MONEY MARKET AND COMIIERCI;IL INTELI.7GgNrE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. A stringent tendency is observable this morning in the rates of discount. The demand for accom modation continues slight, but the floating capital is less abundant, and the brokers have seized the °PPortunity of enforcing 41 Per cent. for the nego tiation of the best descriptions of commercial bills. On the Stock Exchange, however, money is plenti ful, and the rates from day to-day upon English Government Securities range from 2 per cent. The Stock Exchange Markets are inactive, and comparatively little business is in progress. The incessant fall of rain this morning has prevented a large attendance both of members and clients, and in the absence of any special news the general quietude prevails. The Funds remain steady, and Consols are 891 for money, and 89} I for the account. About £16,000 was taken to the Bank of Eng land on Saturday afternoon. The directors of the Brazilian and Portuguese Bank have issued a circular, in which they state that a dividend on account will be paid on the 9th November next, at the rate of 3 per cent. (or 6s. Per share), free of income tax, on the paid up capital of the Bank. The proprietors are informed that, notwithstanding the late crisis in England and Rio Janeiro, the institution has not sustained any loss. The reports from the various manufacturing dis tricts for the past week represent that business generally has remained inactive. Cloths and yarns at Manchester have barely maintained former rates, While at Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax the dealings have been confined to small parcels of goods to sort up stocks. In the hosiery and lace depart ments of Leicester and Nottingham there has been more activity, while at Birmingham most depart ments of business remained very inactive. At Sheffield and Wolverhampton, however, the receipt of considerable orders for the American and Cana dian markets has caused a more cheerful feeling. The general business of the Port of London last week continued very inactive. At the Custom house only 197 vessels were reported as having arrived from foreign ports, and there was one from Ireland. The entries outwards comprised 109 vessels, and those cleared • were 132, including 16 which were despatched in ballast. The departures for the Australian colonies have been 6 vessels— viz., 1 to Adelaide, of 590 tons ; 1 to Sydney, of 874 tons ; 2 to Port Philip, of 1,852 tons ; and 2 to New Zealand, of 1,254 tons—the total tonnage amounting to 4,570. The shareholders of the Chontales Gold and Silver Mining Company held their first general meeting to-day. The report stated that the agreement with the Foreign Lands Company has been fully and loyally carried out. The farm of Santa Gertrudez, together with the mines of San Domingo, La Trini dad, Cabazales, and Concepcion, have all been trans ferred to this company. The Consuelo, Estrella, and San Antonio mines have been purchased, paid for, and the titles confirmed to this company. The direc tors, however, regret to state that, .notwithstanding that continued negotiation, the Javali mine has been unexpectedly purchased over their heads, upon t erms to which your directors could not have sub mitted. The Chontales shareholders will, however, rejoice to learn, that they are more than compen sated for the losS of the Javali Mine by the acquisi tion which the company has made in the purchase .L and possession of a water-power of larger magni tude in the same stream. They have also the ad vantage of possessing over 2,000 Tares (nearly equivalent to a yard English) of the Javali Lode, extending beyond the boundary of the Javali Mine. 'he Chontales Company therefore now possess abundant water-power for all purposes, without bein g dependent on the Javali Mine. The total e . t o st, including the valuable mineral rights on the avali Lode, did not exceed 4,500 dollars, while the Javali Mine is reported to have cost its purchasers 150,000 dollars. Your directors believe that the c apital tl of this Company can be much more advan thge"alY expended in developing the resources of e C°l ' 3 l 3 any's broperty. Two O'CLOCK. da y ccording to R eu t er 's telegram from Paris, to the French Rentes were 68f. 75c. 'We are requested to state that the Royal Bank of India, the Bombay Presidency Bank, the India, Peninsula Bank, and the Brokers' Banking Com pany of Bombay, are not in course of liquidation as repres ented by a li s t p u bli s h e d i n th e B u llio n i s t, but told they continue business as usual. Business in the Corn Market to-day continues rather dull, but the few samples of home-grown w heat on off er f ound buyers at an advance of 2s. . 38 . per quarter on last Monday's current rates. Barley, beans, peas and flour were unaltered in value. Though all the markets in the Stock Exchange are dull, the variations are limited, yet presenting a slight degree of heaviness. Consols remain at 894 for money, and at 893- ft for the account. The inclement state of the weather is no doubt the cause of the immediate diminution of business.

