MONEY RABBET AND COMMERCIAL LNTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The payment of the dividends,, which commences to-day, is causing a better feeling among dis counters, but for the present the rates charged for ac commodation show no important change. There is only a moderate demand for money both at the Bank and hi the open market, and with the pro bable increase in the supply some concessions will, no doubt, soon be made to the commercial world. The weekly balance-sheet from the Rank of England, shows that the position of the establish merit has been further weakened, and that the authorities have had recourse to a sale of Govern ment securities to strengthen their reserves. The foilowing are the particulars : Subjoined is an analysis of the Bank of England return, which shows that the directors acted judi ciously in advancing the rate of discount : Active Cin;ulation Decrease ...X22,312,195 ".

A further influx of £103,000 in gold took place at the Bank of England yesterday afternoon. The Atlantic Telegraph Company have issued Proposals for an additional capital of £600,000, in shares of £5 each, for the construction and laying down a new cable, and also to recover the old one. These new shares are to have a preferential dividend of 12 per cent. The Oriental Bank, at their meeting on the 19th inst., intend to propose an interim dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for the half-year ending the 30th of June last. The report of the Bank of Queensland to be pre sented on the 18th inst. shows an available total of £9,520, and recommends a dividend of 15s. per share, or at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, which will absorb £6,391, and the appropriation o £1,500 to reserve and £689 to preliminary ex• penses, which will leave £940 to be carried for. ward.

More activity has prevailed in the foreign and colonial produce marketeduring the last few days. A large business has been done in sugar, and prices have further advanced. Coffee has been in good demand at steady rates, while rice has been in re quest at enhanced prices. Spices and fruits have been inactive, and less business has been transacted in tallow, although prices for both nt ward delive r y continue exceedinglyprese firm. and for: m orn s o O'.

There is still a quiet feeling in the discount mar ket, and an early decline is considered more pro bable than an advance. Borrowers are limiting their transactions as much as possible, and capitalists evince more disposition to utilise their balances. At present, however, no substantial difference is per ceptible in the rates for bills or loans from day to day on Government securities in the Stock Ex change. _ alter ation resulted f rom yesterday ' s business in Consols, and their prices have continued equally %In to-dap; for money they are still 84 89 •; for the Bth „_ prox., 89-1 it.

VICTOR HuGo is engaged in correcting the proof sheets of his volume of popular songs, entitled "Les Chan sons des Rues et des Bois," which will be published simul taneously in Paris and Brussels. M.

RAJAH BROOKE, the famous Governor of Sara wak, has a new work in preparation descriptive of ten years' residence in the province.

DRAMATIC, EQUESTRIAN, AND MUSICAL SICK FUND ASSOCIATION. —The 10th annual meeting of the members, patrons , and friends of this society took place yesterday in the saloon of Drury -lane Theatre—Mr. Cres wick presiding in the absence of Mr. Webster, who had sent a communication from Paris expressing his regret that he was prevented from attending on the occasion. Mr. I. Philips read the report of the committee of management, which referred with confidence to the firm yet steady progress of the institution. The balance -sheet for 1865 showed that the receipts amounted to £579 14s 2d, and the disbursements to £349 18s. 3d., representing a profit on the year of £229 15e. 11d. The report was adopted, the officers for the en suing year were re-elected, and a vote of thanks passed to them for their services. On the motion of Mr. J. W. Anson, the secretary, thanks were returned to ths subscri bers and donors who supported the institution at the annual dinner on Ash Wednesday. A. similar tribute was also paid to the chairman and the auditors, and to Mr. Anson, the secretary, to whom belongs the sole credit of having organised the institution, and the proceedings ter minated. ANOTHER INVASION OF BEES.—With October weather so mild that gossamer is seen flying in our street, bees may be expected to discover sugar casks in our grocers' shops, and boldly advance towards them if doors are left open. Yesterday, one of the shops on the High-street was all but taken by storm by an army of bees, -which made an assault on a sugar cask, defying all the merchant's efforts to repel them. It has always been a curious subject of inquiry how the bees of a hive can manage to telleach other where a treasure may be found. That they can do so admits of no doubt, for every apiarian knows when he sees half a dozen of robbers hoveriqg round a weak skep that half a hundred will come to-morrow, and next day thousands overwhelming all opposition. It is the same with attacks , on sugar in grocers' shops—a few bees out re connoitre the premises, and, going home, return n ud w in i g then a on rm t y h e spot.—Elgin ot_ determined Eig i t n o a p o l u u r n a t, though they should perish Ever since it was decided in Brooklyn, New York, that a negro could serve on a jury, and a case was tried with eleven white jurymen and one black one, negro stock has been looking up. The privilege has been ex tended, it seems, and white men summoned on the jury can now furnish negro substitutes. The system works beautifully, for as soon as drawn you can send your valet or coachman to the court-room, and think no more about it, and th e h appy negro, glad of anything that gives him importance, will administer justice to " de white folk" with infinite gusto.—Philadelphia Correspondent of the Times.

