OFFICE OF THE CHAMBERLAIN OF THE CITY OF LONDON. Yesterday a numerous meeting of the friends of Alderman Brown, one of the candidates for the office of Chamberlain of the City, vacant by the death of Sir W. Heygate, took place at the City of London Tavern. There were amongst the large assemblage the follow ing gentlemen:—Aldermen Sir Peter Laurie and John Johnson, Rev. J. A. Hankey, Mr. Curling, Mr. Bousfield, Mr. Baggally, Mr. Johnson, the member for Coleman-street Ward, &c. Sir P. LAURIE, as the senior Alderman present, was called to the chair by acclamation. He stated that he certainly felt highly honoured by being called in so emphatic a manner to the chair. He would have felt more gratification if the chair had been occupied by the Lord Mayor, as his Lordihip had intended. The various duties of the office had, however, been an obstacle to his Lordship's intention ; but the meeting might be assured that the Chief Ma gistrate had been most laborious and ener getic in his exertions for the success of their re spected friend Alderman Brown.—(Loud cheers.) lie found in the paper of arrangements for the day so many influential names of gentlemen who were to take part in the proceedings, that he should not trespass upon the attention of the meeting, but he would not be doing justice to his own feelings, and to the high character of the candidate he supported, if he did not at once declare his conviction that in the metropolis there could not be found any individual so well adapted as their excellent friend, Alderman Brown, for the important office of Treasurer of the ancient City of London. Alderman Brown's reputa tion was unblemished and unassailable; and he had never uttered a falsehood.—(Ch ee rs.) As to the re sult, there could, he was convinced, be no doubt. In deed, he did not expect to hear of the other candi dates on Thursday, the day of nomination ; for upon finding, upon their canvass, that they stood not the slightest chance of success, they would, it was rea sonable to suppose, retire from the contest previously. —(Cheers.) He would add nothing more than that Alderman Brown had through life shown that his word was his bond, and that he was in debt to no man.—(Cheers.) Alderman JOHN JOHNSON felt the highest gratifi cation in moving the first re3olution. He had had an acquaintance with Alderman Brown of twenty-two yearn' standing. The resolution stated that Alderman Brown, by his long and faithful services as a magis trate, by the industry, ability, integrity, and punc tuality, with which he had discharged his magis terial duties, and by his zealous vindication of the rights of the liverymen, when recently assailed in the Court of Common Council, had justly entitled himself to the esteem and regard of his fellow-citizens ; and the fact of his being, next to Sir C. S. Hunter, senior Alderman, furnished an addidional claim to the Livery of London.—(Cheers.) Mr. T. A. lIANKEY seconded the re3olution, an i bore testimony to the high character maintained by Alderman Brown during a public life of some con siderable length. It was not in the power of any man to allege against the worthy Alderman the slightest act of an objectionable nature in his public or private career; and in the whole of the civic com munity no man could be found who was better quali fied for the high office. The resolution was adopted amid great cheering. Mr. R. BAGGALLY proposed a resolution, pledging the meeting, collectively and individually, to use every exertion to secure the election of Alderman Brown. lir. R. JOHNSON seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. Mr. D. S. HEREON proposed the next resolution. It was to the effect of appointing a Committee to conduct the election. Mr. BOUSFIELD seconded the resolution. The list of those who volunteered to serve upon the Committee included the names of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Sir John Pirie, Sir Peter Laurie, Sir Geo Carroll, Aldermen Challis, Farncombe, and Gibbs, Mr. John Masterman, M.P., Mr. T. A. Hankey, and above 200 other names, which it was determined should be published in the newspapers. Alderman BROWN rose amidst cheers. It was, he said, now forty years since he had been called upon, amidst those with whom he had first drawn breath, and amongst whom he had received his professional education, to become a member of the City of London. At that time he had supposed there existed no merits of his own which could have induced his friends to think so favourably of him. He was then but just entering into life, but he was the son and grandson of those who had maintained an unblemished reputa tion in the immediate neighbourhood in which he had been born and bred.—(Cheers.) On that spontaneous suggestion of his friends he had consented to accede to their wishes. In so consenting he felt that he had the character of two questions to support, and he had also felt that he had to vindicate, by the proper dis charge of his duties, as a member of the Common Council, the judgment of those who, by electing, had placed such unbounded confidence in him. Twenty-seven years afterwards the alderman of the ward resigned his gown, and then the honourable appointment to the magistracy was offered to him. He had at first refused to be a candidate, but upon con sultation with his friends he had felt it to be his duty to accept it. He had accepted the office with the feel ing that the discharge of the duties of the office would be met with an indulgence which, he could say, had been more than realised.—(Cheers.) He declared that he could not lay claim to all which the resolution just passed attributed to him. To the fearless and con scientious discharge of the duties of his office as a ma gistrate he, however, certainly would lay claim, and he believed he had never been insensible to the esti mation of wise and good men.