ONEY iIARKET AND COMMERCIAL •INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The rate of discount at the Bank of England continues at 10 per cent, and there was no expecta tion that a reduction would be made. The outflow of gold from the establisment during the past week has been upon such an immense scale, and the dis tribution of the] half-yearly dividends have com bined to weaken the position of the establishment, and to preclude any hope of a downward move ment being effected for some time. The inquiry for acco mmodation is now small, and although the brokers in the open market have an abundance of capital at their command, the quotations for the best bills still range from 8 to 10 per cent. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up t o this day, are in round figures as under : 1866. 1865.

The news from the continent is far from encouraging, and the adverse tendency of the specie movement has induced sales.

THE ASSAULT ON AN ACTRESS BY A SUPPOSED MAD- NlAN.—Cornelius Speedy, a respectable-looking man, who was last week charged with assaulting a young woman, who described herself as an actress, and gave her name Alice Sheil, Little Rupert-street, was again brought before Mr. Knox. When before the magistrate last week the defendant be• hayed in such a violent manner that every one who wit nessed his conduct believed him to bo mad. On being placed at the bar to-day his conduct was quite the reverse of what it had been on the former occasion. Mr. Knox told the defendant that he understood ho had been labouring under delirium tremens, the result of exces sive drinking. He (defendant), a strong man, had been guilty of an unprovoked and violent assault on an un offending young woman. The defendant said his mind had been affected three or four times, but not so much from drink as trouble. He had five months ago lost his wife through a premature confinement, and grief through that had broken him down. What he had done, and for which he was now very sorry, was the will of God, and he begged pardon for acting as he had done. He would, if the magistrate would let him go back to Ireland, never offend again. Mr. Knox said that the defendant talked about his act being the will of God. It was evident that it arose through his giving way to drinking. He could not permit such things to bo passed over, and he would be unworthy of the position he held if he did se. He should commit the defendant for two months with hard labour. A Meeting of London Thieves. Last evening a gathering of a most peculiar character took place in the neighbourhood of the Middlesex Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green, in accordance with an advertised notice running thus :—" Thieves, thieves, thieves, attend the public meeting in the Mission-house, Turnmill-street, Clerkenwell, near to Hicks's-hall, on Wednesday evening next. Addresses will be delivered by a returned convict and three convicted thieves. Doors Open at seven. Free admission." The building in which the meeting was held is part of rebuilt premises, No. 55, Turnmill-street, immediately facing the wall of the Metropolitan Railway, and used as the Cow-cross District Mission-house. The largo roost originally intended for the assembling of the fraternity is nice and cleanly white washed, with comfortable seats and a sort of platform or rostrum at the end facing the entrance, and capable of accommodating 300 or 350 persons when filled. In addi tion to the above, which was advertised, a very pressing invitation was issued by Mr. W. J. Cattlin, who acts as secretary to the mission, to all the most depraved charac ters in this notorious neighbourhood, including, as it does, the purlieus of Cow-cross, West-street, Saf fron-hill, and the hundred-and-one adjuncts of the Fryingpan alley stamp. The thieves were visited at their own homes, and in the quarters where they were known by a privileged few to resort ; but the result was that soon after the appointed hour the large room was crammed to suffocation, and indeed at a subse quent period of the evening the demand of the crowd to hear the various speakers was so vehement that it was found necessary to despatch some of those down on the list to speak to hold a second meeting in another part of the building, and this was as speedily and as densely crowded as the first, and still there were crowds of lin gerers outside who found it impossible to gain ad mission, and expressed their disappointment is no very measured terms. Precisely at half-past seven the proceedings