• MONEY RIARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCF, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Ia the di scoun t mar k e t t o -day the inquiries are slightly more active, and a little extra animation is likely to be imparted by the settlement of the ac count in Consols. The sum of £19,000 in gold was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The Java, from America, has brought about £4,450 in specie. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending the 4th Sept, gives the following re sults when compared with the previous week : Public deposits £7,673,107 Increase £322,889 Other dep os it s 18,866,324 Decrease 3,806 Rest ... 4,658,068 Increase 283,294 On the other side of the account : Government securities £12,845,272 •.. Increase 32,899 Other securities 17,456,518 Increase 479,695 Notes unemployed 13,796,170 Increase 164,585 The amount of notes in circulation is £24,062,940, being an increase of £369,190 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £24,072,282, showing an increase of £497,556 when compared with the preceding return. Subjoined is a comparison of the present position of the Bank of England and the price of Consols With the corresponding week of last year : Same wee At present. last week 'lank 'lank bullion ••• m £24,072,282 “. £16,195,212 Notes in reserve... 15,009,342 ... 6,973,967 Notes in circulation ... 24,062,940 24,221,245 Rate of discount 2 per cent. 5 per cent. Price of Consols 944 ••• 89/ The return of the Bank of France for the past week shows the following alterations compared with the previous account :—The cash has increased £503,000, the notes £160,000, the advances £24,000, the current accounts £20,000, and the Treasury balance £13,320, while the bills discounted have increased £96,000. During the last few days business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce markets has been rather quiet, but the few passing transactions have in most instances been at full rates. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben tures are steady at 24 26, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 22 23. With regard to the corn market at Birmingham, Mr. W. C. B. Cane states as follows :—Up to Saturday evening weather in this district continued fine ; at night we had heavy rain ; Sunday and Monday it was fine, Monday night very heavy rain, with thunder, which cleared off about nine a.m. Tuesday, at half-past three p.m., we bad a tre mendous storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, which did considerable damage; Wednesday it was fine, but more rain at night ; to-day fine. With the heavy rains above alluded to it is not surprising that markets have hardened, ani that millers have shown some anxiety to increase their small stocks of wheat, as a very considerable portion of the new crop in this neighbourhood previously intended for the machine and the mill, direct from the field, 'mist remain for some weeks to become in a tit st ate for g r i n di ng . I h o p e b e f ore an oth e r week to have ga i ne d more re li a bl e i n f orma ti on as t o t he yiad, which at present is far from satisfactory. At this day's market there was a good supply of si wheat for the season, and with an improved de inand an advance of ls. to 2s. per qr. was obtained O n all kinds, resulting in a very fair business.

A vigorous movement is about to be made on the part of the licensed victuallers of the metropolis in order to exemplify th e manner i n w hich they loo k upon the syste m th a t h as o f l a t e sprung U P amongst the grocers of retailing not only wine, but spirits. The act passed by Mr. Gladstone in 1860 no doubt gave the grocers the power of selling wine, but we always looked upon such a provision as one directly and most seriously interfering with the rights of the licensed victuallers, a large and important b od y of traders, and, at the same time, the most hi g hl y taxed class of her Majesty's subjects. It was not to be expected that so influential a body would allow their trade to be so seriously interfered with with out taking some measure of self-defence, and accordingly it has been determined to form a " Licensed Victuallers' Tea Association," the object of which is to supply their customers and the public generally with tea of the finest quality at a considerably lower price than is now charged by the grocers for an inferior article. The tea will come into the possession of the executive manage ment of the association direct, and thus many inter mediate profits being avoided the retailers of the article will be enabled successfully to enter into a competition which they would have willingly avoided, but which the questionable policy of the grocers has rendered a positive necessity. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. —This Day. (By Telegraph.) FALMOUTH, Sept. 6. Arrived—The Diamond Company's steamer United Service, Wilson, Commander, from Cape of Good Hope, having on freight 2,400 bales of wool, 40 passengers (six landed here), 10 bags mails, also landed.

Viscount Jocelyn has been making a tour in Germany. His lordship was at Ischia when the last letters wore received in town. The noble viscount may be ex pected home the week after next. PROPOSED DINNER TO MR. DISRAELL—Wo are glad to hear that a movement is in progress to entertain the Chancellor of the Exchequer at a public dinner in Edinburgh towards the end of October. The proposal, we believe, moots with very general support throughout the country. —Edinburgh courant. THE ESCAPE OF A K.C.B. FROM DROWNING.— Mr. Thomas Dixon, boat builder of Exmouth, was on Wednesday presented by Lady Whitlock with a handsome silver goblet as a mark of her thankfulness for the valuable services rendered by him on Monday in rescuing Sir G.

