MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The proceedings of the Bank of England to-day did not excite particular interest, and no surprise Was manifested when it was announced that the inininium would remain at 2 per cent., although the ordinary value of money in other directions is little more than 11 per cent. No doubt the resources of the chief establishment will increase, notwith standing the agricultural requirements and the holiday expenditure here and abroad, as usual at this period of the year. Continuous and rather heavy rains have fallen within the last two days, but the effect in the prin cipal agricultural districts generally has not been unfavourable. Notwithstanding the wet, the cold, and even frost, there is a confident impression among farmers that the yield will not be far short of an average ; and the letters from Yorkshire, portions of Kent, Sussex, and the Midland districts are on the whole encouraging. Even assuming that the crop of wheat be deficient, there is full compensa tion in the promised supplies of cereals from Ame rica, Australia, and Europe, also in the abundance Produced in the hay fields, and the steady decline of the disease among cattle. At the meeting held to-day of the Irrigation Company of France the report confirmed in al essential particulars the favourable anticipations which have been held out to the shareholders, and an account is given of the prospects of the various Undertakings in hand, which are satisfactory and encouraging. The works of the four canals already taken up have been pressed forward with all possible activity, and although in the case of two of them—the Siagne Canal and the upper branches of the Lagoin Canal the opening, which Was expected to take place in the course of the present summer, will, through de lays and other unavoidable circumstances, be delayed, but this slight postponement will be of no pecuniary importance. Two of the credits which the directors in their last report stated they expected to open with, French financial companies, have been obtained and are in operation—namely, those for the Verdon and the St. Mortory Canals, and that the negotiations for the others are in an advanced state ; whilst in respect of one canal, the Siagne, a special supplemental credit has been ob tained in London. The French companies made a rigorous investigation of the position of the canals . to satisfy themselves that the amount of the credits to be opened would suffice for their completion, and thus in sure the repayment of the advances, and no further calls will be required to carry to completion the present U ndertakings. Details of the state of progress are furnished of the several canals, and the plans sub- Initted prove of interest, as illustrating the extent a nd geographical bearings of these undertakings, and the important character of the districts they are intended to supply. The sum of £87,000 was taken to the Bank of E ngland yesterday. The senior partner of Messrs. R. Symonds and 'on, of Ingram-court, Fenchurch-street, having m ade a tour of the wine districts, reports the pro rTects as far as can be at present obtained. lle states that the vines in the Champagne districts are . 111 excellent condition. In Bordeaux the flowering 18 now taking place, and although a certain amount of damage occurred in the spring, yet appearances °4 the whole are favourable. In Burgundy hail st°rrns and long-continued rains have injured the vines, but they have improved, and in the end a fair av erage vintage may be obtained. In passing 'rough the South of France in May he found that severe frosts had caused great injury, but he con siders the damage is not to such an extent as has b „ e na represented. The vines on the Rhine and 'ioselle look healthy, but the vintage will be late. A.tlantie and Great Western Railway debentures l 'etrlain steady at 26 28, and the Consolidated Mort gage bonds at 22 23. Two O'CLOCK. According to Iteuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were G9f. 35c. Firm. More buoyancy and animation arc observable in t he market for the English Funds, and, indeed, for securities generally. Consols are favourably influ enced by the abundance of money, the arrivals of o ld, and the improvement of the temperature in fav our of the crops. Investors as well as speculators ha ve been inclined to effect purchases, and values been ascending in consequence. Foreign bonds ar e more sought for, and railway shares are higher, ' r ' nei pally on account of the favourable traffic receiptsz. of the lines traversing the manufacturing u at i striets.

