BIONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCI, TWELVE o'CLocK. The Money Market is assuming a less active appearance than it did at the end of last week. The requirements of the commercial classes for discount accommodation are not considerable, and as the supply of floating capital on offer is plentiful, the .rates for the negotiation of the best paper are tend ing In an easier direction, and 9 per cent. is the general quotation for three months' bills. The mailfrom Guayaquil has brought a remittance of £6ll 17s. 9d. on account of the dividend on the debt of Escuador. Gold to the amount of £36,000 was taken to the sank on Saturday. A report has been issued by the Eastern Exchange Bank, Liverpool, which states that there is a nomi aal. balanc e o f £ 7,466, and it is proposed to appro reaate £ 5 ,400 to provide for doubtf u l d e p en d enc i es , yl ng X 2,066 to be carried forward. The bank is under acceptances to the amount of £72,500 for account of firms which have suspended, but the securities held are estimated to realise £64,000. T he committee of Spanish Certificate-holders have issued a report of their proceedings since the date of the public meeting on the bOth of April last.

The August sessions of the Central Criminal Court com menced this day at the Old Bailey before the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs. The calendar contains a less number of prisoners for trial than usual, and the offences charged are not of that heinous character which for the last few months have had to be disposed of by the court. There are charges of wilful murder against a mother for attempting to drown her chil dren, and afterwards to commit suicide, in Somer's-town, but she is not in a state of body and mind to take her trial at the present sessions. The Recorder having charg3d the grand jury, the trials in a short time commenced. THE PERJURY BEFORE THE MAIDSTONE ELECTION COM- MITTEE. Henry Chambers, blacksmith, was indicted for having committed wilful and corrupt perjury before a select com mittee of the House of Commons appointed to try the merits of a petition presented against the return of Messrs. Lee and Whatman at the last election for the borough. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Poland prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh and Mr. M. Williams defended the prisoner. The facts of the case, briefly related, are as follows : The prisoner is an elector for Maidstone, and shortly before the last election he was at the Sun public-house, where he was introduced to Mr. Lee, one of the Liberal candidates. About a week after prisoner alleged that he again met Mr. Lee, who asked him if .£2O or £3O would be of service to him ; he, however, said he should not under any cir cumstances vote for Lee and Whatman, as his views were entirely opposed to theirs. After this he alleged Mr . Whatman came to him as he was working at his forge, and the sum offered him was then increased from £2O or £3O, to £3O or £4O. He still refused, when Mr. Lee, who was with Mr. Whatman, told his colleague to leave de fendant to him as he had had some conversation with him on a previous occasion, and that they perfectly understood each other. Defendant further alleged that Mr. Leo told him ho was a great fool for re fusing, and that when he left ho slipped a small packet into his (defendant's) pocket, which on examination he found to be two sovereigns, and which he supposed was given to him to spend in drink. Ho did not vote for , Messrs. Leo and Whatman, but for their opponents, the Conservative candidates. This was the nature of the evidence given by the defendant before the Election Com mittea, but both Mr. Lee and Mr. Whatman declared that there was not one word of truth in the whole statement ; that, in fact, it was one tissue of falsehood from beginning to end. Tho committee eventually decided that Messrs Lee and Whatman had been duly elected, and they also reported that Chambers had been guilty of wilful and corrupt perjury, and the present trial was the result of such a representation. Messrs. Lee and Whatman, tho sitting members, both attended as witnesses at the court this morning, and re peated that there was not the slightest truth in the asser tions of the prisoner. _ _ _ Mr. Sleigh, for tho defendant, addressed the jury, and said ho should call before them witnesses who saw the members going to prisoner's forge on the evening tho pri soner asserted they did, but that he could not of course go further than that. Mr. Hawkins said ho resided at Maidstone, and recol lected the last election quite well. He recollected at the election time, while he was sitting at a public-house at Maidstone one evening, seeing Mr. Lee and Mr. Whatman coming out of Chambers's forge in Pudding-lane. Mr. Brown called his attention to the fact. By the Solicitor-General—He was engaged on the side of the opponents of Messrs. Leo and Whatman during the late election. He was in London during the trial of the petition the first two days, on ono of which Chambers was examined. He did not know that Chambers was to be examined, but he learned that fact after. He did not go up to London to give evidence on the petition, but only because ho took an interest in it. He did not attend to the evidence because he had nothing to do with the proceedings. He had no other business in London except taking an interest in the proceedings. He was in the room when Chambers was examined, but not during the whole of the time. He was against the petition being pre sented, but it was a matter of perfect indifference to him how the matter went. He was paid for the services ho rendered to the Conservative candidates at the late election. H© was an inspector of voters, and ho got a guinea for his services. There were other inspectors as well as himself ; they also got a guinea. He followed no occupation at present ; he lived upon his property. Fifteen years ago he was articled to the law. Ho could not veture to swear it was not