The Mo ney M arket is showing renewed symptoms of activity, ow i ng to the preparations which are being made by the commercial classes for the en gagements falling due on the 10th inst., and also in consequence of the settlement to-morrow in the English Funds. The rates of the brokers for short dated bills have not varied, 9 per cent. being again the lowest quotation, and on the Stock Exchange daily loans on English Government Securities are charged 8 and 9 per cent. It has been notified by the official liquidators of the Madrid Bank, Messrs. Hart, Brothers, and Co., that a dividend of 12s. Gd. in the pound is now pay able at their offices. In the corn market this morning rather more bu siness was transacted, and prices of both home grown and foreign wheat fully maintain Monday's current quotations. In spring corn, beans, peas, and flour, no material change can be reported in values. At the Bank of England yesterday the bullion operations consisted of an inflow of 18,000 sovereigns a nd £3,000 in bar gold ; and a withdrawal of 103,000 sovereigns for shipment to Brazil and 48,000 for Buenos Ayres, making £151,000. The Herman has arrived from New York, with £6,660 in specie. The Master of the Rolls has appointed Mr. George Scott, of Bond-court, Walbrook, official liquidator for winding up the affairs of the Rhcs- Rail Iron Company (Limited.) o. According t o R eu t er ' s telegram Two from ' Paris CLocK to day, the French Rentes were 68f. 75c. Flat; some uneasiness. EO Wing to the inclement state of the weather, and its supposed adverse effect upon harvest prospects, the Funds have further receded 1 per cent, Consols being 871 1 for money, and 871 881 for the 6th proximo. Almost every class of securities is de pressed —an additional degree of depression being produced by the paucity of business. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 861 87 ; Exche quer Bills for June, 4s. prem. ; Bank of England Stock, 249 ; India 5 per Cents., 1024 103 1 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 92.

Spanish Passive Bonds have declined 1 to 181 1; Turkish 5 per Cents., / 26i -1 ; Mexican 4 to 16/ 1 ; Italian 21 to 501 s ; and the Brazilian 4 to 41 dis. United States 5-20 Bonds have receded 1 to 681 1 ; Brie Shares I to 411. Illinois have, however, advanced 1 to 751 t• Avery limited amount of business has been trans acted in the Railway Share Market, and prices generally show increased depression. South East ern , Midl and, Metropolitan, and North Western have each declined 10s. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire a nd Gre a t N orthern A Stock each 15s. ; while Great r W es t ern have advanced ss.

At the recent meeting 30 pigeons wore employed, and the distance, six miles, was down in about three minutes and a quartet.. THE GREAT WESTMINSTER CLOCK.—The Journal of the British Ilorological Institute says that the President, in his annual review of their proceedings, stated that " they had it on the authority of Mr. Ellis, of the Royal Observa tory, that there is no clock at Greenwich that keeps time so well as Mr. Denison's clock in the tower of the Houses of Parliament." It reports its own rate automatically twice a day to Greenwich by electric telegraph, a test to which no other public clock has ever been subjected. Persons taking the time from it should remember that exact Greenwich time is indicated by the first stroke of the great hour bells and also by the first stroke of any of the quarter chimes, except those at the hour. FENIAN SCH OOLMASTERS.—From a Parliamentary return just issued it appears that in the month of February last two s choolmasters were arrested in Ireland on the charge of Fenianism, and since September, 1865, thirty-two schoolmasters have been arrested for the same crime.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. THE FOREIGN ENLISTMENT ACT. Captain William Henry Ellis was placed before Sir T. Henry on remand, charged in conjunction with a seaman named Peters, to answer the charge of having enlisted English seamen to serve under a foreign flag, contrary to the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act. The first witness examined this morning was George Shand, who said he was a native of Shields, and he met Ellis at Sunderland, who asked him if he wanted a ship. Ho told him ho did, and he then agreed to sign ar ticles. He was told the vessel was the Al. The witness said it looked to him as if she was like the Alabama, when Ellis said he did not make much Mistake. He was to have £1 10s. a month. Ho was told the voyage was to be a yachting one on the Chilian coast for two years. They were shipped on board the Gretton Hall, but before they could be put on board the A 1 they were brought back by the ship Caledonia to Portland Roads. