"' The new Threes were done at 951. In the London Railway Share Market to-day, there has not been much business transacted, yet the tone was very fipn. The closing prices were some thing about the same as on Saturday. There is not much doing in the general Produce Markets. The demand for the leading articles of consumption is merely to supply immediate and pressing wants. Prices are, however, well main tained. The London Corn Market was pretty well attended to-day, and Wheat and Flour were quoted higher than on Monday last, with a fair demand. The London Wool Sales continue to be well attended by both home and foreign buyers. For all kinds of wool the biddings have ruled active, and the late advance in the quotations has been fully supported, The Iron trade continues satisfactory. Consider able orders have been received during the week for home consumption, Australia, and the -East Indies. .The number offurnaces blown out is considerable, and the make of native pig iron being so much reduced, the demand for Hydrate and good all "mine, brands iniabated,•and prices firm. Cinder forge pigs, are iiot - Much inquired for, nor, indeed, is much of this kind of iron being now made in South Staffordshire. `On • the- other hand, , the activity which. prevails in Ahe foundries stimulates the demand. for all native Imelters, which are firm at prices below,. inquiries being on foot for several small parcels of good Staf -fordshire_raelters for Nothern Italy and the Soiit2i" of France. The idea gains ground . that -Scot c h pi gs have seen their lowest for the 'present; and if the 13hipments continue ,in the same increased ratio, ex hibited by the returns - for this rind the preceding week, the stock in store will rapidly diminish, prices advance, and a stimulus be given in this way to the • i `iron trade of the whole kingdom. -1-- The following appeared in a portion of our impression of yesterday ;---_ (From t) Daily News City Article.) _ SATURDAY EYENING.—The Funds to-day showed flat ness and closed at a general deeline of k per cent. Some of the leading British Railway Stocks have declined. In Lombard-street 21 per cent. was demanded for the best bills, and it was remarked that the supply of money has dimi nia' bed first-class paper, having six months to run, can scarcely be negotiated below 34- per cent. No-Bullion operations at the Bank to-day. (From 'the . Times' City Aradej SATURDAY EVENING.---The increasing prospect of nu- merous demands on our Money Market, which must, at no distant date, affect the Exchanges, promotes a fe'eling of caution, since it is certain that negotiations are in progress on the part of Russia, and most probably of other powers, to take advantage of any short period of repose to obtain loans from us to the largest practicable extent. The debate on the national defences produced dulness in the funds to-day. Demand for money rather active. Miring the month of July a rise of 14 in Consols has been established. The range for the month is 31 per cent. Consols are sz per cent. higher than on May Ist. The average -rise in the Railway market during July is about 3 per cent. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—AucIusT 1.

MURDEROUS ATTACK ON A POLICE-OFFICER NY A FAMILY. —James O'Farrell, Mary O'Farrell, Rose O'Farrell, Ann O'Farrell, and Patrick Whelan, were charged with' having committed a violent and murderous outrage on a police officer, ,on Saturday. 'Mr. Black appeared Ai. the de fendants. Police -officer Robinson, 757, stated that a' little after four o'clock on Saturday afternoon he was going down h e South Castle- s t ree t , and when near the , top of Atherton street, he s a w one of the female prisoners; who, Addressing him, said, "W e w ill have i t i n for you 'f or fi n i ng us 2 s. l ast week for our dog." -Ho passed on, and on again coming past the street, about five o'clock, he heard a great noise in the house where the prisoners resided. He was requested to look after the house by some neighbours opposite, who said they were afraid that murder was going on moment the two male prisoners came out and commenced fighting. Witness advised them to be quiet and go away ;. but they seized him, and (framed him intothe house, and then closed theiloor upon him. The whole family then seized him (except the elder female prisoner, Rose O'Farrell,) and laid him 01 a table, where they held him,. whilst one of the. women seized a panmug, and, using great force, broke it on his head. In a few minutes afterwards.he saw