TITONEI•MA,RKET AND COMMERCIAL (NTELLRIV4I)I TWELVE O'CLOCK. A more moderate demand for discount accommo dation is experienced in the open market and in the Bank of England. The holders have an abundance of capital at their command, and are more disposed to invest it in long than in short-dated bills, thus s howing their idea that an immediate change in the value of money is anticipated. The best paper is taken at 8 per cent., and that having a longer time to mature at 6f and 7 per cent.

There has been a heavy market for the English Funds, and a decline in Consols of between 1 and / per cent., the latest prices being 881 1 for money, and 881 1 for the account. The increasing con fidence in the present Ministry has been partially negatived by the rumoured illness of the Emperor of France,but there can be no doubt that the prevail ing dullness and depression are due to the proverbial inactivity of speculation at this season of the year.

MARKETS.---This Day. MARK-LANE. The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur day was somewhat firmer, but holders did not succeed in realising any advance in prices. Spring corn sold heavily, at barely late rates, The trade for flour was quiet, on former terms. _ . Very little change has taken place in the value of wheat on the Continent. For spring corn there is a fair export demand. At New York a few parcels of new wheat have been on sale, and have sold at high prices. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat were very moderate, but the quality of the produce was good. The trade was without activity ; never theless, factors demanded full prices both for red and white qualities. As compared with Monday last, no change was established in the quotations, and the market closed with a quiet appearance. There was a fair supply of wheat on the stands. In all descriptions sales progressed slowly, but without leading to any quotable change in prices from last week. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at late rates. The supply of barley on sale was moderate. The trade was quiet, at last Monday's currency. Malt changed hands slowly, at late prices. The supply of oats on sale was large, but consisted chiefly of foreign qualities. There was a fair demand for most descriptions, at late rates. Peas met a slow sale, at barely late rates. There were a few samples of new grey qualities on offer, in which business was done at 38s. to 40s. per quarter. Beans were dull, and prices had a drooping tendency. The flour trade was very quiet at about last Monday's currency. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASITRE.