later than six o'clock in the evening when he saw Messrs. Lee and Whatman coming from the forge. He had already sworn it was later than seven. He had spoken to Mr. Goodwin, the solicitor for the petitioner, but only casually. It had nothing to do with the evidence. He would not swear before the trial of the petitioner commenced, he did not talk to Mr. Good win on tho matter. He would not swear there were not five people in the forgo. Ho would not swear there were not six. He could'nt say possibly how many there were. Ho did not know what evidence was to be offered with the exception of ttnit - orit — pOson named Kirby. When the petition was going on he first mentioned that which he had spoken to-day relative to Messrs. Lee and Whatman coming from Chamber's forgo. He told them that ho thought! he had soon to the best of his belief Mr. Leo and Mr. Whatmun coming out of Chamber's forge. He could only go the length of saying this to the best of his belief ; he would not go further than that. He first mentioned the fact of seeing Messrs. Lee and Whatman leave the forge to three or four friends in the course of a casual conversation. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This pay. M ARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO 03INIUBS PROPRIETORS AND DRIVERS.— Henry Bradish, omnibus driver, badge 8,427, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with cruelly ill-treating a horse by working it while in an unfit state. Mr. Edward Dillon Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the defendant, and Mr. Wm. Love, from the office of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, watched the case. Thos. Evans, 113 C, said that between 11 and 12 the pre vious night, while in Oxford -street, ho saw the defendant driving a pair of horses attached to an omnibus. On the defendant stopping at the Regent Circus, and just after setting down two passengers, tho near horse fell down. The horso was unfastened from the omnibus, and four or five men tried to get it up, but in vain for about twenty minutes. When the horse did get up ho (witness) found a large sore on its off shoulder of old standing, and its off hock very much swollen, it being scarcely possible to put its foot to the ground. He asked the driver if ho thought the horso was in a fit state to be worked. lie said he did not, but that he knew nothing of its condition when he started from Paddington for London-bridge. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the defendant must have found out that the horse was lame before he got to the Circus. Evans said the defendant was about to put the horse to again, but he prevented him and took it to the greenyard. One of the officers of the society who had seen the horse was in attendance. Mr. Lewis said the horse was the property of Mr. Ward, who owned several omnibuses. Mr. Ward had, on return ing from the country on Fi iday last, on seeing that the h or se was suffering from a n i n j ury, ordered it not to be worked any more, but a horsekeeper in his employ, in dis obedience of orders, had sent it out yesterday. Mr. Ward was quite willing that the horse should be destroyed. Thomas Gregory, horsekeeper to Mr. Ward, and Mr. Ward having given evidence, Mr. Tyrwhitt said as to the defendant not knowing that the horse was lame, he did not believe it, as any person accustomed to driving must have found that out before going 20 yards. Ile should fine the defendant ss. or four days, and the horse must be destroyed. It would be a matter for after consideration whether a summons should be taken out against the owner of the horse. THE BANE RATE OF DISCOUNT. On Saturday afternoon a deputation, headed by Alderman Salomons, M.P., Chairman of the Lon don and Westminster Bank, who is also chairman of a joint committee of London bankers, waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer at his official residence in Downing-street. There were present, in addition to the chairman, Mr. Gilpin, M.P., Chairman of the Metropolitan and Provincial Bank ; Mr. Lanach, Chairman of the London Joint-Stock Company ; Mr. Nicoll, Chairman of the London and County Bank ; Mr. Rodonnachie, Chairman of the Imperial Bank; Mr. Wade, Chairman of the National and Provincial Bank ; Mr. Paull, M.P. ; Mr. Chayter, of the Alliance Bank ; Mr. li'Kenna, of the National Bank of Ireland, and other gentle men. Alderman SALOMONS, in introducing the deputa tion, spoke of the disastrous effects which the pre sent system of discount must inevitably entail upon the commerce of the City. At present it was most oppressive, and people who were engaged in trade were completely crippled by it. He then read the following resolution, which had been agreed upon for presentation to the Chancellor :—" That, in the opinion of the meeting, the maintenance for so long a period of the high rate of interest fixed by the letter of the late Chancellor of the Exchequer to the directors of the Bank of England, has a tendency to retard the return of confidence necessary for the interest of commerce at home and abroad, and it is therefore desirable to seek an interview with the Government, for the purpose of representing the propriety and policy of modifying that letter so far as it prescribes a minimum rate of interest at 10 per cent." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he felt the importance of the subject, and assured the de putation that the Government would take the matter into consideration. He pointed out to the deputa tion the fact that, even though the Bank rate had been at 10 per cent., in accordance with the terms of the letter, it had not had the effect, most to be desired, of increasing the reserves. He defended the course taken by the directors of the Bank of England, and thought that they had acted for the best in the interests of all parties concerned. The deputation then withdrew. :SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, LEWES RACES-SATURDAY. The To WN PLATE (Handicap) of 50 Boys; half a mile.