—(Cheers.) On po litical questions he had always maintained that course which, in his conscience, he believed to be right, and at the same time he had given credit to others who dif fered from him from the same conscientious feeling. He had always been convinced that in this land of li berty there must, and there ought to be, differences of opinion, and that it was by the discussion of these difti3rences of opinion truth was elicited.—(Cheers.) In many of these discussions he had taken part, but he was sure that he had never intentionally uttered a syllable calculated to give offence to any man. Sup ported as he had been he could not entertain a doubt as to the- result of the election, but still he instructed his friends not to relax in their exertions, and not to forget that no election was secure until the return was actually made. He further had a most anxious desire that the contest should be conducted through out as a contest between gentlemen, and that every thing which had the appearance of calumny and mis representation should be abstained from altogether. Mr. KING moved the thanks of the meeting to Sir Peter Laurie for bid conduct in the chair. Mr. CURLING seconded the motion, which was una nimously cat-ried, and the meeting adjourned. EMANUEL HOSPITAL. Some days ago we mentioned, under the head of "The Committee of Aldermen," that some essential alterations were about to be proposed. The proposi tions for enlarging Emanuel Hospital are directed, we are given to understand, to educational purposes. The present establishment consists of about twenty boys, twenty girls, twenty residents in alms-houses, and ten out-pensioners. The Court of Aldermen have recently increased the number of children to forty, and have established on the estates of the hospital a school sufficiently large to give daily education to all the poor children of Bransburton, in Yorkshire, where some of them lie. On the first endowment, by Lady Deere, the rents of the estate did not exceed 1001. per annum, but, by the falling in of the leases, and judicious management of the estates, the rents now produce between 2,0001. and 3,0001. per annum, which sum, by the express direction of the founder, is to be expended in education and alms at Emanuel Hospital in Westminster, on a site contracted for by Lady Mere herself, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and purchased for that purpose, pursuant to her directions, by the executors. The Court of Aldermen, therefore, have determined to give the utmost latitude to the founder's intention, and to enable the neighbourhood to enjoy to the fullest extent the advantages of a cheap and good education. Hence it becomes necessary to elevate the ' position in a ratio with its funds to give it somewhat of a collegiate character ; and there is for this pur- pose now under the consideration of the Court, a pro position that the master should be converted into a resident principal,mtter subordinate to whom shall be a number of of scholsa,:ltniel assistants, in the various de partmentsedfucation, that at least sixty children may be on the well as enjoying board, lodging, and clothing, a s are to be selected from c t hil d dren of amongst the and who clergymen, and other professional men and al e ao a ra tradesmen, in reduced circumstances. There tion that 400 persons of like classes not in thePfro°uPn7- tion, shall receive daily education similar to that Keven to the upper and junior department s o f the ing's College, upon payment of a small amount, to enable the Court to provide and secure a supply of learned and able tutors and roasters. Thus it is contemplated to establish in Westminster another great institution in a dense population, for the education of the growing classes of the community. Hitherto the Emanuel Hospital has been unknown. There is now a prospect of its being made one of equal utility with many of the great institutions of the kingdom. THE NAVIGATION OF THE RIVER THAMES..---A pa rphlias appeared in some of the newspapers to the ert that the new regulations, which the Committee of Aldermen have been discussing are now in operation. There is no truth in it. The further consideration of the regulations is postponed. Before any new regulations can be in operation, they must pass the Court of Alder men, and be confirmed by the approval of a judge. It is stated tiaat the Star steamer had 1,250 passengers on board on Tuesday last. EGYPTIAN AFFAIRS. ALIfICANDRIA, AUG. 19.—After the infliction of the fines upon the several members of the Council at Cairo, by which Mehemet Ali increased his finances by upwards of 250,000 dollars, his Highness seems to have thought no more of this matter, and left the capital for Alexandria, where he arrived in the after noon of the 9th inst., amidst the firing of guns from all the ports in and about the town, and all the ships of war in the harbour, Egyptian, French, and Eng lish. Some preparations had been made for the re ception of his Highness, but, on consideration, it was decided that nothing particular should take place, as he might have taken it amiss. The day after his arrival the Viceroy received all the grandees of the place, the Consular and European merchants, with whom he conversed as on ordinary occasions. His Highness was not looking very well, but is now recovering fast; he has resumed his usual habits, and all is again perfectly quiet. It now appears that the only cause of Mehemet Ali's excessive ill-humour, which made him leave Alexandria 30 suddenly for Cairo at the end of last month, was the conduct of several members of the Council at Cairo, who had taken some measures with regard to the government of the country without his authority, and without informing him of what they had done, and his Highness did not seriously mean what he said before his departure about resign ing and going to Mecca. Sami Pacha, Mehemet Ali's private secretary and constant attendant, leaves to-morrow by the French steamer Le Caire from Malta and Lucca, where he is to take the mineral baths fur the