XONE Y X AJUCET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocic Tile absence or business, and the withdrawal of gol, from t h e Bank on Saturday, have rather adversely affected the Enrdisli Funds, which are i lower. The I s i t as c orn market, though th • ' e reduction is maintained, proved it se lf the Pd t somewhat firm ; and this circum anee has contributed to the clawaward tendency.

METROPOLITAN. The general manager, Mr. Fenton, states in his report that the number of passengers conveyed over the railway during the past half-year was 12,994,223, the traffic receipts being £128,474. The increase over the corresponding half-year of 1867 was 1,505,865 in passengers, and £14,032 in receipts. In addition to the number of passengers conveyed over the line 732,166 local passengers had been carried over the Hammersmith and City and St. John's-wood Railways. The working expenses during the half-year showed a total increase over the corresponding half of 1867 of £3,100. The increase in office expenses was £1,467 (being one-half of the charges formerly carried to capital account); in rates and taxes £3,766. The other working expenses haul been actually less duriug the past half-year, although there had been so large au increase in the receipts. The largest number of passengers con veyed over the railway in any one week since the opening of the line was in Whitsuntide last, from Saturday, the 30th of May, to Friday, the 511 of June, both days inclusive, the total being 600,558. The largest number in one day was 112,287, op Whit Monday last. The traffic of the Hammer smith and City Railway continued to progress sa tisfactorily. The extension of the line to the Broad way at Ilammerstnith was expected to be completed during the autumn. The St. John's -wood Rail way was opened for traffic on the 13th April last, and the trains had been worked over it with great regularity. The Metropolitan Company's mile age proportion of the receipts to and from this line was nearly equal to the amount received by this company in respect of the Hammersmith and City Railway immediately after its opening. The junc tion with the Midland Railway was ()pore.] on the 13th inst., and 42 trains per day were now running between that line and Moorgate-street. The Mid land Company weie already carrying a emsider able traffic, and were about to increase the number of their trains. NORTHERN OF FRANCE. The traffic receipts on this company's lines from the Ist January to the 14th July amounted to £1,813,250, and for the corresponding period of last year to £1,869,925, showing a decrease of £56,675. The decrease in the receipts of the old lines amounted to £101,997, and the increase on the newilines to £48,322, leaving the decrease as above, £56,675. LONDONDERRY AND ENNISKILLEN. The report of the directors states that the rent of the railway for the six mouths, £13,000, had been received from the Irish North-Western Company by weekly payments, less income-tax. The interest received on deposit was £l3, transfer fees, &c., £4, and the balance from last account £lOl, making the gross total £13,118 for the half-year ending the 30th of June last. From this was de ducted £3,980 for interest on loans and deben tures, and also the legal and other expenses, leaving a disposable balance of £9,137 towards the payment of dividends and arrears. Owing to the increase of traffic on the Irish North-Western sys tem for the year 1867, £632 was due above the ordinary minimum rent, but had not yet been re mitted, in consequence of some outstanding accounts not being agreed on between the two companies, and £632 was therefore not brought into the pre sent account. All the debentures of the company were now placed, and notice had been sent to each proprietor who had not exchanged his dividend warrants for debenture stock to send in for imme diate payment. The directors congratulated the proprietors on the greatly improved financial posi tion of the company, which was mainly attributed to the assistance rendered by those sbareholders who exchanged their warrants for debenture stock; this gave such confidence to the bondholders that they had recently exchanged debentures falling due, to a considerable amount, for debenture stock, the position of which at present was that £79,874 out of £150,000, the total borrowing power of the com pany, was now placed in that security. The direc tors recommended that dividends at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum be declared, and paid forthwith on the £3,062 stock B, described as 245 half-shares ; also the dividends at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the £31,850 stock A ; also the dividends at the rate of 5 per cent., together with 11 per cent. on account of