MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The money market presents a firmer aspect, although no important alteration is perceptible. The unfavourable condition of the weather gives rise to prognostications of a not large harvest, and capitalists are not disposed to enter into extensive engagements. The rate in the open market for the negotiation of the best paper ranges from 3i per cent. The following, is the answer received to a memo rial addressed by the committee of the Greek bond holders to the Chambers at Athens. The document sets forth the claims of the foreign creditors of Greece "Athens, August 10. "Dear Sir,—l have to inform you that on Monday, the 7th inst., I presented the memorial of the committee of the Greek bondholders to the President of the Assembly, a4 Companying it with a Greek translation, and with a few hoes from myself. "The President, Mr. Kerhayus, read it before the Chambers. After the memorial was read the Assembly resolved that it should be submitted to the committee on Mentorials for their consideration.—l remain, sir, "L. MERCATI. "To Mr. Haslewood, chairman." It is announced that the list of the Anglo-Greek Steam Navigation and Trading Company is being kept open for the return of the post next week from Athens, Smyrna, and Constantinople. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Renter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 6 8f. 10c. Heavy. The English Stock Market has been very ad versely affected to-day, owing chiefly to the un settled state of the weather, which, it is thought, trurst eventually influence the value of money. Consols have fallen . 1 - per cent., the quotations being 891 k for money, and 89k for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 891 ; India 5 per Cents., 105 1 ; do. 5 per Cents. 101. In the Foreign Stock Market a general decline has taken place. Turkish Consolides are 484 49 ; Mexican, 231 s ; the New Loan, 221 ; Greek, 2 01 ; Spanish Passive, 29+ I; Certificates, 14i 1 ; 631 64 ; and the Confederate Loan, 6 8. American Securities, however, show very little damage. United States Government 5-20 Bonds are 69 ; Erie Shares, 53 k ; Illinois, 78179. In the Railway Share Market a heavy tone has prevailed, and most of the principal lines show a further decline as regards prices. Brighton and South Eastern have each receded 15s. ; Great Northern A Stock and Metropolitan each 10s.; and Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North Western each ss. In the Foreign and Colonial lines there is hardly a uY inquiry, and prices remain unaltered. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue dull. London and County are marked 744 4 ; London Joint -Stock, at 471 ; Alliance Bank, 29 1 ; Joint Stock Discount, 8* ; Royal Mail Steam, 119 ; and Overend, Gurney, and Co., HI4.

The illegal owners of the Hollands were, however, non est, having evidently been disturbed by the officer's, approach. At a later part of the morning the cargo was removed to the charge of Mr. R. G.

Crystal Palace and South London Junction Itail*ay. MEETING THIS DAY. The sixth half-ye:trly meeting of this company was held to-clay, at the Victoria-station, Westminster—Sir Cusack P. Roney, the chairman. of the company, presiding. The report and statement of the accounts, which have been published, havirtg been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN said that the line was not opened for traffic to the high level station until the Ist instant, and the works were in a rather incomplete state. The inter mediate stations at Denmark-hill and Peckham were not yet opened, and the same was the case with reference to Lordship 'Lane, Honoroad, and Nunhead line, but they were in progress, and he hoped would soon be finished. They had not yet had ready means of access from the City, but as soon as the extensions in progress with the Great Northern and other companies were com pleted, they would ricquire increased facilities of commu nication between the most important points, which could not fail to increase largely their traffic. Theg had no reason to complain of their present success, for during the first week filly carried between 4,000 and 5,000 passengers, in the second week 10,000, and in the third week 10,000. They had only' nineteen t rains running at present, but when their arrangements were fully carried out there was no doubt that number would be doubled. He concluded by moving the adoption of the re port and statement of accounts. Sir C. H. S. Elm seconded the motion, which was agreed to. Thanks were then voted to the chairman and the board of directors for the able manner in which they had admi nistered the affairs of the company. - The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the compliment, said he was confident when they met the shareholders next half-year, the directors would be able to show that this line would prove a paying and a profitable undertaking. The proceedings then terminated. SPORTING IN TELLIGEN CE. YORK AUGUST MEETING—TuEsDAy. Racing, to the real lover of the sport, has been dull and uninteresting