MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The payment of the dividends, which commences to -day, is causing a better feeling among dis counters, but for the present the rates charged for a ccommodation show no important change. There is only a moderate demand for money both at the Bank and in the open market, and with the pro bable increase in the supply some concessions will, no doubt, soon be made to the commercial world. The weekly balance-sheet from the Rank of England, shows that the position of the establish ment has been further weakened, and that the authorities have had recourse to a sale of Govern ment securities to strengthen their reserves.

A further influx of £103,000 in gold took place at the Bank of England yesterday afternoon. The Atlantic Telegraph Company have issued proposals for an additional capital of £600,000, in shares of £5 each, for the construction and laying down a new cable, and also to recover the old one. These new shares are to have a preferential dividend of 12 per cent. Bullion Decrease••• Rest The Oriental Bank, at their meeting on the 19th inst., intend to propose an interim dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for the half-year ending the 30th of June last. The report of the Bank of Queensland to be pre sented on the 18th inst. shows an available total of £9,520, and recommends a dividend of 15s. per share, or at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, which will absorb £6,391, and the appropriation of £1,500 to reserve and £689 to preliminary ex penses, which will leave £940 to be carried for ward.

More activity has prevailed in the foreign and colonial produce markets during the last few days. A large business has been done in sugar, and prices have further advanced. Coffee has been in good demand at steady rates, while rice has been in re quest at enhanced prices. Spices and fruits have been inactive, and less business has been transacted in tallow, although prices for both present and for ward delivery continue exceedingly firm. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 95e. Excited. There is still a quiet feeling in the discount mar ket, and an early decline is considered more pro bable than an advance. Borrowers are limiting their transactions as much as possible, and capitalists evince more disposition to utilise their balances.

THE NEW READING-ROOM OF THE IMPERIAL LIBRARY, IN PARIS, is rapidly approaching completion. It will be lighted by nine cupolas, decorated with land scapes, bas-reliefs, caryatides, &c.; and there will be tables for 1,000 or 1,200 readers. It is on the plan of the reading room of the British Museum. THE CELEBRATED MECHANICAL DUCK OF VAUCAN SON is now being exhibited in the Rue de Paris, at Havre, in a small museum which takes its name from that illus trious mechanician. The bird, standing on a sort of box, shakes its wings, eats, drinks, and imitates nature so accu rately that the other day a dog flew at it, without, how ever, doing any mischief.—Galignani. VICTOR Hugo is engaged in correcting the proof sheets of his volume of popular songs, entitled " Les Chan sons des Rues et des Bois," which will be published simul taneously in Paris and Brussels. M.

DRAMATIC, EQUESTRIAN, AND MUSICAL SICK F UND ASSOCIATION.--The 10th annual meeting of the members, patrons, and friends of this society took place yesterday in the saloon of Drury-lane Theatre—Mr. Cres wick presiding in the absence of Mr. Webster, who had sent a communication from Paris expressing his regret that he was prevented from attending on the occasion. Mr. R. Philips read the report of the committee of management, which referred with confidence to the firm yet steady progress of the institution.

