NONEY - MARKET ANT, COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENOE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. No alteration has been made this morning in the Bank of England rate of discount, A reduction of per cent. was generally expected, although it was known that the expenditure of the country for agricultural purposes was large, and that the coin Withdrawn on this account would somewhat the bullion reserves. The rate out of doors remains at 3a and 34 per cent. for the best bills. Messrs. J. and Henry Schroder, agents for the 1 3 1. of Havana and Mantanzas Railroad, have invited subscriptions for a loan of £400,000, in ?ends of £lOO each, to be issued at £9O, and bear ing interest at 7 per cent. The money is required for the purchase of the Coliseo Railroad, which runs fr c'in Matanzas to Bemba, a distance of 35 miles, and forms a direct junction with the Havana and Matanzas Railroad. The new line is mortgaged for the due payment of the interest and the opera tion for the sinking fund. The Havana and Matanzas Company also hypothecate their line, Which, however, has some prior claims. The directors of the Mauritius Land Credit and A gency Company have issued their report for pre sentation at the half-yearly meeting of the share holders. It appears that a net profit of £3,502 has b een made, and it is recommended to declare a dividend of 10 per cent., free of income-tax, and e4 ITY £471 to the credit of preliminary expenses.

OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES.—Thos. Edward Jovett, described as an agent, of No. 7, James-street, Covent-garden, was brought before Mr. Knox on a warrant, by Dawson, 301 A, charged with obtaining furniture of the value of £l6 10s. from Mr. John Nash, upholsterer, of No. 37, Prince's-street, Leicester-square, by false and fraudulent pretences, with intent to defraud him of the same. Mr. Edward Dillon Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prosecution, said the prisoner was charged with obtaining goods from Nash by false and fraudulent pretences—the false pretences being twofold—the first re presentation made by the prisoner being that he was solo agent to Mr. Thompson, of the Amber Mustard Mills, Derby, and the second that ke had been recommended to Mr. Nash by one of Mr. Nash's customers, both of which representations were entirely without founda tion. As the prisoner was only taken into custody last night, ho was not prepared with all the witnesses, and would therefore have to ask for a short remand. Mr. Nash said that on the 14th of August the prisoner called upon him, and, presenting a card, said he was the solo agent to Mr. Thompson, of the mustard mills, Derby ; that the agency produced him £5OO a _year, and he hoped shortly it would amount to £l,OOO. He also stated that he had been recommended by Mr. Deeesares, of Bermond sey, that person being ono of his (Mr. Nash's) customers• He supplied the prisoner with furniture to the amount of £l6 10s., consisting of a mahogany desk, table, and other articles, parting with the goods on the faith of the pri soner's representations that he was the agent to the Mus tard Mills, and recommended by Mr. Decesares, and hav ing since ascertained that the representations were untrue, he applied for a warrant. Henry Dawson, 301 A, proved taking the prisoner into custody in a publichouse near Covent-Garden. On telling him the charge, he said he never intended to deprive Mr. Nash of his property, and he afterwards asked Mr. Nash to forego the prosecution, and said he would find the things where they were sent to, in Villiers-street. In answer to Mr. Knox, Dawson said the goods were in Villiers-street. There was also a case against the prisoner for obtaining goods from Messrs. Hampton and Russell, upholsterers, Leicester-square. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, and refused to admit him to bail. THAMES. No FINES FOR ASSAULTS ON THE POLICE.—David Parish, a tall and strong man, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting James Dix, a police-constable, No. 129 H. This morning at an early hour the prisoner was drunk and disorderly in Great Alie-street, Whitechapel. The constable requested the prisoner to move on, which he refused to do, and the policeman repeated his request. The prisoner made use of foul language, and the policeman put his hand upon him, and was immediately struck by the prisoner on the head. The blow was described by a wit ness named Sutton as a very full one, and Dix and Parish both fell. The prisoner said ho was carman to a horse-slaughterer, and went into the country yesterday for a horse. He got rather too much drink. Mr. Paget—Yes. Nearly all the offences committed are under the influence of strong drinks. You are sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment and hard labour. The Prisoner—Pray, sir, make it a fine, and I wil: pay it. . _ Mr. Paget—No, certainly. I never inflict fines for violent assaults on the police. Tho constables have diffi cult duties to perform, and when they have been in the right and violence is committed I have always ordered imprisonment without the option of paying fines. The Prisoner—l shall lose my situation if lam sent to prison. Mr. Paget—l will not alter my sentence. _ DARING ROBBERY ON BOARD SHlP.—Henry Glover, a man about 25 years of age, was brought before Dlr. Paget, charged with stealing a silver watch. Hans Berg said he was master of a Norwegian ship. At seven o'clock this morning he was lying down in his berth in the cabin and saw a hand come over his head and take his watch, to which a gold chain was attached. He thought it was the steward of the vessel who wanted to know the time of day, and took no notico at first, but on turning round and seeing a man with a grey coat on who was not one of his crew leaving the cabin, he jumped out of hod, called out " Stop thief," and ascended to the deck. He saw the prisoner running and get over the rail of the ship on to another, and from there to the quay. The mate of the ship followed him, seized him, and brought him back. The prisoner got away from the mate, but was caught again. The prisoner struggled, and his grey coat was torn right off. The mate of the Norwegian confirmed the latter part of the captain's statement. Richard Smith, a constable, said the prisoner was a thief, and was brought to him at the import gate of the West India Dock. Mr. Paget—What has become of the watch and gold chain ? Captain Berg—The watch and chain were thrown into the dock. Tho prisoner said be was innocent, ho would take his Bible oath of it. Police-sergeant Briden, 4 K, said the prisoner had been convicted. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial. MARKETS—This Day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The supply of English beasts on sale at our markets to day was limited ; but that of foreign was tolerably large. The trade for good and prime beasts ruled firm, at fully late rates, the top price being 5s 6d per 81bs ; otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at barely late rates. The market was fairly supplied with sheep, for which the trade ruled quiet, but at quite previous quotations. The general top figure was Gs. Bd. per Sibs. Calves were a fair demand, at Monday's currency. The pork trade was steady and prices ruled firm. We understand that a cargo of foreign beasts, numbering about 300 head, was seized at the wharf this morning, some of the animals being in a dis eased state.

