harm. _ _

and said he had been with another female. The prisoner
then went and kicked at the prosecutrix's door, and then
went back into her room : and on the prosecutrix's coming out
and going to the prisoner's door to see why she had done so,
the prisoner came out with two razors. and with one of them
struck the prosecutrix on the arm, saying she would "do
for her.- I pulled the prosecutrix away from the prisoner,
who was chopping at her with a razor. I asked the
prisoner to put the razors down, one of them
being open and the other in • ease, and u
she refused to do so I took out my staff and
knocked them out of her hand. I then took the pri-
soner to the station, and when there she said she was
sorry she bad not done for the prosecutrix, as her husband
was Amu' cohabiting with her and other females. The
divisional surgeon attended to the prosecutriz. The muss
produced are those I took from the prisoner.
Prisoner (crying)—l have no questions to ask. I hope
you will not screen me in the least. Give me the utmost
you can. It will Le a relief to my life.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—You will be remanded.

ATTEMPT TO UPSET TRAINS.

Janus Coleman, aged 13, appeared to answer a summons
under the following circumstances:
Mr. Bedford, superintendent of the London and North
Western Company s police, conducted the prosecution.
Thomas Davis, pointsman at the Primrose-hill end of the
tunnel of the London and North Western railway,said about
mid-d.iy on the 10th of June he saw six boys playing about
on the top of the tunnel. Coleman put a piece of timber
19 feet lung, :; inches wide, and 21 inches thick, over the
wall by the side of the tunnel. ?f it had not fallen upon
a bush in its descent it must have gone upon the lines of
metals. He had only cleared a train through the tunnel
a few seconds previously. Both goods and passenger
trains are continually entering into and coming from
the tunnel. It was only the bush which prevented the
wood from going on to the goods line. Witness added
that the defendant was coming down the bank to throw a
second piece of timber over, when he saw him, and ran
off. lie was captured, and his name and address taken.
Mr. Dedfonl informed his worship that there had latterly
been a great increase of this sort of mischief, and
the company felt bound to prosecute. He had now two
cases to prosecute where stones had been thrown at driven
and firemen. 11ne was thrown with such force as to cause
a great indentation in the iron plate of the tender. If the
fireman or driver had been struck there would be no
knowing what sad consequences might ensue.
The magistrate said the case must go for trial, and re-
manded the prisoner.

SOUTHWARK.
IMPUDENT RORBERY IN THE POLICE COURT.

George Sheenan and Thomas Carpenter, rough-looking
young fellows, well known to the police, were charged
with stealing as. 11d, from the person of Margaret Sharpe,
inside this police court.
The prosecutrix, • married woman, stated that on
the previous afternoon she attended the court as a wit-
ness in a case, and while waiting within the apace
allotted to the public the prisoner Sheenan came and
stood on her right side where her pocket was, and all of •
sudden she felt a tug at her dress, and on looking round
she saw Sheenan's hand come out of her pocket, sod some
money dropped on the floor. The other prisoner who was
with Sheenan picked it tip, and said, " That's my
money," and was about to leave the court with it,
when one of the summoning officers came up and prevented
him. She then felt in her pocket, and finding
all her money gone, she gave both the prisoners into cus-
tody. 'When she saw Sheenan's hand leave her pocket,
she was sure he had some of her money in it, and she saw
some drop from it.
The magistrate asked her when she last knew her money
to be safe.