arrears, making 6f per cent. per annum on £247,738 stock B, leaving a balance of £212. The capital account to the 30th of June showed that £709,604 bad been expended. DEMERARA. The traffic receipts on the company's line for the 7 days ending the 30th of June last amounted to ) 6,086, and for the corresponding period of last -ear to $4,838, showing an increase of $51,248. COLCHESTER AND STOUR VALLEY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Wednesday, at Colchester ; Mr. I. T. Ewen in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the board had to regret the loss of two valuable directors, the late Mr. Crowley and the late, Mr. W. W. Hawkins. The directors recom mended the election of Mr. Quilter in the room of Mr. Crowley, and of Mr. C. 11. Hawkins in the room of Mr. W. INT. Hawkins. The report was adopted, and a dividend declared at the rate of £3 7s per cent. per annum. Mr. Qui!ter and Mr. C. H. Hawkins acknow ledged the compliment paid them by their election Is directors. The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to he chairman and directors. WESTIIINSTER ABBEY. The Dean of Westmin ster, with his accustomed kindness, conducted a party of working men over the Abbey, and afterwards entertained them to tea at the deanery on Friday. The visit was or ganized in accordance with a suggestion made by Dr. Stanley, on the part of the Working Men's Club and In stitute Union, a society of which he is one of the ♦ice-pre sidents. THE SUN LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 3, 1868.1 POLICE _UT, THIS DAY. AR LBOROUGH-STIZ EEL EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF STEALING A CHILD. —Charles Miller (a German) and Bertha husband and wife, were charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with unlawfully detaining a child under 14 years of age, namely, Elizabeth Chard, aged five years, with intent to deprive the parents of such child, in July, 1864. Frederick Chard, of No. 2, Cross-street, Golden square, said—l missed my child Elizabeth or the 4th July, 1361, she being then just over five years of age. Yesterday evening I went to a place in Bethnal-green, N. 7, Brandon-row, and saw my child in bed, and directly the child saw me she clung to me. 1117. Tyrwhitt—Where did you miss the child from ? Prosecutor—My wife was with me in a public ' house, and I have heard that the prisoners were there at the same time. I advertisA the loss of the child in the newspapers. Mr. T yrwhitt—Prisoners, do you wish to ask any questions? The Prisoners —No. Elizabeth Chard, the little girl, said—l was with my mother a long while ago in a public-house in the evening, and I went home with those two (the prisoners). My mother didn't go with us. I don't know why she didn't go. They carried me—the lady carried me. My mother did not prevent them taking me away. The man was with the lady. Mr. Tyrwhitt—ls the mother here ? Officer —She cannot be found. The Child—l knew my father when lie came. I did not ask t,o'go home with him. Mr. Tyrwhitt—When did your wife leave you ? Prosecutor—Two years last May, to live with a man. Mr. Tyrwhitt—llo you know anything of these people ? Prosecutor—No. I never saw them till yester day. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did she say nothing when she came home about the child being lost. Prosecutor—When she came home she abused me, and said, " The child's lost, you —. You don't care anything about it." Frederick Kromback, a shoemaker, said—l was at Millet's house, in Royston-street, Bethnal-green, when the child was brought home by the Millers. I saw the little girl in bed, and on asking him where he got the child from he said it was given to Mr. T,yrwhitt—Have they any children of their own ? Witness—No. The little girl also told me that her parents were dead. About three months ago they moved from Royston-street to Bandon-row. They have had the child re-christened, and I know the person who is godfather to the child. Female Prisoner—The W 0112311 gave the child to me. Williatn Chapmw, 157 K—Tn consequence of what was told me by List witness I went with him and the father of the child to Bandon-row, and told Miller I was a police-officer, and that I had come about a little girl he had brought home four years ago. He replied " 1 know nothing about it ;" and on my asking him if he had not got a little girl there, he said "Yes." I asked him if it was his own little girl. Ile said his wife brought it home, and that he knew nothing about it. The wife then said, '• I brought the little girl home, and I was sorry for it three days afterwards." Afterwards she said the child was given to her by the mother. The prisoners were afterwards given into my custody. The father asked for the beads the child was wearing when she was lost, and the child went and got the beads. