MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market is a little firmer this morning consequent upon the efflux of gold, and the altera tions, many of them of an unfavourable character, in the Bank return. The quotations, however, continue at 2 3 per cent. The prospectus was issued a few days since of the General Exchange Bank, stating that it had acquired the Banking, Bullion, and Exchange business of the late London, Hamburg, and Conti nental Exchange Bank. The directors have now issued an amended prospectus, notifying the pur chase of the old and respectable tanking business of Messrs. Scieluna and Sons, of Malta, and also that of Messrs. Borg and Co., of Alexandria. The active partners of these respective firms will also join the Board. The Bank of France return is of an unfavourable character. The bullion has been decreased £910,000 ; while the notes in circulation have been increased £lO,OOO, the bills discounted £104;000, and the advances on stock £500,000. The Trea sury balance shows an augmentation of £96,000, and the current accounts have received an addition of £l / 320 1 000. The directors of the London, Italian, and Adria tic Steam Navigation Company have notified that they will distribute an interim dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum for the half-year ending the 30th June last. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Renter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 62c. A very buoyant market has prevailed for the English Funds to-day, and an improvement of Per cent. has taken place in Consols, which are quoted 90 for money, and 90 it for the account. The New Three per Cents. and Reduced Annuities are 89k ; Exchequer Bills, par to 4s. prem. ; and India 5 per Cents., 1041 I. There have also been a few favourable alterations in Foreign Stocks. Turkish Consolides have ad vanced to 491 4 ; Mexican to 241 ; the New Stock to 231 f ; Greek Bonds to 204 211 ; Spanish Passive are 29/ ; the Certificates, 141 1 ; Italian, 63k 64 ; and the Confederate Loan, 7 9. Ame rican Securities remain inactive ; United States 5-20 Bonds are 71- a ; Erie shares, 54/ ; and Illinois, 86/ 8. Business in the Railway Share Market has con tinued dull, and prices have, in some instances, shown less firmness. North Western have receded 5 8., Great Western and Midland each 10s., and Metropolitan £l. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive, at about previous rates. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull, with out any material change to report in values. City Bank have improved to 1111 ; London Joint-stock are steady at 50 ; and General Credit 54 Subjoined are the current quotations of some of the principal new undertakings :--New Issue of 50,000 Preference Shares of £5 each of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, 4 1 pm. ; ,Northern Assam Tea, par 4 pm. ; Chubwa Tea, 0 0 pm. ; Rus sian Iron, 810 pm. ; London Bridge Land, 4 Pra. ; Albert Bridge, 1 14 pm. ; Grange Town Iron, 0 0 . pm. ; Downs Dock, 4 1 pm. ; London, Greenwich, and Windsor Hotels, 1/ 2 pm. ; London Quays, 4 4 pm. ; British India and Trust Agency, 14 14 pm. ; Belgrave Mansions, par / pm. ; Metro- NEB Sewage, 14 2 pm. ; Peruvian Railways, 3 4 ; Lion Brewery, 24 1 pm. ; Blakcley Ordnance, 3 1 34 pm. ; Hop and Malt Exchange, 14 2 pm. ; Darned's Banking, 4 1 pm. ; Dalbeattie and Kirk connell Granite, 24 8 pin. ; East London Railway Scrip, par 4 p m. ; L ondon and Mediterranean Bank, 31 4 pm. ; Overend, Gurney, and Company (Limited), 24 24 pm.

The Wimbledon Meeting for 1865. FOURTH DAY. The weather yesterday was by no means conducive to the comfort or favourable to high quality of shooting on th e part of the Volunteers.