This day Mr. Richards, the deputy coroner for East Middlesex, held an adjourned inquest at the Salisbury Arms Tavern, Eastfield-street, Lime house, into the circumstances attending the death of Agnes Oakes, aged 22 years, who was found dead, with her throat cut, in the front room of a house called Temperance Cottage, North-street, Lime house. The proceedings created the greatest inte rest, and crowds of people congregated outside the inquest room. Sarah Martin said that her dwelling is facing the front of the house where the occurrence took place. At about ten minutes to two o'clock on the morn ing of the 24th of July she was awoke by screams of " Murder," proceeding from Temperance Cot tage. Witness looked through the window, but could not see anything. She heard some words, and a female voice exclaim—" You old -- you are murdering me." She put the blind down and went to bed again, and without disturbing her husband. She was sure it was ten minutes to two. Directly after she returned to her bed the church clock struck two. William Dunn, a rivetter, said that he knew Wiggins, the accused man, and his late wife. lie lived opposite to them. On the morning of the 24th of July, at ten minutes to five o'clock, he was awoke by loud cries of " Murder " proceeding from the house No. 1, Temperance Cottages, opposite. Witness opened his bedroom window, and he saw Wiggins walking towards his house with his hand on his neck. Witness said to him " Jack, what is the matter ?" To which he replied, " She has cut my own throat and her own too." Witness dressed himself, and then raised an alarm. The inquest was proceeding when we went to press. MR. CHARLES KEAN.—A favourable change has taken place in the health of Mr. Charles Kean, who has been for some time past on a visit at Court House, near Taunton. He is suffering from a total prostration of the nervous system, brought on by overwork and excitement. The tenor Roger has returned to Paris from St. Petersburg. [ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Pills.—Remedy and Regimon.—The most serious subject on which man can meditate is the maintenance of good health in himself and in the dear ones around him. Whenever or wherever illness assails us, it always sends before it unmistakeable symp toms of its approach ; subdue those by Holloway's correc tive and purifying medicine, aided by a plain, simple diges tive diet, and the attack, deprived of its powerful allies within the body, passes harmlessly by. Pain, discomfort, and danger are alike averted, and when epidemics rage whole households are spared a mournful visitation. Dis ease is always occurring at all hours of the day, at all sea sons of the year; prudence therefore gives the warning to keep this remedy ready to remove instantly defective ac tions. [ADVERTISEMENT.] Consumption, and all nervous, bilious, stcmach and liver complaints in every stage are only aggravated and accelerated by drugs of every description, but perfectly oau ble by Du Barry's health -restoring Revaleuta Arabica, Food, as proved by thousands of cases which had been considered hopeless; such as indigestion (dyspepsia), cough, asthma, con sumption, habitual constipation, diarrhoea, all gastric derange ments, haemorrhoids, liver complaints, flatulency, nervousness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, diphtheria, catarrhs, colds, in fluenza, noises in the head and ears, rheumatism, gout, impu rities, eruptions, hysteria, neuralgia, irritability, sleeplessness, acidity, palpitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramps, spasms, nausea and sickness, even in pregnancy or at sea, sinking fits, bronchitis, scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach, and between the shoulders, &c. We quote a few.—The Pope's health restored by Du Harry's Food. Cure No. 68,413.—" Rome, July '2l, 186 G.—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful tit every meal. It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly." From the "Gazette du Midi." July 25. Cure No. 46,270. Mr. James Roberts, timber mer chant, of Frimley, Surrey, of thirty years' diseased lungs, spitting of blood, liver derangement, and partial deafness.— Cure No. 1,771. Lord Stuart de Decies, Lord Lieutenant of Waterford, of many years' dyspepsia.—No. 49,832. " Fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia, nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms, sickness and vomiting.—MariaJoly."