This bankrupt was described as a widow, formerly an outfitter and haberdasher, of London and Portsmouth, now a prisoner for debt, and to-day she applied for her release. Mr. Doria supported, Mr. Sargood opposing for Messrs. Caldecott and Co., who are creditors for nearly £2OO. The bankrupt stated that she left the country, and com ing up to London took lodgings in the City-road for change of air" and the benefit of her health, subsequently removing to Mile-end for the same purpose. As the accounts were imperfect the Application was opposed, and Mrs. Davis went back to prison. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. Edward Durham was placed at the bar charged with robbing Mary White. Constable 'Walter Gordon, of the F division of police, said that on the night of the sth inst. he saw the defendant in company with two other men, following the prosecu trix up St. Martin's-lane. He knew them all to be convicted thieves, and therefore he was induced to watch them, as he felt they were about to rob the female. Before he could get up to them the woman, who was slightly intoxicated, went into a public-house, and the men followed her. He (witness) also went into the house after them, but by another door, and there he saw them fumbling about the lower part of the woman's dress. They then went out into the street, and he followed, when, seeing him, they all ran as quick as they could towards Long-acre. He pursued them, but he accidentally fell, and on getting up he found the men out of sight. He walked about for about 20 minutes, when on going up New-street, Covent-garden, he saw the pri soner, who he was sure was one of the men, listening to some music which was being played in front of one of the houses. He went up to him and took him into cus tody, when a violent struggle ensued between them, and then the other two men, whom he dil not see at first, ran from out the crowd. He obtained assistance, and the prisoner was conveyed to the station-house. Near the spot where the struggle took place a leather purse was picked up. The person who assisted the constable corroborated his evidence. Mary White said the purse produced was hers, and ii was stolen from her while in the public-house in St. Mar tin's-lane. Prisoner (to the constable)—Why ain't you got the other men ? You could have 'em if ye like. You know where to get 'em, but I'spose it don't suit you. GENG'E. Gordon—Your worship, I saw them on Sunday in Seven dials, but on seeing me they ran down Nears-yard and escaped me. Prisouer—Oh yes, I dare say they did. Why, your worship, they're his " narks." They get up cases for him. He's a nice article, he is. Mr. Vaughan—ls anything known of the prisoner? Gordon—Both he and his two companions were con victed thieves. I've the warder of the House of Correc tion here to prove that against the prisoner. Prisoner—You're very kind ; but you had better have collared the other two. Mr. Vaughan—What have you to say to the charge? Prisoner—What's the good of me saying anything? It'll be no use. These two men: he speaks of he knows very well get cases for him. He could have had 'em if he liked. Mr. Vaughan—l shall fully commit you for trial. Prisoner—Very well. What would have been the use of saying anything ? I knowed you do that. He was then locked up.

