ONEY MARKET AND C OMMERCIAL N L 4. Nek, O'CLOCK. With a very m o d era t e demand TWELVE for commercial ac commodation, and a considerable inflow of gold Into the bank, the prospect of affairs, especially monetary, is not so unfavourable. The only dis couraging circumstance is the high price for cotton, and the refusal of some of the manufacturers at Manchester to work at full time in consequence. Already the burden is that the rise in prices will not admit a moderate profit, and it would appear that m this quarter there will not be a full and regular employment for the mill hands during the coming winter. Such a contingency is to be regretted more than in one li g h t, and it is to be hoped that the supplies of cotton coming forward from Egypt and India will be abundant, and that America, too, will be able to export a larger quantity than was recently expected, and thus render increased work for the operatives, who will have ,to pay a higher price for the staff of life in consequence of the deficiency in our harvest. Regarding our stock of bullion in this country it is larger than for a considerable time past, and owing to this circumstance, as well as to the very light demand for accommodation, it is not improbable that in the course of the ensuing week the official rate of discount may be lowered to 4 per cent. During the past two days the inquiry has been rather active, in consequence of the Indian Bills, which became due yesterday, and the antici pated reduction. To-day the inquiry has been very moderate, and the best commercial bills have again been negotiable as low as 3i per cent. The official liquidators of the Commercial Bank Corporation of India and the East has issued a report to the shareholders. It shows approximately that the total debts on Suite 30 were £3,150,839, with assets amounting to 23,332,447, leaving a probable surplus of £181,608, subject to several possible re ductions for expenses, interest, &c. There is there fore a chance that instead of the shareholders being called upon to sustain a deprivation of more than their capital and reserve they may ultimately receive a small amount back. With regard to the Payment of a dividend to the creditors the report States :—" Since the suspension of the bank large amounts of cash and bills have been received, and there is every probability of a considerable dividend being declared early in next year, especially if the funds accumulated at Bombay are sent home in accordance with my instructions. The claims for dividend will, it is estimated, be reduced by sets off to the sum of £2,500,000, or thereabouts, and the funds in the Bank of England in cash and in bills, which will shortly be available, amount to £750,000, and remittances are expected from the branches, including Bombay, to the amount of £600,000, making together £1,350,000. W these hen sums can be dealt with and the claims have been adjudicated upon, the dividend will be de clared. A further dividend will depend upon the Progress to be made in the realization of the assets ill China and India. Every exertion shall be used earliest rBl ie ee s t i t re the full discharge of the liabiliti es a t th e Possible date ; but, having regard to the nature of the securities to be realized, and the large a mount of claims upon insolvent estates, the time ne neces sary for eff ect i ng this result cannot yet be defin ed. The movements of the precious metals during the past week have been on a rather limited scale. The imports have only amounted to £203,470, includ ing £14,390, from New York, by the Saxonia ; 9 ,810, by the City of New York ; and £15,440 by the Bremen.

STIOBEDITCII COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Dasent.) TAX COLLECTORS AND TAX PAYERS. -SINGULAR CASE. - RILEY V. NORDHEIM. This was an action to recover a sum of money for cer tain rates paid by plaintiff for defendant. The plaintiff is one of the collectors of.rates for the parish of Shoreditch, and he knew the defendant. He now deposed that he had on more than one occasion called upon defendant for Wes, and, finding that defendant was not prepared to pay them, had advanced the money himself, and allowed defendant to repay hint within a certain time. Upon a recent occa sion he paid some poor rates for the defendant, and when he applied to defendant for the money, Mr. Nordheim re fused to reimburse him. He had acted as a friend in paying this money. When the books were looked over he was directed to press certain parties, and he paid the money fur defendant in a friendly manner. Mr. Earle (Astley and Earle) said that it would be a bad precedent for the court to say that a collector of rates could pay the money due by a ratepayer out of his own pocket, and then sue for it. It was clear plaintiff was still liable to the parish. • His Honour thought the defence hardly a fair ono, and could not understood how a person who had been served by a gentleman in the position of the plaintiff could set it up. His Honour was of opinion that plaintiff was entitled to sue for the money in the form of money advanced to the defendant's use. At one time the money stood in -the form of rat es , b u t w h en pl a i n tiff paid those rates, their character was changed, so - far at 3 was concerned. I: was a pure monetary transaction.. Plaintiff must have a verdict with costs. Verdict for the plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. Naval and Military Intelligence.