The process is as follows : Having fired at the target, he retires and runs round the post 50 yards off, carrying with him rifle, ammu nition, rod, and everything he makes us of in firing, loading when he likes, but not capping till he arrives at the firing point, from which, as soon as he has delivered his next shot, he sets off again in a similar manner. Five minnutes are allowed for single barrels, only four for double-barrelled rifles, but in either caso the gun must be loaded from the muzzle with a powder flask, and the object of the compe tition is to make as many marks as possible in the time, which is counted from the first shot. It would naturally be supposed that the conse quences of all this running must be to render the shooting very wild. The Earl of Aberdeen, how ever, in the course of his four minutes, ran 500 yards, fired 11 shots, and made 42 marks, or within two of the utmost maximum attainable from the same number of shots fired without changing posi tion or any pressure in point of time. The range at which the accident happened to markers on the previous day was reopened yesterday, Captain Drake having devised a system of falling boards or flaps, which open - to allow the disc to pass, but close as soon as this is withdrawn, thereby stopping up the apertures through which the splashes succeeded in making their way. No new accidents were re ported yesterday ; but towards evening a police constable,who had been stationed at one of the out posts, was found to be suffering from the effects of the exposure to the weather, and was taken to the hospital. The Valley of Cashmere. (From a Correspondent of the Times.) 'SRDIUGGITR 7 May 26. could undersell those of Russia in the great marts of Russia. The mission which some time ago was to have proceeded from the Punjab to Yarkand would have conferred incalcul able benefits on British commerce, had the Supreme Go vernment not at once stopped it. The marauding tribes between Leh and Yarkand might have been subsidised, an agent (agsakal, "greybeard")appointed to watch over Indian commerce at Yarkand ; invaluable scientific, linguistic, and historical information would have been obtained, and the fact of our political existence would have been rendered pa tent to the races inhabiting those immense regions. It is idle to weigh against these considerations the dangers to life which the members of the proposed mission might have run at the hands of robbers infesting the roads between Ladak and Yarkand. Hundreds of native merchants cross the roads every year, and as the mission would have been under the especial protection either of our own feudatory, the Maharajah of Cashmere, or of that of the Khan of Khokan, who invited it, and was ready to give every pledge to the British Government of its safe arrival and return — had the members of the mission, in spite of these precau tions, been assassinated by some band of robbers, our Government could not possibly have been involved in war, as there would have been no Government to go to war with. Ono thing is quite clear. Wo must either annex Cashmere in order to have a safe frontier against Russia and a secure and untrammelled commerce with Central Asia, or force the Maharajah to open his country unreservedly to Europeans, to give access to every information, topographi cal and political, which we may desire, and to abolish the ridiculously extravagant taxation on exports and imports. In the interests of civilization ho should also be compelled to govern his subjects in a more merciful and, above all, regular manner; to levy his taxes more in money than kind, and to establish the equality before the law of the oppressed Mussulmans with the ruling Hindoos. The prayer of every Cashmere is that the " sahibs" would take the country from the Maharajah. At any rate, with the outposts of Russia almost opposite Gilghit, with every information pertina ciously kept from us by the Rajah under a false show of readiness to give it, we shall, I trust, better ourselves and an oppressed race by creating a strong frontier in an acces sible, defensible, and civilized Cashmere. Russia is 700 miles nearer Hindustan than in 1859 ; we must come to some understanding with that Power, and, if practicable, establish friendly commercial and political relations with her. If this is not done Thibet and Cashmere will be come Russian provinces, as the whole of Central Asia is already practically. Probably, even Russian civilisation, associated though it be with the massacres in Poland, Sibe ria, the knout, and a quasi-Oriental despotism that has at command all the mechanical appliances of the 19th century and none of its spirit, is better than no civilisation at all. If we do not force our feudatory to do what he ought to do we shall lose India. In diplomacy we are generally no match for Russia; Cashmere will intrigue with that power till she becomes a slave to it. If we are to have a strong frontier we can only have it now. In a few years, perhaps months, it will be too late. Above all, let us not depend on information given to us by natives, even if they be our own agents. It is absurd to suppose that a native will re fuse a judicious bribe, come from what quarter it may. Let us have European agents throughout the length and breadth of Cashmere and Thibet. It is only in the posses sion of a strong frontier, a flourishing commerce, and a liberal Government that we can afford to have a powerful but comparatively barbarous neighbour at almost the very doors of Hindustan.