work since Goodwood. Brighton, with the exception of the contest for the Cup, was below par, while Reading, Egham, and Oxford have been only distinguished for plating form and an excess of half-mile spins. One turns therefore to Knavesmire with a feeling of relief, secure of finding on ground, so rich in the traditions of the past, a renewal of those contests that have almostmade a household word of its name. The York August has only one hostile element arrayed against it—the grouse. Sportsmen hardly like to quit their moors in the first flush of the season, even to see the Great Yorkshire or the Great Ebor run for, and the young ones the Convivial or the Gimcrack may show them ; but to-day there was a fair share, and more than a fair one, on the pri vate and subscription stands of the rank and fashion of the West Riding. The skies were propitious, and the going, with the exception of the ground being holding in places, might be considered good. Hornblower, a tremendous favourite for the first event, the Zetland Stakes, disposed of his pretensions for the Ebor on the morrow by shutting up directly they began to race, and Ambition won cleverly. The rich Black Duck Stakes of 1,000 sovs each, was a walk over for Lord Stamford with the "dark" Esca, Lord Coventry and Lord Glasgow com pounding for £3OO each forfeit ; and Peeress made an ex ample of her field in the Chesterfield Handicap, extinguish ing Nemo, a stable companion of Hornblower, and also a candidate for Great Ebor honours. The big race seems dwindling down into a small compass. The greatest surprise of the day was in the Yorkshire Oaks, where the little thought of Klarinska, who was nearly last off, ran through her horses, and won in the commonest of canter, by five lengths ; Siberia, who in the Newmarket Craven teat her by 15 lengths, here running second ; while the favourite, White Duck, was positively last. The Zetland Stakes, of 5 sow each, with 100 added, for all ages ; weights for age ; winners extra ; the second to save his stake. One mile. 14 subs. Mr. W. Morris's Ambition, by Brother to Bird on the Wing, 2 yrs, sst 111 b (Goodwin) 1 Mr. Handley's Retrousse, 2 yrs, Est (Kenyon) 2 Mr. Singleton's Fitzroy, 2 yrs, Est (Dunbar) 3 Mr. Giubilei's Proserpina, 2 yrs, Gat 21b (in. 41b extra) (Key) 4 The following also ran :—Treasure Trove, Windham Miss Harriette, Blackface, Dart, Kate Hampton, Fortress Countess, Sister to Strafford, and Hornblower. Betting-2 to 1 agst Hornblower, sto 1 agst Miss Har riette, 6 to 1 agst Windham, 10 to 1 each agst Ambition and Fitzroy, and 100 to 6 agst any other. Through the fractiousness exhibited by Kate Hampton, who repeatedly refused to face the flag, the start was de layed some time. At last the flag was lowered, when they left in close company, Proserpine in the centre, having a slight lead of Windham and Ambition, close up with whom were seen Miss Harriette (wide on their right), Horn blower, and Retrousse, who ran in company to the bend in to the straight, where Windham dropped into the rear, and his place taken by Ambition, next the rails, who headed Proserpine in the next half-dozen strides, and came on with a slight lead to the distance, where she was joined by. Retrousse and Fitzroy. From this point a close and interesting race ensued between the four; Ambition, who always appeared to have the best of it, running the longest, and winning, rather cleverly at last, by half a length ; a similar distance separated the second and third ; Proser pine, who finished fourth, was a length in their rear; Miss Harriette was fifth, close up, Windham sixth, Blackface seventh, and Hornblower and Dart, side by side, next. Treasure Trove, Sister to Strafford, and Countess were the last three. The Black Duck Stakes of 1,000 sovs each, 300 sovs for feit, for the produce of mares covered in 1862; colts, Bst 101 b; fillies, Bst 61b, with certain allowances. Three quarters of a mile. Three subs. Lord Stamford's br c Esca (31b), Bst 71b (Carroll) w.o.

Betting-4 to 1 agst Nemo, 6to 1 agst Exceller, 7to 1 agst Audax, 8 to 1 each agst Peeress, Red Earl, and Flying Horse, 10 to 1 agst My Mary, and 12 to 1 agst Celerrima. My Mary appeared in advance, when fairly on their legs, and came on with the running, having Peeress, Flying Horse, Exceller, and Red Earl as her immediate followers to the T.Y.C. post, where the former disappeared from the front, and her place was then taken by Peeress, who came on next the rails with a clear lead, which she retained to the half distance, where Exceller, having ran through his horses, joined her, but, dying away as they passed the stand, he was beaten cleverly by three parts of a length, a length separated the second and third, Zenobia was fourth, a neck in their.rear, Aline fifth, Audax sixth, and Fair Melrose next; the others, who were pulling up, were all close together, The Yorkshire Oaks of 15 goys each, 5 ft, with 100 soya added; for 3-yr-old fillies, Bst 101 b each; winners 41b extra, with maiden allowances; the second to receive 50 soya out of the stakes, and the third to save her stake.

