The sales were estimated at about 6,000 bales. The Railway Share Market cicsad quiet, and prices have slightly declined. The markets for Foreign and Colonial produce blve not manifes'ed any symptoms of activity of buoyancy this week, although in one or two articles increased firmness has been produced by the course of events in India. Saltpetre and Indigo. for in stance have risen, the former about 2 per cent, but the accounts from China have had no effect on the value of tea, although some alteration may take Place at the public sale of that commodity held to-day. The market for sugar has been depressed, and the purchases even at a reduction of 6d. to I.s. Per cwt., have been limited. Coffee is cheaper, and only a small 'quantity has been offered at auction. Cocoa is firm, rice dull, and sum at rather lower rates. Spices have generally corn banded full prices, and almost an average amount Of business has been done. The tallow market is rather excited, and a rise of 2s. per cwt. has just been established. Wool at public sale is realis ing high quotations, and the demand is brisk. The dividend on the shares of the Bank of Egypt will be 6 per cent., subject to the approval of the forthcomiug meeting. A meeting was held to-day of the English, Scot tish, and Australian Chartered Bank, Charles Johnston, Esq., in the chair. The report was adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. Per annum was unanimously agreed to. Mr. Gil christ, a gentleman long resident in Australia, was elected a director, in place of Mr. Gibb, retired. A. cordial vote of thanks was passed to the directors, Which closed the proceedings. There is a diminished inquiry fur money in the discount market, and rather easier terms are now current for commercial bills. The supply of capital is large, and for the moment symptoms of improve llient are apparent. It is not generally expected, however, t hat the quotations will descend much lower during the present year, as in a few weeks busi ness will no doubt become more active as usual When preparations for the winter trade are actively commenced. A small ambunt of gold, viz., 6,4001., was sold to the Bank yesterday. 11 - The return just issued by the Bank of France -112., for the month ending yesterday is not very sati4actory, the pressure upon the resources of the astablishment having increased. There is con sequently a decline in the bul l i on, and an augmen tation in the bills discounted, and also in the advances on Rentes and Shales. Very little alteration took place in the market for public securities this morning, but the prices Were well maintained. Although business was dull, the market tended upwards, as there was a dispo sition to look forward with increased confidence to the next advices from the East. Besides this the knowledge that no Indian lean is contemplated Produced much satisfaction. Consols have been ?Pi for money, and 901 for account, but since wthen they have risen to 90i and 90i 91 respec tively, the detailed advises from India having caused considerable buoyancy. Th e New Threes are 901 to 91 ; Reduced 3 per Cents., 901 ; and Long Annuties, 2 7-16. Ex ebequer Bills are 53. this. ; the Bonds, 981 ; and India Bonds, 13s. to 255. die. Bank Stock has been done at 215 216. .„ Transactions in the Foreign Market are very Ittittn,guit e e s d e , 3 but prices are st2ady. Turkish 6 per C ents. have risen to 94i 95/, ditto 4 per Cents. 99 k , Per per Cents. 45/, and Russian 5 per Cents. 1121, The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stock s :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 516. ; Mexican 3 per Cents, 221 a ; Peruvian .A per Cents. 80 82 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 55 56; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 441 451,. ; Russian 5 per Cants., 111 113 ; ditto 41 Per Cents., 97 99 ; Spa.nisli 3 per Cents., 39i 40i ; do. new Deferred, 25 251 ; do.

The holding of the fair having been declared illegal ; renders any person offending liable to a penalty of 101., or three months' imprisonment with hard labour. DRINKING CUPS FOR THE THIR=TY PUBLIC is aratifying to he able to sta' e, that the excellent sugges tion of Dr. Begg, that drinkingcups should in this sultry weather be provided at the town fountains for the use of the public, has been already carried out. Handsome zinc-plated ladleFe or basins, are now attached to each at the founthins ; and it is hardly necessary to add, that theyare largely made nine of by our fellow zens and strangers coming in from th e countr Y.—Cale-dc"i on cury. About 6,4001. in African gold was sent to the Bank • yesterday. -The bulk of the recent American arrivals has been sent to .the continent for the purchase of silver. MADAM TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—This popular esta blishment has lately received the addition of three alle gorical figures, representing Britannia, Hibernia, and Caledonia. These figures are plarea above the group representing her Majesty Queen Victoria and her youth ful family, attended by numerous nobility, comprising the Court and Council of her Majesty.