P r ivate Anderson, 30th Cheshi re 16 The Horatio Ross Prize its ons differing in its You will, no doubt, be glad to hear the true account of the little disturbance which we had hero about a fortnight ago. Everybody you meet has something to say about it, but few know really what has happened. In a country where, from the Maharajah downwards, every native thinks it to be to his interest to mislead the European or to prevent his access to authentic information, you may imagine that no two accounts of one occurrence coincide in every respect with one another. Besides, information often filters through questionakle channels to the English visitors of Cashmere. Some have implicit trust in their khupsumahs (butlers) ; others repose confidence in thapolitical wisdom of the boat men who paddle them up and down this delightful country of streams, rivers, lakes, and pools, or hear the words of truth and soberness from the lips of some fair but frail Cashmere beauty. As to the agents of the British Govern ment, who are to give and should be supposed to possess ac ' curate information as to what is going on, they are, especi ally if they are "swells," so overwhelmed with acts of kindness •by the Maharajah and his Ministers, so much "feted," that it is not to be wondered at that they leave Srinuggur with the impression "that the Rajah is one of the most enlightened Oriental princes ;" that he is much misun derstood ; that he has of course the good of his country at heart, but cannot do everything in one day. Indeed only the person who has a thorough knowledge (unfortunately only to be got through experience) of all the revolting intricacies of Oriental cunning, of its almost unfathomable duplicity of the heartless and shortsighted selfishness of native rulers, and the absolute demoralisation of the ruled, is competent to take the right course for inquiring into the course of events which take place around him. "Jfais revenons nos moutons." The mutiny was perfectly spontaneous. The people who took part in it were driven to it by the artifi cial condition of starvation in which it is the good pleasure of this worst of all governments to keep them. To understand this you must know that everything in Cashmere, either by assumed right or by direct spoliation, s the private property of the Maharajah. He is the absolute proprietor of the lives and property of his subjects. It is from him that they have to bay their own produce, and on that he levies enormous taxes. In ordinary times, when the ruler is just, or already saturated with the gains of ex actions, he is content to appropriate—say, talking of the produce of the land, one-half, and to levy taxes to the amount of 30 and 40 per cent. on the remainder. Tho pre sent Maharajah is scarcely satisfied with this, or, at any rate, if ho is his officials are not. The people of this country mainly live on rice. Well, this rice is accumulated by the Rajah, and sold to his subjects. This year its price is trebled, the ostensible cause of this circuumstance being the influx of visitors (who are comparatively very fow); its real cause the insatiable avarice of the Government. The people unable to pay this price—and the difference of the present price and that of the two preceding years—have to live on grass and roots. Driven by hunger, a mob as sembled in the streets of Srinuggur, and, although un armed (which the Maharajah takes good care they shall be) threatened by their numbers to become dangerous. They shouted for food, and it is said menaced one of the Ministers of the ill-advised Rajah. In reply his highness's sepoys wore lot loose on them, cut down a few, and drove the crowd on to one of the bridges which connect the seve ral parts of this sham Venice. The bridge broke down, we must charitably suppose accidentally, by the weight of the people on it, and about 36 persons were drowned. It is said that the sepoys tried to save them, and also that they pushed back into the water those who endeavoured to gain the shore. I will you leave to judge which of the two ac counts is likely to be the correct ono. For the edification of the European visitors a story was subsequently got up, in which this petty outbreak was ascribed to the shawlmakers striking for higher wages (they have about ss. a month left, after deduction of taxes), and a reduction of the scandalous price at which rico is sold. All I can say is this, that to induce the timid Cashmerian (and of all the races that I have seen the Cashmiri is deci dedly the most timid) to express his dissatisfaction in a public manner, the cup, even of oriental tyranny, must have been overflowing. Happily the outbreak to which this lwethteen m letter .refers Europeanstook place at the beginning of the "season," were pr to s e prevent and thus draw their a tt ent i on to h i s m i sru l e , a f e w conces sions were made o r , ra th er, prom i se d b y th e M a harajah. In e t,- and further t is probably outbreaks due to their presence th a t in order the winter, when the snow obstructs the passes and Euro peans are politely turned out of Cashmere nothing inter feres with the patriarchial government of his Highness. The taxes are levied or, rather, robbed from the defenceless population ; one or the other of the few who, in spite of the vexatious imposts by which trade is fettered, have grown wealthy, is seized on some frivolous pretext, thrown into prison, where he may be tortured, and from which he is only released on payment of a considerable sum to the Ex chequer.; people are beaten, tortured, and, I fully believe, whenever disaffection is spreading in any district, espe cially a mountainous ono, decimated without mercy or ap. peal. Whether the late outbreak is the precursor of many others, or merely one of a number of which the British hwet say.hi adheuei which orhlfatto stand.dhi uese Government is kept in ignorance, is of course difficult to nlamhf Maharajah amracesrhvhaeaejmnaur merchants 0 s r e e opeou_uf r l ttdlsaonioundur India, interfere,he o whose e Governmentn o d n t eh Alreadyas thprosperitytaohtuelo should question—that of affectedintercourse countries bete roifu reos rbseye.

