XONEi - ' - kARNET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGiNCB, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. There has seldom been a more stagnant time for business on the Stock Exchange than the present. It is the universal complaint ; and from this cause, even more than from the season, the attendance is still falling off, whilst the public abstain from all transac tions in the way of investment. The funds at the best a re Only stationary ; but several foreign stocks are quoted at a nominal improvement. Railways remain at the final quotations of last night ; but they are for the most part weak, with more disposition in a languid Market to sell than to buy. There is a fair demand for money at 1 to 2 per cent, for the best bills, but without inducing any pressure. The payment is being made to-day upon the new stock of the East India Railway Company ranounting to £1,000,000. It is issued at 61 prem., consequently the actual amount to be provided is £1,007,500. A large portion, however, was paid yesterday. The Corn Market this morning is dull ; but prices are the same as on Monday. Consols aro steady at last night's close, at 93& to 0 4 , for money, and 94 to 94i for account. New a nd Reduced Three per Cents., 94 to 944 ; India Five per Cents., 1142 to 115 ; Bank Stock, 243 to 246 ; Exchequer Bills, 15s to 20s prem. In the Foreign Market, the chief improvement is in Egyptian Stock of 1862, which is 5 higher, at 825 to 83 4 ; but Spanish and Greek appear to be firmer in ten°. Turkish 5 per Cents. of 1865 is k lower, at 381 to 9 ; and Italian is lower, at 52k to 525.

They were 495 in number, of which 355 were for £lOO each, 70 for £5OO each, and 70 for £l,OOO each.

