ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK, The Money Market continues in active condition, and the quotations for the best bills remain at 2i and 3 per cent. The authorities of the Bank, who are also transacting a rather large business, have not deemed it necessary this morning to make any alteration in their official minimum. Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited) is the title of one of the most important companies introduced to the investing public. The name of the firm whose business and connections it is proposed to convert into an associated enterprise on the all prevailing liability principle is so well known that any reference to its origin and progress is altogether unnecessary. Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co., for half a century or more, have held the highest position amongst discounters, and the corporation now proposed will have the experience and ability of Messrs. Henry Edward Gurney, John Henry Gurney, Robert Birkbeck, Henry Ford Barclay, and others whose monetary connections are exten sive. The capital is set down at £5,000,000, in chares of £5O each, and the terms on which the goodwill of this old-established business are to be transferred appear to be of an exceedingly moderate amount. The bankers comprise the Bank of Eng land, and Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, Tritton, Twells, and Co. The shares are quoted 2 to 3 premium and the,:applications are very numerous. Two o'Cincz.

Carpender, the artist, vouches for the truth of an account he gives of the success of a young woman in ob taining from the late President a pardon for her only brother aforeigner, who had enlisted and been induced by bad com pany to desert, was retaken, and was sentenced to be shot. She had waited in vain for two whole days in hopes of being admitted to the presence of the President, when she accidentally came under the notice of a gentleman who had a special appointment at the White House, and who, hear ing her story and perceiving the urgency of the ease, took her in with him. Mr. Lincoln read her petition, studied member em4ebyu havexeoprreosfscioo comenngi.s of e h s er countenance, and then as his eye fell upon her s can t y b ut neat dress he exclaimed, " My poor a there pleadwith your no cause;gov ern governor, uor seem senator, o honestr and truthful, an d —you don't wear hoops, and I will be whipped but I will pardon your brother."

The important act to confer on the County Courts a limited jurisdiction in equity has just been issued. The County Courts are to exercise the power and authority of the Court of Chancery in all suits in which the real or personal estate against or for an account does not exceed .£5OO ; in all suits for the execution of trusts to £5OO, in all suits for foreclosure, redemption, &c., to .£5OO ; in all proceedings under the Trustees Relief Act to £5OO ; and in all suits for dissolu tion dr winding up of a partnership in which the whole property does not exceed £5OO.

Jennings, of Lo n d on, at the South- Western Pottery, near Poole, together with th ree women, , where by some mis hap the boat capsized, it is believed owin g t o a v i o l en t gus t of wind, and the unfortunate persons we re a ll prec i p it a t e d esoroathnenrelsrelatives, in the harbour, into the water. A pilot, named Hart, and two fi s hermen their witnessing the accident from the quay, rowed immediately to the assistance of those in the water, and they succeeded in bringing the following ashore :—John Baker, Sherren Lucas, Devonport, a daughter of M. Devonport, and an old woman named Ford. Of these Baker and Lucas were speedily restored to animation, and the lif e o f th e young wom an Devonport is not despaired of. Her mother and father were both drowned, and the body of the former has not yet been discovered. Ford and his wife died almost immediately after being brought to land.