MANSION-HOUSE. ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.—James S wain was charged with an. attempt to commit a burglary, and George Hop kins and Mary Ann 'White with aiding and abetting him in the same. . 4.1 From the evr o nce of one of the City detectives it ap peared that abo t two o'clock on Saturday afternoon he saw the three prisoners loitering about Lime-street, and he watched them until he saw Swain enter No. 30 in that street, the female prisoner having previously handed him a bag. Having procured the assistance of another officer, he went upstairs and found Swain endeavouring to force open the door of one of the offices on the first floor, and he watched him about a minute with Hopkins. On being asked what they wanted there, they said they were looking for work, and S wain added that he had merely knocked at the door, but a gentleman came out of another office, and he distinctly heard the door being tried. With the as sistance of the other officer he took all the prisoners into custody, and on searching them different small sums of money were found on them. The male prisoners, who were lads about 15, repeated their story of being on the premises looking for work, but it appeared that they were both old offenders, and previous convictions were proved against thorn. The female denied all knowledge of the other prisoners, and she was discharged, but the former were sentenced each to three months' hard labour. SPORTING NOTES. The racing last week was of the usual mediocre character. At the Huntingdon meeting lords were as plentiful as welshers in the enclosure, and the ring had a couple of rare good days, as they had also at Southampton, where the hardness of the ground, the sharpness of the turns, and the steepness of the hill upset all the calcula tions of owners, trainers, and jockeys. The sport was capital; "heads" and "necks" being as numerous as in New gate market. The Huntingdon Stakes ought to have been won by the Duchess of Wellington, had there been any pace, but as for the first mile the lot wont Very little faster than the mounted police in Hyde Park after the rail breakers, our old and esteemed friend Oberon, through King Charming's swerving on the post, just won by a brief head. This, however, will not prevent his winning his annual race at Newmarket, which he does as regularly as the Calendar comes out. Ostregor's being beatcn by Vespasian arose from the former having been eased a little since Ipswich. Besides, the course suited Vespasian, as he prefers a flat to coming down hill, and it will be recollected ho was tried a smart horse for a mile previous to the Derby. How King Victor could have beaten Opoponax would puzzle even Stodare to explain, for although a good useful colt, with good wearing limbs and fine quarters, he looked as jolly as an alderman, and in vain Mr.Bevill was tempted to - back him by the ring, who offered him his own terms, and the excitement of that body was very great when Mr. Clarke put up the numbers. The Goodwood Meeting commences to-marrow, and will draw together the most fashionable assemblage that ever graced the turf. The only drawback to the complete success of the gathering is the conticuance of the hard ground, which for some time past has threatene4to affect the numerical strength of the fields, more especially in the two-yr-old races. But the heavy rain of Saturday and yesterday will have a beneficial effect on the course, and, it is to be hoped, tend to dispel these dismal forebodings. The market movements with reference to the Stakes offer but little scope for comment. Black Prince came with a rush on Saturday, and is now first favourite, which sent The Special back to 3to 1. The Midia colt is also well supported at 4to 1. Burney has been beaten in a trial with Bradamante, and has been placed amongst the scratched division. Potomac is lame, and consequently the quietly-backed "good thing" has come to grief. Her owner does not usually back his animals for large amounts, but it is no secret that a certain "division"—who, by the way, always seem to be well informed as to the movements of this particular stable—supported the mare "on the quiet" for all the money that could be got down to 10 to 1. Early on Saturday, however, there were unmistakable in dications of a screw being loose somewhere, and on Mon day she quickly retired to 100 to 6, and now figures in the quotations at 25 to 1. The Stewards' Cup is a mere scramble. What with false starts, and the disobedience of the jockeys to the starter's orders, it is almost an impossibility to give an opinion as to the probable winner, especially where there are so many horses engaged. To select a lot to beat th• field I would take Mrs. Stratton, Paris, and Coup d'Etat. Lord Glas gow's representative or Klarinska will win the Ham Stakes, Lord Portsmouth's Robin Hood the Gratwicke Stakes, Achievement the Lavant Stakes, and Ostregor the Craven Stakes. On Wednesday the Goodwood Stakes will be won by Black Prince, his most dangerous opponent being La For tune, who can stay all the distance. The Special has un dergone a special " milking," but, as Punch says, he will be a public benefactor that can instruct the public how to manufacture cheese and butter out of London milk. The Goodwood Cup, as I said last week, looks a certainty for Baron Rothschild's representative, either Toursualin or Janitor. The latter's chance looks best, but the market tells a different tale.

There:was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer here to-day, in fair condition. The demand for it was inactive, at barely late rates. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were moderately extensive. Those from Lincoln. shire and Scotland came to hand in prime condition. The receipts from other quarters were poor in quality. All breeds met a slow inquiry, nevertheless last week's prices were mostly supported. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s 6d to 5s 8d per Blbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 1,800 shorthorns; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds ; from Scotland, 41 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 50 oxen, &c. The numbers of sheep were rather extensive. The qua lity of most breeds was by no means first-rate. Prime downs and half-breds changed hands steadily at full quotations viz., from 5s 10d to 6s per 81bs. All other breeds moved off slowly, and prices had a drooping tendency. There was only a moderate demand for lambs, the sup ply of which was rather limited, at late rates, which ranged from 6s 8d to 8s per 81bs. Calves came freely to hand, and the inquiry for them was slow, on former terms. The top figure was 5s 4d per 81bs.