commenced wiih Mr. Cattlin offering up a suitable prayer, after which the assemblage, which up to this time was composed about equally of males and females of nearly all ages, and of a very quiet and respectful demea nour, commenced singing a hymn to the accompaniment of a blind young woman on the harmonium, when a violent rush was heard from.the approaches from the street, and immediately the place was besieged by a mob of men and boys, who wore most indubitably the badge of the class to which they belonged, and for whose especial benefit the meeting had been called. In every description of dress, broad-cloth coats, fustian suits, the seedy and shabby gen teel, the ragged shirt" sleeva, unvested, and a piece of string to uphold the nether garment, with a majority of begrimed flesh and suspiciously cropped hair ; this stream poured into the place. The coarse sallies and jests, and in some few cases the condemnation of the atmosphere in language not fitted for ears polite, completely drowned the singing and playing, and it was some time before the efforts of the committee resulted in getting this great influx properly seated, and restoring something like quiet. However, with all this apparent rabble, thelanguage uttered generally was not of that character which might have been expected from that class. Beyond a slight admonition for laughing and talking, there was nothing to complain of in the general conduct of the closely packed mass, unless it was the use of such expressions as "Come out, Jim, this is too hot for me," or "All right, Bill, I've sent out for a gallon of ale ; let's have that." On the other hand, the majority paid marked attention and respect tothe addresses of the various speakers, and joined heartily in the singing of the hymns, and in more than one case the tears could be seen running down the cheeks of some of the older thieves. One man, evidently approaching his allotted threescore and ten, sob bed audibly, on the expression of some well pointed moral, and wiped his eyes with his old cloth cap. Amongst the juveniles the true character of Lord Shaftesbury's young London Arab was plainly manifested. After singing the 64th Hymn, Mr. Cattlin delivered a short but impres sive address, introducing the "returned convict," and the "converted thieves" to the meeting, and in doing so spoke of his experience in the mission, and of the sorrow and misery of the thief, even in his best times, and their mental and bodily sufferings at others. He pointed to the various scriptural texts which were con spicuously placed in different parts of the room in support of his exhortations to his hearers to repentance. A young looking man, of foreign appearance (John F--), who was described as a converted billiard-marker and gambler, then offered a very long prayer, and some portions of the Scrip tures were read. Jim S-- was then introduced as one of the converted thieves. He was dressed in a suit of black, and appeared in a very anxious mood to deliyer his address. He traced the history of his fall:from the path of honesty and his return to it again. As the speaker was retiring a scene of great violence and uproar took place, in consequence of the entrance of a man in a state of mad intoxication, and who was said to be blind ; he screechedand howled, and tearing off his coat challenged the best man to fight. The women rushed out of the place screaming, and in the mêlée several people were knocked down, but at length two or three powerful men seized the intruder and carried him out, receiving severe blows, kicks, and scratches as their reward. The returned convict (on order being restored) then came for ward and delivered his address; and after some further prayer and singing the meeting was brought to a close, and the large assemblage quietly dispersed. There wore no police about the place in . ltniform, although a detectiye or two were recognised by soMe - Orthe fraternity. THE WIMBLEDON MEETING. The shooting for the first, or 200 yards stage of the Queen's Prize commenced at nine o'clock, and owing to the arrangements made by Capt. Costin, proceeded without hitch of any kind during the day. It is too soon to form any estimate yet as to the 60 shots who may prove victorious in the earlier stage of the contest, since many who are well to the front in the first or second distances fell away or are overtaken by others at a later period. The follow ing, however, are the highest scores, a& far as those have been at present recorded : FIRST STAGE QUEEN'S.-200 Yards. Points.

