MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELYE O'CLO. Very little activity has prevailed to-day i n the general discount market, and the inquiries at the Bank have been on a moderate scale. An increase is observable in the available supplies, and the best descriptions of three months' bills are therefore more readily negotiable at the low rate of 2i per cent. It is, nevertheless, believed that at the end of the week there will be a temporary revival of the in quiry through Indian payments, and the usual return to the Bank of loans granted by the autho rities in advance of the dividends. There was a slight advance in some of the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. The Glasgow, from New York, has brought £12,600, and the City of London £16,000. The bullion operations at the Bank, yesterday, comprised a withdrawal of 30,000 sovereigns for Alexandria, and an influx of £29,000 in bar gold, and 10,000 sovereigns received from New Zealand. A quantity of bar silver was sold at ss. Old. per oz. standard, and the Mexican dollars by the last packet at 4s. llfd. per oz. ; these prices showing no alteration. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. sc. Quiet. The Stock Exchange Markets are generally firm, although business is not very active.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per milk pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.17 i per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Xi I7s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-it th per ceut. dearer in Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' eight is about 1101 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit on the importation of go'd fnm the United States. ALAMI IN CUBA.—" Letters from Cuba," says the iVouvelliste de Rouen, " represent the situation of that island in a vet - ) gloomy light. A large house of business in llavannah writes to its correspondents in Eu rope not to send out there more merchandise at present, on account of the abnormal situation of affairs and the social troubles which are impending. In fact, a general rising of the blacks is feared, an event which is looked on as a natural consequence of the abolition of slavery in the United States." WINDSOR CASTLE, July 4.

The Queen of the Netherlands, attended by the ladies and gentlemen of her suite, received her Majesty and the Princess most cordially at the entrance to the hotel, and then conducted them to the royal apartments occupied by her Netherlands Majesty. After a visit of rather more than half an hour's duration, the Queen and the Princess Helena took an affectionate leave of her Majesty and re turned to Windsor. The Queen of the Nether lands, attended by Baroness Dedem, proceeded to the deanery at Westminster at half-past one, and took luncheon with the rev. dean and Lady Augusta Stanley.

Last night about a quarter before 10 o'clock a fire burst out in the cane warehouse of Messrs. Myers, Southwa rk bridge-road. The premises comprised a block of buildings five stories high, these being the warehouses of Messrs. Myers, a store house on the east side, part unlet, and partly, as it was understood, in the occupation, as a storehouse, of Messrs. Moses and Son ; that to the west which had not been occupied, and still further to the west the " Metro politan " publichouso, in the occupation of Mr. Johnston, which has escaped injury. About 12 o'clock the walls on the south of the warehouse of Messrs Myers fell outwards into Castle• street with a terrific crash, knocking in the front portions of several of the houses opposite, and com pelling the inmates to make a precipitate retreat Tho roadway was completely blocked by the falling masses of brickwork and timber, and the work of the firemen was for a time suspended. At one o'clock the fire was got well under, and all fear of further damage was at an end. The pile of warehouses destroyed was of very large extent, being five stories high and a pioportionate depth and width. There is nothing but the bare shell of the buildings left standing, and the loss of property must bo very great. The concourse of people that assembled was very large, and the exertions of the police were severely taxed to procure the necessary room for the firemen to pursue their operations. Several persons were severely injured by the falling of de tached portions of the walls and burning timbers, and it is stated that some of the inmates of the houses in Castle street were so much bruised by tho falling of the back wall of Messrs. Myers' warehouse as to necessitate their removal to the hospital. A fire took place yesterday morning on the premises of Mrs. E. Geach, refreshment-house keeper, 434, West Strand, Conductor George Elsden arrived with the Royal Society's escape from St. Martin's Church, and hearing that some persons were still in the building he pitched his machine, and having entered the second floor, found Mrs. Geach undressed, and inselasible from the smoke. There was in the same room Elizabeth Baylis, a servant, who was also in her night-clothes. These two persons he placed in his escape and brought down in safety. He next entered the first floor, and found a Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and rescued them, The flames were happily confined to the lower part of the building, which is better known as the Lowther Hotel. About the same time another fire took place in the premises belonging to Mr. Nicolas, artificial flower maker, 52, Ohiswell-street, Finsbury. Tho upper portion of the building was filled with lodgers, including a Mr. and Mrs. Thompson and three children, who before the escape had time to arrive rushed down stairs, and the children's clothes were literally burnt on their backs. The other in mates managed to effect their escape from a side door. A large quantity of water was poured upon the flames, but the roof fell in. Mr. Nicolas' premises were all but de stroyed, and serious damage was done to the adjoining pro perty. Another fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Willson, paperhanger and decorator, 8, Amherst-road, Hackney. At the time of the outbreak there were a servant-girl, a young man, and three children in the house. The latter were got out, but a child was loft in the second-floor back. The servant-girl was running about the street in a state of frenzy, when Conductor Thompson, after lowering his escape to pass under the railway arch, raised it again and entered the front room second floor. The smoke being in tense ho was obliged to retreat, and taking his fly-ladder to the back, pitched it against the leads and drew it after him, and then placed it against the window. He entered, and found the child in bed, almost suffocated. He took the child in his arms and brought it down the ladder, for which he was loudly applauded.