The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the learned judge sentenco him to seven years' penal servitude. . NEW COURT. Tho cases taken to-day were of that pec iar description that public morals are best served by abstai ing from pub lishing them. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CASE.—ALLEGED VIOLENCE OF THE POLICE TOWARDS A FOREIGNER.—ManueI Gonzalos Ferrerri, a Spaniard, describing himself as an interpreter and teacher of languages, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting Police-constable John Rogers, 87 E. The prisoner then placed in the dockpresented a ghastly appearance, having two bad black eyes, his face much bruised and covered with blood, as also was a light-colured coat he was wearing. During part of the examination he was so faint that he was obliged to be accommodated with a seat. Police -constable Rogers, 87 E, said—Hearing cries of " Police !" about 2 o'clock in the morning, I went to the corner of Howland-street, and saw the prisoner struggling with a female, who said he had molested her. I told tho female to go away, and she did so, but the prisoner refused, and struck me a blow on the shoulder with a stick, knock ing me down. I caught hold of the prisoner's legs and pulled him down, and the prisoner then took out a knife (a small table knife) and said he would do for me. In falling the prisoner fell on his face, causing it to be injured. The prisoner was very drunk and violent, and it took six of us to get him to the station. He refused to wash the blood from his face. The Prisoner—The constable kicked me while I was on the ground. I had a sharp knife in my pocket which I could have used if I meant to hurt the constable. Mr. Knox—The prisoner appears to have received severe injuries. , The Prisoner—l was with a friend at the time when the constable came up. Mr. Knox—What are you ? The Prisoner—l am an interpreter. The Constable—l had another constable with me. Mr. Knox—Let the other constable be sent for. Police-constable Robertson, 70 E, on the case being re newed, said—This morning, at two o'clock, I heard a cry of police in Rowland-street, and on going up saw my brother constable and the prisoner on the ground together. The prisoner had a knife in his hand. I laid hold of the pri soner's arm, and took the knife from him. We tried to get him to the station, when he kicked and jumped about, and fell down a time o: two, on his face once. We were obliged to get more assistance, and it took five or six of us to get him to tho station. Mr. Knox—l will not call on you (prisoner) for any de fence. That you were very drunk I have no doubt. The constable in the first part of his evidence, which I believe, finds you in altercation with a female. It appears you then conduct yourself in a disorderly manner, and strike the constable a blow with a stick. He says it caused him to fall, but it is difficult to believe that a blow on the shoulder would cause a man to fall. He then saw you take out a knife and threatened to kill him, but I do not believe that you intended more than a mere flourishing of it, particu larly with such a knife, when as you say if you intended to do so you had another, and one more suited to the pur pose than a far from sharp bread and cheese knife. A scuffle then takes place, in which the constables coat gets damaged to the amount of 55., in which I am sorry to see your face has got so badly injured. I shall discharge you as you have received far more severe punishment than I should have inflicted upon you. I am not so clear as I could wish to be that unnecessary violence has not been used towards the prisoner. The prisoner, on rising from his seat, said—Can I have an order from the hospital ? Mr. Knox requested the sergeant in charge of the case u take the man to the hospital, and left for that purpose. THAMES. A RUFF N.—Edward Curtis, a dissipated-looking fellow, with a bruised face and black eye, employed in the tea ware house of the London Docks, was brought before Mr. Par tridge charged with being drunk, disorderly, fighting with a sailor, and assaulting Samuel Rimell, a police-constable, 159 H. The police-constable said the prisoner was engaged in a fight with a sailor last night in Rosemary-lane. They were knocking each other about unmercifully. He stopped the fight and advised the prisoner to go away. The pri soner immediately turned round and kicked him several times on the legs. He seized him, and was then struck on the breast. The prisoner threw himself on the ground and struggled, kicked, and "splashed" about violently before he was taken. It required the united exertions of four men to carry the prisoner on a stretcher to the station. George Stephens, ,a police constable, 683 A, confirmed the latter part of Rimell's statement. The prisoner said he was very sorry for what he had done, and had been already punished. Mr. Partridge--With a bruised eyo and face. You are fined 10s. CASUAL. PAUPERS.—George Griffiths, James Brown, and Alfred Clark were brought before Mr. Partridge charged with tearing up their clothes in the casual ward of the Poplar Union-house. The Poplar Union has been singularly distinguished for its liberality to the destitute poor. All corners have been admitted, and as many as 500 have been admitted to the casual wards in one week. The other parishes in the east have not been so liberal. In Mile-end, St. George-in-the- East, Radcliff, and Whitechapel admit only a limited num- , ber every night. Yesterday morning 79 " casual paupers' were admitted into the Poplar Union-house, and all were provided with a bed and breakfast. Tho prisoners were among them, and tore up their clothes. On Mr. James Monck, the superintendent, expostulating with them, they said their garments were old, filthy, and offensive to them. Mr. Partridge asked Brown how old he was, to which he replied 18 years. He also said he came from Croydon. Mr. Partridge—Why don't you stop in your own parish, and not come into a district overcrowded with poor and labourers of every description. The prisoner—l can't get any work at Croydon. Mr. Partridge—And you boys, Clark and Griffiths, why don't you obtain work ? You are stout healthy fellows. Mr. Partridge—You are all sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 21 days. About 100 " casuals," as the workhouse authorities term . them, who have been sheltered in Poplar union house since a merciful act was passed by the Legislature, have been convicted for tearing up their clothes. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. The election interfering with business. Market quiet. Sales, probably 4,000 bales. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : Great Western North Western South-Western .. Brighton Midland .. South Eastern Great Northern .. Bristol and Exeter Great Eastern 1865. 1864 ... £72,999 £72,358 ... 120,524 113,573 ... 282,270 28,219 ... 22,854 20,763 ▪ 48,804 45,664 27,243 25,813 35,704 34,371 • 7,095 6,884 ▪ 37,925 35,197 These returns, when compared with those of the corresponding period of last year, are generally of a favourable character. On the Great Western there is an increase of £641, on the North Western of £6,957, on the South Western of £57, on the Brighton of £2,091, on the Midland of £3,10, on the South Eastern of £1,430, on the Great North ern of £1,333, on the Bristol and Exeter of £l6l, and on the Great Eastern of £2,728. The transfer books of the Home and Colonial Assurance Company will be closed from the 31st inst. to the 9th August, preparatory to a payment of interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum for the half-year ending the 30th June last. The sixth report of the directors of the Imperial Bank, to be presented at the forthcoming meeting of shareholders states that, notwithstanding the low rate of money which has prevailed during a great portion of the last six months, and that the dividend will have to be paid on 10,500 new shares, which previously only carried interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, the directors are enabled to re commend a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum free of income tax. After payment of divi dend, &c., and allowance for rebate of interest on bills discounted, bad and doubtful debts, &c., there remains a balance of £6,897 18s. 2d., which it is recommended shall be appropriated as follows : £3,000 to the reserve fund, £BB9 13s. 9d. to be written off preliminary expenses, and £3,008 4s. sd. to be carried to profit and loss new account. JOHN GILBERT'S NOBLE PICTURE OF THE HONEST VOTER, in " The British Workman" —we should rejoice to see pasted up on the wall of the house-room in every cottage in the land. It is a beautiful and startling example of the pictorial teaching of this great artist. It is, besides that, wonderfully apropos just now in the midst of the Elections. The Honest Voter hero revealed to us in his workshop might be a portrait from the life of Joe Gargery, in " Great Expectations." Lambs....os Od to 78 Id.