He confessed his guilt and went to the gallows firmly. He struggled for five minutes, and apparently died in great agony. THE MOTHERS OF ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN.— Who are the mothers of these little ones ? Let us see. According to the last census there were in England and Virale,s about 1,000,000 female servants, and nearly 300,000 dressmakers ; and though we would rather not tell the truth, yet duty compels us to confess that it is in this IT.';fge class that the seducer finds his most easy prey. Most women desire to get married ; it is their natural, as it is a most honourable estate ; and here wo have 1,300,000 girls of a marriageable age exposed to the snares of the human, or rather inhuman, fowler. The wonder is not that they are here and there seduced, but that the chastity of the class is so generally preserved. But let one of the frail ones yield to the allurements of the tempter ; let her listen to the voice of the false charmer ; let her become a mother, and what is her condition ? Helpless is not the word, nor hopeless either ; she finds herself cruelly stabbed and wounded in her tenderest feelings. Her honour has been outraged; her dearest affections blasted. She has become the victim of treachery and voluptuousness where she fondly hoped to be the object of pure and individual love. She is abandoned to be pointed at by the finger of scorn, to be cast out from every avenue of honest industry; and in the frenzy of her anguish is it astounding that she curses the offspring that thus rouses society against her, and in a moment of madness becomes an infanticide ? Society proolaims war against her, and, overweighted with a burthen too heavy to bear, she has to fight the battle— and that battle, too, alone. It is scarcely marvellous, then, that her agony should triumph over her natural instincts, and that she should make away with the burthen and the stain together.—Once n Week. M. Stubenrauch, professor of law at the Uni versity of Vienna, and a member of the municipal council of that city, has committed suicide with his wife, in consequence of the discovery of a deficit of 21,000 florins (52,500 f.) in the funds of the Savings Bank, of which ho was director. Ins second son has disappeared from Vienna. Acceptances for the Great Yorkshire Handicap. St. Leger Course.

