Advices from San Francisco, to July 14, state that though the new crop of wheat was coming in sparingly, it was of better quality than the average of past seasons, and considerably greater as the result of the largely increased breadth of land under cultivation. There had been a good demand from Australia, to which 5,000 t ons o f s hi pp i ng h ad been despatched with cargoes, and, with the portion yet to go, 25,000 tons would altogether have been sent since the Ist April. The Australian demand, however, was nearly satisfied ; and the Californians were beginning to look to the United Kingdom and to France for mar kets for their supplies. Farmers and shippers were alike being ur g ed by the merca n til e commun i ty to encourage the trade by mutual concessions. A dozen vessels were expected to be despatched in August. _ The biddings for bills on India took place yester day at the Bank of England.

The depression of business on the Stock Exchange is unabated, and it has further prejudiced operations in the Funds and in several Foreign Stocks. hallways, however, are, for the time, less under this particular influence, the meetings of the Metropolitan and Mid land Companies being rega r d e d as sa ti s f ac t ory , w hil e the dividend of the South-Eastern Company has strengthened holders.

Mr. Bacon thanked the magistrate and retired. THAMES. A boy, who gave the name of Thomas Pitt, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stone throwing. A gentleman named George Jeffries, whose mouth was bleeding, and who was in considerable pain, said that a few minutes ago he was passing the end of Lucas-street, Commercial-road, and saw the prisoner and another boy throwing stones at each other. One of the stones hit him in the mouth. The prisoner, in defence, said that another boy was about to throw a stone at him, and he took it away and " chucked" it from him, and it struck the gentleman. Mr. Paget said that stone throwing in the public streets was a dangerous nuisance, and fined the prisoner 55., and in default of payment seven days' imprisonment. PARENTAL NEGLECT.—Barry Efford, aged 14 years, was brought b e f ore M r. P aget c h arge d w i t h stealing 7s. Gd., the monies of his father James Efford, a shoemaker of Calvary-street, Stepney. The prosec u t or sa id t h at h i s son was a very wicked boy, whose bad character was proverbial in the neighbourhood, and that on Tuesday morning last he took a waistcoat from under his (the father's) pillow, and stole 7s. Gd. from one of the pockets. He did not see his boy again until yesterday, and then he gave him into custody. He had recently made a pair of boots for his son, and he had sold them and bought the old pair he was wearing. He wished his son to be sent to a reformatory. Mr. Paget said the prosecutor had brought his son to that court to be relieved of the burthen of maintaining him, and wished to set aside the great law of nature, and the laws of the country, which declared that every man should support his own offspring. He would not relieve the prosecutor in the way he desired, but send the boy to prison and to hard labour for 14 days. The father was answerable for the bad conduct of his son. If he had brought him up in a proper manner he would not have turned out dishonest. A man at the back of the Court here suggested that the prisoner was not the prosecutor's own son, or he would not have prosecuted him. Mr. Paget—A good suggestion. Is this your stepson ? The prosecutor—No ; my own son, born in law ful wedlock. The man at the back of the Court—Shameful .t is a disgrace to you. The Prosecutor--I don't see that at all. MARKETS-71118 DAY.