The three prisoners, Jarveel Frankle, Barnard llarris, and Oscar Rewman, remanded from last session, were indicted for feloniously having in their possession papers purporting to be Russian rouble notes, and also indicted for unlawfully conspiring to procure the engraving of certain plates and stones for the manufacture of spurious notes. The first two prisoners pleaded guilty, and no evidence being offered against Rewman he was acquitted. Sentence deferred. ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER. Thomas Smith, bricklayer, 21, was indicted for 'eloniously killing and slaying William Thomas Weaver. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased, his wife, and son were returning home to their re sidence in the neighbourhood of the Junction-road, Holloway, when the deceased proceeded forward for the purpose of opening the door, when he met two men near the spot. On the wife and son coming up the prisoner and the other man ran away, and the deceased was found lying on the door-step. It was afterwards discovered that he was insensible, and without the least delay the in jured man was conveyed to the University Hospital where he died. The son said he saw his father struggling with the prisoner, but there appeared to be no direct evidence as to the cause of the quarrel, or whether the injury was produced by a fall. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. ALLEGED MANSLAUGIITER OF A PUBLICAN. Dorothy Verdenhoven surrendered to an indict ment charging her with the manslaughter of her husband Conrad Verdenhoven, a licensed victualler. Mr. Cooper prosecuted, and Mr. Metcalf de fended. Mary Ann Goddard said she resided at 14, Can non-street-road, St. George's-in-the-East, and was in the service of the deceased, a licensed victualler. The sign of the house was the Duke of Wellington. On the 11th of July the deceased returned home in his chaise and prooeeded into the bar parlour to dinner, where the prisoner was. She heard some words passing between them, when in a short time after her master came into the kitchen and proceeded to wash some blood from his side. The prisoner came into the kitchen iu a very ex cited state afterwards, and said " Conrad, Conrad, let me attend to you." He said " No, don't pull me about." The prisoner then sent me for the nearest surgeon, but before going 'prisoner said, throwing her arms round my neck, " Oh, Jane, I didn't mean to do it." She (witness) did not recollect hearing her mistress say what had led to the quar rel. She found the black-handled dinner knife produced under the table in the bar-parlour. By Mr Metcalf—She heard her mistress say she did not intend to do it, but only to frighten de ceased. She (witness) also heard her master say when he left the kitchen that the injury be bad received was an accident. Her mistress was a very quiet, well-behaved woman, but her master (the deceased) was in the habit of drinking to ex cess, and then he acted in a very violent manner towards his wife. He had been drinking on the day in question. After she saw her master in the kitchen she perceived her mistress had a black eye. Charles Gee, inspector of police, said on the Sunday following he went to the Duke of Welling ton, and saw the deceased in bed. He told him that it was a very serious affair; when Verden hoven said, " Yes, but it's my fault." The prisoner said, " I will tell how it happened." She said, " Mr. Verdenhoven returned _home on the Satur day just at dinner time, and we had a quarrel. He struck me a blow in the face, and afterwards another, which blacked my eye. I then picked up a knife and struck at him, but I did not know that I had hurt him till I went to the kitchen, then to my horror I found I had stabbed him." The deceased persisted in saying that he was in fault, and in answer to questions whether he wished to charge his wife with the offence, he said, " No, certainly not ; it's all my fault." By Mr. Metcalf—The deceased from the first said it was an accident, and that it was all his own fault. Mr. Morrison, the surgeon, said 'chat very soon after the deceased had received the injury he pro ceeded to the house. He dressed the wound, which he found on the right side. Mr. Connelly, the surgeon, said he had made a post mortem examination of the deceased, and from the appearance of the wound he should say that the deceased had, by his own act in a great measure, caused the injury. It appeared as if he had given a lounge forward, and thus given force to the blow. The learned Judge said, after that evidence, if the jury were of opinion that the deceased had acted as supposed, and that the prisoner only in tended to alarm and not injure her husband there was an end of the case. The foreman of the jury said such was their opinion, and a verdict of not guilty was returned, an.' the prisoner was at mica discharged from custody. MR. BRIERLEY AGAIN. Mr. Brierley, the barrister, whose eccentric man ners has occasioned himself much inconvenience, and frequently interrupted public business in court, this morning again conducted himself in such a manner as to induce the learned judge (Mr. Justice Lush) to order him to leave the court. Later in the day Mr. Brierly appeared again, and made an apology for his conduct, with which the learned judge said he was quite satisfied. • , TH E SUN LONDONi WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUG UST 19, 1868. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-TlllB DAY. A I ARLBOROUGH-STR EET. HEARTLESS SYSTEMATIC ROBBING OF CHILDREN. —Elizabeth Duggin, described as a servant out of p lac;.", was chargal before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with stealing a pair of boots from the person of a little boy named George Roberts, about five years of age, whose parents reside in Moor-street, Soho. Mr. Win. Stephens, of No. 9, Church-street, Soho, bootmaker, said that between four and five o'clock the previous afternoon, in consequence of some children telling him that a woman was taking off a child's boots in a passage, he went to the pas sage of the house No. 29, Church-street, Soho, and saw the prisoner unlacing the boots of a little boy named George Roberts. lie asked her if the child belonged to her, and she said " Yes." He then turned to the little boy and asked him if the prisoner was his mother, and he sail " No." A young man then told him that he had seen the prisoner give the little boy something; and on his opening the child's hand he found a halfpenny in it which the prisoner hal given him. He then told the prisoner that he should give her into custody, and followed her into Soho-square, where, seeing a constable, he gave her into custody, when she said that she was a respectable woman, and that she would make him pay for it, but he was not at all afraid of that. The prisoner said she waatel the witness to give her in charge. The witnoss said that was not true, and that she dodged him and tried to get away. Inspector Morgan, C division, said there were other cases where the prisoner had robbed children . Robert Pickering, a young man, working in Dean-street, Soho, proved seeing the prisoner follow the child George Roberts, and the speaking to the witness Stephens. Charlotte Landfield, a little girl, living at 24, Stephens-street, lottenhatn-court-road, said that on the previous afternoon she was with a little girl, named Phoebe Boyce, when the prisoner said to Phoebe Boyce that if she would go with her she would give her some sweetstuff. The prisoner took Phoebe Boyce round to Tudor-place, and told her (witness) not to follow. She aft3rwards saw Phoebe Boyce without her boots, and went and told Mr. Boyce, who lived in the same house. Thos. Boyce, 55 E, said Phcobe Boyce was his daughter, and three and a half 'years of age. He saw her at his door with the last witnes3 yesterday afternoon, and on seeing her subsequently her boots were gone. Alfred Ilalliday,r o saven years of age, residing with his parents at 8, Wardour-street, proved that, on Monday last, the prisoner took off his boots, telling him that she was going to clean them as they were dirty. Inspector Morgan said that in this case he be lieved the prisoner promised the child something. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the little felow whether that was the case, and he said she promised him a locket. Inspector Morgan said a locket was found on the prisoner. Perhaps his worship would ask the child whether it was the one the prisoner showed him. Mr. Tyrwhitt showed the little boy the locket, and he said it was the one the prisoner promised him. Mrs. Ilalliday, the mother of the last witness, said be went out about five, and at half-past six he returned without his boots. Police-constable John Morgan, 183 C, said that when the prisoner was given into his custody she said she did not take off the boots. She refused her name and address at first. Nine duplicates were found upon her, some of them relating to boots, and also a locket.: Inspector Morgan asked for a remand, stating that he knew of another case, and he believed there would be several. The prisoner, who is a woman of middle stature, of sallow complexion, and was attired in a light muslin dress and black shawl and bonnet, was re• manded. CHURCH RATES AT DONCASTEA On Monday an important meeting of the seatholdeis of the Doncaster parish church as held at the vicarage— the vicar, the Rev. C. J. Vaughan, D.D., in the chair— when the important question of levying a new church rate or abolishing the rate altogether was considered. Dr. Vaughan pointed out the position in which the parish stood under the new Act, and it was explained that three courses were open to the meet ing. One was to levy an increased rate, and trust to the liberality of the parishioners to supply the necessary funds, as heretofore, the rate being levied over a much smaller area than formerly ; a second course was to abolish the rate altogether, and to increase in its place the rents of the seatholders in sufficient degree to meet the deficiency ; and the third course was to abolish the rate and have an offertory, morning and evening, once a month, for the purpose of meeting those expenses hitherto defrayed out of the rate. The vicar set these several pro positions fully and clearly before the meeting, and a resolution was finally passed to the effect that the meeting recommended the abolition of the rate and the substitu tion of, a monthly offertory. The churchwardens then announced that it was not their intention to ask for a rate, and the vicar stated that he should have pleasure in giving the recommendation of the meeting all the effect possible. It was said during the meeting, that where a three-half penny rate had hitherto been sufficient, collected from the town, an eightpenny or ninepenny rate would be required, collected from the parish only. MR. GOLDWIN SMITH ON THINGS IN GENERAL. Mr. Goldwin Smith addressed on Tuesday the Liberal elec tors of the borough of Woodstock. In consequence of the absence, through illness, of Mr. Brodrick (the Liberal candidate for the borough), Mr. Smith took that gentle. man's place, and recommended him to the constituency as a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament. Apologising for interference in an election with which really (except as the personal friend of Mr. Brodrick) he had nothing to do, Mr. Smith read and commented upon the candidate's address. Having laid a statement of Mr. Brodrick's position before the electors on his own account, Mr. Smith added that he heartily hoped this great extension of the franchise, this great recognition of the rights of the people, this great improvement of our institutions, would be accompanied with an improvement in the mode of election. He trusted that with the extended constituency they were going to leave behind the evil influences that prevailed with constituencies in former days. Depend upon it, if a man paid money down, or there was any other corrupt consideration whatever, that which he had bought he would sell ; he would sell it for a place, for social position, for entrance to Ministers' parties, or for something else that would as effectually prevent him from being a worthy member as if he was bought with money. Therefore, if they wished to have their share of the benefits which a really popular Government could bestow, they must send to Parliament a man who had not bought them, and who would not sell them. Let them hope also that this duty which the Legislature had im posed upon the great mass of the people, would be re spected by the powerful and the rich. If they desired that the poor man should resist the temptation in his hour of distress to trespass upon their rights, let them set him the example by carefully respecting the rights the State had bestowed upon him. They met there not merely in the interests of the party, but in the inte rests of their country, and he hoped what they might do that clay might tend to the benefit not merely of one party or of one class, but of classes and all parties, of rich and poor, of farmer and farm labourer, of employer and em ployed, of every man who bore the name of Englishman, and shared in the greatness and happiness of England.

