NARKE AND COMMERCIAL INTZLLIUEZWE, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Tne btock Markets are inactive, but without any Material change in prices. The Funds remain dull, from the fact that a considerable amount of stock is open for a rise in prices ; while the public are doing nothing towards taking it out of the market. Foreign stocks, on the other hand, remain firm, with a light improvement in Egyptian and Turkish. Brazi lian maintain yesterday's advance, but they are rather less strong. In the Railway Market, the only change or itnportance is a recovery of per sent. in Sheffield. Ilia attendance continues very thin, and there is almost an entire absence of speculative transactions. The demand for money is rather good, at 1 to 2 Per cent. To-morrow a payment has to be made of £1,067,500 on account of the East Indian Railway new stock ; and the preparations against this liability are producing some effect. Consols opened dull, and remain at 9n• to 94 for ni°llo 3', and 94 to 941 for account. New and Re duced Three per Cents., 94 to 94. k.

Eli Fermi was indicted for feloniously and mali ciously sending and causing to be received by Basi Melas certain letters threatening to kill and mur der him. It will be remerubered that at the July sessions the prisoner was tried on a charge of sending threatening letters to the prosecutor, but the case was withdrawn from the consideration of the jury in the hope that the defendant might gave some security for his future good behaviour towards the prosecutor, but various matters since then having come to light, it was thought advisable to proceed with the present indictment from the discoveries that had been made and the previous antecedents of the prisoner, he having suffered im prisonment for stabbing an Italian but a short time ago. The facts of the case were simply as follows : —The prosecutor was a gentleman carrying on business in the City ; and the prisoner was a pub lisher, and formally the proprietor and editor of a paper connected with shipping, having at one time a large circulation, and producing the prisoner £7OO per annum. A rival paper was started, and it being conducted on a larger scale, and containing fuller information, the circulation of the prisoner's paper began to fall off, and eventually stopped altogether. The family of the prisoner, in conse quence, became so much reduced that• they became in need of temporary assistance. Mr. Melas, amongst others, was written to for help, and ho with others befriended the prisoner and his family, but after some time he received letters demanding a sum of money, no less than £14,000 in amount, as compensation for the injury he had inflicted on the prisoner. There was no ground for such a claim, and of course the prosecutor took no notice of such a communication, and ulti • mately a letter was received of the most alarming description, threatening the prosecutor with death, telling him his end was near, and that no one could nave him. A strict search of the prisoner's lodgings had resulted in the finding of a six chamber re volver loaded, and many other- suspicious matters that led to the present prosecution. Mr. M. Williams made a strong appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and contended that the words " make the sign of the cross," and other such expressions, were made use of by the prisoner not for the purpose of threatening the life of the prosecutor, but to strengthen the prisoner's appeal to the prosecutor for assistance. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Metcalf, on behalf of Mr. Dombroach, the gentleman stabbed by the prisoner last year, said he felt that it was necessary something should be done to protect his client, and he felt certain the prisoner, on the first opportunity that presented it self, would do him an injury, perhaps murder him. The Recorder said, under such circum3tances, he should postpone passing sentence until next ses sion. MARKE7S-7 MS DAY. POTATOES. The supplies of English aro better, but the proportion of Ware is small. These descriptions aro consequently dearer, whilst small middlings are relatively abundant, and sell at enhanced rates. We quote best Regents 58 and £9, still very scarce and dear. Cabbages very indifferent in quality, 28 to 4s. per dozen ; greens, 4s to lOs ; carrots, 6s to 12s per dozen bunches. There are no turnips at mar ket. Onions, 4s to 62 per dozen bunches; loose, £7 to £8 per ton. Fruit is very abundant, very fine, and very cheap. Plums 3s to ss, apples is to 3s, peals 38 to 6s, damsons 4s to 6s, greengages 3s to 5s per bushel. HAY AND STRAW. Supplies of hay stuffs at Whitechapel this morning wore moderato, and the weather being wet the demand was not so good, with prices, in some cases, barely so firm, but hardly to alter quotations. Old clover still ranges up to £7, and new up to £6 15s; old meadow to £6; and new to £5 18s. The new straw comes to market in fair quantity, and is ex tremely bright and fine. Fine brings 388 currently, and owing to the wet some loads of inferior qualities ranged down to 3ls per loid. COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. Sugar—Transactions of some extent have taken place in floating cargoes on former terms. Ton to 10i Havana sold at 24s 3d, and 13 at 25s 9d. On the spot the demand is dull, and sales easier. The stock has decreased to 77,000 tons, against 100,000 tons last year. Coffee.—The market for celery qualities is steady, but the large increase in the stocks renders buyers more cautious in their operations. Native kinds are dull, at 44s to 4Gs for fair to good ordinary Ceylon. COTTON. LIVERPOOL, Aut. 18.—Sales probably 15,000 bales. Market very firm. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. GRA.I7i:SEND, Tuesday Morning. Arrived, Aug. 17—Augusto, from Archangel.