POLICE IN F.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. TILE SOI-DISANT GERMAN BARON AND HIS VICTIMS. — Ernest Rathenow, a tall German, also styling himself the " Baron Rox," wearing a fashionable grey coat, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting police-cpnstable 54 E under the following peculiar circumstances : A number of cabmen were in attendance to prefer charges against the prisoner. The constable said—l was called to 77, Margaret-street, where a lady, who was in the area, told me that she re quired protection from the prisoner, who was conducting himself in a most extraordinary manner. The .prisoner was in the passage and would not let any one into the house. He afterwards made his appearance at an upper window and poured two or three jugs of water over him. I afterwards gained admission to the house and took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner gave the name of the Baron Rex. The Prisoner—My name is Ernest Rathenow. Can I speak ? Mr. Knox—Certainly. Prisoner—l've no questions to ask the constable, but I did not see him when I threw the water. Constable—lt is not true. He came to Margaret-street on Monday evening and engaged apartments, stating that his luggage would come the next day. He gave the name of Alberts, and ho was known at the Prussian embassy. Mr. Hudson, of No. 77, Margaret-street, said—The pri soner came to my house on Monday evening and took apartments. On Tuesday morning several cabmen came to the house and made a disturbance. The prisoner came inside and shut the door, would not let any one in, and said he would sit in the passage. In fact, I was afraid ho would do mischief either to myself or a little girl. A large crowd collected outside the house. He dined on Monday evening at my house, and ordered a bottle of whisky, and yester day he had breakfast. Mr. Knox—My doubt is whether he is in his right mind. Prisoner—l don't see that I have committed myself. Mr. Knox—You have thrown water over the constable and caused a disturbance. There are a number of cabmen outside. Prisoner—Oh, that's very likely. Constable—There is a gentleman present who says the prisoner has been in an asylum. Prisoner—l have been in ono, and I got heavy damages against the person who put me there. I suppose because a man takes cabs and does not pay for theni immediately, he is mad! A cabman here stepped forward and said—The prisoner I took me from Oxford-street to the Blackwell Station. While there another cabman came up and claimed some money of him, and two or three others wanted to see him. The prisoner then went into a shop to see the directory, and afterwards told me to ride to Aldermaubury, then to Throgmorton-street, then to Percy-street, Tottenham court-road, and back again. As I could not get my money I took him to the Guildhall Police-court. They told me there that I had better take him back to Percy-street, which I did, when he ran into the house like steam and through another house, but I succeeded in catching him. He then told me 1 could lock him up, at the same time giving an address in Cavendish-square. After that he made off to the Pantheon; and tried to escape me by dodg ing amongst the different stalls. From the Pantheon he went to Marshall and Snelgrove's, and after another sharp chase I tracked him to 77, Margaret-street, the door of which house ho opened with a latch-key. Finding I had him safe, I went for a constable, and saw him throw water over him. A person living in Percy-street said—The prisoner opened the gate and ran through the house, nearly knock ing me down. I then told the cabman to look after him. Mr. Knox (to the prisoner)—Have you any friend in London? Prisoner—Yes, the secretary to the Pmssian Legation. Another cabman, an elderly, good-humoured man, after taking a scrutinising glance at the prisoner, said— On Sunday morning last, at a quarter to 7, he engaged me in Camden Town. He then took me to Castle-street, where he changed his suit of clothes. He then told me to drive to Finchley. When we got to the first gate he said he had nothing less than a sovereign. I lent him a half penny till he got through, knowing the man. On getting to tho second gate he said he had only a£s note. I went to Grove-place, and there prisoner stopped. The gentle man at the house gave me a cup of coffee. I afterwards had dinner, the prisoner staying there some hours. Just as we were about leaving the gentleman came out and told me he was glad to get rid of his visitor, at the same time saying, "Do you know him—he is a slippery cus tomer ?" which put me down in my luck—(laughter) —as I thought I had a tidy job, which your worship will see it turned out. (Laughter.) The prisoner then told me to drive to Bayswater, to Fitzroy-square, and to his house in Tower-street. When he came out of the house I asked him for my money, and he said, "If you go back to