MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS—YESTERDAY. demand for money continues brisk, and the rates in the open market show a tendency to ap proximate to those of the Bank, where business to day was to a fair fair extent. At Paris to-day the Three , per Cent. Rentes opened at 68.75, and closed at 68.60 for money,and 68.65 for the account, showing a fresh fall of about -1 4, per cent. since Saturday afternoon. The dividend on Caledonian Railway stock was officially announced to-day at the rate of five per cent. per annum, being the same as that declared for the corresponding period of 1861. The stock has not been affected in price. In connection with the rise in Spanish Certifi Cates to-day a change in the Madrid cabinet was hinted at by rumour. The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks will commence on Wednesday and terminate on Friday. There were no transactions in bullion at the Bank to•aay- In consequence of the revived demand for money for banking purposes, Exchequer-bills were sold to day at 20s, to 23s.—a decline of 2s. The Athenian has brought £11,200 in specie from Africa. The Mexican dollars by the last packet were sold to-day at 611 d. The Liverpool cotton market to-day was firm, but the sales were limited to 4,000 bales. The traffic receipts of the Dutch Rhenish Rail way for the fortnight ending July 15, 1862, amounted to £9,720 ss. 90., and for the corres- Ponding period of last year to £9,602 ss. lid., ?Jhovving an increase of £ll7 19s. 101-d. in favour of the present year. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY . TWELVE o'CLocK. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has been rather inactive. Sugars have slightly declined, but coffee, II ", and tea have maintained previous roes. Salt petre has been dull, and at almost nominal quota tions,_ The tallow market, however, has been more t i nialated, and prices have slightly advanced for both present and forward delivery. TheM . angerton, from Lisbon,has brought £1,453 speciein The remainder of the deposit, viz., £l, on the shares of the East India Irrigation and Canal Com- I j a°,7 will have to be paid on or before the 15th 1343 x inao. Th s re is an increase of £2.282 in the traffic re- Qe 'Pts of the South-Eastern Railway, and of £6l °LI th e Brighton, for the past week. A full inquiry is still reported in the general dis count market, and there is a large increase in the mI PPIy of bills on offer, with less inclination on the ,Part of capitalists engaging in such transactions to negotiate business on the current terms. This art sex from an impression that the rates will fur ther ascend, because specie is likely to be exported for foreign loans, while the absorption at home, on accou n t of the various projects lately introduced, is 4180 expected to produce an effect. The conse quence already has been an advance in the terms /lec ePted in the open market of fully Z- per cent., aid very little, if any, accommodation can now be Procured under the Bank of England minimum of 2 Per cent., so that the applications at that estab lishcaant are largely in excess of the recent average. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Eagli3h Steck Market opened this morning 'With rather a better appearance, but the tendency to buoyancy w'as not of long duration,—a few ntile i sufficing shortly afterwards to reproduce the i ndications of heavioess which have now charac teris'ed business in this department of the Stock xchange for several days.

BOW-STREET. dames Leander, who on Tuesday last was charged with violently assaulting George William Sharp, of 2, Emerita Villas, Dalston, in the Harp public-house, this morning surrendered according to the terms of his bail. Mr. Beard on this occasion appeared on behalf of Mr. Smith, and Mr. Pook for the defendant. The case was adjourned on the last occasion by Mr. Hall, the magistrate, in order that the medical man who attended Mr. Sharp might be present. Mr. Gordon was accordingly in attendance, and stated that Mr. Sharp had no doubt sustained an injury from the I effects of the blow given him by the defendant, and one of the arteries had been cut with the glass he held in his hand when he did so; but he thought it was a wound that might have been stopped without any very great difficulty, Mr. Pook said he had to ask for another remand, in order to have some witnesses in attendance, who objected to appear without being summoned for that purpose. The magistrate granted the summons applied for, and accordingly adjourned the case until this day week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF MURDER.—Charles Cotiere, furniture broker, of 42, Warren-street, Fitzroy-square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with causing the death of Elizabeth Carly, by throwing her down stairs on the Bth of August. Mr. Sleigh attended for the prosecution (instructed by Mr. Rent). Mr. Sleigh said he was instructed on behalf of the relative of the deceased to prosecute on the charge of murder. The prisoner had lived with the deceased for some years and had children by her. He kept a little shop, and she has received several hundred rounds under a legacy, but he had treated her in the most brutal manner at different times. On the evening of Friday last she went to a house of a friend of her's in great alarm and asked that person to accompany her home. The friend did so, and shortly after their arrival the prisoner arrived home, and called the friend frightful names. The prisoner afterwards rushed at the unfortunate deceased and threw her vio lently on the floor, and the friend fearing the consequences ran out of the house and made her way home, but a neigh bour hearing the cries of " Murder" went over anadndhettthred prisoner making use of violent l anuguage towards the