An entertainment committee has been formed, consisting of Colonel th e Hon. C. H. Lindsay, Captain Page, and Captain Pixley repre senting the official, and Captain Styan, Lieutenant Harrison Wier, and Lieutenant Farley representing the non-official element. The attendance of the Belgian Minister is looked forward. to, and with a view to add éclat to the proceedbags the bands of the London Rifle Brigade, Queen's Westminsters, Ist Surrey, and London Scottish regiments have been placed at the disposal of the committee. Of these the London Scottish band is, in a measure, the private band of the Council of Wimbledon, perform ing two or three times every day, with much ap plause, in different parts of the grounds, their new bandmaster, Mr. Louis Beck, having bestowed great pains upon their training. Some idea of the rate at which the Camp has grown and is growing yearly may be gathered from the official status sent in to the Camp-commandant, Colonel the Hon. W. J. Colville. Last year there were sleeping in the marksmen's camp and regi mental quarter 900 Volunteers, not taking into ac count the staff of the Assoeiation, camp followers, soldiers, police, or anybody else, but strictly the wearers of a Volunteer uniform. This year those 900 have grown into 1,150, and a corresponding growth is observable in all the other departments. Honourable mention has been repeatedly made of the Club, which this year is even more luxuriously fitted up than on former occasions. In addition to its other features the Camp also boasts of a capacious theatre. Last evening, after gun-fire, a dramatic performance was here given by members of the St. George's Rifle Corps, affording much amusement and satisfaction to the Camp, and an attentive audi ence. Lord and Lady Elcho, and several members of the Council, honoured the performances with their presence, and these did not conclude until a late hour. THAMES. MELANCHOLY EVENT.—William Stiffell, a carman in the service of Mr. William Stephens, a respectable and exten sive dust contractor in Shadwell and Wapping, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with causing the death of a child named Rebecca Hornibrook, aged six years. The prisoner was coming out of his master's dustyard this morning with a horse and cart for the purpose of making his dust collections, when the deceased got in the way of the horse, was knocked down and run over. Sho was killed. The prisoner was driving in a careful manner, and it did not appear there was any blame to be attached to the prisoner. Mr. Partridge believed the coroner's jury would return a verdict of accidental death. He liberated the prisoner on his own recognizanccs to appear on Saturday next. EMBEZZLEMENT.— Frederick Schummecher, a German baker, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with feloniously appropriating to his own use various sums of money he had received for and on account of Christian Hisir, his master, of John-street, Limehouse. The prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Hisir for six weeks, when he left without previous warning. It was afterwards discovered by his master that he had been re ceiving money of his master's customers to whom he had delivered bread, and that ho had not accounted for the same. There were a great many cases against him ; the magistrate selected three—the prisoner received 102. from one customer, 3s. sd. from a second, and 2s. 7d. from a third. He was committed for trial on the three charges. MARKETS.—This Day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was about an average supply of beasts on sale here to-day. All prime breeds moved off steadily, at full prices ; otherwise the trade was in a sluggish state, at barely late rates. A few very superior beasts realised 6s per 81bs. Sheep, the show of which was moderate, moved off slowly ; nevertheless, very little change took place in the quotations. The best Downs and half-breds produced fully 6s per 81bs. Lambs were in moderate supply and fair request, on former terms—viz., from 6s 8d to 8s per Blbs. Calves were very inactive, at barely stationary prices. In pigs very little was doing, at last week's currency.

The great attraction at the present time in the metropolis is the performance of " El Nino Eddie," a wonderful boy, at the Alhambra Palace, Al though but 11 years old, he performs all the feats which won for M. Blondin a world-wide reputation. That a child of such tender years should possess such wonderful nerve and self-reliance is remark able ; but he seems to be quite enamoured of his perilous pathway as he trips titer the obstructive me with cat-like dexterity: The happy smile which radiates the countenance of the little fellow whilSt 'gbh* through his astonishin g performance bears a remarkable contrast to the fear depicted in the upturned faces of the audience ; he never evinces the slightest feari nBt e eri iinclei; the diflictilt direihnr stahees of having a sack placed upon his head, or with hisfeet enclosed in baskets. El Nino Eddie is the son of Mr. Richard Rivers, and was born in New York in 1855 ; he is, consequently, in the tenth year of his age. He made his first appearance as a pro fessional rope-dancer in Havana, in 1863, with Chiarini's Circus, where he created the most extra ordinary furore, and received the appellation of " El Nino," by performing all the perilous, daring feats of Blondin and Leon Javelli. As a tight