It appeared from the evidence of Mr Plumb that he was walking along 0 viugton-taraca when the prisoners Hagan said he was looking at them and ordered him on. Ile stopped and looked at them, and Daniel Hagan attacked him and covered him in blood by repeated blows in the face, and the other prisoner used bad language and excited his brother. Mr. James Thompson, a gentleman, corrobo rated. From the evidence of the police-constable, enu merated above, it appeared that when James went to take Daniel Hagan, his brother got him down, kicked him, and tore the hair out of his head, as well as his whiskers ; Daniel Hagan was so vio lent, and assaulted Seymour, 190 B, so that M'Kay had to draw his staff and use it. Daniel Hagan was taken to the station on a stretcher, and Kennedy was proved to have used bad language, and also took hold of Tucker, and incited an excited mob to rescue the prisoner from custody. Mr. Selfe advocated the use of the truncheon in such cases as the present, sentenced Daniel Hagan to six weeks' hard labour, his brother to a month, and fined Kennedy 10s., or seven days. THAAIES. ----- EXTRAORDINARY CASE —ASSAULT ON THE POLICE. —William Jackman, a man employed at the Com mercial Gas Works, Stepney, was brought before AIL Paget charged with assaulting police-constable John Perks, No. 384 K. The prisoner, a tall and very powerful fellow, and with huge fists, has hitherto maintained a good character as a quiet, sober, and indus trious man. He was once severely burnt in the prosecution of his labours, and was in the Lon - don Hospital under medical treatment for three years. He was a teetotaller for a long time, and has only recently broken out into habits of in temperance. He received ss. for some extra work yesterday morning, and began to drink heavily. In the afternoon he presented himself very drunk and noisy at the Ben Jonson publichouse in the Rhodes well-road, near the gasworks. He demanded liquor, which the landlord of the house refused to supply him with. The prisoner made a great noise, swore at the landlord and threatened him. A disorderlypob collected and police sergeant Harvey, No 1 K It, was sent for, who did all he could to persuade the prisoner to leave and go home. He refused to do so, and "blackguarded" the officer for a long time. Harvey laid hold of him, and he pulled of his coat and made a stout resistance. The prisoner seized a bar of iron fixed to a house and clung to it. Harvey got him away from that, and he threw himself on the ground and plunged and kicked violently. Perks, 384 K, came to the assistance of Harvey, and the prisoner aimed a kick at the lower part of his person. The blow reached the ." pit of the stomach," and took the constable's breath away. Perks rallied and seized the prisoner, who attempted t o strang l e h i m. Perks was bla c k in the face, a n d wou l d h ave been strangled if Harvey had not struck the prisoner on the hands, and compelled him to relax his hold of the constable's throat. A long and fierce struggle took place, and the prisoner, who frequently kicked Perks, was ultimately subdued and locked up. The prisoner pleaded drunkenness as an excuse for his conduct. Mary Ann Page, of Bow, the prisoner's sister, spoke on his behalf, and alluded to his three years' sufferings, the illness of his wife, who could not at tend to her domestic duties, and said if her brother was convicted and sent to prison the wife must go to a workhouse or an infirmary. Mr. Pagel—l cannot help that. The sister—llls foot was burnt off him, and he was in the hospital three years. Mr. Paget said it was a melancholy thing that families and relations were often reduced to a state of privation and ruin by the misconduct of one member of it. It was so in this case. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for one month and kept to hard labour. THE CHURCH CONGRESS OF 1868.