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE — This Day. :MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY.—R. J. Siinmonds, a young man, in the employ of Messrs. Bickers and Son, dressing case makers, of Leice,ster-square, was brought before Mr. Arnold, by Sergeant Langley, of the detective department, charged with stealing some silver dressing-case fittings, the property of his employers. Mr. Henry Bickers, jun., said that on Tuesday last he went to a dressing case in the shop, and in doing so found it to be locked, a very unusual thing, as the dressing-cases were always left unlocked, so that the fittings might be more closely seen. On the dressing-case being subse quently opened eight out of eleven of the silver tops of the bottles were missing. He then spoke to the three shopmen iu that particular department, the prisoner being ono, telling them that it was a barefaced robbery, and that the matter must be investigated. Prisoner said lie would plead Guilty and save time. Mr. Arnold said lie muse bear a little more about it. Mr. Bickers said that in reply to what he said the pri soner remarked, " It's very bad. I can't think how people can do such things," and he suggested that no pawnbroker would take such things iu pledge. He afterwards said that a few days before he had noticed another shop - tan go to the till and take something out, and go out and have a chop (the person's name being Mellish); and that if Mel lish could do such a thing as that, no doubt ho had taken the silver fittings, and suggested that a police officer should be sent for. The prisoner appeared very anxious to fix the guilt on Mellish, and Mellish was put under notice to leave in consequence of what the pri soner had said. He (Mr. Idickers) afterwards placed the matter in the hands of the detective police. Some silver fittings wore produced, and Mr. Bickers identified them as his property, and said, in answer to Mr. Arnold, that he had lost a great deal of property at dif ferent times. In reply to the prisoner, Mr. Bickers said h© could not say ho had lost any property since the prisonor had been in his employ till the present time, but he had only been in his employ a few weeks. Ile had discharged a porter a few weeks ago for robbing at the prisoner's instigation. Mr. Thomas Parker, assistant to Mr. Debra°, pawn broker of the Strand, said that on Saturday night last the prisoner brought the silver fittings produced and offered them in pledge. Not feeling satisfied with the prisoner's statement respecting them ho referred him to the foreman and on the foreman questioning him ho said that his wife receive:l the articles as a wedding present. On the fore man asking the prisoner where the bottles and the case were, the prisoner replied, "Perhaps you think I stole the things ; give them to me back, and I will take them to Attenborough's." The prisoner spoke in a very plausible manner, and his style was so calculated to disarm suspi cion, that the foreman, although he would not allow him to have any advance on them, allowed him to hare a pair of trousers which he had previously pledged, the prisoner promising to attend on the following Mon day with the dressing-case and bottles. As the prisoner did not come according to appointment, ho (witness) re ferred to the " police list," and seeing the articles described communicated with the police. Sergeant Langley, of the detective police, said that on asking the prisoner whether he Lad any suspicion as to who committed the robbery, he said "I suspect Mellish." Last night ho took possession of the tops at Bow-street, and afterwards took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner had told him that if he watched Mellish the thing would be found out, and said that he had reasons to believe the things were sold at Clerkenwell. Mr. Arnold remanded the prisoner. THE I?EFOR3I BILL. PUBLIC MEETING THIS DAY AT GUILDHALL. A public meeting of the citizens of London was held this day iu the Guildhall for the purpose of petitioning the House of Commons to reject the amendments made in the Bill for Representation of the People in the House of Lords. