(From E. F. Sattertlacaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular,

August 15.)
Per " Africa" our usual weekly advices, from New York
to the 31st ult., report continued ease in the money market,
the rate for advances on Government securities ruling at
from three to four per cent., and for loans at call five per
cent. The dulness which usually characterises the Stock
market at this period of the year was even more marked
than usual, but prices were well maintained for both Go-
vernment stock and Railroad securities ; in the latter there
was a disposition exhibited to advance quotations on the
prospect of an abundant harvest throwing large in-
creased traffics on all the lines, especially those between
the West and the sea ports.
In Railroad Mortgages and State Bonds the transactions
were very limited.

We have again to report a heavy amount of business in
the London market for American securities. The large
importations of United States 5-20 Bonds have had a de-
pressing effect, and the closing quotation, 68 to f, shows
a slight decline from last week. Illinois Shares on con-
siderable purchases for shipment to New York, were at
one time taken at 761, but on higher quotations of gold
by telegraph to-day have reacted, and close 741 to 1. For
Eries there has also been a large demand, on which they
improved to 43, but are last quoted 421 tot-.

will give the officers of our fleet and the Americans a
hearty welcome.
EARLY CLOSING ON SATURDAYS.—It will be in
the recollection of our readers that at a meeting of
ladies held about a month since at Stafford-house, on the
invitation of the Duchess of Sutherland, it was decided to
make an effort to obtain a weekly half-holiday for those
employed in the retail establishments of Loudon, particu-
larly at the West-end. The linendrapers' and mercers'
trades were selected for the primary experiments, and, after
hearing the arguments adduced in favour of such a course,
34 of the leading houses agreed to make the essay by
closing their business at 2 o'clock on Saturday. So far the
experiment, we believe, has proved satisfactory, and 38
other houses in various retail trades have adopted the same
course, while a large number of smaller houses have deter-
mined to close at 5 or G o'clock on Saturday.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 18, 1866.

with shawls, bonnets, and various articles of dress,
Many arrests of bad characters have been made,
The number of victims is not yet correctly ascer-
tained.

Another accounts says, " The whole of the im-
mense crowd coming in two portions in a contrary
direction led to the death of eight persons, and a
great number of the crowd were more or less in-
jured. Fifty persons at least were hurt. The
Minister of the Interior having been informed of the
circumstance immediately proceeded to the spot,
and personally superintended the organisation of
assistance and the transport of the persons either to
their homes or to the hospital. The Minister (the
Marquis de la Valette) did not leave the Palace of
the Corps Legislatif till one o'clock in the morning.
It was there that the injured persons were tem-
porarily placed at first. On the bridge and in the
vicinity of the Place la Concorde were five peace-
officers, having under their orders about a thousand
men. At first they succeeded in repressing the
crowd, but after the fireworks the power of the mob
in motion was so great that the police were quite
overpowered. A woman fell down first, and her
fall caused the overthrow of a great many people.
Some additional police arrived. Eight dead per-
sons and one dying were removed as speedily as
possible."

The Cologne Gazette states that the Cabinet of
Mudch has determined to resist the demands of
Prussia, who, however, is prepared to enforce them
by all means. The Constitutionnel, referring to this
assertion, says :—" Everything leads to the belief
that Bavaria will finish like the other States, who,
not having spontaneously accepted the Prussian al-
liance, now submit to the law of the conqueror."
La Liberie tells the following anecdote :—A
young man, about to marry, went to the priest to
be confessed. "My son," said the priest, " have
you ever told lies ?" " Father," replied the young
man, " I am not a lawyer." " Have you ever
robbed?" " I have never sold anything." " Have
you ever killed any one?" " Oh, Father," said the
penitent, modestly bowing his head, " 1 am a doc-
tor."

Some odd descriptions are occasionally written
down for the information of the officers engaged in
taking the census of the population in France.
Here is an authentic specimen. One of the mem-
bers of the Municipal Council of a commune near
Dieppe wrote the following in his book :—Popula-
tion.—X., aged three months, no profession, un-
married ; Z., aged 8 days, do., do. Cattle.—Three
horses, two cows, one milk, calf born without a tail.
The weather is much improved, and seems more
settled.

RHYMNEY.

The report of the directors states that the expen-
diture on capital account during the half year end-
ing Dec. 31 amounted to £7,261. The incresse in
the receipts on revenue account was £2,466. After
providing for charges, tolls to the Taff Vale, deben-
ture and other interest, and preferential dividends,
there remained a balance of £2,881, out of which
the directors recommended that a dividend be de-
clared at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum on the
ordinary stock, leaving a balance of £25. The first
portion of the Aber branch had been opened for
mineral traffic, and coal was now forwarded over it
from the Hendredenny Colliery. The capital ac-
count showed that £532,007 had been expended,
leaving a balance against the company of £21,233.
The revenue account for the half year ending Dec.
31 showed that £31,363 bad been received and
£13,145 expended, leaving a balance of £18,218,
out of which interest on loans and preferenceshares,
rents, and tolls were deducted, leaving £2,881.

Commissioners of Sewers.

The Commissioners of Sewers of the City of
London met at the Guildhall on Tuesday, for the
despatch of public business. Mr. Deputy De Jersey
presided upon the occasion.

