The firmer tone of the stock Markets which pre vailed more especially during the latter part of yester day, continues. The leading feature is the steadiness of Railway Shares, upon the extraordinary increase in the receipts of nearly all the railways. As compared with 1867, there can be no doubt that the holiday and business traffic of the present season is such as warrant the improved prices. Metropolitan are exceptionally held back by the anticipation that a " bear" organisa tion will succeed for a time in depressing the market. The funds keep quiet. Fo r ei gn St oc ks show little change, though the prices are steady. The Discount Market is extremely easy, at 1/ per cent., or Is per cent. below the Bank rate.

CHARGE OF FRAUD AGAINST A STOCK- BROKER. Yesterday Mr. Frederick Everett, a stockbroker, appeared before the Lord Mayor at the Justice room of the Mansion-house upon a summons, which charged that he on the 16th of July, 1867, unlawfully and knowingly, by certain false pre tences, caused and induced one Mr. Francis Perry to accept a bill of exchange for £23Q ; on the 31st of the same month another bill of exchange for £2OO, and on the 10th of August, 1867, a third bill of exchange for £136 17s. 6d., with intent to de fraud. The defendant was also charged with ob taining by false pretences from Mr. Perry two checks for £7 and £6 14s. 3d., on the 4th Septem ber, 1867. Alderman Sir Robert Carden and Mr. Alderman Couston were also upon the bench. Mr. George Lewis, jitn., solicitor, appeared to prefer the comphint ; and Mr. Ihrdinge Giffard, QC., inztructed by Messrs. Humphreys and Mor gan, solicitors, defended Mr. Everett. The defendant pleaded "Not Guilty." Mr. Lewis, addressing the Bench, s_►id he attended to prosecute Mr. Everett on the charge which had just been read, and certainly if the facts had been stated to him correctly, a very gross fraud had been committed by the dJeudant, wh) was a member of the Stock Exchange and a stock broker. In the middle of last year the complainant, Mr. Perry, was induced to enter into certain specu lations in stocks, and with that view applied to the defendant, who arranged that before he could enter into transactions for him, Mr. Perry should lodge with him £lOO. Upon that the complainant handed him a check for that amount, and again on the 3d of June another check for £lOO, as a margin out of which any loss that might arise on transactions he entered into on his account should be borne. The defendant began at once to speculate, and very shortly afterwards handed to Mr. Perry an account, stating that he had sustained a loss of £157, upon which Mr. Perry gave him a check for that sum. On the 4th and 6th September, 1867, two small checks for £7 and £6 14s. odd were handed by Mr Perry to the defendant, and in July and August of that year three bills of exchange, amounting alto gether to £556 odd. From first to last, indeed, Mr. Perry had handed to the defendant about £l,OOO. Before those bills became due, Mr. Perry had reason to believe that he had been cheated by the defendant, that the accounts the defendant had rendered to him as to the alleged losses were in fact fictitious ; that the transactions had never occurred at all, and that the stock therein represented had never been purchased. At length Mr. Perry applied to him to furnish him with the name of the principal with whom he had had those transactions, but he declined to give the informa tion. Mr. Perry was obliged to bring an action against Mr. Everett with a view to interrogate him in reference to the transactions in question, and in the result a verdict was given for Mr. Perry, the plaintiff, subject to a reference to an arbitrator as to the amount of which he had been defrauded. Mr. Everett, having been interrogated as to who were his principals in the transactions, said he had been dealing with a Mr. T. D., and on being asked who "T. D." was, he replied that he was not a member of the Stock Exchange, but a solicitor's clerk. The fact was that "T. D." was a Thomas Deboos, a clerk to a firm of solicitors in George street, Westminster. On the trial of the action Thomas Deboos,who would have been an important witness for Mr. Everett if the transactions in ques tion had been conducted in good faith, was not forthcoming, and the defendant being cross-exa mined was unable to answer the question as to where he had bought the stock he was alleged to have sold to Mr. Perry on behalf of "r. D." He was also asked if he had ever paid over to " T. I)." Thomas Deboos one shilling of the money he ob tained from Mr. Perry, and he was obliged to say he had not. The fact was, the whole thing was so transparent that the jury eventually found a ver dict in favour of Mr. Perry. That being so, Mr. Perry now appeared before the Lord Mayor to pre fer his complaint in the belief that such transactions could not be carried on in the city of London with impunity. The first witness called was Mr. Francis Perry. He said—l am a commission agent, at 172, Fen church-street, and know the defendant. He is, I believe, a stockbroker. On the 31st of May, 1867, I had a conversation with a Mr. Abetvold, in con sequence of which I handed to him a check on the City Bank for £lOO, to be given to the defendant, and again on the 3d of June another check for £lOO. On the 30th of May I received from the de fendant, through Mr. Abetvold, a memorandum re lating to £5,000 Spanish Passive Stock, alleged to have been bought on my account. It was not a contract note, but merely a memorandum of the transaction. From time to time I received from the defendant down to the 12th of September the bought and sold notes produced, and accounts showing my alleged indebtedness to him on these various transactions through Mr. Abetvold. The first account, dated the 10th of July, 1867, showed a loss of £65 ; the second, on the 15th of July, a loss of £285 2s. 11d. ; the third, on the 31st of July, a loss of £2OO 2s. 7d ; the fourth, on the 10th of August, of £136 17s. 6d. ; the filth, on the 15th of August, a gain of £ll3 Os. 6d. ; the sixth, on the 29th of August, a loss of £l3 45. 