benefit of his health. This old and experienced man enjoys the fullest con fidence of the Viceroy, and his Highness's parting with such an able counsellor tends to show that he does not meditate any change for the present. The Viceroy has during the last few days dis patched the greater part of his ships of war, with ample funds, to the coast of Asia iNlinor, to pur chase horned cattle and horses for Egypt. Most of the ships have no guns at all on board, and the re mainder very few. On the 13th the French steamer from Syria arrived here with 157 passengers, mostly Turkish pilgrims proceeding to Mecca. Amongst the passen gers from Constantinople was his Excellency Mazloum Bey, Minister of Justice and Charge d'Affaires of the Viceroy of Constantinople, sent here by the Sultan to investigate the state of affairs in Egypt ; but, as he found all quiet, he returns to-morrow to Constantinople in the Nile. The Viceroy has made him several handsome presents, and sends 16 horses to the Sultan. Her Majesty's ship Belvidere left this port at day break on the 9th instant, for Malta, towed out to some distance by her Majesty's steamer Geyser. This frigate made a very short stay here, having arrived only late on the previous evening. The two annual fairs of Tautah and Sheik Ibrahim, which take place at this season in the Delta, have been exceedingly well attended this year. It has been computed that at the Tautah fair there were no fewer than 120,000 persons assembled, and a very large amount of business has been transacted there. On the 17th instant the dam that closes the mouth of the canal of Cairo was cut. This ope ration is done when the Nile has risen sufficiently high for the Government to proclaim that it has attained the sixteenth cubit of the Nilometer. In thij, however, the people are always deceived, for there is an old law that the land-tax cannot be exacted unless the Nile rises to the height of sixteen cubits of the Nilometer, and the Government thinks it proper to make the people believe as early as possible that it has attained this height. The period when the com pletion or abundance of the Nile is proclaimed is when the river has actually risen about twenty or twenty-one feet in the neighbourhood of the metro polis, which is generally between the 6th and 16th of August; that is, when there yet remain, of the measure of a moderately good rise in the neighbour hood of Cairo, three or four feet. The schooner Emmeije arrived here on the 16th inst. from Beyrout, which place she left on the 10th. The Turkish fleet was still in the Bay of Beyrout. The country all about Nahlous was in a very dis turbed state, and the Turkish Government appears not to have the power to maintain peace in those districts. A CCIDENT:—A shocking accident happened on Wednesday night last, at the Dereham Theatre, to Mr. Dillon, one of the performers. He had just com pleted his dress for the character he had to repre sent, and was preparing to leave the dressing-room, when he approached too near a lighted candle, and was instantly enveloped in flames. He ran towards the stage and was observed by some of the audience, who rushed forward and endeavoured, by press ing upon him, and covering him with such things as were at hand, to extinguish the flames, in which they did not succeed till he was so seriously burnt that be now lies in a very precarious state. A gentleman with great pre sence of mind stepped forward and announced that no further danger was apprehended, and happily prevented any sudden rush to the doors.—Norfolk Chronicle. Tnil BRITISH ASSOCIATION Tx Yenta.— The , general subscription fund for the approaching meeting of this scientific association has already reached a sum , exceeding 900/. It is exclusively appropriated for covering the expenses at York, in which city the an nual meeting is to take place on the 26th of next month.

Broadley, M.P., have each transmitted donations of 101.—Hull Advertiser. EXPLOSION OF Two STEAM-ENGINE BOILERS, NEAR NEWCASTLE.—A most alarming accident oc curred on Wednesday morning at the extensive iron fur naces of T. Firmstone, Esq., at Little Madeley, near Newcastle-under-Lyme, by which one man lost his life, and property to a considerable amount was destroyed. The cause of the calamity was the bursting of two steam engine boilers. At about seven o'clock, both the boilers, almost simultaneously, burst with a tremendous explo sion, filling the air for some distance around with the shattered fragments, and vast quantities of bricks and other materials. The utmost alarm was naturally ex cited on the works, the men running in all directions for safety. Great fears were at first entertained that the loss of life would be considerable, as from twenty to thirty persons were about the spot at the time of the ex plosion. A number of cottages adjoin the works, which are occupied by the workmen, and out of them women were observed running in all directions, anxious to as certain the fate of their husbands or relatives ; happily, however (and it was considered little less than miracu lous) only one individual received fatal injury, although many had remarkable and hair-breadth escapes. The unfortunate man whose life has been sacrificed, is Charles Mayer. He was observed by the engineer, Thos. Rhodes, in the slack-hole putting coal on the fire, scarcely a mi nute before the explosion. His mangled remains were found amongst the ruins a few yards distant from the place where he was last seen, and when picked up life was quite extinct.