Parktti-I ad gaff$. MONEY MARKET—MONDAY. In the Discount Market to-day there were again the same features which obtained for the last few days, money being in moderately fair demand, the supply in the open market diminished, and the rates 31 i per cent. The business at the Bank is limited, and the discount outside being in some cases the same as the minimum, there is little prospect of the directors making any reduc- tion in the Bank rate. MARK LANE, August 18. There were heavy arrivals of foreign Wheat and Oats last week, with a fair supply of barrel Flour. English Wheat 2,199 qrs, Scotch 200 qrs.. foreign 49,994 qrs. Exports 2,635 qrs. No fresh samples of old English Wheat were showing this morning, and very few new, from the highest rates paid in the country. The little business done was at full prices. The foreign trade was exceedingly firm, Is. advance on red being freely paid, and fully 2s. on white samples, especially Cali- foroian and Australian. Country Flour 13,411 sacks, foreign 835 sacks 16,730 barrels. Exports 4,695 cwts. These was a moderate demand for country sorts, at Is. per sack more money and 6d. to Is. higher must be noted on good sacks and barrels of foreign. English Barley 50 qrs., Irish 767 qrs., foreign 8,361 qrs. Prices were steady, with a fair demand for grinding sorts. No quantity of new has yet appeared. The Malt trade was firm for the best samples, such being scarce. Exports 135 qrs. Maize 5,300 qrs. This grain was fully Is. per qr. dearer, and still more for small sound parcels. Exports 1,000 qrs. English Oats 245 qrs., foreign 64,301 qrs. Exports 1,400 qrs. With liberal supplies continued the trade was less active than on Friday, but there was an advance of 6d. generally established on Monday's rates. English Beuns 280 qrs., foreign 800 qrs. All sorts were firm, with a fair inquiry. English Peas 142 qrs., foreign 2,908 qrs. The trade was fully as dear. The few new Maples and Duns exhi- bited were fine.

With shorter supplies offering, a more nominated tone has prevailed in the Cattle trade, and prices have had a hardening tendency. From our own grazing districts a moderate number of Beasts has come to hand, but there has been a marked scarcity of choice breeds. The trade has been steady, and the best Scots have been firm in value. The top price has been 6s. 2d. to 6s. 4d. per 81bs. From Lincolnshire we have received about 160; from Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, &c., about 1,500 from Lincoln about 160; and from other parts of England about 250. Although the supply of foreign has been less than on Monday last, it is still a good average. From Tcnning about 1,627 head has come to hand, and there have also been about 300 Spanish, and about 150 Du'ch. As on the English side, the demand has been firmer for the best breeds at full pi ices. The supply of Sheep has been moderate, but not equal to Monday last. The inquiry has been more active, and prices have been well maintained. The best Downs and half-breds have made 6s. 2d. to 6s. 4d. per 8 lbs. Lambs have changed hands at 6s. 6d. to 7s. 6d. per 8 lbs. Prime small Calves have been in fair request at full prices, otherwise the market has been quiet. Pigs have been disposed of at late rates. Per 8 lbs. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

No samples of new Cloverseeds yet appear, and prices of old are without any quotable variation. New Trifo- lium maintains the recent advance steadily, with a fair demand. The best new Trefoil was held with more firmness, at very full prices. White Mustardseed sold in small lots on former terms. There is nothing passing in brown for want of supply. New winter Tares can be obtained at 6s. 6d. to 7s. per bushel for the best qualities. Foreign Canaryseed was less active in demand, but prices unvaried.