Bacon, plumber, &c., of No. 28, Church-street, Soho, and No. 16, Tower-street, St. Martin's-lane, the landlord of Mr. Finlen, a well known attendant at public meetings, waited upon Mr. Knox this morning and said :—Your worship, I want to know what lam to do. You granted me a warrant, you may remember, to get rid of Finlen, and I want you to put it into execution. The broker has been into Finlen's place, and has valued his furniture at 25., there being nothing in the place but an old mattress, a cover, and a dish. When the doctor made his statement to you he said there was a bed in the place, but he made a mis take, as it's only an old mattress, and the broker says it's not worth taking away. Finlen told my missus that he would bring 100 persons and take the place by storm, and my missus told him that if he did she would let them have a pail of water over them, and that she was not afraid of them. Half a dozen men did come, and my mi ssus told them that she was not afraid of them, and that if they were not off like a shot she would let them have what she had promised them, and they would have had it too, for when my missus promises a thing she means it. I went to bed that night, and on getting up at a very early hour and going down stairs I found my missus sitting in the passage with a pail of water by her side. I said, " Well, missus, what are you waiting for ?" "Oh," says she, "Ifor Mr. Finlen and the Fenians." I then said, " What's that pail of water for ?" and she says, " For the Fenians." He told her to go to bed and not mind Mr. Finleu and his friends, and she did so. The policeman on going into Fiulen's room found that one of the notices served on him had been torn to pieces. All I want is to get rid of my lodger, who still holds poss ess i on . _ _ THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 20, 1868. S T. CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE CHARGE AGAINST MADAME RACHEL. done. - Sarah Rachel Leverson, 43, married, was in dicted for unlawfully obtaining by false pre tences from Mary Hicker Borradaile £1,400 with intent to defraud ; she also stood indicted with conspiring with intent to obtain £3,000 from the same person. Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. Montague Williams, and Mr. Straight prosecuted; and Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., Sergeant Parry, Sergeant Sleigh, and Mr. Butler Rigby defended the prisoner. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said the actual nature of the charge was that of obtaining from time to time between July and Dec., 1866, divers sums of money and valuable securities, and for conspiring with other parties in defrauding Mrs. Borradaile. The complainant was a lady of very respectable position, and the widow of an officer. She was no doubt guilty of fully and vanity, but the person at the bar had preyed upon her weakness. The pri -121 soner was an illiterate person, not being able either to read or write, and about three or four years ago a shop was obtained for her in New Band-street. Madame Rachel placed the royal arms over the door. It professed to be a perfumer's shop; but from the advertisements about soap and powder— (laughter)—which appeared in the papers, it was the profession of the prisoner to make ladies "Beautiful for ever." Mrs. Borradaile seeing these advertisements went to the prisoner for the purpose of improving her personal appearance, and finding Madame Rachel an extremely agreeable person she visited her very frequently, and ultimately it was told her it would take £l,OOO to effect a perina nent change for the better in her personal appear ance. Mrs. Borradaile objected to pay so large a sum, when she was told that Lord Ranelagh had fallen desperately in love with her, and this tale had the desired effect, as Mrs. Borradaile at once parted with the large sum of money, on the under standing that sbe was to be the wife of Lord Ranelagh. Madame Rachel was very anxious to keep Mrs. Borradaile from all persons who would be likely to expose the tricks that were being carried on, and she accordingly introduced her to her own solicitor, who was entrusted with the documents to raise the requisite sums of money. A receipt was read by the learned Sergeant, written by Mrs. Borradaile and signed by Madame Rachel, which stated that the sums of money received were for toilet requisites, bath preparations, soap, &c., until she was finished. (Laughter.) The name of Lord Ranelagh was constantly kept prominently before the prosecutrix, and she was introduced to a person whom she believed was Lord Ranelagh ; but as long as Mrs. Borradaile was in the possession of any property she was not let go by Madame Rachel. Whilst Mrs. Borradaile had a ring on her finger, a guinea in her pocket, or a shift to her back, Madame Rachel preyed upon her credulity. Letters were received by her purporting to come from Lord Ranelagh, all of which were written in the most outrageous terms, but having been defrauded of all her property the whole transaction exploded. Ho need hardly tell them that Lord Ranelagh's name had been imported into the case without his having the slightest know ledge that it had been done. He should call his lordship, who would indignantly deny all knowledge of the transaction, and he felt sure the jury would pronounce a verdict which would rid London of one of its foulest stains. Mrs. Borradaile, the prosecutrix, was then called and examined by Mr Montague Williams—She said that she was the widow of an officer, Col. Borra daile, and that in 1864 she first went to Madame Rachel, and on first going she (prisoner) asked her how much she was going to spend. She said about £lO, and then she received a packet of powder to put into the water on taking her bath. Between the years 1864 and 1865 she had parted with £l7O to Madame Rachel. She, however, continued to visit the prisoner's establishment, when in 1866 the prisoner told her Lord Ranelagh had fallen despe rately in love with her. She said she did not know him, but the prisoner told her that his lordship was well acquainted with her, that he was very rich, and would make her a good husband. She thought that if she could get Lord Ranelagh for her husband