—Leeds Times. We are happy to learn that Mr. Whittle Harvey's Committee of the Greenwich Proprietors has succeeded in completing an arrangement with the South-Eastern. We will not anticipate the meetings which are about to take place on this subject, but we may state, for the information of those who are interested in the matter, that the result of the arrangements will be to give to the ordinary shareholders, after discharging all outstanding liabilities for the first ten years, an average dividend of something more than per share; and after that period in perpetuity nearly 12s. Taking money at 4 per cent., this would make the share worth 111, now increasing to 15/. ten years hence ; taken even at 5 per cent. the present value would be 94 increasing to 121. In any case the value of the shares must be regarded as considerably raised by the new arrangement. The old preference shares stilt receive, of course, 5 per cent., but the securities for all will henceforth be identical, the whole becoming, as it were, preference shares, guaran teed by the South Eastern, at the rates we have men tioned. The proprietors are, we think, to be congratu lated on the arrangement.—Railway Chronicle. J. TRAVERS, Est.—The will of the late J. Travers, Esq., has been proved in the Prerogative Court, by Maria Travers, widow, J. L. Travers, Esq., J. I. Travers, Esq , the sons, and S. Amory, Esq., the executors. The property is sworn under 70,000/. The will is dated in 1843, and gives Clapham Park (the residence of Mr. Travers;, plate, furniture, carriages, horses, &c., to his wife, Mrs. Travers. He also gives her the use of the habitable part of the house in St. Swithin's-lane, where his business as a wholesale grocer is carried on, and a legacy of 1,000/. His stock in trade, and business he gives to his sons, above-named, and makes a suitable provision for all his children (fifteen in number) except his son Joseph, who is excluded from all benefit under the will, having been already provided for by his father in his lifetime. He directs that his shares in the Assam Company may not be sold till the year 1850. He gives to the Unitarian Chapel, EtTra-road, Brixton, 250/. To his executors, and such of his brothers and sisters as shall be living at his death, 51. each for a ring. These are the only legacies of interest, and the remainder of his large property is bequeathed to his wife and children. DOVER, AUG. 30.—The new iron steamer Princess Mary, recently placed on the Ostend station, hence with a mail on Sundays and Thursdays, left Dover harbour yesterday at ten o'clock, with one carriage and 118 pas sengers: this day she returned from Ostend with two carriages and 82 passengers, and after an extraordi nary quick passage thence saved the tide into Dover harbour, This is a feat never yet before accomplished by any steam-packet on this station. TUE LATE SUICIDE AT DEPTFORD.—The funeral of the unhappy girl, Eliza Kendall, took place on Friday last. The deceased was followed to the church of St. Paul, Deptford, by nearly fifteen hundred persons, a very great proportion of whom were females. The pall was borne by eight maidens dressed in white, carrying large bouquets of flowers in their hands. At the grave, the surviving sister was so overcome by the solemn scene that she fainted, and was with difficulty saved from falling in upon the coffin. The three remaining daugh ters were suitably attired in mourning for the occasion, which had been purchased with amiss raised in very small subscriptions amongst the working classes in the parish in which they had resided. Ti.ig SUN, LONDON, TITESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1844. ebtrb Mbition SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. PEACES OF SHARES IN CANALS, RAILWAYS, BANKS, ASSURANCE AND OTHER COMPANIES' STOCK. LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 3. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE:EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The questions propounded by the House of Lords, in the case of the Queen v. O'Connell and others, and referred to the Learned Judges for their opiedon, were yesterday itessvered. A majority of the Judges agree in opinion that the verdict and judg ment are valid ; and, as a necessary consequence, the House of Lords will confirm both. The answers of the Learned Judges to the several questions were ordered to be printed ; and the judgment of the House of Lords will be formally pronounced by the Lord Chancellor to-morrow. Although the verdict and judgment are thus vir tually affirmed, by the agreement in opinion of a majority of the Learned Judges that they are valid ; there exists a difference of opinion respecting the va lidity of the judgment. Two of the Learned .Judges, Mr. Justice Coltman and Mr. Baron Parke, have de livered an opinion that the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench (Dublin) ought to be reversed; while the whole of the Judges agree in opinion that the 6th and 7th counts of the indictment are bad ; and that the conviction and judgment upon them ought not to be sustained. The Times is " rejoiced to see that the Irish Court of Queen's Bench has been saved from the odium and the disgrace of having sentenced several persons to a gaol on a conviction generally condemned by sound law vers for looseness and informality." 'We cannot sym pathise: with our Contemporary in the satisfaction, rising to extacy, on the escape of the Irish Court of Queen's Bench from the consequences of a reversal of its judgment, because we do not see that it has esta blished a claim to the profound legal discrimination which is affirmed in its behalf. The Judges of England unanimously decide, that " the sixth and seventh counts of the present indictment are so bad, that if the indictment consisted of those counts alone, it would be impossible to give any judgment against the defendants upon the verdict." Yet, upon these very counts, the Judges of the Irish Court of Queen's Bench, upon a motion in arrest of judgment, refused the application; by deciding, in the words of one of these legal luminaries, that "the sixth and seventh counts of the indictment were unexceptionable." These counts, unanimously declared " bad " by the unani mous voice of the English Judges, were those which, par excellence , the Irish Judg es referred to as the pillar and ground of the judgment