MARK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday was rather pliet. Previous quotations, how ever, were supported. For barley the trade was steady, but other articles were a slow sale. Flour moved off slowly, on former terms. On the Continent the wheat trade is tolerably firm, at about late rates. The spring corn trade was quiet. At New York the amount of business doing in produce for export is small. Very moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. Linseed and rapeseed were firm, at full prices. Other seeds moved off slowly, at late rates. _ _ _ . The cake trade was steady at fully last week's currency. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat were very moderate. The supply of new produce was small, and mostly of but middling quality. The finest samples realised about 58s per quarter. For old wheat the trade was slow, at last Monday's currency. The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat. In all descriptions sales progressed slowly, at late rates. Floating cargoes of grain met a slow sale at late prices. The supply of barley on sale was only moderato. The trade was steady at full quotations. Malt was in slow request at late rates. The supply of oats on sale was tolerably largo. Good and fine parcels were firm in prico ; otherwise, the trade was slow at about late prices. The trade for beans was dull on former terms. Peas met a slow sale at about late rates. A sample of new grey peas was in the stands. Flour moved off slowly. In prices no change took place. CURRENCY PER IMP. MRASIIRE.

The demand for it was somewhat heavy, and prices had a drooping tendency. The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts was moderately good, and for the most part of good quality. The receipts from Ireland and Scotland were very limited. The primest breeds were in fair request at full prices. Otherwise the trade was somewhat inactive at a decline in the quotations of 2d per Blbs. The top figures were 5s 4d to 5s 6d per 81bs.

With sheep we were well supplied. Downs, half-breds Lincolns and Leicesters, sold stead il y at f u ll currencies '; but most other breeds declined 2d per 81bs. A few very inferior Downs realised 6s 4d, but the general top quota tion was 6s per 81bs. Lambs were in fair average supply, and sluggish re quest at late rates, viz., from Os 8d to is 8d per 81bs.

A CENE — MarY Ann G rogan , a young woman with a child in her arms, was charged before Mr. Alderman Besloy with being drun k and disorderly. S IN THE COURT. From the evidence of the police it appeared that between four and five o'clock on Saturday afternoon the defendant came with another woman to the police station at St. Mary Axe, and said that she wanted to see the relieving officer. She was informed that ho was not there at the time, upon which the other woman became very abusive, and the defendant followed him into the inner office. He sent fur another constable, and they both endeavoured to persuade her to leave quietly, but she re fused and threw herself on the floor, and conducted herself in a most violent manner. The defendant was known to the police as having been an inmate of the workhouse nearly all her life, but until the present occasion she had never so misconducted herself. The officers were of opinion from her unusually excited manner that the defendant must have been drunk. , lvhich a ccoun t e d f or th e The defendant that she was unde r the influence of drink, bsouitzesdaiNdvitth a fithat she was t at the peculiarity of her conduct. As if to verify this statemen t, t he poor woman, with a cry, fell down in the dock, and exc ept for the intervention of ono of the officers the poor child might have been seri ously injured as it dropped from her arms. Alderman Bosley said that this was not a case for punishment, and discharged the defendant, who was re moved from the court in a state of insensibility. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