rope dancer he equals the greatest and excels the majority of the most renowned artistes that have been seen in this or any other country, exhibiting the same grace that Herr Cline did in his youthful days ; in fact, this wonderful boy is brimful of talent, and exhibits a marked genius for every de partment of his profession. El Nino Eddie's en gagement is a brief one ; we, therefore, advise a visit to the Alhambra, although the temperature in London is almost equal to au Indian summer, City Sews s Commission. The Commissioners of Sewers of the city of London met in the Sewers Court-room, at Guildhall, on Tuesday, for the despatch of public business. Mr. Deputy De Jersey, the chairman of the commission, presided, and there was a large attendance of members. The first part of the sitting was occupied in the hearing of applications for c e ll ar fl aps, s h op f ron t s , an d o th er projec tions over th e p u bli c ways of the City, and subsequently three summonses taken out against Mr. Starkey, one of the contractors under the commission, were disposed of. Two of them related tl neglect in cleansing certain streets in the City, and the third to neglect in the removal of dust from one of the houses within his district. After hearing the several summonses at length, fines amounting to £l3 were imposed. DISEASED MEAT. Dr. LETIIEBY, the medical officer of health, presented a report stating that during the past week the markets and slaughter-houses of the City had been duly inspected, and that the officers had condemned 8,4991 b. of meat as unfit for human food. It consisted of 30 sheep, 6 pigs, 35 calves, 17 quarters of beef, and 225 joints of meat. Nearly the whole of the meat was in a putrid state. He added, that on Thursday last one of the inspectors seized in Newgate market three-quarters of a cow in a very diseased condi tion, which were condemned by Mr. Alderman Salomons as unfit for human food. It was now submitted that the case was of sufficient importance to require investigation with a view to legal proceedings. The matter was referred to the solicitor to make the necessary investigation accordingly. Dr. LrruEny further stated that in consequence of the large amout of slaughtering now carried on in several of the daughter-houses in Newgate-market he found that they were not sufficiently cleansed, and were becoming very offensive. In one case which occurred on the Saturday previous the offal had accumulated to such an extent as to be a nuisance from its putrefactive condition, when it was removed. He therefore suggested . that orders should be given to the inspectors to summo n b e f ore the mag i strates t h e persons who neglected to p er f orm the cleansing of the i r slaughter commission, houses in accordan ce w i th the rules and regulations of the The recommendation was agreed to, and the inspectors of markets and slaughter-houses were instructed to proceed in the manner suggested, THE GAS SUPPLY. Upon the subject of the gas supply to the City during the past week, Dr. Letheby reported that the illuminating power of the gas had been constantly above the require ments of the Act of Parliament, and the average propor tion of sulphur in the gas of the City and Chartered Com panies was less than 20 grains per 100 cubic feet; but the amount of sulphur in the Great Central Company's gas had on three occasions been excessive, and the gas of the Char tered Company bad been overcharged with ammonia. It was decided that a copy of Dr. Letheby's report should be forwarded to each of the companies supplying the City with gas. A communication was read from the parish of St. Mary, Islington, asking for t he co-o peration of the City authori ties with the various p arishe s and district boards of the metropolisaniesof the i m etropolis m on Sundays as well as on the othe r days of the week, and sug gesting that a deputati on shoul d be appointed to wait on the eatirloinpoglis an effort t o i nduce the water com r,to supply water to the inhabitants companies vtith that object; and also that petitions should be presented to both Houses of Parliament for such an amendment of the Metropolis Water Act, 1862, as shall compel the eonipanies to adopt a constant instead of the present intermittent supply. The matter was referred to the General Purposes Com mitteeof some other bUsi ness , th e comm i ss i oners for consideratio n, ad A jo l u te rn r eddi.6P°sin6 THE NEGLECTED CONDITION OF. THE DEAF AND DUMB.—England, with its deaf and dumb popula tion of 12,236, supports 11 institutions for their education, containing together about 1,000 pupils ; Scotland supports 5, with about 240 inmates; and Ireland 7, with about 400 inmates : making in all 23 schools, with accommodation for about 1,640 pupils —about one -twelfth of a class of un fortunate beings who have been described as " deficient in the sense most important to the intellectual and spiritual nature of man," whose need of education is most urgent, and whose claims upon our pity are both powerful and just. There are, therefore, 18,671 deaf-mutes, out of the 20,311 in this country , for wh om no recognised means of Many of these are, no doubt, supposing we admit that 5,000 (?) sort of educatio n , th ere s till re mains ihnas v: t instruction n oteedireceived eraidrveas some p eml r ye o v ; e more than 15,000 in a state - of mental destitution—the ma jority young and capable of instruction.

