MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A very good inquiry for discount acccommodation has prevailed in the open market. The rates remain at 2i 3 per cent. Telegrams from Vienna announce the suspension of the mercantile house of Messrs. J. G. Schuller and Co. The firm was old and very respectable, but its business is supposed to have declined. It is not thought that any of the loss will fall on this country. There was a withdrawal yesterday from the Bank of England of 10,000 sovereigns for Alexan dria. The dissentient allottees of shares in the Estates Investment Company are to hold a meeting on Thursday next. The prospectus has appeared of the General Estates Company, which proposes to obtain land in and near London, to create ground-rents, and make advances, &c., to contractdts and others. This description of business is generally considered to be a very profitable one, and the directors are business men holding good positions in the commercial world. The capital is fixed at £250,000, but only half the amount is to be first issued in shares of £2O each. Two O'CLOCK. - - At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 10c. Heavy.

Letter from the South. The following letter, from a Southern gentleman to a friend in Edinburgh, is interesting as showing the state of feeling in the South since its subju- gation : Columbia, South Carolina, May 23, 1865. The blow was sudden and entirely unexpected. Matters had gradually culminated to that point that the surrender of General Lee necessitated the capitu lation of General Johnston. The principal causes that led to this result was the fact that the Southern Confederacy was fighting such fearful odds—five to one at least—directly, and the whole world besides indirectly; for all the Governments supported the United States Government, and the only sympathy we had was from citizens of Great Britain (a large number, I believe). I could never believe until now that the Governments of England and France would be so wanting in real statesman ship as to allow this country to become re united, and I am satisfied that the future will prove that their true policy was to interfere, and recognise the Southern Confederacy. If we had got our irouclads in 1863 we could have raised the blockade, supplied our exhausted country, and to day have been free and independent. We have been overwhelmed ; not conquered. We feel no loss of manhood. Nobly we contended against the fearful odds—gave up our all for our cause—" The right of self-government." The Yankees could not conquer our men. They had to resort to a war upon our women and children—our homes. Sher man's army publicly declared that. I heard many of them say so myself. Most ruthlessly did they carry out their design. The track of Sherman's army—some 40 to 50 miles wide and 400 to 500 miles long--through it he carried fire and sword— nothing left in his path but smoking ruins anddeso lation ; live-stock of every description driven off, or killed, for his army ; killed what they could not carry away ; all the grain and produce not con sumed by his army burned or destroyed : all the towns in the track more or less burned ; women and children left houseless and starving. All this in the 19th century, by a Christian army ! I and upon those they, a short time ago, called their brothers ! And all for what ? Why, for our simply asserting the great principle of the right of self government—a principle upon which this Govern ment is founded, and for which their fathers and ours fought only 90 years ago. With all these cir cumstances against us, we should still have con quered if the Yankees had not called in the negro to their help. The negro did not render them much assistance in fighting ; but they took him from his labour and seriously injured our indus trial pursuits. The negro has given us no trouble by insubordination ; but he could not withstand that which was held out to him, to do nothing and be fed and clothed—his idea of liberty. The Yankees (except in the case of a small number of genuine, though mistaken phi lanthropists) care nothing about the negro, except to use him. Sherman's army robbed the negroes here in Columbia (that I saw) and through the country, just as thoroughly as they did the whites, and many a poor slave they carried away came back to his master, saying " he had seen enough of the Yankee." Hundreds perished in the track of his army. At first, I thought a liberal policy would prevail, and something like sound statesmanship rule the North. Even Sherman, with all his infamy of burning, still had sense enough to learn, by his intercourse with the South, that the true way to settle the difficulty between the sections was to act generously, and thus prevent future trouble ; but his counsels were cast away—wild, blind, devilish fanaticism must have its way until it has burned itself out. The " Puritans," under Cromwell, the French, under Robespierre, could not be stopped ; so with the present " Puritans," their wildest passions will have sway until the whole nation, North and South, becomes sick of them— then " The King will have his own again." The sober second thought of the Northern people them selves must soon become disgusted with the set that rule at Washington now. My soul sickens, how ever, at the thought of what we must suffer in the meantime. We shall be overrun with a herd of the most avaricious, thieving, unprincipled set of men the world ever saw—the United States Government trying to get as much as possible out of us, and the army of sharpers robbing