ANOTHER INVASION OF BEES.—With October weather so mild that gossamer is seen flying in our street, bees may be expected to discover sugar casks in our grocers' shops, and boldly advance towards them if doors are left open. Yesterday, one of the shops on the high-street 'was all but taken by storm by an army of bees, which made an assault on a sugar cask, defying all the merchant's efforts to repe. l them. It has always been a curious subject of i nqu i ry how the bees of a hive can manage to telleach other where a treasure maybe found. That they can do so admits o f no doubt, for every apiarian knows when he sees half a dozen of robbers hovering round a weak skep that half a hundred will come to-morrow, and next day thousands overwhelming all opposition. It is the same with attacks on sugar in grocers' shops—a few bees out marauding re connoitre the premises, and, going home, return with an army determined to plunder, though they should perish on the spot.—Elgin Courant. Ever since it was decided in Brooklyn, New York, that a negro could servo on a jury, and a case was tried with eleven white jurymen and one black one, negro stock has been looking up. The privilege has been ex tended, it seems, and white men summoned on the jury can now furnish negro substitutes. The system works beautifully, for as soon as drawn you can send your valet or coachman to the court-room, and think no more about it, and the happy negro, glad of anything that gives him importance, will administer justice to " de white folk" with infinite gueto.—Philadelphig Correspondent of the Tones. ^,--., filE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 1F65.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE SARAH DAVIS-CHANGE OF AIR. This bankrupt was described as a widow, formerly an outfitter and haberdasher, of London and Portsmouth, now a prisoner for debt, and to-day she applied for her release. Mr. Doria supported, Mr. Sargood opposing for Messrs. Caldecott and Co., who are creditors for nearly £2OO. Tho bankrupt stated that she left the country, and com ing up to London took lodgings in the City-road for " change of air" and the benefit of her health, subsequently removing to Mile-end for the same purpose. As the accounts were imperfect the application was opposed, and Mrs. Davis went back to prison. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. Edward Durham was placed at the bar charged with robbing Mary White. Constable Walter Gordon, of the F division of police, said that on the night of the sth inst. he saw the defendant in company with two other men, following the prosecu trig up St. Martin's-lane. He knew them all to b 3 convicted thieves, and therefore he was induced to watch them, as he felt they were about to rob the female. Before he could get up to them the woman, who was slightly intoxicated, went into a public-house, and tho men followed her. He (witness) also went into the house after them, but by another door, and there he saw them fumbling about the lower part of the woman's dress. They then I went out into the street, and he followed, when, seeing him, they all ran as quick as they could towards Long-acre. He pursued them, but he accidentally fell, and on getting up he found the men out of sight. He walked about for about 20 minutes, when on going up New-street, Covent-garden, he saw the pri soner, who ho was sure was one of the men, listening to some music which was being played in front of one of the houses. He went up to him and. took him into cus tody, when a violent struggle ensued between them, and then the other two men, whom he dil not see at first, ran from out the crowd. He obtained assistance, and the prisoner was conveyed to the station-house. Near the spot where the struggle took place a leather purse was picked up. The person who assisted the constable corroborated his evidence. Mary White said tile purse produced was hers, and it was stolen from her while in the public-house in St. Mar tin's-lane. Prisoner (to the constable)— Why ain't you got the other men ? You could have 'clin if ye like. You know where to get 'em, but I'spose it don't suit you. Gordon—Your worship, rsaw them on Sunday in Seven dials, but on seeing me they ran down Neal's-yard and escaped me. Prisoner—Oh yes, I dare say they did. Why, your worship, they're his "narks." They get up cases for hiip. He's a nice article, he is. Mr. Vaughan—ls anything known of the prisoner? Gordon—Both he and his two companions were con victed thieves. I've the warder of the House of Correc tion here to prove that against the prisoner. Prisonor—You're very kind ; but you had better have collared the other two. Mr. Vaughan—What have you to say to the charge ? Prisoner—What's the good of me saying anything ? It'll bo n 3 use. These two men: he speaks of he knows very well get cases for him. He could have had 'em if he liked. Mr. Vaughan—l shall fully commit you for trial. Prisoner—Very well. What would have been the use of saying anything ? I knowed you do that. He was then locked up. 91 93 64 44 63 65 42 44 37 40 'O4 106 120; 121 88 90 1(4 105 37 39 51 53 1231 :24i 95 96 67 5S 13%1 1391 3 lip 1 lop 101 104 125 125 , ! 