EDINBURGH PHILOSOPHICAL INSTITUTION,---Mr. Bowie, s3cretary of this institution, has received the fol lowing letter from Mr. Carlyle, accepting the office of President, to which ho was elected on the 29th ult.:— The Hill, Dumfries, Aug. 10, 1868. Dear Sir,—Your agreeable announcement has come round to mo here. It is indisputable. I could not have boon chosen to the pre sidency of your distinguished institution in a way more to my mind, or on terms less onerous. Of course, I accept the honour, and intend to wear it so long as I am per mitted. . . . I reckon it a spontaneous, gratuitous, and honest mark of respect, and value it as I should do few others. With every good wish for the institution I have become honorary head of, and regretting that I have no thing but wishes to give it, I remain yours sincerely, T. CARLYLE." POST-OFFICE INSURANCES AND ANNUITIES.—ThO system of granting small Government insurances and annuities through the medium of the Post-office com menced in April, 1865.

POLICE IN B OW-STREET. THE EFFECTS OF GETTING DRUNE.—EIIen Clarke, No. 8, Parker-street, Drury-lane, and Mary Lydde, No. 12, King-street, Drury-lane, were charged be fore Mr. Flowers with stealing a bundle containing a pair of trowsers and waistcoat, the property of John Bywater, No. 8, Regent-street, Pimlico, a carpenter. It appeared from the evidence of Police-constable David Gamble, 045 F, that he was , watching the prisoners, and saw them go into the Constitution public-house, Drury-lane, where the prosecutor was. Tey stood at the counter with him, and upon which he had placed a bundle. The prosecutor was the worse for drink, and shortly afterwards one of the prisoners took up the bundle, and the prose cutor went to the door, where he fell down. The prisoner immediately ran away up Drury-lane with the bundle, and he (the police officer) followed them. He overtook them at Great Queen-street, Drury-lane, when the prisoner, who had the bundle, said that the clothes belonged to her husband, and that she had been taking them out of pawn." Wit ness knew them well as street prowlers, and there fore took them into custody. He then went back to the prosecutor, whom he found in the same drunken condition, and accordingly he took him to the Bow -street Police-station. The prosecutor stated that the bundle belonged to him, but that he did not know anything about the matter until he found himself in the cells. His own im pression was that he bad been drugged. It was stated that this clam of robberies had be come very frequent of late in Drury-lane and the immediate neighbourhood, and accordingly Mr. Flowers remanded th e prisoners, iu order that inquiries might be made as to their character. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE LITTLE FRENCHMAN AND THE LODGING - HOUSE KEEPER.—SINGULAR CASE.--Frederick For bac, a Frenchman, of diminutive stature, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant with using threatening language towarde Mrs. Harriet Finch,lodging-house keeper, of No. 25, Duke-street, St. James's. Mr. Edward James, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the complainant, and said the pri soner was charged with using threats towards Mrs. Finch. A summons had been taken out against the prisoner by Mrs. Finch, and it was fixed for hearing on Thursday next, and one would have thought that on the receipt of that the prisoner would have remained quiet, but instead of doing so he went to the complainant's house on Saturday night and again threatened her, and she had there fore been obliged to obtain the present warrant, and apply for his worship's protection, feeling that she went in danger of the prisoner. Mrs. Finch said that the prisoner, who was a teacher of languages, formerly lived in her house, but she was compelled to give him notice to quit in consequence of his making' improper overtures to her, her husband being absent at the time, and ever since he had been in the habit of sending her anonymous letters. Mr. Lewis handed Mr. Tyrwhitt one of the let ters, which were written in a rhapsodical, half amatory, and half obscene style for his perusal. Mrs. Finch said that in consequence of the an noyance she received she applied on Thursday for a summons at that court, and on Saturday last the prisoner —who had called several times in her ab sence during the day—came about 6 o'clock in the