MONEY MARKET A ND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENOR, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand in the general discount market con tinues very moderate, and the business transacted has led to no change in quotations, which still re main at 11 for first-class short-dated paper. • Gold to the amount of £50,000 was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The steamer La!Place, from the Brazils, has arrived with £95,168 in specie ; and the Galileo, belonging to the same line, has brought £52,272. The report of the directors presented at the meet ing held to-day of the Mediterranean Extension Telegraph Company stated that the revenue and expenditure of the past half-year were about equal to those of the preceding half-year. The Corfu cable had been successfully repaired, at a cost of £695, and both lines are now in excellent order. The interruption continued from the 9th of De cember till the 4th of May, owing to which a lapse of 56 days of the Government Guarantee occurred. The directors recommended the usual divi dend of eight shillings per share, less income-tax, on preference shares, equal to 8 per cent. per an num, and three shillings per share, free of income tax, equal to 3 per cent. per annum on the ordinary shares, such dividends to be paid as soon as the money shall be received from the other telegraph administrations, and the balance carried to the re serve fund. At the meeting of the City of London Brewery Company (Limited) an ad interim dividend of 6 per cent. was declared. At the meeting held to-day of the East London Railway Company the directors' report entered Lilly into the state and progress of the works, which, though well advanced, have not been so rapid as could be desired. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 26 28 ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds have risen I, to 22} 23. At the meeting held to-day of the Electric and International Telegraph Company the report stated that the receipts for the half year slightly exceed those of the corresponding period of last year, being £167,461, and the net balance £68,995. The directors, therefore, had much pleasure in recom mending a dividend of 5 per cent., free of ilicome tax, upon the stock of the company, and a dividend at the same rate, viz., 2s. 6d. per share upon the new £lO shares of the company, over a period of five months from the Ist February, the date at which the first call of £3 was made. After pay ment of this dividend there is a surplus of £14,626, out of which the directors recommended a sum of £lO,OOO should be added to the trust fund, leaving the balance to be carried forward. The trust fund Will then amount to £105,174. Two o'CLocK. According to Reuter's telegram from Par is to day, the French Rentes were 691. 25c. Firm. Rather animated. Continuous rain and cold, at a period when Sunshine and warmth are considered to be necessary for harvest prospects, have had some further effect upon the speculative account in ConsoLs at the Stock Exchange. Values, however, have only suffered by remaining unaltered when an advance might have been reasonably anticipated. The quiet manner in which the session is passing to its close, the abundance of money, the quietude of Continental politics, and the certainty of enor mous supplies of foreign grain to compensate at low prices for any deficiency of our own crops, all tend to support quotations in defiance of the determined efforts of speculators for a decline.

Sir.--With a view of making the public aware, at the earliest period practicable, of the dividend likely to be declared by this company at the ensuing gene ral meeting, I am authorised to state that the ac counts, though not yet finally audited, or approved by the board of directors, appear to admit of a divi dend for the past half-year, at the rate of five and one-quarter (51) per cent. per annum. I am, sir, your obedient servant, STEPHEN REAP, Secretary. METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COMPANY. The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held this morning at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon-street, Mr. Parsons in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that they bad all had the report circulated amongst them, and therefore he would move that the seal of the company be attached to the new shares, and also that the report be adopted. Ihey were in a peculiar position. Many causes which resulted in the depression of receipts and traffic were not incident to them. Th ey were merely a steam omnibus company, if he might use the expression, and their traffic was clearly increasing. They as a company did not enter into engagements with other companies which were antagonistic to some of