The recent outflow of gold, the small amount of the arrivals, and the increase in the de mand for accommodation, led most people to expect an advance in the rate this morning. All the dis count houses were prepared for a change, but as it has not taken place, business will no doubt resume its ordinary course, and brokers be more inclinedto negotiate bills at a fraction below the current prices. The inquiry is not very large, as many are waiting till they can obtain assistance upon less onerous terms. The gold taken from the Bank yesterday was £19,000. The report of the Scottish Australian Investment Company, to be presented on the 29th inst., recom mends a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, which will absorb £10,166 and leave £4,403, of which £3,000 is to be placed to a suspense ac count and £1,403 is to be added to a reserve, raising the latter to £8,685. The biddings for £250,000 in bills on India took place yesterday afternoon at the Bank of England. The proportions allotted were—to Calcutta £177,600, to Madras £22,400, and to Bombay £55,000. The minimum price was as before, Is. 101 d. on Calcutta and Madras, and 15 . 101 d. on Bombay. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at ls. Hid, will receive about 54 per cent., and on Bombay at 2s. in full. These re sults show no material alteration in the demand for means of remittance to the East. The half-yearly report of the Peel River Land C° BaPany, to be presented on the 28th inst., re commends an interim dividend of 1 per cent., 'which will absorb £9,000. The seventh ordinary meeting of shareholders of the Metropolitan and Provincial Bank was held to daY. The report stated that "in accordance with the Views expressed by the proprietors, at the meet ing in January last, a change of management was effected in March, and the progress of the business has since been satisfactory : many new and valuable accounts having been secured for the bank. The co mpensation of £2,500 paid to Mr. John Burton, the late manager, for the unexpired term of his en gagement, has been charged to the reserved fund. - the profits for the past six months have been absorbed by losses incurred previously to, but not ascertained at last audit ; and the directors regret that no dividend can therefore be paid on this occa sion. They have, however, full confidence that a more encouraging result will be exhibited in next .account." At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the share holders of the London Joint Stock Bank, the report presented stated that the net profits for the six months, ending on the 30th ultimo, amounted to £123,125 15s. 3d. This result enabled the directors to declare a dividend, at the rate of 12k per cent. Per annum, and a bonus of Bs. 3d. per share, to gether £1 7s. per share, equivalent to 18 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the bank, now amounting to £1,080,000, and to carry forward a balance of £25,925 15s. 3d. for division at the end of the year. In conformity with the resolution passed at the general meeting in January last, the Consols and New 3 per cents. have been taken at 90, and the Exchequer Bills at par. The difference between these rates and the valuation of those stocks on the 31st December last amounts to £7,075, and this sum has been carried to the credit of the guarantee fund, 'which, with the addition of six months' interest, according to the provisions of the deed of settlement, tow amounts to £309,615 7s. 9d. The dividend and bonus, free from income tax, will be payable on and after Friday, the 28th inst. The directors of the St. John d'El Rey Mining Company (Limited) have received the following re port, dated Morro Velho, June 17, 1865 :—Produce for May 44,220 oitavas, cost £10,519, profit £6,006.

Crime in France. -0-- The Court of Assizes of the Gors, last week, tried a girl named Marie Cassagnabere, only 131 yeitrs of age, on a charge of having, on the 31st May last, set fire to a barn belonging to a farmer named Laffargue, residing at Lar tigue, in whose service she was at the time. She was also charged with having attempted, in 1864, to poison a farmer named Autefuge and one of his labourers. On the 30th May last, tho prisoner told her master that a woman named Balas, residing in the neighbourhood, had threatened to set fire to his premises. The next morning her master's barn was set on fire, and the prisoner pretended to have seen the woman Bales running away from it just before the fire was discovered. Fortunately, the flames were extinguished before mrch injury was done. An investigation insti tuted by the police having proved beyond all doubt that the woman Balas had not been near the farm, the prisoner was interrogated, and at last confessed that she herself had set fire to tho barn and accused the woman Balas of the crime, in order to be revenged for some insulting expres sion the latter had applied to her. During the inquiry, the police were informed that the prisoner