it would be a good thing for her daughter. Rachel told her that Lord Ranelagli had " fancied" her, and that she would suit him. After this Rachel told her that she must be made " beautiful," or Lord Rauelagh would be lost to her. Rachel told her the cost would be £l,OOO. At the time she (prosecutrix) had money in the funds ; and shortly after Madame Rachel took her to a Mr. Haynes, a solicitor in the city. She went to the city to sell out stock to the amount of £1,300. This was done, but at a loss. She gave Mr. Haynes an order to hand £BOO of the money -1963 2s. 101—over to Ma dame Rachel. The order to pay the money was signed by me in Mr. Haynes's office. She had received no consideration whatever for the £BOO. Madame Rachel told her she was to be mar ried to Lord Ranelagh by proxy. (Laughter.) She asked what that meant, and she was told "by letter writing." (Laughter.) She received some letters signed " William," and Madame Rachel told her they came froin Lord Ranelagh. When she gave her the letter commencing " My own dearly beloved Mary," she gave her a pencil case and scent box, which she said originally belonged to Lord Rane lagh's mother. By the advice of Madame Rachel she changed her solicitors (Messrs. Lewis and Lewis), but that was not until after she had parted with all her property. She invariably received all her letters from Madame Rachel, and she believed they came from Lord Ranelagh. When she asked why they were signed " William " and " Edward," when Lord Ranelagh's name was " Thomas," Rachel told her it was a matter of precaution. A number of letters received by the prosecutrix, all breathing ardent love, were here read, which she always believed came from Lord Ranelagh. Examination continued—All the answers to these letters were written by her, but were dictated by Madame Rachel. They were directed from Madame Rachel's shop. Madame Rachel told her she would require a quantity of lace, and she introduced her to a Mr. Bower, to whom an order was given for between £3OO and £4OO worth. The lace was sent to Madame Rachel. She (witness) never re ceived a single inch of it. She was arrested for the amount of the bill, and had to pay it. Eventually Madame Rachel told her that she had pawned the lace for Lord Ranelagh. She also told her it was necessary she should have diamonds, and sent for Mr. Pyke, a jeweller, who bought a quantity of diamonds set as a coronet and necklace, to Madame Rachel's house. Madame Rachel placed them on her head, and asked her how she liked them. The price was £1,200, but at that time she had not the money ; but she had some property at Streatham, and Madame Rachel took her to Mr. Haynes to em power her to dispose of it. The property realised 11,540, £1,400 of which she ordered Mr. Haynes to pay Madame Rachel. After the property had been sold, Rachel told her Lord Ranelagh would not allow her to have the diamonds from Mr. Pyke, and she had to pay £lOO to Mr. Pyke as a forfeiture for not purchasing them. After that Madame Rachel asked her whether she would allow her to pay the £1,400 to " Captain William Edwards." She gave her consent to such being done. " Captain Ed wards" was the name she knew Lord Ranelagh by. The money Rachel said had been paid to him for Volunteering purposes. She had, after she had given Madame Rachel the £1,400, given her addi tional small sums of money, always believing it was for Lord Ranelagh. The Recorder—Did she tell you who she wanted the money for ? Mrs. Borradaile—Yes; it was always for Lord Ranelagh. The double screw gunvessol Lapwing, 3, from Ireland, was removed on Tuesday from Plymouth Sound to Devonport dock/ard, in order to have her bottom examined. The Urgent, 4, 1,981 tons, 400-horse power, Capt. S. H. Henderson, left Gravesend yesterday for the Cape of Good Hope, with a detachment of the 99th Regiment on board. She will also embark a draught of the 2d battalion of the 20th Regiment from Shorncliffo, at Dover to-day, for conveyance to the Cape, to join the service companies of the regiment. The ironclad frigate, Hercules, 12, 5,324 tons, 1,200-horse power (nominal), is being rapidly pre pared for sea in Chatham harbour, near Gillingham reach, where she is being brought forward with all possible despatch. The double screw wooien gunvessel 'Woodlark, 3, IGO-horse power, building beneath No. 2 shed at Chatham, has had nearly the whole of the hands withdrawn from her in order to expedite the com pletion of the ironclad ships Hercules and Monarch, or for employment on board the recently com menced armour-clad shwa Sultan and Glatton. Her Majesty's twin screw gunboat Curlew was to be launched from Deptford dockyard at half-past 2 to-day. The paddlewheel steamer Terrible, Capt. Goode, Arrived at Spithead yesterday Aftez A cruise, ExaMination continued—Madame Rachel told her she would require a trousseau for the marriage, and Mr. Procter, of Brompton, brought what was required, for which she paid £l6O. She never received one single article, and when she asked Madame Rachel about it, and bow she was to do the thing, Rachel always told her to ask dear William for them. Rachel induced her to send for her plate from Cheltenham, and t 9 bring it to her bowie, 4,4 she Mid IM•1•111, .1••••=0.16.1. it was better that every thing should be together—(laughter)—as she W2S going to b 3 mar ried. She had also given her all her rin gs and jewellery- "to pack" with the other things, but she had never seen them after she had. once parted with them. She had frequently askediVladatne Rachel about them, but never could get any other answer than that she was to ask Lord Ranelagh for them. On one occasion when eke was at Lachers shop, Rachel brought her a lighted cigar, which she said was Lord Ranelagh's, and she told her his love was as warm as his cigar. (Laughter.) She subsequently executed a bond to the =mint ' of £1,600, as Madame Rachel had told her she had given all her money to Lord Ranelagh, and that money was required for making her beautiful for ever. (Laughter.) She was arms. bed in the month of December, after she had executed the bond. Madame Rachel came to see her in pri son ; whilst there she executed another doeumen at Rachel's suggestion in order to get released.