their neighbours. In policy, in finance, and in traffic they were excep tional to any other company, and in their agree ment with the Midland Railway there were no points which, had it been necessary, they would not have granted to tbe Great Northern, or any other line. He bad perhaps at the last meet ing overlooked some circumstances which would affect the amount of receipts on the line, such as the nature of the weather ; when it was fine a great number of ladies used the line, but when it was wet their passengers fell off. He might have been in some difficulty in the matter had it not been for the economy exercised by the officials employed by the company, and be must give them great credit for their exertions. The chairman then went into a statement of the particular financial accounts in the report, and congratulatei the shareholders on the arrangements which had enabled the com pany to pay 6 or 7 per cent. He alluded to a very singular accident which had occurred at Farringdon-street Station. He did not know whether they understood the arrangement on that line. It was this—that one station should signal that the line was clear before a train was allowed to depart from an adjoining station. Owing, however, to the dense fog, a collision did take place, and they lost £1,750 by it. He trusted .that it would not occur again. They now proposed to pay an amount of 5 per cent. on the preference stock, and 7 per cent. on the conso lidated. Bat, leaving finance matters, he would proceed to the undertakings of the railway, such as the Hammersmith Extension, and the Metropolitan and St. John's Wood Railway. Meeting still proceeding. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET—This Day. Market opens steadily at yesterday's rates. Sales probably 10,000 or 12,000 bales. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Parts Is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.17 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Ls tia. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appettrs that gold is at about the same price in Paris and London. rhe course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 110 per cent. At this rate there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. THE REFORM BlLL.—Yesterday a requisition to the Lord Mayor to convene a public meeting of the citizens of London to petition Parliament against the Lords' Amendments of the Reform Bill was in course of signa ture. The movement has been sat on foot by the Liberal Registration Association in the city. A GALLANT Act—A few days ago the billyboy Sutcliffe, of Harwich, was stranded about a mile to the southward of Cromer, ou the Norfolk coast, in a north east gale and a very heavy sea which had suddenly sprung up. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat In stitution on that station was in a dismantled state at the time, as she was in course of being painted, and con sequently some delay occurred before she was fit to be launched. Meanwhile, nearly all the fishermen and boatmen of the place had gone to the scene of the wreck, with tho view of rendering assistance in saving the stew by means of the rocket apparatus or otherwise, and when the lifeboat was ready to be launched it was discovered that there was not a sufficient number of boatmen to man her, and some difficulty was therefore experienced in forming a crew. However, fore most amongst those who volunteered to go off in the life boat was the Hon. Auboron Herbert, brother of Lord Carnarvon. As soon as the boat was launched she was struck by a heavy sea, which broke four of her oars, and drove her nearly broadside on to the beach; some of the crow thereupon jumped out, squared the boat, and succeeded in getting her clear of the broken water. After a long pull through a very heavy sea the lifeboat arrived abreast of the wreck, but by that time the crow had been saved by rocket apparatus. The gallant services of Mr. Herbert are to be brought under the notice of the National Lifeboat Institution at its next meeting. During the month ending the 30th of June last France and the Channel Islands exported to England, by way of Southampton, nearly 20,000,000 eggs, 14,000 bushels of fruit, 4,800 tons of potatoes, and 1,700 tons of butter. CITY RENTALS.—The City Press states that during the last ten years the annual rental of the City pro perty has increased 273 per cent., or a million and a half sterling. The houses in 1811 were worth £32 per house annual value ; they are now worth £137. They were worth, to capitalise them at 2.3 years' purchase, in 1811, £14,131,075; they are now worth, by the same process .£52,784,375, equal to the total revenue of Great Britain only a few years since, and equal to five-sixths of the pre sent revenue.