The work of withdrawing worn silver coin from circulation goes on constantly ; it was done in 1864 to the extent of £123,500 (nominal value of the coin), and there was a loss of £16,693 by its rec,oinage. DR. PRITCHAIM.—This trial is now going on in Edinburgh, and will form a pretty specimen of the phar maceutical poisons used in medicine, against which the British College of Health, on behalf of the Society of Hygeists, has protested for the last 40 years. Let the public look to it !—British College of Health, Euston-road, London, July 4, 1865. The debts are about £1,781, Capt. Culpepper being a detaining creditor for £352. Amongst the general list of creditors are several well-known West-end tradesmen. Mr. Sargood, on behalf of a creditor, objected to the mode in which the notices had been given. They were posted on Saturday evening, and did not reach the solicitor to the creditors until Monday, while the case was being proceeded with to-day. The Court must be informed that this was a case in which the bankrupt had contracted debts, and loft without the slightest prospect of being able to pay then, and therefore the order of discharge ought certainly to stand over until the choice of assignees. Mr. R. Griffiths said be opposed the order of discharge on behalf of Captain Culpepper, who was a creditor for £350, on account of an yearly furnished house let to the bankrupt. Captain Culpepper had to sue tho baronet who defended the case, and thus ran up the expenses. Mr. Lucas, for the bankrupt, said that his client was prosecuting a claim to a bakery in Scotland, and therefore it could not be said that he had contracted debts without a reasonable expectation of being able to pay. Mr. Sargood—He calls himself a baronet, sir. His Honour adjourned the application until the choice of assignees. Application refused. IN RE THE REV RALPH LIONEL TOLLEMACHE. This bankrupt was described as of several addresses, now a prisoner for debt, clerk in holy orders, and to-day ho applied for his release. Tho bankruptcy is ascribed to "want of means by reason of the continued and unjustifi able interference of my uncle, the Hon. Frederick James Tollemache, M.P. for Grantham." As there were other bankruptcy proceedings before the Court in this matter, his Honour declined to interfere until they were completed. ➢lr. Sargood—ln othor words, he must stop in prison. His Honour—Yes, tho application is refused. - - POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-S TREET. A NICE COACHMAN.—James King, a gentleman's coach man, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and with furious driving. Elam, 189 C, said that about one o'clock this morning ho heard some one shouting in Oxford-street, and on going to the corner of Duke-street he found the defendant sitting on the box of a brougham, the horse being on the pave ment. The defendant was very drunk, and had twice driven his horse on the pavement, once having been stopped by two gentlemen. He detained the defendant till another constable came up, and then took the defendant to the station, and the horse and brougham were sent to the green-yard. The defendant said his horse was blind. In pulling his horse he unfortunately pulled the wro ng rein. The employer of the defendant said he sent him last night to take up some ladies, but he failed to do so, and he (witness) heard no more of him till ho was informed that he was locked up. The defendant had done a good deal of damage to the brougham in an earlier part of the day, and he (witness) had no doubt now that he was not sober then, although ho pretended that the damage was through an accident. Ho intended to discharge him. Mr. lir,ox said that was the best course the master could adopt ; and as the defendant would lose his situation ho should only fine him 10s. If the master thought proper ho could suo the defendant for the amount of damage to the brougham. RELEASE REFUSED, This bankrupt was described as of many addresses, also Church-place, Clapham, one of the directors of the Patent Carriage Co., and to-day he came up to be released from custody. WESTMINSTER. A COUNTESS ON A " STRETCHER."