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was it a tolerably comfortable house ? Constable—lt was, and there was no other child there. [The child appeared to have been well fed and attended to.] The male Prisoner—l went into the public-house, and the woman came in with the child, and the child's mother said my wife could have it; and I went out, and on my going back to the public-house found my wife corning to me with the child, and on my asking what that was, she said the child had been given to her. I afterwards looked for the mother, but could tot find hcr. I took the child home. The child said its name was Lizzie. Mr. Tyrwhitt—lt is a case within the act of Par liament, and .1 might remand the prisoners, but at the same time the mother of the child appears to have been a very careless woman, and likely to have given it to any one. I will take two bail in £2O each for a week. The prisoners appear to have taken care of the child. •••.....,...... ..I.• THAMES. AN OLD SINNER . — Margaret Johnson, a plump, stout, and nimble woman, was the first prisoner charged this morning. Police -constable No. 312 K stated that he found the prisoner very drunk and noisy on Saturday night, and took her into custody. Mr. Benson--You are 90 years of age, Mrs. Johnson ? The Prisoner —yes, sir, I am, and one more. M ' r Be nson —lt is ti me you left off getting drunk, Mrs. Joh nson. Mrs. Johnson —I will leave it off ; I am going into Kent hoppi ng. Mr. Be nson —Hopping at 90 years of age. The Prisoner yes r • every year Igo into the ent hop ground s of 'll sir • op picking. I have done so 80 years. Mr. Benson you a re a won d er ful woman, Mrs. Johnson. You are discharged. ILLEGALLY PAWNING. Mary Rich alias Eliza beth Carr, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with illegally pawning a shirt, the property of Mr. Luke, of No. 37, Tower•buildings, Yapping. The prisoner was stated to be a married woman, who had been in the practice of robbing ready fur nished lodgings. There was a similar charge ready to be preferred against her at the Westminster Police-court. A large quantity of pawnbrokers' duplicates, supposed to relate to stolen property, was found upon her; but although the pri soner had been twice remanded previous the various articles could not be found. The prisoner and her husband hired an apartment in the house of the prosecutor, a few weeks since, and on the following Saturday she missed a sheet off the bed room let to the prisoner. She spoke to the prisoner about it, and she said that she had taken it to the laundress to be washed. Mrs. Luke demanded the sheet immediately, and the prisoner thcn took her to Palmer's-folly, Bluegate-fields, Rosemary-lane, and other places, where the prosecutrix was not safe, under pretence of looking for the laundress and the sheet, which wag found in a pawnbroker's warehouse. The prisoner had pawned it. Mrs. Luke said the husband of the prisoner left her on Sunday, the 19th of last month, and took his daughter with him. Mr. Benson sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of £5, and ss. the value of the sheet, and in default one month's imprisonment and hard labour. ..PORTING NJTEF. Surely when it is the order of the day to beast of se lected winners, as I went for 111Eacuar, who ran second, and ought to have won The Stewards' Cup, TABOURET for Goodwood Stakes, and a lot of winners of smaller events, I may take. some credit to myself, as these animals were only selected by other sporting scribes some days afterwards. I venture to assert that your columns have been the medium of giving the public more winners, especially at outside prices, than all the other papers put together. It is true oz the day some of the " caeoetheS scribendi" Touts, who keep naming a fresh horse every time they write, say after writing up ten or a dozen horses, as the case may be, for.n large engagement, happen to select the winner, and their impudence is something alarming. Early iu the year 1 selected The Earl to win the Derby, and Speculum, whose winning price was 100 to 1, as sure to get a place. Two or .three weeks afterwards I ❑amed the latter as likely to win the City and Suburban, when 50 to 1 was to be had at every list in town; Last Alonday MERCURY was my absolute choice for the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, au.l for the Stakes next thy I went for TABOURET. Furthermore, I selected SPECULUM to win the Cup, thus giving the winners of the two principal races of the meeting. As regards Brighton, the Stakes, with their owners' permission, is a certainty for two, viz.— SHARE LIST ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Closing Business Share.

