The English Funds continue to show considerable firmness, notwithstanding the comparative absence of business. They are deriving support from a general expectation that political repose will not be disturbed on the Continent, and that the e xc h anges , w hi c h are already favourable, will further improve so as to attract gold here from France, whilst our supplies will be soon enlarged by the amounts due from Australia. The Foreign market has further improved partly upon Continental orders. Railways remain at about the final prices of yesterday, which were depressed in con sequence of the closing of the transactions left open by the firms which suspended the other day. This is the fir s t d ay of the fortnightly settlement, and atten tion being chicly devoted to the arrangement of the account, the number of new transactions is restricted. The discount market is quiet, with liberal supplies, and rates for the best bills do not exceed 1/ per cent. On the Stock Exchange the terms for advances are quoted at 1 to 11 per cent. The Panama, from Valparaiso, has brought £30,000 in bar silver. .

Cheetham, who, as is known, are standing iu the Liberal interest for this division of the county, was finally inaugurated by a meet ing of the electors at Stockport on Monday, to whom both gentlemen made elaborate speeches. DEvoN (EAsT).—The first meeting of the electors of this new division of the county took place at Torquay on Monday night. The Conservative candidates, Viscount Cuurtenay and Sir L. Palk, were present, and the proceedings were of a very noisy character. Such a political meeting had not been witnessed in the town for years previously. The hon. candidates delivered addresses ex pressing themselves against Mr. Gladstone's policy on the Irish Church question, in favour of financial boards, and the reduction of the general expenditure of the country. Mr. Edmonstone fol lowed with a resolution pledging the meeting to do its best to secure the return of the candidates. The resolution was duly seconded, and an amendment moved to the effect that no candidates be selected who were opposed to Mr. Gladstone. This was moved by Mr. Murray, and seconded by Mr. Wil kinson, working men. Indescribable confusion followed. Several working men addressed the meeting, reading extracts from the speeches deli vered at the Crystal Palace during the Protestant demonstration, and commenting thereon in any thing but a complimentary manner. Ninety-three hands were held up in favour of the amendment. The resolution was declared to be carried. HUDDERSFIELD.--Mr. E. A. Leatham, who only regained the seat for this borough, which he lost in 1865, a short time since, on the death of Mr. Cross land, is, it is said, t 3 be opposed by Mr. C. Brook, jun., of Headslcy Hall, L:icestershire, iu the Con. servative interest. KILMARNOCK.—The representation of this district of burghs. which Mr. Bouverie has held since 1844, is to be assailed, for Mr. Edward Chadwick, of Manchester, is about to test the opinions of the electors in regard to a candidate of advanced Liberalism. NEWARK.— On Monday Mr. P. Handley spoke to the electors, congratulating the people generally on having recovered their ancient franchise; giving in his adherence to Mr. Gladstone, especially on the Irish Church ; pronouncing for the ballot, and ex pressing an opinion in favour of arbitration for the settlement of trade disputes. NOTTINGHAM.—The extreme Liberal candidate, Mr. Merriman, in the prosecution of his canvass, addressed a meeting of the electors on Monday night, and gave a full exposition of his opinions, comprehending the abolition of all monopolies in Church and State, a Reform of the recent Reform Act, the ballot, and the disestablishment and disen dowment of the Irish Church. PRESTON.—The Conservative candidate, Captain German, has retired from the contest for this borough ; and Lord Edward Howard and Mr. Leese, the Liberal aspirants, have at present the field to themselves, and have coalesced. STOKE - ON-TRENT.—Messrs. Melly and Roden, the Liberal candidates, addressed a large meeting of electors at Longton on Monday evening, and were received with much heartiness. The hon. gentle men entered fully into an explanation of their views, which are those of the advanced Liberal school, and they were frequently applauded while speaking. A resolution was passed unani mously, and with cheers, declaring them to be fit and proper persons to represent the borough, and pledging the meeting to do all in its power to secure their return. It is now stated that Mr. C. M. Campbell has at last been prevailed upon to come forward in the Conservative interest. WHITBY.—A large meeting of the Working Men's Association has been held in this borough for the purpose of promoting the return of Mr. W. 11. Gladstone, now member for Chester. The pro ceedings were characterised by great unanimity and fervour, and it was determined that every effort should be made to carry out the object for which it should be convened. TOWER HAMLETS.—Last evening Mr. Samuda, one of the Liberal candidates for this borough, met a very large assembly of the constituency in a room in the shipbuilding yard of Messrs. Green, at Poplar. In a full address he expounded his prin ciples, which his course in Parliament as member for Tavistock since 1865 has made sufficiently well known. A requisition to Mr. Samuda has been signed by 4,000 electors. The llouse of Lords has sent to the French Senate another collection of public documents, en suite to those previously forwarded. Au exchange of these parliamentary publications has been going on between the two libraries fur thirty years past. The Senate now possesses the Lords' Journals up to 1867 ; also Hansard's reports to the present time, as well as the Statutes at large from the period of Magna Charta to the 31st year of the reign of Queen Victoria. In the Library of the Luxem bourg are likewise to be found the Journals of the House of Commons, 110 volumes in folio, up to 1848, the whole collection of State Trials, and an enormous quantity of sessional papers. On the other hand, the House of Lords is able to consult at any moment the principal collections of the French legislative documents and the minutes of the French Assemblies since 1789—those of the Senate forming 100 volumes ; also, a selection of the great historical publications of France, and many ad ministrative papers deemed worthy of presenta tion. , SSII ISIONS. 47 0 1031 104 i WO 100 all 100 l2i 3 4 6i 61 6S 70 101 103 1043 167 I‘7 1 8 161 17 , 78 62 50 52 38 40 26 26 20 1071 148 14 2 14 2i 105 107 19 101 12 t 3 99 101 91 )3 105 /C 6 100 10'4 95 V 7 83 kt 105 106 100 tlOO 2 100 100 1021 IG3 1(2 1(3 1031 I 1031 n i ar 104 102; Ini 1 THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, 1868.