STABBING BY A FRENCIIMAN.—Iiiransi Joseph Girand, a Frenchman, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with cutting and wounding a man named M'Cormack, living in Stacey-street, in the side with a knife, and also with assaulting Eliza M'Cormack. Mr. Albert attended to interpret. From the evidence it appeared that Mrs. M'Cormack was going home when the prisoner caught hold of her in an offensive way. Mrs. M‘Gornack called to her husband, who was walking in advance of her, and on his coming up the prisoner stabbed him in the side. The prisoner was then given into custody. Mr. Edward Godfrey, of Southampton-street, Strand, who was called to attend the injured man, stated that he had received an incised wound. • William Connell, 153 F, said prisoner was given into his custody in Monmouth-court, and on telling him the charge, he appeared not to understand him. The prisoner was in his houso at the time, and on a table ho found a knife (produced.) A boy named Charles Townsend, of No. 5, Monmouth court, proved seeing the prisoner stab 3.L'Ocrm . tek with something bright in his baud, and run away. In answer to the Court, the witness said that when the prisoner rau away he dropped the handle of the knife, and he picked it up and afterwards gave it to the prisoner at is own door. The evidence having been read over by Mr. Albert, A GANG OF FEMALE THIEVES CONVICTED.—Three ill favoured, crafty-looking women, named Emma Sage, aged 31 years, Hannah Dublin, 32, and Martha Jones, 40, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being in White chapel for a felonious purpose, and with attempting to pick pockets. The prisoners, who had spent a good deal of their time in prison, appeared older than they represented themselves to be, and are the greatest pests that over infested the me tropolis. They have frequented the markets on Saturday night and other busy seasons and robbed the poor; have loitered about other thoroughfares and robbed any one of whom they could make an easy prey. A few days since, George Brown, a police-constable, No. 181 H, saw the pri soners in High-street, Whitechapel, putting their hands into the pockets of respectable females, and attempting to rob them. He followed them eastward of the church, and they assailed an old lady, twisted her round, and put their bands in her pockets. Brown interposed, got between the lady assailed and the prisoners, and took the three offenders into custody. The old lady had not lost anything, Police-constable Whiting Marchant, No. 191 P, said that Dublin was convicted in the name of Martin, on the 23d of December, 1863, and sentenced to six years' penal servi tude, which was afterwards commuted, and she was now a ticket-of-leave convict. Previous to that conviction by a jury there had been numerous summary convictions against her by magistrates in the City and the metropolis. She was one of the most clover thieves in the metropolis. Two men she had lived with had been convicted of felony, and were now undergoing penal servitude. Emma Sage had been in custody for attempting to pick pockets, and sen tenced to 21 days' imprisonment. There had been other convictions against her. Robert Adams, a City police-sergeant, said he knew Emma Sage well. She had been convicted in the City for picking pockets. John Walker, police -sergeant, No. 30 M, said all the prisoners had been living in one house. They were clever shoplifters, and be had seen them prowling about the Borough of Southwark. They had passed under the assumed names of Clarke, Glover, and Summers. Last Saturday week they robbed a gentleman in a publichouse in Southwark. They restored the money which they took from him and were liberated. Mr. Paget had no doubt the prisoners were incorrigible and dangerous thieves, and ho convicted them as rogues and vagabonds going about with intent to commit felony, and sentenced them to be imprisoned for three months and kept to hard labour. OVERBOARD HE, WENT.—Thomas James Daniels, a dock labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk and incapable. Police Sergeant Ripp, No. 5. said he was informed that a man had fallen over the canal bridge, Mile-End-road, last night. He found the re isoner on the towing path quite insensible. He convoyed him to the house of a sur geon, who said the man was much hurt, and advised him to take him to the London Hospital. He took tho prisoner there in a cab, and ho was placed under medical treatment. Mr. Paget—Did the prisoner fall over the wall of the bridge. Ripp—He did sir, and fell on the towing path. He was terribly shaken. He was very drunk, and when he re covered he called out, " Overboard ho went." Mr. Paget—How high is the wall ? Ripp About the height of this witness box, sir (3ift.). Mr. Paget—Perhaps it is fortunate ho did not fall into the canal. If he had done so ho would have been drowned. Ho has been punished enough and ho is discharged. MARKETS.