From the Registrar-General's weekly return it appears that in the week that ended on Saturday, August 15, 4,141 births and 3,573 deaths were registered in London and in thirteen other large towns in the United Kingdom. The annual rate of mortality was 29 per 1,000 persons living. The annual rate of mortality last week was 24 per 1,000 in London, 27 in Edinburgh, and 26 in Dublin, 25 in Bristol, 36 in Birmingham, 36 in Liverpool, 44 in Manchester, 42 in Salford, 34 in Sheffield, 32 in Bradford, 36 in Leeds, 34 in Hull, 31 in New castle-upon-Tyne, and 29 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 28 per 1,000 during the week ending the Bth instant, when the mean temperature was 2.7 deg. Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in London, where the rate was 26. The deaths of 223 children and 22 adults from diarrhcea were recorded. Cholera or choleraic diarrhcea proved fatal to 19 children and 10 adults. The mortality from diarrhcea exhibits a decrease, but the number of deaths from cholera was the same as in the preceding week. The necessity for prompt and active treatment of these diseases in the earliest stage cannot be too generally known. Many lives would be saved if medical aid were obtained at the onset. The deaths of 3 persons from sunstroke were recorded last week ; in the three preceding weeks 11, 6, and 4 fatal eases were regis tered. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.630 in. The barometrical reading decreased from 30.01 in. on Sunday, August 9, to 29.34 in. on Thursday, August 13. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 64.3 deg., which is 2.4 deg. above the average of the same week in 50 years (as deter mined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 82.7 deg., on Monday, August 10. The lowest night temperature was 52.0 deg. on Friday, August 14. The mean degree of humidity in the air was 71, complete satu ration being represented by 100. Rain fell to the amount of 0.37 in., of which 0.13!n. fell on Tuesday, 11th August, and 0.23 on Thursday, 13th August. On Tuesday, 11th August, the rainfall at Hull amounted to 1.22 in., at Wakefield to 0.80 in., and at Eccles to 0.72 in. The general direction of the wind was variable. Ozone was observed on six days during the week. CURIOUS EFFECT OF LIGIITNING.—The follow ing has been communicated to the Academy of Sciences by M. A. Bobierre. About a fortnight ago the city of Nantes was visited by a violent storm. Flashes of light ning followed each other in quick succession, and a gentle man, who happened to be crossing one of the bridges of the Canal de Bretagne at the time, suddenly found himself enveloped in a blaze of light. The phenomenon lasted little more than a second, and caused no unpleasant effect. On returning home, the informant, having occasion to count the money in his purse, arrived at the conclusion that he must 'have received a piece of fifty centimes instead of a half-napoleon. But on a closer investigation he discovered, to his astonishment, that the piece of money he had taken for silver was really the gold one, but covered with a thin film of silver. The following is the explanation given by M. A. Bobierre of this strange occurrence. The half. napoleon had been put into the compartment of the purse adjoining that containing silver coin. The electric fluid had volatised part of the latter metal, which in this state had penetrated through the leather partition, and depo sited itself on the gold piece with remarkable uniformity. This is the first time such an effect has ever been olgerved. Railways 4118;01 and Exeter .... Jaledonian ,lorn ull Dublin & Belfast June Dun„restli,&Ab.Junc. East L. ndon , Do DJ iiatigOW ttt S.