This was a writ of inquiry, sent down from the Court of Queen's Bench, to assess damages, laid at £5OO, in a breach of promise of marriage case, de fendant having suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. Kemp appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Howard representing defendant, the parties residing at Hitcham, Hertfordshire. When the case was called on, a conference en sued between the learned counsel on each side, and Mr. Howard said that the time taken up had been well employed, for the parties had come to an amicable settlement. ➢lr. Kemp—We have agreed to a verdict for £5O damages. The learned I)..puty (Secondary) said that this was merely a cpurt of inquiry, and the only question was one of damages. Of course as the parties had agreed, the jury would not be troubled to try the case. The jury then formally found a verdict for £5O damages. The jury desired the foreman to forward their fees in this case to the widow of the poor guard Smith who was killed in the late deplorable railway accident. winners extra. Half a mile. TUESDAY.

Eliza Brookes was indicted for stealing a ring and brooch, the property of her master. Mr. Brown, the prosecutor, said the prisoner had been in his service, and on account of certain sus picious circumstances he had had on a former occa sion to charge her with robbery, but he had hitherto forgiven her. The property named in the indictment has since that been stolen. The prisoner was at once suspected and accused of the robbery, which she stoutly denied. A constable was called and she was given into eustody, and on her arrival at the station house she did not 'renew her denial, but said the property had been pawned she believed somewhere in the Edgware-road. In her defence she said the case had been got up against her through spite. Her master had on several occasions attempted certain familiarity, which she always repulsed. On the last occasion he did so he told her if she said anything about it he would punish her, not in the manner he did his apprentices, but in another way, and the pre sent charge was the carrying out of that threat. and the whol e o f th e c h arges Mr. Brown denied that such was the fact. The khitn were tot a lly an d en tirely girlw h s a d s badly made d i a s g p s o i s n e s d t , untrue. _ The prisoner reiterated the accusation. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the learned Judge sentenced her to nine months' im prisonment with hard labour. On hearing the sentence the prisoner exclaimed, "Thank ye, my lord, I can do that, but I shall suffer innocently ; but as for the prosecutor, the lies he has told will be upon him when he dies." POLICE I.NTELLIGENCE.-TillS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Messrs. Pritchard and Collette prosecuted ; the prisoner was not defended. The charge against the prisoner was , th a t h e cashed a cheque at Alderman Allen's on the 22d January, 1866, and that at that time his account was closed. The prosecuting solicitor raid he was unable to go on with the Lord Mayor's case iu consequence of his lordship being out of town, but he was pre pared with another case,. Mr. Reece, of the Medical Hall, Piccadilly, said that while the prisoner was lecturing at Chang's Exhibition, Egyptian Hall, in January, 1856, th. 3 prisoner brought him a cheque on the Lyndon and County Bank, and, believing he had an account at the bank, he cashed it for him. Subsequently, however, the cheque was nturned to him marked " No account." The prisoner said he should be able to show that he had an account at the bank at the time. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner would be re manded for a week. The prisoner asked that bail might be taken. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should certainly refuse bail, as he believed there were other charges against the prisoner. THANES. BLUE FIRE AND YELLOW FIRE.—Two men, named George Cussey and Edward Blainey, were charged by the police w i t h l et ti ng o ff an d ex hibiti ng blue fire and yellow fi re i n t h e Mil e - en d -roa d . Cussey said he had been to a bean feast with his workmates, and, on their return from the country, he let off a little blue fire, which had no gunpowder in it, and was not a firework. Mr. Benson held that blue-fire was a firework, although there was no gunpowder in its composi tion. Devices in fireworks were made without gun powder. Squibs, crackers, and other things con- , tained gunpowder. The exhibition of blue-fire from vans and other vehicles on the public roads was attended with danger. Horses were frightened and people alarmed. He must fine the defendant 2s. 6d. and 2s. costs. Blainey said he exhibited yellow fire, which was a chemical mixture, and contained no gunpowder. Mr. Benson—lt comes under the description of fireworks. You are fined 2s. 61 and 2s. costs. Don't do that again. The fines were paillf you do the fine will be a heavy one, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. GRAVESEND, Wednesday Morning.