Oxford-street I'll settle with you." On arriving there—the round being up—he told me to wait till next day, so I followed him, and at last spoke to him, when he gave me a false address. I have also ascertained that he has obtained goods of different trades men. I went to the address ho gave me, and found it to be false. I also found that he had taken three lodgings in one day, -at each saying his baggage was at the King's cross station. He also gave an address in Wigmore-street. Ah ! there's a butcher there wants to see him. A Mr. Groom wants to see him, and so does Mr. Way. It's all true what I'm saying, and my gentleman knows it. I'm glad he is here, as it will save persons from being robbed by a man who bilks cabmen, and takes three lodgings in one day. Constable—A gentleman in Regent-street has a claim or charge against the prisoner. Mr. Knox—l shall remand him. Constable—Goods were sent in the prisoner's name to Margaret-street, but were not taken in. Cabman—l was engaged 11 hours, and never got a penny, and there are several others who have been served the same way by him. WESTMINSTER ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—James Andry, 22, and John Dwyer, 21, the latter of whom was convicted some timo ago at this court for a desperate assault on the police, were charged with assaulting James Barker, police-ser geant, 16 B. From the evidence of prosecutor it appeared that he was returning home from duty yesterday evening, and was near his home. Ho met both prisoners, who were drunk and rolling about the street. As he attempted to avoid them, Dwyer said, " Let the - have it," and making a rush they knocked him with violence against some shutters. He ordered them to desist, and being in plain clothes told them he was a p o li ce - cons t a bl e ; they appeared to aggravate Dwyer, w h o aga i n assau lted him, upon which he seized him, a n d h av i ng t wo b un dl es , could not take Andry. The latter seized him by the neck and nearly strangled him, while Dwyer resisted. A neighbour then came to the sergeant's assistance and held the bundle he was carrying. Dwyer said he would not be taken, and both seriously assaulted the constable. Dwyer managed to effect his escape. Andry was very violent, and said on the way to the station that he knew the constable and would mark him by and bye. Dwyer was taken five hours after. Both prisoners flatly denied the charge, but wished to have the case settled at once. Mr. Arnold said it was very clear that the conduct of the prisoners had been very disgraceful. Whether the sergeant was in plain clothes or not, it was no excuse that in their drunkenness they should " run a muck" at every body they met. He considered the case fully made out, and sentenced the prisoners to ten days' imprisonment with hard labour. THAMES. WAIFS AND STRAYS, FRIENDLESS AND UNCARED FOR. — George Watson, William Bone, Joseph Waters, and Richard Smith, each aged 14 years, were brought up on remand before Mr. Paget for the third timo charged with tearing up their clothing in the casual ward of the Poplar Union Workhouse. The prisoners were admitted into the destitute ward of the Poplar Union house a few nights ago, and at the instigation of older paupers destroyed all their clothing, and assigned as a reason for doing so that their garments were old, dirty, and offensive, and could not be worn any longer. Smith had been in custody before for a similar offence. The prisoners, half-starved looking creature; were without homes, and friendless. Swallow, a police constable of the A reserve, No. 658, had made inquiries at the request of the magistrates, and ascertained that Watson and Bone had no parents living. They were homeless and starving. The parents of Waters did for merly reside in Spottles-place, Bermondsey, and the pa rents of Smith at No. 14, Waterloo-place, Deptford. Smith's father was formerly in the employ of Mr. Hart, of High-street, Deptford. There was no one to claim the boys, no one took the least interest in them, and but for the humanity of the Legislature in providing nightly re fuges for the houseless, they would have perished. Mr. Paget thought the best course to pursue would be to provide an asylum for the prisoners at the public ex pense, and committed them to the Middlesex School of Industry at Peltham for three years. CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—George Hanson, a Danish seaman, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with cutting and wounding an American seaman, who did not appear. Mr. Paget asked if the wounds were dangerous ones ? Bartholomew O'Reilly, a police-constable, 408 B, said the wounded man had gone on board an American ship, which was to sail this afternoon. Mr. Daniel Ross, surgeon, of High-street, Shadwell, said the American seaman had received two punctured wounds on the back of the head. They were evidently inflicted with a knife, but were not dangerous. Mr. Paget discharged the prisoner, and, on the applica tion of Mr. Ross, allowed half a guinea fee for the surgeon's attendance under the new regulation. FEES AND FINES AT THE METROPOLITAN POLICE COURTS.