—A very handsomely dressed woman, about 50 years of age, who gave her name Countess Do Lisle Hayes, was brought in the charges from the Cottage-road Station, Pimlico, charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. Mr. Arnold—What does your ladyship say to tho charge ? The Countess—l went out at about half-past seven to call.on my sister-in-law, and returned for somo letters I wanted, and two gentlemen came up to insult me. Mr. Arnold—What answer have you to make to the charge of being drunk, and incapable of taking care of yourself ? Countess—l was certainly not drunk. Mr. Arnold—Let me hear the evidence. Marcus Cronins, 149 B, said that at a quarter past nine last night he found her in lialkin-street, Belgrave-square, with a hundred people round her. She was very drunk. Mr. Arnold—What made you consider her drunk ? Constable—She could not stand. She was so drunk that she fell down and cut her nose. She was so drunk that she could not get up. I asked her to go away, but she would not, and we had to carry hor to the station-house on the stretcher. Countess—l was not drunk. Mr. Arnold—ls there any other witness ? James Brook 311 B, said, 1 saw her and was with her at the station all night. She was drunk and kept singing. Sho made a song of the Lord's prayer, and when she had done that changed it to something else. She smelt very much of liquor. Mr. Arnold—What have you to say now ? Countess—l was not drunk; the crowd trode upon my dress and threw me down. Mr. Arnold—l can have no doubt that you were drunk after the evidence I have heard. Countess—l was surrounded by people. Mr. Arnold—ls this a romance of yours, or are you really Countess de Lisle Hayes, of 60, Mount-street, Grosvenor square ? Countess—l am really what I have described myself. Mr. Arnold—l am sorry to hear it. Your conduct has been most disgraceful. You aro fined ss. for being drunk. The Countess handed the money to the gaoler. THAMES. TILE LAW OF COPYRIGHT-IMPORTANT TO NEWSAGENTS. —Mr. Rosier, a newsagent and vendor of periodical publi cations in Langley-place, Commercial-road-east, applied to Mr. Partridge for a warrant to arrest Clarence Harcourt, an attorney, of 2, King's Arms-yard, Coleman-street, for attempting to extort money from him under false pre tences. Mr. Rosier said the circumstances of the case were both extraordinary and peculiar. The proprietors of a serial publication, called Bow Bells, had given away with the current numbers two wood engravings, " The return from Hawking," after Landseer's celebrated picture, which had been engraved, and " A Distingushed Member of the Humane Society." The newsagents and ven dors of serials obtained no profits whatever on the distribution of the pictures. They wero presented gratis, and were a source of trouble and inconvenience. Nor was the distribution:of the wood engravings on com mon paper likely to affect the sale of the original steel en gravings, whioh commanded a high price. An attorney, named Clarence Harcourt, had, however, forwarded a printed circular demanding compensation for an invasion of the copywright in the pictures belonging to " Messrs. Moore, M'Quoon, and Company (Limited)." Who those parties u we w rehe coul o d o n r o w t i t d e o ll w , ,bulitvihnegkinn a byeeww trhsoCeelta,rewnhcoe le o r , 4 d and . , u sold one dozen c o pi es of Bow Bells weekly, by which she obtained was served with one of the circulars, andanother was demanded of her to settle the matter. The agent who served him, and who was an extensive dealer in serial publications, had not been served with any notice. One of the engravings had been given away with the Illustrated Times ten years ago. One of the pictures was given away with Bow Bells on the 18tb January last, and the second issue was on the 24th of May. Mr. Partridge asked if the publisher of Bow Bells had been communicated with, to which Mr. Rosin said the publisher could not be found. Mr. Partridge—lt seems to me, if there is any invasion of a copyright, the proprietors and publisher only should be proceeded against, and notice given to the poor people who bind these serial publications. A gentleman iii Court said that Harcourt had sent out a hundred at I:. , ast of letters similar to the one in Mr. Rosin's possesieu. • Mr. Rosin said the last latter on which he principally rounded his application, was as follows : " bioore, McQueen, and Company (Limited) Yourself. "My clients aro not desirous to d ea l h ars hl y w ith you for the infringement of their copyright, and have instructed me to inform you that if £5 !ao paid to me on o r b e f ore Tuesday next, the 4th inst., in satisfaction of damages, together with £2 2s. for my costs, no further steps will be taken against you ; but, if not paid by the above date, I shall have no alternative but to continue the proceedings against you.