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—Ho would not undertake to swear that the articles that were read out did not state that the voyage was to be a yachting voyage for two years. Nothing was said about bringing the men back to England. He did not know what the chests contained, but they looked like arm chests. Ho had been in the Con federate service during the last war, and passed there as Francis Hammond. The witness Kelly, who was examined on a former occasion, was recalled, and said Captain Ellis was present when ho signed the articles. Shand signed at the same time as he did. When ho did so he could not closely examine the articles, as there were a great many persons present. Re was under the impression that they wero to sign for a two years' voyage under the Chilian flag. The name of the ship was mentioned as the A 1, and the voyage was to last for two years. Nothing was said about bring ing us back to England. Re-examined—lie could not say that the articles ex pressed that it was to be a yachting voyage. Capt. Ellis told him it was to be so. James Newland.—Resided in the East India-road, and on Thursday he was at the Union public-house at Lime house in the early part of July. He saw Peters there, and Bray and Hickson. He was asked by Peters if he wanted a ship. He replied yes, and he was asked to sign for a vessel that was going to take a run for Poru. He said he would sign. Ho did so, and was told that his rating would be settled when he got aboard the ship. He was to have £4 10s. as A. 8., and £6 10s. if he was rated as seaman gunner. He got an advance note for £9, and took it to Hatton Garden and got it paid. He was told by Peters that some body would meet us the following morning at Fenchurch station. He saw several men there all going to the same ship. Ho had a railway ticket given him, and he was told to go to Til bury. Ho got into the train, and went as directed. Geo. Smith was in the same train. When wo got to Tilbury we went on board the passenger steamer, and went from there to Southend pier, and after remaining there some time ts ere put on board two tugs, taken to Margate, and put on board the Gretton Hall off the Tongue Light. There were 200 men in all. There was a disturbance on board the ship, in consequence of its becoming known that the men were to be taken for a three years' voyage under the Chilian flag. Ellis then told us wo could all leave the ship if we chose, but there was no means afforded us of doing so, as the tugs were steaming off. He and about eleven, others got on board one of the boats, and eventually the tug took them on board, and they returned to Gravesend the same day. At this point the examination was again adjourned, the defendants being admitted to the same bail as on the former occasion. The late Fight between Mace and Goes. (From the Pall Mall Gazette.) The Star, at great length and with great disgust, reports the fight for the championship between Messieurs Mace and Goss. From the way in which the encounter is described, itis evident that the Star either employed a converted sporting reporter for the occasion, or else that the editor doctored a re port originally written in the conventional ring dialect. We are told at the outset, that yesterday morning took place "one of those wretched exhibi tions which still continue to have some charms for a certain class —though we are happy to assert it, a small class—of the community." Small and con temptible as the class may be, the Star, being a paper of universal philanthropy, gives it nearly a column of the details of the " disgraceful proceedings." The reporter is clearly a gentle man not altogether unknown to the Fancy, for he says, " Nat whispered knowingly in our car that the office was St. Paul's Pier, five o'clock punctual;' " but no one would ever suspect it from the " bewtifle, morl, religious, and honrabble toan"—as Mr. Yellowplush would say—in which he writes. Occa sionally, it is true, the Old Adam gets the better of him. He cannot keep down his admiration of the " fine leoline appearance " of Mace's head (this is an improvement on the stereotyped " bull-dog mug" of the sporting papers), or his regret that the same gentleman " below the thighs seemed very much shrunken, and not at all like the man who fought Tom King;" and he talks about " first blood," and " slipping down " in the regular way, just as Mrs. Gamp, after asserting her aversion to ardent spirits, " took off the dram in quite a scientific manner." But in the main he writes in a strain of charming innocence. Instead of rounds he chronicles " bouts," or " meetings ;" what coarser-minded scribes call " hot uns," he describes as " terrific blows," and he concludes with the fine moral sentiment, " though we may in some measure admire their hardihood, their disgraceful exhibition must provoke the greatest disgust." On the whole, we incline to the second of the two theories .we have suggested, that the report came in the usual carnal and unconverted state in which it would naturally come from an ordinary fighting reporter, and that the editor, in order to afford the greatest happiness to the greatest number, has endeavoured to meet the wishes of all parties by putting on a moral head and tail, and scoring out such words as " round," " chancery," " nut," " breadbasket," &c., to substitute terms less technical and offensive. We should like very much to see an evangelical novel constructed on the same principle out of some of the works of Paul Feval. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. LONDON, Aug.