—It appears from the finance accounts lately issued that last year the fees, fines, and penalties re ceived at the metropolitan police courts amounted to £12,070 is, 10d, LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. F. Gibbons.) ALLEGED FRAUDS UPON PA*NBROKERS BY "DUFFING' WATCHES.-GLOVER V. 'RUSSELL. This was an action of a very novel character, and dis closed a system under which respectable pawnbrokers aro victimised by what are called " duffing" gold watches. The plaintiff was described as a merchant, of the Queen's road, Dalston, and he sued to recovej the value of a watch, stated to be gold, which he alleged he had redeemed at the defendant's shop. Mr. Neate, solicitor to the Pawnbrokers' Protection Society, appeared for the defendant, a pawnbroker, of Fore-street, in the City. Plaintiff said that a short time ago he purchased two tickets of two gold; watches, which had been pawned, the one at Mr. Attenborough's, and one at defendant's, by a man named Stone, who resides in the New North-road. Plaintiff redeemed the watches and tried to sell them, but finding they would not suit his market, sent back the one he had redeemed from defendant to be re-pledged. It was refused as being of no value, and then plaintiff brought the present action to recover the money he had paid for it when he took it out of pawn in the first instance. His Honour—ls the watch in Court ? Mr. Neate—Yes, sir, but .1 think I had better not pro. duce it until I have cross-examined tho plaintiff. His Honour—Let me see it. Mr. Neate—Although it is described as a gold watch it has been discovered that the back only is gold, and the rims silver gilt. In fact, it is an article expressly got up to defraud'pawnbrokers. Plaintiff, in cross-examination—l believe that the watches are sold in the usual way of trade by a person in Queen street. I am quite sure that I redeemed the watch now produced at defendant's shop, where it had been pledged for £2 2s. Defendant—l do not remember the watch now produced having ever been pawned with me, but I do recollect its being offered. While my young man was examining it, the back fell out, and he discovered that the rims were silver gilt. His Honour (to plaintiff)—Have you any witnesses ? Plaintiff—My clerk. A young man came forward and said he was clerk to plaintiff, who bought and sold goods for cash, but had no office except at Queen's-road, Dalston. His Honour—l am not at ail satisfied with the case, and really, looking at the watch produced, it appears to me to be got up for the purpose of fraud. Mr. Neate—l am informed that these watches are im ported into this country at 355. each. They are called " duffers," and my client has been victimised with another of them, upon which he has advanced 50s. Plaintiff—May I ask the defendant a question ? His Honour—No. I am not satisfied with your case or with the description given of you by your clerk. Plaintiff—Then I shall take the matter to the superior court. Mr. Neate-1 apply for costa of attorney, as this is a case n which a large body of tradesmen are concerned. His Honour—l shall certainly allow costs, as lam of opinion that this watch was manufactured for the express purpose of swindling pawnbrokers. • Plaintiff nonsuited with costs. MARKETS-Ihis Day.

Tbis morning Mr. Bird, the coroner, held an inquest on the body of Daniel Dowsett, who, it will be recollected, stood charged with the murder of his wife by cutting her throat. The deceased woman was a laundress, and was found dead in her drying ground, and from the circum stance of the husband being the only person near a t th e time, he was suspected of the murder. Before he was taken into custody he inflicted a frightful wound in his throat, and then attempted to jump into the river Caine. He was, however, secured and taken by the police to the Isleworth Infirmary, where, after lingering 10 weeks, he died two days ago. He was sensible during the time but for short intervals, during some of which he said the matter was a bad job, and that he had no desire to recover. Alfred Randall, an errand boy, deposed to having seen Mrs. Dowsett lying in the meadow with her throat cut, and her husband by her side. Police-constable Wilson said he found the deceased man lying on the bank of the river Caine, and as he was bleeding ho took him to the Infirmary. Dr. Mackinlay said the cause of the death of Dowsett was the wounds on the neck. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased died from self-inflicted wounds, but that there was no evidence to show the state of his mind at the time. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE —This day.
