T AND CONMETtOTAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Accounts from Liverpool menthol' that the Cot ton Market on Saturday closed firmly, and prices of all descriptions were unchanged. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed with a very quiet appearance, and prices were at a slight decline. An improved bu-iness is now being transacted in the textile manufacturing districts of the North of England, notwithstanding the inactive markets in Australia and India. During last week, a good demand for most descriptions of goods was ex perieoc- ditiMaucl ester, L soils, L , ic ister, Notting ham, Halifax and Bradford, and the manufacturers seem confident of a further improvement, despite th e big t prices of cotton and wool. °wing to the preparations in progress for Friday heat the 4th of the month, when as usual a large mass of commercial bills become due, the demand for 'honey is increasing but althouja the full rate of 02 per cent, is now exacted except for the very ht descriptions of paper, there is an absence of Pressure, the supply of available capital still being very large. The terms allowed by the Joint St uck ' eat thliainnent for deposits on call Prevent any scarcity, and thus, except at Periods when large payments have to be made, the bill broke:s are very glad to transact business a fr aclion below the Bank rate. During the la-t few (14 .Y8 the settlements at the Stock Exchange have augmented the inquiry, but owing to the recent Investments of the public and the numerous divi dends in course of distribution, loans are Dego ei4hle at 4i to 51 per cont. on Government Securities. The last Bank return is generally considered to present most encouraging features, 41 1 the advices from Australia lead to the impres sion that the influx of gold from that colony is likely to be fully maintained. Several vessels with large remittances of gold are now on the way, in cluding the Norfolk, the Red 'Jaoket, the True Briton, the Anglo-Saxon, and the Montmorency, and some of these must ngv be near at hand, h aving left Victoria early in July. The Indus On Friday next is not expected to take out more th an 70,000/., and notwithstanding the Eastern e xchanges appear firm, the m irket for silva-r is I :, er Y . flat. If this drain undergoes any permanent di minution, the extensive imports from Amt.rica a nd Australia will cause a steady a:cutnulation of the precious metals in Threadueetile-street, pro vlded no new demand for gold is created. On Saturday ab.nit 8,0001. in gold. was sold to the Bank of England. Last week the imports of gold and silver amounted 10 about 1,006,8111,, and the exports to 250,167/. The advi ce 3 f rom N ew Y or k report increased 6, , rciab ess in the exchange on London, and we may therefore calculate upon a continuance of specie shipments from that side. Speculative securities at the latest date were rathsr depressed. About 310,000/. has been received by the steamer La, Plata. At the half-yearly meeting of the British Tele graph Company to-day a divid3nd (afcer paying the Preference holders) at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum was declared upon the capital of 231,0801. The accounts of the two companies showed a joint p r ofit of 15,312/. Tae report was adopted. a There is buoyant market for Public Securities, an d sYmptoms of recovery alter the recent decline ar e now apparent. The transactions to-clay have ot been very large, but in addition to a few pur chases by the Bears, who have become timid, the public have continued tloir investments. Th e Indian news having been fully digested, now fails to exert so important an influence, and some are inclined to form sanguine expectations from the events recorded by t;ae Overland Ma 1. The fur tiler &cline in the price of wh-.at this mornin : ,r, ' vi z.) about 3s. per qua tee, also tends to strengthen the market. Consols have been 9,)g- 2- for m )ney and 90/ for aceount.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were well suFplied with wheat, in which only a limited business was transacted, at 2s to 4s per quarter decline. Barley sold slowly, at barely late rates ; but oats, beans, and peas were firm. Flour was dull, and cheaper. The continental markets have been dull for wheat, but other grain has continued in request. In the - United States, prices of grain and flour are giving way. Full average supplies of English wheat were received up to our market last week. The imports of foreign produce were 12,140 quarters of wheat, 1,505 barley, :30,216 oats, 8 peas, 1,040 linseed, 25 mustard seed, 10 sacks and 1,653 barrels of flour. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to-day from Essex, Kent, &c., was not to say extensive; yet, as rather a large supply was on sale from Friday, the show of samples both red and white was rather extensive sor the time of year. The general condition of the samples was good, and many of them weighed 611bs per bushel. Although the attendance of millers was tolerably good, the demand for all kinds of home-grown wheat ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations realised on Monday last of 3s to 5s per quarter. There was a large show of foreign wheat. Even the finest qualities were neglected, and prices were next to nominal. To have forced sales lower rates must have been submitted to by the holders. Floating cargoes of grain were dull in sale. We were very moderately supplied with both English and foreign barley, which moved off slowly, at barely the late decline. Fine malt was dull, but not cheaper. Inferior qualities ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. Very few English oats were on offer ; and the supply of foreign was only moderate. The oat trade was far from active, yet last Monday's prices were well supported. Beans were in short supply, and fair request at hat week's currency. Thera was a moderate inquiry for peas at late rates. The flour trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. Town-made declined to 50s. per sack. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The receipts of baasts from our own grazing districts were on the increase, compared with Monday last, but their condition was inferior. Although the attendance of butchers was tolerably extensive the beef trade ruled heavy, and prices were quite 2d. per slbs. lower than on this day se'nnight. The highest figure for the best Scots was 4s. 10d. per 8113 e. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,320 shorthorns ; from other parts of Englan 1, 600 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 14 Scots ; and from Ireland, 450 oxen. There was an increased show of sheep in the market as to number. but their quality was very middling. The mutton trade was less active than last week, and the quo- tations were supported. The extreme value of the best Downs was be. 4d. per Blbs. Lambs, the supply of which was only moderate, were in fair request, at full prices, viz., 4s. 81. to Gs. per 81bs. About 300 reached us from Irelnd. The supply of English calves wits limited ; of foreign moderate. The veal trade was slow, nevertheless last Monday's currency was supported. We had a slow inquiry for pigs, at last week's currency. Per Sibs to sink the offais s. d. 8. d.I s. d. a„ d.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day). MARYLEBONE. THE MURDER IN THE HA.RPSTRAD ROAD. Car• nelius Denny was placed at the bar e in accordance with the remand, charged with the murder of Gallo Benzonelli. It will be recollected that on the night of Saturday, the 22d inst., the prisoner, Cornelius Denny, went into the shop of Joseph Baretta, coulee inner, 17, Adam's row, Hampstead-road, in company with some other per sons, and requested to be served with some ginger beer, This request was complied with, after which Denny lay down on a form and went to sleep. At about three in the morning the deceased, who was in the employ of Mr. Baretta, woke him up, when an altercation ensued, and in the struggle Denny stabbed the unfortunate man in the abdomen with a clasp knife. The wounded man was taken into the University College Hospital, where he died on Thursday last. Francis Julian Hanley, 366 S, said he attended at the hospital and took the depositions of the injured man, as follows : "My name is Gallo Benzonelli. I reside at 17, Hampstead-road. The prisoner before me is the man that stabbed me. He came into the shop at twelve, midnight, and ordered three bottles of ginger beer, and then fell asleep. He slept till three in the morning. I awoke him, and asked him to go out. Oa my doing so he struck me in the face. I defended myself, and struck Lim in return. He then took out a knife and stabbed me. Itnrned;ately I discovered I was stabbed I returned int) the shop. I told the boy, who is called Cresar, that I was stabbed, and that I should soon die. Some one called a policeman, who placed me in a cab, and I was c.inveyed here." Witness said after taking the deposition in French, he translated it to Denny, who said, " All I have . to say is, I am guilty ; but I did not stab him in the shop, I stabbed him on the pavement." Denny asked deceased if he would shake hands with him, as he was sorry. Deceased said, " Yes, but it is no good. You have brought me here. I will shake hands with you, and forgive you, if God will." Mr. Vincent Jackson, a surgeon, said when deceased was a knitted into the hospital there was an incised wound in the abdomen, inflicted by some sharp instru ment. Six inches of the gut were protruding, which he replaced without making a further incision. hflamma don supervened, and he dted on Tuesiay from perito nitis, caused, as was proved by a post mnrtem examina tion, by injuries to tha peritoneum, the effect of a wound. Sergeant Edwards, 21 S, and Francis Leverett, 68 S, gave evidence to show that on going to the shop he found deceased and Denny struggling on the pavement. Denny was removed by force, and deceased was found to be bleeding profusely. . . . Other evidenea having been given, and the depositions having been signed, the prisoner WM fully committed fur trial for wilful murder. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A.