16 2 p 91 96 62 63 <9 31 109 110 68 0 lO2i 104 36 37 10 li p 118 )20 3 i lip 1 14p 78 77 11 12 150 154 58 LO 6) at 57 59 80 51 8,1 150 155 3 5P 103 105 5 , ) 52 SIONS. 101 102 15} Ofd 15 181 85 d 7 1 4 d 101 102 93 95 83 90 64 66 82 84 101 102 101 102 id looi 103 j a 15 1 i I 97 8 fT SECUR 95 97 95 87 95 97 82 81 82 S 4 103 105 107 109 106 10 105 107 93i 916 1(3 105 110 112 104 106 106 108 107 109 1.5 107 102 104 96 98 9) 101 93 95 90 01 103 105 84¢ 09 101 102 103 106 108 105 106 101 11 185 191 560 580 4 24 26 11 12 5E 6 21 31 1 14 15 21 3 2 20& 21, 14 2 35 So 1 2) 3 39 41 41 1 3 5 3f 41 2) 1-d 35 40 10 12 1 32 14 430 450 3 3} 121 17 0 10 12 17 18 6 8 6 7 8 10 7,) 75 165 175 75 80 26 28 4 6 195 200 17 18 THAMES. CRUELTY TO A PONY.—Cornelius Driscoll, a boy, was brought before Mr. Partridge on a charge of cruelty to a pony, the property of Matthias Michaelis, a Jew, carrying on business as a coffee-house keeper in Grace's-alley, Wellclose-square. Yesterday evening the prosecutor sent his boy to a stable in Rosemary-lane to feed and clean his pony. Upon opon ing the stable-door other boys of the class called Arabs, who infest the district and are cruel end mischievous in their freaks, forced their way into the stable, beat the pony with sticks and pieces of wood, and put one boy on its back and made him ride the pony in the street. All this time the prisoner was beating the .pony with a stick as hard as he was able, and the blows fell thick and fast on its head, back, and shoulders. The animal escaped its persecutors by running back into the stable, and the prisoner forced its way in again, threw a pail of water over it, and then, with diabolical ferocity, forced the end of a stick into the animal's body. The rear of the animal was said to be injured and swollen. A police constable named Higgins, 60 H, sought for the young scoundrels who ill-used the poor animal, but could only find one of them. The prisoner, who said he was only 12 years of age, de nied that he injured the animal at all, and said that Bas sett's (a butcher) boy put another lad on the pony. He offered the animal a pale of water to drink. It would not drink, and he threw the water over the pony's legs. The father of the prisoner here stepped into the witness box, and said—As far as I can understand he never ill used the pony at all. He had a brother and a sister. I can't get him to work, and I am out late and early. Mr. Partridge—Have you ever sent him to school ? _ Witness—No. He won't go. Mr. Partridge—Have you ever taught him humanity and kindness to dumb animals? The father made no answer to the question, but repeated several times—l work early and late. Mr. Partridge was afraid the boy was neglected by his father, who had not done for him what he ought to have done. The boy said he was only 12 years of age, but 13 was stated to be his age on the charge-sheet, and he (Mr. Partridge) thought he was older than that. At any rate, the boy was old enough to know better, and had been guilty of cruelly torturing a valuable pony, and acting in a most disgusting and indecent manner to the animal. Such atrocious conduct in a boy he had never before met with during his long experience as a magistrate. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for ex weeks and kept to hard labour. SOUTHWARK. STEALING A GOLD WATCH.--John Brown, who described himself as a journeyman tailor, was charged this morning, before Mr. Burcham, with stealing a watch, the property of William Finchley, a clerk, living at 15, Leadenhall street. o'clock, The prose cu t or stated that l as t even i ng, a b ou t e i g ht passing th roug h a crowd on the Surrey side he heard the he was go i ng over L on don-b r id ge , an d while ticking of a watch. He put his hand into his pocket, and found his watch was gone, upon which he seized hold of the prisoner, who was close to hint, and accused him of stealing it. The prisoner denied the charge, and &lid he was willing to be searched, upon which he gave him into custody. He valued the watch at £4, and at the station he identified the watch taken on the prisoner as his property. Constable Garratt Monroe Pearce said that when the prisoner was brought to the station ho was searched, and the watch was found concealed in a very dexterous man ner on his person. The prisoner said nothing in his behalf, and pleaded guilty. Mr. Burcham (to the prisoner)—You seem to be a very artful thief, an d although you say you are a tailor there can be little d ou b t as to what your actual employment is. There is no ev id ence that you have been convicted before, and therefor e 1 sentence you merely labour, but had it b een otherwise your sentence would have been much m ore severe. to six months' hard DARING ROBBERY.