ONE Y MAItKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK, The demand for discount accommodation has slackened, and the rates for the best bills are 31 ; to 38 per cent. During the last few days a moderate amount of bnaicess has been transacted in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. The public sales of tea have proceeded without any material change in prices. Sugar has been in fair request, at steady rates, while full prices have been obtained for coffee and cocoa. In rice, frait, and spices the operations have been to an average extent at about previous quotations. Tallow has been in better demand, and prices have tended upwards for both present and forward celivery. The Oriental Hotels Company is. an undertaking recently brought forward, for the purpose of pro viding the chief towns and seaports of India and China with suitable hotel accommodation. It is said that throughout our eastern empire there is a very great deficiency in this respect, and that the European population, which is annually on the in crease, is loud in its complaints against the pro vision it finds for lodgings, &c. In the first instance it is intended to erect esta blishments at Bombay and Point de Galle, and after these buildings have been completed others are t'.) rise up in Madras, Singapore, Kurrachee, &c. The directors are principally gentlemen con nected with India, either by its civil service or its trade. The nominal capital of the undertaking is fixed at £250,000 (half of which is to constitute the first issue), in shares of £lO each. Somt important alterations are exhibited in the Bank c•f England return for the week ending Wed nesday last, the most conspicuous being a consider able failing off in the Other Securities, to the repay ment of advances and the increased facilities offered in the open market, which have had the t l'fct of diminishing the number of inquiries at the national establishment. The bullion and reserve of notes are smaller, but an early influx of gold is not im probable.

The Paris Three per Cent. Rentes, this morning according to Mr. Renter's telegram, opened at 67f 45c. ; business better. Business in the English Stock Market has been very limited, but quotations nevertheless are ex hibiting increasing firmness under the favourable influence of better prices from the Paris Bourse, and that affairs on the continent may yet assume a less warlike tender cy.

AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.— Considerable disappointment was inflicted upon the aquatic public yesterday through there being no race for the silver sculls. Owing to the illness of Mr. Woodgale, the holder, Mr. Parker, the winner of the trial heat. rowed over the course to claim. The trial of Bradley far the raurder of Adam Grier son terminated at a late hour last night. For the defence en attempt was yesterday made to prove an a libi ; but the witnesses broke down on cross-era =nation, one of them, a woman, who swore posi tively that she had met Bradley in a neighbouring town on the night of the murder, April 10, not being able to tell the name of this month, or the number of the day. Sergeant Sullivan spoke to evidence on behalf of the Crown, after which the judge charged the jury, who retired to consider their verdict. Having been called out several times, they stated at length that they found it impossible to agree, and two of their number being seriously ill, they were discharged , The prisoner is to be tEed:ag a i n at the next assizes, His counsel applied that he should be admitted to bail, but this was opposed by the counsel for the Crown and refused. This case places in a striking light the present inconvenient arrange ment with regard to the time of holding the assizes. Assuming the prisoner to be innocent, as we must do till he is found guilty, he will have to remain eight months in gaol, waiting for his trial; and, if we add the time already spent in prison, he will be nearly a year in confinement. It is worthy of remark that Mr. M'Donogh was specially retained to defend the prisoner at a fee of 100 guineas. This sum which is probably not more than half the cost of the trial to the prisoner—will no doubt be made up by subscriptions, as in other cases where parties have been tried for agrarian murders. rises, LITERATURE. Climate : an Inquiry (nto Mc Causes of -jts rences, and into its Influence on VegetWe By C. Daubeny, M.D. Parker, Oxford and Loudon. Professor Daubeny's little book comprises the substance of four lectures which he delivered before the Natural History Society, at Torquay, in the Feb ruary of the present year. On the whole, it may safely be said, that it is interesting and instructive. Tne highly important influence of climate upon vegetable life demseds a great deal more attention end study than it has hitherto received. The chemistry of plants and soils has engrossed so much of the time and talents of investigators that the equally necessary study of climate, as it affects vege tation, has been too much neglected. While therefore, we do not deem this little work to be all that it should be, we heartily welcome it. We hail it as a step in the right direction. What faults we have to find with it shall be stated at once. When such lectures are committed to print for publics • tion, we object to the reproduction of the apologies and reasons