DISTREFISING CASE.--A TALE OF MISERY. morning, previous to the hearing of the ni g ht charges, a poor widow, who appeared quite heart br..ker, was in• troduced before the magistrate, and her i loess and anxiety preventing her addressit,g him, a gentleman at the tel le interceded, and said the afflicted woman in the witness-box was the widow of a police-constable named Chapman, who was the victim of a ruffianly and das tardly attack male upon him in February, 1856, by a drunken fellow, who twisted his leg ned broke it. The unfi rtunato constable also sustained other serious injuries on that occasion, and was a patient in the London Hos pital for several months. He was never able to do duty after he was injured, and lingered until Sunday week, when be expired, and was buried yesterday. The poor widow who now applied for assistance wa. in a state of utter destitution, with a family of ten children depend ing on her for existence. Mr. Yardley—l reooloct the case of the police-con stable Chapman, and a very sad one indeed it was. Is he dead ? The gentleman at the table replied in the affirmative, and said his death was accelerated by the serious injuries inflicted upon him in February, 1856. He could assure the migistrate that Mrs. Chapman was a very deserving woman, and in great distress. Mr. Yardley—Chapm.•n was a very respectable man, and I took great interest in the case. Tire poor woman has ten orphans to maintiin. It is a very lamentable case. Mrs. Chapman who was sobbing loudly said that 7 of her child: rn were under twelve yeas of age, and that she gave birth t 9 the Li , ,t a mouth ago ai,d then after wards her hu,Laud died. Mr. Yardley—l recollect he suffered a good deal of pain. What can Ido for you, my good woman ? Mts. Chapman, who was ♦ery feeble and could scarcely be heard said, she had noz: a meal for her poor children, and was unable to work for them. Mr. Yardley—l shall be very glad to do some perms. nent good for you, but I have not the funds at my dis posal. See what your friends can do, 1 will give you a sovereign for your present use. Mrs. Chapman expressed her thanks, and was led out of the court crying loudly. SOUTHWARK. DANGER OF WEARI;7I 10NC7DRESSES. —S. Thomp son, a nymph of the pave, was charged before Mr. Burcham, the sitting magistrate, with committing an assault upon Mrs. Townsbend and her husband, formerly an inspector 01 the M division of police. The evidence of Mr. Towns' nd clearly proved that on Saturday night he was walking with his wife, when they accidentally trod upon the defendant's dress, for which they both made an apology. The defendant however followed them and made use of the most ob scene and disgusting language, and laid hold of his wife by the shoulder, aid he was obliged to call for the as sistance of a policeman, and evan in presence she re peated the same filthy expressiotis. Mr. Townsend ad mitted that either he or his wife had trodden on the defendant's dress owing to its extreme length, but it was purely accidental, and they both apologised, and were willing to pay for the dainaKe if any had been done. The defendant said that the prosecutors did not make any apology, but laughed at her after treading upon her dress. Mr. Townsend said that the police-officer heard the language the defendant had used which was unfit to repeat. The defendant denied all Mr. Townsend bad stated, when the magistrate said that such languago was unbearable and ought, by some punishment, to be put an end to. The defendant said s he was not in the habit of making use of such langaage. The Magistrate said that, as the defendant had been in custody since Saturday, he would discharge her with a caution not to do th• Fame acmio.

The weather of the past week has been highly favourable for harvest operations, and a large por tion of the whe it crop has already been cut down. Our accounts from various parts of the country speak favourably of the general results of the harvest, if we except the potato crop, with respect to the safety of which considerable fears are entertained. With respect to the county Antrim, in the neighbourhood of Crumlin, the sickle has been used so vigorously during the past week that the whole of the winter sown wheat bas been cut, and a great portion of it placed in stack. Indeed, Mr. M'Cunnell, of Sea view, one of the most extensive and intelligent farmers in Kilhead, had his crop of wheat secured in the early part of the week. The wheat crop has everywhere in this locality turned out extremely well, and farmers who have entered upon threshing state that it gives evidence of yielding satisfactorily in thebarn. Even spring wheat promises better things than were anticipated some