The balf•yearly gineral meeting of the shareholders of this company was held this afternoon at Euston square stati..n, the Marquis of Chandos in the chair. The report and statement of accounts already pub lished were taken as road. tile CHAIRMAN regretted the small attendance of shareholders at the half-yearly meeting, since the pub lication of the report and accounts before the day of meetirg, though it materially lessened his labours in explaining the state of the company, ho regretted it should have caused eo thin an attendance. The Noble Chairman then referred to the various para graph in the report, explaining the state of the com pany, as well as the intention of the directors relative to their future proceedings. In reference to the ac counts, he stated that they were enabled to pay a'divi (lend at the rate of 5 per cent. ; but it might have been increased had the improvements of the line been charged to capital rather than revenue. As it was, the divi dend was most satisfactory, considering this was the least productive half of the year. It was pro posed to take powers to raise additions]. capital for the purchase of additional trucks, and the erection of houses on the Stow Valley line for the accommodation of the servants of the company, who vt ere too often demoralised by the wretched state of their dwellings and the bad cha racters with whom they were thereby brought in contact. Referring to the late fire at 'Camderetown, the noble chairman said, that the loss had b: en much exaggerated. Instead of is being a quarter of a million it was only a few thousands. With regard to the intro duction of a measure late in the session to obtain new and extraordinary powers over the railways of the kingdorn for the ex elusive benefit of the post-office d-partment, but which bad been thrown out, the noble Cbairman said that a clause was inserted in it to regu late the speed of railways. He had no faith in legislative enactments in regulating speed, and was satisfied the more Parliament interfered the greater would be the failure and danger to the public. Tne Manchester, Shef field, and Lincolnshire company had broken its agreement with the company and joined the Greet Northern with a view of ex ractiag a portion of the Sauth and North- West traffic ; so far however as it had gone the attempt had failed, and the directors believed it would result in the Las to those who had made it They feared nothing from such unjustifiable aggression ; the profi s of the company could not and did not rest on such agreements which were liable to b 3 broken and disturbed at any moment, but the accommodation they aft irded the public. The interest of railway companies and the pullec was identical. It was for the interest of railway shareholders that the lines should be worked so as to afford them a full and fair remuneration for their outlay, and for the public that the lines should be well and efficiently worked, and the traffic fully developed. Neither of those results lay in forced competitionlinder special cit cumiAances. That: was the policy which guided the directors, and he believed they engaged the confidence of the pupae in consequence. The noble marquis con cluded by moving the reception and adoption of the report. Mr. BENSON, deputy-chairman, seconded the motion. Mr. RILEY of Liverpool, condemned the policy of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Com pany, and at the request of a large and i_flueetial body of proprietors he wished to make an addition to the report, expressing confidence in the directrs and urging them to continue the policy they had adopted toaards their competitors in the North. Mr. D , LLIN BASSETT reconded the motion. _ _ M. LOCKE, M.P., said that, on a former occasion, the directors li,tened to a suggestion of his, thltt the locomo tive district should be moved'from Wolvertoi to Crewe. A very efficient cfficer was appointed to superintend that department, who bad been instrumental in saving 30,000/. a-year. Without cause that man had been dis missed, and he (Mr. Lock , -) censured the conduct of the directors in that respect, and said he had lost all confi• deuce in them. Mr. PUNCiIAED complained of the increased working expanses arising from a want of proper supervision. Last year they were 41 per cent., and now by the figures in the report they were 60 per cent. Mr. HADFIELD, M.P., asked for an explanation of the cause of the diminution of dividend. They were increasing their traffic, but appeared to be working for the benefit only of the servants and the public judging from the diminution of dividend. During the last half-year the traffic had increased 65,0001. but it had c05t34,000/. to earn it. The traffic for the past week was 74,0001. it was high time that a more economical system was adopted. He called upon the shareholders to get rid of a tax that greatly reduced their dividend, viz., the duty on the passenger traffic that amounted to 10 per tint. Last year• they paid into the Exchequer 51,1391. 