashion by a person for whom it had not been designed by the ta.lor. Finally the brothers desired a release, and one of the company, certainly not an 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 ropes 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 operators to spiritual agency. lo sum up essential characteristics of the exhibition, it is sufficient to state that the brothers, wh en not shut up in the wardrobe, are hound when the candles are alight, perform their miracles in the dark, and on the return of light are found to be bo4nd as before. The investigators into the means of operation have to ascertain whether the brothers are ale to release themselves and resume their straitened condition during the intervals of darkness, and whether. even if this is practicable, they con, without assistance produce the effects deec ri bed.