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided, and amongst those present were Mr. Goschen, M.P., Mr. Locke, M.P., Mr. Thomson Ilankey, M.P., Mr. Russell Gurney, M.P., Mr. Crawford, M.P., Mr. Labouchere, M P., Alderman John Lawrence Alderman Hall, Alderman James Lawrence, the Sheriffs, &c., &c. The LORD MAYOR having formally opened the meeting, Mr. LABOUCHERE, M.P., came forward to move the first resolution, which was that thepetition which had been read to the meeting, and which was against the increase of copyhold and leasehold qualifications from £5 to 110, the use of voting papers, the partial disfranchisement of electors in the City of London and certain other boroughs, by neutralising their representation and depriving them of one of their votes, under the name of the " representation of minorities"and the requirement:of the payment of a county or borough rate in addition to the poor rate, be adopted and signed by the Lord Mayor on behalf of the meeting and transmitted to the members for the City of London for presentation. to the House of Commons. He challenged the proceedings that had taken place in the House of Lords as au invasion on the rights of the people, and said that their amendments were such that, if carried into effect, the whole bill, in his opinion, would become a perfectsham. (Cheers.) The triangular constituencies was a new-fangled proposition, which he looked upon as a perfect de lusion, and one which ho would not consent to upon any conditions. (Cheers.) The meeting had only to be in earnest and they would carry their point, which was the total rejection of the whole of the amendments which the Lords had made to the bill. (Cheers.) Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE seconded the resolu tion. He condemned the attempt that had been made to alter the lodger franchise, and congratulated the meeting on the non-success of the proceeding. He referred to the three-cornered system of voting, and said the representation of minorities meant, in plain English, the misrepresentation of majorities. (Loud cheers.) It seemed to him to be highly impolitic that there should be three members to represent thousands and tens of thousands, and one man representing none. (Loud cheers.) The system of adopting voting papers was also another most objectionable proposition, because, iu his opinion, it would put into the hands of the electoral agents the means of using the votes to suit their own political bias. The voter was to fill up his paper in the presence of a magistrate—(hisses)—and might either be his land lord or employer, and perhaps in addition the per sonal friend of one of the candidates. (Shame.) Such a system could bat lead to the worst results, and he hoped it would be rejected in such a manner as to prove the feeling of the people in general was strongly against it. (Cheers.) Mr. LOCKE, M.P., supported the resolution. He said he had not been able to attend as many public meetings as he could have wished, but that did not arise from any disposition on his part to treat the great question of Reform in any trivial way. It was occasioned by the incessant sitting of the House of Commons, in which for the last two or three months they had been engaged night and day discussing the principles of the bill. The measure, in his opinion, was now far from perfect, but it was the best under the circumstances that could be obtained, and, therefore, he accepted it. The complexion of the bill after it had passed the Lords was completely altered in many respects, and such was his estimation of the bill, as at pre sent amended, that he believed it would result in making matters even worse than under the old sys tem. (Cheers.) lie felt the bill to be effectual must remain as it left the House of Commons, and ho thought it only wanted a strong pull on the part of the people of London to settle the fate of the so called Lords' Amendments. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then put the resolution to the meeting, which was carried, amidst loud cheering. Mr. Crawford, M.P., Mr. Goschen, M.P., and several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, all condemning the amendments made to the bill in the House of Lords. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor. LIVERPOOL COTTON .211ARKE7—This Day. Market generally steady. Surats irregular. Sales probably 10,000 to 12,000 bales.

