The depression which characterised the funds is on 15 f the anomalies of the stock market which it is no easy to explain, seeing that all the general cases which usually affect prices are of a highly favourable cha racter. Money is cheap and most abundant. Bankers and discounters have much more than they e;irone p n e l , ploy ; and th e y o ff er it i n sums a t 14 per cen t. There a re no s i gns of any disturbance of the peace ofl however uneasy the speculators on the .Paris Bourse may affect to be. The harvest is all that could be desired in quality as well as quantity. The price of wheat is 20s per quarter lower than it was last year, and from 8s to 103 lower than it was a month ago, while there are symptoms of a further decline in Mark-lane next Monday. Yet all these favourable conditions go for nothing as far as the Funds are concerned, though the Funds yield quite as good returns as most other stocks, with the best security in the world. The fact that operators are closing their engagements previously to their avowed annual vacation, supplies some explana tion of the anomaly ; but this is obviously insufficient to account for the whole. It would be useless for us to attempt a solution ; but the British Funds, so long as they are properly estimated by the public, cannot p er manently remain below th e i r t rue va l ue from the operation of merely speculative causes, in face of a great harvest and a low price of money,which promises to he of indefinite continuance.

The Lords Justices delivered judgment to-day in this case, which related to the ownership of the Sporting Life newspaper. Their Lordships agreed with the Vice-Chancellor in holding that the plaintiff was entitled to one half share of the newspaper, and that the sale by Mr. Hutton, the elder, and Mr. Hutton, the younger, was void as against the plaintiff. But they held that the plaintiff must take the half share subject to the lien of Mr. Hutton, the elder, in respect of two sums of £212 and £2,000, with interest at 7i per cent. per annum thereon, and in respect of any balance which might be due to him on the taking of the partnership accounts. The costs of the suit, so far as they were in creased by the allegations as to the sale by Hutton, the father, and Hutton, the son, to be paid by the defendants. The defendants' other costs to be added to what should be found due to them on the accounts. The costs of the appeal to be given. The village of Hunsdon, near Ware, was on Tuesday visited by a fire which at one time threatened to destroy the whole place. The fire broke out about eight o'clock in the morning in the workshops of a builder, and rapidly extended to the dwelling-house in front and the cottages adjoining. A scanty supply of water was obtained from the village pump, and brought in carts from a pool which the long drought had not exhausted ; but the progress of the fire was only stopped by the pulling down of some cottages. Five or six families are deprived of their homes, and some of all their worldly goods, by this unfortunate occur rence. The fire is believed to have been purposely caused. THE HEAT AND THE HARVESTERS. —The dryness of the ground and the excessive heat of the past few days have rendered it almost impossible to work during the height of the day. In the North and East Ridings, there fore, where harvest is now in full swing, the men com mence work at daybreak and work till ten a.m., for the purpose of avoiding lout or five hours of the midday sun, completing their labour in the cool of the evening. Mon day and Tuesday were two of the hottest days of the year, giving 91 deg. and 92 deg. shade, and 125 deg. and 127 deg. sun readings.

