MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the general discount market there is a very active demand for money, and the rate, for even the best bills, is fully 4 per cent. A further sum of £45,000 in gold was taken into :the Bank yesterday. The directors of the Great Western of Canada have recommended a dividend at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum out of the half-year ending 31st July, and to carry forward the balance of £3,265 to • the next account. The Erie Railway Company, through Messrs. J. S. Morgan and Co., have invited applications for an issue of - EBOO,OOO sterling bonds, bearing in terest at 6 per cent. at the price of £75, repayable at £lOO at the end of ten years. The bonds are to be convertible at any time within that period at the option of the holder into ordinary stock of the company at the rate of five shares of $lOO for every £lOO bond. The price of £75 per £lOO bond is payable by instalments as under :-15 on application, £5 on allotment, £l5 on the 28th October, £l5 on the 20th November, £l5 . on the 20th December, and £2O on the 15th January, 1866. Taking into consideration that Ouse bonds are redeemable in 1875—i.e., ten years hence—at £lOO the emission price of £75 after deducting the allowance of discount on prepayment, and the interest on the bonds from the Ist instant, is reduced to £6O, paying therefore to immediate investors 10 per cent. per annum. There is, beyond this, the very great advantage of the option of con version of each bond into five of the existing fully paid-up shares, at any period during the whole term of 10 years. The contract for the operation also con tains a spacial clause, precluding the company from overriding the •present issue of bonds by the crea tion of any subsequent security. The price on the Stock Exchange is 2 prem., and the operation has been favourably received. .; Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 68f. 50c. Consols have closed this afternoon at a decline of 1 per cent., and the market as well as the other de partments of the house has exhibited a very quiet appearance. The latest prices are 89k for money, and 89i for the account. There has been almost an entire absence of speculation, and the invest ments, as usual on Saturday, have been very limited. American Securities continue to be very popular, with every probability of b ecoming more so in the course of the next few weeks. In the Foreign Market business is very dull, and prices are almost unaltered. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 741 8 ; do. Consolides, 49i 508 ; Mexi can, 25 4 ; do.

In the Railway Share Market there has been very little animation, and prices have generally shown less firmness. Great Northern A Stock has declined Metropolitan 155., South Eastern 10s., and Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North Western each ss. ) BO ' joy fled The Foreign and Colonial lines are without any malterial alteration in respect to prices.

BOW-STREET. THE ROBBERY AT PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY'S.-This morn ing Spooner, Sollen, and titton, the former a cashier, and the latter two clerks in the employ of Mr. Holloway, of the Strand, were placed before Mr. Flowers, on remand, charged with robbing their master of various sums of money. Mr. Sleigh said all he should do at the present examina tion was to prove the handwriting of. the prisoners to vari ous entries in the books of Mr. Holloway, with respect to the charges for postage stamps. He did not then pro pose to go into any other matter connected with tke case. Mr. Henry Holloway said he was manager to his brother, Mr. Thomas Holloway. The defalcations were discovered in consequence of his brother remarking upon the large amount charged for:postage, which led to a thorough inves tigation of the books by the accountant. Ho called Spooner on receiving the aci:ountalit's report, and told him he charged him with robbing the house, and afterwards he, with the other prisoners, was given into custody. Mr. Mitchell referred to the cash-book, and on the 4th of January ho found an entry in Spconer's handwriting for £6 los. for postage stamps. On referring to the ledger, folio 489, for the same transaction, hefound the entry in the handwriting of Sellen as for 103. only. On the 6th January there was an entry of £4 for postage stamps in Spooner's handwriting, and in the corresponding entry . in the ledger it was entered as 10s., he believed by Utton. There was also other entries of a similar description in the cash-book, and where £7 had been entered for postage stamps, which was posted in the ledger by Sellen as 10s . . _ . • . In cross-examination by the solicitor attending for one of the prisoners, the witness said there were a number of erasures in the ledger, but more in the cash book. The erasure was in the £ column, as if a certain figure had been entered and afterwards removed. Mr. Pater (who appeared for one of the prisdners)—By whom no one can tell. Mr. Sleigh—That will be a question for a jury. "Mr. Willes applied that some of the property taken from his client, Spooner, might be given up to his wife, who was now, in consequence 'of 'the incarceration of her hus band, nearly without the means of living. 