they delivered against the motion in arrest of judgment ! Mr. Justice Perrin expressly declared that :he concurred in re fusing the motion, upon the ground that the " sixth and seventh counts were unexceptionable." Mr. Jus tice Crampton thought it unnecessary to enter into the merits of the first five counts, upon the ground that the sixth and seventh were " legally good and sufficient in substance and in form.' The Lord Chief Justice declared every count of the indict ment to be good and sufficient in law, " particu larly the sixth, seventh, and remaining ones." Out of this contrariety of opinion between the judgment of the Irish Court of Queen's Bench and the English Judges, on whose answers to the questions sub mitted to them the House of Lords will decide the appeal of the convicted parties, arise the principal questions. Whether, as there were some bad counts in the indictment—as the defendants had been found guilty upon each—and as the judgment was general, and the quantum of punishment a matter in the discretion of the Judges, a part, at least, of the punishment was not awarded upon the bad counts. And, as it was impossible to as - certain how much had been, as the whole mi g ht have been, so awarded, the defendants were not, in fact, punished for what was, in law, no offence ? These questions appear to have pressed on the minds of the Learned Judges Coltman and Parke, and con ducted them to the conclusion, that the verdict and judgment could not be sustained, and therefore ought to be reversed. To presume that the Irish Court of Queen's Bench must have ,awarded the whole of the punishment upon the good counts, and none of it Upon the bad, may be law, but will scarcely be concurred in by public opinion as founded on substantial justice. Mr. Baron Parke's observa.tioni are especially worthy of consideration. They are founded on the principles of " substantial justice ;" to secure which, the law it self, as a system, is supposed to exist ; and failing to secure which, it is worse that worthless. They derive additional force from the acknowledged high character of the Learned Judge by whom they were delivered, who stands second to none of his Learned Brethren in those 'attainments for which the English Judges are distin guished. And, influenced by the reasons which he as signed, and sustained by an argument distinguished for clearness, and convincing from its extraordinary legal ability, the learned Baron " felt himself compelled to give an opinion contrary to the majority of his Learned Brethren." The House of Lords will, of course, feel itself called upon to pronounce a judg ment in accordance with the opinions of the majority of the learned judges, and maintain the verdict and judgment of the Court below. Another question— and one on which we will not now enter—is, What course will Sir Robert Peel advise his Royal Mistress to adopt, under all the circumstances of this extra ordinary case ? STANDARD.—The proceedings against the Irish repeal conspirators, which have so much occupied public attention now for almost eleven months, ap proach their 'close. Yesterday the judges, to the number of nine, delivered their answers to the ques tions proposed to them; seven in favour of affirming the judgment of the Irish Court of Queen's ;Bench ; two—Mr. Justice Coltman and Mr. Baron Parke—in favour of reversing the judgment, but avowedly upon a phrely technical ground. We are not free at present to canvass the opinions or arguments of the Learned Judges, and though we think that some of these opinions and arguments are open to reasonable and serious objec tion—for example, Chief Justice Tindal's notion that "Intimidation," not being vocabulunz artis, cannot, by any combination with other words, be made to de scribe an offence; or the doctrines of Justice Coltman and Baron Parke, that an insufficient count in an indictment vitiates all other counts in that indictment, though not repugnant to them, but perfectly supporting them as far as it has mean ing—the time for investigating these notions (we will not call them crotchets) has not yet arrived, and we are readers upon the general result of the judges' answers. This well general ten ult, to as to which all the judges conrteesd be able to congratulate our are unanimous, establishes these propositions. That the proceedings of the Repeal agitators did, in fact, constitute a most criminal con spiracy, and a conspiracy illegal at common law. The establishment of this principle is worth all the labour, anxiety, and expense of the process, great as these have been. Next, it is established that the charges against the conspirators were fairly and candidly laid, without undue art or forced con struction. Thirdly, it is solemnly and unanimously declared by the judges, that the proceedings at the trial were perfectly fair, and that all the complaints about the jury lists were false or frivolous. This has been ordained, and this—we repeat it—was worth contending for, at whatever cost. Some of our Contemporaries, seized w!th a sudden fit of tenderness, hold that the conclusion of the investigation presents a fitting occasion co let loose the conspirators. Why ? Because they have enormously aggravated their original crime by the most disgracefully wicked and the most insolent line of de • fence that ever outraged the majesty of justice? Or is it because they, to the utmost of their power, prosecute their original crime ? We say now, as we said nine months ago, that peace, not vengeance, ought to be the object of a State prosecution; and that if the liberation of the prisoners could be made conducive to peace, or even compatible with peace, they might be properly liberated. Their whole con duct during the tedious trial, and up to the present day, has been directed to render any indulgence to them irreconcileable with the tranquillity of the country and the safety of all established order. But more of this hereafter. COURSE OF EXCH.