Witness replied that she had taken it out a minute arse
and counted it, as a friend asked to borrow some.
Sheenan here denied the accusation, and said that he
dropped some mousy from his hand, and when the pro-
secutrix said it was her money, he said " No, it is not.
Tommy, pick it up, as it is mine."
Mary Griffith said she was a witness in a case, and saw
the prisoners plant themselves by the right side of the
proisecutrix, and she distinctly saw Sheenan's hand leave
her pocket.
M'illiana Fenner, .57 M, one of the warrant officers, said
he took the prisoners into custody when one of them handed
him 2s. lid. which he said he picked up, and the other had
three shillings on him. Sheenan said he had not picked
the woman a pocket.
The prisoners called forward two of their companions
who swore that the prosecutrix was pulling her pocket.
handkerchief out of her pocket when the money fell out.
The prosecutrix was recalled,and in answer to the magis-
trate, said that she did not have a pocket-handkerchief or
anything else but her money in the pocket at the time ;
in fact, she had no handkerchief with her.
The magistrate observed that there was not sufficient
evidence against Carpenter, therefore he must be dis-
charged, but as for the prisoner Sheenan he would be re-
manded until Tuesday next to complete the depositions.
Von, few days pass without similar robberies being com-
mitted inside the court.

THE ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON, CHATHAM,
AND DOVER RAILWAY.

LATEST PARTICULARS.--(TIIIS DAY.)

The directors of the London,

Chatham,

Dover Railway Company will hold an investigation to-day
into the causes of the above accident. There is a suspicion
that tho points were not fastened tight enough, and it is
supposed that the flange of the carriage wheels slipped
between them and rolled on to the ballast before the
carriages were thrown on their sides against the parapet,
24 feet of which fell into the Vauxhall waterworks re-
servoir. It was a fortunate circumstance that the train was
going at the comparatively slow speed of 10 miles
an hour at the time. There is an express order that all
main line trains shall keep going at a slow rate of speed
when they are on the Metropolitan Extension lines, and
particularly alien they are crawling the bridges over and
near the Thames.
At the time of the occurrence a medical gentleman, who
lives in sight of the viaduct where the accident took place,
was looking out of his window and he saw a cloud of duet
fall from the parapet. In less than • minute he per-
ceived two dark objects falling from the arches into
the reservoir, which was fortunately nearly empty
at the time. He then went to render assistance, and found
that the dark objects were Mrs. Alger, the wife of a grocer,
living at Windsor, and her little daughter Edith, a girl of
4 yeare of age. Although they had fallena distanceof 50ft.
they were, strange to say, apparently uninjured, Mr.
Sampson, the chief engineer of the Vauxhall Water Com-
pany, at once offered to place hie house at their dispwal,
and his offer was accepted. Dr. Sutcliff ordered that
they should at once be placed in bed and
kept quiet. During all last night Mrs. Alger was very
restless, and this morning she was in a nervous
state. Her system has received a severe shock. But the
most serious case is that of her little daughter, whose
spines injured. Mrs. Alger says, " All I know about it is
that I felt the carriage oscillate dreadfully from
side to side, and then I felt as if I was flying through the
air. I saw the child flying, and I did not know what bad
happened until I found myself in the reservoir. I then
thought that all the carriages and the arches were
going to come down upon us, so I got up."
She was accompanied by her servant, Jane Marshall,
aged 19, and the young woman had the baby, aged 1S
months in her arms at the time. The servant was bruised
and received a shock to the system. She is now under
the care of Dr. Sutclitf. She was not thrown out of the
carriage, but she was dreadfully shaken.
It is stated that about 14 passengers were more or lees
injured, but only one-half of their cases are considered
likely to have a serious result.
At St. George's H.:smite' ;11 a dangerous case, viz., that of
a Chelsea pensioner named Robert Willis, aged 80 year.,
residing at Chialehunt. Ile says—l was in • third class
carriage, and I felt all of it knocked to pieces. The floor-
ing tame out." Anne Bridges, aged 50, residing at Can-
terbury, another sufferer from the accident, is also in the
hospital.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

On o'OLocz.