for their delivery --generally, of course, of a purely local interest, if any —and also to the explanation of the personal bias which led to the selection of the subject; and, yet further, we object to all other matter extraneous to the subject, as being of no value to the general public, while it is a great annoyance to the student and to the scientific reader. Neither do we perceive the object of introducing into a work on climate, a discussion on the material nature of the sun, toge ther with an exposition of spectrum analysis, oc cupying four closely-printed pages. Whether or not a great deal too much is said, considering the limited size of the book, about the geogra phical distribution of plants, we decline to decide; but we have no hesitation in saying that if less had been said about Sir C. Lyell's notions of antiquity and Dr. Darwin's theory of selection, the better would it have been for the book as a work on Climate. Quotations from the Latin poets, moreover, may be interesting to some, but few would deem them of any value in con nection with the science of climate. In a lecture, eloquent periods and quotations may very decently be introduced to gain the applause of the audience: but these in print are mere platitudes, and only serve to spin out the book. Weeded of much of this superfluous matter, Dr. Daubeny's work would be reduced about one-fourth in size, to the great ad vantage of the subject and of the reader. It is like wise to be regretted that no less than three pages of corrections and additions have been found necessary to be appended to the volume, while some blunders have passed altogether unnoticed. The Sir John Reade, alluded to in connection with the theory of storms, is we suppose the late Sir W. Reid. Ti.roughout the book tem perature figures are printed as degrees and minutes, both by words and symbols, as if the measurement were similar to that for latitude. Of course the minutes of temperature should be decimal parts of degrees. In a future edition, by judiciously expunging undcorreeting,the meritof the work would remain, and it would become truer to its title. It is now, ho waver, our agreeable duty to testify to the value of these lectures. The first lecture considers the causes which regulate the distribution of tempera ture, and the chief elements which constitute the climate of any place. It then explains the sources of heat, the dependence of temperature on latitude together with the modifying agents, and the instruments and methods by which extremes and means of temperature are determined. Finally, it illustrates equable and excessive 31imates, and discusses the general causes which account for peculiarities of climate. These matters are treated of concisely, clearly, and methodically. In the second lecture the local causes which affect climate come under discussion, as oceanic currents, proximity to large extents of land or water, elevation above the sea, nature of soil, exposure to light, humidity (as productive of fog, rain, dew, &e.), winds, electricity, and ozone. The third and fourth lectures are devoted to the influence of climate on vegetation, and are of cape. cial value and interest to the agriculturist. The author very clearly expounds the physical condi tions which determine the adaptability of plants to hot, temperate, extreme, or equable climate ; he adduces instances of plants suited to bright, and of others adapted to cloudy, skies; and he also exempli fies the suitability of some plants to humid, and of others to dry climates. Then we are instructed in the modifications probably effected in climate by the peopling of new and uncleared countries; in the treatment most likely to be successful in naturalis ing plants in a colder climate; in the influence of climate on crops with its practical bearing on farm ing; and, finally, the husbandman is enlightened on the importence to himself in his vocation, and for his locality, in ascertaining its climate, in the practice of keeping a simple m e t eo r o l og i ca l register. We feel that to extract at any length any of the author's information on these interesting and im portant matters, or to attempt to give an adequate account of any portion, would be to give the reader in part that which he should seek as a whole in the work itself. We will cite one or two passages, however, for the purpose of showing the mode of treatment of the subject, as well as the style of the work. The barometer is the oracle of the meteorologist, which admits of various interpretations, not always very intelligible io the uninitiated ; but the following remarks upon I the causes which may bring about a fall or rise in the barometer, appear to us calculated to disperse a little of the existing obscurity of the subject : " As heat produces rarefaction, a sudden rise of tempera ture in a distant quarter may affect the weight of the atmo sphere over our heads, by producing an aerial current out wards, to supply the place of the lighter air which has moved from its former position; in which case the barome ter will fall. "Now such a movement in the atmosphere is likely to bring about an intermixture of currents of air of different temperatures, and from this intermixture rain, as we have seen, is likely to result. " On the other hind, as cold produces condensation, any sudden fall of temperature causes the