evening, when she told him to go away quietly . Instead of doing so the prisoner set to abusing her, called her a murderer, and caused about 100 per sons to collect round the house. The prisoner also threatened to ruin her and her character, and to kill her. The prisoner said he had left her house, had callel about forty times, and every timo she sent for a constable he walked away. She went in fear of the prisoner. Police-constable Henry Dawson, 12 C R, said that on apprehending the prisoner and telling llina the charge, he said it was all a lie,, awl he after wards said that he would expose Mrs. Finch, as he knew all her secrets. That morning the prisoner gave him a letter, and wished him to hand it to Mrs. Finch. Mr. Lewis said the letter substantially retracted all the charges the prisoner had made against Mrs. Finch. The letter was as follows :—" I hereby declare, in the presence of witnesses, that all what I have said on the 15th instant, and before, c meerning Mrs. Finch, was said in a state of intoxication, and hereby declare that all that was false ; and I fur thermore declare that I am very sorry for having used such expressions. Fredk. Forbac, 14, Ryder street." The prisoner made a long statement in answer to' the charge, but although the prisoner described himself as " a teacher of languages," it was per fectly unintelligible. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner had tried to do all the mischief he could to the complainant, and when taken up for it began to flinch and withdraw his charges against her. The prisoner was one of those mischievous fellows who haunted London and called themselves " teachers of languages." The prisoner would have to find two sureties in £2O each for six months. On being taken to the cells the prisoner pretended to faint, and afterwards set to howling hideously. IVESTAIIITER. HEARTLESS ROBBERY OF A WIDOW. - Louisa Stocker was charged with stealing three sheets, and other articles, value £3O, entrusted to her mistress, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Marsh, a laundress, carrying on business at 26, Marlborough-road, Chelsea. It appeared that the prisoner was in the service of the prosecutrix, a widow, as ironer, with 13 other women, and had been there seven months. Unlimited confidence wa3 reposed in her, and she had access to everything. Of late the prosecutrix has missed sheets, table-cloths, dresses, and various other articles belonging to her custo mers, and has had to replace them at great expense, besides losing her customers. Mrs. Marsh having left her in the laundry one day found a sheet after wards missing, and discharged her. She came a day or two after and asked if she was,suspeeted, and tried to throw the blame on the other women. The prosecutor said no, and she left, but the police were communicated with, and Watts, a detective, found a great deal of property at Mrs. lleighana's, a pawn broker in Fulham-road, and this was proved by the assistant to have been part pledged by the prisoner. At the station she first denied the charge, but afterwards said she took part of the property. She was fully committed for trial, adhering to her former statement. THAMES. MUNIFIC;ENCE.—On Mr. Paget taking his seat h© announced that he on the bench this morning had received a cheque for £lOO for the poor-box fund from Walter Cave, Esq., of No. 23, Lewndes street. We understand that the same benevolent gentleman has given a similar donation to the poor box of all the police courts in the metropolis. - MAGISTERIAL CENSURE ON SIIOPILEEPERS. —John 'onnady or Kennedy, a stout, ruddy-faced me chanic, about 25 years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing six cotton hand kerchiefs, value 15d., the property of Thomas Bryant, a linendraper, of Nos. 19 and 20, High street, Bow. A police-constable named James Hassam, No. 77 stated that he was on Bow-bridge yesterday evening dh h saw the e r prisoner li coming towards hi m with so coat, under which h e cou ld see the ends of some cotton handkerchiefs. He ap proached the prisoner and saw him take a large card with 24d. written upon it in large letters from under his coat and throw it over the parapet of the bridge into the water. He took from the prisoner six white cotton handkerchiefs. He asked the pri soner where he obtained them, to which he replied that be bought them at Mr. Bryant's shop, a few yards from the bridge, which he pointed out. He took the prisoner into custody, and he then said he stole the handkerchiefs from a stall. The police-constable in charge of the case said ,he prisoner was certainly intoxicated. Henry Vero Lawrence, apprentice to ITi, Dryant, said that the handkerchiefs were his master's pro perty. Their value was 15d. The y were hanging to the iron of the window-blind outside the shop. The prisoner said he was a hard.