The follewing is a correct version of the glorious rebel ballad, which was so popular in Confederate camps and homes during the war : Come, stack arms, men ! Pile on the rails ; Stir up the camp-fire bright ! No matter if the canteen fails, We'll make a roaring night. Here Shenandoah brawls along, There burly Blue Ridge echoes strong— To swell the Brigade's rousing song, Of Stonewall Jackson's Way. We see him now : the old slouched hat Cocked o'er his eye askew; The shrewd, dry smile; the speech so pat— So calm, so blunt, so true ! The Blue Light Elder knows 'em well ; Says he, " That's Banks; he's fond of shell, Lord, save his soul 1 we'll give him."—Well, That's Stonewall Jackson's Way. Silence ! Ground arms ! Kneel all I Caps off ! Old Blue Light's going to pray. Strangle the fool that dares to scoff ; Attention it's his way, Appealing from his native sod In forma pauperis to God, " Lay bare thine arm ! Streteh forth thy rod ! Amen!" That's Stonewall's Way. He's in the saddle now : Fall in ! Steady ! the whole Brigade. Hill's at the ford, cut off ; we'll win His way out, ball and blade. What matter if our shoes are worn ? What matter if our feet are torn ? Quick step ! we're with him before morn, That's Stonewall Jackson's Way. The sun's bright lances rout the mists Of morning ; and, by George ! Hero's Longstroet, struggling in the lists, Hemmed in an ugly gorge. Pope and his Yankees—whipped before ! "Bay'nets and grape !" here Stonewall roar. " Charge, Stuart ! Pay off Ashby's score, In *,tonewall Jackson's Way !" Ah, maiden! wait, and watch and yearn For news of Stonewall's band. Ah, widow ! read, with eyes that burn. T hat ring upon thy hand. Ah, wife ! sow on, prey on, hope on, Thy life shall not be all forlorn, The foe had better ne'er been born That gets in Stonewall's Way. THE ADELPHI Pic-Nic.—•The seventh annual pic-nic of the Adelphi Theatre Company took place on Thursday last, when a most delightful day was passed. The River Queen (one of the Citizen Company's Boats), commanded by Captain G. Ayres, was chartered expressly for the occasion, and proceeded amidst the strains of Mr. Riviere's excellent brass band to the Island Hotel, Twickenham Ait, where a most substantial dinner was served by Mrs. Mayo ; dancing was kept up with great spirit the whole of the day. Amongst the company we observed Mrs. Kelley, Mrs. Chatterley, Mrs. A. Mellon, Miss Furtado, MTs. Billington, Miss H. Simms, Mr. Benj. Webster, Mr. W. S. Webster, Mr. Benjamin Webster, jun., Mr. J. L. Toole, Mr. Paul Bedford, Mr. J. W. Anson, Mr. R. Phillips, Mr. Leicester Buckingham, Mr. Billiugtou, and Mr. Furtado. THE Count—According to the latest arrange ments her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses Prince Leopold and Princesses Louise and Beatrice, and attended by the ladies and gentlemen of the suite, is now expected to arrive at Windsor Castle on the 22d inst.., when the Queen will receive from the Town Council a congratulatory address on the occasion of the marriage of Princess Helena. Her Majesty will remain one or two nights at the castle. During the absence of the Court from Windsor various portions of the Castle aro un dergoing renovation, including the portico in front of the grand staircase and the apartments over the library on the North Terrace.— Windsor and Eton News. THE NEEDLE-GUN.—The invention of the needle gun, it appears, is now claimed by Ireland. Captain James Whitley is named as the inventor, and as having had a breech-loading needle-gun made in 1823 by Messrs. Tru lock, of Dublin. Discouraged by the indifference shown at Woolwich to Captain Norton's elongated shot, Captain Whitley did not carry out the design he had of patenting his invention, the secret of which has been mastered by another. Such is the story told in Ireland. SAD OCCURRENCE.—Between 1 and 2 o'clock yesterday morning Sir Gilbert East lost his life near the pier at Ryde in a manner which has not yet been satis factorily explained. He has been in the habit for many years of'spending the yachting season at Ryde, and this year his fine schooner yacht the Lalla Rookh has been out daily during the regattas on the Solent. She was at her moorings, about 400 yards from the pier head, on Satur day afternoon, when Sir Gilbert, accompanied by a female companion, came ashore in his own cutter and spent the evening in Ryde. Between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning he passed through the toll-gates with the same person, as the piermen supposed, to go on board his.-yacht. It was high water, and raining heavily at the time, and before they could have got half way down the pier the attention of the few persons at the gate-house at that hour was excited by the piercing shrieks of a woman. Capt. Craske, one of the oldest officers of the Royal Mail Isle of Wight steamboat service, happened to be at the toll-house in the performance of his duty at the time, and Cousins, the pier watchman, and others ran in the direction from which the cries proceeded. On reaching the roundhouse they found a lady in a state of great excite ment, and a voice from the water was distinctly heard crying out, "Save me ! Oh ! save a drowning man ! I'm_ all right !" Adams, one of the crew of Mr. Hudson's yacht the Caroline, who was among the few pre sent, ran to his cutter alongside the slip about 250 yards distant, but before he and his mates could get back to the spot whence the cries came all traces of any person in the water were lost. The search was continued for several hours, but without avail, and although the spot has been dry twice since the morning the body has not yet been re. covered. Sfr Gilbert's companion returned to the toll house, and subsequently went off in the cutter of the Lalla Rookh, the crew of which had been awaiting the arrival of their owner at the pier gates, but on seeing him approach had hastened off to the pier head, where their boat was moored, and where they had been out of hearing of the alarm excited by the sad event. It is said that Sir Gilbert was an excellent swimmer, so that the circumstances of his death appears the more extraordinary. A CANOE EXCURSION.—On the 6th instant the mate of the Canoe Club, Mr. James Inwards, left Inverness in his cedar canoe, the Myra, for a tat) down the Caledonian Canal and some of the grandest of the Scotacdh lakes. The canoe, which is 18ft. long and 22in. br c o ted, weighs only 361 b., and, as might have been ra created some astonishment on Scotch waters. h reached Foyers the same afternoon, after a roug p t as o s ß ale, down Loch Ness. The proposed route is by canal - navie, along Loch Etive, down the Awe to Loch Awe, into Lochs Fyne, Long, Lotnond, and probably Loch Katrine —Scotsman. 1231 4 191 19 1171 i I 90y 89y 561 I 130 933 9 2O 105: i 5 ,ITIES.

