ONLY MARKET.

AND
COMXERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
d In the general discount market the inquiry is
escribed as tolerably active, at previous quotations.
Notice has been given that the bonds of the Con-
federate Loan will be ready for delivery in ex-
change for the paid-up scrip on the 24th inst., and
that the half-year's interest on them will be pay-
able on the Ist pros.
The accounts from the various manufacturing
districts for the past week have generdlly been
satisfactory. A better inquiry has prevailed for
both cloths and yarns at Manchester, and prices
are sustained. The woollen trade of Leeds, Brad-
ford, and Huddersfield has been animated, owing
to the inquiries for autumn and winter goods. The
hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and No t-
tinghara have shown considerable activity, andin
the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffielid ,
and Wolverhamptoa there has been considerable
activity in most departments.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 45c.
Rather firm.
At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the
Bank of Australasia, Mr. H. C. E. Childers in the
chair, a dividend was declared for the past six
months, payable on the 13th proximo, at the rate
of 14 per cent. per annum, free of income tax. It
was stated that all the new £lO shares had been
allotted, with the exception of 245, which would be
placed upon the market in the customary way, and
the premium carried to the credit of the bank.

Nothing of importance has transpired to-day in
the English Stock Market, and the few dealings,
speculative and for immediate delivery, that have
been eztered into have not resulted in any material
variation, Console being 93 f for transfer, and 931
for the account. The New Threes are marked 93 I;
the Reduced, 931 ; Exchequer Bills, ls. die. to
2s. prem.; India Stock, 2241 f and the 5 per Cent.
do., 108 i t.

In the Foreign Market there has been very little
change of importance, and business has continued
quiet. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 68 ; Ditto
Conso'ides, 481 j ; Mexican, 38 ; Greek,
33; 1; Ditto Coupons, 151 16; Spanish Passive,
34k lo Ditto Certificates, 12i a ; Italian, 71 f„
Portuguese, 48i ; Egyptian, 104 i 105; and the
Confederate Loan, 25 to 23 dis.

In the Railway Share Market the operations have
been extremely limited, and prices have generally
shown a downward tendency. Great Eastern A
stock has declined 10s.; and Lancashire and York-
shire, ss. ; while North-Westerns have improved
108., and South-Eastern, £l.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
any material valuation.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are, in some in.;
stances, a shade flatter. Alliance of London and
Liverpool have receded to 351 ; London and West-
minster have improved to 78 ; Union of London
realise 351 ; Crystal Palace Stock 40 to 401; Hod-
son Bay Company 21 3 ; Oriental Inland Steam 3-1- ;
and Quebradit Land and Rail 3 to 34.

KENSINGTON, or the " Old Court Suburb," as
Leigh Hunt loved to call it, is spoken of by the
London Review as the spot where the great red-brick pa..
lace of William and Mary reposes with a kind of Dutch
somnolency in the midst of its leafy woodland--where the
solid, warm .tinted, high-roofed houses of the Revolutionary
epoch yet I inger in the High•street,—where the quaint,
brick-built church, with its formal row of pollard trees in
front, still stands in the void-stream of omnibuses and cabs
--where Holland House, in which Addison lived and died,
rises venerably from among its trees, though, at the Not-
ting-hill end, the park is being invaded by a road of new
houses-Where the mansion built by Princess Ann and
Prince George of Denmark remains side by side with the
reins of the still older Campden House, recently destroyed
by fire, after an existence of two centuries and a half--
where the dwelling once tenanted by Sir Isaac Newton
hides away in a back street, and the shadows of 18th cen-
tury wits and statesmen are visible to the literary eye et
every Equaro Yard of ground.

" As the Crown Princess and myself, with our

this province, and have had opportunities to visit
several portions of it, we cannot close our visit with-
out expressing to the inhabitants of Pomerania our
sincere thanks for the numerous proofs of attach-
ment and devotion with which we have been
greeted wherever we have appeared. The memory
of the weeks we spent in Pomerania will always be
cherished by us; and I commission you to make
known our sentiments in this respect to the pro-
vince.

" FREDERIC WILLIAM, Crown Prince.
" Governor of Pomerania.

ON TILE QUEEN'S ARRIVAL at the Windsor
Station on Monday last from Osborne, her Majesty asked
the cause of the absence of the inhabitants from the plat-
form she had been in the habit of seeing. On being told
that the officials considered they were consulting the wishes
of her Majesty by shutting out the public, the queen re-
plied, "Not now, not now."_

resume their duties at Windsor Castle at Christmas next.

the tomb of Snakspeare, will come under the notice of a
very critical and learned audience.

