NO.NEY MARTiET AND CO n, TNTELLTOR!'-TUF,•: CITY, Two O'CLOCK. That tue bant; oClind is still losing business Owing to the slight demand for money and the com petition of other establishments for the best bills, will appear by the further reduction in the amount of the private securities, which now stand at less than sixteen millions and a half. The repayments under this head have left the reserve with a considerable in crease, after provisions had been made for a diminution in the public deposits, caused by the close of the dividend perjod. It is chiefly owing to dividend pay ments that the bullion shows a moderate falling off, Which, however, leaves the stock in excess of twenty two millions. The following are the principal changes Since the preceding return : Decrease in Circulation.... £416.468 Decrease in Public Deposits Decrease is other Deposits No chanze in amount of Government Securities.

Account, Aug. 6 ALARMING OCCURRENCE AT THE CHARTERED GAS WORKS. Last night, at a few minutes before 12 o'clock, the greatest alarm was caused at the %Vest-end, and also in the City, arising from a vast body of fLune which shot up a considerable distance into the ai r , and completely illuminated the metropolis for seve ral minutes. It appears that a quantity of gas bad escaped from the tube of one of the large gasholders, and the vapour rolled in immense volumes into the furnace, and the same becoming ignited sent forth the flames so high as to be seen all over London. By great perseverance on the part of all present the further escape of gas was stopped, and no fur ther loss occurred. WESTMINSTER OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL. At the annual meeting of the governors and friends of this hospital, which was held yesterday at the institution, King William-street, Charing-cross, the Marquis of Westminster, K.G., presiding, the reports of the medical staff, of the managing com mittee, and of the treasurer were presented. From these documents it appears that since the founda tion of the ;institution in the year 1816, to. the Ist of January, 1868, 197,766 persons have availed themselves of its benefits. Of these, 3,676 have been operated upon for cataract and for the for mation of an artificial pupil ; the sight as well as the personal appearance of 11,485 persons has been improved by the operation for squinting. During the whole time the practice of the hospital has been open to medical officers of the public service, and to students desirous of acquiring information in the study of so important a branch of medical science as ophthalmic diseases. The hospital contains eight wards with complete accommodations for 33 in patients. During the past year 8,297 persons (new cases) were received as patients under the care of the medical officers. The number of operations performed on the in-patients were 206 ; on the out-patients, 524 ; making a total of 730 principal operations. The expense of supporting the hospital for the year 1867 has been £2,011 16s. 0/d. ; the receipts, £1,797 15s. 11d. ; leaving a deficit of £244 Os. lid. to be provided for. The expenses incurred during the past year were peculiarly heavy from causes over which the committee could exercise no control. One of these was the continued high prices of pro visions, which were greater in 1867 than in 1866. But the heaviest items of extra expenditure were connected with the repairs of the building, which could no longer be neglected without serious dan ger ensuing, ,which would cause still greater ex penses hereafter. The large sum of £BOO was laid out for this purpose alone. The grounds upon which the committee of management ask for help arestrong, urgent, and numerous; for the usefulness of the institution is not confined to the metropolis, as patients are received from al! parts of the United Kingdom ; and it was this institution which first setithe:example of admitting the poor on their own application. The committee acknowledge most thankfully the following legacies :--£lOO from the late Mr. Lewis Powell, M.D., and £5O Con sols from the late Mr. Alexander Brodie. The several reports were read and adopted. Special thanks were passed to the Ladies' Committee for their co-operation in carrying out and directing the domestic affairs of the hospital. The usual resolutions for the re-appointment of the different committees for the ensuing year having been agreed to, the noble marquis, as president of the hospital, expressed his satisfaction at the-benefits which had been conferred on numbers of the poor and afflicted by the timely aid afforded by the hospital. and but for which they would have been thrown upon their respective parishes blind and unable to earn a sub• sistence. TOWER HAMLETS.--A public meeting was held last night at the Barlett Tavern, Burdett-road, Mile-end, for the purpose of promoting the election of Mr. Edmond Beales, President of tho Reform League. Mr. W. Davis, a vestryman, took the chair, and a resolution was passed to the effect that Mr. Beales should be carried through the election free of all cost. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday Mr. Hurt, of Alderweslee, near Derby, sent a man with two horses and a cart to Whitstandwell-bridge station. He incau tiously left the horses for a few minutes, and they strayed on the railway. At this time the 10.40 express train from Manchester was due, and the engine driver was unable to see the horses owing to a sharp turn in the line. As soon, however, as he caught sight of them, observing that it was no use trying to stop the train, he put on extra steam, and smashed right through both horses and cart, killing the former and shattering the latter into a thousand pieces. Singular to state, the express did not receive the slightest injury. HARVEST PROSPECTS IN TURKEY. —Ad vices from Macedonia report very favourably of the coming crops. It is estimated that the corn crop will be a third more abun dant than last year, yielding altogether about a million kilcs. The silk crop als) promises excellently, and will give, it is reckoned, about 1,300,000 okes. The olive oil produce is calculated to yield . nearly 3,000,000 okos. Al together, the prospects of the season, both for the Trea sury and the farmers are nusually good.—Levant/Jerald.

