CORN.

Tho weather continuing extremely fine, the harvest is
everywhere making rapid progress, and this, with the
good condition and quality of the new wheat now coming
to market, has a very marked effect upon the trade, buyers
acting with renewed caution, and prices recede.
At Mark-lane this morning there was a good show of
new wheat; both as regards quantity and quality, and
from the rates of this day week the price gave way ss.
per quarter. This, however, still leaves the rates of new
wheats above their relative level. Old wheats did not at-
tract much attention, and were about 33 lower to sell.
Foreign wheat, of which there was a fair arrival was
purchaseable at 3s decline on the week, and buyers were
not induced to extend operations at the reduced rate..
Flour very unsettled and lower, but difficult to quote
with certainty.

Grinding barley was in moderate request, and tolerably
steady in price; malting quite nominal.
Beans and peas moved off in retail at about late rates.
Oats—the turn in sellers favours, with moderate supply.
Linseed dull. Rapeseed lower.

EAST LONDON RAILWAY.--
ISSUE OF DEBENTURES.

The EAST LONDON RAILWAY COMPANY are
prepared to RECEIVE SUBSCRIPTIONS for DEBEN-
TURES to be issued as a mortgage on the undertaking,
under the power given to the Company by its Act of In-
corporation to borrow £166,606 against its Share Capital
of £1,400,000, the whole of which has been issued and
registered, and of which more than £1,000,000 has been
paid up.
The Debentures will be issued at par, for a term of two
years—and will bear interest from th 3 date of issue at £6
per cent. per annum, payable by Coupon half yearly, at
the Loudon and Westminster Bank—and will be trans-
ferable by indorsement without stamp.
In order to secure the punctual payment of the interest
during the currency of the Debentures, the Company will
set apart a sum equal to two years' interest, to be invested
in Consols in the names of Trustees.

Three miles of the line, from the New-cross Junction
with the Brighton Line to Wapping (where it is proposed
to open a first section), are rapidly approaching comple-
tion; and with the aid of the loan capital proposed to be
raised the Directors expect to open the Railway to White-
chapel by the time the Debentures fall due.
Applications for the Debentures, in amounts of £5O, or
in multiples of that amount, upon the subjoined form, will
be received at the Company's Offices, 3, Great Winchester-
street-bnildings, E.J., where Prospectuses and Forms of

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a heavy supply of stock to-day, the cooler
weather on Thursday and Friday having no doubt caused
graziers to anticipate a bettor sale t)-day, and which the
scarcity of water and feed rendered them only too ready to
meet. The result, however, has been disappointing, as
the retur❑ of hot weather has again checked the trado,
and this morning the tone was again that of depression.
Of boasts there were 5,190, including 3,175 English fed,
25 Scotch, and the remainder foreign. Really prime beef
was not plentiful, and brought old late rates, some vory
choice 2d more. Inferior sorts sold very heavily and
cheaper.

Of sheep and lambs there were 31,510. Prime qualities
of both forming a small proportion, maintained their value,
but the general trade was dull, and rates favoured buyers.
Of calves 248 were on sale, and sold at advanced prices.
Pork unaltered. 260 pigs at previous market quotations.

Almost simultaneously with the dissolution of
our own Parliament, conies the news that the mem-
bers of Congress ar preparing to rest awhile from
their labours. This very (lay Congress adjourns,
and the several leaders of the antagonistic parties
mast employ their leisure in marshalling their
forces out of doors. There is another point of simi-

cess. Neither is likely to be devoted to a rest from
the strife of politics, for while in London we

KILLED BY A PLEASURE VAI4,

At the Brentford Police-court, on Saturday, William
:look, the son of an extensive proprietor of pleasure-vans
it Kentish-town, was placed before the bench on remand,
:barged with feloniously killing and slaying one Robert
gackett, aged 75, whilst in the lawful pursuit of his
!ailing. The deceased was an army pensioner and a
icensed hawker. His wife said that he left home on
Saturday, the 18th inst., when he was in his usual health,
Lnd did not complain of any ailment. Knowing that several
pleasure parties would pass through Brentford, he went
mat with his barrow laden with articles of confectionery,
William Hughes said he :was constable of the parish,
►ad on Saturday morning, the 18th inst., he was standing
it the door of his residence, in High-street, Brentford
Old Town, witnessing the arrival of a great number of
pleasure-vans, some of which had bands of music
playing. The prisoner Cook was driving the last van
in the procession, and ho noticed that he made two or
three attempts to get in front of the other vehicles. He
mw the deceased in the road, and that if Cock attempted