Tho October Sessions commenced this morning at tho Old Bailey. The calendar contains the names of 101 pri soners for trial. The Recorder charged the Grand Jury, during which ho referred to two painful cases, which were those of Sarah Holmes, who was charged with starring her child to death, and the charge of manslaughter arising out of the wife beating case in Bethnal-green. The jury having retired to their room, in a short time after the trials commenced. A gentlemanly -dressed man named Henry Rymer sur rendered to an indictment charging him with misdemeanour. No evidence was offered and a verdict of not guilty returned. An elderly man named Donaldson surrendered to an indictment charging him with accusing Mary Ann Deans one of the nurses at Middlesex Hospital, with gross im morality with one of the patients of the institution. The facts of the case have been so fully reported that it is un necessary to repeat them. The jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press. S aIPPING INTELLIGENCE---This Day LONDON, Oct. 22.—Wind this day at noon—South- Westerly; moderate breeze, and cloudy weather, with rain.

ROYAL VISIT TO THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—On Saturday afternoon the Queen of Denmark and the Princess of Wales, accompanied by the Duchess of Cam bridge, Princess Thyra, and Prince Waldemar, andattended by the Hon. Col. Home-purves and Major Grey, visited the palace. The royal party inspected the fine art courts and the various objects of interest in the palace, including the Red White and Blue, the little Atlantic ship, with which they seemed much pleased. Captain Hudson was in attendance, and presented photographs to the royal party of The Wee Craft and her crew. A special display of the great fountains took place in the afternoon. The Saturday concert took place as usual, the artistes being Madlle. Lieb hardt, kiss Julia Elton. and Mr. W. H. Cummings. Beet hoven's " Eroica" symphony, a madrigal from Gounod's new opera "La Colombe," and the overture to Mr. Arthur Sullivan's new opera " The Sapphire Necklace" were in cluded in the programme. After the concert the Palace was illuminated for promenade, and Edmond's chromatic fairy fountain played on the great stage. The return of admissions for six days ending Saturday, Oct. 20 (includ ing season ticket holders) gives the numbers 23,230. PROPOSED BANQUET TO MR. GLADSTONE IN PARIS.—A Paris correspondent of the bulepenclanze Beige says :—" Mr. Gladstone is expected in Paris about the 15th November. The Societe des Economistes, of which M. Michel Chevalier is chairman, are preparing to give him a welcome. It has been decided to offer a grand banquet to the illustrious English statesman." A MECHANICAL HORSE.—The last novelty in the way of locomotion is to be found among the many wonders of the Great Exhibition. It conests in a mechanical horse, which trots, gallops, or walks, as may suit the pleasure of the rider. He even prances after the most approved style, and neighs when that sound is agreeable to its pos sessor. This new mode of locomotion cannot be recom mended on ;ho score of cheapness, as it costs above 52,000 f. to construct. STAKE MONEY.—We see it stated in Bell's Life that no less a sum than £15,000 passes annually through their hands as stakeholders for the various matches chro nicled in its columns. As racing, steeplechasing, coursing, cricket, and some other features which go to make up the large broad sheet of our contemporary, do not contribute anything towards the above amount, it would seem that whether money bo worth sor 4 por cent. there is not much lack of it amongst the sporting section of the com munity. A ship is now in Portland roadstead in which Casely, the Cornhill burglar, and other convicts are to be deported to Western Austrialia. Sir C. L. Wyke, K.C.8., late Envoy Extraordi nary and Minister Plenipotentiary at Hanover, arrived in town on Thursday evening from Germany. • A correspondent writes :—" All persons of the names of Jones, Johns, Williams, Evans, Wallis, Richards, Thomas, Edwards, Powell, from Ap-Howell, Price from Ap-Rice, or Ap-Rees, are of Welsh descent. The lato Lord Chancellor, whose surname is Bethel], from Ap-Ithil, is of Welsh extraction. Vyvian, Trevelyan, Trevannion, Pendennis, Penanedden, Pennington, Penrose, Polking home, are names of persons descended from Cornish Celts.