17s. 3d. duty on the passenger traffic, t,.) the detriment of the dividend. By proper management the dividend might be increased to 7 per cent. A Shareholder asked the cost of the additional bulk ing proposed to be erected. The CilAinmAN-18,0001. Mr. DEANE called attention tothe law and Parliament charges, which for five years amounted to 144,0001. There was still the ever recurring item of 10,0001. and 5,0001. for these charges, and the shareholders ought to be informed whether it was for annual work or for the payment of arrears. He deprecated the directors g ing to war with the Great Northern Railway by a reckless come ition with that company, but rather to rest on the 1-gitimate development of traffic. Mr. HALEY urged the necessity of strengthening the hands of the directors by unanimously adopting the re- port. Mr. DICKINSON t xpresiei his alarm at the growing increase cif the capital account. The increase was at the rate of 300,0001. per annum, and during the last fourteen years it amour t.3d to 4 , 749 , 3761 . __ . . A SHAREHOLDER corrected tha error of Mr. Dickinson relative to the increase of the capital account. That increase had t (ken place in 74 years only, and not 14, at the rate of 632,0001. per annum. As that account increased their revenue decreasal. _ _ Atter some further discussion the report was adopted BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. Tho 231 half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this company was held this morning at Eth,ton-square Station, Sir Hairy Verpey in the chair. The reixrc was adopted unanimously. The usual dividend of 4 per cent. was declared pay able on the 25th of August next. Mr. R. Carter and Mr. J. M'lnues, the retiring auditors, wete re-elected. Thanks were voted to the Chairman ald Directors, and tie meeting terminated. Advices from Russia mention that the Emperor in tends shortly to revisit Germany, where he has left the Empress, and that an interview will then certainly take place between his Majesty and the Emperor Napoleon. THE BANE OF EGYPT.—The report of the Bank of Egypt, issued preparatory to their meeting ou the 25th of August, states the profits of the Bank from the 71.11 of July, 1856, to the 30th of June, 1857, to have been 13,0211 , after appropriating 1,1401 to the reduction of preliminary expenses. A dividend of 6 per cent., free of income tax, is recommended, and 1,7711. will remain is be carried forward. DEATH OF SIR JOHN BENT, KT.—Our Liverpor correspondent reports the death, yesterday morning a 4 a.m. of Sir John Bent, Knight, in his 71st year. The deceased gentleman was highly respected in Liverpool, and in the year 1851 occupied the high position of chief magistrate of that borougb, on which occasion her Majesty and Royal Consort visited the port, and con ferred the honour of knighthood upon its mayor. Sir John Bent was the head of a large brewing establish ment, and his private residence was Edge-hill, where he deprted this life. His demise is sincerely regretted by all the iuhabitAnts, and as a tribute to his memory the national ensign at the Town Hall floated half mast high threaghout the day. Since his mayoralty, up to Nov. last (when he retired through ill health), deceased was an alderman of the borough. FATAL ACCIDENT UPON THE RlVER.—Yesterday after noon the body of a young man was taken out of the Thames, near Vauxhall-bridge. The deceased was as certained to be Thomas Snow, ' aged 21, the son of Mr. Snow, bookbinder, of No. 6, Peters-hill, Doctors'- commons.

Several boats rowed to his assistance, but be was not seen to rise to the surface. The drags were obtained and put into requisition, but the body was not found till yesterday. The inquest will be held this day (Friday). RIOT AND BRUTAL OUTRAGE IN SHROPSHIRE. — Last night week a most desperate and bloodthirsty struggle took place between some Irish and English labourers, at the Fox and Duck Inn, Pave-lane. It appears that being the wakes week a dancing party was held at the above inn, when about 11 o'clock in the evening some Irishmen were drinking in the kitchen, and one of them went into the bail room and coin: menced quarrelling, whereupon he was ordered out. He then went and fetched his companions, when they went into Mr. Macnell's bed room, and set lac about breaking the bedsteads and windows. They then ped a sickle round Macnell's neck, and another round the neck of his daughter. A general row then commenced, in which brutal violence was used on both sides, several having received deep flesh wounds, and others were so severely beaten with sticks that their bodies presented the appearance of one mass of blood. be Irishmen, a we l believe, r had mo t r h e e i worst rom of h f e i i t r , some of them h o n n ci n u o i t r being be made in a few days before the magistrates.Shrews bury Journal.