weeks ago. The pro spects of the oat crop have also been greatly im proved, and the present delightful weather isbring ing it rapidly to maturity. There will be no diffi culty in getting the grain cut down as it ripens, in consequence of the wheat crop being generally se cured befere the oats are ready. The farmers in the neighbourhood of Crumlin complain of the progress the blight is making in the early kind of potatoes ; but the general crop, consisting mostly of " white rocks" and " M'Mullans," can scarcely be said to be affected yet. Meadow hay has, also, all been `saved ; and on the whole, the past week has been everything which the agriculturists in this neigh -1)ourhood could wish—even the potato-blight, al though it has made its appearance, is neither so ex tensive nor so violent as in former years. In the vicinity of Randals town, the early-sown wheat will be all cut down during the ensuing week. A large portion has already been placed in stack, and pro mises an abundant yield : but spring-sown will scar cely be an average crop, and is not expected to be ripe for another fortnight. The reaping of oats has partially commenced in this neighourhood, and will be general next week ; but the yield will not be so large as that of last year. The blight h very generally appeared on potato leaves, but as yet the tubers are comparatively sound. Our cocci munications from various pacts of the county of Antrim agree in stating that, should the present weather continue for three or four weeks, the great bulk of this crop will be saved from the ravages of the disease. The harvest in many parts of the County of Down is now fairly siit in, and in general, there are complaint's of the lightness of the corn. The whole way from Banbridge to Lurgan there is a regular harvest. In the townland of Lennaderg, a carres pondent particularly remarked one large and very fine-looking field of corn, in which fifteen reapers were employed. There are few districts in which so much wheat is sown as between Banbridge and Lurgan, and the farmers speak very highly of the crop. Anagha.noon, a townland near War riugstown, :earns to have almost half its cultivated land in wheat, and the appearance is excellent. One fact, well worthy the attention cf the farmers in many parts of the country, is mentioned by a eorresp.ndent, who states that in no instance did he see the scythe used in cutting corn. He asked several intelligent men the reason of their not using the scythe ; and some pronounced it as " unagn cultural," some as "destructive," and one rosy old farmer said that the man that had the hardihood to mow his corn " gullantined his best friend." In all directions in this neighbourhood the potatoes are infected, particularly the " Scotch whites " and " we avers ;" but indeed all bear evident marks of the cli;ease, yet it is making but slow progress to the roots. The continuation of drought has effected disAs- trolls changes on the late potatoes in the neigh bourhood of Saintfield. Two evils are at present at work here destroying the prospects of this un fortunate r ot. What was looked upon as mercy towar.ls the eArly kinds, with the blight cn the haulm—the absence of rain, is death to the growth of those late planted, as they want moisture to carry them on. All kinds have now the plague-spot on their leaves, while the roots are only hein!; found on thos3 planted towards the middle of May ; so that the hopes of these latter arc blast,d The grain crops are fast ripening, not, as in some late years, simultaneously, but afford ing some leisure to be cut down gradually, which is more convenient for the employer, in the present scarcity of hands. Turnips aro sail to be suffering from want of rain in this neighbourhood. The grain crop around Dromore is fast approach ing to maturity, and reaping of wheat and oats has been pretty general, and both promises an abun dant harvest. The potato "blight" has greatly in creased here during the past week. The stalks of the "white rocks" are greatly blackened, but the tubers are very little affected as yet ; and it is the opinion of fanners that, so long as th , l dry weather continues, the tubers will not be much affected. Our accounts from the counties of Derry and Tyrone state, that that part of the country has had a week of intense heat, which has brought on the crops more rapidly than reapers can be had to cut it down. The oat crop is muchligh7er than was an- ticipated, and the straw will be deficient in quan tity, but the g' ain promises an average yield. The wheat crop will be better than any they have had in these counties for some years past. The blight in the potatoes appears to have been checked by the fine weather, and the only difficulty now felt is to get men to secure the harvest. TIM LATE C,,LONEL J. FINNIS.