There was little ceremony about the matter, and the Chairman of the Board of Works having received her Majesty's First Com missioner of Works (Lord J. Manners), the whole of the company, which was very numerous, then proceeded along the splendid footway as far as the Temple Gardens' Pier, where they embarked on board two special steamers, and started for Abbey Mills to inspect the new pumping works in con nection with the great drainage works of the metro polis. DUBLIN, July 29. A horse show upon an extensive scale was opened to the public yesterday, and will divert attention for a few days from political subjects to one more agreeable, if not more useful. It is held under the auspices and upon the ground of the Royal Dublin Society. The decline in the number of horses in the country of late years and the deterioration of their quality, at least in the highest classes, have been viewed with much concern by agricultural associa tions and country gentlemen. The demand for the best, or even moderately good breeds, has been in excess of the supply, and farmers have been tempted by high prices or induced by the pres sure of circumstances to part with their young stock chiefly for exportation. There has been a .continuous drain, and the effect is that now the utmost difficulty is experienced in obtaining good horses fcr general use. The Royal Dublin Society, the Royal Agricultural Society, and the Paltnerston Association, which has been formed within the last three years for the express object of breeding animals of a superior class, have taken the matter in hand, and devoted their best efforts to meet the emergency, and to take advantage of the opportunity for opening up a profitable field of agricultural enterprise. Between the first two so cieties a spirit of emulation has sprung up which will sharpen the intelligence and quicken the activity of both. The successful exhibition of the Royal Agricultural Society in Stephen's -green last year, in which horses occupied a larger space than usual, served as r. challenge to the older society, to which this show is the reply. The beneficial effect of the movement is alrealy beginning to bo felt. The present show furnishes satisfactory evidence that the encouragement held out is duly appreciated. It is not only the best which has ever been held in Dublin, but in the estimation of competent judges will, in some of its features, bear comparison with any of the great shows at the other side of the Channel. At 'the side of the society's house, looking towardS Mer rion-square, the sires were exhibited. In the spa cious courtyard a ring was formed, with two fences, for testing the jumping qualities of the thorough-bred hunters. This was the great event of interest during the day, and combined the en tertainment of a circus with the business of a bazaar. A band was stationed here, which con tributed to the pleasure of the spectators. Th re were 372 horses to be a ljulicated upon, and the judges had uo easy task. It may be observed that the number shown on Stephen's-green last year was 220, which was a great increase upon former shows. The entries were classified as follows :—Thorough-bred sires, 23 ; hunters, 87 ; young horses suitable fur hunters, 124 ; horses and park horses, 13 ; weight-carrying cobs and roadsters, 23 ; carriage horses, 4 ; officers' chargers, 7 ; horses calculated for troopers, 3 ; ponies, 38 ; brood mares, 24 ; agricultural stallions and mares, 20. The judges had not concluded their labours at a late hour in the evening, although a number of awards have been made. The display of thorough. bred sires and hunters include:l some splendid About £l,OOO was offered in prizes. The first prize, £4O, for thoroughbred sires, ,was awarded to Mr. Joseph M'Mahon, Mountrath, for a inagniticent bay cost, Roman Bee, bred by Mr. Michael Dunne, Stradbally, from Birdcatcher—Queen Bee, by Harkaway ; Mr. W. Hatch, Ardee, received the second prize, £2O. In the second section of this class, for the best sire calculated to get car riage horses, troop horses, or roadsters, Mr. L ut rence M'Court, Bolton-street, Dublin, was awarded the prize of £25 ; and Mr. William St. George, Tyrone-house, county of Galway, the second prize. In class 2, for hunters, Mr. Thomas Butler, of Ballycarron, Golden, was awarded the first prize of £2O ; and Mr. William Meredith, of Derrylough, Queen's County, the second. In the second sec tion, for hunters not less than five years old, Mr. D'Arcy, of Athy, received the first prize, and Mr. Thomas 'league, of Thotnastown, the se cond. In Class C, for young horses suitable for hunters, there was spirited competition. In the next class, for ladies' and park horses, there was no merit. Weight-carrying cobs and roadsters made a very respectable show. Carriage