HORRIBLE CONDUCT OF A HAWKER.— Mary Prosegar, a dissipated-looking woman, was charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance, with begging and with cruelty to her child. The police said that the child was lying in a very shock ing state in the workhouse, and produced a medical certi ficate to that effect. Mr. Hartley, a tailor, living in White-lane-street, Chel sea, was the principal witness against her, and came forward upon public grounds. He said that on Saturday night, at 11 o'clock, the defendant came into the Nell Gwynne publichouse, Chelsea, and, declaring herself to be in great distress, with six children, said she had one of twins then in arms. Commiserating her situation, wit neas at last relieved her. About 20 minutes afterwards he saw her in the streets swinging the child by the lower part of the body. He hastened to interfere, and was horified at the appearance of the child, which he thought was dead. He observed the defendant was drunk, and, determined to rescue the child, went in quest of a police man. On returning with one, he found the defendant surrounded by a crowd of persons, whom she was abusing. The child was then taken to the workhouse. Mr. Arnold : How old is the child ? Defendant : Four months. It was in a consumption before it had the measles, and isn't so big now as it was at two months. Mr. Arnold—So, in order to take the better care of it, you get drunk and treat it in this way ? Defendant—lt's one of twins ; the other poor thing is dead, and this one is following it. Mr. Arnold—That is the greater reason why you should treat it with kindness. _ Another witness said Finding the infant motion - less and presenting a ghastly appearance, he said to the to which she replied, w m om in a d n, yo ‘ u ‘ Y r o b u u r sin c e h s i s ld an i d s b d e y_ing Mr. Arnold—This is a most serious matter. I shall re mand you until Saturday next. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ALLEGED VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A POST-OFFICE LETTER CARRIER.—George Pank, a French polisher, was charged as follows :—James Sayers, a Post-office letter-carrier, re siding in George-street, Langham-place, said that a few minutes before one on Saturday morning he was passing along Ople-street with a friend when they met six men, including the prisoner. One of them said something to his friend, and then knocked him down. The men then came up to him and attacked him, all of them either strik ing him or assisting in doing so. As soon as he could get a chance he ran away, but one of them pursued him and held him, and searched his pockets three times over and took his money, a knife, and his pin from his breast. They then made off and he pursued them, keeping his eye on the prisoner, and on coining up with him gave him into custody. In answer to Mr. Knox the prosecutor said he was sober. The prisoner said - that prosecutor came along with -a companion, and words took place between them and his (prisoner's) companions. Ho afterwards picked up a pin, and as one of his companions ran away ke followed him. Mr. Knox—Did you take the pin with you ? Prisoner—l did. Cooke, 96 E, said that, on taking the prisoner into cus tody, and on his being asked why he ran away, he rejoined 4, Would not you do sa too ?" In answer to Mr. Knox, the constable said the prosecu tor had been drinking. Burgess, 73 E, said that, on stopping the prisoner, he found a pin in his hand, and he said that he had picked it up. Prosecutor stated that he had been robbed of some money, and 6s. was found on the prisoner when he was searched. Thomas Moore, 7, George-street, Langham-place, one of the persons with the prosecutor, said that a friend not pre sent was insulted and struck by the prisoner's companions, and he (witness) went for a constable, and did not see what afterwards occurred. The prisoner's father said he did not believe his son could be giilty of such an act, and he would rather have him remanded for further inquiries than have him disgraced. Mr. Knox —The prisoner admits that he picked up the pin, though his thought might have been far from commit ting a felony. The father said he was a respectable man, had never had any of his family disgraced before, and that he had lived in Savile-street many years. Mr. Knox said the prisoner had certainly been guilty of imprudence. lie would remand him for a week, and take his father's bail, and next week the father had better have witnesses to speak to the lad's character. He did not think much of the ch arge, and had no doubt it arose out of a drunken squabble, being sober. • the pr o secutor, it being shown, not MATRIMONIAL B RA lvlTs II A s M a m E u S e.l Joyce, engineer, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with assaulting his wife, a spare, pale-faced The parties reside woman. had been in Grove-street, St. George-in-the- East, ma rried 10 years, and had several children, but had led a very nai l with great unhappy life. The prisoner had acted brutality towards his wife : he cut her head open 12 months ago, and was brought to this court. The magistrate ordered him to enter into sureties to keep the months. p e ace for twelveOn Saturday night she had n o food for herself little boy to a and children, and sent a beer-house where he was drink ing and called him out: A quarrel took place, and he beat her about the head and face, and she struck him in re turn. A constable named Samuel Fuller, No. 153 K, saw th e m struggling together and)a rted them. The prisoner th e n followed his wife, called her very bad names, and knocked her down in the presence Of the constable, who forthwith took the prisoner into custody. He was sober. The prisoner, in defence,.accu sed his wife of infidelity. and She once stopped out nine ni ghts days, and gave no ac count of herself when she returned. He found her once in bed with a young man. Her relatives had illused him, and en couraged her in he r adulter y and other irregularities. The woman gave a general denial to the charges against her, and alleged that her husband Once destroyed all the furniture they had with a choper. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner ought to have put away his wife and refuse d to maintain her if she had committed adultery, but he had no right to beat her, He sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour.