THE TWELFTH OF AUGUST.--This is the great day on the moors, and great has been the array of gamekeepers, &0., and dogs that have arrived at the Perth station on their way to the north for some days past. The yelping and howling of the - dogs confined in all the trains going in this direction may be music to the sportsmen, but must be rather annoying to ladies and gentlemen not in clined to the pleasures of the chase. Notwithstanding we have seen various statements to the contrary by inte rested parties, we are certain from the information we have received that the grouse will be found this year deficient in the higher moors of Perthshire. The lower grounds are reported to be better stocked, Many a sportsman, who looked forward with much pleasure to having his foot on the heather to-day, is at this moment ploughing his way to India. Sic transit gloria mundi. —North British Mail. FOGS IN THE CHANNEL.—The density Mid sudden ap. pearance and disappearance of the fogs in the Channel are remarkable. On Wednesday night the Channel Island mail packet Courier could not enter the Solent an account of a fog. The commander of the Courier, Capt. Goodridge, knowing he must be near the Needles (the rocks at the mouth of the Solent), got into a brat to explore his precise whereabouts. He soon came to the outer Needle reels, where the lighthouse is being erected. He spoke to the workmen, who lice upon the rock, and desired them to knock their crowbars toge ther, eo thee he might be guided by the sound through the narrow entrance of the Solent. By this means he got through safely. About one hour after this the Bra zilian mail packet Avon arrived off the Needles, and the fog was then sufficiently cleared away for her to enter, although her signals were invisible at the Hurst Castle telegraph station. Wll3ll the Needles lighthouse ie com phted, the difficulties of the entrance to the Solent by fogs will scarcely exist. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH' LONDONBAILWAY.— Ou Wednesday Mr. Baker, the w roner, held an inquiry at the Three Compasses Tavern, Dayton, on the body of Mr. Thomas Martin, a chemist, Upper Clapton. From the evidence of Shaw, a porter at the Hackney station of the North London Railway, it appeared that some two minutes after the ten o'clock p.m. train bad passed through the station on Friday last, their attention was attracted to faint cries of " Oh, oh dear !" With lan terns the porters get on the line, and proceeded in the direction of the cries, and on arriving some forty or fifty yards from the station platform, they came up with a gentleman (the dccee , ed) who was lying on the line with both legs broken and mutilated, resting on the metals. Although in great agony he was perfectly sensible, and explained to them how he met with the accident, saying it was entirely his own fault, that finding the train moving from the station he attempted to alight from the cart.' age, but was thrown under the train. He was im mediately placed on a stretcher and conveyed to the German Hospital at Dalston, where he expired on Sun day night last. The jury returned a verdict of "Acci dental Death." FILMS YESTERDAY.--Yesterday morning, about a quarter to three o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. G. West, cabinetmaker and uphol , stere re carrying on business at No. 12, Quee's-row, Turnham-green. The flames originated, from some unknown cause, in the back factory, and they rapidly extended to ths front building. The engines of the parish and -Loudon Brigade were early in arriving, but the flames could not be subdued until the workshops at the back were destroyed, and the ground-floor and also the floor over were seriously damaged by fire, &se The occupier was insured in the Monarch Fire-office, arid the building Wig also insured in the Sun Fire office.—Yesterelay morning, shortly before four o'clock, a tire happened in the premises be longing to Mr. P. J. Matthews, tobacconist, No. 37, Hackney-r al. The discovery was made by a police officer of the N division, who noticed smoke issuing from the ground-floor front. The Royal Society's es capes, and the engines of the parish and London Bri gade, were promptly in attendance, and eventually got the fire extinguished, but riot until the whole of the stock in trade was consumed; and the building severely damaged, The building was insured in the Phcenix, and the contents in the Sun fire-offices.—A fire likewise took place yesterday morning about the same time in the premises belonging to Mr. George Simpson, grocer and cheesemouger, situate No. 20, Romney-terrace, Horseferry Road, near the Wesleyan Chapel, West miuster. The Royal Society's fire-escape and the en gines of the B arid C districts were soon in attendance, but the fire was not subdued until considerable damage was done. The sufferer was insured in the Sun Fire office.