—JOhn Brockett was charged with the following daring robbery. Elijah Parkington, a boot and shoemaker, in the Old Kent-road, stated that yesterday in the day-thrie he per ceived the prisoner loitering about his shop and watched him. He was at the opposite side of the road and he saw the prisoner attempt by one hand to pull the pair of boots produced from the string on which they ware hanging at the shop door. He failed in doing so ; then deliberately put up both his hands and dragged them down forcibly. He immediately ran across the road and seized him. The prisoner denied the caarge. Mr. Burcham said there could be no doubt as to his guilt, and he sentenced him to 14 days' hard labour. He remarked, at the same time,on the reprehensible practice of tradesmen in exposing their goods so as to hold forth a temptation to theft. SHOCKING DEATH OF A FIREMAN ON THE SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY.—On Wednesday evening an occurrence of a very shocking description took place upon the London and South-Western Railway, betweenßishop stoke and Winchester. The 715 up-train for Waterloo arrived in due course at Bishopstoke. Between the latter station and Winchester, the fireman, Spencer, who had previously complained to Watson, the driver, of being un well, was missed for a few minutes by the latter, who sup posed that Spencer was on the tender. Next to this was the break van, and the guard soon afterwards perceived the man's legs hanging over the roof of the carriage, which was spattered with blood. On examining the body of the unfortunate man, to the guard's horror he found that Spencer's head had been crushed in a frightful manner, and that the poor fellow was quite dead. It is supposed that while upon the roof of the van his head must have come in contact with one of the bridges, and so have been shattered instantaneously. --- A WOMAN'S HEAD FOUND IN THE THAMES.-011 Wednesday last William Lanham, a Waterman, found a human skull floating in the Thames. He conveyed it to the Woolwich police station, where it was examined by Dr. Stuart, the divisional police surgeon, who made a written report to the effect that he could detect no injury or fracture on the head, which, from the delicacy of its formation, was, no doubt, that of a young - woman, and had been in the water a long time. Information was forwarded, to Mr. C. 3. Carttar, coroner for West Kent, Who decided that it was net necessary to hold an inquest. ~J. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Would " the mysterious Chattanooga," as the sporting journals used to call Mr. Naylor's horse in the early spring, meet Liddington:to-day for the rich 500 sous. Sweepstakes? Tho former was on the ground, and it seemed as if he was going to do battle, but wiser counsels prevailed, and Mr. Merry's horse walked over for the forfeits. Regalia, the Oaks winner, and second in the St. Leger, made her appearance in a £5O plate over the Ro ,vley Mile, and, of course, made an example of her field at the same time. Her jockey never had to move on her, and her fine action ascending the hill was particuLrly noticeable. There was a good race for tho Bretby Stakes between Lady Sophie and Mirella (the lattornever mentioned in the betting), and by her winning giving the fielders a turn, which the disasters of the last two days rendered agree able. The Newmarket Oaks brought out a fair field, con sisting of Klarinska (with a 71b. penalty), Peeress, Gomera, Nukuheva, &e. They made Gomera a very warm favou rite indeed, 7 to 4 being taken freely about the Danebury mare, and the race was a fine one between her, Klarinska, and Peeress, Mr. Bowes's mare appearing to have a little the best of it, but Fordham stuck resolutely to Gomera, and within a few yards of the chair got her head in ad vance,—a good piece of riding on the jockey's part. Tho £lOO Plate, A. F., generally produces a good field and a good race, and out of the 12 starters the first and third were foreigners, Tanerede, a great striding horse, who has been running well on the Continent, winning easily by a couple of lengths, and Major Fridolin's Sultan finishing the same distance from the second horse. The 300 sovs Sweepstakes, reduced to a match between Esca and The Primate, the former allowed 31b, resulted rather unexpectedly in the former's defeat, and brought a fair afternoon's sport to a conclusion.

They ran thus into the cords, where Viceroy dropped back, leaving Jack o' Lantern in attendance upon the favourite, but without a chance of reaching her, and was beaten in a canter by a length and a half. The Masson was defeated by a neck for secondplace, and who finished a head in advance of Dawdle. The Scheldt was fifth, close up, and Viceroy sixth.

La Fortune was first off, and made the running, Furze Chat going on second, closely attended by the favourite and Peeress, Klarinska, and Nukuheva lying a couple of lengths in their rear. They ran thus to the Rowley mile post, where the French representative gave way, and Furze Chat was left with a slight lead, the lot closing up as they entered the dip. Here Furze Chat was disposed of, and Peeress, in company with Gomera and Klarinska, came on, and as they entered the cords were several lengths in ad vance of their horses. Half-way up Fordham appeared to have the best of it, but in a few strides further Klarinska headed him, and held her own to within a few strid es o f home, when Fordham made his effort, and won in th e l ast stride by a head, Mr. Bowes's filly defeating Peeress by half a length for second; Nukuheva was a b a d fourth La Fortune fifth, and Trapeze sixth.