ETON COLLEGE AND REGATTA.—On Friday the examination of candidates for election to the foundation of Eton College was concluded in the upper school. There were about 70 candidates, the examiners being the Rev. W. R. Churton, fellow of King's College, and Mr. Bosan quet. The result will be made known within the next few days. Next Friday, the 3d of August, the school will close for the autumn vacation. THE MANCHESTER MARKET. Many fluctuations have occurred during the past week in the betting on Goodwood Stakes, but below are the closing prices, by which it will be seen that Black Prince, about whom a heavy commission has been executed, is first favourite.

YORK RACES.--A meeting of the committee of the York Races was held last week, at which the con tract for the erection of a new stewards' stand in the York ling, to cost £1,300, was let. Its erection is necessary to accommodate the increasing patronage bestowed upon the York meetings by the gentry and nobility of the county. It is to be divided into convenient boxes, waiting rooms, and all the usual conveniences, and admirable rccommoda tion is to be furnished for the "Fourth Estate." Itis fully anticipated that it will, when completed, be one of the finest in the kingdom. The work is to be commenced immediately after the August races, to be ready for the year 1867. Owing to the disturbances in Hyde Park the bookmakers have during the past week discontinued plying their vocation beneath the well-known clump of trees. One of the fraternity, more facetious than grammatical, declared that, in a Sir Richard Mayne sense, he felt no desire to lay on the field ; neither did he admire the way in which the mounted police backed their horses.—Sporting Life.

This morning, between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock, a very alarming fire broke out in the premises occupied by Mr. Fillett, fancy basket maker, situate in Devons-road, Bromley-by-Bow. When discovered the flames were raging with great fury in the front shop. The inmates fortunately succeeded in effecting their escape in safety. Conductor Beer arrived in a very short time with the Royal Society's escape, and was followed by the engines of the Metropolitan Brigade and three land steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co. A good supply of the East Lon don's Company's water having been procured the firemen went to work, but they were unable to get the fire extin guished until the premises were burnt out. The origin of tho fire is unknown. Another fire happened in the premises belonging to Mrs. Eve, a lodging-house keeper, No. 23, Rupert-street, Hay market. It was caused by an explosion of a lamp, and in an instant the whole of the room was in a general blaze. At that time the whole of the inmates were in their beds asleep ; and, having been aroused, they made for the front windows and screamed loudly for help. Conductors Bar nett and 'Wallis promptly attended with two -of the Royal Society's escapes, and the land steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co., followed, but the fire was extinguished before the arrival of the firemen, but not until considerable damage was done to the building and the contents. The sufferer, it is understood, was insured. Another fire took place in the premises of Messrs. Speck and Fletcher, iron founders, Supps-terrace, Commercial road East. Conductor Hardway arrived with the Royal Society's escape, and several engines followed ; but the fire could not be extinguished until the roof was burnt through. The firm, it is stated, was insured.