an officer come into the house, but at that moment. he became insensible, and remembered nothing more until he found himself in a public-house, where a surgeon was dressing his head and face. In answer, to Mr. .Bluelc,. the officer said that he did not draw his staff, as he had no opportunity of doing so. Officer Ward, 248, said that, hearing a terrible noise in the house, he went in, having first burst open the door. On entering the house lie found the whole of the prisoners on the other officer, who was on the table, and the prisoners were boating him. He assisted the complainant to get away fron them, and on another officer coming up they succeeded in arresting the prisoners, after a terrible struggle Mr. Evans, surgeon, who was passing the place at the tim when officer Robinson was brought out of . the how( deposed to dressing his wounds, which he. said were of serious nature. his face was shockingly cut., With th exception of Rose O'Farrell, who was diseharged, all th other prisoners were fined £5 and costs, or s imprisonment at that FIGHTING IN ISLINGTON. — MichaeI Collins and Michael Sutton were charged by Inspector Gardner with-fighting and creating a disturbance on the vacant space of ground in Islington, on Sunday evening. The inspector stated that about half-past - nine o'clock on Sunday night he was passing , along Islington, when there were about 400 persons assem bled on the vacant plot of ground, several of whom were deeply engaged in diseussiner Scripture and.religion. About eleven o'clock he p asse d the spot again. •At that time the number, of persons had been reduced to about 200„but at this period they appeared very much excited, and an ex . - ceedingly angry feeling seemed to prevail amongst them. The two prisoners were amongst the number, and whilst witness was present they commenced a fight, and attacked each other like two ferocious bull-dogs. ! Mr. Mansfield said that some two years ago he gave .direetions that . such assemblies as these should not be permitted after.night fall. The thing was a complete nuisance, for it was quite clear that such persons as the prisoners went there for: no other purpose than that of creating a row.. The prisoners were discharged, the magistrate remarking that if they had been there before he would have punished them severely. • THE STRIKE AMONGST THE COAL HEAVERS-7-INTIHI• DATING Woulamr.—William-Morgan, a coal heaver, was charged with intimidating ; William Campbell, Another coal heaver, with the intention of preventing him from ,follow ing his employment. ,Mr..;Bluck, in , support of the com plaint, said that he appeared on. behalf of Mr. Keating, who was a master coal Jumper 'in the employ. of Mr. Johns, agent for Messrs. Powell , and Sons, coal merchants, -The charme:against the prisoner was that of intimidating: other workmen: Mr. Keating,. as , a , coal lumper; employed about' 150 hands, and his principal 'busines& was to , put coals on board the different ocean steamers in large quantities. They were under an engagement to put as many as 1,000 tons of coals.on board the Steamers in a. certain time, or otherwise a considerable expense was incurred for demurrage Sunday afternoon, about five o'clock; the prisoner, wt_ .... William Campbell, who . was employed for . Mr. Keating loading coals for. the City of Baltimore steamer, and he told him that if he again went to work on the City of Bab timore lie would have his mouth broken. The eorisequenc was that.: Canipbell dared not go to work, being afraid that the prisonei would carry his threat out. There had been a turn-out amongst the coal heavers, and it appeared that Campbell would not join the turn-outs; and was working for less wages than they demanded. The case having been proved, Mr. Mansfield, addressing the prisoner, said - that it appeared he was not known there, and therefore it was rea sonable to suppose that he was 'a hard-working labourer, which was an honourable_employment, and he'ought to be _ _ respected by everyone. lie (Mr. Mansfield) was quite in clined to entertain the respect for him ; -but -.he-must take this important fAct into consideration -that a working man's property consisted solely of his labour. lielmd a right to do with that labour what he pleased, and no human being was at liberty, in any way or form whatever, to interfere with him. lie must remember that, as a working man, he had a wife and family to support; and his labour being his only. means of supporting such family, it was bis , privilege to sell it, .and dispose of it, as his own, in any manner he might think fit. It was his own,and it was his business to get what he could for it—be it much or be it little. If, in doing this, he was interfered with by any man, he was interfered with in the disposal . of .it, which the law gave him an unlimited right to dispose of, as one of his greatest liberties. There was no , authority in this.