Rymer was there that day, and the duplicates of part of the property were subsequently sent by him to the prosecutor in an impudent letter stating that when he (prosecutor) had overhauled his things he had missed these tickets. Rymer, when apprehended, was found wearing one of the articles of the stolen jewellery, and was possessed of others. As against Barker, it was alleged that he was found in Rymer's room, where part of the stolen property was discovered ; that he had ad mitted pawning a gold watch, and that it could be shown he was found dealing with other parts of the stolen property. Barker, who said that his family was respectable, denied that he had admitted pawning the watch, or that he had had any knowledge of the robbery, or knew anything about the property. The prisoners were remanded, bail in £lOO to be accepted for Barker. Atlantic Telegraph Company. MEETING THIS DAY. An extraordinary general meeting of the share holders of the Atlantic Telegraph Company was held this morning, at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street ; Sir C. M. Lampson in the chair. The Secretary having read the report, which has already appeared in The Sun, The CIIAIR3IAN said that he should have to address the meeting through the illness of their chairman. That gentleman evinced great interest in the undertaking, and he wassorry that he was absent. It would be necessary to call them together again in Oct. or Nov., and, therefore, he should be as brief as possible. lie would direct their attention to the financial sheet. They would find that if it had not been that they had to bear two accidents to the cable of 18GG, both it was believed the result of crushing by an iceberg, their receipts would have been larger. These, however, he did not think were likely to occur again. The next point he would allude to was the reduction of the tariff, but he did not think, however impatient the public were for this reduction, they would begrudge the amount of £24,000 put aside by the dues. They had entered into negotiations with the Anglo-Ameri can directors for the purpose of a lowering of the tariff, and on the 15th of August the Atlantic Telegraph Company wrote to the Anglo-American Company setting forth the proposed amount of reduction, but these concessions were negatived by the Anglo-American Company. The chairman then called upon the secretary to read the corres pondence on the subject, which was very volu minous. The CHAIRMAN then resumed, and said that the proposal of the directors of this company was almost in accordance with the opinion of Mr. Seward, the chairman of the Anglo-American oue. He wished that they should send a message for £5. They had, it would be remembered, first charged £2O, and had reduced that to £lO. it was wished to send as cheaply as possible all messages, and the communications of the press at half price. It was proposed by the Anglo-American that 7s. 61. should be deducted per word, which would bring down a message to £2 10s. This he thought the share holders of that company would not allow, and he did not consider that it would suit them. They must reduce the price, in his opinion, gradually. The shareholders only now received a small pittance, and they must be very cautious how they proceeded, but nevertheless he trusted that some arrangement might be come to which would be advantageous to both companies. Ile would remind them that they had had only one year's experience with regard to the receipts, and if they glanced at the financial statement they would find that there had been great fluctuation. lie would urge upon them that, under such circumstances, it would be very unwise to accept this proposition of 7s. 6d., and he was quite sure that it would not enable the Anglo-American to pay 5 per cent. lie trusted that on the recovery of the chairman the matter might be adjusted. One thing more he had to tell them, and that was with regard to au Act of Parliament which they had obtained, and which enabled them to borrow as much capital as they might require. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report, and that 4 per cent. dividend be paid on the 8 per Cent. Con solidated Preference Stock. A SHAREHOLDER said thatif he understood rightly, the Atlantic Company thought the reduction of the tariff too much on the part of the Anglo-American. The CHAIRMAN said they would reduce it 75., whereas the Anglo-American wished to lower the tariff 7s. 6d. Their own company wished to send no message under five guineas. The report was then seconded, and carried unanimously. After a vote of thanks to the chairman, the moet ing terminated. MARKETS. 7 -This day. MARK LANE. Scarcely any old English wheat was on sale here to-day, and the supply of new was only moderate. 0 wing chiefly to tho changeable state of the weather the demand for both red and white qualities ruled steady, at prices fully equal to Monday. The imports of foreign wheat having exceeded 25,000 quarters, the show of samples was good, and sales pro gressed slowly, at previous rates. There was a slight improvement in the inquiry for floating cargoes of grain, on former terms. The few samples of barley brought forward wore dis posed of at very full prices. _ Malt was very dull, and previous rates wore barely sup ported. . . . Oats were in fair request at full quotations. The show of foreign was good. Both beans and peas were quite as dear as on Monday. The flour trade was inactive at late rates. Cakes and seeds were a slow inquiry. ARRIVALS TIIIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley.