The complainant said that on the previous evening he went into a chandler's shop at the corner of Rupert-street to get some paraffine, when a person asked him to go and see the time. He crossed over, and put his head in at the public-house door, when the prisoner struck him on the head with his umbrella. He ran across the road again, and the . prisoner followed him and struck him on the face two or three times with his umbrella. Mrs. Harriett Williams, of 47, Rupert-street, said she saw a man run after the complainant and strike him three times with his umbrella, and after doing so he wont back to the public-house. She believed the prisoner was the man who struck the boy. Parmetty, 185 C, said he took the prisoner into custody on the charge of assaulting the complainant. In answer to Mr. Knox, the constable said a crowd had collected, and three persons told him that the prisoner had struck the complainant. The prisoner, who spoke very bad English, said that yesterday evening he met a young woman, a dwarf, who told him that she would like to lcaru French ; ko went with her to a publichouse, and while talking to her some roughs pushed the door open, and annoyed him by making faces, and having aimed a blow with his umbrella, might have struck the boy, but he was not aware he had done so. Parmetty said the young woman alluded to by the pri soner was an unfortunate. Mr. Knox said the prisoner had lost his temper and had struck the wrong person. Under the circumstances he would give him' an opportunity of making the boy some compensation, and if he did not satisfy the boy he should impose a very sharp fine. The complainant and the prisoner left the. court, and having given a sovereign to the complainant, ho was dis charged. DOCKS. RES AND STOCKS. I Paid. Closing 1 Business i Price.

Michael John Sheen, travelling inspector on the line, said ho saw the defendant and the last witness struggling at the gate, and ho went to ascertain the cause of the bother. He requested defendant to leave the premises, as they were private, but ho refused and struck witness, tearing his collar and scarf. He was ejected, and remained o - Aside using bad language, and asked witness whether he would have a sovereign, a glass of grog, or a smack in the mouth. He was still more riotous, and was locked up, conducting himself violently on the way to the station. Defendant said he was not drank, and had only been bailed half-an-hour. He could bring evidence to prove he was not drunk, if time wore allowed. Mr. Sella told him the company's premises were private, and he had no business there. Defendant pleaded ignorance of the fact.

LORD POLTIMORE'S HUNT.--It will be most gra tifying to those whose opportunity it was last season to enjoy the fine sport shown by this splendid pack of fox hounds to know that the Poltimore establishment has now reached the Cattistock kennels, and already some most agreeable meetings have been enjoyed in the vicinity. We have recently had the gratification of witnessing the hounds in kennel, and too much praise cannot be awarded to John Evans, the huntsman, for the truly excellent trim in which the whole establishment has been put, considering the very short time the hounds have returned to the Dorset kennels. The pack consists of 51i couple, and to use the language of one competent to form an opinion, we may state the dogs are all distinguished for size and power ; there is not a narrow hound among them, or showing a weakness in any single point. They are extremely level, and, without exception, of the highest class ; and of abundant quality. The bitches are most meritorious, finely shaped, and de serving the epithet of grand. The hounds have had five weeks' good cub-hunting in the North Molt.on country pre vious to their return to Dorset, and during the past week borne capital sport has been enjoyed at Martinstown, Wynyard's Gap, Melbury, and elsewhere, where the hounds have added fresh wreaths to their laurels, finding and kill ing an ample number of cubs. Up to Saturday last they had accounted for 15; brace, and had run seven to ground, and we are assured that everywhere there is a good show of foxes, and plenty of sport in store for the coming season. Oa of the 7 Oa Wednesday the pack met at Martinstown , and asi already well known that Mr. John Homer is one right sort—always most ready and able to show sport — this j was no exception. At Wynyard's G a p the spo not so good, but still a good run was enjoyed the • y a h n a d d o a n Monday last, when his lordship waspresent, wo rked, with brilliant day. The hounds have been w plenty of sharp hunting for the new entries,e te3y oung ones Theet they are all in excellent condition and of a nd not ono a looks sick or sorry.