geldings and chargers were few but of moderately good quality. There were some handsome little ponies. Agricul tural stallions and brood mares were rather defi cient in quality. Some special trials of leaping will be held to-day to complete the awards of prizes. The admission in the forenoon of yester day was at the prohibitory rate of 10s. ; iu the afternoon it was reduced to 55., and to-day the ad mission will be 2s. 6d., which will bring larger num. bers of visitors. A return just issued by the Registrar-General gives information which may be of interest. Au elaborate table shows by counties and provinces the number of horses serving in Ireland in 1864 and 1368, distinguishing the breed of each, and whether bred in this country or imported, accord ing to statements received from the owners. 'We find that in the province of Leinster, which con tains 4,876,211 acres, the total number in 1864 was 382, of which 71 were imported and the rest homebred ; this year it is 384, with the same proportion imported. In Munster, containing 6,067,990 acres, the total number in 1864 was 281, of which 38 were imported ; in 1868 it is 306, of which 48 are imported. In Ulster, containing 5,478,867 acres, the total in 1864 was 239, of which 36 were imported ; in 1868 it is 225, of which 50 are imported. In Connaught, which contains 4,392,043 acres, the total in 1864 was 132, in cluding 12 imported ; in 1868 it is 144, including 15 imported. The total for Ireland in the two years is 1,031 in 1864, and 1,059 in 1868, showing an increase of only 25 sires. In the thorough-bred class alone there is an increase ; in all others a decrease. Annexed to the general obstract is a table giving the number of horses of every description in Ireland for the years 1860 to 1867 inclusive, according to the returns annually obtained by the enumerators, as follows :-1860, 619,811; 1861, 614,232 ; 1862, 602,894 ; 1863, 579,978 ; 1864, 562,158 ; 1865; 548,339 ; 1866, 535,799 ; 1867, 524,880. There is no election intelligence of any import ance. It is reported that Lord Killeen will come forward for the county of Meath, in place of Mr. Corbally, who is not likely to stand again, and a Conservative opposition will probably be attempted. Captain Fagan continues his canvass in Carlow. He solicited the support of the Right Rev. Dr. Uughes, the Catholic Bishop of Kildare, but that prelate wrote to say that he made it a rule not to interfere in elections. At the same time he spoke in the strongest terms of the gallant captain's quali ficati6ns. Cardinal Callen is so far recovered that it is not It is reported that several gentlemen who have distinguished themselves as supporters of the Go vernment in the Lower House, and aro of fortune adequate to the position, will be advanced to the dignity of the Peerage.

The Catholic party were represented by four professional men. Mr. John Rea, of Belfast, appeared for the Orangemen. After some pre liminary business had been transacted, the inquiry was adjourned, on the application of counsel for the Catholic party for a week. On Tuesday evening a meeting of what is called the " Democratic party " of Finsbury was held on Clerkenwell-green, to advocate the claims of Mr. G. W. M. Reynolds to the representation of that borough in Parliament, The platform was a van, which was surmounted by a green flag. The chairman, whose name could not be heard, and whom no one knew, announced that the meeting was held to " inaugurate a new era " in the repre sentation of the people, for as " the House of Com mons had passed a bill giving some thousands in the borough the vote," they meant to have a man who would advocate their views, and they believed such a man was to be feud in Mr, G.

A YOUNG BEGINNER.—AIbert Edwin Austin, a boy of 14 years of age, barman to Mr. Smith, of Wych-street, Drury-lane, was charged with robbing his master's till. Mr. Smith said the prisoner had been in his employment about a month, having been recom mended by his father (also a publican), who wished to " get him out," and was anxious he should make a good beginning in a comfortable service in the house of a friend. In recommending him the father assured witness that the lad was strictly honest. Witness soon found, however, a per ceptible reduction in his " takings," and having some suspicion was already taking step with a view to detection, when he received information from the potman, iu consequence of which he gtve the pri soner iu custody. Robert Henry Shorter, a youth apparently about 18 years of age, said he was potboy to Mr. Smth. few days back the prisoner proposed t,) him that as they had a holiday on Sunday they should go down the river to enjoy themselves for the day. He observed that they would want some money, hs supposA 10s. would do, and he could surely get that in a week. On Monday he gave witness Is. 6d., and Tuesday ls. 6d., making 3s. On Tuesday night, when witness was going to bed the prisoner wanted to go with him, but was not allowed to do so. He managed, how ever, to pass a handful of silver to witness, saying, " Take this, I am afraid they are going to search me." Witness afterwards counted the money, and reckoned it 175., but afterwards found he had mis taken a 4d. for a 3 d.