SUGAR.—Since Tuesday last there has been more activity in the Colonial Sugar Market, and importers have manifested more firmness. For West India a brisk demand has prevailed fur every description for grocery and refining purposes, the rates paid are fully equal to those of this day week, and in some cases rather above for bright yellow sorts. This afternoon there was an increased desire manifested on the part of grocers and refiners to purchase We,t India Sugar, and the rates paid were rather above those of Friday for bright yellow sorts ; all other kinds fully maintained the former currency. The total purchases reached 900 hhds, &c., including 152 hhds of Barbadoes, 72 hhds 18 tcs and 91 brls of St. Lucia at public sale ; the former, a footy parcel, however, went off flatly, and not above two-thirds sold at prices rather under those of the last auction, low yellow went at 56s to 56s 6d, mid 57s to 58s good mid to good 58s 6d to 61s, and fine 63s to 645; the latter, however, went at full market rates, viz., good yellow at 58s to 58s 6d, good middling 57s 6d, mid 565, low 55s to 55s 6d, good brown 545, mid 53s to 53s 6d, and low dabs 48s 6d per cwt. REFINED.—The low rates that prevail for Refined goods have induced the home trade to purchase largely, at 72s 6d to 73s for brown lumps, 73s 6d to 74s for stan dard lumps, 73s to 82s for tittlers, 73s 6d to 81s for Hambro Loaves, 82s to 90s for double ditto, and 71s to 72s per cwt for wet lumps. Prices have decidedly an upward tendency, and the grocers generally enter tain a favourable opinion towards the article. To-day Refined goods were in excellent request by the home trade. Standard Lumps at 745, and brown gro cery at 73s per cwt. Bonded crushed Sugar is much wanted, and prices are firm at 27s 6d to 27s 9d per cwt. MAURITIUS.—There has been a much better demand for this description of Sugar; good and fine yellow sorts, of which the supply is still modeerate, have brought in some instances rather higher rates ; inferior brown and grey kinds, which are plentiful, mainlain the previous currency. This afternoon good and fine yellow sorts were much inquired after, and the rates paid are rather above those of the public sale of Friday. In the value of inferior kinds there is little variation. EAST INDIA —Bengal has met with more attention, and some parcels of the better descriptions of white have been disposed of by private contract at former terms. Dobal sorts are much wanted, but the supply has be come small —sales made at 65s to 75s per ca t. This afternoon there was an increased demand for Ben gal Sugar, and 1,974 bags at auction were readily dis posed of at 6d, and in some cases Is per cwt above former rates ; fine white fetched 665, good mid and good 61s to 635, mid 60s to 60s 6d, low 595, damp and washed,s63 6d to 59s 6d, mid sound grey 57s 6d, ord Date yellow 53s 6d, and damp 51s 6d to 52s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN. —Since Tuesday last the demand has in creased for yellow Havannah, and the rates previously established are supported. To-day there was an excel lent demand for Foreign Sugar, and full rateswere paid; the private operations are 300 chests yellow llavannah on the spot at 19s to 20.;, 150 chests Is bite 29s to 31s, 180 cases white Pernambuco 21s for exportation to Hol • ]and, 220 cases grey Bahia (per Thetis) 225, 180 cases brown ditto 17s 9d for export, and 1,000 chests fine superior Trinidad de Cuba 21s on speculation. MOLASSES —Previous rates are supported for West India, and many parcels have been disposed of. This afternoon West India met with a fair demand privately, but 62 puns middling St. Lucia at auction were taken in at 21s 6d per cwt, being above the value. LAC DYE has met with attention, and several parcels have been disposed of at firm rates, sales privately made at 5d to 7d for common, 8d to is fur middling, Is 2(1 to is 3d for good, and is 8d to 2s 6d per lb for fine. COFFEE.—There are still few purchasers of West India Coffee, and prices continue on the decline, al though importers refrain from supplying the market largely ; the limited demand that has prevailed for some time is to be attributed to Ceylon Coffee being taken to a large extent as a substitute, the quality being much superior to that of former years, and still the cheapest description of Coffee the grocers can use. This afternoon there was rather more demand for Fo reign Coffee, and prices ruled firm ; sales of good ord St. Domingo were made at 30s 6d to 325, and good ord Rio 31s to 32s per cwt. Ceylon Coffee was in excellent request by private contract, good ord at 55s 6d to 56s per cwt ; there was no auction. Of West India 76 casks 179 brls were offered at public sale, and a very small part only sold at rather lower rates; Jamaica, good mid 105 s, mid 83s to 87 s , l ow m id 80s, fine fine ord 68s to 76 5 , fine ord 61a to 665, good ord 53s to 565, and triage 465. Demerara, unclean fine ord 53s to 60s, fine fine 64s to 645, and inferior 40s to 50s per cwt. TEA.—Previous rates are fully supported for Corgou, and a good demand has prevailed for all sorts ; indeed, for the middling kinds aather higher rates have been given ; common sound. has been selling at le i d to lld ; good common I lid to Is, but mid ra strong mixed blksh If is to is Oid, mid blksh. If is Id to Is 3d, good blksh If Is 3i-cl to Is 6d, fine and Pekoe flavour is 6-d to 2s 4d per lb; the supply small of latter sorts. The demand has been lively for Pouchong, and stiffer prices are again paid : indeed the market has been nearly cleared, common has fetched 6d to 6id, fair and good leaf 7d to 10d, and fine lOid to Is; the low and middling kinds are the most in request. Souchong of common qua li ty h as sold steadily at full rates, but good and fine sorts are dull of sale, and prices still going down. Bohea sold at 6d to 6i-d per lb. Twankay at is 2d to is 3d the better kinds at is 4d to Is 8d for but mid to mid brightish leaf, and at is 9d to 2s 5d for fine and Hyson kind ; the latter are still taken as a sub situate for ordinary Hyson.