both us and the Govern ment. I think the Yankee Government intend to take all our cotton, some 172 millions to 200 millions bales, on some pretext or other, and all the other property they can lay their hands upon—in other words, we are to be generally plundered. Such is our conviction now from all we can see. I presume the Yankee Government intend to emancipate the negroes, but their great problem is " what to do with them." The Southern people, the slaveholders, care very little about it. Slavery has been gradually changing during the past fifty years. The negro of the present day is no more like the savage landed on our shores by foreign and Yankee traders (for be it always borne in mind that the Southerner was not engaged in the slave-trade, it was principally carried' on by the fathers of the very men now fighting us), some 100 years ago, than the Saxon slave of William " the Conqueror" was like the peasant of England of the present day. The process of emancipation was going on silently and gradually, but surely. We took the negro a wild beast ; to-day he is far advanced in civilisation and Christianity, clothed, and in his right mind, and his condition more improved than that of the Saxon serf during a like period. The negro was making his way up surely—the master was giving way to his advance ment—in a few years their sale at auction and separation of families would have ceased ; it had engaged the attention of all our religious bodies, and must soon have been effected ; public opinion was steadily tending that way, and the negro would have soon obtained that position in the social scale that God designed for him ; what that is or was, Ido not pretend to say. Five thousand years have shown him to be inferior to the white man, still we were willing to leave that to God to deter mine. His emancipation would then have come gradually-, like that of the Saxon slave, for no one can point out exactly when that took place. The proof of the mildness of our so-called " slavery" is in the fact that the Yankee has failed to incite the negro to deeds of revenge or murder against their masters. They were induced to leave their masters under the allurements of no " work and plenty to eat." Thousands of British subjects would have done the same during the excitement of the French revolution if an army had landed near Manchester promising plenty of food and immunity from toil, and the distribution of the nobles' estates among them. If the Yankee would only consult the Southern planters, they would cheerfully devise a scheme that would work harmoniously and prove beneficial to both classes, but I am afraid it will be managed in such a way as to produce a violent shock and antagonism between the races, in which the negro must go down. I am satisfied the Yankees mean to drive out and exterminate the negro ; they have no love for them really (I mean, of course, to ex cept always a few honest ones). Into the future, I confess, I dare not look ; what is to be unfolded God alone knows, and it is only the conviction of his superintending care that supports us in this dark and trying hour. •If the oppression becomes too great, the soldiers of an hundred battles will not submit, and a new scene in the great drama of blood will be enacted. So much for my bleeding country! The murder of Lincoln and attempt on Seward has been attempted to be put on the leaders of the Southern Confederacy by the designing politicians of the North, b u t b e assured they had no hand in it whatever ; it is not our way of doing business. Assassination is not characteristic of the South, and it was not to our interest to put Lincoln and Seward out of the way ; for we knew we could get better terms out of them than we could hope for out of Johnson and the violent clique that now rule. Johnson is a man of the lowest origin (not poor and virtuous parents even), and a renegade Southerner ; so from him we had nothing t o expect. The Southern people repudiate the imputation ; they think, of course, Lincoln met but a righteous retri bution for plunging this country in war ; but we , had no hand in it, and think the true cause lies near 'Washington itself.

Nothing shows the great change that has come over the spirit of speculation more than the aspect of Tattersall's on a Monday afternoon. For the last five or six weeks we have had but to repeat the almost stereotyped phrase, " very little business done." The room is generally well attended, but nearly the whole of the time is taken up with the settling. Men bet as heavily as they ever did, proba bly more so, but it is in a different fashion. The large sums of money which now change hands at Knightsbridge represent fox the most part transactions at the post. Book making on future events seems rapidly becoming a lost occupation. Time was when the Goodwood Stakes was one of the greatest betting races of the year, and at this period speculation in full swing. Now the utmost apathy prevails about that and the Cup, and the few quotations below are in marked contrast to the long list of prices of three or four years since. _ Claremont was in great favour among the few backers present; 9 to 2 was all that could be obtained about him, and:in some instances,we believe, hardly that. Lady Hylda did not appear to go quite so well, and Sister to the Drake andScheldt were the only horses that could be called at all in demand. For the Cup, Eltham had the call over Gladiateur. The mare we did not hear mentioned. There were a few transactions on tho Derby, which will speak for themselves.