2d; the seventh, on the 13th of September, a gain of £57 16s. 3d. ; and the last, ou the Bth of October, a loss of £2B Bs. 9d. On the 27th of June the accounts showed a loss of £l5l 6s. 3d., and I sent the de fendant a check for that amount ou the Alliance Bank. On the 4th and Gth of September I sent him two checks fur £7 and £6 14s. 3d., the account received on the 29th of August showing a loss for those amounts. In consequence of the accounts sent in to me I handed three bills of exchange to Mr. Abetvold for the defendant, one on the 16th of July for £230, another on the 31st of July for £2OO, and a third ou the 10th of August for £136 17s. Gd., all payable at two months. I afterwards consulted Messrs. Lawrence, Hardwick, and Co., solicitors, and gave them certain instructions, and finding that every transaction into which I had entered with the defendant was treated by him as a loss against me, they wrote to the defendant for the name of his principal. In one case only he gave the name. The price of stock would some times vary from 2 to 4 per cent. in the day, but in the defendant's transactions with me the account was in the result closed against me at a great loss. The Lord Mayor, interposing, said the witness must expect to have his accounts sent in at the lowest price of the day. Sir Robert Carden—l should not expect so if I were a principal. Mr. Lewis—My contention is that the alleged transaction never took place. IVitness, continuing—l afterwards, on the advice of my solicitors, brought an action against the de fendant, and under a judge's order obtained an inspection of his books, which was conducted on my behalf by Mr. Killingworth, an accountant. The defendant was also interrogated as to the name of his principal. His reply was that between May, 1867, and the commencement of the action he pur chased for or sold to, and sold for or purchased of a person represented in his books by the initials " T. D.," stocks or shares on behalf of the plaintiff (Mr. Perry), at certain times which he mentioned. He also replied that he had not received from or paid to " T. D." during that period any sum of money on behalf of the plaintiff, but that the trans actions with " T. D." had, with others of a similar nature, not affecting the plaintiff, been settled with T. D." in account current. Ile likewise said that the person represented by the initials " T. D." was Thomas James Deboos, of 23, Hanley-road, Hornsey. I was afterwards informed that Deboos was a lawyer's clerk. I tried to find him at the address given, but could not. When the action was being tried at Guildhall, in the given's Bench before a special jury, I neard the defendant asked. by the judge to point out any transaction in his books relating to the purchase or sale of stock be tween me and Deboos. After an interval of ten minutes be failed to identity any. I think be poiote , i toone transaction, and only one. lle was asked when he las t g.aw ,lieboos, 4110 I Wulf. IN, said .the day before the trial. Deboos was several tines called as a witness, but did not answer. The defendant was asked whether he had paid Deboos any money on these accounts, and he said he had not. He was asked if he had ever sent any contract notes to Deboos in the transactions. He replied in the ne gative. I had previously searched his contract books with Mr. Killingsworth, the accountant, and could find no counterfoil of any such transactions with him. I did not pay the three bills of ex change. I have paid the defendant £370 odd alto gether by check, and a composition on two of the bills. The "T. D." account represents a loss of over £5OO from the end of May until about the beginning of September, including the first two cheques for £lOO each. Being cross-examined by Mr. Giffard, Q.C., wit ness said he had been a commission agent for 10 or 12 years. lie was an agent in this country for his two brothers, one of whom was in Mexico and the other in Australia, in buying and selling produce. Ho had bought and sold stock on speculation. He first began to buy and sell stock about 20 years ago, but had sometimes abstained for an interval of five years. He had been a defaulter in some of his speculations, but he did not believe that the broker had to pay on those occasions. In November last entered into a composition (Ice l. About five years ago he executed a similar deed when he had a partner, or rather an absolute assignment of their whole estate. He was unable to say whether the creditors hal been paid or not ; his impression was that they had not, but he had no means of knowing. Three or