de ceased, and saw him with his h an d up striking her, and heard him say, " Now, scream ag a i n if you can, " screams then ceased. The next morning the surgeon was called in, and the deceased found lying on the floor in a state of an of nudity, hour. and to all appearance h av i ng b een dead about Several witnesses having been examined, the prisoner was remanded by Mr. Tyrwhitt till Monday next. WESTMINSTER, This morning a man named Jobson, who had just come out of the House of Correction, where he had been confined for the publication of a libel, applied for warrants for perjury against Sir James Ferguson, Mr. Disraeli, and several other gentlemen, in order to have the wrong he had undergone redressed. The magistrate refused the applica• tion, and Jobson said he should apply to another magis trate. IRISH RACING Fl SEPTE SITURES FOR 1862. IMBER. Curragh Carlow.... Londonderry OCTOBER. _ Limerick.... Curragh NOVEMBER. Armagh •••• 6 LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY. HALF-YEARLY MEETING—(THIS DAY). The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this company was held this day at the London Tavern. J. N. DANIELL, Esq., chairman of the Board of Direct tors, presided. The report, which has already appeared in the Sun, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the docu ment, said he had much satisfaction in meeting the share holders, because the position of their affairs, he thought, would be looked upon as satisfactory. Comparing the ac counts with those for the corresponding six months of 1861 there was an increase of £4,760 ls. 2d. in the receipts, and a decrease of £570 19s. 6d. in the expenses, showing a total increase of £5,331 Os. Bd. in the net profits of the last half year, and the dividend the directors recommended was at the rate of ss. per cent. per annum more than in 1861, and was upon an increased capital of £247,350. The gross revenue for the half-year ending 30th June, 1862, had been £52,569 95., and the expenditure £20,458 Bs. 6d., leaving a profit of £32,111 Os. 6d. Although there was no very spe cial increase in the dividend, yet he thought, while nearly every other line had suffered from a falling off of their traffic, it was extremely gratifying to find that they had not experienced that depression, but on the contrary, their receipts had increased. The goods traffic which they had expected from the Midland and Great Northern had not come upon their line, but everything was ready to receive it, and it was looked upon as a circum stance that would greatly increase their receipts, Their financial position he looked upon as highly satisfactory, as the whole of their 41 per cent. preference guaranteed stock had been taken up, and 18,000 shares paid in full. He did not think he was called upon to notice the diminu tion of their expenditure, because whenever there was any very extensive repairs to be carried out those expenses must necessarily increase. They had fortunately not had any of those repairs to effect, and therefore there had been no large outlay. The oom pany had suffered a loss from the death of Mr. Joseph Wilson ; but it was proposed to fill up the vac tncy at the board by electing a gentleman will had a great stake in the company, viz., Mr. Haigh, who was in every way well calcu lated for the duties he would have to perform. He con cluded by moving the adoption of the report. The motion having been seconded, A PRoPRIETox urged the necessity of economy, and said he was certain the adoption of different coloured tickets for the up and the down journeys w,:uld greatly increase their weekly income, as it would prevent some parties travelling withoat paying their fares. The motion was then carried unanimously. A resolution declaring a dividend for the half year at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum was also agreed to. Re. , olutions, far consolidating into ordinary stock all those " New Shares, 1860," upon which the whole money subscribed have been paid up, and which have been con verted into preference shares, and for consolidating into preference stock all those shares which had been converted from New Shares, 1860, into preference shares, were also agreed to unanimously. A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the pro ceedings, OUR ITIERCHANT PAINCES. Most of our public writers who have discussed the origin, constitution, and history of the Corporation of London hays deplored the decline of civic dignitaries, and affirmed that the offices of Alderman and Chief Magistrate are not now, as formerly, filled by what are called merchant princes. We propose to have our say on this knotty question, but, in the meantime, we ask, What is a merchant prince? In Mr. W. S. Lindsay one, because his ships are on every sea, and be himself is a member of the Legislature? Was Mr. Duncan Dunbar a merchant prince ? Some will say "No,' to these queries, and attempt to define that which cannotbe defined. It is as difficult to say what are the constituents of a merchant prince as it is to settle the dispute as to who is entitled to be called an esquire. We repudiate as absura the dogma that one man is less dignified or less fit to fill an office of trust and position becaus e he sells candles, than another who negotiates the sale of tallow in the bulk. Such distinctions are unworthy of a great people; indeed they are without meaning in the period of advanced civilisation in which we live. Mr. Lindsay came to London with 4s. 6d. in his pocket, and manfully told his constituents of the fact, and yet he is now to all intents and purposes a merchant prince. The late Mr. Dunbar sold bottle beer, but he was at the same time a bank director, and the largest ship owner in the world. He would not have disdained to fill the office of Alderman if his avocations had