- country,—not even Her Majesty herself—no law, which could interfere with this liberty on .the subject ; no man' could interfere with that' which the law diet Rot .allow.!a man to inter fere with. If he (Mr. Mansfield) had thought that the prisoner intended to do the complainant an injury of a serious character, he.. should • have 'sent him to gaol for.three months; but he • did not think so ; still, he must warn him, and he. must also warn his fellow workmen, that if they in future interfered with any man in the manner now complained of, they would be very severely punished, and it was only because he could not bring him self to believe that he intended t o inflict a serious injury that •he now allowed him to go unpunished. The prisoner, after this admonition, was discharged. A SOLDIER CHARORD WITH DEFRAUDING .THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY Cosii.krzy—A young malt, named William Lawson, a private soldier, just bought off from - his regiment, ,was charged .with defrauding. the London and North-•weatern Railway Comps*, ;by riding from London to Liverpool without a ticket.- Meßedwelt, of the firm of Messrs. Lace and Co., appeared in: support of the charge, and stated that on the arrival of the early, train, :yosterday. morning, from Euston-square,. London,- the pri soner was asked for his ticket, when he had none. The answer he. 7 .gave:was. that ‘he must have lost it.• The com pany. did not: wish :any penalty. to be inflicted; bid 'only asked for the fare. •;. In answer to Mr. Mansfield, ;. the _ _ _ _ defendant said that his father, 'who' was a shipwright in Liverpool, had bught him off for the sum of £2e On Saturday ho loft Chichester, where his regiment was sta tioned, and laft London-bridge Station for the Euston Station in the evening, being "in a harry to get down to Liverpool. - , lle, took a third-class ticket for Liverpool,' and when ho arrived at Edge-hill he found he bad log it. -The cage Was remanded until to-day. • On'satou OP B 1 AMY, ---A middle-aged man, named George Chester, a gate-keeper in the service of the London and North-western Railway Company, at Crewe, was charged with having committed bigamy by marrying a person named Ellen Holmes, his first wife being at the time alive. It was stated that the first marriage took . place fifteen years ago, and the second ten years ago, the first marriage having only been discove re d b y the prosocutr i x about three months ago. Mr. Muck appears on behalf of the prisoner: , Police o!Ecer 67 deposed to arresting the prisoner in , Paddington, ge-hill,Saturday evening. Mrs. e n, an on Oll rto ' elderly first woman, was called on the part of the prosecution, to prove the marriage of the prison er in the year 1834; but in the course of . her examinatio n she hesitated to s pe a k to the identityof the prisoner.

Clough stating , that the prisoner's' accounts had not been fully gone through, and he (Mr—Clough) was sure that the Townclerk. would not be satisfied until that was done. The chief Clerk in the water department' stated that they could 'go through the, books byto-morrow (this day), in order to be able to ascertain whether there were any further . defaleations. The further investigation , of the case was then deferred until to -day; IJIAKENHEAD P( E COURT STERDAT NORTHERN DAILY TIMES )11N JACKSON AND J. B. CAS .—Adam Davis, second mate of the ship Ellen Foster, was brought up by detective officer Carlyle, on a charge of having committed severe assaults on four of the, crew belonging to that ship, named respectively 'Antonio Ferric, .Nicholas Yoki, Natli Nicholas, and John.Lithgow. C Jr 3SAULT ONBOARD THE ELLEN FOSTER . Jne of the complainants, Nicholas Yoki was- supposed:to have• been drowned while attempting to swim ashore' from, the ship, hut it was found that-a ship had picked him up In the river, and he appeared against the prisoner. Mr. C. Aspinall prosecuted ;- Mr. Cobb defended. Mr- Aspinall said :, In this ease,- the ,ship Ellen Foster is an American ,ship,..aud outward-bound. , am here to proceed in. the.prosecatiori, and, as it has already been intimated, it was