four brokers on the Stock Exchange were among the creditors on that occasion. Now that he knew what he did know he did not think that he was indebted to the brokers at all. He believed to a certain extent the same game was played as in this case. He meant that stock purporting to be held for him did not exist. He meant to insinuate that lie had been cheated. The brokers in one case were Messrs. Capper, Es combe, and Lawson, who claimed about £BOO, and in another, Mr. Montefiore, who claimed £4OO or £5OO. Witness did not owe Mr. Galloway any thing. There was another deed of composition in November last. His liabilities, not debts, were then about £7,000, and he had paid the composition of ls. in the pound to those creditors whose claims were undisputed. He concurred in the purchase or sale of stock by Mr. Everett through Mr. Abet vold. Mr. Abetvold was to give him the benefit of his knowledge, advice, and experience, and was to have for his remuneration one-fifth of the profits on the transactions. In May, 1867, he should say he was insolvent, as the result has turned out, taking into account the price of cotton and other produce. It was cotton afloat, and its exact value could not then be estimated, as the prices fluctuated enormously. He had condition ally compounded the debt of Mr. Meugens for about £1,300. That was a cotton transaction, and when cot ton was falling. He thought it was in June, 1867. It was a contingent arrangement with Mr. Men gens, and yet he thought he (witness) was then solvent. Mr. Meugens was to take in lieu of that debt £7O or £BO, and witness was to give him the remainder when prices got better. In the transac tions with the defendant Witness was asked whe ther he would close the stock or continue it. In some instances he elected to continue it, believing the transactions to be bona fide. His present debt to Mr. Meugens was £1,300 odd. About £13,000 or £14,000 was the amount of debt of witness and his partner under the deed of assignment five years ago. They paid as long as they could. The defen dant was liable to be called on to deliver his stock, but this was a speculative transaction and not to be taken up, as he knew. Re-examißed by Mr. Lewis—The fact was that the highest price of the day was put down against him, and he was charged with that. He paid the defendant before making any complaint, believing the bana fides of the transaction. He first com plained about September, but was never satisfied with any explanation he received. He was charged commission, " contangoes," commission on continu ation, and then commission on the sale, and he paid these partly in cash and partly in bills, believing there had been such transactions. Five years ago, when he had a partner, they were carrying on a large business, and no charge of want of honour was made against them. They had been in business 12 or 15 years, and had transactions with some of the first houses in London. The second deed of composition, in November last, was brought about solely by defendant's proceedings on the three bills in question. James Killingsworth, accountant, 3G, Moor gate-street, said he had acted for Mr. Perry under a Judge's order, in investigating an alleged account of purchase and sale of stock between him and "T. D." by the defendant. Among the books he examined some coanterfoils of contracts made by the defendant in his business. He could not find any contract of stock purchased by "T. D." He did not look for any because the defendant's solici tor and accountant said there were none. The de fendant at the trial said that there was no such contract, it not being usual. He investigated an account called the "'l'. D." account in the ledger, made up from the jobbing books. There were many transactions in that account, which did not refer to Mr. Perry. He took from it an account between Mr. Perry and the defendant, showing a total loss to the former, if the account was a fiction, to the amount of £522 odd. £89,620 was the nominal value of the stock purchased, but the cash value was about £34,000. The defendant at the trial said Mr. Deboos was the trustee of his marriage, and that he had seen him last on the previous Saturday. He was asked if he had paid any cash to Deboos. He said he had not, because his books showed that none had passed. I here were three pages in the ledger containing Deboos' account, and there was not a single cash transaction or receipt. The ac count ended with a small balance due to " T. 1)." of £l6, speaking from memory. In the jobbing book of the 30th of May the last entry but one referred to the £5,000 Spanish Passives. The last entry, on the 31st of May, referred to the £l,OOO Tur kish stock, and the initials " T. D." were opposite to it. In cross-examination the witness stated that there were about 60 transactions, purchases and sales together, in which Mr. Everett acted as broker between Mr. Perry and "T. D." There were 180 transactions for Perry altogether. There were many of "T. D.," having no reference to rerry ; they related to matters before and after Perry's transac tions. At this stage Mr. Lewis applied to have the hear ing adjourned, stating that so far the prosecution had not been able to procure the attendance of Mr. Deboos as a witness. Mr. Giffard contended that assuming Deboos and Abetvold could prove all that Mr. Lewis bad