WESTMINSTER. ROBBERY By " JACK SHEP PARD."--JaCk Shep pard, a boy, 13 years of age, was charged with levy, James Sheppard, the accused's brother, said that he lived in the same house with his father and his family. On Saturday praecutor went out for a day's pleasure, leaving two sovereigns and a half iu a box which was locked. When he re turned home, he found that the box had been broken open and the bag and money stolen. Pri soner's bed-room was searched, and the bag and money found in his trousers pocket. Prosecutor had thought the best thing be could do for pri soner's own good was giving hit into custody. The father, a respectable-looking man, described as a tailor, said that the prisoner had been going wrong for the last twelve months. He had re peatedly committed acts of dishonesty, and had been once before charged at this court. He was most anxious to get him to sea, where h e was w illi ng to go, and hoped the magistrate would endeavour to assist him. lie had made application to pro cure his sou a ship, but had hitherto fail e d. Prisoner was remanded in order to get him to sea if possible. .BLUESKiN or THE RE ;CUE. The Earl of Westmoreland is too good a judge - not'to run JOHN LEECH through his engagements, and I see nothing to boat him for the' Marine Plate un less it be MusA, whose form in the Stewards' Cup last week ought not to be lost sight of. I have not time to calculate the penalties and allowances for the Cuampagne Stakes, but if I did,VEsPAsIAN is grown into such a grand looking horse he would then be my selection. The first time PERFUME runs sho will win, and I expect to see her do so lure, as she has nothing particular to beat in the Priory Stakes. If a jockey was put up with proper in structions I should fancy nothing but THE COLT BY KET TLEDRUM out of IMPERATRICE ; and . if SPECULUM runs for the Brighton Cup, ho will certainly win. In his ab sence FORTUNIO might win. _ . The Brighton Club 3leeting commences on Thursday next, and for tho Brighton Club Stakes I fancy TOY. In the Claret Stakes REINDEER is engaged, and ought to prove the winner. The Ninth Biennial Stakes is a certainty for SPECULUM, and the Tenth Biennial Stakes for MATILDA. I can say very little about Lewes meeting, as none of the acceptances have yet appeared, but if Musa. accepts for the Da Warrenne Handicap, •she will certainly make every ()that : animl,l in the race gallop to beat her. I pre sume MELODY will prove good enough to win the Priory Stakes. Tho principal handicap is run on Saturday, and is a good thing for ICING OF THE FAIRIES. The Sussex Stakes will be a walk over for Ftrsirwoirrit, and if FLEETWING should be pulled out by her late pur chaser and present noble owner, I fully expect she will prove herself one of the bast two-year-olds out by boating Leonid and Abstinence. A FRESH MAN. THE GOOD IT OOD MEETING. (From a Correspondent of the Racing Times.) Like all the rest of the racing world I paid my annual visit to glorious Goodwood last week, and must say there was a great falling off noticeable in the attendance, and also the quality of the horses that contested the different races during the meeting. By the time my remarks will reach the public they will be tired of reading those of other writers about the Dacal meeting, for I em quite sure there are more sporting articles written at the present time thah the most inveterate lovers of racing can find time and patience to road. I shall not weary your readers with particulars about the aristocratic visitors to Goodwood House, for I am not so fond as some people are of discovering any little personal story of great men, but you kuow what great personages do the less will prattle off. My occupation is with horses ; therefore I shall proceed at once to offer a few remarks about some I saw run during the past week. The racing com menced with the Craven Stakes, which was won cleverly by Charnwood, who beat Vespasian, Mandrake, and Satyr. The latter was fourth and last, which proved what a wretched lot must have been behind him in the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot. Vespasian ran a good horse, con