ORIGIN OF THE MINISTERIAL WHITEBAIT DIN NER.—The Ministerial Whitebait Dinner has its session, says the Athenmum, as regularly as that of Parlia ment, but its origin has probably been forgotten by many. In the old days, when the close of the session was near, Sir Robert Preston (d P. for Dover) used to invite George Rose, Secretary of the Treasury, to his Fishing Cottage, on. Dagenham Lake, Essex. Fish, venison, and rare wines graced the board, at which Mr. Pitt subsequently became an annual guest. To better accommodate the Minister, Sir Robert transferred the place of meeting to Greenwich ; and to the number of invited guests were added Lord Camden and Mr. Long (afterwards Lord Farn borough). As besides these other guests were soon invited, an arrangement was agreed upon that Sir Robert should only in future contribute a buck and champagne annually, and that the other guests should defray all remaining ex penses. Thus matters stood till Pitt's death ; after which Sir Robert continued to send out the invitations annually, generally to Cabinet Ministers, and usually then for Trinity Monday. This arrangement continued till Sir Robert's death in 1834. Ford Farnborough then issued the invi tations ; and since that time the " Fish Dinner" has grown into an annual institution, at which the Cabinet Ministers and their friends celebrate the supposed end of toil and the beginning of an imaginary holiday.

He arrived late at a clergyman's bungalow up the country, and was much fatigued. After supper, fancy his dismay when his host said, "Mr. Macaulay, 1 positively cannot let you retire till you state your opinion as to the Number of the Boast." I answered on the spot, " I have no doubt as to what was foreshadowed by that mystical number—the British House of Commons ! The numbers elected-658—the three clerks at the table, the sergeant-at-arms, and the deputy sergeant, the librarian, and the two doorkeepers, making 666," and I rushed to my couch.

In the manufacturing districts there has been little improvement in the general state of business during the week. At Manchester both cloths and yarns have been a shade cheaper, while in the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, little change of importance can be reported.

The Emperor Maxi milian was placed in Mexico to control and render available to the civilised world this Empire, then in a state of deplorable anarchy. As he has failed in establishing his authority throughout his dominions even with the aid of France, he is not likely to succeed when France withdraws. By strong go vernment and colonisation the United States will render these Provinces a useful acquisition, thereby fulfilling towards them the duty Maximilian has failed in. ‘ By the aid of the Union Maximilian will pro bably succeed in firmly establishing a good govern ment in the Southern Provinces, and thus the end contemplated will be fulfilled.