alleged. there was no case calling on the defendant for an answer, and that it was incumbent on the prosecutor to show that he had use.' reason able diligence to procure the attendance of his wit nesses. Sometimes an application was made for adjournment in matters of this kind with the view to extort favourable terms, but he believed it was the wish of Mr. Everett, who had been a member of the Stock-Exchange for 20 years, that it should be thoroughly investigated. Mr. Lewis said let no one suppose that this mat ter was going to be compromised, and that the pro secution was not instituted until a verdict had been found in the Court of Queen's Bauch by a special jury that the stock transactions in question were fictitious. Mr. Giffard observed that the prosecution would hear more of that on a future occasion. The Lord Mayor adjourned the inquiry until Monday next, taking, in the meantime, the defen da4s own recOguizauces in £sjo for his appear ance then. The Rev. John Ryan, P.P., of New Inn, Cahir, writes to the Freeman's Journal to state that Mr. William Scully's form of " lease," requiring tenants to pay all the poor rates, is " not a si n gul ar or isolated case of illegal dealing about property en forced on their tenants by Irish landlords." "1 kuow," he adds, " and at the proper time and in the proper place will make public, the name of a landlord—one of the judges of her Majesty's courts of law—on whose very large properties all the ten ants are bound by law to' pay all the poor rates. I know the names of the agents who have eutorced this iniquitous dealing, at which the - Irish lazd ,lorda ..auct tii*„ press appear ,accw to. b$ scauta- Lied." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER SUMMER MEETING. WEDNESDAY. Though decidedly deficient in interest as com pared with former anniversaries—though certainly not wanting in sensational incidents—the St. Leger of 1868 lacked none of the peculiarly distinctive features we have been accustomed to associate with this the last of the trio of great weight-for-age races of the year. The enclosure was thronged to excess, and the dense crowd of "excited Yorkshire" which lined each side of the course, extending as far as the Red llonse, proved conclusively that, notwithstanding the unpleasant rumours which were in circulation respecting certain of the competitors, and the un usually meagre character of the field, the great north-country race ha I lest none of its traditional attractions. The most commendable punctuality was observed througho it the day, the trio of opening events in the programme being disposed of upwards of half an hour before the time appointed for the decision of the great race of the day. The telegraph showed a dozen runners out of the nineteen coloured oa the card, the abs, ntees being Lord PalmJrston, The Sawyer, Sunstroke, Ritualist, Geant des Batailles, The Laird, and Prince George. The betting had been very erratic during the morning, Formosa and King Alfred alternately occupying the premier position in the quotations, but just before the start the pair bt came equal favourites, 100 to 30 being accepted about each. Viscount was quoted at sto 1, Paul Jones 100 to 15, Typhceus 12 to 1, St. Ronan 20 to 1, Mercury 25 to 1, the others ranging between 66 and 100 to 1. Typhceus was the first to put in an appearance on the course, followed by The Spy, Viscount, King Alfred, Paul Jones, and See-Saw ; next came St. Ronan, Mercury, and the Viscountess cols ; then Virtue and Orion, and Formosa last of all. The Oaks vic trix was brought to the post in the perfection of blooming condition, and was unanimously pronounced to have vastly improved and thickened since she ran at Ascot, while the fine sweeping, action she displayed in her preliminary canter con clusively refuted the canard, which had been so in dustriously put about during the morning, that she was suffering from lameness. King Alfred, who was ridden by Daley without spurs, also attracted general attention, but though, like Formosa, he was unimpeachable in point of condition, not a few of the cognoscenti took exception to his high, fight ing action. Mercury, though run in a hood, created a favourable impression, but Typhceus looked big, and was palpably short of preparation. After three false attempts a beautiful start was effected, The Spy cutting out the work with a clear lead, Orion, Typhoeus, and Viscount being in close attendance, followed at some distance by Paul Jones, Formosa, and Mercury, See-Saw, and King Alfred bringing up the rear division. The race, which will be found fully described below, was run at a great pace, The Spy holding the lead up to the last turn, where he gave way to Paul Jones and Mercury, the former at this point showing well in front. Nearing the half distance, however, Cballoner, who had hitherto ridden with most ex emplary patience, brought up Formosa on the outside, and the filly, answering gamely to the call of her jockey, had both her opponents safe a dozen strides from home, and cantered in an easy winner by two lengths. Mercury finished a bad third, The Spy fourth, See-Saw fifth, Typhceus sixth, followed at long intervals by Virtue, King Alfred, Orion, St. Ronan, the Viscountess colt, and Viscount ; the " Malton crack" finishing absolutely last. King Alfred and the Viscountess colt broke down during the race.