---This day. EPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BRIGHTON RACES-TUESDAY. A bad commencement for the second part of the Sussex 'ortnight. Torrents of rain and half a gale of wind is not the state of affairs one would choose for that elevated plateau on which Brighton Races are held, and the weather was the fertile and only theme of conversation this morn ing at the Ship and the Grand Hotel. But at the turn of the e., about 2 o'clock—it held up, and the after noon turned out tolerably fine. The Bristol Plate used to boast a better entry and field than it did to-day, there being only five runners, and a great turn up for the fielders in the victory of King's Cross over the favourite Redcap, on whom they laid 5 to 2. The Marquis of Hastings's horse seemed winning in a canter as they came up the hill, but stopped near home, when col lared by King's Cross. Thera was another unexpected result in Trocadero (who ran well here last year) beating Van Amburgh in the Biennial. The latter look 3d much better than he did at Goodwood last week, but went rather stiffly, and could not act up the hill. There was a good finish between Patti and Northern Star in the Rothschild Stakes, and in the Brighton, the great event of theday, the two equal favourites finished firet and second, Jezabernet improving on her Goodwood Stakes rur ning, and the weight telling on the Amanda colt. It was a bad day for favourites, for Banditto, aglinst whom they laid 6 to 5 in the Railway Stakes, succumbed under the weight and seemed unable to get up the hill ; and a great performance of Confederate's in the South down Stakes, where ho gave Reindeer 111 b and won easily by a length and a half, upset the heavily-backed Lady Barbara. T ho attendance was pretty good, considering the weather. The Bristol Plate of 50 sovs, for 2-yr-olds and upwards. Weight for age, with maiden and selling allowances. Mr Graham's King's Cross, 3 yrs, Bst 21b (.£100) (Heartfield) 1 Marquis of Hastings's Redcap, 6 yrs, 9st 71b (.£100) (Fordham) 2 Mr T. Hughes's Ambitious, 3 yrs, Bst 51b (X 100) (Prior) 3 Jasmine and Nightwatch also ran. Betting-5 to 2on Redcap, 7to 1 agst Jasmine, and 10 to 1 agst any other. Nightwatch was the first away, and came on slightly in advance of Redcap, the latter having King's Cross on his right, close up with whom came Ambitious and Jasmine. They ran thus to the turn, where the favourite took a slight lead, which he retained into the bottom. Here Nightwatch dropped back, and King's Cross then joined the Danebury nag, the pair racing together to the com mencement of the enclosure, where Redcap was in difficul ties, which let up Mr. Graham's colt, who won a close race by a neck; Redcap defeating Ambitious by two lengths for second. Jasmino was a bad fourth. The winner was sold to the Marquis of Hastings for 200 guineas, who also claimed Jasmine. The Fifteenth Brighton Biennial Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 100 added, for three year olds, colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 71b ; the winner of a stake value 200 sovs 31b extra for every such winning up to 91b extra ; the second to receive 50 sovs out of the stakes; one mile: 17 subs. Count F. de Lagrange's Trocadero, by Monarque, 9st 21b (inc. 61b extra) (Hibberd) 1 Mr. Fleming's Van Amburgh, 9st 51b (inc. 91b extra) (T. French) 2 Betting-5 to 2on Trocadero, who made play through out, and won very cleverly by three parts of a length. The Rothschild Stakes of 5 sovs each, 2 ft, with 50 added, for two year olds; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 71b. Half a mile. Mr. Biggs's Patti (late Queen of the West), by King of Trumps, Bst 71b (Fordbam) 1 Mr. Hodgtnan's Northern Star, Bst 101 b (Quince) 2 Duke of Newcastle's Eau de Vie, Bst 101 b (Daley) 3 The following also ran :—Chic, Pero, Peace, The Thorn, Brenda, St. Valentine, Cymbal, Adjutant, Rutty, Cock of the Walk, Thorncroft, Deformity, Tightfit filly, Peggotty, and Judy Machreo. Betting-5 to 1 agst Chic, 6to 1 each agst Patti, Eau de Vie, and Cock of the Walk, 8 to 1 agst Brenda, 10 to 1 agst Tightfit filly, 12 to 1 agst Peace, 100 to 8 each agst Retty and Northern Star, 100 to 7 agst St. Valentine, 20 to 1 each agst Pero and Judy Machree, and 25 to 1 agst The Thorn. A. long delay at the post was occasioned by the restiff ness of Northern Star and Cock of the Walk, who re peatedly broke