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, " CLARENCE HARCOURT. " No. 4, King's Arms-yard, London." Mr. Rosin, in conclusion, said that similar demands had boon made on others. Ile considered it an infamous attempt to extort money. Mr. Partridge could not say that Mr. Harcourt was a cer- tificated attorney, his name was not in the law list. He would not go into the question of copyright, but if persons did pirate articles or engravings, and sold them or distributed them, they were liable to damages. He would advise the applicant to take no notice of the letter. Mr. Rosier—l do my business in a straightforward man ner, and I think it is an attempt to extort money, Mr. Partridge—Consult a solicitor. The proprietors and publisher of Bow Bells ought to assist the vendors. Mr. Thomas Thirdgould, of No. 31, Oxford-street, Step ney, him by Mr. Harcourt, at the produce desuitof a He l n7y it M s c e Q rv u e e d en up a o u n d Earnest Gambart, for invasion of copyright. He was in the same predicament as Mr. Rosier. DISCHARGED FEDERAL SOLDIERS.—The New York Times states that all honourably discharged soldiers have been granted the privilege of retaining their arms at the following low rates :—Muskets of all kinds, with or with out accoutrements, $6 ; carbines, with or without accoutre ments ; $lO ; all other carbines and revolvers, $8 ; sabres and swords, with or without belts, $3. Who is there that does not like this, the most agreeable of all the gatherings at Newmarket in the course of the year ? True, the sport may not be first-rate, or the muster large, but for that latter reason more especially is the other side of the ditch very pleasant quarters in the glorious weather we aro now enjoying. We are freed from the mob of the Two Thousand, Cesare witch or Cambridgeshire days, and the Long Vacation has happily dispersed that dange rous and irregular body of cavalry which the banks of the Cam send forth on these occasions. The July meeting is in fact the quiet, and, therefore, the enjoyable one of the year. The Stakes are, of course, the most interesting feature of the first day, or, indeed, of the week. Last year the meet ing of the The Duke and Liddington caused more than usual excitement, and the victory of the latter more than usual difference of opinion as to the respective merits of the pair. This year the dead heat at Stockbridge between Robin llood and the Student invested their second meeting in the July with an interest which otherwise would have been lacking to the race. At Tattersall's on Monday Mr. Merry's colt was a very decided favourite; an en route from town this morning as little as sto 4 was taken about him. He went back in the betting, however, before the racing com menced, and Robin Hood was first favourite. The absurdly late hour-5 o'clock— at which the race was set, precludes our making any remarks on the result. Sweepstakes of 25 soya each, for 2-yr-old colts, Bst 101 b, and fillies, Bst 71b.

Some slight delay occurred at the post, but when they were got in order an excellent start was effected, in which Gemma, on the extreme left of her horses, got away in advance, and came on with the running for two or three hundred yards, when she was headed by the favourite, who with Puebla, Heir-at-Law, Knight of the Whistle, and Wild Thyme lying up, ran in a body into the bottom, when Puebla came out and won with the greatest ease by a length and a half ; a bad third; Gemma was fourth, Knight of the Whistle fifth, and Wild Thyme next.

They loft the starter in close company, Wo'soy, if any thing, having the advantage, which he retained as they came over the hill, the two favourites, with Freedom, being his immediate followers, and close in their rear came the Maid of Masham colt and Sealskin, Mount Palatine acting as whipper-in. They run thus to the corner of the plantation, when Robin Hood headed Wolsey, the latter also giving way to Student as they entered the dip. From this point the race was left to the two, Robin Hood, who ran the gamest, winning very easily at last by a couple of lengths. Twice that distance separated the second and third ; the others were beaten off. Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, for 2-yr-olds, 7st, and s-yr olds 9st. The winner to be sold for 100 cove.