brought him more in contact with civic matter. Are Mr. Alderman Salomons and Alderman Sir J. Duke merchant princes ? We believe that Mr. Alderman Finnis may be so denominated, and we know that Mr. Al derman Salomons, Alderman Sir Jas. Duke, and Alderman Copeland are members of the British Legislature, the two former being bankers, as are Mr. Alderman Mechi and Mr. Alderman Dakin. The late Sir Peter Laurie was governor of one of the largest and most successful joint-stock banks in the country, and Alderman Sir H. W. Carden is chairman of another. In the face of these facts, what becomes of the oft-repeated and unmeaning sneer that is attempted in the assertion that " the office of alderman has rarely been filled by men of intellectual mark ?" and of the equally sensible assertion that "the digni ty of the office has unquestionably been trifled with by th e Choice of retail trad era ?" "merchant prince" Will any sane man affirm that a —whatever may be understood by that extremely vague re and comprehensive term—could have been found to fleet more dignity upon the office of Lord Mayor than Mr. Alderman Cubitt ? We are persuaded that none will deny that, upon the whole, our City magistrates repre sent, and have for many years repres ented, the average intelligence, dignity, probity, and wealth of the trading community of the British metropolis; and We trust that the clap-trap about " merchant princes" will cease to have currency amongst us. A catastrophe, similar to that which occasioned such great havoc in Edinburgh some time ago, although on a smaller scale, and happily attended with less disastrous results, occurred in Sunderland on Saturday. T he roof o a cottage, in which there resided a sailor, n amed Briggs, and about half a dozen other persons, suddenly fell in with a heavy crash , immuring th gave way, and inmates in the ruins. By the strenuous exertions of teighbcurs the pri soners were released from their perilous situation, but all of them had received injuries of a mare or less serious, although, fortunately, not dangerous character. The build ing was in a very dilapidated condition, end more minute inspection of such places aprears to be loudly called for. We are enabled to state that the marriage of the Prince of Wales will take place some time next year. At the present moment, no positive arrangements have been made, and we are aware that nothing \All be positively ma de known in regard to the Princ e ' s c h oice until his re turn to ENgland from Germany. The p r obability is, that the Princess Alexandrina of Denmark will be the future Princess of Wales. The Princess Alexandrina is in her eighteenth year, having been born in December, 1944. She is the eldest daughter of his Ro y al- --gliness Christian, Prince of Denmark, who is the eon of the D u k e o f &hies wig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Gluksburg, successor to the throne of Denmark on the death of the present Frederick VII,--Court ATiq. "' arammim. M SOUTHWARK. John Davis, a labourer, was charged with a desperate assault on a female with whom he had been cohabiting. The wound inflicted being of a dangerous nature, the further hearing of the case was adjourned for a week. THAMES. A DISPUTED WILL.—Mrs. Ellen Making, a widow, was charged with stealing a writing desk and some casks. It appeared that two relatives had been in partnership, and that there was some di pute about the will. The de fendant thought she had a right to what she had taken. The magistrate told her she must settle her disputes about the will in another court, under the circumstances he t should discharge her. Z THE EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMPT TO EX7O.R7 MONEY. EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER, THIS DAY. Charles Reynolds, but whose real name is Davis, was placed at the bar of the Mansion-house, on remand, in the custody of Sergeant Green, a detective officer, before Mr. Alderman Humphrey, who was sitting for the Lord Mayor, charged with an attempt to extort money (.E500) by means of threats from Baron Rothschild. Mr. Wontnar, solicitor, appeared to conduct the pro secution. On being placed at the bar, the prisoner looked anxiously round the court, and asked if any solicitor attended for him, but no person answered. Mr. Wontner said, in asking the alderman to commit the prisoner for trial on the charge of attempting, by means of threats, to extort money, Sir Anthony Rothschild was no desirous to prosecute the prisoner from any vindictive motives, but simply f. :r the ends of justice; as far as was consistent with that view, he wished the prisoner to be mercifully dealt with. He then put in six letters received by Sir Anthony Rothschild, also the advertisements in the newspapers, and asked fur a committal. Mr. Goodman asked the prisoner whether he wished to see the letters. The prisoner replied no, but he admitted writing them. Sergeant Green, of the detective force, proved that he caused the insertion of three advertisements, which led to the capture of the prisoner. Major Snell, private secretary to Sir Anthony, proved the opening of the letters, and afterwards delivering them to Superintendent Hodgson. The prisoner here again admitted the writing of the letters. The waiter at the Post-office Coffee-house said the pri soner told her that some letters would come to him, ad dressed to a Mr. Johnston. The deposition taken on the last occasion, together with the six threatening letters, having been read, Mr. Goodman told the prisoner the charge against him was that of wilfully threatening to kill and murder Sir Anthony Rothschild. Alderman Humphrey asked what he had to say in answer to the charge. Prisoner—l've got nothing to say, only that I wrote the Letters. The Alderman then fully committed the prisoner for trial.