The falling off in the attendance to-day was most marked, the ring and stand being but poorly patronised. From the rain of the previous day and night the going was very heavy, and this, combined with small fields, made the spot anything but interesting. Indeed, the jockeys, in the majority of events, left the issue to the last quarter of a mile. The arrangement 3 of the meeting were perfect, and by the energy of Mr. Manning punctual time was kept, and all were enabled to get back to town early. Tho first event was won by Precocious, who landed his backers' money very easily, and the talent had another success in the next event with Triana, on whom the money was lumped. In the Princess of Wales Stakes, Arlington, when lying in front, swerved right across the course ; and in the Barons Stakes the saddle slipped round with Viney, putting him hors de combat. Beyond these incidents, the running calls for no further details than will be found below.:— A Handicap Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, 3 ft, with 50 added, for two and three year obis; winners extra. Half a mile. 15 subs. Mr T.

Precocious got away with a very slight lead of flue and Cry, but the latter quickly got on level terms with the leader, and the pair raced side by side to within the dis tance, Soffinka being close up. Here Soffinka challenged the leading pair, but Precocious maintaining his advan tage won easily by three-quarters of a length, a length separating second and third. The Surrey and Middlesex Stakes of 15 soya each, 10 ft, and 5 only if declared ; winners extra. One mile and a half. 8 subs, sof whom pay 5 sous each. Mr Broad us Triana, by Lord of the Isles—Seville, 3 yrs, 6st 131 b (James Clark) 1 MrJ.