to pass in that narrow part he would kill him. He held
up his arms and told him to stop, but it was no use, and
prisoner urged on his horses. Witness found the poor
)1(1 fellow under the pleasure-van. He was bleeding
end apparently dead. He found one of the horses down
end one of the leaders on the pavement. He assisted in
removing the man, and then took the driver into custody.
[n answer to questions the officer stated that it was highly
improper for the prisoner to attempt to pass the other
vans in such a narrow part of the road. Several of the
passengers attempted to prove that it was the noise
caused by the playing of the band that made the horses
restive, and having lost all control over them they
iiverged from the line they had taken, and hence the
mischief. This, however, was contradicted by other wit-
nesses, and the prisoner was committed to the Old Bailey
xi the charge of manslaughter.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STABBING A WlFE.—Richard Salter, a frame-
maker, living at 43, Dudley-street, Seven-dials,
was charged.before Tyrwhitt with stabbing his wife,
Johannah Salter.

The injured woman was not in attendance, and
the following certificate was handed to Mr.
Tyrwhitt
" I hereby certify that Johannah Salter is suf-
fering from a stab in the left arm, and is in a very
dangerous state from the loss of blood.

"J. R. TURNER, House Surgeon.

"Charing-cross, Hospital, July 26."
Police-constable Ralph Goften, 110 F, said he
was on duty near the Charing-cross Hospital last
night shortly before 12 o'clock, when the house
surgeon of the hospital called his attention to a
woman named Sitten who had been brought to the
hospital suffering from a stab in the arm. He went
to No. 143, Dudley-street, and saw the prisoner,
the husband of the injured woman, and told
him that from what he had been informed
he should charge him with stabbing his
wife, who was then in the Charing-cross
Hospital. The prisoner said it was a bad job,
and that it was done in the height of passion. He
then took the prisoner to the station. The pri-
soner's brother-in-law, who took the injured woman
to the Hospital, gave him the knife with which the
wound was inflicted.

Win. Flinn, of No. 43, Dudley-street, 'said that
while at supper the prisoner's wife irritated the
prisoner, and, having been drinking, his temper got
the betterof him, and he used a knife. The prisoner
was a good husband, and had always been kind to
his wife. He (witness) gave a knife to the con-
stable, but could not say that was the one the stab
was given with.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should remand the prisoner
for a week to see how the wife got on, as the cer-
tificate handed to him gave a very bad account
of her.

LORD CLARENDON ON EDUCATIO H

On Saturday the Earl of Clarendon, K.G., distribntea
the prizes at the Leamington College. Sir R. N. C.
Hamilton, Bart. (in the absence of Lord Leigh, the lord-
lieutenant) presided, and a large number of the ladies and
gentlemen of the town and county attended.
The Earl of CLAIM:MON, in the course of his speecu,
expressed a hope that the day would always live in the
memories of the boys who had received prizes, and
would stimulate them to renewed efforts, remembering
that without continuous labour nothing great and
nothing good is ever achieved. The Almighty had given
to man his intellect, as He had the land, but with the
condition that we must first labour with the sweat of our
brow, and plough and till before we are permitted to
gather in the harvest. We must also remember that the
richest soils were capable of producing the rankest weeds,
while, on the other hand, a soil, however poor, might, by
labour and skill, and by those appliances which went to
meet its deficiencies, be rendered abundantly productive.
So the boy born with brilliant natural talents who
neglected to cultivate them and to turn them to the best
account, might become utterly worthless, and, as we
had too often seen, the sharpness of his intellect might
promote the refinement of his vice ; while a boy of more
humble abilities, who with perseverance applied himself
to those things for which he was apt—and we all bad
some special aptitude if we would seek it out—might
rise to the foremost ranks in the great race of life.
There never was a time in which education was more a
matter of national importance than at present, or when
knowledge should be more sought for, trusted in, and
cherished by the lower classes in order that they might
in their separate walks of life advance more rapidly
than they had hitherto done, and be prepared to meet
the world-wide competition which they must now face,
and also in order that they might wisely use for their
own and their country's good the political power of which
they had now become the possessors. For the upper
classes knowledge was more than ever needed, in
order that they might retain the influence of mind
over mind, which was the only influence that could
henceforth be safely trusted and willingly respected.
Let no one say that the young men before him
should be discouraged. Let them remember what had
been so well said by the great and original thinker, Mr.
Mill—that he who uses his opportunities well often finds
that he can create them, and that it is not so much the
amount of time we can dispose of as the use we
make of it. They might not, in after life,
meet with all the encouragement to which they
might think themselves entitled, and they might
not succeed in all the objects at which they aimed ; but if
they steadily proceeded in an onward course, and in that
which they believed to be the right, if they had struggled
manfully to succeed, they would not have hid their talent
in a napkin, and, above all, they would have the unspeak-
able comfort of an approving conscience.