As an instance of the wonderful effect of steamboat competition in the way of reducing fares, it may be men- tioiu d that the steamer the Marquis of Lorne now carries 1 asnng -'is to Rothsay from Glasgow, 45 miles, for the sum f 3d. Mr. Bruce has issued his farewell address to the elec- tors of the county of Renfrew. Sensible of his shortcom- ings as a member, he trusts that nothing done, or omit- ted to be done, either by the Ministry or by himself, has tended in the slightest degree to weaken or divide the Liberal party in Renfrewshire. The story Miss Braddon is writing for a coterie of pro- vincial papers, in which it is to appear simultaneously will be entitled Taken at the Flood." Arrangements are made for its concurrent publication in France, Germany Australia, and America. The Hon. and Rev. E. Y. Bligh, Yicar of Birling, writes to the Guardian contending that bishops as spiritual peers are a failure, and that the best interests of the Church and of Chuch and State would be best served by the abolitiion of the greater number of the spiritual peerages. It is generally believed in official circles that Mr. Lowe will shortly throw open to public competition all clerk- ships in the Home Office, inspectorships of factories, md several other appointments of considerable value, which have hitherto been disposed of under the patron- age system. On Saturday morning, Laurence Smith was executed in Cavan Gaol, Dublin, for the brutal agrarian murder of Patrick Lynch. Prisoner was fully resigned, and ex- pressed himself as not willing to live. The most revolting In scene took place; the hangman allowed the rope to be too long, and when the unfortunate man fell, his feet touched the ground. He remained writhing in agony some seconds the rope was then pulled up, and after a desperate struggle he ceased to exist. We have been frequently asked if the jurymen in the present Tichborne trial receive pay for their services. We have consequently made inquiries on the subject, and find that the jurymen receive each a guinea a day. They expected more, we are told but at the late adjournment of the trial, when it had proceeded 50 days, they were each paid 50 guineas for their attendance.-Birmingham PnJlt. Mr. Gladstone, we understand, has been advised on high legal authority that his assumption of the Chancel. lorship of the Exchequer does not vacate his seat for Greenwich. Under these circumstances no notification of his acceptance of the office will be made to the Speaker and therefore, even supposing, which there is absolutely no reason to believe, that the Speaker should hold a con. trary opinion to that of the authorities consulted, no ac. tion can be taken, or writ issued, till after the meeting of Parliament. The expenditure on witnesses before the SelectlCom- mittee of the House of Commons on the Coal Supply of the United Kingdom amounted to £241. This was di. vided over 27 witnesses, the highest sum paid being £ 15 5s. and the lowest £ 4 4s.—the rate of payment being a guinea a day, with expenses of journey to London and back added. 17 witnesses, who were either Government officials resident in London, or owners of collieries in Eng. land and Scotland, received no fee. A painful case of adverse fortune has come to light in the Police-court at Birkenhead. A person found sleep- ing in a field, and charged with vagrancy, was discovered on enquiry to be an ex-rector. His own account of him- self was that he had held various appointments in the Church, and at one time possessed a considerable sum of money. Having lost this in mining speculations, he went abroad for a time. On his return to England he had not the credentials requisite to obtain the licence to preach, and not finding other means of livelihood he gradually sunk into utter destitution. The charge of vagrancy was dismissed. A strike of a novel character is said to have taken place at Builth, a little Welsh watering-place. The visitors there, finding that the tradespeople were endeavouring to enrich themselves at their expence by advancing the price of almost everything, resolved to make a dead stand against it. They accordingly held an open-air indigna- tion meeting, at which, we learn, upwards of 400 ladies and gentlemen were present. No sooner were the pro- ceedings begun than several ladies waxed eloquent upon the extortions of the shop-keeper and the hotel-keeper. Unfortunately, owing to the indignant matrons all speak- ing at once, some little confusion arose but at length the chairman restored order, and one after another was heard, and made up a huge bill of indictment against the peccant trades-people. It was fiercely resolved that un- less butter was lowered nearly 50 per cent., and ham brought down considerably, the meeting would wholly abstain from the use of these comestibles. The upshot of the gathering was that a committee was formed to wait upon the tradespeople, and try and make them promise better behaviour for the future. We have not heard the result of the interview; but we should opine that if the shopkeepers proved obdurate, they will soon have the town to themselves. Mr. Osborne Morgan, M.P., laid the memorial stone of a new English Baptist Chapel at Cefn, near Ruabon, on Monday. He told his audience that, having lived in Wales from his childhood, he could bear testimony to the noble work which had been done by their ministers in Wales and he could assure them that. although he was a member of the Church of England, he felt far more sympathy-he said it unfeignedly-with the broad healthy Christianity which was preached in the pulpits of Non- conformists than the miserable mixture of maudlin sentimentalism and effete formularism, which was Roman Catholicism in everything but name, but without the courage to proclaim itself to be Roman Catholicism, and which aped the poorest feature of Roman Catholic religion, from auricular confession to ecclesiastical millinery. He could unreservedly say there was more Christian life in a humble building such as that which would soon spring up on that site than there was in all the tawdry ornaments of mediffival Ritualism, which, he was sorry to say, found such favour among a very large body in his own Church. He looked back with pride and satisfaction on the fact of his having, whilst he had been their representative in Parliament, been able to pass one measure to facilitate the erection of such buildings as that chapel. A shocking murder was perpetrated at Arlingham, a village about twelve miles from Gloucester, on Sunday evening. It appears that a young farmer named Butt had been paying his addresses to Miss Phipps, but was not favourably received. On Sunday evening they were talking on the lawn in front of the house occupied by the young lady's brother, when Butt threatened to stab her. Miss Phipps acquainted a farmer named Merrett with the threat, and he remonstrated with the young man respect- ing his conduct. Shortly afterwards, Merrett heard the report of a gun, and on going up to the lawn he foutd Miss Phipps lying on the grass in an insensible condition, the lower portion of her face having been completely shot away. She was carried into the house, and died almost immediately. Butt was seen to leap over a wall and run in the direction of the Severn, and as he has not since been seen or heard of it is supposed that be baa oom. roitted suioide.