Ilyson has met with much attention, and prices are still, rising, common fetching 2s 5d to 2s 7d, but mid and mid 2s Id to 2s I Id, and superior 3s to 3s 10d. In the.value of Young Hyson and Hyson skin there is no alteration, but an increased business has been transacted, and there is only a moderate supply. Gunpowder and Imperial have met with ready purchasers at prices rather above those previously quoted : of the former, sales made at 2s 2d to 2s 5d fur but mid coarse blue glazed leaf, 2s 6d to 3s for better quality, 3s 3d to 3s 6d for brightish leaf, and 3s 7d to 4s 6d ,for small ditto ,• the latter at 2s to 2s 3d for but mid con blue glazed leaf Canton kind, 2s 7d to 2s 10d for but mid palish leaf fresh burnt, 2s lld to 3s Id for brightish leaf, and 3s 2d to 3s 6d per lb for superior brightish leaf. To-day there was a good demand for most kinds of Tea, and prices have a firm appearance common and good sound common Congous brought I ld to is old per lb. COCOA.—West India is still much wanted and prices have further advanced is per cwt. 74 bags of Grenada at auction were sold at 46s 6d fur fine bright red, 42s to 42s 6d for ordinary, and 400 bags of Trinidad at 40s to 41s 6d for low red, and 42s to 44s 6d fur middling to good middling, but 340 bags were bought in much above the value ; good fair red at 45s to 465, and fair grey 42s per cwt ; full market rates were offered.

Calcutta at 2s 21d to 2s 2d per gallon, with cer tificate.

Seao.—The market has been in a quiet state, and prices are on the dee-line. This afternoon at public sale 103 bags 210 boxes Peal '. l .

INDIGO.—East India is still much wanted, and prices are looking up. Bengal has been in good request by shippers. The market is in a very satisfactory state for Indig ). Although the stock is a large one, still the market is sparingly supplied. TaLLow.—This afternoon, prices were fully main tained for Russian Tallow, and a good demand existed. The letters come to hand from St. Petersburgh state that the prices were not so firm, and the Russians gene rally more willing to realize ; up to the 20th of August, however, the quantity shipped off was 10,000 casks under that of last scacon to the same period ; the total quantity sent to Great Britain had not been above half of what it was last year to the same time.