A BARMAID CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.—Mary Jane Stanterford, about 1G years old, barmaid in the employ of Mr. Benjamin Overton, of the Old Chesterfield Arms, Shepherd-street, Mayfair, was charged before Mr. Flowers with stealing cigars and other articles, the property of her master. . _ Mr. Overton said that for some time past ho had sus pected the prisoner, who was his barmaid, of robbing him. On Sunday last she went out and never returned, and in consequence of one of his children telling him that the pri soner had taken some money from the till ho communi cated with the police, and went yesterday to the prisoner, who was staying with her aunt in Bateman's-buildings, Soho, and ordered her to return with him, and she did so. He then gay() her into custody, and on the officer search ing her box some cigars, stockings, and other articles (his property) were found, and the prisoner acknowledged tak ing three shillings from the till. The prisoner had been laying out money extravagantly, and had told a person named Norton not to let Mrs. Overton know what she bought. Philip Shrives, 82 C, proved being sent for, and taking the prisoner into custody for stealing different articles and money from the till. The prisoner denied three or four times taking any money, but afterwards admitted that she took three shillings from the till on Sunday. On searching th© prisoner's box he found the cigars and other articles produced. Mrs. Overton, wife of the prosecutor, identified the pro perty produced, and stated on coming down stairs on Sun day afternoon she found a man who acted as potman stupidly drunk, and the next morning he told her that the prisoner had given him half a pint of gin to drink. From inquiries she had made she found that the prisoner had been spending a good deal of money of late, and she had no doubt the prisoner had robbed them to some extent. Mr. Flowers remanded the prisoner. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL ATTACK UPON A POOR FOREIGNER.—A poor German, speaking very bad English, came before the magistrate this morning, and complained of the following disgraceful conduct : The poor fellow, after much time expended in the pro cess, informed the magistrate that he was a man going about with sheet glass to repair broken windows. He was called yesterday by a person in Flask-row, Pimlico, to put in a pane of glass, and was about to do so when the sheet glass he was carrying was wilfully broken by a boy, and himself attacked and beaten shamefully by others. _ _ In answer to the Magistrate, the applicant said that the glass had been wilfully broken by a boy throwing a stone through it, and then that an attack was suddenly made upon him by others, and he was much cut and bruised about the face. A very respectable-looking woman, residing at Pimlico, said she had felt it her duty to come forward and inform the magistrate how cruelly the poor foreigner had been used. lle was bleeding profusely from the face when she interfered, and the attack had been made upon him without the least provocdtion, because he wanted redress for his broken glass. Mr. Arnold asked if the boys could be found. The woman replied that two were known to her by sight, and could be identified. Mr. Arnold immediately issued a warrant, without fees, for the apprehension of the offenders. MARKETS.—This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day tho arrivals of wheat from Essex and Kent were only moderate. Only a mode rate business was transacted in both red and white parcels, but the prices realised were fully equal to Monday. With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. The trade ruled firm, and late rates were well supported. In floating cargoes of grain sales progressed slowly on former terms. Barley was in fair supply and moderate request at about Monday's quotations. Malt commanded but little attention at stationary prices. There was a good show of oats on, offer. Fine pareels were disposed of at full quotations, but inferior samples met a slow sale at the late docline. In beans and poas very little was doing at drooping prices. The flour trade was quiet on former terms. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English and Scotch 410 380 1 ,930 Irish Foreign 7,220 1,600 47,990 1,750 sks. bIP.