brought first before Mr. Mansfield,- at Liverpool, and Mr. Cobb diverted the'streani, anitbrought it 'td this side, of the. water.. It appear& that the F.lien Fos ter had a number of Austrian seameni on board;• and on Monday last, the second mate came on boas dfor the fit time. The captain was not on board, and, consequently, the. second mate was in charge of the ship, Up to Monday, • the 25th ultimo, all went, on well on board the ship, but it is not my intention to say what took place on that day or since; as the men are here themselves to teltyou what occurred. You arc aware that. it has be , c - ery 'Atli I with respect to-the antain:s dut .4 very often laid down -what the lair is )11. shipboard awny from any, por this, ountry--,-thA g antllority ob correct.tite A. - • and : within• the ,juris -- diction of the law of the land, the captain ,bas :no authority. farther. than to . maintain disciplina-• on board. his vessel. You. are aware thatent.of port the-first officer nor the second officer has no right whatever--that, in fact, no person, can, administer corporeal: punishment except the captain. How much less right, then, has the second mate to administer such p un i s h ment within ,the jurisdiction of the magistrates It appears to me,, from the manner in which those Americans conduct themselves, that the fewer of their ships that visit this port, except for commercial parposes, the. better. Ho then went:on to say that,_ under the circumstances, when the evidence was heard, .he thought the magistrates. would commit the prisoner to the assizes; and as the Chester assizes were but a few days off, it would be well to have. error there,, in order, that he might receive such punishment as his • conduct merited, and as . would teach other Americans a lesson, if it were possible,•ta , teach them at all.. The witnesses were then ordered out of court. Antonio Ferri was ; examined through: an ..interproter,. and stated that he was =able seaman on board the Ellen Foster, and joined her on Thu rs d a y, th e ,2 1st instant.• The ship was lying on the ,Cheshire side of the: river. On Monday last he was doing something on the famtop, and.the second • mate threw some lumps of coal at : The mate appeared to be cursing and- swearing, at least he- thought. so. by the , . noise he was making. • The coals were. about the size of his fist. , None of .. the .coals struck, him.: About Half-past six o'clock on the. same evening the prisoner struck him 'with •the shaft 70 a broom two or' three times with all his might. The,reason was that.the. prisoner ordered the wit nesS to, brush down the side of the ship, and he did not ' understand ; but began to hrush. the . ..deck. was struck , with the soft part of the- broom on - the back of. the head. .On the Tuesday following, the prisonm,struek him with his hands two or. three times- very hard on the back. Wit ness was. working at -the backstairs,and the prisoner wanted him. to do his. .work : faster.. On ...Wednesday night about eleven o'clock, it was the witness's watch on deck. A boat came alongside, anti the prisoner said if the. witness attempted .to run away.,he would shoot him. He had a pistol in his hand, and there was another lying on the Capstan. About an hour and a half after the pistol was presented. ataim, he jumped overboard. He thought it was ; better to he drowned than killed.on board: To Mr. Cobb.: J had got my advance-note. I had been on board two or three days when the second mate came on. board. I did, not complain to the„-first mate. I did not cry out ; but when the pistol was presented I. cried o u t. I. took time to con sider before I jumped overboard. 'When I was. truck I did not fall down„but took hold. of the rigging.. The first mate saw him struck, and said to the prisoner that was enough. I would not take anything to 'go in • an. American ship.- I have been an able .seaman for. three :years. and,a half.. To Aspinall,: ~ I , , ltatohed my opportunity. to, jump, over board'as soon as the scowl mate went aft. 