had, in the previous year, attempted to poison her then master, M. Autefage, and one of his labourers, by putting in their soup some phosphorus which she had scraped off lucifer matches, but neither of them had eaten enough to do them any harm. The prisoner was accordingly committed to take her trial on the three charges. The evidence being conclusive against the prisoner, the jury found her guilty, but added that she had acted without discern ment, and the court accordingly condemned her to be con fined in a house of correction till the completion of her 18th year. The Court of Assizes of the Somme last week tried a farm labourer named Bocquet, aged 86, on a charge of hav ing, on the 11th June last, murdered a milkmaid named Lemaire, aged 27, in the service of M. Gaffet, a farmer re siding at Demuin. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had been for some time on terms of intimacy with the woman Lemaire, but a difference having arisent be tween them, he went to her while she was milking the cows on the morning above-mentioned, to ask for some explanation, • and not receiving a satisfactory answer, he knocked her down with a hay fork, and kicked her on the head with his heavy nailed shoes until sho was dead. As he had been heard on the previous day to utter threats against the young woman, he was at once suspected to be her murderer, and was arrested. When interrogated he confessed his crime in the most cynical manner, and seemed to glory in what he had dono. The jury having brought in a verdict of guilty, without extenuating cir cuinstances, the court p asse d s en t e n c e o f d ea th on th e prisoner. SCARCITY OF WATER IN LIVERPOOL. The authorities of Liverpool have issued notices requesting the consumers of water to be sparing in their use of it.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.) SMITH V. SMITH AND TIBBETT. The hearing of this divorce case, which was a suit by the husband for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, was resumed this morning. As further evidence, in support of the petitioners case, a girl of tho name of Emma Bandon was called, who stated that she was a servant in the employment of Mrs. Gilbert, who kept lodgings at 15, Marine-particle, Brighton, from August, 1863, to September, 1864. In the summer of the latter year Mrs. Smith, and her mother, Mrs. Taylor, lodged at Mrs. Gilbert's for about three weeks. During that time they were visited by the co-respondent on various occasions. On one occasion ho stayed all day, and in the afternoon Mrs. Smith went out with him at five o'clock and returned at nine. This closed the petitioner's case, and the counsel for the respondent and co-respondent having intimated that they did not intend to call evidence, Mr. Bovill addreSsed the jury on behalf of the peti tioner, and the Solicitor-General and the Queen's Advocate for the respondent and co-respondent. The jury, after five minutes' deliberation, found that the adultry alleged had been committed, and that the peti tioner was not guilty of cruelty. The Court made a decree nisi with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. MURDEROUS ASSAULT. - Emma Giltings, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Knox with the following violent assault : Eliza Adams, a married woman, residing at 29, Dudley street, said that on the previous afternoon she mot the prisoner, who asked her to let her go and lie down on her bed for a short time. She consented, and she took the prisoner home, and, after having something to drink, left the prisoner in her room, going to some work she was engaged upon. On returning to the room the prisoner was gone, and she therefore lay down to rest herself. Shortly after the priioner came back, and burst open the door, and, seizing a knife in one hand and a decanter in the other, swore she would have her life; stating that she would take the knife to the police, and say that she (prosecutrix) attempted to use it towards her. The prisoner then struck her over the head with the decanter and stabbed her in the bead with the knife. A woman came from the nett house and took her to Bow-street station, and then to Charing cross Hospital, whore her wounds were attended to. In answer to lir. Knox, tho prosecutrix said the blood on the knife was the result of the stab. The prisoner said that when she woke up she missed a frock, that some words took place, and that there was a fight between her and the prosecutrix. The prosecutrix denied this, and said she had given the prisoner no provocation. The prisoner said she handed the knife and the decanter to the constable directly ho came in. John Perry, 176 F, said that when he was called into the place he had the greatest difficulty in getting the knife and glass from the prisoner. The prisoner was drunk and the prosecutrix had been drinking. Mr. Knox said he should remand the prisoner, to see whether the prosecutrix's life was in danger. ANOTHER CHARGE OF STABBING.