Distaff jumped off with the lead, followed by Nutrition for a quarter of a mile, when the favourite ran into second place. Coming into the straight for home Triana and Distaff came away, and the young one, always having the best of it, won in a canter by three parts of a length, Nutri tion being a bad third. The Denham Stakes of 3 sovs each, with 50 added ; weight for age, with selling allowances. Three-quarters of a mile. Mr W. Treen's Sundew, by Umpire—Linda, 2 yrs, (X3O) sst 71b (car sst 81b) (Jas.

Betting. -5 to 2 each agst Sundow and Diamond, 7to 2 agst Una. Diamond made play to the bushes, where Sundow, fol. lowed by Country Bumpkin, took up the running. In this order they ran to the Stand, where Barnard and Una came up with a rush and nearly caught Clark napping, who, however, won by half a length, a length separating second and third, the others close up. The winner was bought in for 50 soya. The Duko of Edinburgh Cup (Handicap), a Sweepstakes of 10 soya each, [5 ft, with 150 added; winners extra. One mile, straight. 16 subs. Mr J.

At the fall of the flag Lord Ronald jumped away with the lead, followed by Second-hand and Court Card. After going a quarter of a mile Lord Ronald gave way, and Second-hand on the near side and Court Card on the far side of the course came on with a clear lead, A quarter of a mile from home Harlington came to the front, and for a short distance held the lead, but at the cords Breach of Promise joined him, and a fine race home resulted in favour of the former by a head ; Court Card was a bad third, Second-hand fourth, and Serin3apatain fifth. Lord Ronald pulled up lame. The Princess of Wales's Plate of 100 sova ; for all ages ; selling penalties and other allowances; the winner to be sold for 1,000 sovs ; if not to be sold to carry 91b extra.

The winner was not sold. The Magna Charta Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 50 added ; two-yr-olds, 7st 21b; three-yr-old; 9st; with selling and other allowances. T.Y.C.

They caught at five of them, and tho one which Mr. Armstrong, with great exertions, was enabled to retain was Gi feet long, and weighed 13 stone. He discharged five shots into its body before it could be secured ; and the size of the monster when brought ashore greatly surprised the visitors at that watering place. According to the 1 7 a - dreland of August 12 pre parations aro being made to lay a telegrvh cable botween Denmark and Russia. MARKE7S-7 Ills DAY. CORN. The weather continues wet and cloudy, and very favour able for pasture lands, but affects the progress of the har vest in the North. The wheat trade continues dull, with drooping prices. From the provinces reports quote flat markets generally. At Mark lace this morning there was only a snail attendance, but a very limited demand for either English or foreign wheat ; but supplies being light, sales were not pressed, and prices remain nominally the same as on Mon day. Floating cargoes of wheat are dull, and have been sold Is low er • 45s per 4801 b taken for one of Danubian off the coast. Foreign grinding barley tends in favour of buyers. Malting qualities unchanged. Beans and pease remain without quotable change. 2„j Flour a slow sale, without quotable change in price. With largo arrivals of oats, principally Russian, buyers had the advantage in choice and price, but not to alter quotations. The tendency of this market is, however, in favour of purchasers, the weather being favourable for green crops, and the Archangel fleet, with some 9,000 qrs., being now nearly due. _ _ Linseed continues very dulll, Calcutta offering at 62s on the fip3t. Linseed cake is less in demand, and drooping in value. A largo quantity of mustard seed offering, and demand very dull. Maize rather firmer. COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. Sugar—The market is extremely dull for both bonded and floating cargoes, and to effect orders of any quantity lower rates would have to be taken. Coffee.—The market has opened flatly, and prices tend in favour of buyers, increased stocks having an adverse influence. Tea.—The auctions were resumed this morning, and have progressed with moderate spirit, at late yesterday's rates. Rice.—The demand is very dull and prices drooping. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.
