ONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL IN TELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Quietude is now the principal characteristic of the money market. Very few bills are brought for ward for negotiation, but the brokers will only take those which are of first class. These are negotiable at about 2 per cent. below the Bank of England rate of 10 per cent. At the Bullion Department of the Bank yester day there was no movement of importance. An interim dividend of 8 per cent. had been de clared by the Westminster Brewery Company. The Bank of France returns for the past week shows an increase of £746,640 in the bullion, of £136,000 in the commercial bills discounted, of £BB,OOO in the advances, of £2,344,000 in the notes in circulation, and of £1,380,000 in the current accounts. A decrease of £2,064,000 has taken place in the Treasury balances. The return issued by the Bank of England shows the effect which the quarterly salaries, &c., have had upon the position of the establishment. The gold and reserve notes have been reduced, and there is also a diminution in the other principal items of the account.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the French Rentes were 68f. 10c. All appears uneasiness. The English Stock Market has exhibited slight reactionary symptoms from the high prices of yes terday, but later some active purchases have been made, and quotations have generally returned to their former level. Consols are 871 for money and the 10th inst., and 871 for August. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 861 1; Bank of England Stock, 244 ; India Stock, 207 ; and ditto 5 per Cents., 1031 1. In the Foreign Stock Market sales have gene rally predominated, and prices have receded. The Turkish 5 per Cents. are it lower. New Mexican 1, at 11/ 121; Greek 1, at 11 lit; Spanish Passive 1, at 191 ; and Italian 11, at 54 1. American Securities also exhibit weakness. United States 5-20 Bonds have declined I to 671 1 ; Erie Shares, 11 to 371; and Illinois 1, to 671 77i. The operations in the Railway Share Market have been on a very moderate scale, and in several instances prices have shown a slight decline. North- Western and Metropolitan have each receded ss. ; Great Western and Midland each 10s. ; and Great Eastern, £1 ss. ; while London, Chatham, and over have improved 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines exhibit little change of importance. South Austrian and Lom bardo-Venetian, however, have receded to 151 I.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. - .4.--- VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. (Before Vice-Chancellor Wood.) THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA V. PRIOLEAU-JUDGMENT. Vice-Chancellor Sir. W. Page Wood delivered judg ment in this case, which raised an important question with regard to international law. The United States Govern ment had filed a bill to recover from the defendants, who aro merchants at Liverpool, a considerable quantity of cot ton which had been consigned to them by the Confederate States, and which had been contributed by residents of the Confederate States to enable the Confederates to carry on war against the United States. When the matter came before the court about a year ago, the Vice-Chancellor allowed the defendants to receive £20,000 out of the pro ceeds of the cotton towards satisfaction of their claim against the Confederate States, for whom they were agents during the American war, but ho re quired them to give securities to the amount of £50,000 until the final hearing of the cause. In February last the defendants filed a cross bill against the President of the United States for the purpose of obtaining a full discovery with reference to this affair. The defendants averred that there were matters peculiarly within the knowledge of the President of the United States in reference to the cause, and that his evidence would be important ; and a motion was made on behalf of the defendants for the purpose of enlarging the time for closing the evidence in the original suit until a mouth after President Johnson should have answered the cross-bill on oath. It was contended by the counsel for the defendants that notwithstanding the exalted position of President Johnson, he could not escape from the rule which applied to ordinary individuals who came before the Court as plaintiffs—namely, the obligation of answering upon oath a cross-bill filed against them for the purpose of discovery. The Vice-Chancellor took this view of the case, and said that all who came for justice to that' court must conform to its regulations. In all cases of cor porate bodies a properly appointed officer should answer on oath, but he doubted whether the President was a suffi cient person, because it was not clear that the United States had sufficient control over him to compel him to produce papers, &c. What was asked for now was that the writ should be delayed until the President of the United States had put in his answer. He could not accede to that appli cation, because he could not take judicial notice of the Pre sident, but what he could do was to allow the writ to be delayed until an answer was put in by a properly accre dited officer of the United States, and he should make an order to that effect. As soon as all these preliminary matters are settled, the case, which excites much interest in commercial circles, will come on for hearing. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.) CHAPLIN V. CHAPLIN, MULLER, AND MOORE. This was a suit by the husband, a wine merchant in St. Mark's-lane, City, for a dissolution, on the ground of his wife's adultery with both co-respondents, and all the de fendants merely pleaded denial. The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Wambey were counsel for the petitionor ; Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Dr. Spinks for the respondent ; and Mr. Sergeant O'Brien, Mr. Inder wick, and another learned gentleman for the defendants. From the statement of counsel it appeared that the al leged adultery with Muller lasted from May, 1864, to July, 1865, and with Moore during portions of the years 1865 and 1866. Tho defendant was only 17 years of age, and the respondent was 35, and held the situation of house keeper in a tradesman's family when they were introduced to each other by a relation of the latter. They were mar ried shortly afterwards in 1852, and went to reside in Islington. They lived together uptil December, 1861, when some disagreement arising between them they sepa rated by mutual consent, and the petitioner agreed to allow the respondent £2OO a year, and advanced her £lOO to purchase furniture and other necessaries. A change subsequently took place in his circumstances, and he re duced the allowance to £lOO a year. The respondent after the situation took lodgings at Mildmay-road, Islington, where she formed the acquaintance of the co respondents, one of whom was a commission agent and the other a clerk in a respectable establishment. She removed to St. Mark's-toad, Notting-hill, and her intimacy with Moore was continued. The petitioner asked for no damages. William Downs, a cousin of the respondent, proved to having introduced her to her husband. He believed the latter was about 21 and the respondent was older. He visited them after the marriage, and Mr. Chaplin always treated his wife with great kindness. He deposed also to having seen the respondent in company with both co respondents, and under circumstances of suspicion. Mr. William Chaplin, brother of the petitioner, gave similar evidence as to the intimacy with the co-respondents. Other witnesses were called for the petitioner's case. The jury found a verdict for the petitioner. Decree nisi with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. A SAD STORY.—THE MARQUIS TOWNSHEND AND THE BEGGARS.—Mary Ann Heaviland, a girl charged by the Marquis Towushend with begging in Piccadilly, was again brought before Mr. Kr ox. The girl begged of the Marquis in Piccadilly, and on his recognising het as a girl he had once before charged at this Court., but who was allowed to go at large on her father promising that he would not send her out begging again, he gave her into custody. Mr. Knox ordered inquiries to be made respecting the girl, and Sergeant Bunce, 5 C, who invariably displays great care in his inquiries, said he had ascertained that the girl's mother was dead, and the father, who got his living as a tinker, had lately broken up his home, and gene, he be lieved, into the North of England, and the poor girl was now destitute. . Mr. Knox said ho thought the best thing would be to send the girl to a school. A poor girl with a child in her arms got into the witness box, and stated that she was the prisoner's sister. Mr. Knox asked her whose child it was she had in her arms ? The girl said it was her mother's, but her mother was dead. She would look after her sister if the magistrate would let her go. Mr. Knox put some questions to the sister, and from her answers it was evident she had a hard struggle to main tain herself and her child. The Marquis Towushend said he would look after the sister and see whether something could not be done for her. Mr. Knox aaid it was proved the girl's father was away, and that she was utterly destitute. He should certainly send her to an institution for five years. The girl was subsequently taken by Welsh, the office keeper, to that valuable institution, the Cripples' Home, Marylebone-road, and at once admitted. WROLESALE SWINDLING. The particulars of one of the most gigantic swindling schemes ever concocted on the other side have just been revealed in this city by the arrest of some of the principals at Lockport, New York, where several of the villains bad retired to spend their ill-gotten gains, in the expectation of undis turbed felicity. The fects as detailed present a scheme so skilfully planned as might have ensured success but for the circumstance that their victims, once on the alert, were as sharp as the swindlers, and now, with the aid of detectives, have succeeded in bagging the greater number of them. About 8 or 10 months ago an establishment styled the Canton Banking House was started in the town of Canton, St. Lawrence County, New York. The persons en gaged in the undertaking—some 30 in number—ob taining all the paraphernalia of a legitimate institu tion, had made their business notice sufficiently public in " Thompson's Bank Note Reporter," and took other precautions to endeavour to assure the public that they were on a sound basis. Meanwhile their swindling operations were set on foot—persons being despatched in all directions with drafts on the Se cond National Bank of New York, drawn by a Mr. Clarke, who has since turned State's evidence, in the hope