But they will first briefly advert to the events of the past year, whi c h it w ill be seen are not wholly devoid of interest, The surplus fund account exhibits the following particu lars, viz.:-- SURPLUS FUND ACCOUNT.

Here it wilt be seen that the total income of the year was £390,536 ss. 9d., and the total outlay £301,647 13s. 6d. ; leaving a difference on the year in favour of the company of £BB,BBB 12s. 3d. The premiums on account of new assurances are £24,374 18s. 5d., of which sum £6,219 10s. has been expended in re-assurances. The claims amount to £207,094 Bs. id., and are less than those of the previous year by upwards of £43,000. The ex penses are a b out £l,OOO more this year than they usually are, in consequence partly of the increased cost of the Company's new premises, and partly of the esti mated depreciation in the value of the lease and furniture. The Directors will now address themselves to the more important business of the meeting, and will call the atten tion of the proprietors to the following extract from the Report of the Actuary, which, after mature consideration, they have approved : " I have the honour to report that so much of the calcu lations as relates to the determination of the Company's assets and liabilities has been completed, and that the re sults ar as follow : " On making a most careful examination of the Company's registers, it appears that there were in force on 30th Jun e last, no less than 16,257 assurances of various descriptions-- that the amount assured by them was £9,639,222, and that the annual premiums receivable in respect of them amounted ;o £307,376.

WM. HENRY SMITH, jun., "From this statement it appears that the liability under all the Company's contracts is estimated at £4,694,81 0 145., and that after making provision for this sum, for the pro ; prietors' capital, and for other items, there remains a balance on the surplus fund account of £636,042 14s. 4d. This balance will, I consider, justify the division on the pre sent occasion of £158,650, leaving £477,392 14s. 4d. to accumulate in aid of future distributions. The proprietors' portion will admit of an additional dividend to them of 16 per cent., or 16s. per share , which, with the dividend now falling due, will make 21s. per share, payable to the m i n October as usual. The policy-holders' portion will afford a reversionary addition to the sums assured, ranged accord- ing to the age of the life assured, from 20 to 70 pe r cent, of the premiums paid since 1857. As soon as possible the amounts to be added in each case will be ascertained,at and the usual notices forwarded ; but some months must aeteni 2, i necessarily elapse before the whole can be d willir e c b t Directors 1 Such is the result of the Liborious invDeess.Pti I made into the company's affairs.

The question as to the payment of the gentlemen so to be elected the Directors leave in the hands of the meeting, and now bring their report to a close. The CHAIRMAN addressed the proprietors at some length, after which it was unanimously resolved that the report be a pproved and adopted; the acceptance of the transfer re ferred to therein sanctioned ; and power given to the beard to elect the two additional directors should such election be needful. Mr. Thomas Allen was re-elected an auditor of the Corn paw, and aortic other routine business having been disposed of, the meeting separated, after passing the usual votes of thanks to the Directors and officers.