CLERICAL VIVISECTION.—A frightful case! thus
described by the Saturday Review :—sorne years
ago an eloquent divine was selected for the office of Colonial
Bishop, and was actually sent out to the Antipodes, to get
some experience in the sphere of his future labours. On his
return, he is said to have anticipated his consecration by
purchasing and wearing the full episcopal costume. A hitch
occurred, and the Bishop designate was not thought strong
enough for the place, and remains a priest to this day. By
degrees, and one by one, the unfortunate victim was com-
polled to drop his dignified habiliments. First, he was
shelled out of his shovel hat, then he was unfrocked of his
apron, afterwards he was shorn as to his episcopal gaiters,
and lastly the rochet and lawn sleeves were offered for sale
at an alarming sacrifice. It was a regular case of a parson
subjected to vivisection in its severest shape. The Bishop
designate was unbishoped by slow agonies and protracted
torments far worse than any inflicted in the notorious vete-
nary schools of Lyons and Alfort.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
The country markets held on Samrday were fairly sup-
plied with new wheat, for the most part of fine quality.
The demand ruled heavy, and prices declined quite ls, in
some instances 2s, par quarter.
Very moderate supplies of spring corn were on offer, yet
all descriptions met a slow sale, at drooping currencies.
Flour moved off slowly, at barely late rates.
We learn from New York that the trade for wheat and
flour is in a sluggish state, on easier terms. On the con-
tinent the corn markets are flat.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were very moderate, but were rather in excess of the pre-
vious week. The imports from abroad amounted to 11,129
quarters of wheat, 2,335 barley, 39,018 oats, 1,940 beans,
625 peas, 8,884 linseed, 5,536 oilseeds, 3,600 maize, 60 sun-
dry seeds, 220 sacks and 12,229 barrels of flour.
Only a moderate supply of new home-grown wheat was
received fresh up to this morning's market. Nearly the
whole of the produce, however, was of fine quality, and the
samples came to hand in good condition. The trade, both
for red and white parcels was heavy in the extreme, and,
compared with Monday last, a decline of 4s. per quarter
took place in the currency. At the close of business a
clearance had not been effected. The show of foreign wheat
on the stands was tolerably extensive. The demand was in
a sluggish state, both fer American and Continental
produce, and, compared, with Monday last, the prices rea-
lised showed a fall of from is to 2s per quarter.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, and wheat
was decidedly lower in price.
The supply of old English barley was very small, and
only a few samples of new were on offer. A parcel of new
Seale barley was exhibited for sale. The trade was very
slow for all descriptions, yet no quotable change took place
in prices from Monday last, New Kent produce realised
37s per qr. The foreign supply was but moderate.
Malt sold heavily, at barely previous quotations.
The market was fairly supplied with oats, chiefly forage.
The trade was dull, and to have pressed sales lower prices
must have been accepted.
No change took place in the value of beans, but the
demand for them was very inactive. There was a some-
what increased supply of old produce on offer.
Peas were dull, but without quotable change in value
from last week. The supply on offer was very moderate.
The flour trade, both as regards home and foreign de-
scriptions, was in a slugglish state, and prices had a down-
ward tendency. Town made was reduced 4d per 280 lbs.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COIIRT—This Day.

The August Session of the Central Criminal Court com-
menced this morning at the Sessions Houses, Old Bailey,
before Alderman Sir R. W. Carden, who sat as locum tenens
for the Lord Mayor, the Recorder (Mr. Russell Gurney),
Alderman William Lawrence,Alderman Allen, the Sheriffs,
Alderman J. C. Laurence, and Hugh Jones, Esq., Mr.
Under-sheriff Mackrell, Mr. Under-sheriff Farrar, and
other civic authorities.