--Alice Barnett, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Knox with stabbing another young woman named Elizabeth Smith, of 6, Princes-street . , Drury-lane. The prosecutrix said that about ono that morning she wont into a cookshop in Little White Lion-street to make a purchase. The prisoner was standing there with a man, and on her asking the prisoner to step aside, the prisoner said, "On getting outside I will give you something." On leaving the shop the prisoner seized her, pulled her down, and stabbed her in the head with a fork. The prisoner then ran off, crying " Murder," and she was stopped by a constable. In answer to Mr. Knox, the prosecutrix said she after wards went to the hospital. The prisoner first tried to stab her in the throat. She had not given the prisoner any pro vocation. The prisoner said a quarrel took place and there was a fight between her and the prosecutria, but she never used a fork. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for a week to give an opportdnity for other witnesses to bo present. FURIOUS DRlVlNG.—Christian Lederer, a master butcher, of New-road, Stepney, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with being drunk, disorderly, and furiously and recklessly driving a horse and cart to the imminent danger of her Majesty's subjects. _ _ _ On Mr. Partridge asking what reasons the prisoner had to assign for not forfeiting the amount of his recognizances entered into at the polico station, Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, said the prisoner was com pelled to proceed to Romford Market to look after cattle he had purchased, and could not get backlo London in time. Mr. Partridge—Did ho becolue intoxicated again yes terday ? Mr. Charles Young—No, sir, he was quite sober. He is now hero to answer for his offence. Police Constable George Goldson, No. 522 K, said he was informed on Tuesday evening, the prisoner was driv ing furiously, and had nearly run down a child. He saw the prisoner in Crisp-street, Poplar, driving his horse at a most reckless pace. Mr. Partridge—How fast ? Witness—Ten or twelve miles an hour, he was very drunk. I took him into custody, and sent his horse and cart to the Green-yard. Mr. Charles Young—The prisoner was intoxicated — he could not drive at the rate of ten miles an hour I am informed. A police-constable lately told you a man was driving a horso and cart at the rate of GO miles an hour, and insisted it was true. Mr. Partridge recollected s policeman swearing to 60 miles an hour. It was an egregious error, or something worse. I believe the constable in this case. The prisoner was intoxicated, and I cannot overlook such an offence as this in the streets of London. I fine the prisoner 405., the heaviest I can inflict. Lederer paid the fine. • SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHAMPTON RACES.-WEDNESDAY. A lovely morning induced a large and fashionable com pany to assemble on the course, which presented a lively appearance, tho carriages before the stand, which took up their positions some time before the first race, being very numerous. Tho course, which ismost delightfully situated on Southampton Common, about two miles north-west of the town, was beautiful " going." The card was made up of seven events, including a matchbetween Warfare, 4 yrs, Bst 71b, and Ephemera, 6 yrs, Bst, which, however, fell through, the first-mentioned forfeiting. The racing, if not important, was very interesting, and the fields, considering the near approach of the Goodwood fixtures, and the fact of this meeting claShing with Nottingham, were very good. An attempt was made to speculate on the Goodwood Stakes after the success of Mr. Parr's Moose, but no trans actions came under our notice. Respecting the Goodwood Cup, a sensation was created by a Lirge bookmaker offering to lay 25 to 20 that Gladiateur did not start. Subjoined are full details of the sport : • Tho Trial Stakes of s'sovs each, with 40 added, for three yr-olds and upwards ; selling and other allowances. One mile.

Sister to Lavender jumped away with the lead, followed by Lord of the Manor, Fisherman's Daughter, Soapstone, and the Parchment colt, North End bringing up the rear. After going 200 yards Soapstone broke down, and F. Adams judiciously pulled him up. Half-way up the distance Lord of the Manor took a slight lead of Sister to Lavender, and won cleverly by a length ; the Parchment colt a bad third. North End was stopped opp9site the stand. The winner was not claimed. The Cranbury Park Stakes of 10 soya each, 5 ft, with 50 added, for two -fear-olds; colts, Bst 101 b ; fillies, Bst 71b; winners extra. T.Y.C. (five furlongs).

The favourite made play with a slight lead, his immediate attendants being. Whalebone and War wick, for 300 yards, when the lot took close order. Half way up the hill Mr. Pitt again went to the front, and Whalebone fell back beaten, Warwick going on in pursuit of the Duke of. Beaufort's horse, who, however, won in a canter by two lengths.