of escaping from the web so completely woven around his confederates. He has stated that no less than $200,000 in this worthless paper was issued, all payable at the bank named, where for a few days the sum of $5OO lay to the credit of one of the parties concerned, but that it was all, with the exception of $12.50, withdrawn a few days subse quently. The many agents of the concern here then flooded the country with this worthless trash ; $200,000 was a large stake, and if they only won occasionally there was yet a large per centage over the rewards of honest labour. In Buffalo a considerable sum was cashed, New York was slightly " bitten," while even as far south as Kentucky and Alabama the ras cals are said to have pushed their unlawful scheme. It is estimated that by this means fully $lOO,OOO of the waste paper was disposed of to the duped vic tims. The first intimation of the affair in Canada was made in December last, when Mr. H. Forbes, broker, of this city, was asked to cash a draft for $4,500 on the bogus concern by a party represent ing himself to be a cattle buyer in want of money, and who had been introduced as such by Mr. Pal mer, of the Albion Hotel here. Mr. Palmer had been assured of the reliability of the fellow only by a con federate, a man named Hezekiah S. Bennet, on whom the weight of the law is now likely to fall in full force as one of the principals in the affair. Mr. Forbes consulted the detector, found the house advertised, and the party, a man named Loomis Willard, appear ing to answer his own representations, he cashed the draught immediately ; but scarcely had he done so when he thought something was wrong. Tele graphing to the banking-house he only received an answer from an operator saying that Mr. Clarke, the drawer of the draft, was in New York. This heightened his doubts to a well-founded suspicion, and telegraphing to the Second National Bank, their presumed agents, he was informed that they had only $12.50 to their credit. He immediately went to Lockport, and on reaching there was in formed that one of the drafts for $1,500 had been presented at the Exchange Bank of that city and was about being paid, the clerk having retired to obtain the sanction of the manager, when the operator, suspecting that he was detected, made off, leaving the draft in the possession of the clerk, who only then became aware of the narrow escape from being victimised. Mr. Forbes's visit to Lockport was almost on the same day, and he had just entered the First National Bank of that city when they in formed him that a draft for sl,lothad been cashed, fully believing that it was genuine. The doubts of Mr. Forbes changed their tone, and by the aid of a detective they shortly afterwards recovered the full amount. Mr. Forbes, however, found Willard worth nothing, but, after some trouble, succeeded in con uectingßennett with the scheme—the former having been acting as Bennett's tool, he receiving $5OO of the money for his services as " stool pigeon," while Bennett retained the lion's share. The man C. E. Clarke, who has " peached" on the rascals, appears to have been fully as guilty as the others ; but his not obtaining his expected share in the proceeds, as well as the fear of the State prison, induced him to reveal his scheme in the transaction, and help to bring the others to justice. Several other parties in Canada have lost more or leas by the swindlers— Mr. J. W. Murton, of Hamilton ; Mr. Patterson, of Port Hope ; and others, being named. It is also said that the Bank of British North America, at London, has lost $l,OOO by one of the parties hav ing deposited a large sum there for collection, and obtained an advance to that amount. In Buffalo several extensive hauls were made, and Detroit and many sections of Pennsylvania were visited with the same intention—in many cases successfully. One party in Buffalo a few days ago recovered $4,500, an amount sufficient to cover all loss and damage, besides a bonus, from a man named Chappell, the agent negotiating there. A serious difficulty has, however, presented itself with regard to the two prisoners, Bennett and Willard, arrested at the in stance of Mr. Forbes, they having committed the act in Canada, while the conspiracy to defraud, on which they are held, was concocted in the United States. Still, strenuous efforts will be made to bring the perpetrators of the scheme to their full deserts, and, if possible, they will be held to account for their actions. The trial commenced at Lockport on Tuesday last, the arrest having been made a few days previously.—Toronto Daily Globe. THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND CAPTAIN KENNEDY, OF TILE CITY OF PARIS.