I.oid. per ounce for standard gold, it. appears that gold is about 3-10 ths per cea 1 . 0 Eater in London than !uncle. _-_ ~.,~,~ Great. Di MARKETS.—This Day. MARK LAM,. The country markets held 'on Saturday were active for wheat, at 2s to 3s per quarter more money. All kinds of spring corn conimanded very full prices, with only limited supplies on offer. On the continent wheat is still rising in price. The de mand for export has increased. Barley and most other kinds of produce have realised extreme rates. The Ame rican markets come very high. The imports of foreign and colonial grain, &c., into Lon don, last week were-29,362 quarters of wheat, 5,424 barley, 30,612 oats, 5,642 linseed, 9,294 rape-sebd, 2,951 maize, 181 sundries, and 50 sacks and 2:759 barrels of flour.

The trade was heavy in the extreme, and the quota Lions declined fully 4d per 81bs.. The plant) , of both beasts and sheep . was tolerably good. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were on the increase, and in fair condition. The unfavourable state of the weather compelled buyers to operate cautiously. All breeds of beasts, therefore, moved off heavily, at 4d per 81bs less money. The top figure was 5s per 81bs. The supply from Ireland was limited, and there were no arrivals from Scotland. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received about 1,500 short horns, &c., from othor parts of 'England, 600 various breeds, and from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers. Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was only moderate all breeds met a heavy sale, at a decline in the quotations of fully 4d per 81bs. The best Downs and half breds sold at 5s 8d to 6s per 81bs. The show of calves was tolerably good, and sales pro gressed slowly at a decline of 4d per 81bs. The highest price was 5s 2d per 81bs. We were extensively supplied with pigs, which moved, off heavily. Prices declined 2d to 4d per 81bs. Top price 5s per Bibs.

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL These markets are heavily supplied with meat to-day. Owing in some measure to the extreme mildness of the weather the trade is somewhat heavy, and prices generally have given way quite 4d per 81b.

The hop market has been very srm• Fine Sussex and Kent samples have been freely operated in, and have readily commanded very full prices.

SPORTING NOTES. - - - The last of the recognised legitimate meetings for the season takes place at head-quarters during the present week, commencing to-day, and concluding on Saturday next. The great race of the week—the Cambridgeshire Stakes—takes place to-morrow, in which a large num ber of horses may be expected to. start. Out of the lot, Aowever, I shall content myself—as in the Cosarewitch with alluding to those only which appear to have a chance, and limit my selection to the following eighteen horses, from which division I expect the winner will turn up. Age st. lb. Trainers. Brown Bread Ti 3 7 9 Porter. Affidavit Dalesman 3 7 5 Hayhoe. Etoile Filante 3 7 4 In France. Caithness 3 7 3 • Price. Claxton Paris 5 6 12 Pryor.