-working man, and not a thief. He had a drop too much last night, or he would nc,t have taken the handkerchiefs. Mr. Paget said he had heard. the judges over and. over again condemn the practice of shopkeepers expobing goods for sale outside their shops. He (Mr. Paget) had already complained of the tempta tions held out by tradesmen by the system. It could not be too sufficiently reprobated. Here was a man charged with stealing a few trumpery hand kerchiefs hanging outside a shop. It was most scandalous. It was an incitement to plunder. Tradesmen had no right legally or morally to do it. He should remand the prisoner for inquiries to be made about him. THIS DAY. ELECTION IATELLIGENCE. BURNLEY.—The suffra;es of the constituency of this new-created borough have been asked for Sir James Searlett, at present the General Com manding at Aldershot, who professos Conservative opinions. The General will address the electors this (Tuesday) evening. FINSBURY.—There is a rumour that Sir Samuel Baker, the African traveller, will come forward in the Conservative interest for this borough. lIULL.—An address, specially directed to the artisans, mechanics, and wcrkmen:of this borough, has been promulgated by Messrs. Clay and Nor wood, the Liberal candidates, stating their deter mination not to ask the permission of the em ployers of this class of voters to canvass them at their places of business, or during the . hours of their attendance. ISLE OF WIGHT.—Some anxiety was felt by the .Liberal electors of the island as to the way in which, in the event of a contest, Mr. Ward, the proprietor of the Northwood estate, and one of the largest landed proprietors in the Isle of Wight, would vote. Mr. Ward voted in opposi tion to Sir John Simeon at the last general election, but it was thought that ho would not do so at the next contest. Mr. Ward has now published a letter, in which he says that he is prepared to do every thing in his power to secure Sir John's return, be cause he will vote for the overthrow of the most monstrous ecclesiastical abuse in Christendom-- the Irish Establishment. Captain Nugent, a rela tive of Lord Southampton, is mentioned as a gen tleman who has been asked to contest the island on Conservative principles. The declaration ;made by Mr. Ward will add immense strength to the hands of Sir John Simeon, and render more certain the utter hopelessness of an opposition to his candi dature. MACCLESFIELD.—There are three candidates in the field for this borough :—W. C. Brocklehurst, Esq., son of the present M.P. (Liberal) ; David Chadwick, Esq., who was defeated at the last elec tion (Radical) ; and W. M. Eaton, Esq., of the firm of Eaton and Sons, London, silk brokers. Each candidate fights for his own hand, and the contest is expected to be a very severe one. Mr. Chadwick arrived here on Saturdoy, and addressed an open air meeting. MARLOW. —The single seat which remains to this borough will be again sought by Colonel Peers Williams, who has represented the place uninter ruptedly since 1826, and will, if returned, hold the position of " Father of the House." MONMOUTHSHIRE.—This county will be contested by Colonel Clifford (Liberal), against the present Conservative members, Colonel Somerset and Mr. Octavius Morgan. NEWPORT, MONMOUTIISHIRE.—The rival canvass for this borough goes on actively, both candidates —Sir John Ramsden (Liberal) and Mr. llomfrey (Conservative)—boasting of unequivocal success. OXFORDSHIRE.--It is understood that an arrange ment has been_come to by which Colonel cane who has represented the county since 1862, in the Con servative interest, will retire, and Mr. Cartwright, of Ayrhoe, a Liberal, will be unopposed the third member, Mr. Henley and Colonel North retain ing their seats. It is said that but for this compro mise Mr. Henley's seat would have been in danger. PETERBORO if GIL —Mr. Thomson Hankey, who has represented this borough as a Liberal since 1853, has commenced a personal canvass of the electors, and delivered a long and elaborate exposition of his principles and review of his parliamentary conduct. PONTEFRACT.