These two boxes made their appearance yesterday, supporting appropriate figures of a size which, in the language of sculpture, would be called heroic. The Belgians yesterday proceeded to London to pay their respects to the Lord Mayor. To night they will be entertained at dinner by the Volunteers, and to-morrow evening there will be festive games in their honour in the Highland Camp. It mig ht be a questil of some delicacy how far the Council of theme titoannad Rifle Association, founded for the developeoun encourage ment of rifle shooting in ortion oftry, its would be justified in app l y ing funds to the hospitable entertaitunan thi enytpof foreigners h owever welcome as gues ts to this country, bearing ' in mind that our Tir National, unlike the Belgian, is maintained by individual and not by State con tributions. Any difficulty, however, which might arise upon this head has been obviated by subscrip tions freely entered into by everybody at Whale- ,ITIES. The Abyssinian Captives. The following letter has been received from the Emperor of Abyssinia by Dr. Beke. It was brought by Mr. Martin Flad, one of the missionaries so long detained in that country, who has just arrived in England with despatches for her Majesty's Govern ment. Mr. Flad quitted the Emperor's camp at Zagye, on the south-western edge of Lake Tsana, on the 20th day of April last, at which place Mrs. Flad and their three children, Consul Cameron, and the remaining captives, together with Mr. Rassam and his suite, are detained until Mr. Flad's return : " In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, one God, King of Kings, Teoderos, may this reach the Englishman Charles Theodore Beke. Thou and thy wife, by the power of God, have reached my country. Are you well ? I, God be praised, am well. What time you come ? Come by Matamma. As regards the persons who were imprisoned, by the power of God, out of friendship to the Queen of England, I have liberated them and given them to Mr. Hormuz Rassam. May this [give you pleasure. Written at Zagye in the 7358 year since the creation of the world and the 1858th year since the birth of Christ." To this letter is affixed the Emperor's seal, bear ing the device of " the Lion of the Tribe of Judah," with the title, " The King of Kings, Teoderos of Etheopia," in Ethiopic and in Arabic characters. Railway and Other Companies. CARMARTHEN AND CARDIGAN. A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Chatham-place, Black friars ; Mr. Everitt in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the object of the meeting was to appoint a bill for separating the construction of the Kidwelly Branch Railway from the general undertaking of the Carmarthen and Cardigan Rail way. The Solicitor read the whole of the bill for autho rising the construction of the Carmarthen and Car digan (Kidwelly branch) as a separate undertaking, and for that purpose to raise £lOO,OOO of additional share capital, with the usual borrowing powers. The separate capital of the Kidwelly branch was to be entitled to 6 per cent. interest, and any surplus to be assigned to the general shareholders of the company. It also appeared that £70,000 was authorised to be raised by the Carmarthen and Car diganshire Company's Kidwelly Branch Act 1865, but the affairs of the Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway Company being so involved it was found impossible to construct the Kidwelly branch unless entirely separated from the general undertaking. It was also very desirable for the Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway to construct the branch to the Kidwelly coal district ; and it was arranged that the share capital of the Kidwelly branch should consist of the two sums mentioned of 1100,000 and £70,000, making £170,000, in 17,000 shares of 10 each. The sum of £2 per share was to be paid up, and when 60 per cent. of the whole amount was paid up the shares might be divided into preferred and deferred shares. The CHAIRMAN, in moving a formal resolution approving the bill, said he thought it would be de sirable for the absent ordinary shareholders to know t Lat, out of 2,800 ordinary shares, proxies had been sent iu favour of the bill by holders of 2,477 shares. O sentu 080 of pref erence cap it a l , prox i es were £123,000 in f avour o f th e bill. On t oft hIl of Mr. K NIGHT, secon d e d by Mr. e t rmotion i o I 7 representing TYLER, a formal resolution approving the bill was carried unanimously, and the proceedings termi nated. RAILWAY BILLS.