GREY complained that no notice had been given of the amendment, which involved an entirely new principle, which there had been no time to consider. Under these circumstances he trusted that the committee would not sanctioa the amendment. Mr. HENLEY thought that what the noble lord in tended to convey was that desertion being now admitted one of the adjuncts of adultery for which divorce might be granted, assonce under the sentence of a Co irt, con juiced with the same circumstances of adultery, shr:uld also be taken as a ground for divorce. The words would, no doubt, require very careful and close conside. ration. For example, :f a woman had c lodoned the offence of adultery on the part of the husband, she ought not to possess the right to set up the case afresh. Mr. GLADSTONE concurred with the Home Secre tary that the noble lord shouid take time to consider the matter, and that if he thought a discussion upon the question advisable, it should take place upon the re port. Lord LOVAINE thought that divorces should be granted in cases of adultery followed by hopele s lunacy. He recommended the noble lord to postpone his amen( . ment for further consideration. Mr. HOPE opposed the amendment, :n 1 cited V. a law of S.veden in confirrra ion of the undesirability of giving legAl effact to stch a prov's on as that r can - minded I y the noble lei d. Mr. HEATHOOTE supported the clause. Mr. MALINS thought: that there should ha no divorce unless there was an actual abandonment wits intention, in consequence of adulterous connection. He could not support the amendment, even if it were post poned for future con ideration. Mr. DE VERE considered that the bill was not only not founded upon religious Fanctions, but that, on the contrary it was entirely at variance with all religious obligations. With regard to the amendment of the noble lord, he should feel it his duty to oppose it. Lord J. MANNERS said he had no time to OVA notice of the clause by placing it on the paper. `I he government were so determined to press the bill ni p ht and day, that members had not time to look an inch beyond their noses. (Laughter.) [LEFT SITTING.] MR. WOODIN'S POLYGRAPHIC ENTER- MENT. Pethaps no better illustration could be given of Mr. Woodiu's performance than that which is ex pressed in the words he puts into the mow h of one of his own play critics, when, after he has contem plated awhile the nature of the actor's powers, be exclaims, in a tone of mingled admiration and sur prise, " I wonder how it is actors manage to get into their heads all that they have got t ) say ?" We think that all who visit the Polygraphic-hall, in King William-street, Strand, must experience some such feeling as they listen to Mr. Woodin's ce tse less flow of words of wit and humour. It is indeed a wonder how he got into his head all that he says, and more wonderful still how he manages to lorep it there ; the more so, when he has got the sieec'ics of so many others to keep, and th. so of so varied, and sometimes of so wildly opposite. a natu s. But Mr. Woodin has not been content to !epos° upon his former laurels. Ambition has led him fo:th to search for new triumphs ; and, pa zsi»g the boundaries of his more legitimate province. he has made a predatory incursion into the severer and more classic region of Tragedy, and has brought therefrom spoils and trophies to add to his reper toire. He wou'd seem to have despoiled the most illustrious tragedian of this or perhaps any age— her to whom the queenly sceptre of tragedy is awarded by universal consent—of her mantle, and be wears it so becomingly that not even Ristori herself would find it in her heart to censure the appropriation. The imitation is truly extra ' ordinary, and the effect does not seem to be diminished by having witnessed the great ori g i na l perform in the character. Mr. Woodin has surpassed himself in this bold achievement, for bold and self-reliant must be the man who could essay such a task as to wear the robe and speak and act the speech of Madame Ris tori ; and, moreover, when that speech runs i n a foreign accent, and when the genius and character of the entire scene must be new and strange to him. It is not Mr. Woodin's intention, as he explains in a few very appropriate introductory remarks, to con vey aught of disrespect to the unrivalled aeress to whom reference is here made. While he strives to imitate her, he is himself the first and readiest to do homage t.) her genius. No one is more awara than he of the unapproachable eminence on which she stands, and it is this very consciousness that excited his ambitious feelings, and made him anxious