—Mr. Hugh Childers, who seeks re election in this borough, has issued his address, in which he states :—" I am satisfied that our public expenditure, which has increased by above three millions a year since the present Government took office, requires more vigilant control, and that the deficit which now appears in the national ba lance-sheet might have been avoided without pre judice to the public service. I shall also be pre pared to assist in remedying the defects, many of which are already manifest, in the recent law amend ing the representation of the people. On the sub ject which above all others at the. present moment engages public attention lam anxious that my sentiments should be publicly expressed. Early in the last session her Majesty's Ministers, after for mal notices in both Houses' of Parliament, pro pounded a policy with respect to the civil and re ligious affairs of Ireland calculated, as they ex pressed it, to reconcile races, and terminate the sorrows of afflicted centuries. They had arrived at the conclusion that justice re quired the equality of all churches and ecclesiastical arrangements in Ireland ; but having resolved to maintain intact the revenues of the Established Church, they found that religi ous equality could only be secured by the elevation of other denominations ; they accordingly declared that the stipends paid by Parliament to the Pres byterian clergy were miserable and inadequate, and that the status of the Roman Catholic priests ought to be improved, and they proposed to give a royal charter to a Roman Catholic university, its expenses being defrayed by the State. Although expressed in somewhat vague language, these proposals unmis takeably pointed to the concurrent endowment of the Episcopalian, Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic Churches. But in my opinion ecclesiastical equality in Ireland would be better secured by the dis establishment of the Church, to which only one eighth part of the population belongs, and by the withdrawal of the Regium Donum and the graut to Maynooth. 1, therefore, voted for Mr. Gladstone's resolutions ; and I hope that the coming Parliament will give effect to them, dealing at the same time most liberally with all vested in terests and private or personal rights. Sincerely attached as I am to the Protestant Church of England, I believe that her welfare and her security as an establishment, so far from being diminished, will be increased by this policy." Major Water house will again stand as a Conservative, and it is understood that Mr. C. G. Milnes Gaskell has been asked to undertake to contest the second scat in conjunction with Mr. Childers. SURREY (VEsT).--An address to the electors of this division of Surrey has been issued by Mr. Pennington, who on Liberal prin- ciplea opposes Mr. Cubitt, the present Conservative, directly, and it is to be presumed indirectly Mr. Briscoe also is, as this latter gentleman, although nominally and indeed generally a member of the existing Opposition, declined to vote with Mr. Gladstone on the question of the Irish Church. TOWER HAMLETS.-A meeting was held yester day of the supporters of Mr. Octavius Coope, which was attended by the hon. gentleman, and a requisi tion to him to stand on Conservative principles was presented to him. The adherents of Mr. Ayrton are in a state of activity, a number of committees (central and district) being in course of formation to assist in securing his election. WESTMINSTER,—:Mr. W. H. Smith, the Conserva tive candidate, has issued his address. As may be supposed, his creed is that of the Prime Minister, who has directly tendered to him his countenance and support. YORICSIIIIIE (WEST RIDING.) —At Leeds, yester day, a meeting of Liberals was held, for the pur pose of selecting a candidate to co-operate with Mr. Hairy Thomi son in contesting the eastern division of this district of Yorkshire. In the result, Mr. Isaac Holden, now one of the members for Knaresborough, was-chosen, and he consented to be put in nomination. It was understood that Mr. Alfred Illingworth, of Bradford, will contest the ono seat left to ltharcsborou4h in place of Mr. Holden, 001.,OASIrt.l.