(.7_ , ,DAAN AND lir s IV ATe —Elinbeth .sore, an unfortunat; was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing the watch of William Coxhill, a cabman. The prosecutor said that while having something to drink yesterday evening at a public-house in Grosvenor-street, the prisoner asked him to give her something to drink, and he did so, and then left the house. A few minutes after, while going along Grosvenor-street, hearing a cry of " cab," and thinking it was some one who wanted to be come his fare, he pulled up and got down, and while opening the door, the prisoner, whom he reelgnised as the woman he had shortly before treated, stole his watch, of the value of £3. On charging her with having it she denied it, but it was found upon her at the station. Mrs. Charlotte Cane, female searcher to the C division of police, proved finding the watch on the prisoner. In answer to Mr. Knox, the gaoler, Barns, said that the prisoner had several times been charged at that court with drunken and disorderly conduct, but he did not think there were any convictions for felony against her. Police-constable Travers, 65 C, said that when the prisoner, who had been drinking, was given into his custoly she denied all kn3wledge of the watch. The prisoner said she had had several glasses with the pros:cutor, but he denied it. The prisoner chose to be tried by the magistrate, and having pleaded guilty; . Mr. Knox committed her for three months with hard labour. JAMES FINLEN'S CHILDREN. - Dr. Conway Evans, officer of health for the Strand district, waited on Mr. Knox this morning in reference to the children of James Finlen, of No. 9, Prince's-row, Newport market, in consequence of a request which appeared in the morning papers of to-day. - Dr. Conifay Evans said he had visited the room, and found 'nothing but a bed in it. He found three boys in the room, whose ages were be between five and nine. They were apparently well nourished, but only half clad, and were greatly de pendent upon the kindness of a lodger in the house. As far as the landlord of the house was concerned the place was in a clean condition as far as the walls and ceiling were concerned, but the floor was in a filthy state, which was due to the negligence of the occupant of the room, and not to the land lord. He ascertained that Finlen was by trade a French polisher, but had done no , work for some time, and was in the habit of going about to meetings and coming home at three o'clock in the morning. He also was informed that Fiulen's wife was in a lunatic asylum, and that he did not provide anyone to look after the children. Mr. Knox asked Dr. Conway Evans whether there was anything in the room likely to generate disease. Dr. Conway said there was not. All he should call on the landlord to do was co thoroughly cleanse the room. Mr. Knox said' that after hearing Dr. Conway Evans all he could do would be to advise the land lord to take the usual steps through a broker to get rid of the parties, so that the place might be cleansed. WESTMINSTER. AN LIPUDENT BEGGAR. —A dirty-looking fellow, who gave the name of John Williams, was charged with begging and conducting himself in a most in solent manner to a gentleman who refused to re 101i I lieve him. Mr. George Henry Lillywhite was stand ingw last evening with my wife and daughte r i n th e King's-road, Chelsea, when the defendant came up and behaved in a most offensive way. He said, " Give me money." I replied that 1 bad no half pence, and then he insulted my mother. He told her he had seen a great many like her about; and on - my asking him what he meant, Iv said he would punch my head. Mr. Selfe--Vould you have given him money i you had had any halfpence ? Complainant—l might have done so. Mr. Selfe—Don't do so. An archbishop is said to have observed that he thanked God he never gave a beggar a penny in his life. Complainant---He smelt of liquor, which is, per haps, a reason why I should not have done so. Defendant—l hope you will let me go. I only asked the gentleman if he wanted some plant tin for his hand. - lam very sorry. I won't do it again if you'll let me off now. Mr. Selfe—That, I am sure; I shall not do. I never overlook such Conduct as Yours. You are committed for 14 days. of the course adopted by Mr. Sicilian in taking out warrants against the only persons who could have been witnesses for James Daglish. Mr. Benson sail that the fight was not a fair one, nor according to the custom of the country. After beating Blackburn for some time, the de fendant, James Daglish, inflicted most unnecessary punishment, and trampled upon him, which was very brutal. He must convict James Daglish on the score of excessive violence. He was of opinion that James Daglish had committed a most un-English and brutal assault on Blackburn, and he sentenced him to 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour. He had some doubts about Fanny Daglish and Beattie, and the part they took in the outrage, and they would be discharged. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING.