Proserpina 3 5 7 IL Goater. The selection is somewhat different from thoso I gave in my article of last week, as for Master Richard, Duke of York, Sidewind, and Black Prince, I have substituted Brown Bread, Affidavit, Life Guardsman, and Moldavia. I look upon the first-named, who is at New market under the care of young Thomas Dawson, as the most formidable outsider in the race, and if he does not run into a situation I shall be very much surprised. He was fifth in the Chesterfield Cup, with 9st on his back, earlier on this year, when quite unprepared, and with 71b ess ou his back, if in anything like his last year's Cesare witch form,when, carrying 7st 131 b and after twisting a plate, he ran a good fourth, he would make the best of them gallop. Affidavit is backed in downright earnest by the French division, and as just before Goodwin he ran Sultan (the winner of the Stewards' Cup) to a neck at a difference of 41b only, he must have a great chance. The partisans of Moldavia cannot grumble at his weight, as he ran fifth, carrying but 21b less in this race last year; and whereas to Nu, who ran second,' the Admiral has apportioned an in crease of two stcne, he has only increased the former 51b. Having discussed tha chances of the others in your last number, it is not worth while repeating those arguments, and I shall at once proceed to say that I have great faith in the folldwing six, namely : —Paris, Adergeldie, Chepstow, Xi, Acta" and Thalia, and of these I have most preference for the three first named. But, under the impression that the right money is all on, and that ho is superior to his stable companion, Caithness, who could not lose at his weight I expect the judge to place them. thus — CHEPSTOW 1 ABERGELDIE 2 ACT/EA 3 The Sweepstakes of 200 sovs on the same day will most likely be won by THE HERMIT, who will surely be brought out for a stake like this. The All-Aged Stakes bids fair to be the most exciting event of the week, as there is every probability of the two cracks, Lord Lyon and Gladiateur, contesting for it; and although Friponnier is engaged in it, there is very little doubt in my mind that it will rest between the two best horses of their year, who can each boast of a triple victory, in winning the Two Thousand, Derby, and St. Leger; but I have always held that the French horse _ is of a far superior class to Lord Lyon, and I expect to see my opinion corroborated by the former winning easily. In the absence of Grand Cross I should stand FAKIR for the Glasgow Stakes, and CLAYMORE ought to win the Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each. On Thursday the Free Handicap Sweepstakes will probably bring out Rustic, Vespasian, Strathconan, Janitor, one of Count Bathyany's, and LECTURER, for which latter, however, it looks on paper a really good thing, in the absence of Staghound, to whom he has to give 10Ib. For tho Troy StakeS I have the greafest fancy for Mr. Merry's representative, MARKSMAN or BIRDPOItTII, but it must not bo overlooked that Julius and Lady Hester each take a 71b allowance. KLARINSKA is sure to win the Sweepstakes of 100 sovs, and the Sweepstakes of 50 sovs will go to HIPPIA The weights for the two Nursery Stakes are not out yet, and even if they were it would be almost futile to attempt to select the winner out of 118 entries in one case and 116 in the other. Friday's racing includes a Sweepstakes of 25 sovs, in which the half dozen nominations are a ra gg ed lot, but whichever Lord Stamford runs will win ; and, of course, it is a certainty for MARKSMAN to win the Sweepstakes ay of 500 sovs each.. Concerning th e matches on Monc, HIPPIA should beat Brother to Asch am, and I shall nolt l be in at all surprised to see Prince do Solt y koff success _ u fu INCESS each of his three, DUKE of YORK v..