The English funds are steady, at the closing
prices of yesterday, although no change ',has teen
made in the Bank rate of discount. There was no
general expectation that an alteration would be
made to-day, but it appears to be fully anticip ited
that a reduction to .2 per cent. will be decided 'Ton
within a week or two, since the Bank is doing Jery
little business at the existing rate of 2/ percent. Some
of the British railway stocks have improved, the most
important movement being inßrighton,owing to tome
considerable purchases to cover speculative a des.
Foreign bonds are inquired for. The somewhat
more favourable tendency of the markets has hewn
partly caused by the announcement of the chip-
ment of a further sum of 300,000/. in gold from
New York for Europe.
The inquiry for discount is very moderate, while
the supply of money is extremely large. The rate
for choice bills is 2 per cent., with exceptional trans-
actions at 11. In the Stock Exchange short loans
on English government securities are offered at 1
to 14 per cent.
Consols are now quoted 941 to 95, ex div.,
for money, and 95 to /, ex div., for thy ac-
count (August 8) ; and the Three per Cents. Re-
duced and New Three per Cents., 94; to 4.
The railway market is rather firmer. Brighton
stock is in request, and shows a recovery of 1 per
cent. Lancashire and Yorkshire has improved 1 ;
and South Eastern, Great Eastern, and London,
Chatham, and Dover, /. On the other band,
London and North Western and North British
have declined it ; and Great Western, 4.
The present prices are as follows :—Me-
tropolitan Stock, 1244 to 1 ; Great Western,
434 to 1 ; London and North Western, 1121
to 3; Midland, 114 ff to / ; Lancashire and York-
shire, 1271 to 1284 ; Caledonian, 110 to 112 ;

The foreign stock market exhibits a favourable
tendency. Turkish Bonds of 1862 have improved
per cent., and Turkish of 1865 and Italian of 1861,
1, while Spanish Passive have declined 4. Turkish

due on any foreign or colonial loan, they will re-
quire payment of income tax in respect to such de-1
duction. Thus, in future, instead of a deduction
1
of the full amount of the dividend or interest cou-
pon being allowed on part payment of instalments
on such loans, it will be leas the income tax slue
thereon. _ _

The subjoined report on the market for Ameri=
securities is from Messrs. Sntterthwaite and Co. :
At the close of last week the London market for Ameri-
can securities was dull and inactive, but during the past
three days the buying on oowinental account has been re-
sumed, and United States Government Bonds close trio,
the 5,20's of 1862 being last quoted 73 to 734. The Bends
of 1865 have been in considerable request, and the diler-
ence in price between them and the previous issue has
sensibly diminished, the closing price being 711, to 71k. or
$ per cent better than this day week. The announcement
of the customary dividend on Illinois Central appears to
give confidence in the undertaking, which we believe to be
in a sound and prosperous condition the shares have im-
proved to 80 to 3. Erie shires have been largely taken on
American account, and are last quoted 441, to $. Athritic
and Great Western Consolidated Bonds have been dull,
and close flat at 24 to ; the transactions have been on a
more limited scale than usual, and the decrease in the
traffic receipts for the two lint weeks in July has induced
some selling.
The following, on the rice market, is from the
monthly circular of Messrs. Jackson and Till :
- - - - •

There has been a continued demand from the continent
for floating cargoes during the month, resulting in • fair
business (eight cargoes), at fully 3d. per cwt. advance
from previous rates for Rangoon, but without change for
Bassein and Arracan. At these rates the market has been
cleared of all available cargoes, and to secure further early
sailing ships still higher prices must be paid. The stocks
of rice, both on the continent and in the United Kingdom,
are exceedingly small, and for vessels arriving off coast for
sale buyers can be found at extreme rates. The latest
statistics of shipments, with the prices ruling
at the rice forte, show no material change. On
the spot very little business has passed, owing to the
limited quantity on offer, and the indisposition of cleaners to
buy, except for actual requirements, in face of the new rice
arriving. Ten cargoes (eine* our last report) have arrived
of the new crop, two of which have been ordered to
London. We again repeat the opinion expressed in our
last circular, that present rates will be fully maintained
for the next month, and that we may even experience •
slight advanc. The quantity afloat is 189,378 tons, against
200,773 tons last year (July 4th) ; the stock is 7,724 tons,
against 15,138 tons.