Grey has appointed Mr. David Masson, of University College, London, to the chair of Rhetoric and English Literature in Edinburgh University, vacant by the death of Professor Aytouu. ITI ES. The Cattle Plague, Dr. Smart has made a report to the Lord Provost of Edinburgh on the cattle plague. He says : " There are yet only three kinds of drugi which I found it requisite to employ. 1. Laxative, with diu retic action. This is principally used in the early, but often required at other periods, in the progress of the disease. It is composed of nitrate of potash and powdered ginger, of each 1 oz. ; powder of sublimed sulphur, 2oz. ; treacle, llb ; water to make a quart, and well mixed. This quantity is given night and morning, or, if requisite, of tener, until scouring is produced. Afterwards, an occasional bottle will maintain their free, without excessive, action. As the vitalpowers sink rapidly, there should be as little delay as possible in administering stimu lants. I have found the following mixture possess ing stimulant, diuretic, and diaphoretic properties, very efficacious :—Carbonate of ammonia, 4 of an oz. ; sweet spirit of nitre and spirit of mindereis, of each Iloz. ; cold water, 9oz. ; mix. This dose, from the commencement of ' treatment, is administered thrice a day during the entire course of the disease. When prostration is great it is sometimes needful to enjoin it with the laxative given along with all other medicines. In such cases the doses are smaller. "When convalescence is fully established a simple tonic hastens recovery. I find none so good and safe as cinchona bark. The best quality only should be used, and given in doses of one ounce and a half of the powder. This tonic in the early period of convalescence is combined with the stimulant, and at a later period with a quart of good sweet ale given once daily. It is best admini stered at night. With the exception of an occasional dose of laudanum (two tablespoonfuls to any medi cine the animal is getting, or in the food) to obviate straining and control excessive diarrhoea, no other drugs are used. The diet should be simple, and until decided convalesence, well cooked, and given in small and regulated quantity. I use the following: —l. Full mash ; it is composed of four handfuls of bran, four ditto brewer's draff, llb of peasemeal, 21b of mashed turnips, well boiled. Not too thick, and given night and morning. At midday a drink of gruel is given, made with 21b of oatmeal, well boiled in six quarts of water. In addition to these some raw turnip (21b, for example, of green tops), and lib of hay, may be allowed in small quantities dur ing the 24 hours. To allay thirst three to four quarts of water, previously boiled and allowed to cool, is given in mouthfuls during the day. This constitutes the full diet of a decided convalescent. Half of this diet is, in most instances, during the acute course of the disease, too much. In all cases the same kind of food and periods of giving it are followed. There are some animals that for a time refuse all food, not excepting gruel. In such cases the gruel is admini stered by the bottle thrice daily, along with or after the medicine. The animal should get a little mash as soon as it takes it voluntarily. It is often expedient to miss a meal, especially whenever symptoms of an unfavourable indication appear. Those are not of unfrequent occurrence during the course of treat ment. Grass is given, and the quantity of hay and turnips increased as there is progress towards more perfect recovery. The more obvious indications of convalescence are :-1. Recovery of appetite ; 2. Greater animation ; 3. Return of breathing and pulse to their normal condition ; 4. Increase of milk ; 5. Chewing the cud. Summary of treat ment : —l. The animal is at once taken from its ordinary food and separate from the rest. 2. Placed in a well-aired byre or house, free from draughts, and the temperature of which is maintained at '7O deg. F. or 75 deg. F. 3. The animal is well rubbed down, and thoroughly cleaned and covered with a good rug. 4. If there be constipation, begin with laxative and continue night and morning, or, if re quired, oftener until there is free scouring. 5. Let there be no delay in giving the stimulant, and, if needful, combine it with the laxative. 6. Defer giving any ale and bark until convalescence appears. 7. To obviate straining or excessive purging, two tablespoonfuls of laudanum nightßaenedarmefouirntinogamvoaiyd be added to other medicine. 8. over-feeding, as an error in diet may prove fatal. 9. See that the cow is well milked night and morn ing (even when there is no yield) during the course of the disease. 10. All the droppings should be at once disinfected by solution of chloride of lime, and quickly removed. 11. The affected animals should _be frequently and closely observed, and threateninn indications treated as they occur." A. Cairo correspondent, writing on the 28th ult. says :—" I am afraid the cattle plague is again manifesting itself here. A native landlord told mo two days ago of his having heard of the loss of 19 buffaloes in one homestead, and that the malady had never. completely ceased since its first ap pearance. For a long time we have been paying 14 piastres—equal to is. Bd.—for 15 ounces of butter. Meat also fails us occasionally, when we are reduced to dining off cocks and hens. A pair of ducks costs from five to nine shillings—an enor mous price for Egypt."