The deceased was crossing the course, and came in contact with Arlescott, whilst ho was cantering, previously to the open ing race. NOTES FROM TRAINING DISTRICTS. (THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET. In the course of Saturday and yesterday the arrivals of "provincial" horses—we use the word "provincial," because Newmarket is generally considered to be tho " metroplis" of the turf —were numerous ; consequently business on the heath has been exceedingly liuely. This morning Aber geldie, A cteaa„ Bradamante, Brown Bread, Bugler, Cran ford, Dulcimer, Etoil Filante, Lady of Coverdale, Life Guardsman, Lively, Miss Haworth, Moldavia Ostregor, Paris, Peon, Pepper's Ghost, Pluto, Rococo, Scarborough, The Squire, The Star, The Czar, Thalia, Valiant, Vigor ous, Wild Agnes, Xi. and Zenobia were amongst the Cam: bridgeshire "strangers" who exercised ; and in addition to them wo bad several of the Newmarket representatives for that race at work, including Broomielaw, Out and Outer, Vespasian, the Scheldt, Mineral, the Duke of York,;Sultan, Saladin, Jollity, Nu, Godmersham, Medina, Fluerette, Puebla, Dalesman, Tomahawk, Guinivere, Ambition, II Re Galantuomo, Mount Palantine, Caitness, Chepstow, Ro land, &c. Drewett set Ostreger to take Acteoa a clipping mile and a half, and the mare continues to move so freely that there cannot be a question about her ability to secure a place in the last big handicap of the legitimate campaign. Goodwin sent Nu and Godmersham along smattly, but neither will do. floss will probably start Out-and-Outer and Vespasian, as he was attending well to thorn. Amongst the Continental team we noticed Affi davit, Etoile Filanto, and Charmette especially, doing first class, but the latter again showed a deal of temper. Pen hill took Chepstow a mile and a half clipping, and the colt went uncommonly kind to-day ;heis in the very pink of condition, and it is generally believed here that Kenyon will be up, but ugly reports are about respecting the horse's age. Caithness again worked by himself; and there is no fear of "the changes being rung." Henry Goater bad both Abergeldie and Proserpine in nice work. Each looks in superb condition, and it is under stood they will both go on their ;merits, " Lord Freddy" having sold the filly to Sir Frederick Johnstone for £2,500, and also transferied his affection to the colt. If, therefore, Abergeldio is really better than PrOserpine,' the former is worth backing to win and for a place ; and it must not be overlooked that he was highly tried just before the Derby, and entrusted with a lot of good money for the Epsom *Mt. Wild Agnes had a beautiful mile and a quarter gallop. Pryor gave Paris and Peon a mile and a half steadily ; and the former, barring his infirm legs, appears very well. Alec Taylor had Bradamante, Pepper's Ghost, Bugler, and Dulcimer exorcisingfreely ; but if there is any hope for Fyfield it must be centred in Popper's Ghost, for the Cesarewitch running of Bradamante and Dulcimer cannot be reversed with Proserpine and Acts. Elliott gave Moldavia and Zenobia a mile and a half gallop each ; but the former appeared to tire at the finish. Jollity had a similar gallop to the north country horses. Brown Bread has not had a real good gallop for some time now, and is unsound. The following appeared in our Third Edition of last evening : NEWMARKET. Tho late rains have materially benefited the training grounds, and horses are arriving fast for the ensuing week's racing. Those animals that are already here to fulfil en gagements during the Houghton meeting include, amongst others, Ambition, Argentel, Araba, Affidavit, A. D., Ailes bury, Bounceaway, Blinkhoolie, Beauclerk, Brother to Ascham, Broomielaw, Breadalbane, Brown Bread, Brada mante, Bombastes, Cecrops, Cheltenham, Court Card, Chignon, Carl Volant, Cyclone, Claymore, Caithness, Charmette, Claxton, Chepstow, Corsair, Coldstream, Chats worth, Delium, Dutch Admiral, Dovetail, Domestic Bliss, Dr. Syntax (3 yrs), Dragon, Duke of York, Dalesman, Easby, Etoile Filante, Friponnier, Fleurett©, Gladiatour, Greenback, Godmershatn, Guinivere, The Hatter, Hippie, Harefield, Highwood, lon, Imperator, Il Re Galantuomo, Jewel; Jollity, Hermit, Julius, Jasper, Janua, Kingmaker, Londesborough, Louisa, Lochaber, Lady Bugle Eye, My Love, Lozenge, Lively, Moulsey, Magician, Master of Arts, Mochrie, Montagnard, Mazeppa, Maid Marian, Miller's Maid, Mount Palatine, Nu, Novice (2 yrs), Novice (3 yrs), Nine Elms, Nicolet, Oppressor, Ostregor, Out and Outer, Plutus, Pluto, Princess Thyra, Primrose, f by Parmesan out of Blanche (2 yrs), Purchase, Pedagogue, Peeress, Pie man, Peon, Paris, Pintail, Puebla, c by Parmesan out of Cincinnati (2 yrs), Problem, Roquefort, Reigning Beauty Robin Hood, Roland, Rus in Urbe, Ravioli, Strathconan, Sealskin, Satyr, Stradbroke, Space, Seringapatam, Stolen Kisses, Star of India, Scour de Charite, Sunnylocks, Sultan, Saccharometer, Saladin, Squire, Scheldt, c by Toxophilite, dam by Gamebay (3 yrs), colt by Toxophilite, out of the Drake's dam (2 yrs), Trombone, Tempest, Transformed, Tomahawk, Vespasian, Violet, Warrior, Wild Agnes, colt by Young Melbourne dam by Teddington (2 yrs), all of whom were at exercise this morning. Of these Ostregor, Saccharometer, Broomielaw, Sultan, Out-and-Outer, Sala din, Godmorsham, l:lown Bread, Lozenge, Peeress, Yes pasian, Wild Agnes, Peon, Paris, Dalesman, Bradamante, Pepper's Ghost, Nu, Affidavit., Mount I.!alatine, Robin Hood (by Wild Dayroll), Duke of York, Etoile Filanto, Caithness, Claxton, Fleurotte, The Squire, Harelield, The Scheldt, II Re Galantuomo, Roland, Guinivere, Lively, Puebla, Tomahawk, Ambition, Jollity, Chepstow, Medina, Charmette, Lightning, and Countersign are engaged in the Cambridgeshire, so that everything bids fair for an exceedingly large muster at the post for next Tuesday's big handicap. The two last mentioned horses, though, have been added to the list of scratehings, which already include Convent, Coup d'Etat, Breadalbane, Exceller, and Tormentor. Penhill led Chepstow a mile and a half at a rattling pace, and the latter is very fit. Caithness galloped by himself. Fleurotto went nearly two miles, and looked very light. The Baron's three followed Lothario a mile and three quarters, Dalesman moving beautifully. Armadillo exercised with Ambition, and the latter will take her own part in the struggle, despite the state of the market. Brown Bread is infirm, but galloped a mile and a half with Oppressor first class. Lozenge worked with Stratchcouan, both following Louisa a mile and a half. Custard Castle took Claxton a mile and three quarters, and the latter is very much improved. Etoile Filanta worked alone, and is a very nice mare, but rough in her coat ; she went a mile and a half clipping. Charmetto is not very prepossessing, and young Butler took her a mile and a quarter; she showed a deal of temper. Affi davit galloped a mile and a half ; she has boon highly tried at Royston with the St. Vincont-Bevill team. Jemmy Mann got on the Duke of York, and galloped a mile and three quarters smartly on the Lime-kilns. Robin Hood is very fit ; he had a mile and three quarters gallop. Roland went brilliantly. Jollity looked stale. Mr. Payne's team galloped a mile and a half steadily ; and the American representatives did a similar amount of work. Peda gogue has been stopped. Dragon, Friponnier, and Hippie, each galloped over a mile ; and the Hermit did three quarters of a mile, sharp. Most of the other juveniles were in mile work. The additional arrivals, with the latest training move ments at headquarters, will appear in our Monday's editions. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON SELECTIONS. THE CRITERION STAKES.