The report of the directors states an estimate only could be formed of the probable net result of the ac counts for the year which would be presented at the next meeting.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT-July 1j NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) TILE CHARGE OF PERJURY AGAINST MRS. ALLEN. This afternoon Ellen Allen, a fashionably-dressedlemale, was indicted for having committed wilful and. corrupt perjury - The prisoner seems about 35 years of age, with a re markably prepossessing appearance. She is what is gene rally termed a brunette, with black and shining hair, and was attired in a mauve-coloured dress, over which she wore a black lace shawl. On being placed before the Recorder the prisoner commenced weeping very violently, and during the greater part of the trial her face was buried in her handkerchief. Mr. Poland was for the prosecution, and briefly stated the case upon which th e c h arge was preferred against r i o t f e s w s le l i n a : )e g r a o s e c u t o r the ttem defendant. a n h Moseley, r' dentist, is w a ho p , membered,re was a passenger on the North-Western. Railway, on the evening of the occurrence, from Pinner to Euston-square, and the only person travelling in the same compartment as Mr. Moseley was the defendant. On the way to.town Mr. Moseley asked if the cigar he was smoking was objected to, when the defendant replied that it was not, but on the contrary rather agreeable. A slightly animated conversa tion then sprung up between Mr. Moseley and the defen dant, and on the arrival of the train at the terminus the prosecutor was astonished by the defendant demanding hi m card, and making a charge against him of a very s er i ous nature. Mr. Moseley protested his innocence, but it was o f no avail, and eventually, after the matter had been most fully investigated by the magistrate at the Marylebone Police Court, the then defendant, Mr. Moseley, was discharged, and from circumstances that have since transpired the complainant at the police court has now become the defendant at the Old Bailey, the charge against her being wilful and corrupt forgery, committed before the magistrate. Mr. Poland then entered into the details of the whole of the case, and said the present prosecution was of the greatet importance, because as matters now stood it was highly dangerous for a gentleman to occupy a seat in any railway carriage in which a lady and himself would be the only passengers. The man was quite at the mercy of the woman, and a false charge once made it be came almost impossible to rebut it. However, in the pre sent case, the defendant had so prevaricated that he felt he should clearly establish the charge for which she wag indicted. A number of witnesses were then examined, but their evidence was merely a repetition of that which appeared in our Marylebone police report whilst the case was under going investigation. The learned Judge having summed up the evidence, The jury, without retiring from the box, found the prisoner guilty, but recommended her to mercy. The Recorder asked them if it was a unanimous rocom. mendation ? The Foreman of the Jury—Yes. The Recorder—On what grounds do you recommend her to mercy ? One of the jury said on the grounds that he might have taken liberties with the prisoner. The counsel for the prosecuticn then called evidence to show that the prisoner had been in the habit of frequent ing the Victoria Railway Station for the last two years for the purpose of entangling gentlemen. A detective from Scotland-yard said that he had known the prisoner as one of the worst prostitutes inhabiting St. Martin's-lane for the last fifteen years. Tho Recorder, in passing sentence, said—Ellen Allen, the jury have found you guilty of one of the worst crimes any person could have been guilty of. I always pay the greatest respect to the recommendation of a jury, but in this case lam only sorry that the sentence I am about to inflict will scarcely meet the enormity of your offence, but the law will not allow me to pass a higher sentence. The sentence of the Court is that you be kept in penal servitude for five years. The prisoner, who pretended to be shedding tears co piously, was then removed from the bar.