THE PISTON FREEZING MACHINE (Ash's
Patent), is used in almost every household and known in
all parts of the world. By the Piston process ice creams are
frozen in shapes in a few minutes, an operation never before ac-
complished, entirely superseding ice pots and moulds. The ma-
chine also forms a wine cooler, and produces blocks of ice,
When rough ice cannot be obtained, Ash's celebrated freezing
powders are guaranteed to succeed Price from 50s. Mr. Ash's

CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—James Stamford, a
greengrocer, living in St. James's-mews, St. John's-
wood, was charged, before Mr. Knox, by the Royal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
with cruelty to a horse, by working it while in an
unfit state.

Inspector Temperley, of the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
while in Regent-street, had his attention called
to the prisoner, who was driving a horse
attached to a spring cart containing vege-
tables. The horse was very lame of three feet, and
seemed much distressed, and on the officer examin-
ing it he found it was suffering from extensive
disease of one of the hind feet, the hoof eaten
through with disease, and both fore feet were dis-
eased and full of inflammation. The prisoner said
the horse, which was very old and quite unfit for
work, belonged to his brother, and that it had been
an old coach horse, and that his brother had talked
of having it killed. _ _

The prisoner said he was willing to have the horse
killed, and went with the officer for that purpose.
Mr. Knox discharged the prisober on that under-
standing.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

A Court of Common Council was held yesterday
at Guildhall, at which the Lord Mayor (Alderman
Allen) presided.

THE ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN.

The LORD MAYOR formally communicated to
the Court that he had attended upon her Majesty
to present the address of the Corporation in refer-
ence to the attempt to assassinate the Duke of
Edinburgh, and that the Queen had been pleased
to receive the same in the most gracious manner.
He added that the Town Clerk would read the
answer to the Address.

The TOWN CLERK (Mr. Woodthorpe) accord-
ingly read the answer given by her Majesty upon
the occasion, which has already appeared.
The LORD MAYOR then said that when her Ma-
jesty presented her hand to be kissed she said to
him, " I feel very grateful to you for your kind
sympathy."—(Bear, hear.)
The answer of her Majesty was then ordered to
be recorded on the minutes and journals of the
Court.

TIIE PEABODY STATUE.

Mr. J. SYMONDS brought up a report from the
City Lands Committee on the petition of the Com-
mittee of the Peabody Statue Fund, recommending
that the sanction of the Corporation should be given
to the proposed statue being erected upon a part of
the site of the churchyard of St. Bonet Fink.
Mr. RIGBY said he should like to call attention to
the way Mr. Peabody's gift was being applied. It
was well known that some buildings had been
erected, one of which was tolerably full, another
half full, and a third nearly empty ; and it was- a
matter of surprise that the trustees should keep these
dwellings so sparsely occupied as he mentioned:
Surely the intention of the donor would be better
met by drawing a less percentage on the outlay and
having them better filled. There were two of the
buildings especially, situated in the poorest neigh-
bourhoods, where there were thousands that would
be glad of their shelter and accommodation, but
the people could not pay the rents that were
asked. Under these circumstances, he hoped that
attention would be called to this matter ; and he
ventured to hope that the munificent gift to the City
would be better carried out in the future than it had
been hitherto.
Mr. SYMONDS said his hon. friend would perceive
that his observations had no reference to the ques-
tion before the Court ; and he need scarcely say
that the City Lands Committee had no control over
the funds referred to.
The report was then agreed to unanimously.
THE BUSINESS OF THE COURT.

Mr. 11. L. lIAMMACK moved a resolution to the
effect—" That inasmuch as important matter, which
in some cases had been on the paper of business so
far back as October, 1867, had not yet come under
consideration, and it was evident that unless some
alteration in the mode of the proceedings of the
Court took place its proceedings could not be at-
tended to with proper promptitude and care, it was
desirable that the meetings of the Court be con-
vened for, and the chair taken at, two o'clock in the
afternoon, and that the Court continue its sitting,
unless previously adjourned by resolution, until
eight o'clock."
Mr. Deputy DE JERSEY (in the absence of Mr.
Nl`George) moved as an amendment that it be re-
ferred to the General Purposes Committee to con-
sider whether any arrangement could be made to
facilitate the business of the Court; and also to con-
sider the various standing orders and resolutions of
the Court which regulated the present arrangement
of business, reporting generally thereon, with such
suggestions as might appear desirable.
After a brief discussion the original motion was
withdrawn in favour of the amendment, which was
then carried, the Lord Mayor remarking that it
would be most inconvenient for him to sit from two
to eight, and that he could not consent to such an
arrangement.