TRULY RURAL. (From Punch.) IN A COTTAGE NEAR A WASPS' NEST. NOTES BY A DISGUSTED VISITOR FROM LONDON. Morning.—The early bee on my dressing-table. Suicide of earwig in my bath. Have to shako all my clothes to see that nothing has crawled in during the night. Feel in the toes of my slippers with the tongs. Once knew a man who found a wasp in the toe of his slipper. Repeat process with boots. Breakfast Time.—First appearance of wasps. Desultory feeding in consequence. Everything on the table, including napkins, becomes a defensive weapon against the wasps. Some are knocked down. Uncertainty as to their being killed. They crawl and sting. Once knew a man who was stung through his stockings by a crawling wasp. Everyone sits like a tailor or Turk on his chair. Ladies nervous. Pocket-handkerchiefs used for hitting at wasps. Knew a man once who got a wasp in his pocket-handkerchief, and it crept up his nose. Forget what became of him. Between Breakfast and Lunch.—Wasps on the grass. Under the trees. In the sun, in the shade. Any place on the grass free from wasps is occupied by ants, or bumble bees. They say bumble bees don't sting. I tried one. Didn't it. Sit by side of murmuring brook. Dragon-flies, fearful-looking creatures that come at you with a whirring noise. They say they don't sting. Never tried. Don't intend to. Lunch.-310re wasps. Desultory feeding as before. Help ing each other by fits and starts. Hornets join the merry throng. After a time a queen wasp and a king hornet, to judge by their size. The king hornet suddenly disap pears, it is supposed that ho is insidiously on the carpet. Luncheon finished. Afternoon—ln the shade flies, small, but imitating wasps. In the sun, wasps and hornets. Horse-flies from three till four. Dogs try to catch wasps, and shako their heads some time afterwards. Dinner—A few wasps. King hornet still unaccounted :or. Evening—Cockshafers on the lawn ; also gnats who bite viciously. Daddy longlegs. the of all sizes, in-doors. Bate outside. Toads on gravBwaralk. All, except toads, in bedroom. See with tongs if king hornet is in . my slippers. Spider on bed curtains. Daddies whirring about. Hate country. Shall at once return to my r 901120 and my club in St. Jametts-street. COLONIAL GO VERNMEN' British Columbia, 6 per cent., Dec. 31,1572 Can.G 0v.6 p.c.Ja.& July 1877-'4 Do. 6 p. c.

Pro ceeding up the hill, Stanton quitted his companion, and rounding the turn he ran past his horses and joined Syd monton. From this point the pair raced for the lead into the meadows, when the favourite gradually drew away, and on reaching the three-quarters-of-a-mile post he was clear of his horses, the Iris gelding still lying second, with Stanton in attendance. These positions were retained to the distance, where the gelding upon sufferance got to the favourite's quarters, who as they neared the stand shook him off, and won with hands down in a canter by a couple of lengths.

Here she was beaten, and the favourite and Nu joined Vixen. A good race home then ensued. Exchequer, who appeared to have the best of it at the stand, cut it a few strides from the chair, and was beaten cleverly by a head, but defeated Nu by a couple of lengths for second; half a length separated the latter from Side wind.

It is altogether above reason ; it is a holy passion, in which all others are absorbed and lost. It is a sacred flame on the altar of the heart, which is never quenched. That it does not require reason to feed it and keep it alive is witnessed in the in stinctive maternal love which pervades all animal nature. Every one must have instinctively felt the aptness of the Scriptural illustration of maternal solicitude, which likens a great love to a hen, which gathers her chickens under her wing. The hen's maternal care, so patient, so un selfish, is a miniature replica of Nature's greatest work. No doubt, it is carried on and on ad infinitum, until we want a microscope to see it. There are myriads of anxious the n o f gbeyond.