It was satisfactory to know that, with the exception of the qualification for the lodger franchise, the House of Lords had accepted the provisions of that house for the extension of the franchise. It was exceedingly satisfactory to know that, when the House of Lords became better acquainted with what had taken place in the House of Commons, they at once restored the qu alification to the figure it originally stood at, and suc h a proceeding showed, he thought, the greatest desire on the part of their lordships to act with unanimity in passing an act of such great importance. There were three amendments, however, which he would more particularly refer to, and the first was that made with respect to clause 5, which diminished the amount of the copyhold or leasehold franchise; and as their lordships were of opinion that the matter as settled by the Act of 1832 should not be departed from, her Majesty's Go vernment were of opinion that the house ought to accept the amendment. The next amendment that had been made in the other house was that their lord ships had ro introduced a clause which had been rejected in that house, viz., a clause as to the manner and mode in which the voter should exereise and register his franchise. The clause laid it down that no person should vote for more than two can didates. That clause was carried by an almost over whelming majority, and the Government felt that in con sideration of the almost unanimous voice of tho House of Lords that decision ought to be deferred to. (Hear, hoar, from the Government side of the house.) Although ho did not approve of the principle, yet in regarding the manner in which the bill had been discussed and carried, and her Majesty's Government acting iu the spirit of conciliation, thought it both prudent and proper to support the decision the House of Lords had arrived at. (" Hear, hear," from the Ministerial side of the house.) The third amendment related to a clause w hich had been o mitted by that house the bill when it was originally introduced by the Goys:ali ment—he meant the clause relating to voting papers. (Hear.) Ile was not about to enter into the merits or deme rits of such a proposition, it had been fully discussed in that house ou form er occasions, and doubtless would be so again; but he would say that if the amendment was adopted it would lead to a great enfranchisement, because, doubtless, there were a great many persons under the present system who never recorded their votes. (Hear. hear.) But it was said the propositiohean would loud tend to personation and corruption—(hear, r, and c h ee rs from the Opposition side of the house) - but it must be borne in mind that that objectionable state of th i ngs occurred at present. (Hoar, hear.) Under all the circumstances her Majesty's Government had come to the conclusion, in consideration of the conciliatory tone in which the House of Lords had dealt with the bill to recommend to that house the acceptance of Ministerialseeideof ofLortdhse. house.) c t H h h e e e e rsfr thereforeo m amendment t n h v e i e f d the house to enter at once i n to a conside ration of the amendment,and d t h e e l i b L e r e a g t i i s o l n a s t u r w e o e u n l d d t b h e e satisfactoryhopedthat ttoliebo country. (Hear, hea r, and cheers.) r th esu b i r t an o branches he their o f Mr. GLADSTONE congratulated the House that one formidable difficulty, viz., that relative to the alteration of the lodger franc hise had been got rid of --(hoar, hear)— and he readily bore his testimony to the courage and deci sion with which the Earl of Derby acted on the occa sion. However, ho thought the amendments made by the Lords wore of a reactionary nature, therefore the loss they said about the conciliatory spirit in which the bill had boon discussed in the other house the better. The house then proceeded to consider the first amend:. ment of the Lords in clause 3, the effect of which was to make the voters in the new boroughs pay the borough rate as well as the poor rate. After a short discussion, the house disagreed with their lordships' amendment. [LEFT SITTING.] BANK OF FRANOE. PARIS, August 8.

Among others, the moors of Mr. J. S. Stanhope, extending to between 7,000 and 8,000 acres, will be left untouched, and the same will be the case with regard to those adjoining of Mr. It C. Clarke, of Noblothorpo-ball, who goes into Scotland. The Bradfield Game Association have also agreed not to open the Bradfield Moors until the 12th September. At Board hill, the Strines, and on nearly all the grounds, very few birds are to be seen, and gamekeepers who have been out during the week report very few covies to be seen, but a good many dead birds, the disease and the tapeworm hav ing made great havoc. There will, therefore, be few guns out this season, and less bags made than for some years past. On nearly all the grounds there will not be many more young birds found than will be required for breeding for next year.