'Mr. Sleigh, after conferring with Mr. Holloway, said he was obliged to Object to the application, as it was felt that the property had been purchased with the stolen money. Mr. Holloway said he had discovered that Spooner bad spent £9O in jewellery in the space of two months, his income from his situation not at all justifying such itn outlay. _ _ The application was refused. Mr. Taylor, who attended to watch 'the 'case on behalf of Mr. Locke, the landlord of the Holyrood Palade Tavern, in the Strand, complained that his client had been brought here on two occasions by a summons, calling upon him to produce his books, and that on neither occasion had he been examined. Such a course was excessively inconvenient, as it took him from his business. If there were any charges to be made against him, he thought they ought at once to be gone into. Mr. Sleigh said it would be thought to frustrate the ends.of justice if he was compelled to say what was going on. Mr. Flowers did not think that the witness had any cause to complain. The prisoners were then remanded. Cruel Swindle at Oxford .--411.- ----- During the past week the adage, as applied to marriage, " There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip," has been remarkably verified by an event which has afforded much gossip amongst all classes at Oxford, and elicited no little amount of commiseration for those who have unfOrtunately been victimised. The chief personage - in . thiS romance is a certain indi vidual who adopts the name of Wade-Chater, who some two months since took up his abode in that city, and pro fessed to be an engineer in connection with the carriage works of the:Great Western Railway. He obtained a lodging in . Thames-street, St. Aldate's, with a respect able widow, and shortly after he had resided in the house it appears he made • overtures •of marriage to the daughter, which were accepted, and it was arranged that the wedding should come off at an early day. Having thus far succeeded in one object his efforts next appear to have been directed to,raising the necessary funds for completing the happy event, and an extraordinary stroke of good fortune came opportunely to th,6 fellow's aid, by, as he alleged, the decease of his godfather, a gentlenianof the name of Wade, who left him, as he- repres,snted, rent-roll of .f.,8,000 . 0r £lo,ooi a year, derived from Datchet Park, near Windsor, exclusive of personal property esti mated at '.£25,000. This circumstance was duly commu- nicated to the family, and the young lady's good fortune was looked on with no little amount of envy by the fair: sus. No doubt seems to have entered the minds of any one, and the idea of the genuineness of the story was further strengthened by the , - fact that a considerable amount of correspondence was carried on and telegraphic messages were continually arriving, and ultimately a will was produced, purporting to be executed by Mr. Wade, bequeathing the estate to Chater ThuS it was that matters progressed until the happy day drew near, which was fixed for Thursday, Sept. 14, but there was some hitch in the legal arrangements, and the affair was postponed, and Tuesday . last, the 19th inst., was named for the consummation of the happiness of the affianced pair, and immense - nnmbers congregated in the High-street, cur:ous to witness the cortdge, which was to be of a splen did character. But, alas! another hitch occurred, which entirely altered the curient of the proceedings; the.hride= •groom was not forthcoming,.and there were ugly rumours that his career had been one of gross deception. Extensive preparations had been in Progress for semi time in antici pation Of. the event. • A . suburban villa at Summers-town had. been taken- on 4, deass for several years, orders were given to a large upholstery firm, and the house was fur- . nished in splendid style ; a „wedding trousseau, of an ela borate character, was prepared ; Mr. Boffin was engaged to provide a wedding breakfast' and cake suitable for the occasion, ' with Winesi &e., of choice vintage ; and Mr. .Stroucl's stud of horses and carriages were to be brought into requisition, that gentleman's instructions being to prepare ten pairs of groys—a work of no little difficulty. --which, however, was fully accomplished. The ceremony was to be performed ,at St. John the Baptist Church (Merton College Chapel), the