ROAD MENDING IN PARIS.—The Pont Royal is ono of the most frequented bridges of Paris. The number of vehicles which traverse it at all hours of the day is enor mous, and some diffizulty is caused by even a brief inter ruption of the traffic during the night. The extent of the traffic, however, renders necessary frequent repairs to the road. A day or two since this operation has been carried out over the whole length of the bridge, and in order to level and bind together a thick layer of broken granite the now steam roller, weighing nearly 30,000 kilogrammes, which has already been employed in other parts of the city, was brought into use. The operation commenced at 10 o'clock in the evening, and was continued throughout the night. In the morning the budge was re-opened for traffic, the road being sufficiently levelled to allow of vehicles passing without any inconvenience. The new system of road levelling is far more rapid and more efficacious than the old plan of cumbrous rollers drawn by horses.—La France. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day, The market opens with a better feeling, and prices were rather steadier. Sales probably 10,000 or 12,000 bales. We have to announce the death of the lion. Fleetwood John Fellow, brother and heir presumptive of the present Viscount Exmouth. He died on the 2d inst. at Eastbourne, at the age of 35. The deceased gentleman married, in 1860, Miss Ferguson, youngest daughter of Mr. Thomas Ferguson, of Greenville, county Down, Ireland. THE INNER TEMPLE. —The sub-treasurership of the Inner Temple has become vacant by the death of Mr. C. E. Vaughan. It is in the gift of the treasurer and benehers.

The memorial consists of a massive slab of beautifully -polished granite, neatly and effectively ornamented round the borders with flower work. It is about eight feet long by throe wide, and in the centre a large cross has been cut into the slab. The only inscrip tion is the plain and simple one of "Henry John, Viscount Pahuerston. Oct. 18, 1 865." No preparation has yet been made in the Abbey for the statue which is to be erected to the memory of Lord Palmerston, but it is expected that it will be placed there in the latter end of this or the early part of next year. The present memorial can be seen any day after divine service, the space where it is situate being kept clear for that purpose. REFORM DEMONSTRATION AT SHEFFIELD.—On Monday night a meeting of the working men of Sheffield was held in the Paradise-square, to consider the conduct of the Government in reference to the Hyde Park riots. Mr. S. Plimsoll, of London and Sheffield, who is the President of the Sheffield Reform League, took the chair, and there were about 12,000 persons present. Tho meeting was very orderly and enthusiastic. The chairman, in an opening address, alluded to the late disturbances, and threw the blame upon Sir Richard Mayne and the Government. If it were come to this, that the people of London were to meet only when Sir R. Mayne thought p ro per, we might write ourselves d own Prussians at once, minus their superior edy.,:ation, and minus the intellect and sagacity of Bismark. He could not see that the people of London should yield to such a puppet as Sir It. Mayne. Councillor Skelton moved a resolution, expressing the deep iadignation of the meeting at the conduct of the Government in attempting to suppress a public meeting in Hyde Park, and declaring the employment of the police and the military to be " unjustifiable, tyrannical, and unconstitutional, and deserving of the severest censure." Mr. Fillingham (tailor), who seconded the resolution, taunted the aristocracy with a desire to keep the people out of the park, while they at the same time did not blush to be seen there with women of questionable character. Tno resolution having been carried, Councillor Woodcock (" herbalist") moved the second, thanking g the Reform League for the manner in which it had advocated the • hts of the working . classes, and pledging the meeting to support them in their efforts to bring the question of right to a legal issue. A person named Hibbert seconded the resolution, which was also carried. Tho third resolution, which was in favour of manhood suf frage and the ballot, and declaratory of an utter want of confidence in the present Government, was supported by Mr, Edmond Beales, of London, who was received with protracted applause. In concluding a long speech ho said he held that it was the duty of the police to have protected the proposed meeting i n Hyde Park from being dis turbed by disorderly characters. He believed that already the London police was becoming too much a military power, and the danger was inc r e ased when they s aw par tisan magistrates condoning and palliating the worst ex cesses upon the part of that police, and act ua ll y re f us i ng relief to persons who had been seriously injured by them without their having given the least provocation. He utterly denied any intention on the part of the League to overawe the Parliament or the Government, and said that the meeting was simply for the purpose of refuting the base falsehoods that had been heaped upon the people, and of clearly proving the national feeling on the subject of Reform. Mr. H. Horner moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Beales, which was seconded by Mr. Thomas Orton, and carried with reiterated cheers. Mr. Beales responded at some length, but darkness had come on, and the crowd be gan to disperse rapidly. A large portion accompanied Mr Beales to his hotel, cheering loudly the while. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.--LAST EVENING. The house met to-day at 4 o'clock. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal assent was given by commission to the Pub lic Health Bill, In respect to which the standing orders were suspended yesterday. THE ELECTORAL FRANCHISE. Lord CAMPBELL said that he wished to withdraw the motion of which he had given notice, and which stood on the paper for this evening, for the appointment of a commission to inquire into the opezation of the existing franchise of England and Wales, arc. The circumstances that had recenL'y occurred rendered tho raising of the question involved in his motion not opportune at the pre sent moment. Leave was then given to withdraw the motion. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY (NEW LINES, &o.) BILL. On th 3 motion for the suspension of the standing orders in respect to this bill, some discussion took place, but the bill was read a third time and passed. THIRD READINGS The following Bills were read a third time and passed : Cattle Diseases Prevention Act Amendment, Court of Sessions (Scotland) Amendment, Poor Law Amendment, Enclosures (No. 2), Public Turnpike Trusts (Continu ance), Railways (Iceland), Temporary Advances, Bill of Sales Act, 1851, (Amendment), Oyster Cultivation (Ireland), Naval Discipline (Amendment), Industrial Schools, Consolidated Fund Appropriation, Landed Estates Court (Ireland), Reformatory Schools (Amendment), Corn mon Law Com Ls (Fees, &c.), Expiring Laws Continuance. The Habeas Corpus Suspension Act Continuance (Ire land) Bill went through committee. PATRIOTIC FUND BILL. This bill also went through committee. CONSTABULARY (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. The remaining business on the paper was disposed of, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS:. The following bills were considered and agreed to : Wye Valley Railway, Wrexham, Mold, And Connah's Quay Railway (Additional Powers and Extension r). ROYAL COMMISSION. The SPEAKER, attended by several members, attended the House of Peers to hear the Royal assent given to a number of public and private bills. HER MAJESTY'S SHIP FAVOURITE. Mr. SEELY moved for a return giving date when her Majesty's sh:p Favourite last sailed from England to North America, stating whether she had any steel or chilled iron shot or shell Dn board ; and, if so, how many; and whether any steel or chilled iron shot or shell had been since sent to her, and, if so, how many and when ; and, if none had been sent, whether it was intended to send any, and when. The return was ordered. THE HYDE PARK RIOTS. Mr. TAYLOR asked the Secretary of State for the Home Depatment whether his attention had been called to a report of a decision of Mr. Knox at Marlborough street in a case of violence proved to have been exercised by a policeman against a person not inside, not seeking to enter the park ; the summons having been discharged with these words :—" Do not blame the coustable, who has given you a chance blow ; but blame those who turned loose the scum and refuse of the town on the peaceable inhabitants." Mr. WALPOLE said his attention had not been drawn to the case when the question had been put on the paper. He had since made an 5 avestigation, and he was afraid the notice was calculated to convey a false impression. What the magistrate said was, that it was tha duty of private individuals to assist in putting down a riot. The right hon. gentleman then read the concluding observations of Mr. Knox on the case, in explanation of the phrase con tained in the question. BARRACKS AT NOTTINGHAM. In reply to Mr. OSBORNE, General PEEL said the idea of erecting cavalry barracks at Nottingham had been abandoned. ROYAL NAVAL COAST VOLUNTEERS. On the motion of Admiral ERSKINE returns were ordered of the number of men who have been annually enrolled in the force denominated the Royal Naval Coast Volunteers, and of the number of men enrolled in the Royal Naval Reserve who failed to present themselves for drill during the years 1865-1866. IMPERIAL GUARANTEES. In reply to Mr. HUBBARD for returns on the above sub The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there would be no objection to granting the return moved for by the hon. gentleman. With