Would " the mysterious Chattanooga," as the sporting journals used to call Mr. Naylor's horse in the early spring, meet Liddington:to-day for the rich 500 sovs. Sweepstakes? The former was on the ground, and it seemed as if he was going to do battle, but wiser counsels prevailed, and Mr. Merry's horse walked over for the forfeits. Regalia, the Oaks winner, and second in the St. Leger, made her appearance in a £5O plate over the Ro.vley Mile, and, of course, made an example of her field at the same time. Her jockey never had to move on her, and her fine action ascending the hill was particukrly noticeable. There was a good race for the Bretby Stakes between Lady Sophie and Mirella (the latter never mentioned in the betting), and by her winning giving the fielders a turn, which the disasters of the last two days rendered agree able. The Newmarket Oaks brought out a fair field, con sisting of Klarinska (with a 71b. penalty), Peeress, Gomera, Nukuheva, &c. They made Gomera a very warm favou rite indeed, 7 to 4 being taken freely about the Danebury mare, and the race was a fine one between her, Klarinska, and Peeress, Mr. Bowes's mare appearing to have a little the best of it, but Fordharn stuck resolutely to Gomera, and within a few yards of the chair got her head in ad vance,—a good piece of riding on the jockey's part. The £lOO Plate, A. F., generally produces a good field and a good race, and out of the 12 starters the first and third were foreigners, Tancrede, a great striding horse, who has been running well on the Continent, winning easily by a couple of lengths, and Major Fridolin's Sultan flashing the same distance from the second horse. The 300 sovs Sweepstakes, reduced to a match between Esca and The Primate, the former allowed 31b, resulted rather unexpectedly in the former's defeat, and brought a fair afternoon's sport to a conclusion. Sweepstakes of 500 sous each, 200 ft, for 3-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b ; and fillies, Bst 71b ; winners extra ; maidens allowed 71b. R.M. 3 subs. Mr. Merry's Liddington, Bst 101 b (A. Edwards) w.o.

Here Happy Wife dropped back, and half way in the cords Lord Westmoreland's filly joined issue with the leader, the pair finishing a fine race home, Mirella winning by a neck. There were two lengths between the second and third; Mineral was a bad fourth, Hebe fifth, and the Skirmisher's dam filly next. Happy Wife and Valeria were beaten off.

Mazurka took a clear lead immediately after starting, followed byViceroy and Jack o'Lantern on tholower ground, The Masson, by himself, wide on theirright. They ran thus into the cords, where Viceroy dropped back, leaving Jack o' Lantern in attendance upon the favourite, but without a chance of reaching her, and was beaten in a canter by a length and a half. The Masson was defeated by a neck for secondplace, and who finished a head in advance of Dawdle. The Scheldt was fifth, close up, and Viceroy sixth. Rejec tion, Hasketon Maid, and Alice Lee wore the last three, beaten off. The winner was not claimed. Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, for 3-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b, and fillies, Bst 71b.

La Fortune was first off, and made the running, Furze Chat going on second, closely attended by the favourite and Peeress, Rlarinska, and Nukuheva lying a couple of lengths in their rear. They ran thus to the Rowley mile post, where the French representative gave way, and Furze Chat was left with a slight lead, the lot closing up as they entered the dip. Here Furze Chat was disposed of, and Peeress, in company with Gomera and Klarinska, came on, and as they entered the cords wero several lengths in ad vance of their horses. Half-way up Fordham appeared to have the best of it, but in a few strides further Klarinska headed him, and held her own to within a few strides of home, when Fordham made his effort, and won in the last stride by a head, Mr. Bowes's filly defeating Peeress by half a length for second; Nukuheva was a b a d f ourth, La Fortune fifth, and Trapeze sixth.