column to contract, and sink to a lower level, whilst other air rushes in from above to supply the void; and, accordiagly, the barometer " Should this air, as often happens, proceed from the north, it will contain in general but little moisture ; and hence, on reaching a warmer latitude, will take up the vapour of the air, so that dry weather will result. "It is generally observed that winds cause a fall in the instrument; and, indeed, in those greater movements of the atmosphere which we denominate storms or hurricanes, the depressiou, as we have seen, is so considerable as to forwarn the navigator of his impending danger." The next extract, relative to the method of pro ducing hardier varieties of plants, will show the Tactical value of the book in an agricultural point of view. " I believe the cultivator may, in some cases, succeed in acclimatizing a plant in a colder region by selecting for his purpose the robuster varieties of the species he wishes to introduce. Thus the late variety of the walnut flourishes in localities where the early ones are killed by the frost. Thus the early sorts of vine bear fruit in climates where, owing to the insufficient heat of summer, or the early frosts of winter, the plant in general fails. " In like manner, by selecting the tubers of those pota toes which blossom first, and by repeating that selection several times in succession, we may at length obtain a variety which arrives at maturity in less than three months, and which, therefore, us it would seem, might be intro duced into climates where ►he summer is too short to ripen the ordinary samples. "The importation of olive trees obtained in the Crimea, which appear less sensible to cord than those of the south of France, might perhaps enable us to extend the cultiva tion of that fruit beyond its present geographical limits. inactive. "It follows, of course, that the larger portion will die, but a few of the hardier individuals may nevertheless sur vive. Repeating this process by sowing seeds obtained from these latter varieties, in a climate somewhat colder than the first, it is conceived that a robuster race might be produced, inasmuch as the survivors would be the hardiest varieties of the hardiest parents, and therefore might be capable of existing in a climate very much colder than the one natural to the species in general." The practical importance of the subject will ob viate any apology for our last citation on the in fluence of climate upon crops— " Even to the farme r it maybe useful to possess the data for estimating the influence which a summer, warmer or colder, wetter or drier, than ordinary, has exerted upon the pro ductions of his farm, s') as not to be misled in his calcula tions as to the advantages or disadvantages of any novel plan of cultivation, " These data have in part been supplied by Mr, Lawes in an elaborate piper publiehed in the ri,hth vi,ll; c: the Royal Agricultural Society's Journal for 1843, in wh'ca he s hows that in 1844, 1845, and 1846, the difference in the amount of produce was in accordance with the general cha racter of their respective seasons. "Thus in 1844, when there were only 81 rainy days (in 391 weeks', and when the mean summer temperature was 57.5 deg, the farm produced 16 bushels of corn to the acre, and the weight of the bushel was 6011b5., whilst the grain bore to the straw as high a ratio as about 82 to 100. " In 1846, when there were 93 rainy days, and when the mean temperature was as high as 59deg., the yield was about 17 bushels per acre, and the weight of a bushel 681bs. ; but the proportion of grain to straw was lower, namely 76 to 100, showing that the yield of corn had been influenced by temperature, but that the quantity of straw had been in creased by the amount of rain. "Lastly, in 1845, when the number of rainy days was greater, though the temperature had been lower than in either of the two other years—the former being 110, the latter 55 degrees—the yield was much greater, amounting to 23 bushels per acre, but the weight of the cora per bushel less, namely, 561b5., and the increase in the produce of straw such that the grain only bore to it the proportion of 49 to 100. " These figures appear to show that although the greater quantity of rain was favourable to the amount of grain, yet that it tended to increase in a still greater ratio that of the straw, and that the higher the temperature of the year was the heavier the grain would prove, so as to make up in quality for its deficiency in actual quantity. " Thus it would appear that, under the same treatment, the produce may vary in the proportion of seven bushels per acre, according to the difference of season, which is equivalent to one quarter of the normal produce; or, cal culating this at 30 million quarters in a good year, may be as much as 71 million deficient." In conclusion we would remark that climate depends upon heat, cloud, rain, wind, the frequency of electrical disturbance, and probably the diffusion of ozone. As regards heat, the actual mean annual temperature of any place has not such an impor tant influence upon life, either animal or vegetable, as the abruptness and magnitude of its changes. Climate should be estimated more by the range of the thermometer than by the average of its indications. The Registrar-General's returns prove that with a wide range