A match for vessels of the third-class belonging to this club was sailed yesterday for a prize value 40 sous. Course —From Erith, round the Nore, and back to Erith. The following ya , hts entered :—The Vampire, 19 tons, Mr. Cuthbert; the Kitten, 13 tons, Mr. Clabburn ; the Dudu, 14 tons, Capt. Baldock andMr.Rudge ; time allowance, half a minute per ton. The Kitten did not take up her station. Tho Queen of the Thames steamer accompanied the match, having on board Lord de Ros, the vice -commodore, members of the club, and their friends. A portion of the band of the 2d Life Guards was present. The yachts were started at 11 4b, a nice fresh breeze blowing from S.S.E., which, with the strength of the ebb ing tide, sent thorn fleeting down the river. The Dudu, at starting, set a jib-headed topsail, and a slight lead on the Vampire's lee bow ; the latter vessel did not hurry to set a topsail, and without one passed on the Dudu's weather to the front. She then sent up a small jib-headed topsail, although the water was already playing in and-out her lee scuppers. The Dudu had a large and ugly setting jib hanging on her bowsprit, and it constantly caused her head to pay off to leeward ; the Vampire laid much closer to the wind, finding it necessary to luff up a trifle occasionally as the breeze caught her abeam, and sent her over on her chain plates. The two vessels arrived at Greenwich at 12 10, the Vampire hauling close to the wind with a lead of 300 yards. At 12 20, as Gravesend was neared, the breeze became still fresher, and the Dudu, realising the effects of her big jib, carried away her bow sprit, the spar going with a tremendous crash. She, of course, was instantly up in the wind and became useless for further competition in the match, now totally devoid of interest. If more judgment had boon exercised in canvass ing the vessel the mishap would, perhaps, have been avoided ; such a large head-sail was not needed—in fact it did harm, and to make things worse a topsail was set when she could barely stand up under it, increasing the strain upon the bowsprit. The Vampire soon afterwards got her topsail on dock, lowered the spar, and proceeded comfortably for the Noro, which lightship she rounded at 2 30 50, and, with the flood and wind (veering to S.S.W.), arrived at Erith at 6 12, winning the prize. _ _ Thus ended the last match of the season of this club on the river ; they float out with the ebb and come in with the flood, and Neptune rules the match. Extraordinary Cases of Poisoning in Sweden, STOCKHOLM, June 30. It was not difficult to be foreseen that the trial of Pastor Lindback for the murders he had committed at Silbodal would not occupy much time after the qualified confession which had been made by him with regard to them, more especially when it is re membered that in this country the formalities of a trial are to a great extent superseded by the proceed ings which take place previously to the accused making his appearance before the high criminal tri bunal, where little occurs beyond the formal exami nation to which he is then subjected. In this in stance enough has been admitted by Lindback to justify the court in at once finding him guilty ; for, although he attempted to palliate his offences by assigning reasons for having committed them, such as that his victims were either incurables who were alike burdens to themselves and to his parish, or that, in giving them d• •me wine for the purpose of curing them, the effect had been different from those which he had expected, the murder was so clearly established in every case that the judges could have no hesitation as to the sentence which they should pronounce. He was therefore at once condemned to be beheaded, and an early day will likely be fixed for his execution. It should, however, be mentioned that before being taken into court he was deprived of his eccle siastical vestments, and after sentence was pro nounced the prisoner in the first instance addressed the judge, and then the governor of the province, concluding with a most affecting speech to the crowd that had assembled, in which he admitted that in his youth he had yielded to temptations which had led him to the sad, miserable condition in which he was then placed, and strongly urged them to take warning by his fate, and asserted that though now deprived of all hope of much longer ex istence on earth, he still looked with confidence to Pleaven for pardoning mercy. After this address he bowed most profoundly, and left the bar in charge of the guards, w ith the same dignity and calmness with which he had been ac customed to descend from the pulpit in the parish on which he has brought so much misery. It is unnecessary at this time to refer to other matters, though the military manoeuvres at Axevallo and a contemplated reform in the navy are at this time attracting great notice throughout the king dom. The Lord Chancellor will make a statement this evening in tho House of Lords, when he will announce his resignation. We believe there is a great probability that the Lord Chief Justice will succeed Lord Westbury as Lord Chancellor.—The Owl. --- About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon much alarm - was created by the outbreaking of a fire in Marlborough House, the residence of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The disaster commenced in one of the rooms in the upper floor of the mansion, and threatened to be of very serious consequences. For tunately the assistance of the fire brigade was soon at hand, and, with a plentiful supply of water, the fire was extinguished, but not before very extensive damage was done to the roof of the building. The Duke of Sutherland, whose mansion is in close proximity to that of his Royal Highness, was soon on the spot, and rendered essential assistance in subduing the fire. The effects of the fire are plainly visible on the mansion in St. James's Park, the roof showing unmistakably th e serious character of the fire, which, had it occurred during the night, most probably would have resulted in the total destruction of the building. However, all alarm seemed to have subsided by 6 o'clock, as at that hour her Royal Highness the Prin cess and her infant son drove out for an evening airing in the park. Fire at Marlborough house.