Sperm, fine British, 851 to 881 per tun. For Linseed Oil, further reduced rates have been accepted : the supply has become large ; sales on the spot have been made at 24s to 24s 3d per cwt ; these low rates are likely to cause a great increase in the demand ere long ; prices are 6s to 7s per cwt under those of last year at this time ; in Rape Oil more business has been transacted, but not at better prices, pale selling at 36s to 36s 6d, and brown, 35s to 35s 6d, per cwt ; the market is firm for Olive Oil, and a good demand exists at 451 to 461 f.r Gallipoli, 421 to 44/ for Spanish, and 401 to 411 per tun for Barbary.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) CLERKEN WELL. Inspector Billens, of the S division, came forward yesterday and stated to the Magistrate, that there was a charge of a very serious nature on the police sheet, respecting which he sought his Worship's advice. Mr. John Stephens Murphy, an Irish gentleman, be longing to a mercantile house in the City, and residing at No. 53, Spencer-street, Northampton square, was charged with causing the death of James Rogers, and injuring three other persons, viz. :—John Hill, Thomas Bignall, and Elizabeth Bignall, whose life is despaired of. Mr. COMBE asked where the prisoner was ? The Inspector stated that Mr. Murphy was lying at his own residence dangerously ill. Prom the statement of those who witnessed the transaction, and who vv ere then in Court, the facts of the case appeared to be these :—The deceased, John James Rogers, was a carter in the employment of Mr. Upton, of Highgate, and lived in North-street, Highgate. Thomas and Elizabeth Bignall were aunt and uncle of the deceased, and John Hill his cousin. On the previous (Sunday) evening between eight and nine o'clock, the Bignalls and Hill, who lived in Hill street, Wellington-street, Blachfriars-road, had been visiting Mrs. Rogers, wife of the decased, who has just been confined of her fifth child, and were return. ing home along the Holloway-road, when they saw a one-horse phaeton in which Mr. Murphy was coming down Holloway-hill at full speed ; they endeavoured to avoid it, and ran towards the side of the road, but the vehicle turned into that side of the road, and before they could leave it came into collision with them. They were all knocked down. The deceased as caught in the springs and dragged into the road, and the wheels of the right side of the vehicle passed over his head, producing a compound fracture of the skull. Elizabeth Bignall's arm was broken, and the wheel's passing over her breast, severe internal in juries were the consequence. Thomas Bignall's col lar-bone was broken, and he was otherwise much in jured. Hill's wounds are not dangerous. At the moment of the collision, Mr. Murphy was thrown out of the vehicle. He was . Tendered insensible by th e fall, and his head was dreadfully cut and contused. The vehicle was broken in several places. The suf ferers were conveyed to the Whittington and Cat, Highgate, and Dr. Moger, of Highgate, was imme diately sent tor. Up.,n his arrival, Rogers was found to be in a dying state, and he did not survive more than a few minutes. Mrs. Bignall was for a long time insensible, and it was feared would not live through the night. Everything was done for the un fortunate survivors. Mr. Murphy was in the course of the night remov:d to his own residence, where he lies under the care of Dr. Matthews. Bignall is toll collector on the Southwark-bridge. Certificates regarding the condition of the sufferers from the medical gentlemen were produced. They described the condition of the Bignalls as very dan gerous. Mr. COMM inquired of Mr. Murphy was in cus tody ? The inspector replied, that he was under the surveillance of the police, and that he would be able to attend that Court on Wednesday next. Mr. COMBS said, he could not at present interfere. The police inspector must exercise his own discretion. GRAVESEND. EXTRAORDINARY FRAUDS.—Henry Kinglford, a respectably-dressed man, formerly carrying on busi ness as a miller at Northfleet, near Gravesend, was placed at the bar before Messrs. Staff, Oakes, and Spencer, borough magistrates, charged with obtain ing money under false pretences, by giving cheques on the banking-house of Messrs. Park and Co., of Old Broad-street, he at the time knowing them to be of no value. Mr. J. H. Matthews, solicitor, of Gravesend, ap peared on behalf of the prosecution, and another pro fessional gentleman attended on the part of the pri soner. Mr. Matthews said that he appeared on behalf of Mr. C. Westbrook, an inhabitant of Gravesend, who accused the prisoner at the bar with obtaining goods and money from him under false pre tences. He (Mr. Matthews) would not rely solely on that case, as he believed he was in a condi tion to prove that Mr. Kingsford was a regular trafficker in obtaining money under false pretences, and would therefore state the cases in the order as they occurred. The first case had reference to a bill drawn by a person named Stewart, described as a wine merchant, and accepted by the prisoner, for 341. This bill was dishonoured, no such person as Stewart being known. The next case he should prove was, that the defendant called upon Mr. Parslow, a re spectable tradesman of the town of Gravesend, and bought a pair of trousers, which came to 1/. 75., and for which in payment he gave a cheque for 5/.,drawn by John Stewart, upon Massrs. Park and Co., of Cushion-court, Broad-street, receiving the difference. This cheque was post-dated, being given on the 16th, and made payable on the 19th of August last. Mr. Parslow, when the day of payment arrived, received a note from the prisoner, requesting him to keep the cheque for a few days, as Stewart was not able to meet it. Mr. Parslow, however, in the course of business, paid it away, and on its being presented at the bank for payment, the answer was, "no effects." On the 21st of the same month, the prisoner called at Mr. C. Westbrook's, in High street, Gravesend, purchased several silk handker chiefs, paying for them with a cheque for a similar amount drawn by the same John Stewart upon Messrs. Park and Co. Mr. Westbrook paid it into the Connnercial Bank, and on the 224 it was re turned with th,• folowing Irawn with out authwity: . Ti i ,. Wfl:, then atplh...l to to return the. hacn,ey and tile goo ;;s Ile had r,tt:n ed, which he said he could not do. He further said that he had been deceived by Stewart, but that he must have money one way or another. lie (Mr. Matthews) said the prisoner hgd been most systematic. The Dividend per Annum.