respect to his question, it was qui:,e true that the Turkish Government had failed to provide the interest on the loan specified on the Ist of August, but he felt it his duty to add that ho had that afternoon received information from the Turkish Ambas sador, who had received the communication by telegraph, that the necessary funds for making the payment, and also for the sinking fund, had been forwarded to Constanti nople, and might be expected in this country in the course of a few days. The Governments of France and England had made good their guaran'vee, but what would be done for the futtre he must decline to answer that part of the question until the Governments of France and England had deliberated on the matter. PUBLIC SCHOOLS BILL. On the motion of Mr. GOSCHEN, the order for the second reading of this blll was discharged. THE NAVIGATION LAWS. Mr. AYRTON celled attention to the ne2;ociations com menced by the late Mr. Cobden for the modification or abolition of the navigation laws in foreign countries, and moved for a copy of the French decree and the correspon dence which had taken place with the Imperial Govern ment on the subject. Lord STANLEY admitted the desirability of doing away with these laws, or, if that were impossible, their being relaxed throughout Europe. The only question was "how to do it;" for if a nation declined to do it for their own interest, it was hardly likely that they would do so to please us. In France provision had been made for the progressive reduction of differential duties against the flags of foreign nations, and after a certain time their total abolition. The decree to this effect would come into ope ration at the beginning of next yea; and as it was a public document there was no objection to lay it upon the table. Before consenting to produce the correspondence, how ever, he must give it a perusal. With regard to Spain and Portugal, hitherto all attempts to induce thorn to relax their codes had been unsuccessful, and nothing had been done in that direction by either. There was some danger in pressing these matters too hard upon foreign Govern ments, for they were apt to derive the impression that we were asking an advantage for ourselves at their expense. He had not much faith in the power of persuasion, but he had great faith in the power of example; and he thought that the example of England, followed by that of France would in time have an influence upon the other nations of the Continent. He promised that the subject should not be lost sight of by the Government. The motion was agreed to. The house adjourned at a quarter to 7 o'clock until half past 1 on Friday next. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £1 1? a. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. the course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1081 to 109 per cent. At these rates Were is a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE. Australia and New Zealand, via Southampton...—. Aug. 19.

There is certainly some change taking place in our climate that is affecting our lakes and rivers. The average of water is steadily decreasing. Our " June rise," once sts certain as the coming of the month, has totally ceased. feet Rains which would have once swelled the river several now do not seem to affect it in the least.

TAILS.--All animals, says the Darwinian theory, spring from an aquatic origin ; w:tness, not merely the wagging of their tails, but the simple presence of a tel. itself. When a lion, about to make the fatal spring, lashes his tail, it is only an innate habitual hick, inherited from his great-great-grandmother several millions of times re moved—some shark-like scourge of primeval seas. Take a fish of prey—and very few are not fishes of prey—im prove his air-bladder into a lung, stiffen his four fins into legs, finish them off with claws, leave him his scales, or, if your prefer it, either weld them into a pachydermatous hide, or convert them into shaggy fur, with bristling mane and whiskers to match ; above all, leave him his tail, which may terminate in a fly-brush or in a sting, and you have at once a land animal, from which, i: you met it in a nar row lane, you would probably run away. The Dragon of Wantley was thus generated, perhaps, as well as other monsters slain by heroes. When an animal has no tail, as apes and others, the proof of its watery birth is none the weaker. It dropped its tail when it came out of the water, as a lady leaves her bathing-dress in the machine. The frog, for instance, when it ceases to be a tadpole, bequeaths its tail to its younger companions. The newt does not ; preferring to retain that appendage as an ornament in after life. It is a mere matter of taste and fashion. The absem.o of a tail is no guarantee whatever that any creature is not a fish out of wAtor.—Dickertis " 41d the Fear &t ad." .r t e too ,q ,01 to too 1 190 100 100 F 0 100 100 lioti i Eta