Montgo mery, the late Governor of the Punjab, dated Jan., 1863. The rates are those levied on goods exported from the Pun jab to Cashmere by the Jumna and Bannihal road, which are considerably lower than those levied on any other road, as the Rajah is anxious to make Jumna the most important place in his territories, to which it is lees entitled than almost any other town or village in his domains. The Jumna and Bannihal road is the worst of those conduct ing into Cashmere. "Percentages of duty—Sugar, 126 ; 4 molasses, 150 ; coarse sugar. 100 ; tea, 78 ; spices, &c., 19 to 200; pewter, 104; iron, 90; broad cloth, 29, ecc." Sugar is one of the most favourite articles of consumption in this country, where confectionery is made even of the reeds that grow on the river side. The lowest taxed goods are " flowered piece goods," which pay a little over 8 per cent. Anything that the people are really in want of is taxed extravagantly. The same goods have to pay taxes as high as those quoted on the Ladakh frontier, which is within the Maharajah's ter ritory. To all this must be added the petty exactions of tho officials all over Cashmere and in Ladakh, who plunder the merchant on their own account, and to give presents to the Maharajah or his Ministers by means of legal con trivances. It is, therefore, not to be wondered at that English com merce can at present not compete with that of Russia in Central Asia, to which Cashmere is th e most d i rect route. Indeed the great mystery which hangs over Central Asiais mainly due to the stupidity and rapaciousness of the Maha rajah, or rather to our own folly in not compelling him to open his country to commerce and civilisation. Had wo done so we should be able to exercise a pressure on Cabul, and the trade of the Punjab with Central Asia would have received an immense development. Cabul, Bokhara, Khokan, Tartary, &c., would have become an area of friendly commercial rivalry between Engl a nd an d R uss i a , and not, what unfortunately it is becoming now, a hotbed of intrigues danger ous to the p e aceful maintenance of our rule in India. I am not a Russophobist, but no man in his senses can contemplate with indifference the immense strides which Russia has lately been ma ki ng in the direc tion of Hindustan. People in England may say what they like, and fancy their Eastern possessions se cure i n th e bra very, the public spirit, and the wisdom of those it sends out to govern them. I deliberately affirm that the whole of Central Asia is directly, and to a sm a ll extent i ndirectly, suingdheterdtnheessinoflfutehne "rest roefstßaunsdsibe thankful policy," we have Russia, and owi ng t o t h e short taken no step which could secure us any political or com mercial advantage in countries in which British influence could easily reign supreme.

As she was very drunk and disorderly, he took her into custody. A nice little girl, about 10 years of age, was sent for, and said the prisoner, who was her mother, had not assaulted her, and never did assault her, only when she was drunk. Mr. Knox asked her what her mother was, and she laid "a milliner." The constable said she was a prostitute. The prisoner said she had two more children. Mr. Knox asked the prisoner if she would allow him to send the child to school, and to be taken away from the scenes she was likely to witness. The prisoner said she would be glad to let her go. A person here stepped forward, and said he had only lodged three weeks in the house where the prisoner re sided, and there had been frequent scenes of violence with the prisoner and those she brought home. Last night the other lodgers were aroused by the prisoner belabouring her child with a poker, and the aid of the police was called in. The prisoner's language at times was abomin able. When the child was assaulted she made her escape in a state of nudity. On examining her that morning he found she had a bruise on her arm. . The prisoner said she had not got a poker in the place. The witness said that had it not been wrested from her grasp more serious injury would have been done. The prisoner retorted that the person was in the habit of illusing his child, which ho denied. Mr. Knox said he was told the prisoner was not only a drunkard, but a prostitute. He supposed she would not like her child to be brought up like her, and ultimately be ruined. The prisoner said she would not. Mr. Knox asked the little girl whether she would like to go to school ? S he replied in the negative. Mr. Knox (who 'fits very anxious to do something, with the view of savog the child), said he was very sorry, but that, perhaps, if she had a talk with her brother, she would change her mind. The little girl, after some conversation with hor brother, consented to go to go school, and the prisoner promised to bring her to-morrow for that .purpose, entering into her own recognisanees to be of good behaviour. THAMES. SCANDALOUS CASE OF KIDNAPPING.