of the thermometer the mortality greatly increases; and it is now ap parent to meteorologists that the daily range of the thermometer marks the effects of temperature on the health of men, and the success of crops, better than any other meteorological fact of which we take cognisance. Now that we possess self-registering thermometers constructed with mercury, the most appropriate of all thermometric substances, not only for maximum but likewise for minimum tempera tures, thanks to the ingenious invention of Mr. Casella, the determination of the diurnal range of temperature has become more certain, and observa tions are rendered more strictly comparable. The prevalence of a serene or a cloudy sky tells strikingly upon animal spirits and vegetable vigour. Vapour and clouds are concerned in the important operations of solar and terrestrial radiation. Cloudy days diminish the effect upon the soil of solar radiation ; cloudy nights retard the radiation from the earth. Hence, it appears to us, that observations from radiation-thermometers are of much greater im portance in judging of climate than is usually sup posed. These observations are very scanty, and what few are yet upon record are not very reliable principally from bad exposure of the instruments while the want of uniformity in construe. on may be another evil. Thus, in the recently invented vaccuum jacket for the solar radiation thermometer, the makers are not consistent in the shape which they give to the outer bulb. So far as we can yet judge of it, it should be made as by Casella—hemisphe rical. Herschel's actinoineter, and Pouillet's pyrheliometer, instruments for ascertaining the heating effect of the sun's rays, should, more over, be more generally employed by meteorolo gists. Professor Tyndal calculates that 10 per cent. of the heat radiated from the earth in this country is stopped by 10ft. of the air which lies nearest to the ground; and he very acutely remarks, that in com paring observations on the radiation it should be kept in mind that the difference between a thermo meter which, properly confined, or shaded, gives the true temperature of the night air, and one which is permitted to radiate freely towards space, must be greater at high elevations than at low ones. And this because the higher the place, the less the thickness of the vapour screen to intercept or retard the radiation. Rain is the result of the cooling of warm air laden with moisture, and, as the feeder of springs and brooks, and the fertilizer of soils, is of course an essential element of climate. When a warm and moist current of air encounters another body of colder air which may not be extremely dry, the mixture is unable to retain the whole of the vapour in an invisible state; so that the excess becomes visible as mist or fog, and, when sufficiently cooled, rain. The British Isles are more or less enveloped in fog, or mist, at the commence ment of easterly winds, which with a sudden change of wind is exhibited even in summer; while the south-westerly winds, warm and arriving from the ocean, deposit large quantities of rain by the cooling effect of the land, colder by reason of its latitude. When rain occurs with a north-easterly wind it is probably due to the deposition from an upper south-westerly current, often apparently proved by the movements of the upper clouds. Much consideration is due to winds in estimating climate. Here we can only afford one or two re marks. In our islands the predominant westerly winds are genial, and change little in temperature, coming from the ocean, which maintains its tern. perature with more uniformity than the land, throughout the year. In summer the east winds are often very hot, in winter they are intensely cold ; because they arrive from countries charac terised by hot summers and cold winters. The western shores of Europe, the borders of the ocean and the continent, are the seat of conflict of these easterly and westerly winds, of polar and equatorial origin respectively ; and at the spring and autumn, their temperature being, as it were, more equally balanced, there is a struggle for predominance, which results in the equinoctial gales of the periods. Equatorial winds are found to be negatively electric, polar winds positively; hence the difference of electric tension accounts for the occurrence of lightning and thunder at some places, with violent gales of wind. It is not, however, our intention to go further into the subject now, while in reference to ozone we content ourselves with reiterating Dr. Daubeny's statement, that " ozone may play an im portant part in regulating the functions of the vege- 1 table kingdom ; and although it would be premature at present to speculate upon its specific office, yet, for this reason alone, it may be well to note the fact of its frequency, in conjunction with the different phases which vegetation assumes, persuaded throughout no principle can be generally diffused Nature, as appears to be the case with this, without having some important and appropriate use assigned for it to fulfil." MARKETS—This Day. MARK LANE. A. very small supply of English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market. Good and fine parcels were in fair demand at full quotations, but inferior parcels sold heavily on former terms. The show of foreign wheat on the stands was large. All descriptions changed bands slowly, yet no change took place in prices compared with Monday. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request at late rates. The market was scantily supplied with barley, yet the trade ruled inactive at about stationary prices. _lThe value of malt was unchanged, but the demand ruled The supply of oats on offer was only moderato. For all qualities, however, tho demand ruled inactive at late rates. Beans and peas were dull, and prices had a downward tendency. The demand for flour ruled far from active at about pre vious quotations. There was a good supply of barrels on .ffer, ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