'Nicholas. Yoki said : I was an. able seaman on board the Ellen Foster. • I recollect Monday, last. I saw: the second 'mate strike the last witness with a broom on- the back of. .the head. He struck hiM very hard. ' I did 'not see' p.nythinc , else. Ferri:then went to sweep down the deek. On the same day the prisoner struck me, and twisted mi neck. . I was knocked down: on the'deek, and from the fall I bled from the ,nse and the mouth, and from the left ear. On Tuesday I Was rolling a bariel, and. the prisoner' lifted a' ,rope's end : and struck me on the back of the neck, and . o n th e h an d . The.rope Was about three inches thick. I 'think it was the : fore-topsail hatilyards. On Wednesday I was. wringing a mop, and the.pri.soner kicked me on th e s id e ' and took hold of my head'and twisted ray neck: I jumped overboard at the same time as Fer r i. The 'mate and the 'second mate of' the English ship Mamelon saved *me. Mr. Cobb cross examined the witness, but nothing of consequence was elicited. Natli. Nicholas . : I was on board th e s hip Ellen Foster as a seaman, and 'on • Monday last ,the 'Second mate struck me and knocked me down on the deck,: and gave pie a black eye. I gave a boat that was coming alongside the wrong rope, and that was the reason. lle called me . aft afterwards, and struck me - and kicked me severa l times, and struck mee - With an iron spade. The next day the priSoner struck me with a piece of Wood, about a yard long ,and three inches broad. He struck' me on the sma ll o f th e b ac k: ,I saw,the prisoner strike Ferri with a broom, and the first mate said that was enough. I did not see him strike- Yoki. To Mr. Cobb: "have known Yoki and Ferri since I cane to Liverpool. I had not got the blank eye in ii,fight on shore., The-mate gave me that black eye,. and I could not see.for three days after. John Lithgow, another. complainant, was called and said : . was an able seaman -On board the Ellen Foster, going on the voyage from LiVerpeol tO Cal cutta and. Boston. I, remember , last, 316nday, and on that day, the prisoner said to me, ," You dog, yon Must move along, or I will throw you overboard." e Were *Corking at shifting the salt. Ile said when we, would go to sea he would. Mike me pay for it.. On.tberTueiday he took hold of me by the'neek, and shoved me Off the poop and punched me with his foot five or six times. On Wednesday hestrak me in the faCe with his fist. I was 'gang .aloft to unfurl the sails, and he told me if, I would not go ,up he wofild take my. life; that was after he Struck me. 1 saw the mate strike Ferri with the broom. Ire struck him with the handlecif the broom, and hot with the other soft end of the broom. was put handcuffs, because th e o ffi cer wanted me to s oothe ashore.' John . Hill said:' On TueSday he saw•the second mate strike NicholaS with a brooin. The first mate took the broom out of his hand, and' said he would have none of hat. The prisoner struck Nicholas on the eye. I saw the prisoner Strike Yoki on the jaw, and Pull' hira about. saw him chuck Ferri on the neck.. To Mr. Cobb: . I' went on board on' , the Monday. morning, at the same time as the second mate s and I' saw. nothing improper on that day. Mr. Cobb, for the defence, addressed the bench, and stated that lie did not think it.at all neces sary that witnesses should be called, as the Witnesses for the prosecution had told such very different stories, that hewas sure the magistrates put no more "faith :in what they 'had sworn to than he did, and that was 'none at all.

London journals: have fallen, and which. has .caused them to , argue an data , .. It says . erroneous "After the• announcement in, the • ilioniteur,;; it would mosfeertainly be superfluous. to ;take any further notice - of the arguments:ealledforth, in the :English press,,.hy- the note of Tuesday, on, the comparative., war- budgets of England and of Trance.. But, with sespeet to this flrstinote; a sin gular fact has occurred which we cannot suiller to pass unnotieed. By a mistake of the..felegraph—for we cannot think that bad faith would be carried so farthe year 1853, given in the Monitevr. as the point_ of co m p ar i son o f th e French, war budget, ,before the campaign in the Crimea, is changed' in several o f ,th e English journals, .and ,certainly in the Tinies and Mornbig - Post; into the year 1813. It is easy to see the effect which must result in arggment from the - substitution of ;the yea - 0813i when the grand coalition of all.Etirope against France was formed, kr- the year 1853 a state. of pence. We hoc that the' EngliA journals, will correct this great mistake,•anct that the Times and Morning Post "u ill havelhe good faith to: acknowledge that, having taken 1813 for 1853, a s t a t e o f war f or a state' of, peace, all their argunients ron the subject' stand for. mailing; The Gazette de France- alone has. a captioris, ill natured article, arid, far from endeavouring to smootk dawn the irritation which has beenlManifested in the.