MONDAY. The morning opened wet and stormy, but as the day wore on the heavy clouds dispersed, and a fine afternoon succeeded, thereby inducing a numerous company to patronise the course, which was in splendid order ; and if the fields were not large the sport was good, and came off as follows : The Loncksborough Stakes of 5 sous each, with 50 soya added, two-yr-olds ; colic Bst 10lb ; fillies Bst Glb ; penal ties and allowances ; the second to save his stake.

The attendance of the "free and in dependent" was very great, and consequently the proceed ings were of a very lively character. Mr. Cox was the first to make his appearance on the hustings, and as his caval cade of carriages approached the scene of action it was welcomed by his party with loud cries of " Cox for ever." Mr. Torrens next made hie appearance, and met with a like cordial reception. Alderman Lusk and Mr. Phillips' wel come was more uproarious than the other candidates, but the great feature of the opening proceedings was the arrival of the " people's" candidate, Mr. Perfitt, who drove up to the hustings in a yellow post chaise and four, with postillion to match, his supporters all wearing white hats. The writ having been read, The Returning officer came forward, and said he had called them together for the purpose of selecting two fit and proper persons for the great council of the nation, the House of Commons. He hoped they would give each gen tleman a patient hearing, and that both electors and non electors would aid him in quietly conducting the election. Mr. DENNIS said it gave him great pleasure in proposing to them their old and tried member, William Cox, who was a thoroughgoing reformer. He could fearlessly point to his attendance in the house during the session, and his vote was always to be found on the side of the people and reform. (L3ud cheers, and cries of "Gammon.") _ _ _ _ Mr. G. SHILLIBEER seconded the nomination of Mr. Cox. Mr. E. J. THOMPSON, proposed Mr. Alderman Lusk. (Great confusion.) He sought the high honour of repre senting the important borough of Finsbury in Parliament. He was a gentleman who gave his undivided attention to the interests of the borough, and therefore he confidently proposed him for the acceptance of the electors. (Uproar.) Mr. Swot seconded the nomination, Mr. TIDMARSH proposed Mr. Phillips. He was a gentle man of the greatest energy, and if they elected him he would do honour to the borough. (Hero a great deal of confusion and fighting was carried on in front of the hustings by the breaking of one of the barriers. The police tried to keep the crowd back, but for some time that was impossible, and one policeman was knocked down, and, unfortunately, received such severe injuries that he had to be carried to the hospital. A strong force of the constabulary was, however, soon brought to the spot, and as the confusion somewhat abated, Mr. GEORGE ROUTLEDGE Came forward to second the nomination of Mr. Phillips. He said he was a thoroughly good man, and as such he confidently recommended him to the electors of Finsbury. (Cries of " Bravo, George.") Mr. HorwooD proposed and Mr. TYLER seconded Mr Torrens; and Mr. LAKE proposed and Mr. G. HOLYOARE seconded Mr. Perfitt amidst the most indescribable confusion. The Returning Officer having asked whether there was any other candidate to be proposed, and no response being made, he then called the candidates forward, and each ad dressed the electors, but their eloquence was lost upon the electors, who seemed disinclined to hear anybody. How ever, each candidate occupied the post of honour for a few moments, during which, we presume, they reiterated the opinions they had been promulgating for the last three or four days. A show of hands was then called for, and was declared to be in favour of Cox and Perfitt. A poll was demanded on the part of the other candidates. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. Market opens rather quiet. Sales, probably 6,000 bales. DR. PRITCHARD. The anticipated arrival of Dr. Pritchard in Glasgow, by an early train from Edinburgh, caused a crowd of people, anxious to get a look at the notorious convict, to assemble waiting on the train at the Edinburgh and Glasgow sta tion, but they were disappointed, as the doctor had been taken out at Cowlairs. Governor Stirling having arranged for his reception, left Edinburgh by early express on Satur day morning, and, lest his own widely-known visage should attract attention, sent the prison clerk to Cowlairs station in a plain carriage to wait on the arrival of the prisoner. Mr. Ferguson, with his charge fast bound to the officers on each