service was to be choral, and the choirmen and choristers were to be made partici pators in the festivities on the occasion. Every member of the family was to share in the fellow's good fortune, a set tlement was to be made on one and another, and the bride Was also to be allowed a handsome jointure. But all were doomed to disappointment ; the bridegroom failed to put in an appearance, and has not s i nce be e n heard of. It would appear that he alleged that it was necessary he should visit Datchet for the purpose of arranging for the spending of the honeymoon, and also for doing some legal business in London, and on Sunday he departed by the Great Western Railway for that purpose, appointing to meet the brothers of the young lady at Slough, in order that they might accompany him to his estate at Datchet. They according;y went to Slough, and after waiting in vain at the station some hours for the arrival of the young heir, they proceeded to Datchet, where they ascertained that no persons of the names of Wade or Chat:r were ever known in the locality, and that there was no such plat: as Datchet Park. For the first time misgivings began to flash upon them that they, their sister, and the whole family had been made the victims of a cruel deception. They then proceeded to London to an ad dress given by Chater, which proved fictitious, and after consulting a directory a person of the name was discovered. Thither they hastened, but no clue to the missing one was found. Here their mission ended, and they became the bearers of the ill news to their friends. There, of course, was consternation, and the effect upon the young lady can be readily imagined ; and as it is said ill news travels fast, ' ' it came to the ears of the various tradesmen who had been so liberally patronised. The upholsterer lost no time in conveying the furniture back to his warehouse; the wed ding cake, breakfast, and wines were treated in the same manner, though the latter had considerably diminished in bulk, and, worst of all, it transpired that the poor widow, who was to have resided with her daughter in their new residence at Summerstown had broken up her home, and the fellow hid succeeded in obtaining not only the value of most of her furniture, bat her savings, amounting to about £3O. Another member of the family was induced to part with £lO. A female friend, the dressmaker, also suffered to the extent of £lO. The dresses, 3:c., as well as the suits of clothes, were not paid for, ant it is said that he . obtained the greater portion of the young lady's clothing uuderpretenee of conveying it to.Datchet Parkin readiness for their arrival. The.-affair has created an Aninunt of excitement in this city which has not existed since the time Dick Swallow, the then messenger of New College, was transformed and introduced by the fellows of that society as" Sir George Bayswater," to the ball at the Star AsseMbly Room, given in honour :of Mr. Donald Maclean's return as member of Parliament for Oxford. The bride cake, which was of the most costly character, was exhibited in the shop win dow of Mr. Boffin, and was an object of attraction to.ad miring crowds. • Cards of admission to the Church were issued, and Merton-street, long before the hour at which the ceremony was fixed to take place, was crowded by per sons of both sexes, who *ere anxious to get a sight of the wedding party. The whole female population seemed to be on the qui vice, and some time elapsed befOre they could be persuaded that the affair was a swindle. MARKETS—This Day. COVENT GARDEN.

SELLING BEER DURING THE PROHIBITED HOURS. — Amelia Guest, the keeper of a chandler's shop, at 11, Tower-street, St. Martin's-lane, appeared before Mr. Knox to answer the summons of Inspector West, of the F divi sion, of having unlawfully opened her house for the sale of fermented liquors before the hour of one in the afternoon of Sunday, the 10th September. Mr. E. Dillon Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the defendant. Inspector West said that on Sunday, the 10th, about half-past 10 in the morning, he saw a woman in the defen dant's shop, drinking from a jug. The woman, seeing him, put the jug under her shawl. He took the jug from the woman, and said to the defendant, " You see this, Mrs. Guest, you are selling beer during the prohibited hours," to which she replied, " I am very sorry, but I hope you will take no notice of it." In answer to Mr. Lewis, the inspector said he did not remember what was paid for the beer. Mr. Lewis having addressed the magistrate on the de fendant's behalf, and in mitigation of the fine, Mr. Knox imposed a fine of lOs and costs. WESTMINSTER. SHOCKING CASE OF JUVENILE DEPRAVITY.