—A young and re spectable Welch woman, named Ellen Williams, came before Mr. Partridge, with police-sergeant Cox, No. 45 K, who said she had been kidnapped by the female agent of an infamous house in the neighbourhood of Shadwell, and brought to London for the vilest of purposes. The young woman escaped from the house, and on Wednesday night slept on the timber in the London Dock. Yesterday even ing the young woman was seen by one of her countrymen, named Jenkins, sestiod on the step of a door, and sobbing loudly. Jenkins took pit; on her, and procured a lodging for her in the house of a decent matron named Ann Parry, who was present. Mi lc Parry said she never saw the young woman until yesterday, and believed her to be virtuous and respectable, and anxious to return to Wales. Mr. Partiidge questioned the young woman at great length, and she said she was in service at Llanberris Inn, kept by Mr. William Matthews, in Llanberris, in Carnar vonshiro. A London woman came there, and, on the pro mise of better wages and good treatment, induced her to leave the place and accompany her to Liverpool, whore she borrowed all the money she had in her possession, 18s. Gd., with which her fare was paid to London. On her arrival hero she was taken to a small house in a narrow street, where white and black sailors were introduced to her, and she was solicited by the woman who brought her to London and the landlady of the house to yield to the solicitations of tho rough men in the house, and threatened with violence if she did not be come as vile as the other women who frequented the house, and whom she soon discovered by their appearance, language, and conduct to be the lowest of their class. After enduring great indignity she escaped from the house, and escaped the ruin and the dreadful fate intended for her. She Wag told she must not be quiet in the house, but earn money for the; landlady by sacrificing her virtue, her modesty, and all that wa: due to a respectable woman. Mr. Partridge asked if the , - 9ung woman's clothes wore saved ? Cox replied that the clothes were at the Euston-square station, and the infamous wretch who brought Sh°,young woman to London had applied for the clothes Ana .9ould not obtain them. Mr. Partridge was very glad to hear it. He inquired if tho people who had been engaged in kidnapping the poor woman had been discovered. Cox said the young woman had given a description of the house and the street in which it was situated, but ho had not yet been able to discover it. The young woman pointed to the White Swan, a respectable public-house in High-street, Shadwell, whore there was a large figure of a Swan over the door, and said the house to which she was taken was near the White Swan. Mr. Partridge gave directions to Cox to make further inquiries, to report to him tho result, and to take care of the young woman. If Ellen Williams wished to return to Wales he would send her back at the expense of the poor box fund. WESTMINSTER. AN Ann. EistAlL—A man about 30 years of age , of bad appearance, who gate the name of Michael was Carrea, placed at the bar, charged With being found in the area of a gentleman's house for an unlawf ul purpose. Jane Cowley, servant at 73, Clevoland-street, Pimlico, said that on the previous evening she found the prisoner in her master's area, and had no doubt that he had been attempting something dishonest. She had occasion side Lo tt the larder hastily, there found the prisoner by the of it ; the door had been -unfastened, and the larder was not as she had loft it some time before. Prisoner—l reme mber, young woman, I asked you if you would be so kind as give Me a little relief, and stood by your side. Wit ness —Yes, you stood by my side while i held you there. I caught hold of you, and then you promis i e l d eless ; r fl let you go, to wait w hile I went u p and asked my mistress what I should do; and when I came back you were gone, and I had to run down tho street after you and collar you . and bring you back ? Mr. Selfo—Did you do so? Witness—Yes ; and there's a woman next door to us says that a man like this tried to take some linen away from her; and he had unlocked and opened our larder door just as I came upon him. Prisoner—Pm a carpenter by trade, and I wanted a little money to got my tools out, and I just went into the area to ask for some assistance. Prisoner was remanded. A BOON TO SMOKERS.—Various have been ,the ideas and ingenious the contrivances to arrive at a very simple result, viz., the nipping off the end of the cigar. All, however, have been found either too expen sive or useless, and the old plan, the penknife, or the more primitive means, the teeth, has been for some time the universal practice. But Mr. Butcher, of the Lyceum Por tico, has at last discovered the very thing that was wanted, and he has accordingly patented a " cigar nipper," both certain and simple in its operation, which, while it serves the very useful purpose of a ring for keys, can be made so ornamental that it may be worn as a charm. That the nipper may become universally used, the price has been fixed so ridiculously low that he who can afford even two pence for a cigar will not find himself ruined by investing another penny ii a cigar nipper.