—It is with great satis faction we announce that the Chairman of the East India C.nnpany has, unsolicited, forwarded to the Lcrd Mayor, in the name of the Court of Directors, a cadet ship for his nephew, John Finnis, son of the late Colonel Finnis, who was murdered at Meerut at the commence ment of the present outbreak in India. YET ANOTHER COMET.—A new comet has just been discovered, being the filth of this year. In order to find it in the heavens, a stra ght line should be drawn from Beta and Alpha of Ursa Major to the polar star. At about ten p.m., the cornet is situated a little above this line, at about five degrees from the pole. The appearance of this new heavenly body is not unlike that of the beauti ful nebula of the Serpent. The last three comets die covered were all found in the same region of the sky. THE NEW CREATION OF PEERS.—It is confidently reported that the new title taken by the Marquis of Lansdowne w;11 be Duke of Kerry. The designation now chosen will be most appropriate, inasmuch as the Marquis is already Earl of Kerry, having succeeded as fourtu Earl aid 24th Baron of Kerry in the peerage of Ireland on the death of his cousin, Francis Thomas,his the third Earl, without issue, July 4, 1818,1(,rr and Kerry as his eldest son actually bore the Earldom c l o s t s ir o t . esy w t e itl n e ia d y o w be n p t a o rd l o ii n s a f ilti t o i f n u r_A readers ughust, ed lam fo e r n r t e e m d n in d d e: of Inverness, bestowed some years st here that, with the exception of th n e ne ti n t a e L o ady D c uc eci e l s ia s Underwood, this will be the first dukedom conferred i e l s l ty nn s t in h c ia e y h e efroragcoctetsesn thationto Lord Lansdowne, as Lord Henry Petty, actually suc ceeded ' G on a throne. subject O u rby readersher Majesty f the late Right Hon. William Pitt as Chancellor of the Exchequer and as M.P. for the University of Cam bridge upwards of 50 years since, and that he has held a seat in the Upper douse for nearly half a century, having succeeded to the peerage Nov. 15, 1308. Lord Robert Grosvenor, it is said, will choose the title of Lord Ebury. W 0 may as well mention tbat the large property in Middlesex, now known as Belgravia, came into the Grosvenor family through the marriage of their ancestor Sir Thomas Grosvenor, third baronet, about the middle of the seventeenth century, with Mary, oily daughter and heiress of Alexander Davis, E q , who owned the ancient manor of Ebury, in that county. The Earldom of Middlesex was formerly the second and courtesy title belonging to the Sackvillee, Dukes of Dorset, but became exitict together with that dukedom on the death of Charles, fifth and last duke, without issue male, in 1843. Mr. Macaulay is to be raised to the peerage as Baron Macaulay ; and we be lieve that the English barony borne by his late uncle will be renewed to the present Earl of Fife, who recently accept , d the Chiltern Hundreds for the county of Banff, after having tepresented that constituency for 20 years, LITERATURE. • Quits. A Novel. By the Baroness Tautphoeue, authoress of " The Initials." 3 vols. Bentley. Many novel readers will remember that the for mer work of this authoress attained some degree of celebrity. The present work displays ability, and is sufficiently original to preserve the interest of the reader, though the events are in no degree startling. It relates the fortunes of a young girl, Leonora Nixon, who is left an orphan by the sud den death of her father at an hotel, on their way to England after a continental residence of many years. She goes to the house of a cousin, Lord Med way, where she resides for some time, but as he sets his heart on her becoming his countess, his mother and sisters take alarm and send for his younger brother to arrange matters. This he does. in a very summary manner. He takes his brother to Paris and persuades him out of his resolution, he writes to a city uncle of Leonora's, speaking of her very harshly, and begs he will receive her, and at a day's notice, poo r L eonora, who knows nothing of the reasons for the change, is dismissed to Rus sell-square, to her solitary uncle's residence. Here she remains ten years with very little variety. Her uncle has an only son who, be is deter mind shall figure in the fashionable world and make a grand marriage. This son falls in love with Leonora, but his father refuses his consent, so he marries a widowed lady of fashion, and after a few years. His sorrowing father does not long survive him, and leaves all his wealth to Leo. nora, who suddenly finds herself rich and indepen dent. Her indignation against Charles Thorpe, Lord Medway's brother, is not diminished by dis covering am az her uncle's pawns the letter he had written about her. In company with the family of another uncle, she goes abroad, her continental education having endeared Germany especially to her. Here, as alt lovers of romance will anticipate, she meets Charles Thorpe, now Lord Medway; but as he is travelling with a German friend who mis pronounces his name, and she is generally supposed to be her uncle's daughter, they do not