The calendar contains a list of 116 persons for trial, the
offences for the most part being of the ordinary character.
The grand jury having been sworn,
The Recorder, in delivering his charge, remarked upon
the absence from the calendar of any charge of wilful mur-
der ; there were, however, two cases of assaults with intent
to murder or do grievous bodily harm. In the first case a
man named Henry Tink was charged with cutting the
throat of his brother, Charles John Tink. It appeared
from the depositions that the prisoner had invited his
brother to come to London to obtain work, but failed to ob-
tain any. They slept together, and during the night the
prisoner unbuttoned his brother's shit, but at the time his
brother took no notice of it and fell asleep. Soon after
he felt a cutting at his throat ; he called out
" Murder," and then discovered his brother with a
razor in his hand cutting at his throat. Two other per-
sons were sleeping in the same room and came to his
aasistanee, and the prisoner was prevented doing any further
injury. The razor was found in the bed covered with
blood. There was no doubt that the prosecutor's throat
had been seriously cut and wounded, and the only question
was by whom the wound was inflicted. There was another
case in which a woman, named Eliza Robins, was charged
with administering poison to two of her infant children.
She was seen to go into a pastrycook's and buy a tart, and
then cover it with a white powder, part of which she gave
to one of the children, and the rest she put into the mouth
of the other infant in her arms. On being charged with
attempting to poison her children, she endeavoured
to excuse herself by saying that she was not able to
support them, and did not like their going to the work-
house. Upon the facts, as stated in the depositions they
would have no difficulty in sending the case for trial.
There were no less than seven charges of manslaughter. In
one case a man named Josph Begint was charged with kill-
ing a woman with whom he cohabited, named Ann Giffen
It appeared that on the 3d of August she came home, when
the prisoner charged her with being drunk, he himself
having been drinking. He commenced beating her, and
she was heard to cry out, "Don't beat me so, you will
kill me ;" when he replied he would do so beforo he had
done with her. He then knocked her down, and the day
after she died. On examination it was found one of her
ribs was broken and it had penetrated the lung. There was
also a wound on the skull, and there was no doubt that the
injuries were the cause of death. There was also a case of
a woman named Sullivan, charged with stabbing and kill-
ing a man named White, with whom she cohabited. It ap-
peared that there had been a quarrel between them, and
that the deceased was endeavouring to force the prisoner
out of the room, when she took up the knife and stabbed--
the deceased, and no doubt one of the main arteries was
cut, causing the death. The wound was inflicted in a fit of
passion, which reduced the offence from murder to man-
slaughter. The learned Recorder then remarked on the
several other cases of manslaughter, and after some few
other observations the jury retired to their duties.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STREET RUFFIANIS.II.—WiIIiam Jackson, of 5, COMM-
street, Russell-square, marine store dealer, and John
Hamilton, of 15, Dean-street, Spitalfields, were charged
before Mr. Tyr whitt with being drunk and disorderly; and
Hamilton was further charged with assaulting Sergeant
Thomas Dodsworth, 293 A, and Mr. James Parkhurst,
foreign china dealer, of 6, Cambridge-street, Golden-square,
who went to the assistance of the sergeant.
The sergeant saw the prisoners, shortly before one this
morning, drunk, fighting together, and making a great
disturbance outside one of the ice shops in Oxford-street,
and on requesting them to go away they made use of the
most disgusting language, and refused to leave. The ser-
geant then attempted to take them into custody, when
Hamilton threw himself on the ground and kicked him
about the shins. Mr. Parkhurst, who was on his way
home with his wife, seeing the sergeant illused, went to his
assistance, and some constables arriving, the prisoners were
taken to the station, and while on the way Hamilton deli-
berately kicked Mr. Parkhurst in a violent manner—Mr.
Parkhurst at the time being engaged in carrying the con-
stable's hat.

Jackson said that on coming aut of the ice shop his wife
said she had lost her watch, and the sergeant said it was
more likely that he (Jackson) had taken one, and then there
was a disturbance.
Hamilton said it Was no use saying anything.

Mr. Tyrwhitt fined Jackson 20s. or 14 days, and Hamil-
ton 40s. or two months for the assault on Mr. Parkhurst,
and 10s. or 14 days for assaulting the sergeant.
THE PESTS ov THE Pinu.i.—A well dressed German,
named Wilhelm Huntebrunk, who described himself as a
sugar baker at Whitechapel, was charged with grossly im-
proper conduct in Hyde-park, near Grosvenor-gate.
The case having been proved by Lloyd, a constable of
the A division,

The prisoner, through Mr. Alberf, the interpreter, said
he was a foreigner, and that he had only been in London a
short time.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said the foreigners must behave them-
selves as well as other people, and his being a foreigner
was no excuse, for he must be well aware that in his own
country he would be punished for such conduct.
The prisoner was then committed for three months with
hard labour.