CRUELTY TO A PONY.—Cornelius Driscoll, a boy, was brought before Mr. Partridge on a charge of cruelty to a pony, the property of Matthias Michaelis, a Jew, carrying on business as a coffee-house keeper in Grace's-alley, Wellclose-square. Yesterday evening the prosecutor sent his boy to a stable in Rosemary-lane to feed and clean his pony. Upon open ing the stable-door other boys of the class called Arabs, who infest the district and are cruel and mischievous in their freaks, forced their way into the stable, beat the pony with sticks and pieces of wood, and put one boy on its back and made him ride the pony in the street. All this time the prisoner was beating the pony with a stick as hard as he was able, and the blows fell thick and fast on its head, back, and shoulders. The animal escaped its persecutors by running back into the stable, and the prisoner forced its way in again, threw a pail of water over it, and then, with diabolical ferocity, forced the end of a stick into the animal's body. The rear of the animal was said to be injured and swollen. A police constable named Higgins, 60 H, sought for the young scoundrels who ill-used the poor animal, but could only find one of them. The prisoner, who said he was only 12 years of age, de nied that he injured the animal at all, and said that Bas sett's (a butcher) boy put another lad on the pony. Ile offered the animal a pale of water to drink. It would not drink, and he threw the water over the pony's legs. The father of the prisoner here stepped into the witness box, and said—As far as I can understand he never ill used the pony at all. He had a brother and a sister. I can't get him to work, and I am out late and early. Mr. Partridge—Have you ever sent him to school ? Witness—No. He won't go. _ _ _ Mr. Partridge--Have you ever taught him humanity and kindness to dumb animals? The father made no answer to the question, but repeated several times—l work early and late. Mr. Partridge was afraid the boy WAS neglected by his father, who had not done for him what he ought to have done. The boy said he was only 12 years of age, but 13 was stated to be his age on the charge-sheet, and he (Mr. Partridge) thought he was older than that. At any rate, the boy was old enough to know better, and had been guilty of cruelly torturing a valuable pony, and acting in a most disgusting and indecent manner to the animal. Such atrocious conduct in a boy he had never before met with during his long experience as a magistrate. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for six weeks and kept to hard labour. 1 _ • SOUTHWARK. 1 S TEALING A GOLD WATCH.--John Brown, who described himself as a j ourneyman tailor, was charged this morning, before Mr. Burcham, with stealing a watch, the property of William Fi nc h ley, a clerk, living at 15, Leadenhall street. The prosecuto r s t ated that last evening, about eight o'clock, he was going over London-bridge, and while passing through a crowd on the Surrey side he heard the ticking of a watch. He put his hand into his pocket, and found his watch was gone, upon which he seized hold of the prisoner, who was close to him, and accused him of stealing it. The prisoner denied the charge, and said he was willing to be searched, upon which he gave him into custody. He valued the watch at £4, and at the station he identified the watch taken on the prisoner as his property. Consable Garrett Monroe Pearce said that when the prisoner was brought to the station he was searched, and the watch was found concealed in a very dexterous man ner on his person. The prisoner said nothing in his behalf, and pleaded guilty. Mr. Burcham (to the prisoner)—You seem to be a very artful thief, and although you say you are a tailor there can be little doubt as <to what your actual employment is. There is no evidence that you have been convicted before, and therefore 1 sentence you merely to six months' hard labour, but had it been otherwise your sentence would have been much more severe. DARING ROBBERY. —John Brockett was charged with the following daring robbery. Elijah Parkington, a boot and shoeniaker, in the Old Kent-road, stated that yesterday in the day-time he per ceived the prisoner loitering about his shop and watched him. He was at the opposite side of the road and he saw the prisoner attempt by one hand to pull the pair of boots produced from the string on which they were hanging at the shop door. He failed in doing so ; then' deliberately put up both his hands and dragged them down forcibly. He immediately ran across the road and seized him. The prisoner denied the charg e . Mr. Burcham said there could be no doubt as to his guilt, and he sentenced him to 14 days' hard labour. He remarked, at the same time,ontheso a areprehensibletohold f p o ra rt c h ti a ce t o em f tradesmen e t n o in exposing their goods theft. SHOCKING DEATH OF A FIREMAN ON TIIE SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY.—On Wednesday evening an occurrence of a very shocking description took place upon the London and South-Western Railway, between Bishop stoke and Winchester. The 715 up -train for Waterloo arrived in due course at Bishopstoke. Between the latter station and Winchester, the fireman, Spencer, who had previously complained to Watson, the driver, of being un well, was missed for a few minutes by the latter, who sup posed that Spencer was on the tender. Next to this was the break van, and the g uar d soon afterwards perceived over the roof of th e carr i age, w hi c h d w ith blood. On examining th e b o dy o f th e t w h a e s m sp a a n t ' t s er le e gs hanging unfortunate man, to the guard's horror he found that Spencer's head had been crushed in a frightful manner, and that the poor fellow was quite dead. It is supposed that while upon the roof of the van his head must have come in contact with one of the bridges, and so have been shattered instantaneously. A WOMAN'S HEAD FOUND IN THE THAMES.—On Wednesday last William Lanham, a Waterman, found a human skull floating in the Thames. He conveyed it to the Woolwich police station, where it was examined by Dr. Stuart, the divisional police surgeon, who made a written report to the effect that ha could detect no inj ury or fracture on the head, which; froth th e d e li cacy of its formation, was, n o doubt, that of a young woman, and had been in the water a long time. Inform a ti on was forwarded to Mr. C. J. Carttar, coroner for W es t K ent, who decided that it was not necessary to hold a n inquest.