The First City of London Engineer Volunteers, under the command of Lieutenant Col. Garnetman, had their annual inspection at their drill ground Islington, on Saturday evening last, by Col. Ewart, C.D., the commanding Royal Engineer of the Lon don district. After the inspecting officer had passed down the ranks and examined the arms and accou trements, the line was put through the manual and platoon exercises by Lieut. E. W. Stillwell. The battalion then broke into open column of five com panies and marched past ; several battalion move ments were then gone through before the com manding officer, after which Colonel Ewart visited the modelling shed and inspected the various engi neering works executed by members of the corps. These works consisted of several kinds of batteries, double and single sap, several flying and spar bridges —the former similar to that used at the recent siege operations at Chatham—an attack by fieldworks upon Vauban's first system of fortification, a square redoubt, and a floating barrel bridge. Col. Ewart expressed the pleasure he had felt on inspecting the corps on previous occasions, and was glad to notice the increase of their numbers since the last inspec tion, although he would have liked to have seen a larger number on parade, one-fourth being absent. He had seen them both in their general capacity as soldiers and also in their special one of engineering. With regard to the battalion movements, the corps was unfortunate in being restricted for room ; but from the steadiness and silence of the men in the ranks it was evident they had been well grounded in the rudiments of drill. He could, however, give them unqualified praise for the progress they had made in the duties of engineering. The models ex hibited reflected the greatest credit on the parties engaged in their construction, and ho was much pleased with the ready and correct answers of the squads called out for examination. In Yorkshire the Volunteers are getting into ac- tion, and, although harvest yeb interferes, several movements occurred during last week. The 3d North York (Scarborough) have competed for chal lenge prizes, and for the second time Sergeant Wil liams became the winner, with Sergeant Laver second. A carbine competition, at three distances, between ten of the 3d North York and 3d West York Artillery Volunteers resulted in victory for the former, who made 374 against 359. The chal lenge contest of the 6th North York has resulted in Corporal Walmsley winning with 34 points at two distances, Private Simpson being second. The con test for the Leeds Enfield prizes at' two distances resulted in Corporal Piece, of Ripon, winning the main prize of £l5, with a score of 32 ; Private Dawson, of Halifax, £lO, 31 ; Corporal Trotter, Leyburn, and Sergeant J. Buxton, Doncaster, each 30, and £lO. There were 26 other winners of va rious auras to £2. The Consolation Prizes were won by Lieutenant Thwaites, Bradford, 51, Ser geant G. Burnett, 47th Lancashire; Sergeant hicks, Leeds ; and Sergeant Jubb, Rotherham, each 50. There were several other winners. The prize shoot ing of the 6th West York resulted in the victory of Private Murgatroyd. The 13th West Riding En field shooting on Baildon-moor resulted in Private Whetton, of Wakefield, winning the Challenge Cup for the third time, and it is, therefore, now his ab solutely ; he scored 46, Mr. Allen, of Doncaster, scoring 45. A match between the Knaresborough and Northallerton Rifles, three distances at each, five shots; ten from each corps, resulted in favour of Knaresborough, who made 300 against 273. Pri vate Whincup made 40 and won the cup. A new battalion of Rifle Volunteers has been inspected at Dewsbury by Colonel Wombwell. The muster was about 600. Taking into account the great number of recruits, the reviewing officer said he had reason to be well satisfied. The Hull Volunteer Artillery has also passed its annual inspection by Colonel Brooshoft. The remains of Captain Farrar, 3,1 West York Rifles, who bad sunstroke at Wimble don, were interred with military honours on Friday. Three yellers were fired over the grave. , PROGRAMME OF YORK AUGUST MEETING. WEDNESDAY, Aug. 19.