away. At last they were despatched upon equitable terms, but immediately after Eau de Vie, on the left, was seen slightly in advance of Retty, next the rails, the pair being followed in the centre by Patti, Northern Star, Brenda, and Chic in close company ; the others, headed by Judy Machree, Peace, and Pero, lying close in their track to the bend into the straight. Here Eau de Vie gave way to Betty, and at the same time Judy Machreo moved to the front, but in so doing something struck into her and broke her leg. Lord Westmoreland's colt held his lead undisputed into the bottom, where he declined, and Northern Star then came on with a slight lead of Patti and Eau de Vie, who came on together to the Stand, when Fordham made his effort, headed Mr. Hodgman's colt in the next half-dozen strides from home, and won a fine race by a head. Eau de Vie was beaten three lengths for se cond; Adjutant was a bad fourth, Betty fifth, Brenda sixth, and Chic next. The others were pulling up, widely separated, the last being Thorncroft. The Blighton Stakes of 15 sous each, 10ft, and 5 only if declared, with 200 added. The winner of any handicap after July 31, at 4.30 p.m. 51b extra, of any other race Bib extra; second to receive 5C sous. 1/ miles. 31 subs. Captain Hawkesley's Knight Errant, by Knight of St, Patrick, 3 yrs, Est 12Ib (Butler) 1 Count Battliyany's Cheltenham, 3 yrs, 7st ...(11. Covey) 2 Mr. Johnstoae's Mandrake, 3 yrs, 6st 111 b ...(Cameron) 3 The following also ran :—Pintail, Amanda colt, Jezabel, Vigorous, Vixen colt, Glengarnoch, and New Guinea. Betting-5 to 1 each Cheltenham and Knight Errant., 6 to 1 each agst the Amanda colt and Jezabol, 100 to 15 each agst Mandrake and Vigorous, and 10 to 1 agst Pintail. Vigorous overpulling, Quince was the first away, and came past the stand a length or so in advance of New Guinea, Jezabel, the Amanda colt, and Knight Errant, Cheltenham, Pintail, and the Vixen colt acting as whip pers-in. When fairly in the bottom Vigorous was pulled back, and New Guinea showed the way round the bend, waited upon by Jezabel, Knight Errant, the Amanda colt, and Mandrake, the lot closing up as they proceeded up the hill. When fairly round the far turn by the mile-post the leader was disposed-of, and was successively headed by Jezabel, the Amanda colt, Knight Errant, and Pintail, Cheltenham shortly after joining the leader, who ran in company to the T.Y.C. post. Hero Jezabel was beaten, and her place was taken by the Amanda colt, but when fairly in the bottom he was in difficulties and resigned his prominent position to Knight Errant, the pair being closely pressed by Cheltenham on his right and Mandrake next the rails. Halfway up the hill (two distances from home) Mr. Proctor's colt was hopelessly beaten, and the race was then left with Knight Errant, Cheltenham, and Mandrake.

FRENCH EXPEDITION TO THE POLAR SEA.—Fifty distinguished Frenchmen have sanctioned an enterprise for the discovery of the North Polo. M. Gustave Lam bert, formerly a pupil at tho Polytechnic, now in the hydrographic department, proposes to reach the open Polar sea and the Pole itself by a route never before tried. The project has well been received, and a subscription has been opened. As soon as 600,000 f. are obtained the enterprise will bo carried out. Among the 50 names appended to the announcement are those of Elio de Beaumont, Chasseloup Laubat, Michel Chevallier, Drouyn de Lhuys, Guizot, Emile de Girardin, Do Quatrefages, Leonco de Lavergne, Leo's Say, Alfred Maury, and Milne Edwards. The pre sident of the executive committee is M. Chasseloup Lau bat. The Emperor has given his full approval to this spirited project, MARK LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day, both coastwise and by rail, the arrivals of English wheat have been very limited, but in fair average condition. Tho attendance of millers was rather limited; nevertheless, with a fair - demand for both red and white qualities, Monday's currencies were supported. Fears were entertained lest the unfavourable weather should prove injurious to the crops, and this cir cumstance gave additional firmness to the trade. The supply of foreign was moderately extensive, but the demand ruled heavy on about previous terms. The im ports to date amount to over 9,000 quarters. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request at our last quotations. No English barley was on offer, and the show of foreign samples was very limited. In all sales effected extreme rates were obtained. The malt trade continues steady, and the quotations remain without alteration. Oats were in good supply and sluggish request on pre vious terms.