Johnstone, Captain Lane, Mr. Lowther, Mr. Payne, and the Duke of St. Albans. It was proposed by the Stewards, and resolved :—" To add in the Rule of Racing, No. 24, after the words 'never won' the words registered prize in any country.' " Also, to add the following to rule 17 :—" When a horse has been struck out of an engagement by the person legally entitled to do so, if the horse shall be permitted to start by mistake for the said engagement, he shall not be entitled to receive the prize, though he comes in first, and if he has been allowed to start in consequence of fraud or misrepre sentation on the part of the owner or other person having charge of the horse, that person shall be warned off New market Heath, and the horse shall bo disqualified from run ning for any public race thereafter." KELSO RACES.—In the Kelso Plate, Our Jim, 4 yrs, 7st 71b, was accidentally omitted. THE WHIP.—Lord Portsmouth has challenged for the Whip, and named Sydmonton, 8 yrs. If the challenge be accepted, to be run for on Thursday in tho First Spring Meeting, 1866, B.C. 10st, 200 sous each, p.p. Lord Glas gow is the present holder of the Whip. The Cattle Plague, Dr. Smart has made a report to the Lord Provost of Edinburgh on the cattle plague. He says : " There are yet only three kinds of drugs which I found it requisite to employ. 1. Laxative, with diu retic action. This is principally used in the early, but often required at other periods, in the progress of the disease. It is composed of nitrate of potash and powdered ginger, of each 1 oz. ; powder of sublimed sulphur, 2oz. ; treacle, 11b ; water to make a quart, and well mixed. This quantity is given night and morning, or, if requisite, oftener, until scouring is produced. Afterwards, an occasional bottle will maintain their free, without excessive, action. As the vitalpowers sink rapidly, there should be as little delay as possible in administering stimu lants. I have found the following mixture possess ing stimulant, diuretic, and diaphoretic properties, very efficacious :—Carbonate of ammonia, of an oz. ; sweet spirit of nitre and spirit of mindereis, of each lioz. ; cold water, 9oz. ; mix. This dose, from the commencement of treatment, is administered thrice a day during the entire course of the disease. When prostration is great it is sometimes needful to enjoin it with the laxative given along with all other medicines. In such cases the doses are smaller. When convalescence is fully established r a simple tonic hastens recovery. I find none so good and safe as cinchona bark. The best quality only should be used, and given in doses of one ounce and a half of the powder. This tonic in the early period of convalescence is combined with the stimulant, and at a later period with a quart of good sweet ale given once daily. It is best admini stered at night. With the exception of an occasional dose of laudanum (two tablespoonfuls to any medi cine the animal is getting, or in the food) to obviate straining and control excessive diarrhoea, no other drugs are used. The diet should be simple, and until decided convalesence, well cooked, and given in small and regulated quantity. I use the following: —l. Full mash ; it is composed of four handfuls of bran, four ditto brewer's draff, lib of peasemeal, 21b of mashed turnips, well boiled. Not too thick, and given night and morning. At midday a drink of gruel is given, made with 21b of oatmeal, well boiled in six quarts of water. In addition to these some raw turnip (21b, for example, of green tops), and 11b of hay, may be allowed in small quantities dur ing the 24 hours. To allay thirst three to four quarts of water, previously boiled and allowed to