A considerable portion of time was occupied in
hearing summonses which had been taken out by
the officers of the Court against Mr. Baker, one of
the contractors, for various neglects in the removal
of dust from premises within his district. The con-
tractor was fined in the aggregate a sum of £l7 for
the neglects.

The City Remembrancer (Mr. Wm. Corrie) at-
tended before the Commissioners and laid before
them petitions which he had prepared, in accordance
with their instructions, for presentation to Parlia-
ment, in opposition to the Metropolital. Railway
(Additional Powers) Bill, and the London, Chat-
ham, and Dover Railway Bill.
The petitions were at once signed, and they were
ordered to be presented to Parliament in due form.
Mr. JOSEPH Daw, the principal clerk, read a re-
port from the Improvement Committee in refereflpF
to the Metropolitan District Railway Bill, upon
which subject a memorial was presented at the last
Court from the inhabitants of the ward of Tower,
complaining that the powers sought for in the bill
were unjust, and would, if sanctioned, operate op-
pressively upon a considerable number of occupiers
of property in Tower-street and the locality. The
committee stated that they had carefully considered
the provisions of the bill, and they recommended
the Court to present a petition to Parliament in op-
position to it, and they stated further that they had
requested the Remembrancer to assist the inhabi-
tants of the locality in their opposition to the bill as
far as he was able to do so.
London, England, 1866-02-16

SANATORY CONDITION OF THE CITY.

Dr. LETIIEBY, the medical officer of health, laid
before the Court the returns of the several inspec-
tors, which related to 230 houses visited during the
week, and he submitted a list of 24 places for sana-
tory improvements in various particulars. The
markets and slaughter-houses within the City, he
said, had been duly inspected, and the officers had
condemned 3,1561b5. of meat as unfit for human
food—it consisted of 5 sheep, 2 pigs, 4 calves, 26
quarters of beef, and 6 joints of meat—all of it
in a diseased condition, and had been destroyed.
Last week there had been 68 births and 42
deaths registered in the City. The mortality
returns were below the average (57) for
the corresponding period of the last 10 years ;
19 of the deaths were among children of less
than five years of age, and 8 only among persons of
60 and upwards.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—Having read in the evidence of Caseley, the
convict, in the trial of " Walker and Milner," ill
the Court of Queen's Bench yesterday, that Caseley
stated it was easier to open Tann's safe than
Milner's, in justice to myself I think that the
real facts should be made known to the public'
as they are likely to form an erroneous impres-
sion. Caseley and other parties convicted of the
Walker burglary used the same applianteer3
to open one of my safes, manufactured by me 1(7;
Mr. Johnson, :jeweller, Threadneedle-street, Pr'et
to that of Mr. Walker's, but without the slightes
success whatever.
If Caseley ever did open a safe with the name of
Tann attached to it, it must have been one of a sPiTe
rious class made in imitation of mine, and net
of my Reliance Patent, or made by me, there hele;
several makers of my name whose safes are net
tented. I have never heard of any of mine bellig
broken open.—Yours, &c., JOHN Tom'

THE ELECTION OF MEMBERS.

Mr. BEDFORD brought forward a motion, that a
special committee be appointed to consider the de-
sirability of altering the respective number of mem-
bers returned to this Court by the several wards of
the City, having regard to the number of freemen
occupiers and the rateable value of the property iu
each ward, and to report thereon to this Court.

To this motion there was an amendment by Mr.
E. Davis, " That after the word ward' the fol-
lowing words, ' and that such select committee do
extend their inquiries, with a view of effecting a
comprehensive reform of the Corporation.' "

A somewhat desultory discussion took place upon
the motion and the amendment, and in the result
the latter was declared to be negatived.
Mr. ANDERTON then moved as another amendment
the previous question, which upon a division taking
place, was declared to be carried, the numbers being
—For the amendment, 76 ; against it 26 ; majority
in favour of the amendment, 50.

THE GAS SUPPLY.

Dr. LETHEBY stated that the illuminating power
of the gas supplied to the City during the past week
had been in the case of each of the companies above
the requirements of the act of Parliament, but the
amount of sulphur in the gas had been at all times
excessive, the City Company's gas having contained
an average of 23.12 grains per 100 cubic feet, the
Chartered 26.09 grains, and the Great Central
23.49 grains.
The Court subsequently adjourned.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

Yesterday Admiral the lion. Sir Frederick Wm,

Grey, G.C.8., first sea lord, and Rear-Admiral E.
G. Fanshawe, members of the Board of Admiralty,
with Rear-Admiral Spencer Robinson, Controller
of the Navy, and other officials, visited Chatham
dockyard for the purpose of inspecting the iron-clad
frigate Bellerophon, which is now being rapidly
brought forward for sea, preparatory to her leaving
Chatham for Portsmouth. After transacting busi-
ness with Capt. W. H. Stewart, C. 8., the super-
intendent, and other heads of departments, their
lordships visited the screw steamer Reindeer, one
of the corvette class of vessels, and the only
wooden ship now building at Chatham, proceed-
ing afterwards to the Bellerophon, in No. 3 dock.
The chief interest was centred in the latter
vessel, on which all -the available hands not re-
quired for the other vessels are now employed, in
order that she may be out of hand by the earliest
possible date. During their tour of inspection their
lordships visited and minutely inspected the princi-
pal parts of the frigate. The principal work re-
maining to be accomplished on board Is chiefly in
the way of fittings, and this will detain her in dock
for some time beyond the 17th, the date originally