KELSO.—ANGLING IN THE TWEED AND TEVIOT.—Tho s2ort of angling has been pursued during the last week with varied success. On several of the days the sport was indifferent, owing in a measure to the clearness of the water. In the streams, however; several large fish have been captured ; and on Monday last, where there was a good breeze On the rivers,' the sport was exceedingly good. fu the Sproutson lower water, Mr. Longhorn killed four fish on Monday, some of them of heavy weight; and the Rev. Mr. Hill Scott captured two salmon. On Thursday and Friday, four salmon were caught in the Sproutson water, two of them weighing 231 b. and 241 b. respectively. -The Scotsman. IMPORTANT RESULTS FROM A NEW MINING PROCESS. According to our promise last week, under the heading of " New York Markets," we propose to describe the new process by which the waste under the old system of " wet" crushing the quartz in gold mining is avoided. For the last six or seven years experiments have been made without ceasing to dis cover the very best means of extracting the precious metals. It was well known that the rock of the Josephine and Pine Tree Mines of the Mariposa estate in California did not ; yield under the "wet" crushing process and the workings of ordinary quartz mills over $6 per ton, although the assays gave a much larger result. Accordingly the necessary works were erected and the same fully tested. The result of working 15 tons of the ordinary rock of the Pine Tree Mine —quartz full of the rinest gold, of which tons and tons have been floated off into the Merced River, from the inability of the process in vogue to retain —was submitted to the new method. Under ordi nary workings the yield was scarcely over an average of $6. The result of the present new system made a return of $32 per ton on the first week's run, which is au excess of over $2O per ton in favour of the new process. The rock is dry crushed, and afterwards submitted to the action of balls in a drum to insure full pulverisation, it being de sirable that the powder should approach as near i t vZ:: flour as possible. A charge of this powdered quartz is is then placed in an air-tight cylinde f r, pipes to con of which is furnished with a worm . : fin l) o .7 niiverised vey superheated steam therein.

We learn that the process is not as ' expensive as the ordinary method of working, and the public will look with siderable interest to the future expe • riments with the same. It is t o be hoped that it will prove reliable, as by its means there are a host of at present un • productive quartzledgeswhich • will afford remune rative results from l sue i working. By this process all the immense • piles of tailings which environ al most every mill in the State can be profitably worked. Millions of dollars now lie buried in these sand heaps.—Anglo-Anwrican Times.