' BituTAL ASSAUr . ,T: - Ify ATSoLDrE Harrison, Private in the 2'd Battalion Coldstream Guards, upwards of 6ft. high, was charged- With: a violent assault on Caroline Fujelow, a prostitute. Prosecutrix, a Frenchwoman, who had a very severe contusion on the faco, said in French that she met the pri soner at two o'clock that morning in Westminster. He tried to rob her of 6d., when she followed him to give him into custody. He struck her and injured her as her face indicated. A medical certificate was handed in from Westminster Hospital. There was no interpreter, and the case was put back. Nicholls, 86 B, said at four that morning he saw priso ner and the woman in an archway in an indecent position, and ordered them away. The prisoner afterwards called to him, and wished to give the woman in charge for steal ing 6d., but ho refused to take the charge. They went a Kay quarrelling, anfiho followed them to the end of his beat, speaking to his brother constable whom ho met. Frederick Roch, 312 B, said Nicholls, told him to watch the prisoner and woman. They quarrelled, and he told them to move away. Ile watched and saw the soldier de liberately strike the woman a fearful blow. She fell, and he reeled and also fell, apparently from the force of the blow. Both were sober. His sergeant witnessed the as sault and took prisoner into custody and the woman to the hospital. Mr. John Taylor having been sworn to interpret. Prosecutrix—l live at Peter -street. I get my living anyhow. Ile met me at 2 o'clock. I walked fast and ho followed me. Ile gave me no money, and struck me with some weapon. She then proceeded to give a further ac count of the transaction, but her evidence was involved in mystery. Mr. Arnold said it was evident the prisoner had com mitted the assault. Prisoner said she robbed him, and he was aggravated by the constable not taking her into custody, and struck her. He was remanded till Tuesday, TORY DODGE.--The Liverpool Mercury, writing of the great meeting at the Amphitheatre on Tues day night says :—" The mere ann ouncement that Mr. Gladstone was to be present naturally excited the greatest interest, and, though but one day's n o ti ce h a d b een g i ven of the ;peeling, the immense building was densely crowded i n eve ry part. Theadmission was only by ticket, and early in the day the tickets were all taken, and were, in fact, at a premium. So anxious were the Tories to hear the distin guished statesman that they actually resorted to the most di srepu t a bl e means of getting tickets. Hearing that the Lib era l committee were obtaining tickets in small quantities from the printers as th 7 were printed, the Tories had the dishonesty to send a written order, and by this means ob tained possession of 200 tickets. Thi s may, of course, b o rega rded as ' a clever trick,' though most people will de nounce it as di s honest. But it is sa id that the Tor i es, no t c ontent even with stealing the 200 tickets, actually had the audacity to print others in imitation of those which were stolen. A number of these forged tickets were detected at the doors, and their holders, of course, refused admission." THE ATLANTIC CABLE..—VALENTIA, Wednesday. —The Great Eastern has reached this port quite safely. The cable is in perfect condition . . When off Land's End she fell in with the Caroline bearing that portion of cable which is to be laid from the shore at Valentia to the point of junction with the principal length that is on board the great ship. She took the Caroline in tow, and brought her on to Valentia. Since Sunday night the weather has been very heavy, and toward the end of the pa s sage con siderable motion was experienced. Her speed was only six or seven knots an hour. It has been determined that while the Caroline is laying the shore end of the cable the Great Eastern shall cruise off and on, so that if the weather be bad oho on rim into Berehaven. NOTTINGHAM RACES.-WEDNESDAY. Racing was resumed on the second day with an excellent card, which contained 10 events to be run off. The weather was again fine, though a smart shower fell shortly before the close of the sport. There was again a large attendance ; and though the fields were not so large as might have been expected from the strength of the entries, some good contests were witnessed during the afternoon. The open: ing event was won by Miss Harriette, who, staying better than Miss Roland (who was in equal demand), landed Mr. Saxon's colours very cleverly. In the succeeding race; a "hot un," 011orton was upset by Lady Bohun. In the Nottingham Nursery Plate, Miss Roland, though unable to stay the T.Y.C., was found capable of getting half a mile, and with the top weight, Oat 11b, won, after a brilliant finish with Viper, who many in the enclosure thought had just won. Privateer, following up his Stamford victories, beat five others for the Chesterfield Handicap, for which he was backed against the field. The other events do not call for special comment, though Caller Ou, as a matter of course, credited her owner With the "royal century " by beating Success and the Iris gelding for her Majesty's Plate. During the afternoon frequent inquiries were made after Suspicion for the Goodwood Stakes, and after 10 to 1 had been taken, 900 to 100 was booked ; 20 fifties were taken about Sprite, who, it was reported, J Grhushaw would ride ; but, notwithstanding these investments, no more than 4 to 1 was offered against Claremont, who met with occasional support at that price.