A delay of fully fifteen minutes occurred at the post, owing to the fractiousness of the Vouralak col; but even tually the flag was lowered to a moderato start, the Lady Audley filly immediately taking up the running, with a slight advantage of Wail is, Vespasian going on third, with Vouralak colt fourth, Tynedale being a long way in the rear. The Lady Audley filly and Wailes entered the bend for home abreast of each other, the favourite still lying third. About a quarter of a mile from ho me, the Lady Au Hey fitly was iu and the favourite drew up to WalThs, heading him outside the distance, where Honesty ran into second place. Vespasian then , drew gradually ahead, and won in the commonest of canters by fifteen lengths, the remainder pulling up when pursuit was hopeless. The Lady Audley filly finished half a length in front of Waffles, Tynedale was fourth, Honesty fifth, the Vouralak colt sixth, whilst Cawnpore and the Rambling Katie colt did not pass the post.

Immediately the flag was lowered Quality took up the running, leading at a moderate pace with a slight advantage of Maesllwch, Harebell, and Leouio, the favourite being succeeded by Lady Highthorn and Mysotis, and the rear being brought up by Bessie Dixon, who appeared unable to live at even the moderate pace. After about a hundred yards had been covered Quality dropped back, and the command was taken by Maesllwch, who had in attendance Harebell, Leonie being some distance in the rear of the latter, with Quality at her quarters, Lady Highthorn and Frolicsome succeed ing, and Bessie Dixon dropping still further into the roar. After going about a quarter of a mile, Maesllwch drew clear of Harebell, Leonie decreasing the distance between her and Mr. Stewart's filly. As they entered the straight Maesllwch began gradually to draw back to her horses, and about a quarter of a mile from home she was in diffi culties. Leouie then drew to the front, Frolicsome and Mysotis simultaneously taking their places in the van. At the distance the finish was left tothefavourite, Maesllwch, and Mysotis, but Leonia stalling off Mysotis's challenge opposite thestand, won cleverly by a neck.

(Before Mr. Justice Lush.) TIIE MURDER IN NORTON FOLGATE. Alexander Andrew Mackay, 18, labourar, was ndicted for the wilful murder of Emma Grossmith. It will be recollected that the husband of the unfortunate deceased kept an eating house in Artillery Passage, Bishopagate-street, and that the prisoner was in his employ as a sort of general servant. On the Bth of May the deceased woman was found in an insensible state from ex tensive injuries that had been inflicted on her by some person, and the kitchen in which she was dis covered was in many places covered with blood. The blows, it was supposed, had been inflicted with an iron bar or rolling-pin, and the injured woman lingered in a state of insensibility until the 18th of May, when she died. The prisoner was suspected from the first, as he was not to be found on the return of Mr. Grossmith from market on the day of the outrage. -Dr. Lubuck attended the deceased, and at one time thought she would recover, but such was not the case. The prisoner was then sought for but without success, and although the police had been furnished with a photograph of the prisoner all efforts to discover his hiding were unavailing. In the month of July the prisoner was confined in Maidstone Gaol for some petty offence, under the name of George Jackson, and on the 28th of that month, one of the warders, suspecting the pri soner to be the person accused of murder, asked him his name, when he replied " Jackson." He was closely questioned, and told he was suspected as being the person who stood accused of murdering Mrs. Grossmith, when he confessed that his real name was Alexander Andrew Mackay, and he was accordingly sent to Lnndon to undergo examination. It then appeared that there had been a quarrel between the deceased and the prisoner previous to the committal of the brutal outrage, and from other circumstances be coming known, he was accordingly committed for trial on the capital charge. From the evidence it appeared that fault had been found by the deceased with the prisoner for the manner he did his work and the ill-feeling evidently led to the terrible out rage which terminated in the death of the unfor tunate woman. The case was not concluded when we went to press. FIRE AT NORTHUMBERLAND HOUSE. OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE DAMAGE.

The Price of Gold, The quotation of gold at Paris, is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 251.17jc. per ,Z 1 ste; ling. Un cmnparing these rates with the English Mint price of its. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is at about the same price in Paris and London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' bight was on the last date about 1485 per cent At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United states. MADAME TUSSAUD . S.-0 tie of the latest addi ional models which may be seen at Madame Tessaud'g, Exhibition, Baker-street, is that of Count von Bismarck the Prussian Prime Minister, attired in the splendid uni form of a Prussian general. Most unquestionably' the likeness is admirable. Two labourers employed in digging a well at Rerefay (Saone-et-Loire) were three days back buried in a heap of rubbish at about forty feet from the surface of the ground, in consequence of the shoring giving way. According to the latest accounts they had not been extricated, and little hope was entertained of saving them. Accounts from the south and south-east of France report the occurrence within the last few days of heavy rains, and the great advantage thereby rendered to the vines and green crops.