—At a meeting of the Liverpool Local Marine Board yesterday (Thursday), a presentation was made to Captain James Kennedy, of a splendid gold chronometer, from the President of the United States, for gallant conduct on the part of Captain Kennedy in saving the crew of an American ship in January last. The following letter addressed to her Ma jesty's Lords of the Admiralty, fromthe American Minister in London, was read at the meeting : -" Legation of the United States, London, 14th May, 1866. My Lords—The American ship Meridian sailed from New York, on the 24th November last, bound for London. It appears from reports received by my Government, that on her voyage she encountered a succession of storms, which by the 24th of December had had the effect of leaving her a floating wreck at the mercy of the winds and waves. On the Ist of January she was descried by the steamer City of Boston, which at once came to the relief of the distr ssed people on board. But such was the state of the ocean that no assist ance could be rendered except by the agency of the life boat belonging to the steamer. In this emergency Captain Kennedy, with the aid of a picked crew, who cheerfully exposed themselves to this perilous experiment, succeeded in saving the lives of all the persons on board, and trans ferring them in safety to his own vessel. The conduct of Capt. Kennedy, through the energy and promptness dis played in the direction of this enterprise is described by the rescued persons as eminently conducive to its success. Whilst, therefore, my Government has taken the necessary steps through other channels to recognise the value of the services of the boat's crew, I have been directed especially to mark the sense entertained by the President of the action of Capt. Kennedy, by asking of your lordships to cause to be transmitted to him the ac companying gold watch, together with an assurance of his high appreciation of his noble, friendly, and humane con duct upon this critical occasion.—Remaining, &c., CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS." We may add that Capt. Kennedy is in command of the City of Paris, one of the Inman line of steamers, and has just accomplished one of the quickest voyages from New York to the Mersey on record. MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—On Wed nesday morning Mr. Robert Armstrong, the owner of considerable property, living in Lowther-street, Carlisle, was murdered by one of his tenants, named Holywell, who keeps a large iun. Holywell, in a tipsy state, went to Mr. Armstrong at his own home, to see him about some griev ance, but his landlord told him to come when he was sober, and then be would speak to him. The man was , complying at first, and had got as far out as the kitchen when he turned round, grasped Mr. Armstrong by the collar, dashed him against the door, threw him upon the kitchen floor, and, still holding him by the collar pounded the back of his head against the flags until it was r(.sduc•ed almost to a jelly. Alarms were raised, and Holy well made off home while others were bringing a surge on. He got another dram of whisky and ran upstairs, where his he was stopped in the act of adjusting a P neck. Mr. Page, surgeon, wa s speedily b rought round to Mr. Armstrong, but it was hopeless. 110 appreh ended. deafter wards.puty, who His assailant has, of course, b een died shortly Mr. Petruccelli della Gattina, the Italian who has been for some time the Italian c or r espondent of the Debats, has received orders, the Armonia states, to dis continue his military correspondence with the French press under pain of being arrested. - • TIURD EDITION.

A ROUGH AND VIOLENT FELLOW.--WILFUL DAMAGE. — Samuel Marsh, a jobbing bricklayer, about 50 years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting several persons, and breaking two large panes of plate glass, valued at £l2. Yesterday evening the prisoner, who was partially in toxicated, was in the Hoop and Grapes public-house, in Ratcliff-highway, with some ale in a pot, and he fastened a quarrel on some peacable guests in front of the bar, and threatened to throw the ale in their faces. He then became very noisy and troublesome, and on Mr. Henry Holt, the landlord, putting his hand on the prisoner's shoulder and requesting him to leave the house he struck him with his fist on the face. Mr. Holt then attempted to eject the pri soner from the house, and he made a violent and determined resistance, in the course of which he seized a cask and overturned it, and received a severe blow on the nose. He was forced out of the house by several persons, and he then said " Look out," and obtained several bricks, which he threw at the window, breaking two large panes of glass, each valued at £6. A boy named Robert Rupp, in the employ of Mr. Holt, was struck by one of the bricks, and his head was cut open. Other persons were assaulted by the prisoner, and a coachman had a narrow escape of being struck by one of the bricks, which he avoided by " bobbing his head," and it passed over him. The Prisoner said he had been much ill-used by Mr. Holt and others, and that he would pay for the glass he had broken by instalments. The prisoner's wife asserted that her husband was dread fully Mused by the people connected with the publiehouse, and that he would have been murdered but for the inter ference of the police. Mr. Paget investigated the charge of cruelty made against Mr. Holt and others, and found it to be quite false. No more force was used than was necessary to turn the prisoner out of the house. Mr. Paget said that he could not overlook such misconduct as that committed by the pri soner, who had sl&saulted the landlord, and returned to the Hoop and Grapes with the deliberate intention of destroy ing the landlord's property. Mr. Holt's conduct was very proper, and he had a right to turn a disorderly customer out of the house. He sentenced the prisoner to one months' imprisonment and hard labour. Liverpool Cotton Market—(This Day.) --4,-- Market opens firm, and fully id. advance in American and Id. in Dhollerah over last Friday. Sales probably 20,000 bales.