to catch some flashes of her spirit, some few sparks of the tragic fire that glows in her bosom, and utter the language of her immortal speeclLk And this last he does after a wonderful manner, accompanying it wi h. the movemen's and action of Madame Ris to ; and so close'y are the accessories of the piece imitated that one might suppose the Polygraphic stage had been secre-ly conveyed to the Lyceum. The addiiion of this "latest novelty" to Mr. Woodin's programme will, we doubt not, greatly extend the fame of his very popular and amusing entertainment. Literariuma FATAL ACCIDENT TO LIEUT. D. SHAFT°, ROYAL HORSE GUARDS. A melancholy and fatal accident occurred to Lieut. D. Shafto, of .the Royal Horse Guards, whose regiment is now quavered at the Spital Barracks, Windsor, and who was accidentally drowned whilst bathing in the River Thames about nine o'clock on Wednesday morning. An inque,t was held at the King's Arms in the afternoon, before Mr. Marlin, the coroner for the borough. Captain Wyndham Billingtor, of the Royal Horse Guards, der osed—l have known the deceased about five peals. He held the rank of lieutenant in the same regiment with myself. I have bathed several times with him at the Eton College masters' weir, below Windsor-bridge. The stream here is rapid and more or less dangerous. Deceased could swim but was not a good swimmer. I went out with him at half-past eight this morning with the in tention of bathing. He plunged into the water first and I followed. We had. not been in the water more than a minute when I saw deceased, who had swam out about 10 or 15 yards, throw up his arms and turn himself upon his back and float, but immediately I saw his head go down. I swam to him, and succeeded in catching hold of ono of his hands, and called for help. Suddenly he wrenched himself away from me and sank imme diately. He did not struggle at all. Quelch, the waterman, came with his punt to the spot, and tried to rescue the deceased. I then sent for the drags, which were procured immediately, and after wards for medical assistance. Aft: r about th ree quarters of an hour's search the body was got out of the water quite dead. Samuel Quelcb, an Eton waterman, gave corro • borative evidence. The witness, in answer to several questions put to him by Mr. Wright, one of the jury, admitted iee the at that although he could swim , he was incapable of future divi diving, , two d w M a r t . e r \ m V e r iughsthroeuclodm m be en i d n e dattte drl t for part m of e the ia ti Thames on Ivas afterwards during bathing t h l o ti u s r dangerous swhioh ae 003 ap pended to the verdict returned of "Accidental death."

CORN EXCHANGE. Coastwise, a full average supply of English wheat, 2,46() quarters, almost wholly of the new crop, and in good con dition, has come to hand this week. Fresh up to-day by land carriage the receipts of that grain were small, and the show of samples was very moderate. Although the atten dance of millers was by no means numerous, the trade was considered steady at Monday's currency. Foreign wheat, the show of which was good, moved off slowly, but no change took place in value. The supply of barley, both English an i foreign, was ver y moderate, and the trade ruled steady at full quotations. Fine malt supported late rates, but inferior qualities were rather cheaper. The supply of foreign oats was considerably on the in crease, yet the oat trade ruled steady, at full prices. Beans, peas, and flour, sold at Monday's currency. ARRIVALS TIES WEEK. Wheat. Barley.

NEW APPLICATION OF THE SEWING MACHINE Much has been said and written on the subject of the cruelties practised on the class of dressmakers, and therefore it will be a source of extreme gratification to announce that we shall no longer have reason to antici pate the fatal consequences to thousands of young women arising from extensive confinem en t and over. work. That very ingenious instrument, the sewing ma chine, has recently been adapted by e a West end house to the exigencies of alt the heavier descriptions of work, and the result is a precision and an easy rapi dity of execution truly marvellous. The instrument is now in full operation at Jay's extensive mourning ware houses in Regent-street and it is to be hoped the pro cess will be very generally adopted not only because it 'will be lik e l y to reduce dressmaking charges, but also be the means of relieving a large portion of hard-work ing young people. It will, at all events, very greatly facilitate the execution of mourning orders in such a house as that referred to, as well as all the heavier kinds of work where dressmakers are employed.