P ROCLAMATION OF GA RIBALDI IN SICILY. The following was the proclamation addressed by Garibaldi to the Sicilians before retiring ;into the wood of Ficuzza with his volunteers : Palermitans,—Europe, the entire world, has de clared its opinion on the Roman question against the unjustifiable occupation of the Italian capital. This is a sacred t rut h . You, initiatorF3 of the Italian resurrection, and the principal actors in that grand work, have felt the shame which weighs upon the nation and are preparing to remove it. The penin sula worthily responds to your call, and those who desire the peace of the world ought to yield to the legitimate will of twenty-five millions of Italians. You are exasperated at the measures taken by the government, which has now added to your indig nation by recalling the man who had justly merited your affection. Yes, the recall of the Marquis Pal larieino is a fresh imprudence. Grieved at the loss of this veteran, this martyr of liberty, you ought to overlook the errors of those who are the cause of his. recal. These men will pass away, but the principles of Italian nationality are imperishable: It is in the name of those principles that you have suffered so much, and you have proclaimed them in an indelible manner, after twenty ages of hopes and disappoint ments. We are strong—we ought also to be calm and dignified. I must go far away, but I hope only for a short time. Near as well as distant, my heart is with you. Our programme is that which have shouted together upon your splendid barri cades—" Italy and Victor Emmanuel." With this programme, we will go to Venice and Rome. Fez tune will smile once more on these young veterans of Italian liberty sprung, like Pallae,, from your bosom armed at all points. I reckon on you as the pedestal of our future, as the base of our operations, upon which my gallant volunteers are going to labour in the great work of the deliverance of the slaves.—Yours for life, Palermo, July 31, G. GARIBALDI.. ANOTHER CASE OF PLUNDERING &V EMIGRANT. (From the Liverpool Mercury.) Another heartless robbery of anem l Prant, similar in its details to that of the young marl from Galway, the particulars of which were befor e the public some time ago, took place at this pork, on Saturday week. The victim in this case is a, young Englishman,named Richard James, and his plunderers are two of the many fellows who prowl about the docks for the purpose of fleecing migrants. The amount of money obtained was illO i'd sovereigns. James, being about to proceed to MC;bourne, went to the dock in which the Champion of the Seas was lying for the purpose of looking at the ship, as he contemplated taking a passage it her. At the dock he was met by a man who introduced himself by asking him if he was about to emigrate. On being told that he was, and on learning the place of his destination, the fellow affected to be much gratified,saying that he also was " going out," as he bad a wife and two children at Melbourne, and he and his newly-made acquaint ance would be companions on the voyage, and seek their fortunes together. They proceeded to a neigh bouring public house, where they drank to each other's and their mutual prosperity. On leaving this house they were joined by another man, a I "particular friend" of the one who had first pre sented himself ; and he, after being introduced as a fellow-voyager, joined their company. As in the case of the " Galway Grecian," a walk through the cemetery was proposed, after leaving which place the conversation turned upon the caution necessary to be taken with their finances before starting on the voyage. The man who had first introduced him self to James said he and his friend had provided themselve s with a peculiar sort of purse in which to keep their money safe. He was desirous that their newly-made friend should have ore, and accord ingly made him a present of one, putting in it " a sovereign for luck." Another drink was then pro posed, and they went together into a public hous e in Copperas•hill. here the man who had first pre sented himself said if James would give him his money he would show hi m h ow t o " stow" i t in the purse, J ames foolishly handed over to him 110 sor-Jreigns, which the fellow assumed to put into the purse, and then returned it to James. They le, r it the house and parted company, with the under standing th a t th e y wou ld mee t on th e following day. O n exam i n i ng t h e purse J ames f oun di n place of his sovereigns 110 "Jacks,"not worth so many farthiegs. The police were applied to, and detec tive Smith put in char ge o f th e case . From infor mation that officer received he apprehended the F fel -1 on low who first accosted James inManchester day. He is a returned ooy a convict. fe The w po other uu scoundrel ds o of th the is not yet in custody. money have been recovered. 1 MARKETS---THIS DAY.

In • stead of the coloured oil-lamps hitherto used, the munici pal administration has determined to make trial of a new mode of gas illumination. In the Place de la Concorde the usual gas lamps will be replaced by bouquets formed of un polished glass globes. The v ases o f t h e fountains w ill also b e s urrounded with gas lights.

The total number of lights will not be less than 122,000." ENGLISH OFFICERS IN THE CHINESE SERTICE.— The official correspondence has been published concerning permission to officers and men in her Majesty's service to take employment under the Chinese Government, for the purpose of re-establishing Imperial authority upon the Yang-tze and commerc ial security upon the inner waters. and for the suppression of p iracy. The organisation of such a force having been intrusted to Mr. Lay, the Inspector- General of Chinese Customs, he applied for the sanction of her Majesty's Government. It appeared that th ere : s no l onger any ordinance in op erat ion enjoining neutrality upon the Queen's subjecte, and the Admiralty consented to grant , leave of absence to . any officers wh ose services may no t be req uired. Permisst n Was accordingly given to Captain Sherard Osborn and Mr. Lay to accept service under the Chinese Government ; and the Queen's licence was obtained and is to be granted to such other officers as Captain Osborn may select. Mr. Lay's application was also for leave to enlist British subjects to serve in naval and military opera tions, but this Would require an Order in Council.