THE AMERICAN CHALLENGE YACHT RACE. RYDE, Tuesday Evening. The great challenge race between the American yacht Sappho and English' yachts took place to-day. There was a fine breeze. The American yacht carried away her jib boom when off Ventnor. She had no chance from the beginning. The Alino held a leading position for a long time. The Omaira then gradually overhauled and led. Round the Needles she was some distance ahead. In sailing up the Solent the Cambria passed the other yachts and came in first, the time being:— H. M. s.

Saturday was the last day for serving notices of claims for the franchise under the new Act. In this city the entire number of claims sent in, both of the claimants under £4 and of those claiming as lodgers, is for the Liberals 4,337. The Conserva tive claims amount in all to 1,600, giving the Liberals a majority of 2,787. Thus, if the Libe rals only sustain half of their claims, and the Conservatives succeed in registering all of theirs, the former will still have a majority of 600 on the whole of the new votes. Of course it is far more likely that the voters registered on both sides will be proportioned to the claims. At the election for the city in 1859, when the highest number of votes polled was 4,251, Sir Ed ward Grogan had a majority of only 275 votes over Mr. Brady, and Mr. Vance a majority of 343 over Mr. M'Carthy, notwithstanding that 1,800 freemen voted for the Tory candidates. From this it will be seen that the new franchise will place the return of two Liberals for the Irish metropolis beyond doubt. A meeting of the proprietors of the National Bank was held yesterday in the city of Cork, for the purpose of taking into consideration the reve lations made at the recent trial of " APlienna v. Usborne," in connection with the " floating " of certain unprofitable schemes through the agency of the bank. About fifty proprietors were present, and the proceedings lasted two hours. A resolution was passed pledging the proprietors not to disclose the business of the meeting. All that is known is that a committee was formed to organise the share holders in Ireland with a view to the adoption of measures to procure a reform in the board of directors. The following are the circumstances connected with the murder at Chapelizod, the fact of which was telegraphed yesterday. It appears that a Mr. James Metcalf was placed in charge of the " King's House," Chapelizod, by the Lord Chan cellor, to take care of it for a Miss Lawler, a lady of imbecile mind, who is possessed of considerable property. A Mr. Peter Joseph Dawson, a near re lative of Miss Lawler's, would seem to have taken umbrage at this appointment, and to have considered that he was better entitled to the charge. Ile visited the house on several occasions, and gave expression to threats against Mr. Metcalf, whom he ordered to leave the place. On Sunday after noon, between the hours of four and five o'clock, he was seen approaching the house with something like a bludgeon in his hand. Mr. Metcalf imme diately locked the doors and barred the windows to prevent his gaining admission. By some means he effected an entrance, and proceeded to the room in which Mr. Metcalf and his wife were. On approach ing Mr. Metcalf he said, " What, are you here still ?" " Yes," replied Mr. Metcalf ; whereupon Dawson raised the weapon which he carried, and struck him a violent blown on the head, felling him to the floor. He then left the house ; and Mrs. Metcalf, finding her husband still insensible, sent for medical assistance, and called for the police. Police-constable Ford, 129 D, immediately got upon au outside car and drove towards Dublin. After a short time he came up with Dawson, and with great presence of mind he waited until he was close abreast of him before he made any attempt to arrest him. When he came close upon Dawson he leaped off the car, seized him with one hand and wrested the bludgeon from him with the other, and took him prisoner. The bludgeon turned out to be the lancewood butt of a fif3hing-rod of very con siderable weight, and about 2 feet 10 inches in length. Ford brought his prisoner to Bride well-lane Police Station, and in the course of an hour Mr. Metcalf caine into town for the pur pose of preferring the charge against him. At the station he fainted, and had to be conveyed to Rich mond Hospital, where he died during the night. Dr. White, one of the city coroners, held an inquest on the body yesterday afternoon, when a verdict of wilful murder was returned against Dawson, who was consequently committed upon the coroner's warrant to take his trial at the next commission. The funeral of the late Alderman Reynolds took place yesterday at Glasnevin, and was largely attended by the members of the corporation and the citizeio generally. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. —This Day.