THE POLISH INSURRECTION. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) CRACOW, July 24. Intelligence from Warsaw states that by order of General Berg, the judges and civil assistants in legal examinations have been replaced by military officers. The knout is employed to extort admis sions from prisoners confined in the citadel. Letters from Volhynia announce that the town of Dubna has been occupied by the Sultan, with a numerous detachment. DISTURBANCES AT NAUPLIA, PARIS, July 24. Letters received here from Athens to the 19th assert that the battallion commanded by Listzokas which recently left the capital has taken possession of the citadel of Nauplia. The same authority states that the Trafalgar, English man of-war, has left for Nauplia, The Abduction and Murder at Islington, - This afternoon the prisoner William Henry Clarke, who stands charged with the murder of the child Elizabeth Hunter, was again placed at the bar of the Clerkenwell Police-court, but nothing further than that which is already known was proved. The proceedings were merely suffi cient to justify a remand. CORONER'S INQUEST. The coroner's inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of the unfortunate child Elizabeth Hunter was re sumed to-day, at the Florence Arms, Florence. street, 'sling,- ton. The prisoner Clarke was present, and the whole of the evidence taken on former occasions was read over to him. The most important witness examined during the investi gation was a person named Wm. Shrosbree, of 12, Ivy-lane, Hoxton, who said his son some time ago purchased the pair of gold earrings produced from a man in Shoreditch for threepence. He corrected him for so doing at the time, as he believed they had been stolen by the person who sold them. The person of whom he bought them wore a billycock hat. His son, since the occurrence, had unfortunately died, but before his decease he said the person of whom he purchased the earrings was a youn g man of very d a rk comp l ex i on, and about the height of the pri suner. The mother of the child said her daughter wore gold wires exactly like those in court, but ehe could not positively swear that they were hers. Mr. Pollard, on the part of the Treasury, appeared to conduct the prosecution, but as he had received his in structions so very lately, he had to apply for a remand. The prisoner's counsel and the prisoner himself protested against any further remand, but Mt. Barker said he should remand the prisoner for another week. 131 r, 'ERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.--This Evening. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE SMOKE NUISANCE. Lord REDESDAL NI called attention to the great in crease he had observed lately of the quantity of smoke emitted from manufactories and other Owes in the metro polis, and hoped the noble earl (Granville) would take some steps to cause the police to use every means to abate the nuisance, The Duke of SUTHERLAND also mentioned that he had observed the same thing. Earl GRANVILLE said he would see that the attention of the authorities at the Home-office was directed to it. SECOND READINGS. The following bills were read a second time without dis cussion :—Pauper Lunatics Asylum Bill—Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill—lndemnity Bill—Land Tax Commissioners Names Bill—and Promissory Notes Bill. The Commons' amendments to the Naval Medical Sup plemental Fund were considered and agreed to. TELEGRAPHS BILL. On the Commons' amendments to this bill being con sidered, Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY stated that, as one of the amendments which the Commons had made gave power to telegraph companies to carry telegraphic wires over the houses and gardens of the inhabitants of towns, provided only the street authorities gave the permission to carry them. He thought the amendments ought to be printed, in order that they might be considered tomorrow. The suggestion was agreed to. COMMITTEES. The following bills passed through committee :—Poisoned Grain, &c.—Expiring Laws Continuance—Removal of Prisoners (Scotland) —Charitable -Uses—and Companies Clauses. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Trustees (Scotland) Act Amendment Bill—Navy Prize Agents' Bill—Nuisances Removal Act (1855) Amendment Bill—Union Relief Aid Acts Continuance Bill—Turnpike Trusts Arrangements Bill—Railway Clauses Bill—Water works Clauses Bill—Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill — and Petty Sessions Bill. EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY then rose for the pur pose of bringing under their attention the drat report of the Children Employment Commission.