THE INDIAN BUDGET. Sir S. NORTLICO I.E gave notice of his intention to introduce the Indian Budget on Monday next, and also tuat he did not intend to proceed further with the two bills to improve the government of India during the pre sent session. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL. The house then proceeded to the further Consideration of this bill. Amendments were agreed to extending the bill to Ireland. Mr. LOWTHER moved an addition to clause 43, to the effect that if after a previous conviction before an election committee any canvasser or agent should obtain such employment at another election he should be deemed guilty of misdemeanour. The SOLICITOR-GENERIL opposed the clause, as he considered it unjust and too severe. Sergeant GASELEE did not think that it was so. There ware plenty of those fellows always prowling about to get hold of innocent candidates. (Laughter.) Young men fresh from Oxford, who no doubt thought they would one day become Prime Minister, went innocently to con test an election; they were got hold of by one of those fel lows, and consequently were to be disqualified for 7 years from sitting in that house, whilst the other party got off free. He did not believe the amendment was unjust, be cause every'tiine a person committed an offenco, he was liable to punishment of an increased severity, and very properly so. (Laugiiter.) Heloped the house would dis agree with the opinion of the Solicitor-General and adopt the amendment. The house divided, wlOn there appeared— For the alneuduient 92 Against it Majority agatust the anieuduxont --13 Mr. FAWCETT then moved that the following words be added to the clause he had succeeded in inserting in the bill throwing the expenses of the returning officer on the ratepayers: -" That it shill not be lawful for any person to be nominated as a candidate at any such election, unless he or some person in his behalf shall have paid to the re turning officer the sum of £lOO, to be applied in the following manner (that is to say): where a poll shall take place at any such election, the returning officer shall apply the moneys so paid to him by any such candidate who shall not, at the close of the poll, have received a number of votes equal at least toone-fifth part of the votes received by the successful candidate, if only one, or by such one of the successful candidates if there shall be more than one, as shall have received the smallest number of votes, in and towards defraying the lawful expenses of the returning officer relating to such election; andafter any such election the returning officer shall forthwith repay to any such candidate who shall have been declared elected without a poll, or who, whether declared elected or not, shall have received a number of votes equal at least to such fifth part, the moneys so paid by or for him as aforesaid." de said the house having on a former occasion accepted his proposal of making the ratepiyers liable for the ex penses of the returning officer, he thought that it was but right that soma guarantee should be taken that no candidate net having a prospect of being elected should come forward merely for a Party purpose. He was not at all indisposed to alter the a nortat of money to be depo sited or to the sum to be deducted from the deposit for hustings expenses. Sir M. LOPES thought the sum to bo deposited alto gether too small ; 1i proposed that the sum to be deposited be for counties £3OO, and £l5O for boroughs. Mr. BEAUAIONT moved, as an au Sad to Mr. Fawcett's proposed new clause, to leave out all after "that," and insert " the proposer and seconder of every can didate whoshall not have p )(led one-fifth of the total number of electors voting at any election for a county or a borough shall be liable (in the same way as if this act had not passed) for his share of the expenses lawfully incurred by the re turning officers for the provision of hustings, poll clerks, polling booths or rooms, Or any other requisites for the conduct of the election, and the proposer and seconder of every absent candidate shall be liable for the same ex penses." After a short discussion, Mr. FAWCETT withdrew his proviso in favour of the amendment of the hoa. member for Northurnberlaad. Mr. LOWTHER thought that without they made the proportion one-third instead of one-fifth of the votes, it would be no guarantee that " straw" candidates would not be started. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the proposal was utterly inoperative, as it woull not in the least degree prevent "straw" candidates gcdrig tl s to poll. Mr. HARVEY LEWIS thought it highly objectionable that the expenses of candidates at elections for hustings, &c., should bo put upon ,the ratepayers; and 113 also thought it wrong that a SucCessfuf candidate should be called upon to defray any of the expenses incurred by a man corning forward without the slighost chance of being elected. Mr. LEEMAN thought the most correct way of correct ing the abuse anticipated was to call upon the candidate or his proposer to deposit on the instant a poll was de manded the sum of XlOO for a borough and £2OO for a county, and such money to be applied by the returning officer to the expenses of the election, provided such candidate has not polled one-fifth of the electors. He begged to move an amendment to the amendment to that effect. Mr. HEADLASI hoped the hon. member for York would not persevere with his amendment, as it was precisely to the same effect as that which the hoe. member for Brighton had withdrawn. Mr LEEMAN'S amendment having been withdrawn, the house divided on that moved by Mr. Beaumont, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Majority against • Viscount MILTON then moved a proviso to the clause setting forth the mole of levying the county rate where the county was divided. Tho SOLICITOR-GENEEL.A.L objected to the pro posal. The proviso having been agreed to without a division, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then rose to move that clause 53 D be expunged, the clause moved by Mr Faw cett throwing the expenses of the returning officer on the ratepayers. The honourable and learned gentleman said the question had been so fully discussed and so well ventilated that he need do no more than move that the clause be struck out of the bill, as it was most objectionable that ratepayers Should be called upon to pay the expenses of parlia.mentary candidates. Mr. FAWCETT then proceeded, amidst evident marks of impatience, to address the house in justification of the • couroo hal - srsued, ho at4Jusly THAMES. DASTARDLY OU TRAGE.--James Dag lish, aged 45 years, Fanny Daglish, his wife, 43, and William Beattie, 49, were brought before Mr. Benson, on warrants, charged With violently assaulting and wounding Edwin Thomas Blackburn. Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, conducted the prosecu tion; Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended James Daglish only. Mr. Stoddart, in stating the case for the prosecu tion, said he had t:) complain of a murderous outrage committed by James Daglish, with the aid and con nivance of the other prisoners. The complainant was foreman painter to Messrs. Dudgeon and Co., shipbuilders, Isle of Dogs, Pop lar. James Daglish had been in the employ of the same firm, and had lodged in the house of the complainant. The job on which Daglish had been employed >was finished on Saturday night, and there was no further occasion for his services. A few weeks ago a robbery was committed on board a Portuguese corvette in Messrs. Dudgeon's ship building yard. Some ladies' shawls were stolen out of a cabin where Daglish and two others were employed painting. An inquiry was in stituted by an inspector of police, and the com plainant brought forward Daglish before the in spector as one of the men who had been in the cabin. Daglish was very spiteful after this, an noyed Blackburn, and threatened to serve him out before he and his wife sailed for Canada, which was to have taken place on Wednesday. On Tuesday 'night, soon after eight o'clock, the corn .plainant left off work, and went into the Builders Arms' public-house, Stebondale_etreet, Cubitt-town, Poplar, and was standing in