They left the Paddock in capital time, and after taking their preliminary canter they joined the starter, who, after three failures, lowered his flag at 3.18, the lot leaving the post in close company ; but immediately after making the turn See-Saw, with Virtue on his right, was seen in ad vance of Typhoeus, Orion, and The Spy, but as they neared the foot of the hill The Spy ran through his horses and assumed the lead, Orion going on second, with Typhoeus, Viscount, and St. Ronan nearly abreast, next; in whose rear were seen the colours of Formosa, Paul Jones, Mercury, Virtue, and Viscountess colt; See Saw having dropped into the rear with King Alfred. These positions were zetained over the hill, but on reappearing in sight The Spy had increased his lead to half a dozen lengths, Orion still lying second, slightly in advance of Vis count, Typhoeus, and St. Ronan, who were two lengths in front of Mercury, Paul Jones, See Saw, and Formosa, to the rifle butts, where the leader was seen gradually coming back to his horses, but before they reached the Red House Orion was beaten and dropped away, followed in a few strides further by Viscount and Typhoeus, leav ing the Mahon horse in front, waited upon by St. Ronan, Mercury, Paul Jones, and See-Saw. Formosa, who had boon gradually improving her position, was now seen approaching the leaders as they came round the bend. Hero The Spy was headed by Paul Jones in the centre and Mercury next the rails, the former with a slight ad vantage ; the favourite, ridden with great patience by Chalouer, biding her time until half way iu the distance, when, having disposed of 11r.

Hop-picking is now general throughout Kent, and already several of the largest planta tions have been cleared out. By the end of the present week picking will be almost entirely completed. The yield will, in all probability, average about 6 cwt. per acre. The hops from the Kentish gardens are hardly as good in quality as those of last and previous years, the majority of the samples already brought to market being bruised and broken. The hop trade remains inactive with prices much the same as before. Few choice samples have been yet sent to market, and for these high prices are obtainable. A conference of Plenipotentidries of the North German and South German States will shortly be held at Berlin to discuss the proposal for a general postal treaty with Italy. A treaty of friendship and commerce between Belgium and Siam was signed on the 29th ult. at the Belgian Legation, by the respective Ministers Plenipo tentiary, Baron du Jardin and Sir John Bowring.

FORBES, Chief Cashier. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. LONDON (CITY).—A meeting, numerously at tended, was held at the offices of the City Conser vative Association, yesterday, when a requisition to Messrs. Bell, Philip Twells, and Alderman Gibbons, asking them to become candidates for the represen tation of the City, was presented to them, and they have expressed their intention to stand. MARYLEBONE.—Last night a meeting of the elec tors of this borough was held at the vestry hall of St. Pancras, for the purpose of hearing an address from Dr. Sandwith. Previously to the opening of the proceedings certain persons present employed themselves in handing about cards with an inscrip tion asking for votes and influence on behalf of Mr. Thomas de Meschin, who it is understood stands in the extreme Radical interest. The gentleman was himself amongst the audience on this occasion. In the opening of his speech Dr. Sandwich stated that the word " Radical" was the only one which expressed Lis political opinions, and on this text he expounded his principles and Parliamentary intentions. A resolution in favour of Dr. Sandwith was moved, upon which an amendment was brought forward to the effect that the candidature of Dr. Sandwith was only opening the way for a Conservative by divid ing the Liberal interest, and that the meeting ex pressed its confidence in Mr. Harvey Lewis and Mr. T. Chambers. Much confusion ensued, and finally the amendment was declared to be lost and the resolution carried. SOMERSET (MID).—It is reported that Mr. Wal ter Bagehot, who was, for a time, a candidate for the University of London, will be requested to stand in the Liberal interest fur the division of the county.