On the motion that this bill be read a third time, Mr. HENNESSY repeated several of his objections to this bill, which he said would repeal some enactments which ought not to be repealed, and leave untouched others which were virtually of no use on the statute-book. The bill, which consisted of 198 clauses, was full of anomalies, and ought not to be hurriedly passed at the fag end of the session. Some old acts would be mutilated, such as Magna Charter, and for all practical purposes the bill would be anin operative. In conclusion, he moved, as amendment that it be rea d a third time this day we ek. , Mr. L YGON seconded the motion. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied—The bill had been carefully prepared by eminent gentlemen of the gre a t est legal experience, who had devoted years to its compilation. All the objections raised by the hon. and learned gentlemen were utterly baseless. The hon. and learned gentleman had evidently employed his leisure in dipping into some legal books, and the result was his picking ny,L., a smattering of information of the most superficial nature, which he had abundantly displayed in his opposition to the bill. He had raised no real objection to the bill, which, in the opinion of lawyers on both sides of the house, would constitute a great boon to the professors of the law and the general public. I n truth, the hon. and learned gentleman evinced no knowledge on the subjects with which ho had dealt, and yet asked the house to withdraw its confi dence from those who possessed great knowledge on the matter, es abundantly evinced in the laborious preparation of this measure, which had been in preparation since 1859. Mr. HENNESSY withdrew his motion, and the bill was read a third time, and passed. EXHIBITION MEDALS BILL. Mr. MILNER moved the second reading of this bill, and asked the house to go at once into committee, that it might be read a third time this evening, or Mondry. The object of the measure was to provide, otherwise than by costly civil process for the punishment of persons falsely repre senting themselves as the owners of medals. The bill passed through committee. Third reading on Monday. PIER AND HARBOUR BILL. The Lords' amendments were considered and agreed to. VACCINATION (SCOTLAND) BILL.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—George Neal, a determined looking young man, was charged with stabbing David Young. The prosecutor said on the 10th of July he was in Covent garden market, when cut of a lark he tapped prisoner on the shoulder, ho turned round very savagely, struck him a blow on the cheek, which he returned, and the prisoner rushed up to a coffee-stall, and, taking a knife therefrom, he stabbed him in the cheek and also over the left eye, which injured him to such an extent that the eyeball was completely displaced. He sank to the ground from the effects of the blow, and on recovering he found himself in the hospital. George Davis said ho saw the prisoner running towards the coffee-stall, and when he got up to it he deliberately opened a drawer in it and took a large white-handled table knife from it, and then he attacked the prosecutor. He went up and seized the prisoner, but he struggled very violently, and having dropped the knife, succeeded in get ting away, lie continued to follow him, and ultimately,he was taken into custody. Police -constable Smith said he took the priscner into custody for stabbing the prosecutor.