sidering, he was short of work, as the ground has been too hard to gallop such a large framed horse. Charn wood is a sound, wiry horse, and the hard ground just suited him ; but I have no doubt when we gat some rain, Vespasian will turn the tables on him. Indeed I think the running wo have soon lately will nearly all be upset when the ground is iri better order for racing. The win ner of the Sweepstakes for all ages is as smart a colt as I ever saw: Sir Oliver, whom he defeated, looks and goes better everyday, and he seemed tolike the hard ground; Mr. Hodgman's youngster is therefore likely to prove a good one. The lucky Edward Brayley pulled off the rich Levant Stakes wi.h his now purchase, the Duke of Beaufort. I have no excuse to offer for the indifferent form shown by Badsworth, as the horse line done plenty of work; but he went back in the betting in a most mysterious manner. His back Ts commenced by laying olds on him, but the bookmakers offered 2 to lat the finish. One seldom or ever sees a horse win a race when ho goes up and down in the market as Badsworth did. We have been often told if Badsworth was he the Derby ho would have a 7 to 1 chance, and if his running is correct hero it should not be more than 10 to 1 against Mr. Brayley's horse, as they were running at a difference of only 31b, but as 1 stated before, we shall see all this running upset when they meet again. The Stewards' Cup brought out t wenty-one runners, and, as I remarked before the race, all the top weights were out of it. Xi made the best fight of it, but the weight told on him at the finish, indeed 3i stone is too much to expect any horse to give a moderate three year old at this time of the year, indeed I think the stable got all the money themselves, for all those who saw him run at Windsor could not back him after the in different form ho showed there. Cellina looked all over a winner at the distance, but shut up when Kenyon called on her. His lordship backed her for a lot of money, and if she had run up to her trial she could not have lost. We were told Charnwood could not win with Gst 71b, but such extraordinary private trials as we hear of at times are very deceptive. Belladrum had no difficulty in .winning the Ham Stakes ; his opponents seemed to me to be a very mo derate lot, with the exception of Chanoinesse, and she can not stay over half a mile. Mr. Merry's horse seems likely to hold his own against all corners as long as he keeps well. He is the best-looking Darby horse I have seen this year, and I am afraid we have nothing at Newmarket likely to beat him in the Derby, although I think the best of our lot has not been out yet. The racing commenced on Wednesday with the Sweepstakes of 300 sovs, which the roaring St. Ronan won in a canter, as I predicted, although it will be remembered he never was a favourite of mine, as I was the first to give the public the straight tip about him in the Liverpool Spring week, when a gallant captain gave the public the genuine information that St. Ronan or Suffolk would win the Darby. I then stated that Mr. Chaplin's horse was a rank roarer, and that Suffolk was a duffer, which has turned out to be quite correct. Tonedos won the Findon Stakes in a canter. This brother to Knight of the Crescent is a nice horse, and was one of my selection; as I stated he would do the stable some service before the year was over; but unless they can find a bettor I am afraid they will never be able to beat Belladrum, an 1 unless Prince Imperial, the half-brother to Julius, should turn out a good horse, we have nothing at Newmarket within 71bs of Belladrum. It will be seen that my remarks about the Goodwool Stakes in your last week's paper wore as near correct as possible, as I proved from public running that Gomera was not in the race. She was at 7to 2 iu the betting at the time my lines were penned, and I hope my remarks prevented your readers from backing her. She was always a very moderate mare, Lut vary fortunate in meeting such a hit of ba 1 horses last year in the Bath and Somerset and Goodwoood Stakes. She has turned out a very dear bargain for the