THE LATEST PRIZE FIGIIT.—AIessrS. Napper and Baldoek, the pugilists who met in fierce (very fierce) con flict on Tuesday last, deserve well of the profession. They have rescued the noble art from the imputation of not being business, which two of its devotees, by a very mild encounter, lately brought upon it. If any two people in this world ever m eant business, they are Messrs. Napper and Baldock. Their contest was altogether a lively affair. Not only did the principals " fight, and gouge, and bite and kick" each other, but tho seconds, in addition to taking an occasional share in a trouble in which either Mr. B a ld o ck or Mr. Napper found himself undermost, drew life-preservers against one another, and woro'only pacified by an offensive alliance against the referee, wh o was throstened with annihilation, and received so much towards it that he was knocked off his seat, and departed the ring, l eav ing the fight undecided.

Two merchant steamers, about 4,000 tons burden each, aro now building at Newburyport, Massachusetts, for merchant service between Boston and Europe. Thoy will be the latzest merchant steamera in the world, HAUBLETON. To-day Sundeelah galloped a couple of miles very fast, but it is uncertain whether he goes to Lincoln next week, fit though he is. The Stabber and Lady Vane went a mile and a half; and the following were also in good work : Fair Wind, Bird's Eye, Jura, Hopvine, Knight Errant, Child of the Islands, Harrogate, Best Returns, Corporal, The Priest, Dusty Miller, The Dean, and The Prelate. Red Earl (engaged in Liverpol Cup) is an absentee; and 'Harry Brailsford too. RICHMOND. Our trainers aro away at Newmarket, but expected home to-morrow. This morning Plaudit and Rose were trotting, having been in physic. Roderick Random did not show, being lame, therefore he won't accept for Liver pool. Nothing More galloped a mile and a half, as did Raunds and Bob Chambers. Graciosa and Monolith went a mile and a quarter, and Minnette, Podargus, Sugah. Doolab, Bumble Kite, and Lady Dora colt about a mile, WOODYEATES. William Day is still at Newmarket with Scarborugh, Cranford, and a few others, but returns home to-morrow. In the meantime, however, the horses that are left here, coniiinue in good work, particularly the Special and Mail Train, who aro well in for the Liverpool Autumn Cup, and whichever is wanted for that event of this couplet is bound to win. Both are very fit. The yearlings are get ting on first class. Scarborough, Crauford, and Queen Mary, engaged at Lincoln, are quite ripe, but the first mentioned will not be required yet. MLTON. Treasure Trove, Skylark, and Mushroom are doing plenty of work for Lincoln and Liverpool, but we have nothing for the 'Worcester big handicap, The three horses named each galloped over a u►ile and three-quarters this morning. The Lion is in prepa►ation for the Liverpool Autumn Cup. Westwick may accept for that event, but War won't, as ho is turned out. Brown Bread continues infirm. MARKETS.---This Day. COVENT GARDEN.

County of Tipperary —The Hon. Captain Charles White, of Woodland Clonsilla, in the county of Dublin, in the room of John Blake Dillon, Esq., deceased. A CHOLERA COAIMISSION.---It was announced some weeks ago that a sum ofiin money would be granted to M r . Si mon to enable I • 1. to institute a full scientific investigation into the recent outbreak of cholera in the metropolis, and the names of very compstent men were freely mentioned as likely to take part in the inquiry. A little later we heard that so munificent a suln as £OOO would be allotted towards the expense of a thrbrough scru tiny into the origin of an epidemic which has slain so many thousands of human beings. Of course those were of much less value than cattle, hence the thousands lavished on the cattle plague inquiry, and the trifle offered to the doctors to investigate cholera. But will even this be done ? The last wo hear of the matter is that Mr. J. N. Radcliffe has been instructed to prepare a report on the subject. Mr. Radcliffe will, we doubt not, discharge this duty with the ability and care he has before exhibited in similar labours. But were wo not promised a commission ? Mr. Rad cliffe would be an excellent member of a commission, but others ought to be associated with him. Surely a f ew hundreds could bo spared for such a purpose:— M e di ca l Press.