Sugars have been held for advanced rates, while coffee is in good demand at an advance of ls. to 2s. per cwt. The public sales of tea have proc ee d e d with outany material c hange in prices ; while in rice, fruit, spices, and saltpetre there has been no change of importance as regards values.

Fifteen Fenian prisoners have been committed to gaol at Sweetsburg, Canada, in order to await their final trial, which will be commenced in a few days. A Fenian meeting was held on Sunday in the vicinity of Jones' -wood. It was addressed by James Stephens, who declared that Roberts and Sweeney were not in concert. On Monday night a Fenian mass meeting was held in Union-square. Roberts spoke, and in the course of his remarks said that the next time the Fenians moved it would be with an impetus that no power could withstand. A letter from Horace Greeley expressing sympathy with the Fenian cause was read to the meeting. Resolutions were adopted declaring that " the truckling of the Federal Executive and the Secre tary of State to the designs of European monarchists merits the strongest reprobation. The Senate has passed the bill to continue in force for two years the Freedmen's Bureau. The bill now goes to the House of Representatives for concurrence. In reply to the late resolution of the house the President has sent to Congress a list of all Ameri can citizens reported to have arrived in Ireland since the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act.

COLONIAL. - - ---- TEA.—The public sales have proceeded without any animation, and prices generally are inactive. SUGAR.— There have been no public sales, but the ad vices from the continent have caused a firmer tone, and holders are demanding a slight advance on present rates. COFFEE. —A firmer tone was apparent, caused by the favourable character of the continental advices. Superior qualities of Plantation Ceylon sold readily at an advance of is to 2s per cwt. RicE. -- :-Business has remained very quiet, and prices generally are firm. SALTPETRE. —There have been no sales of importance, and late rates are generally current. TALLOW. —The market is quiet.

The season for oranges being over, some parcels Messina and Palermo lemons, sold by Keeling and Runt at public sale, went at similar prices to those obtained last week. Nuts of all kinds dull, the quantity of fresh fruits now being received interfering with the sale. MAGNETIC PERTURBATION.—The Academy of Sciences has received a paper from M. Mermet, Professor of Natural Philosophy at Marseilles, on certain curious perturbations of the needle in consequence of the earth quake which occurred in that town on the 19th of May last. The circumstances were as follows:—On that day Professor Mermet was explaining to his class the use to which the mariner's compass is applied, and he had just ma d e it d ev i ate eastwar d s f rom i ts original position, when, instead of oscillating regularly right and left of the magnetic meridian, it suddenly veered to the west, at the same time oscillating irregu larly from left to right and up and down, just as if it attributing this action to three small keys he had i w n ere his for w ci a b i ly stco a a c t ted p( ::: b y a magnet. The professor, put them away, and re cofrom the table by way of further precaution ; but the sam m e me a n b e n e o d rm t a h l e m e o x ti P o ei motions were going to some distance perceived. While both he and his pupils were observing this singular phenomenon, two shocks were felt: a strange noise was heard proceed ing from the cabinet of Natural Philosophy, separated from the amphitheatre by a thin partition, and while the floor was still quivering under the influence of the shook the g la ss doors of the presses grated on a telegraphic apparatus sounded, and the shutters of the windows knocked against on their the bell o f its plate, hinges, the receiv er o f the air-pump shoo k the wall.' Before the effects of the two shocks were quite over, the needle returned to the magnetic meridian, and soon became stationary there. But for the space of 14 minutes it remained in a case of tremor which can only be explained by the subterraneanean action in pro gress, since, the experiments being soon after resumed, no further irregularity was remarked. Hence M. Mermet con cludes that the generally received opinion, according to which earthqualus do not disturb the regular action of the exc ept mechanic a lly, can no l onger b e main tained, need le, sine the needle in this instance was disturbed five minutes before the shock occurred.