LN INCORRIGIBLE YOUNG THIEF.--Sarah Park, aged 15, was charged with stealing a cloak and other articles, the property of her mother and sister. Mr. Arnold asked the prosecutrix whether she intended to prosecute her daughter ? The mother replied yes; she was such a thief that no thing could be dono with her. She had only just come out of prison for robbing her, and had been in before. It having been ascertained that the prisoner was over the age to be sent to a reformatory, the case was proceeded with. Mrs. Park said she was the wife of Winto Park, of 120, Lillington-street, and on Thursday last she was washing and the prisoner left the house. She came home on the Friday morning, made a disturbance, and was admitted. A cloak and umbrella were then behind the door of her room. Between 6 and 7 she was gone, and the things too. She returned on Tuesday, and witness found her underneath the bed. Upon asking her what she had done with the things, she said she had lost the umbrella and had pawned the cloak, throwing down the ticket. Mr. Walter Scudarnore, pawnbroker, of Great Scuds more-street, Westminster, produced the cloak, pledged for 2s. on Monday. _ _ Mr. Arnoldasked the pris)ner what sho had done with the money. She replied, "Spent it." Mr. Arnold, after admonishing her, said he had no alter native but to send her to prison. The chaplain would be communicated with, with the view to gutting her to an institution where she would be reclaimed. Ho thou sen tenced her to three months hard labour. THAMES, ASSAULT ON A CUSTOM -HOUSE oFFICER AND RESCUE OF A PRISONER.—Franz Joseph, a very old man, John White, August Abraham, and Mary Kellar, natives of Germany, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting Thomas Smith, an examining officer of Customs, and res cuing a prisoner from his custody. Last night between the hours of nine and ten o'clock Mr. Smith proceeded to a public-house known as the Clockhouse in Rosemary-lane, Royal Mint-street, White chapel, with a warrant signed by Mr. Woolrych, of the Southwark police-court, for the arrest of George Kellar, the landlord, for causing to be imported 129 lbs. of foreign manufactured cigars. Ho was aceompanied by John Henry Briscoe, another officer, who went into the public-housa first to reconnoitre, and saw George Kellar there. He then called in Smith, who said to the landlord, "I want you. I have a warrant from a magistrate for your apprehension." Kellar sail, "I shall not go without my hat and boots." Smith said, "You can have your hat and boots, but let your wife and servant get them for you, for I can't let you go." At that time only Smith, Briscoe, and Kellar were present in an inner room. Kellar called to some in the German language, and all the prison ers, except Joseph, came in and made an attack on Smith, who was dragged into an adjoining room, ill-used, his clothes torn, and the prisoner George Kellar rescued from him. While this was going on Briscoe was absent in search of a police constable. Ho returned with one, and Smith charged the four prisoners, and, rescuing his pri soner. Smith gave a long detail of the violence offered by the prisoners, their assault on him, and their rescue. The old man who gave the name of Joseph is the fatlier of the German who was rescued, and his real name is Kellar. Mr. Paget said the old man gave his right name last night, and perhaps Franz Joseph were his Christian names. A solicitor's clerk for the prisoners cross-examined the witnesses, and elicited that since the 14th of June, when the alleged offence was committed, Kellar, the smuggler, had been to the custom-house several times. Kellar was present when the offence was committed, but he was not arrested. The prisoners were remanded. MARKET/.---This day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Ile thought church rates wou ld th a t it was pos sible that a compromise might be betwee n the opposing parties, meantime se but in the entere d into • b e lieved that this bill would strengthen ty .o the a uthori • f the Church, and do away with much o f the hostility and animosity which now ex- isted against cherchinen. It was most desirable that some settlement and co nclusion on this subject should be co me to as soon as possible. Lord DELAMERE moved that this bill be read a second time that day three months. He said that it would be found that where there was a majority in a parish in favour of church rates the rate was passed, but when there was a minority it was not. Now, by this bill they wore proposing, to sweep away the only law which pro tected the church with regard to church rates, and they wore told that because the church had done so much they must now do away with the very inadequate law which belonged to it and protected it. lie then animadverted upon the liberties at present en joyed by the Dissenters, and although he did not deny that the Church of England was °pea to every ono, yet if they liked to take advantage of it they ought not object to pay fur it. If Quakers were to pay for ships of war andother warlike implements, why should not Dis senters pay towards the Established Church. If total abo lition passes through both houses, it would be impossible to maintain the present system in Scotland. Personally ho would give the greatest amount of conscientious liberty to every denomination of roligiouists ; but he could not do otherwise than protest against a measure which was calculated to depreciate the position of churchmen, and quoted the words of Mr. Gladstone as to the inadvisability of carrying out what the bill proposed. He finally urged upon them the amendment which he had just proposed. Lord ST. LEONARDS objected to the bill on the ground that it was preposterous to take away the legal right which the Church had to levy a church-rate. When afterwards it was collected it would only be a gift or a dole which was given in exchange for the abolishing of a legal right. (LEFT SPEAKING.) I