The official returns relating to trade and naviga tion for the six months ending the 30th June have just been published. From these it appears that the total declared value of the exports from the United Kingdom for that period has been £92,837,830, as compared with £74,128,638 in the corresponding period of 1865, showing an increase of £18,719,192. The increase has been most perceptible in coals and culm, cotton yarn, cotton manufactures, earthen ware, haberdashery and milinery, hardwares, and castings, linen manufactures, silk manufactures, and woollen and worsted manufactures ; but there is a falling off in beer and ale, boots and shoes, machinery, thrown silk, and sheep and lamb's wool. The shipping accounts exhibit a slight increase on the tonnage employed in the foreign trade during the same period, for both the entries in wards and the clearances outwards. and the same may also be said of the coasting trade. At the half-yearly meeting of the Westminster Palace Hotel Company the available total was stated at £6,890, and a dividend was declared at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, leaving £1,690 to be carried forward. From the manufacturing districts, the accounts generally are of an unsetisfactory character. At Manchester both cloths and yarns have been at enhanced prices, and but little business has been done. In the woollen trade of trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, there has been little change of importance. There has been a steady demand for seasonable goods for home require ments at about late rates, and some rather large parcels have been taken for tne Canadian markets.. In the hosiery and lace departments at Leicester and Nottingham business has been only moderately active, and chiefly in good useful goods, while in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, there has been a slight relief from the late depression by the receipt of consider able orders for cutlery from the United States and Canada, but several failures have occurred at Bir mingham which has in some measure caused a gloom in the iron trade. THE ROUND TABLE AT WINDSOR CASTLE.—The reign of Edward 111. is one of the most important in respec to the history of Windsor, a large part of the existing castle having been built at that period. The extent of survey of the Castle in the first year of this reign is a very minute and important document, lately brought to light. Another equally important document is the builder's account for the Round Tower, which was entirely built from the ground in h the eighteenth year of this reign, and still remains, thotug much altered in appearance, from the additionalv sTrtiYe superposed by Mr. Wyatville under George building is sometimes called the Round Tower, l times the Round Table; and from other peculiarities Was built to same accounts, it is evident that the tower this round table hold the table.

The tower and table were erected in 10 months, the greatest haste being made in order that the new order of knights might dine at it on St. George's-day following its erection. Holinshed, in his " Chronicle," makes much of thi s round table as a great stroke of policy for attracting the free knights from all parts of Europe to take service under the English Crown ; and the King of France, Philip de Valois, was so jealous of it that he would not allow the French knights to accept the invitation, and ordered another round table to be made in imitation of that of the King of England.—Builder.