-piece, so the real amount was 17s. ld. Ho was at first afraid to speak of the matter to his master, but first mentioned it to a man who had formerly been in Mr. Smith's service and in consequence of whose advice he did ulti mately inform his master of the facts. In the mean while the prisoner had asked him for the 17s. ld., and he had returned it to him. witness gave the 3s. to his master. The prisoner said this witness had led him into the snare "by suggesting that he should drop money into the sand, which he (Shorter) could afterwards remove." He said also that Shorter was in the habit of coming to him for " drops" of rum and milk. Shorter said he was allowed a certain quantity of drink. Prisoner—Yes, one drop. But you had three or four drops sometimes. Mr. Flowers—How much is a " drop ?" Mr. Smith—Three halfpenny worth of rum, and one halfpenny worth of milk. I allowed him " one drop" when we had been at work all night. There is truth in what prisoner says. The potboy had only been with us a week, and the falling off in the takings had been going on all the time the prisoner was with us. Mr. Ilowett, inspector of the F Division, said the prosecutor gave him information seine days ago that he suspected he was being robbed. On Wed nesday he called again, and said he had been " had rather hot" the night before, having been robbed of 17s. ; and he should be obliged to give the barma❑ in custody. Witness went to the house and saw the prisoner, who at first denied having stolen any thing, and that he could .not be so ungrateful, as Mr. and Mrs. Smith had been so kind to him. He denied having given any money to Shorter. He said he had 17s. about him, but it had been given him by his father. The prisoner, after cross-examining the witnesses with considerable shrewdness, admitted having stolen the 35., but persisted in saying that he was tempted to do so by Shorter. He also adhered to the statement that his father gave him the 17s. He was remanded for the attendance of his father. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BURGLARIES.—THREE ( 2 HARGES.—Chas. Smith and Charles Lee, two lads, were charged, before Mr. Knox, with breaking and entering the dwell ing -house No. 36, Rathbone-place, and stealing on the 26th July 130 yards of silk, value £2l, the property of Mr. Applegate, umbrella maker ; and the same prisoners were charged, with another lad named Stephen Palmer, with breaking and entering the same house on the 28th June and 12th July, and stealing a quantity of silk umbrellas, of the value of £l3. Mr. Sayer, from the office of Messrs. E. Lewis and Co., Great Marlborough-street, appeared for Palmer. Smith and Lee were first placed at the bar. Mr. Joseph Applegate, umbrella maker, of No. 36, Rathbone-place, said I left my premises on Sunday morning about 9 o'clock and returned on Sunday night and went to bed. Some time after . wards 1 heard a noise and the rustling of silk, but did not get up. The next morning about 7 o'clock I communicated with the police, and on going into my workshop I missed from a drawer a quantity of silk. I found that the thieves must have got into the place through a window at the back, and foot marks were traced on to the window. Police-constable Robert Carter, 117 E—Yester day morning, about 11. o'clock, I was in Princes street, Leicester -square, in company of Chamber laine, 163 E, when I s kw the two prisoners in con versation together. I told them they were wanted for breaking and entering the house, 36, Rathbone place, on the night cf Sunday last, and stealing some rolls of silk. They both said they knew nothing about it. I then told them 1 should take them into custody, having received information that they knew all about it. Smith then said, " Charley, we know something about it. You can do as you like, but I would as soon be in prison as in the streets of Lon don." He then said, “If you will go with me I will show you where the silk is." Chamberlaine then took Smith and I took Leo. When we got into St. '_Martin's -street Lee said he lived at No. 19, and that I should find the silk in the kitchen, behind some boards, and on getting to the door he said, " Don't come in here, as I do not want my m ot h er to k n ow anything about it." He then rushed into the passage, and, the place being dark, I lost him for a minute, when