'47aYouring to increase that feeling- It says • " Who. t. a Peace . footing for the, French army. and‘nuty?• Such-is the question which naturally suggests itself on read ing the official note. The: peace . footing is an, organisatiOn capable of receiving 600,000 . men, .the,. effective foree• of which several journals gave a table before the war in Italy showing that, without extraordinary. levies, Franco, could. have in a month 560,000 soldiers tinder arms. .As for our navy, the .vessel , s.alreadylannolied will. probably not be laid up and, dismested, the WorkS suspended,: and. the cannon thrown into - the sea. The French- navy will remain what it . was and must, be t . ever ready for the _defence. of the country, and constantly, profiting by all, the , im,provements that experience and kienee may suggest. The. terrors of ourneighbours must not have the result of arresting the 4eveiopmOi t of our fleet, which has 'beep. in Con stant 'progress ever since the Restoration, and has put us in possession of the finest naval force in the. world. It is well'-known '.that we have always .thOught that France ought to extend her colonial possessions and 'utilise her .naval forces in the protection of the national establishUients abroad. Beeping these projects in view, we , think there- is not, properly speaking, any such thing as a peace footing' for the French - navy—that is to say, any pos sible reduction in the naval strength. If England sees any cause of alarm in this state of our forces, she is free to in crease her own; but it i s i m p oss ibl e to admit that, in order to allay the fears of our ally, we ought to abandon projects . which are the base of our commercial *d eve l o p m e n t i n- t h e world, the first'condition-of 'the seentity and prosperity of our colonies.."''"'' j"'''"''' [ADVERTISEMEII TO THE EDITOR OF. THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. Stit,--11aving been one of the passengers on board the Sea King, on the2lth ult., and a man of l ong exper i ence at - sea, I must say I was somewhat surprised on reading the letter in the Post,"Signed by the owners of the Lion, espe cially as they 'say there were many nautical men among their passengers who support the assertion of the, captain, of the Lion, which' U, that the capt a i n o f t h e Sea K ing alone . , was to blame f,or the collision; theysay, also, had the ladie s and 'gentlemen who signed their names to the statement been 'better acquainted with 'the rule laid down for oue steamer passing another in a narrow channel, they would ha've - censured the , officers of the Sea King rather than those who were in charge of 'the Lion. Now,, really, Mr. Editor, I am not aware that the., long-laid-down rule of porting the helm ih all cases of one vessel passing another has been abandoned; and, if not, certainly the Sea King was obeying that rule by attempting to pass the Lion on the'starboard side, which' she would have done without any collision had the Lion 'not pressed her so close on the Brazil Bank, in ,the vicinity of No. 6 Buoy of the Rock Channel, that unless the ran on the bank it was impossible to port any more. -- These gentlemen say again, had the Lion attempted to steer to the other side of the channel the movement would .. certnitily have seemed to indi cate a wish to cross the bows Of the Sea King. Now; I should like any nautical wan to Say hoW•this can lie. The Lion was on the port-bow of the Sea Ring, bath boats steering to the 'westward, and of course by steering to th e other, or south side of the Channel, would have gone right away frorn the Sea King, as the latter did from her after reversing clear of her stern, proving that on the port-side' of the Litin at the time of the collision there was ampl e room to have used the starboard helm,. and have given th e S ea Ki ng room to pass. They also speak of the heavy cargo on b oar d t h e Lion : for thy part, I neither saw Cargo no r passengers wort h s p eaking of, whereas the S ea King was crowded with the hitter, and a fair proportion of the former.

'We hav e not unfrequentry heard rema r k s o f thi s ki nd made !, 11 _ . courts of justice when a yoimgdelinquenf has appearedill the dock unrectaimed by the discipline of a reforniatory,school , from schicffhe heti perhaps been o nly a fe w we ek s di sc h arg ed. nothing , But ning can be more unjust than to judke, o f a woo by such isolated cases. Nothing can be more absud than to conclude that, because every attempt at reformation deft not succeed we should therefore make .no such attempts aC art.

It was absolutely necessary- to do sonic' thing to check the alarmin g crop of crime- which Was growing every day - more thick and rank arouncrus,' and fur tunately France and Belgium had. shown'ns-theway to do it.

From the second `report of the 'lnspector of Reformatory Soho* just publislidd 'we learn th a t th er e were;..iip to the, end of last year, tifty-eight such e s t a blishments ,i n Gres! Britain.