Tho proceedings of the Peace Conference at Edinburgh consisted of two morning and one evening meetings of the society, sitting as a society (to which, however, the general public were also admitted), and a public meeting, supposed to be entirely composed of persons who indicated by their presence neither that they agreed with nor differed from the principles of the society. At that meeting an amusing and stirring incident occurred of which the writer had also the good fortune to be a spectator. He had accompanied to the platform an aged relative —one of the kdinburgh committee for the reception of the delegates —and sat in one of the back seats immediately behind the chairman, Mr. Duncan M'Laren, at that time chief magistrate of the city. He saw, to hie surprise, that the seat of honour immediately on the left of the chair was reserved for a gentleniau, whose face he did not recognise as belonging to any one who had ap peared at all at any of the previous meetings of the confe rence. This gentleman pushed his way in a somewhat rough and unceremonious manner to his place, and his ar rival created no little stir amongst the occupants of the platform, who were composed in almost equal proportions of Peace Society delegates from various parts and of per sons of all degrees of local importance. It was evident, however, by the courteous attentions paid to this gentle man, ere the opening of the meeting, by the chairman and others, that he was " somebody." His appearance, however, belied the idea of his importance which was produced by the attentions paid him. Neither laundress, peruquier, nor tailor seemed to any large extent to have beerPtaken into consultation as to the preparation of the outer man. Nor did the few words that fell from his lips in answer to the courtesies and greetings which he received indicate that either his instructors in his early life, or himself at its later periods, had bestowed much attention upon the graces, or even the proprieties, of his diction. The then spectator, and present narrator, was mystified. And this mystifica tion lasted some time—lasted through the chairman'] opening speech ; through the reading of Mr. Richard, the Secretary of the Society, of the list of the resolutions passed at the Conference ; through an eloquent address by Elihu Burrit, and through another, overflowing with the richest humour, by the late esteemed Rev. John Burnet, of Camber well, one of the great representative Nonconformist leaders of our century. Then rose Mr. Cobden. He had not spoken long before the mystery was resolved. "I am glad," said he, "on this occasion, that we have a gallant gentleman with us—if he will allow me, I will call him my gallant friend, for we have walked into the same lobby generally, if not always, when we were in the House of Commons together —we have a gallant officer here, who, if ever you have to fight instead of arbitrating, will do your business as well as anybody you can find. This gallant gentleman —this gallant admiral—has come from London, warm from the City of London Tavern, bringing with him a spirit impatient /or some decisive proceedings in this troubled Eastern Question." All at once it flashed upon the nar rator's memory that, a week or two before, Sir Charles Napier had announced his intention, at a London Tavern meeting, of "bearding the Peace Society in its den," or some such phrase, which in the lapse of years has escaped our memory. This had been generally put down as a flourish of trumpets. But no ; here was the hero of Acre presented to our gaze, and—what was even better for juvenile hot blood, the prospects of a set-to between "Old Charley " and the great Peace heroes. " What a pity," thought we, " that Cobden speaks before him." But when we heard Mr. Bright reply to the Admiral our regret vanished. The audience received all three with an equal share of plaudits —a circumstance not so much, perhaps, to be attributed to any vacillation or fickleness of the popularis aura, as to a just and fair determination to give equal justice. Cobden's speech was diversified by an oc casional gruffly given interruption from the admiral, most of which, however, were inaudible.—.2llcGiichrises Life of Cobden. PREPARATIONS OF STRYCHNINE.=-Mr. C. J. Cart tar, coroner for West Kent, hold an inquest yesterday on the body of Frances Symonds, aged 68, a married woman, who committed suicide by swallowing a quantity Of pre pared powder usually sold for killing rats, and known as " Battle's Vermin Killing Powder," the ingredients of which contain a large portion of strychnine. The evidence showed that the deceased, who was addicted to habits of intemperance, left home on Sunday morning last and pur chased a 3d. packet of the above powder at a neighbouring chemist's, and on returning home mixed it in some liquid and drank it. The chemist at whose shop the poison was supposed to have been purchased said it was generally sold to persons who asked for it without any questions being put, and Dr. Cogan, who had been called to the deceased, said that a 3d. packet of the poison would contain a grain and a half of strychnine, and that the deceased must have suffered excruciating agony. The Coroner said it could never have been the intention of the Legislature that such a compound should not come within the Sale of Poisons Act. Verdict, . " That the deceased committed suicide while labouring under temporary derangement." DOCK'YARDS OF THREE NATlONS.—England has • nine dockyards—Deptford, Woolwich, Chatham, Sheerness, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Pembroke, and, in time of war, Deal and Yarmouth. France has six—Cherbourg, Toulon, Brest, L'orient, Rochefort, and Indret. America has eight. Portsmouth, New Hampshire, has au.area of 63 acres, but nearly five acres must be filled in before the land can be used. The yard is situate on an island, and has a water front of about I,oooft. ; it has one floating dry-dock and three building slips. Charlestown, near Boston, covers 80 acres of ground, but 16 acres of this are marsh, and must be filled in. The water frontage that is of any value is only about 600 ft. The yard has one stone dry dock and two build ing slips. Brooklyn covers a surface of 80 acres of available ground and 40 acres of marsh that can be filled in -120 acmes in all. There is at presenl an available water frontage of 1,200 feet, one stone dry dock, and t wo b uilding slips Philadelphia yard has only 15 acres ' surface, and one acre of this must be filled in to be available.

Washi ng t on yard has an area of 42 acres, no dry dock. Norfolk and Pensacola yards were destroyed by the rebels, and at present no work of tiny importance is done at either of them ; and Mare Island, on the Pacific, is yet unfinished, and is used only as a place of temporary repair. The British dockyards above enumerated contain 1,000 acres of ground, 50 building slips, and 34 dry docks; the French Imperial yards cover 1,129 acres, and comprises 75 building slips and 26 dry docks; the five navy yards of the United States now in use contain only 218 acres, 12 building slips, and four dry docks. It is easy to refer to the " brilliant record" of the war just past, and to thousands of miles of coast guarded by a navy created in six weeks; but it must be remembered that it consisted almost entirely of merchan, built craft, unsuited to naval service ; and had our enemy been a naval Power they would have been almost worth less. . . . Without the aid of private establishments our navy would have made a very poor show in our late war. But England and France also, in addition to their immense public works, have the vast resources of their private ship yards, which in one case are as great as our own, and in the other case much greater, to draw upon. The French Go vernment are empowered by law to seize private establish ments in time of war, and either work them by their own employes, or else have Government work done by private owners.