know each other. Leonora is accidentally undeceived, and dislikes him accordingly, while Mr. Torp, as be is generally called, after vainly dissuading his friend from admiring the heroine of such vulgar connections, ends by proposing to her himself, when of course he meets with a decided refusal, which leaves the belligerents " quits." However, affairs are subsequently arranged in a more satis factory manner, though not to the inclination a Count Waldemar, the German friend. The chief part of the story is laid abroad, and a good deal of interest centres in the peasant life of Germany, the love affairs of the village where the party re main some time, and the adventures of the " wilds chuetz" or hunters of the chamois without permie sion—a more adventurous kind of coaching occupy a prominent position. Little is said of London, as the heroine's residence there was peculiarly uneventful, but the villages and views, the Alps and their storms, are described con amore. It gives a complete picture of German life, and one by no means unattractive., while the hills and dales, the tempests and the cataracts, are represented in glowing colours. The story can lay claim also to a certain degree of resemblance to real life. Few novelists would have the courage to represent their heroine as passing ten years, from sixteen to twenty six, in a lonely house in a quiet square. The characters too are life-like. Leonora, herself, is very attractive, and though the same c m hardly be said of Mr. orp, he is certainly a very correct likeness. •Altogether the work is of a superior class and likely to give its readers some pleasant hours. Nearer and Dearer : a Tale out of School. A Novelette. By Cuthbert Bede, 8.A., author of " Verdant Green." Bentley. This " novelette," as it is termed, is a most at tractive little sketch ; sparkling, brilliant, gay, and witty. It is the very book to take up on a tour, or choose as a companion in rural walks and sea side wanderings. It concerns the adventures of an individual who had chosen " Used up" for his motto, and was dying the lingering death of "ennui," when a considerate companion stepped in to stay the sacrifice, and suggest some excitement. There i. nothing more likely to rouse the faculties than getting into an awkward position, and of this Arlingion seemed aware when he propounded his scheme. The various adventures and contretemps that befell Sir Charles Chatterton at the establish ment of "Minerva House," are most amusingly described and ludicrously recapitulated. Mrs. Clapperclaw was a sufficient index to the style and character of her huuse— " She was a lady of large dimensions and portly pace,' dressed in a well-worn black silk, with a shawl loosely thrown about her shoulders. She had a dried-up sort of face, very like a kippered salmon ; she had a pair of spectacles, large enough for the bird of Minerva ; she had a flack wig, coming low down upon her fore head, and bursting upon her kippered-salmon cheeks in a paroxysm of little ringlets, like hairy corkscrews ; she bad a cap made of stiff and dark materials, from which depended two streamers, almost as stiff, and straight, and square cut, as if they had been designed for an Egyptian head-dress ; and she had upon her hands black kid gl)ves with the fingers cut off, apparently for the purpose of ventilation. As she clasped her hands tightly over each other, and stood up stiff and straight, she looked in perfect keeping with the room, and the ~hjects around her—buckram-and -backboard to the backbone." Though outwardly compelled to conform to the mistress's strict rules of propriety and decorum, there was a strong undercurrent of levity in those who waited upon her, as was testified by the romantic Fido, and the flirting Dolly. It was a red letter day in the dreary almanac of the Minerva precincts, when the young baronet entered the mansion. He had asked for a Mss Smith at a venture, but it happen-d that the governess of that name expected her brother from India, and he was taken for that person. The con fusion may be imagined, when, after giving a cor dial reception to the s'ratiger as a relative wham long absence had obliterated from her memory, Fanny was told the truth. However, the other inma t s were not thus enlightened, and when the real Captain Smith arrived, the surprise and con sternation of Mrs. Clapperclaw, who th)ugliti him an impostor, and ordered him out of the house, created a scene that afforded Sir Charles more stir ring amusement than he had ever hoped for. Vari ous other trifles are related in a manner that im parts a zest and vivacity to the tale, while the mys tification caused by Miss Fanny's visitors could not be better described than iu the lines on the title page : " Has she a brother ? Has i.he a nearer one Still, and a dearer one Yet than all other ?" LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Aug. 31.—Wind this day at noon, E.; light, breeze and fine. PORTSMOUTH, Aug.