he came down stairs and handed me a parcel of silk wrapped up. Mr. Knox—Are his parents actually residing in the house? Carter—They are, and seem respectable persons, but say their son will not work. I found that an entry bad been made into Mr. Applegate's place by means of some person letting the prisoner into the house, and. then getting through a window. Mr. Sayer—l believe it will be found that the boy living in the house let the prisoners in on two or three occasions. Mrs. gun Applegate, wife of th e prosecutor—l identify the silk as the property of my husband and of the value of £2l. Mr. Knox—Bring in Palmer. Stephen Palmer was then brought in and charged with the other prisoners with breaking and entering Mr. Applegate's house on different days and steal ing silk umbrellas. Robert Carter, 117 E, said—Yesterday morning when Smith and Lee were at the station 1 told them that they would also be charged with breaking and entering Mr. Applegate's house on two other days —namely, the 28th June and 12th July—and stealing some umbrellas. Smith said, 4, you have got the silk, and he may as well tell you where the umbrellas are. Some are pledged in Long-acre, and some near the University Hospital." I afterwards went to 129, Gower -street, a lodging house, kept by the prisoner Palmer's aunt, and saw Palmer. I told him what he was charged with, and he replied, "Don't speak here, as I don't want my aunt to know anything a b ou t i t. " Ile said he had pledged some of the silk umbrellas at Mr. Crouch's, near the University Thspital, and cn asking him how h e go t th em he said two boys living gave them to hi m . near the Haymarket By Mr. Sayer—l am sure Palmer said he pledged them. Mr. Knox—Carter, have you made any inquiries respecting the lads? 6arterLl have, and they are the-sons of respect able persona. An aseiatant to M.

This afternoon Lord REDESDALE, in the absence of the Lord Chancellor, took his seat on the woolsack at 4 o'clock. THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS BILL. With regard to the committee's reasons disagreeing with the Lords' amendment to this bill, it was resolved that the house do not insist upon their amendment. DISTRICT CHURCH TITHES ACT. THE POOR RELIEF BILL AND THE SALMON FISHERIES BILL. With regard to the Commons'7unendments these bills were agreed to with the exception of one clause in the first bill. The following bills ware read a third time :—luland Revenue, Election Petition, Danube Works Loan, and Colonial Governors' Suspension Act Amenduiant Bills. A message was then brought up from the Cominqns to the effect that the House of Commons did not insist on their amendments to the Election Petitions Bill anl Dis trict Church Tithes Act. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF CONIMONS—This EVENING. The SPEAKER. took the chair at 4 o'clock. CIRCULAR DELIVERY. Mr. IPLAREN asked the Chancellor of th, Excholuer whether the Treasury had yet decided in favour of allow ing the Post-office to carry printed matter not exceeding one ounce in weight for one halfpanuy ; and whether the Treasury would give orders not to take any further legal proceedings to impede the aetion of circular delivery com panies until after the meeting of the new Parliament ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that as regarded the first question the subject was under conside ration. He promised that no further prosecution should take place to impede the action of the Circular Delivery Company. MINES ASSESSMENT BILL. This bill was withdrawn. CHURCH RATES REGULATION BILL. This bill was also withdrawn, as was also the Church Rates Commutation Bill. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Mr. T. HUGHES called attention to the inaccurate state of the standard of weights and measures, and to the present system of enforcing the law, whereby half the penalties were paid to the informer. lie hoped the Govern ment would take the subject into consideration, and he thought the verification of weights and measures should take place more frequently, and that some mark should be affixed to the person convicted of using false weights. Mr. S. CAVE said a great deal of the difficulty was occasioned by circumstances over which there was u ) con- trol. The atmosphere had a great effect upon them, and, with respect to the more frequent verification, that would entail increased expanse oa tho staff of the office; and with respect to marking tha shops of dishonest traders as was done in France—where the traders had to pay for the making a tablet stating the -ffence of which he had boon convicted and the sentence passed —he thought that such a measure, although he should like to see it done, was too strong for this country. However, he would see that the matter was strictly looked into, and if the hon. member for Lambeth would favour him with any suggestions he would take care they were laid before the committee on the next sitting. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE said if the convictions iu a particular district had amounted to 1,200, the number of offences no doubt amounted to 12,000. The law, he thought, was too lenient on the subject, and he was afraid that the House looked upon it in the same light as they did bribery, as no offence at all. However, as they had determined to put down one, he hoped they would succeed in doing the same with the other. The law was too tender with regard to rogues. (Hear, hear.) He was the director of a large company, who suffered very severely from the rascality of the public—(hear, hear)—and it now appeared that to post up a description of the offence, with the name of the patty committing it, was contrary to the law, and that the person so treated might indict the per sons doing it for libel. He thought if they could brand the man it would be a good thing, because no one would trust a man with the letter "R" on his forehead. (Laughter.) Colonel SYKES hoped some steps would be made to assimilate the law of this country with respect to weights and measures to that of othe‘countries. THE CASE OF R. EDMUNDS. _ Mr BENTINCK then called the attention of the house to the case of Mr. Edmunds, who at one time held the office of clerk to the Patent-office. Mr. Edmunds had been accused of peculation of the public moneys, but whAn the case was argued before the Vice- Chancellor, his honour decreed that he had com- Vetely cleared his character, but directed an ac count to be taken. Proceedings, notwithstanding, were Will going on in the Court of Chancery, and ho begged to ask whether, under the circumstances, all proceedings should not be stayed. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the case referred to was still under consideration, ani 11) could not as a servant of the Crown state what would be the advice he should give it. Ms recommendation would be made known in a few days, and the hon. member might depend it would bo framed so that justice would be dealt to all. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Mr. S. BOOTH the* moved that the house at its rising adjourn until Friday next at half-past one.—Agreed to. The house shortly afterwards adjourned. MARRIAGE OF 111DLLE. ADELINA PATTI. Th• following appeared in onr Latest Edition of yesterday evening:— This morning the marriage of Mdlle. Adelina Patti with the Marquis de .Caux was celebratel at the Catholic Church of Our Lady of Victories, Clapham, belonging to the Reclemptorist Fathers. The church, which is small, was inconveniently crowded long before the time fixed for the ceremony. The bride was accompanied by her father, Signor Patti, and her entrance into the church very naturally created the liveliest interest among the spectators. She wore a white satin dress, with lace veil, and a wreath of green anl orange blossoms. The bride groom was accompanied by the French Ambassador, the Marquis de la Tour d'Auvergne, the Duke of Manchester, and other friends. The cere mony was performed by the Very Rev. F. Plunkett (son of the Earl of Fing ill), assisted by the Rev. Fathers Burke and Clarey. The register of the marriage was attested by the French Ambassador, the Duke of Manchester, and Mr. Mure. After hearing mass, the parties retired from the church amidst the congratulations of their friends and the plaudits of a large number of per sons who had assembled outside the building. SHOCKLVG TRAGEDY NEAR ROCHDALE. A shocking double murder has been committed near Rochdale. Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, as Mr. Superintendent Pickering was driving to the Rochdale Railway-station, he learned that at 4 o'clock that morning Ezra \Vhiteoak had murdered his two children and attempted to commit suicide. Accompanied by S.T,geant Dawson, Mr. Pickering hastily made his way to Whiteoaks farm, and found the youngest child on a couch downstairs with its throat dreadfully cut, and quite dead ; and by its side its brother, with terrible gashes across his throat. He was still alive, but unable to speak. Upstairs, in the children's bad, lay Ezra IVhiteoak, with his throat cut severely, the wind pipe and the gullet entirely severed, but the main artery was not,.aud he motioned to Mr. Pickering to leave the room, and gurgled out, " Let me die." About ten o'clock yesterday morning James White oak died, but the father still lived. He is in a dan gerous state. Yesterday afternoon the inquest was held at the Yew-tree publichouse, Buersilhead, be fore Mr. Molesworth, deputy-coroner. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder. Foreign Mail Packet List.