There are many appeals made to the charity of the Northern States, on behalf of their "suffering, brethren" at the South. It is represented that thr d ; are in great distress, many of them in danger of starvation, and that it would be genuine charity t o assist them. Admitting all this to be true, w ou ld it not be well for the Southern people themselves to do more for the fulfilment of this object than they have yet done? There seems to be no difficulty. in raising money in that section for political ob jects, and to enrich political victims. For in stance, the contributions to the family of Jeff. Davis are very large. He is not in danger of starvation, and while he is well supplied at Fortress Monroe, thousands of dollars, which would buy bread for suffering families of ex-Confederate soldiers, are contributed to the "Davis fund," the object being to furnish the chief rebel with a splendid private fortune. A Miss Eyans, the author of a novel entitled " Beulah," proposes to raise $60,000, to build a grand mausoleum in memory of the Confederate dead of Alabama, and she is making considerable progress in that object. At the same time the Governor of that State is in the North seeking to exchange State bonds for provisions to feed the starving families of the people of his State. It is said that sixty thousand rations are issued daily in that State, by the Freed men's Bureau, of which fifty-nine are sup plied to white people. In Baltimore appeals have been made for the suffering poor of South Carolina • and while the citizens of Maryl an d are making contributions for that purpose, eighteen hundred dollars were collected in Charleston, at a fair given to raise funds for the purpose of decorating the graves of the Confederate dead. Throughout the South large sums of money have been given for the same purpose, and enough has been spent for flowers and other tokens of mourning to keep many living persons in the South from starvation if it had been applied to their cases, instead of being spent in ovations to defunct treason. These are things which show that in the Southern mind charity does not begin at home. How can the Southern people expect liberal dona tions from the North, when they do nothing to re lieve their own distress, and spend whatever money .they can obtain by subscriptions amongst them selves for the purpose of making the memory of treason glorious. The Philadelphia Inquirer on the Fourth July says :—" To Philadelphians especially is this day a hallowed one. Ninety years ago, in the old State House on Chesnut-street, above Fifth, the Declara tion of Independence was signed, and the American colonies formally severed their connection with and renounced their allegiance to Great Britain. The act was one of most momentous importance, but. the Great Disposer of events and the Ruler of nations smiled benignly upon the solemn resolu tions of our fathers, and American liberty was achieved and a new Republic born which was destined to exert its influence through out the earth, and teach the slaves of kings and emperors that freedom is an actual, living principle, requiring only strong arms, true hearts, and courage to stand up for the right, to insure its advancement, and render it as enduring as the everlasting hills. In the progress which the United States made the world recognised the fact to a certain extent, but it was loth to acknowledge that the Republic was fixed upon a sure foundation. Foreign powers saw in the system of Southern slavery an evil which they fondly hoped would destroy the nation ; and when, in 1861, the Rebel lion opened its artillery against the national life their hopes seemed on the eve of fulfilment, and they proclaimed that the end was at hand. But wrong cannot always triumph. With the vic tory of justice, law and freedom over treason, despotism and human slavery, the world was taught another and second lesson in the history of our country. From the long and bloody struggle the American people emerged, crowned with unfading glory. Slavery perished in the con test—treason succumbed to loyalty, and patriotism once more proved to all men that it is sweeter to die for one's country that it may live than to sub mit tamely, wear the shackles of the despot, and die ultimately a slave. To-day we are looked upon as a nation whose right to its position in the great family cannot be gamsayed. We have established it beyond all cavil, and henceforth we assume a stand among the Powers of the earth second to none. It is proper, then, that we should celebrate this day with all becoming ceremonies ; and it will be hereafter delightful for our children and our children's children to revert' to this memo rable Fourth of July, 1866. Added to the illustrious deeds recalled in the past are the newer glories of the present ; for how is it possible yet for us to fully realise that the scenes, the battles, the defeats, and the final victories of the last four years are not still existing in the present ? True, they have passed away, but they live in our memories and those of our very babes, as though they were being enacted at this very moment. To-day Pennsylvania commemorates American Independence, on the spot where it had its birth in 1776. The old Common wealth renders her homage under extraordinary circumstances. Through the ordeal of a terrible and devastating war she, in conjunction with her loyal sisters, has safely passed. Lee met with defeat and disaster upon her soil, and retired, disheartened, dis comfited, to Virginia. The stalwart arms and brave hearts of our soldiers achieved the overwhelming triumph at Gettysburg; and Pennsylvania, and through her the Union, was saved from the ravages of a merciless and relentless foe. To-day the flags which Pennsylvania confided to the hands of her heroic sons are to be returned by them, tattered, and torn, and faded, and y e t wreat h e d with the immortelles of victory, and lustrous in the light of that freedom which dawned on every broad acre over which they advanced. In the imposing page ant of this day will be seen the standards which were borne through many a perilous fight, standards riddled with bullets and shot and shell, blackened amid the smoke and scorched in the fires of battle. As they pass along our streets, we shall think of Stone river and Roseucrans ; of Chickamauga. ; of Lookout Mountain and Hooker, and our own gallant Geary ; of the march o f Sher man to the sea, and thence through Scuth and North Carolina to Washington a nd home again. t ri d c e ll i n s u iv r e g,and Dare, and Birney which waved over Baker, and under , sodo all those w W h e i c h s h ail survivedgaze utphoen fierce remnants s tr uggles o.ifn,tth. the e s flags even Chancellorville, and those h d Grant. m rri b F le re b d u e These flags come Days' fight, and at Antiettae b them first unfurled th noble men who saw on e battle the sleep battle field.

But escorting these emblems o f ou r nationality to-day are the survivors, who re turn to us and to the State the sacred banners en trusted to their care during the war. They deserve the heartiest plaudits of th • eir countrymen, and Philadelphia, this morning, will prove that she is not ungrateful to her defenders and the upholders of that liberty which she gave to the Colonies in 1776. Independence -square has been well chosen for the ceremonies of the day, and as our veterans assemble within the shadow of that hall where the Declaration was signed, they will feel with the poet that they stand, indeed, on hallowed ground. The associations of the present with those of the past will render still more impressive the incidents of the occasion, and the men who rescued the nation from destruction will, on the sacred spot, swear anew their fealty to their country and the principles of universal liberty.