JEFFERSON DAVIS. —The special correspondent of the Philadelphia In quirer has examined a souvenir of the late rebellion, being a present from the ladies of South Carolina to Mrs. Davis, prepared at the outbreak of the war. The present is a novel and handsome one, being a bouquet . of ladies' hair. Locks of every shade and hue shed from the heads of fair South Carolinians, and cunningly worked into the sem blance of a well-arranged and tastefully selected bouquet. There are roses, buttercups, daisies, lilies, broad-leaved japonicas, all exquisitely wrought of hair, and bearing a marvellous resemblance to their garden prototypes. The hair used is from the venerable grey of age to the flaxen silk locks of youth, raven brown, auburn, blonde, all col ours arcrdelicately pombined, and the whole is certainly a triumph of hair work. The petals Of a japonica are ele gantly worked with black hair, while the blossom is. of a delicate flaxen hue. The buds of the flowers are repreSented by beads. The bouquet is of full size, being at least 15in. across at the widest part, and about 18in. in length. The stems of the hair flowers aro tied with a bOw of blue ribbon. The bouquet is inclosed in a square shallow case, lined with white satin. The front is of glass, surrounded by a neat gilt frame. On the white satin background, over the top of the bouquet, is inscribed with a pen in indelible ink, "C. S. A., 1861." On the left, on the bouquet, is writ ten, in a legible, upright hand :—" From Miss Sally L. Hawkins." On the right " To Mrs. Jefferson Davis." This unique bouquet graced the parlour walls 'of Mrs. Davis till it came into the possession of its present owner, a coloured woman, Mrs. Ellen Bond, who was a house servant the Davis family since January 2, 1864. She says t Mrs. Davis presented her the bouquet several months ago, and that she removed it from the Presidential parlour to her own humble hoine, where it remained until a few days past, when it was sent down with Mrs. Bond's other effects. It is now in her house at Camp Hamilton. Mrs. Davis told her that the bouquet was made from the hair of S ou th Carolina ladies ; some of them that she had known well were dead, and she did not care to . have the gift in her possession. FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.—At the last sitting, a letter was received from M. Neant, in which he describes a method of his invention for keeping afloat a vessel about to sink, and •putting out any fires that might happen to break out on board. His plan consists in attaching a certain number of balloons made of india-rubber, and inflated with air, to the sides of the sinking vessel.—Another gentleman, M. Silbermann, wrote to request the Academy to open a sealed packet deposited by him on the 26th of June last. On being opened, it was found to contain a project for the Universal Exhibition of 1867.—1 n a paper to the Academy, M. Chat tenmann proposed to render vessels externally incombus tible by whitewashing the wood with chloride of lime. This, he thinks, would prevent the rapid propagation of the flames, and allow sufficient time for extinguish ing them.—A paper was received from Dr. Bondin on the fulminating power of bodies recently struck by lightning, and of which he adduces two remarkable instances. On the 30th of June, 1854, a man was killed by lightning near the garden of Plants at Paris ; tho body remained for some time exposed to a pouring rain. After the storm two soldiers, in attempting to lift up the body, both received two violent shocks. In the other case, which occurred at Zara,. Dalmatia, two artillerymen who had been ordered to set up again in their former places two telegraphic posts that had been thrown down during a storm took hold of the telegraphic wire. . Although it was two hours after the storm, there was so Inuchelectricity left that the men first experienced a few slight shocks, and then were both thrown down on the ground. The hands of both were scorched, and one of them did not even for a time giving any signs of life. The other, in attempting to get up, sank down again, and in so doing touched a com rade, who was coming to his assistance, with his elbow. The third man was then thrown down in his turn, expe rienced various nervous effects, and his arm was marked with a burn at the spot where he had been touched by the other man's elbow.—The Academy received a letter from a M. Jan, in which he described a system of air-balloons with wings, which ho considered en tirely new. The young man name d Glass, who shot the poor fellow Lynes, at Cheltenham, is a . chemist. at Bournemouth, in Hants, and was merely on a visit at Cheltenham to re cord his vote, he having recently inided in that town.

TYBURN TURNPIKE.—It is well known to our readers, no doubt, that Tyburn turnpike stood close to the north-east corner of the park, and that consequently the latter has been the scene of the death-throes of many a distinguished criminal besides Dr. Dodd. At all events, in the " Particulars of Sale" already alluded to, No find mention of a parcel of ground "formerly used as a meadow," and called "Tyburn Mea dow," which was the scene of the execution of two i n dividuals—one of them no less a personage t han the Chief Justice of the King's Bench for high treason. Many a poor "seminary" and "missio nar y " p ries t of the Romish Church breathed his last at Tyburn under the Tudors and Stuarts, as a traitor, in consequence of the severity of the penal laws against papists, and the intense jealousy felt against foreign. ecclesiastics. It is perhaps less generally known that all military criminals who were sentenced to death by court martial, were taken to a spot within the wall of Hyde-park, and there suffered death by being shot; this spot is identified by a stone, against which the delinquent was placed when about to pay the forfeit of his life, having been visible til within these few years. The situation of this stone is laid down in a plan of Hyde Park, which was once, and per haps still is, at Kew Palace ; it was situated only a few yards from Cumberland-gate ; and when this entrance to ,the park was enlarged for public convenience, by the muni ficence of a private individual, and it became necessary to raise the ground for that purpose, this stone was found to be so deeply embedded in the earth, that to prevent trouble the earth was carried over it, and it now lies buried on the spot where it was originally placed.—Once a Week.