side, duly appeared about 11.30, and getting into the carriage almost unobserved, drove rapidly away to Duke-street prison, where he was handed over to Gover nor Stirling, in the presence of Sheriff Strathern and the assistant-surgeon of the prison. After being stripped of his clothes and clad in prison garb he was removed to the condemned cell. Five warders have been detailed to guard him, two being present with him during the day, and relieved by other two at night, while the third at tends in the corridor without. The cell for the condemned is simply two of tho common cells put into one, and fitted up for the reception of the convict and two warders. Dr. Pritchard's extensive acquaintance with subtle poisons being known and dreaded by those whose duty it is to keep the unhappy man alive till the laws he outraged avenge themselves, he will be watched with more than the usual care. Careful guard has all along been kept on him in this respect. During the course of the trial in Edin burgh, every night when he left the court his clothes wore taken off and carefully examined, and a prison suit handed to him after he had undergone a bath, and had his beard and finger nails carefully cleaned, lest some potent poison in minute form might be concealed about him. No one will now be permitted to see him, unless on special permit from the Prison Board, and the interview will take place in the presence of Governor Stirling. The demeanour of the unhappy man is a striking contrast to what it was before he left the prison for Edinburgh. Then he either assumed or naturally carried himself in a jaunty, confident way, never for a moment expressing himself as otherwise than sure of being freed after trial. Now his over-confidence has given way to prostration of both mind and body. On Saturday, •as he descended in the court-yard of the prison from the carriage his weak and tottering gait showed that he required assis tance, and he was accordingly helped by two of the warders to a room, where stimulants ware adniininstered to him. On Sunday he continued during the whole day lying in a sort of stupor, speaking not to those around him, and apparently absorbed in the greatness of his own misery. The excitement which the trial in Edinburgh gave rise to did not terminate with the verdict and the sentence; for on Friday evening about ten o'clock a report was current that Pritchard had succeeded in poisoning himself. Many and absurd were the surmises as to how he had obtained possession of the poison. Such a hold did'the report take of the public mind that messengers were despatched to the various newspaper offices from the hotels to ascertain whether there was any truth in it. The usual sources of information were, however, equally in the dark, as it was only at a somewhat late hour that they learned that there was no truth whatever in the report.—North British Daily ITIES.

Peacock and Buchan to adopt in inviting the public to inspect a ship after so lengthened a period of service afloat in salt water, on their own faith in the merits of their preparation for keeping away testacce, weeds, &c. ; however, we understand that the result has been most triumphant for these gentlemen. Officials from the Admiralty, Transport Board, Troop-Ship Department, and Emigration Board attended, to gether with several shipowners, iron shipbuilders, ships' husbands, &e., who all congratulated the inventors on its signal success ; for the ship, we are informed, as the water loft her, was found to be per fectly clean, with the exception of a little slimy excretion, and one solitary sizable barnacle which was clinging to a spot where the composition had evidently been rubbed off before leaving London last summer, the exception thus proving the rule. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE.—The Kerry Post states that the local coastguards have been much occupied for some days past in taking soundings for the shore end of the Atlantic cable, and otherwise preparing for its temporary reception on the shore at Foilhamurram, at the west end of Valentin. The operation of laying down the shore end was to bo commenced yesterday, so as to have everything prepared for the arrival of the Great Eastern. It is expected that she will be off Valentia, and that the work of splicing the ocean cable to the shore end will bo completed in time for her to proceed on her voyage wind and weather permitting, on the 12th or 13th. The Great Eastern will come within a couple of miles of the land off Valentia ; but in no case will unofficial persons be allowed to go on board, as it would interfere with the work to be done.
