_~ ONEY MARKET ' I OIVIDIEROIAII TWELVE o'CLoCK. A more m o d era t e d eman d f or di scoun t 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 iu 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 6 and 7 per cent. The report of the National Bank of Liverpool shows an available total of £22,175, and recom mends a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, leaving £7,175 to be carried forward. Gold to the amount of £38,000 was withdrawn from the Bank on Saturday for shipment to Bel glum. The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit tance of £2BB 18s. id. on account of the dividends ou the debt of Ecuador. An interim dividend for the past half-year has been declared by the Hercules Insurance Company, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, payable the 1 0th proximo. It is announced that the Bonds of Viceroy of ' 4 gYPt's Loan are now ready for delivery at the An glo-Egyptian Bank, in exchange for the fully Paid up scrip, which must be left one clear day for examination. The appeal against the order made on Tuesdaylast by Vice -Chancellor Stuart appointing one of the cre ditors, together with Mr. Alfred A. James, official l iquidators of the International Contract Company, has been heard by the Lord Chancellor, and dis missed with costs. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse, this morning, according to lteuter's telgram, the 3 per cent. Rentes were 69f. Inanimate. 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 + for money, and 881 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.

There has been a diminution, however, in potatoes, timber, coffee, and tobacco. 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.

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 qu&tations, 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. prices very little change from last week took place. There was a fair demand for cakes at late currencies. TALLOW.

MANSION-HOUSE. ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.—James Swain 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. From the evidence of one of the City detectives it ap peared that about 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 ende9.vouring 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 swain 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 13, repeated their story of being on the premises looking for work, but it appealed that they were both old offenders, and previous convictions were proved against them. The female denied all knowledge of the other prisoners, and sho 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. Tho 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 Sing 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 beaten by Vespasian arose from the former baying 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 he 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 iu 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-morrow, 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 continuance of the hard ground, which for some time past has threatened to 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 the 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 Lavaut 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 Tourmalin or Janitor. The latter's chance looks best, but the market tells a different tale. However, I must pin my faith to TOURMALIN to win the much-coveted trophy of 1866, Moulsey being next best, in my opinion. If any important alterations in the market take place I shall apprise my readers of it on Wednesday. A FRESH MAN. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASVRE.

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 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 1,300 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 Gs per Blbs. 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.

In WESTMINSTER. HORRIBLE CONDUCT OF A HAWKER.— Mary Prosegar, 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 tho workhouao, 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. Ho 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- It'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 woman, " Your child is dying ;" to which she replied, "Mind your business and be Mr. Arnold—This is a most serious matter. • I shall re mand Sou until Saturday next. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ALLEGED VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A POST-OFFICE LETTER CARDIER.—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 ho could get a chance he ran away, but one of them pursued him and hal him, and searched his pockets three times over and took his money, a kuife, and his pin from his breast. They then made off and he pursued them, keeping his eye on the prisoner, and on coming 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. He afterwards picked up a pin, and as ono of his companions ran away he 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 " Would not you do so 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) wont for a constable, and did not see what afterwards occurred. The prisoner's father said he did not believe his son could be guilty 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 ho 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. He 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 charge, and bad no doubt it arose out of a drunken squabble, the prosecutor, it being shown, not being sober. THAMES. MATRIMONIAL BR A.WLS.—SamueI Joyce, engineer, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with assaulting his wife, a spare, pale-faced woman. The parties reside in Grove-street, St. George-in-the- East, had been married 10 years, and had several children, but had led a very unhappy life. The prisoner had acted with great 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 peace for twelve months. On Saturday night she hart no food for herself and children, and sent a little boy to a bear-house where he was drink ing and called him cut. 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 them struggling together and parted them. The prisoner then 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, accused his wife of infidelity. She once stopped out nine nights and days, and gave no ac count of herself when she returned. He found her once in bed with a young man. Her re latives had ill use d him, and g ydenial and other i rregu l ar iti es . Theencouraged iymd an her g in v e her a generaldulte r to the ch arges aga inst her, and alleged that her husband once destroyed all the furniture they b a d with a choper. a a Mr. Partridge sa id the p risone r ought to h ave p u t awa y his wife and refuse d to maintain her if she h a d comm itt e d en e e adultery, but he had no right to b oa t h er. He sentenced the prisoner to one month's Imprisonment and hard labour. It is reported that a marked change in the Horse Shoo Falls at Niagara has occurred.

YORK RACES.--A meeting of the committee of the York Races was hold last week, at which the con tract for the erection of a new stewards' stand in the York ling, to cost 11,300, 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 accommoda tion is to be feroished 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. rr 'l l l - 11111) SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK.

Lord J. MANNERS replied in the affirmative. LAND TENURE IN IRELAND. Mr. REARDEN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce a like bill for the tenure and improvement of land in Ireland, to that which was introduced by her Ma jesty's Government in 1852, and which contained a clause granting compensation for retrospective, as well as future, durable improvements. Lord NAAS said ho could give no other answer than that which he gave the other day in the course of the de bate on the subject of land tenure in Ireland. The ques tion would receive the serious consideration of the Go vernment during the recess, and if they saw their way to bring in a bill to provide for bona fide improvements effected by tenants.

BRUCE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government, early next session, to bring in a bill for the better regulation of theatres and places of public entertainment, in accordance with the report of a committee of this house on theatrical licences and regula tions. Mr. WALPOLE said the subject would receive consi deration during the recess, with the view of a bill being brQught in next session, but whether it wonld be in exact accordauo. with the report of the committee he could not say.

In reply to Mr. WHITE ' Lord STANLEY said it was not his intention to pro ceed with the bill to-night. THE HABEAS CORPUS ACT. In reply to Mr. MAGuthE, Lord NAAS said he proposed to ask leave to-morrow night to bring in a bill further to suspend the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland. Mr. MAGUIRE said he would propose an amendment on the motion for the second reading of the bill. THE HYDE PARK DEMONSTRATION. Mr. B. COCHRANE, adverting to the remarks which he made in the house a few evenings ago, maintained that he was perfectly correct in his statement with reference to the letter written by the hon. member for Birmingham, and characterised a parrgraph which appeared in a morning paper on the subject, as malicious. He would not have taken any notice of the paragraph, he said, had it not:been copied into other papers. Mr. HADFIELD rose to order, and asked if it was fair make such observations in the'absence of the bon. member for Birmingham. (Hear, hear.) The SPEAKER said there was a difference between personal explanation and charges against others. In regard to a charge against newspapers the rule is that the paper should be read, and the hon. member should proceed with a motion on the subject. Mr. M‘LAREN thought the accusation of Mr. Cochrane as unfounded - as the original charge, and expressed his belief that the letter was never written to the newspapers at all, but to an individual wll6 had sent it to them. Mr. COCHRANE again rose to address the house but was called to order. After some observations from Mr. HADFIELD, who deprecated an accusation being made against an hon. member in his absence, the subject dropped. The Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill was read a second time. On the motion for going into committee on the Fortifi.. cations (Provisions for Expenses) Bill, Mr. OSBORNE expressed his objection to embarking in a design for erecting fortresses fer which they had no guns, and without knowing what the expenses might be. General PEEL defended the bill. [LEFT SITTING.I Destructive Fires.—(This Day.) This morning, between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock, a, very alarming fire broke out in the premises occupiel by Mr. Pillett, fancy basket maker, situate in Devous-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 the 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. 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 and act M an chester be the rate carried forward.