Duke of Newcastle, as she has deceived, the stable twice this year in trials. Not that I think she has lost them any money on the pre sent occasion, as no money was invested on her before she beat Julius at Stockbridge, and lam sure Matthew Daw son is too good a judge to advise his Grace to back a mare for Goodwood Stakes that has deceived him twice in trials at home. Those sporting writers who stated every week that she was backed for thousands, and could not lose, kept her in the market. I never had the least hope of the stakes coming to Newmarket, and I told your readers the best of Tons Dawson's would win ; still, from what I knew. about Ecarte, I thought he would run better than he did Gomera broke down in the race, and there is an end to her racing career. What a fortunate man the Duke of Beau fort must be to get such enormous prices for three such cripples as Vauban, Gomera, and Viridis. I stated in a contemporary at the time that the three horses were not worth the price paid for one of thorn, but they were all written up by some sporting writers as cheap animals ; but us Admiral Rous said about trainers gutting a horse in the market for a ten-pound note, any owner of horses wish ing to dispose of them can have them written up for the smallest consideration " When we for recompenco have praised the vile It stains the glory in that happy verse Whore aptly sings the good."—Shak3pere. The Goodwood Cup brousht out only five runners, and I am sorry to say that my old friend Julius has turned out au arrant rogue. He refused to gallop when Daley called on him—in fact, ho would ucver go up to his horses in any part of the race. This is the second occasion ho has de ceived his friends and the stable. If ho had only run up to his trial at-house ha ceald not have lost, as it is well known ho was tried to give Speculum two stone and beat him. Speculum is only what I always slid he was, a fair, honest horse, as will be seen from Bluoskin getting so close to him at the finish, Neither of them are within 141 b. of DJr . by - form: Those who selected Speculum to win and backed him may thank their kind stars that Julius has lost his temper. Ile ran just as currish as he did at Ascot, where lilinkhoolie ran away from him; and had the latter kept well he would have won the Goodwood Cup - - . as easy as ho did at Ascot, for be has improved more than 111 b since he beat Blueskin at Northampton, and I have no doubt but time will prove the above remarks to be quite correct. The Chesterfield Cup on Friday proves Charn wood to be one of our best three year olds, as hi 'won in a canter all the way, and from the manner ho beat Ve.gpasian in the Craven Stakes he has few equals at the present time. 1: 1 was fortunate in selecting the winner of the Nursery Irand:cap, but think they were only a moderate lot. The stable steal Acaster in preference, and the winner conse quently started at 10 to 1. In my opinion, all the two year-olds we have seen out this year, with very few e eeptious, are only moderate. All the world and their wives will be at Brighton this week, and there is an am ple bill of fare provided for them by the liberal kice Committee at the Queen of waterin2,•-places. As Um acceptances are not declared for the Brighton Stakes be fore Monday night, I shall only paint out what I consider well in. BLUESKIX must win if he rung, as it does not require a Derby horse to beat such a moderato field as he will have to meat. From the running with Speculum at Giodwoo I, he will now be considered a good horse, yet he is only moderate ; never theless ho may be good enough to win both the Brighton Stakes and Cup if Mr. Savile makes up his mind t o run him for both races. Oult MA!tY ANN is sure to run well if wanted, as she ran vary fast for a mile and three quarters in the Goodwood Stakes. The Champagne Stakes looks a good thing for VESPA;IAN, although 'Speculum, no doubt, will be favourite from his running at Goodwood ; but I shall stand on the former. The weights are not published for the other hen Heaps, so I can offer no opinion about them. PROGRAUME OP BRIGHTON RACES. TUESDAY, Aug. 4.