GRANTLEY BERKE LEY.—On the occasion of the West Gloucestershire election the llon. Grantloy Berkeley, who sided with the Duke of Beaufort's interest against that of his own family, was grievously pelted with eggs and other unpleasant missiles. Mr. Berkeley has in consequence issued a handbill, in which he argues that as the eggs addressed to him were fresh, they were probably supplied by some person in the posilon of a gentleman (a rough would, in Mr. Berkeley's opinion, have used rotten eggs), and, if so, Mr. Berkeley proclaims that he wishes to fight a duel with the offender, either at Chalk Failn or op Boulogne sands, "to make his body responsible either on this or the other side of the water, if he dares to defend himself against the stigma of cowardice." This is very chivalrous, but we should have thought that the most certain arrangement for not fighting a duel would be the circulat i o n of a handbill announcing that you are go i n g to fight one. The Hon. Grantl e y Berkeley, however, knows best the course dictated to him by the fresh eggs of the West Gloucestershire election and the code of honour.—Pall Mall Gazette. _ _ _ rADVERTISEMENT. I I —Holloway's Ointment an d Pill s .— Healing, not harmfu .--No application has mot with the same universal approbation for curing all external ailments as that which this uguent Las received. Skin soros, deep ulcers, fetid discharges, burns, blistered surfaces, and many similar affections, are at once soothed, and put on the road to soundness by Holloway's Ointment. With this ointment and his pills the wealthy may save themselves much suf fering, and the poor may help themselves to health, since these medicaments aro reasonable in price, and can be pur chased in every hamlet. They have effected cures of stir joints, swelled legs, and ulcerated limbs, and opened out the prospects of a happy future after every hope of re covery had been given up. 190 100 100 1( 100 100 , SSES, 100 100 100 all 100 100 90k} 9t# 901 95 4i 51 95 i 1101 1 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS-THIS DAT. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. UNIFORMITY ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. FAWCETT moved the third reading of this hi , but the motion was opposed by Mr. C. Beutinck. Tho houso dividod, when there appeared — For the third reading Against it 4l Majority The bill was consequently lost. LIBEL BILL. Sir C. O'LOGIILEN moved the third reading of this Lill. Mr. AYIZTON opposed the motion, on the ground that the bill would provedetrimental to the liberty of the press. The elf mt of the bill would be to make 1 ersons more amenable to punishment for spoken slander than at present, and that a person who printed the statement should bo etempt from punishment—a proposition he considered altogether unjust. The bill in his opinion deprived the person libelled of all protection, because all that was necessary to absolve the printer from liability was that the report be accurate. It was said the person injured would have the opportunity of writing an explana tion, which would be published in the same newspaper that printed the libel, provided he (lid not involve other parties. That, he contended, was altogether impossible; and, as for proceeding against the speaker, it was quite open for a person to give a fictitious name, and thus the unfortunate person who had been the subject of the slan derous attacks would be effectually prevented from disco vering his real name and address. He contended that another fault in the bill was that it exempted one class of the community from the law of the land, because it prevented a person libelled proceeding against a newspaper proprietor without ho could find two responsible persons who would become sureties for the costs of the action. The bill seemed as if it had been drawn out by newspaper pro prietors respectively for their own protection, without the slightest regard to the rights of the public in general. The result of the bill would be to put a bad newspaper on the same footing as oue conducted with care and ability, and therefore ho hoped the house would reject the bill. (LEFT SITTING.)