cool, is given in mouthfuls during the day. This constitutes the full diet of a decided convalescent. Half of this diet is, in most instances, during the acute course of the disease, too much. In all cases the same kind of food and periods of giving it are followed. There are some animals that for a time refuse all food, not excepting gruel. In such cases the gruel is admini stered by the bottle thrice daily, along with or after the medicine. The animal should get a little mash as soon as it takes it voluntarily. It is often expedient to miss a meal, especially whenever symptoms of an unfavourable indication appear. Those are not of uiifrequent occurrence during the course of treat ment. Grass is given, and the quantity of hay and turnips increased as there is progress towards more perfect recovery. The more obvious indications of convalescence are :-1. Recovery of appetite ; 2. Greater animation ; 3. Return of breathing and pulse to their normal condition ; 4. Increase of milk ; 5. Chewing the cud. Summary of treat ment :-1. The animal is at once taken from its ordinary food and separate from the rest. 2. Placed in a well-aired byre or house, free from draughts, and the temperature of which is maintained at 70 deg. F. or 75 deg. P. 3. The animal is well rubbed down, and thoroughly cleaned and covered with a good rug. 4. If there be constipation, begin with laxative and continue night and morning, or, if re quired, oftener until there is free scouring. 5. Let there be no delay in giving the stimulant, and, if needful, combine it with the laxative. 6. Defer giving any ale and bark until convalescence appears. 7. To obviate straining or excessive purging, two tablespoonfuls of laudanum night and morning may be added to other medicine. 8. Be careful to avoid over-feeding, as an error in diet may prove fatal. 9. See that the cow is well milked night and morn ing (even when there is no yield) during the course of the disease. 10. All the droppings should be at once disinfected by solution of chloride of lime, and quickly removed. 11. The affected animals should be frequently and closely observed, and threateninn indications treated as they occur." A Cairo correspondent, writing on the 28th ult. says lam afraid the cattle plague is again manifesting itself here. A native landlord told me two days ago of his having heard of the loss of 19 buffaloes in one homestead, and that the malady had never completely ceased since its first ap pearance. For a long time we have been paying 14 piastres—equal to is. Bd.—for 15 ounces of butter. Meat also fails us occasionally, when we are reduced to dining off cocks and hens. A pair of ducks costs from five to nine shillings—an enor mous price for Egypt." A correspondent says :—" A second crop of figs has been obtained from a tree in the Isle of Wight. lu Southampton and its neighbourhood a great number of plants have flowered the second time. There has been no such season for continued drought and heat since 1811."

The pier, which is expected to be finished by May next, is upon a very largo scale, and the foundation will he no less than forty-five feet below the surface. In the lower portion of the works, green beech instead of iron is to be used. The durability of green beech, when constantly immersed in water, is proved by the discovery of Mr. Edwyn Clarke that such wood in the Thames exists in a condition of the most perfect sound ness for an ascertained period of at least 600 years—a dis covery of no small importance to the owners of beech plan tations. The formation of the pier is proceeding in the harbour of Burntisland, from which at the proper time it will be floated to its position and sunk.