front of the bar when the prisoners came in, and some words passed • between the complainant and James Daglish, and Blackburn certainly told the prisciner lie was a shabby fellow. Daglish made some reply, and then commenced a murderous at tack on Thackburn, whom he beat in a terrible man ner over the head, face, eyes, and body, got him down, trode upon him, and jumped on hi s b o d y. Mr. Daglish hit the complainant on the corner of the eye with a key, and Beattie held him down while James Daglish was pummelling him. The complainant was most dreadfully maltreated, both eyes were blackened and swollen, his mouth cut, his head bruised, and his body covered with contusions. The complainant had been under medical treatment ever since he had been so dreadfully beaten, and he could not reach the court in time on Wednesday morning to prefer the charge against the defendant, who, upon a representation to Mr. Young that there had only been a fair fight between them, the parties were liberated on bail. He (Mr. Stoddart) afterwards applied for warrants against the three prisoners, and the magistrate granted them. The complainant, who was tolerably punished, and several other witnesses, made out the case as stated by Mr. Stoddart. Mr. Carline, the landlord of the Builders' Arms, who wituessed the assault, said that he interfered and dragged the complainant into the bar, or he would have been murdered. Daglish held the com plainant by the hair of the head while he struck him. Mr. Charles Young, in defence, and after a long cross-examination of the witness, said that Black burn gave the first offence, and fought with James Daglish, and although he was not engaged for the other prisoners, it did appear to him that all they did was to endeavour to separate the combatants. Blackburn found James Daglish too heavy for him, and kid so when the -fight was over; complained demned the stratagems that had been used by the Govern meLt to defeat hint. Thu Houso divilad The nulubor3 For t4o rot. A!._ -, :rtinst it ration c tip-) clan Majority -13 (Cheers). Some amendments which Were then proposed by the Irish Attorney General to extend the bill to Ireland were agreed to. Mr. FAWCETT then gave notice that on the third reading of the bill he should move its recommitment. The Government had resisted the clause because they said it had not been sufficiently discussed. Colonel KNOX - rose to order. The hon. member could not dismiss or enter upon a question on a notice of motion. The SPEAKER ruled that the hon. member for Brighton was out of order. Mr. NE ATE then moved the adjournment of the debate. His hon. friends on the Liberal side of the house were as guilty of connivance et corrupt practices as those on the other side. (Laughter, and oh, oh). He did not wish to include all the Liberal party in that denunciation. His object in moving the adjournment of the debate was that those who wished to introduce purity and economy at Parliamentary elections might have an opportunity of doing so. (Hear, hear, and laughter). Mr. GLADSTONE said ho hoped the hon. member did - not include him in his denunciation. He trusted his hon. friend would not persevere with his motion, because it was desirable not to lose time at this pe led of the session. No one more cordially wished to remedy the evils of our electoral system than he (Mr. Gladstone) did. The'amendment was withdrawn. The 'Whole of the amendments and clauses having been considered, the bill was ()Maned to be read a third time to morrow. In reply to Mr. GILPIN, Mr. DISRAELI said le proposed to take the third reading this (Friday) morning at a two o'clock sitting. The District Church Tithes Act Amendment Bill was read a second time. The Hudson's Bay Company Bill was read a third time, and also St. M•try Somerset's Church (London) Bill. The house suspended its sitting at twenty minutes to seven o'clock. At the evening sitting, The SsE ncER took the chair at nine o'clock. Mr. AYRTON iminediatelY called attention to the fact that there were not 40 members in the house; but, Th 3 SPEAKER intimated that it was usual to wait five minut3s before beginning business. At five minutes ptst nine o'clock the right hon. gentleman proceeded to count, and as there were only 21 members present, the house stood adjourned. Of the 21 honourable members only fivo were on the Liberal benches. The front Ministerial bench was fully occupied. GOODWOOD MEETING. STEWARDS' CUP.