The production of Mr. Disraeli's " Alarcos " at this theatre on Saturday night was looked forward to with considerable interest. 'Though long known to the readers of Mr. Disraeli's novels, this play has never had a - isigned to it the prominence which it seems to us eminently to merit. Tragedy, even under the inspiration of a Shakspere, (seems to have lost its charm for the play-going public, and the light dramatic pieces of French origin, which have so long been in vogue, are unquestionably the only performances that are really in favour. It says s9mething therefore for the enterprise of the present management of Astley's that a new, hazardous, and iudepe , Lient path should be struck out by it. The production of anything from the pen of the distinguished man who holds the reigns of Government of this kingdom would be sure to command attention, notwithstanding that it has become the custom of several of our con tewporay ies to ridicule, deprecate, and discover the " cloven hoof" in each line and each sentence which emanates from it; but the success of a piece like that of " Alarcos" eminently depends upon the garb in which it is presented co the public. It is question able whether the author ever intended the play for stage representation at all ; but whether he did so or not, we are sure he would feel thoroughly satisfied with the manner in which it has now been presented. The scenery was excellent, the acting good, and whatever adverse criticism may be expended upon the play itself by political partizans, we are sure the public will appreciate at its just valve both the singular merits of the piece and the enterprise of the manager who has brought it forward. In the farce which preceded "Alarcos," entitled " An Ob ject of Interest," the acting of Miss Emily Scott, Mr. 11. Norton, and Mr. J. Royston was very commendable, the piece itself being full of humour. Altogether the opening night was a decided success. 111ARKE7S-7llls DAY. c --- ---- CORN. The harvest progresses most satisfactory. The trade in the provinces is quiet. At Mark Lane this morning tho attendance was better, several arrivals from the North swelling the :number of buyers, and the tone of the trade much less depressed. At last Friday's offers, that is is to 2s decline on the rates of .Monday last, there were few buyers of new Eng lish wheats, the large reduction was only in a few cases accepted. A general clearance being made at the decline of ls., and in some instances even last Monday's rates were said to have been obtained. Foreign wheat was in liberal supply, and moved off steadily, at is to 2s less money on the week. Flour the turn cheaper. Grinding barley easier to buyer, there Laing several ar rivals of foreign. Beans and pea; in steady request. Russian oats 3d. cheaper. Other quotations unaltered. Supplies large. METUOPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The market was again heavily supplied iu face of a ma nifest want of demand iu the dead market. Tho stock, however, showed the effect of drought and want of food, the coLdition being generally indifferent. Of beasts there were 34 from Scotland, 3,186 from the Euglish pastures, and 1,890 from abroad. The few really prime realised full prices, while the general tralo was depressed. Of sheep and lambs 33,250 came to hand, 6,020 being foreign. Primo English mutton maintained its value, but middling qualities sold cheaper. Veal depressed, 328 on sae, 313 being foreign. TALLOW. The market is dearer. Spot, 44s 6d ; last three months, 45s to 465. Stock, 20,718 sacks ; delivered last week, 1,552 sacks ; arrived, 1,98 G. Pigs met a du!l sale. 270 came to hand, 10 boing for eigu. Tads at ►narket—Beasts, 4,110 ; sheep and lambs, 35,250; calves, 328; pigs, 27G - . Quotations—Beef, 3s to 5s 2d ; mutton, 3s to 4s 10d; veal, 3s to ss; pork, 3s to 4s 6d ; lamb, 4s 84 to 5s 10d per stone of 8 lbs, sinking the offal. NEWGA.TE AND LEAUENIIALL. lleat.—The trade is very bad, and even the moderate supplies at market have to be furced off at low prices. A very prime fresh sheep, lamb, calf, or pig averaged 4s on the stone, and a prime body of beef the same. From this point prices range down to 2s Bd, according to the condition of the meat. COTTON.

If Mr. Gladstone becomes Prime Minister, it is said that Lord Clarence Paget expects to be elected for Anglesey to become First Lord, and that his choice for Secretary of the Admiralty has already been made in the person of Mr. Reed, provided that that gentleman can obtain the necessary position of M.P.—United Service Gazette. TIIE GOVERNOR-GENEEALSIIIP OF INDIA.—The London correspondent of the _Dublin Evening Mail is re sponsible for the following:—" I have reason to believe that the project for providing a retreat for Lord Mayo, which has been fur a considerable time in concoction, and has been alternately affirmed and repudiated by his friends, is at last likely to assume a substantial shape. if the pubic will bear it, the Irish Secretary is to be made Governor- GJneral of Indi I. The appointment, it is hoped, may be effected quietly in October, when attention will be absorbed by the prep.trations for the general election."