—WiIIiam Boyle, a boy only nine years of age, was charged with stealing 10s., tho property of Caroline Evans, a servant out of place, residing with the boy's mother, a poor but re spectable hard-working widow, renting a room at 30, Queen-street, Pimlico. Caroline Evans. said she went to bed two nights ago with the prisoner's mother. He slept in the same room. She hung her dress over a chair, in the pocket of which there was half a sovereign, a ss. piece, and some coppers, all she possessed. At nix next morning prisoner got up and went out, and his mother also went to work at eleven o'clock. Witness missed the half-sovereign, and waited till Mrs. Boyle returned to dinner. The latter knowing the pilfering habits of the boy, went in search of him with witness, and they found him in the High-road, Knights bridge, with another boy. They ran away on seeing wit ness, and prisoner passed the boy some money, which Mrs. Boyle took possession of (10d.) when she caught him. A constable caught the prisoner. Mrs. Boyle corroborated. She said she had four children, one being at service. Prisoner was a bad boy. He left his home when he liked, and returned at his pleasure.' He had gone to all her friends and acquaintances borrowing money, and had robbed her of money several times, be sides other things. She took 10d. in copper from kis com panion, and had ascertained that . he had spent Gs. on boats on the Serpentine that day. He was perfectly incorrigible, and were ho not sent away soon something very lament ' able must befall him. Prisoner held down his head and said that he took the money. In answer to Mr. Selfe, the mother said she earned 10s. ; week, but would try to pay ls. 6d. for the prisoner at a reformatory. Prisoner was sentenced to the reformatory school at Feltham for three years. Mr. Selfe said he would order the mother to pay only ls. a week, for which she was very grateful ; and ordered Mr Hunt, the chief usher, to give the poor girl Evans 10s. out of the poor bo'x to repair her loss. THAMES. SERVANT-GIRLS AND THEIR SWEETHEARTS.—" So MUCH FOR BUCKINGHAM ! "—A smartly-dressed young woman, name Mary Buckingham, late servant to Capt. and Mrs. Vaux, of Mornington-road, Bow-road, complained to Mr. Paget that her mistress had discharged her on Wednesday last, directly after the termination of a trjal at the Central Criminal Court, where she gave evidence. her mistress was dissatisfied with the result of the trial, and dismissed her without any notice whatever. Mr. Paget said he had neither the power nor the inclina tion to interfere in the case. He was of opinion the appli cant was very properly dismissed by Mrs. Vaux. He was surprised the girl should come before him for redress. She was left in charge of her master's house and property when Mr. and Mrs. Vaux were on the continent, and she and another servant-girl, named Honeybell, had the audacity to invite two young men named Jones and Vale to their master's house, entertained them there, exhibited Mr. Vaux's plate to them at their request, showed them where it was deposited, went to the play with them, and while returning home with them allowed one of the men to have possession of the street door key, and he held it up in the Mile-end-road and showed it to his companion. Another night the applicant went to the theatre with her cousin and one of the young men, leaving no one in charge of her.. master's house. On that night the residence of Mr. Yana was entered by thieves, lighted up, and plundered of all the silver plate and other valuable property. That rob bery was caused by the neglect and imprudent conduct of the applicant, Mary Buckingham, who formed an acquaint ance with strange men, who represented themselves to be single who turned out to be married, violated the trust re posed ill her, and left the residence of her master and mis tress unguarded, uncared for, and a prey to burglars. The Applicant said her husband would not pay her any wages. Mr. Paget thought that Mr. and Mrs. Vans were quite justified in what they had done. The applicant as a ser vant ought to have been watchful of their interests in their absence, and not entertained young men in the house and divulged where the plate was deposited. Her conduct had been characterised by gross levity and want of faithfulness and discretion, and he would not employ her as a servant on any account. Miss Buckingham left the witness-box very much cha grined and out of humour. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, said the two men Jones and Vale, the " sweethearts" of the girls, escaped at the Sessions. Mr. Paget—l committed them for trial after a very long investigation here, in which the girl who has just left the box was the principal witness. The grand jury returned a true bill. Mr. Smith—Yes, sir, on the trial the petty jury acquitted them. Another man named Brown was introduced to the house by the girls and he has not boon taken.

Wood) At the Session-house, Woodbridge, Suffolk, Friday, Sept.. 22. FALCONER V. CRATTERTON This was an application for au injunction by the plaintiff, Mr. Edward Falconer, of Drury-lane Theatre, against the defendant, Mr. Frederick B. Chatterton, to restrain the defendant from opening the theatre on Saturday, this evening, and for a dissolution of partnership, which had existed between the plaintiff and defendant since 1862. Mr. Henry J. Hunter appeared in support of the appli cation (instructed by Mr. John Strutt, solicitor) ; and Mr. Downing Bruce (instructed by Messrs. Walter and Moojer) represented the defendant. From the statement of counsel it appeared that the plaintiff had first employed defendant in 1861 as manager of the Lyceum Theatre, of which plaintiff was then pro prietor. In August, 1862, plaintiff purchased from Mr. E. T. Smith the lease of Drury-lane Theatre for £5,000 for the residue of a term of seven years, and subject to a yearly rent of £1,500. The plaintiff expended large sums of money in decorating the theatre, and employed the defendant as manager. In March, 1863, plaintiff became seriously ill, and his health was so impaired that he was unable to at tend to business. The plaintiff was therefore induced t 3 take the defendant as a partner, and a draught deed was prepared by the solicitor of the plaintiff, who was at that time also the solicitor of the defendant, and read over to the plaintiff and executed by him. By the agreement plaintiff was to have two-thirds, and the defendant the remaining third of the profits. A prosperous business was carried on under the direction of the defendant. In March, 1864, another deed of partnership was executed, by which the deed of March, 1863, was altered and varied by the second partnership, the plaintiff and defendant were to be entitled to equal shares in the profits of the theatre, and the profits to arise for the right to perform any drama, or comedy, or dramatic writings of the plaintiff, either in London or the provinces. In case of dissolution of partnership by six months' notice, the defendant should be entitled to with draw a sum of £3,675, paid by him to plaintiff for partner ship capital. The plaintiff now stated that the last named deed had never been perused by him, and that when he signed it, ho was so ill that his hand had to be guided. This, however, was denied by the affidavit of the defen dant, and now asked the Court to interfere by appointing a receiver, dissolving the partnership, and granting an in junction restraining the opening of the theatre this (Sa turday) evening. His Honour refused to appoint a receiver or grant the injunction prayed for, and ordered the cause to stand over till the first day of next term. LINGWOOD V. TILE STOWMAIMET PAPERMAItING COMPANY (LIMITED). This was another application for an injunction, and specially appointed to be heard to-day. It is a question of considerable importance to manufacturers, the application b e i n g for an injunction to restrain the working of the abovenamed paper mills, on the ground that they dis charged noxious fluids and other foul matter into the river so as to damage the plaintiff's property. Mr. Henry Phear (instructed by Messrs. Pownall, Son, and Cross) appeared in support of the application, and Mr. Downing Bruce (instructed by Messrs. Kimbcr and Ellis) represented the defendants. His Honour refused to grant the injunction, and ordered the case to stand over till the 9th of October, the defendants in the meantime to file affidavits. EXTRAORDINARY CAPTURE.—Last week two gentlemen of Devizes were fishing in the lake in Lord Methuen's park at Corsham Court, when one of them hooked au eel, and as he was about to land it, a large jack made a voracious spring at it, and succeeded in getting it into its jaws. The eel, however, before the jack could disable it, slipped a portion of its body through the jack's gill, and unable to dislodge it, the jack was pulled to land with its prey in its mouth. Tho eel weighed a pound and a half, the jack upwards of seven pounds.— Devizes Gazette. At Barcelona the recrudescence of cholera con tinues.

F r W re A n lt t formed pamphlet the occasion which cc a s ( i a o c l - 1. co r T cli i n E g of the introduction of the leader of the League to its his torian really assumes the proportions of a book. Wo aro reluctantly compelled t o res i st th e t emp t a ti on of summaris ing this, the first considerable production of Cobden's pen. It was from first to last a protest against the ralmerstonian foreign policy, and represented views from which Cobden never in his after life in the slightest iota swerved, and which ho never ceased to present to the nation, un influenced by the fair weather of popularity, undeterred by the foul weather of temporary seasons of alienation, when England wa s in one of its nitermittent war fevers. These opening sentences from the preface are remarkably characteristic of the man, and are of univerhal application in English history—as pertinent in 1865 as they were in 1835. " The following pages were written principally with a view to endeavour to prove the erroneous foreign policy of the Government of this country. English statesmen of every age, down even to the present day, have one and all lost sight of that distinguishing feature which is peculiar to the insular situation of Great Britain. If we go back to the year 1805, when Nelson destroyed the 1 remains of the French navy at Trafalgar, these islands were thenceforth as secure against foreign molestation as though they had formed a portion of the moon's territory; yet from that time down to 1815 we waged in cessant war, and incurred £100,000,000 of debt for interests purely continental. Our European commerce yields but a poor set-off against the expenses of the war. The hundred days of Napoleon cost us £10,000,000, the interest of which at 5 per cent. is £2,000,000. Now, our exports to all Europe of British manufactures amount to about £18,000,000 annually: and taking the profit at 10 per cent., it falls short of £2,000,00. So that all the profit of all our merchants, trading with all Europe, will not yield sufficient to pay the yearly interest of cost of thelast 103 days' war ou the Con tinent, leaving all the other hundreds of millions spent pre viously as so much dead loss.—M'Gf!citrist's Lye of Cobden. ioi 10 100 1 1011 101} I 551 6 9 ~~ 1 li