THE TOPIC OF THE DAY. —John Reid, a respect able-looking man, who described himself as a linen-draper, was charged with assaulting Henry Maunder, one of the porters at the Gower-street Station of the Metropolitan Railway. The c‘nnplainant stated that about a quarter past 6 o'clock last evening he was on duty at the station when the prisoner came on the platform with some friends, sat down upon a bench, and began coughing violently. It was not like a per son coughing naturally, but a forced and ludicrous coughing, evidently intended to give annoyance. When remonstrated with by his own friends he said "he could not bear the atmosphere"—(a laugh)— and continued coughing so loudly tLat he might have been heard in the street. Witness told him he really must desist, as he was creating a disturbance at the station. The prisoner still persisted, and witness said if he could not keep quiet he (witness) must eject him from the station. As the prisoner still continued the annoyance, witness proceeded to remove him. He then seized witness by the beard, and tore it out by handfuls. [The witness here added ruefully that he " had" a large beard. As now seen it was somewhat scanty, but a great quantity of hair was produced by another porter as having been collected on the platform. It was so obvious that a grievous amount of torture must have been suffered from the wholesale tearing of the beard from the roots that a sort of shudder passed through the crowd of spectators.] The prisonar, who was quite drunk, was ulti mately removed from the station and given in charge. John Woodman, another porter, corroborated the preceding evidence. Isaac Burchaui, Police-constable, E 45, who took the prisoner into custody, stated that the latter on the way to the station-house, said, "It is a - bad job for me; I ought to have known better." The prisoner admitted that he was drunk, but said he was really suffering from a cough, and did not wilfully exaggerate it. It was by pure accident that he tore the complainant's beard, by laying hold of it to save himself from falling. The complainant said that nothing of the kind occurred. Mr. Vaughan believed that the cough was a mere pretence. The prisoner had been some time in court and had shown no sign of any such affliction. It was a most brutal and cruel assault, for it would be difficult to conceive anything more painful than tearing the hair out of a man's beard. Ile must pay a fine of £3 or be committed for 21 days. The fine was immediately paid. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AT TILE PATENT REVOLVING SHUTTER WORKS.—Joseph Dodsworth, a workman in the employ of the Patent Revolving Shutter Works (trading under the style of Clark and Co.), Black Horse-yard, Rathbooe-place, was charged, before Mr. Knox, with stealing a quantity of tools from the works. Mr. Frederick Grafton, manager of the works, said that from information he received he followed the prisoner from the works yesterday evening until he got to Brook-street, Euston-road, when he ac costed him, and asked him if he " had not made a mistake and taken something which did not belong to him from the works. The prisoner said he had not made any mistake, neither had he taken any thing from the works. Ile then asked the prisoner if he had any objection to his searching his pockets, and the prisoner then unbuttoned a portion of his vest and took out a stock and some dies, the property of the company. Ile then gave the prisoner into cus tody to an officer he had with him, and went with the officer to the prisoner's lodgings, and there found a quantity of tools of different descriptions, some of which were manufactured expressly for the witness. lie (Mr. Graf ton) had had twice be fore to appear against workmen for robberies, and had on each occasion asked for clemency, but he now found that in doing so he had made a mistake, for it bad not checked robberies being committed, £3O worth of brass having been stolen during the last few days ; and he had therefore to ask that the prisoner might be punished with the extremity of the law as an example to the other men employed, about 300 in number. Police-constable Carter, 117 E, gave similar evidence to Mr. Grafton. Mr. Grafton asked that the case might be dealt with summarily. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for six months with hard labour. THAMES. A HARD CASE.--THE SKIP COPSE.--Mr. Henry Ilyne, late chief mate of the ship Copse, applied to Mr. Paget for a summons against Mr. H. Cross, shipowner, of No. 178, Chester-road, Bishopwear mouth, for refusing to pay him a balance of wages, amounting to £32 11s. Mr. Hyne said there were nine other seamen in the same predicament as himself. Ho joined the Copse at Plymouth on a voyage to Venice or any port in the Mediterranean, North America, West I n d i Applicant—At s, aud bck again guineas per month. The to any port in Great Britain. Mr. Paget—At wh a t wages ? cap tain was put in irons by th e crew f o r stabbing Henry Crickmore, th e cook and stewar d , on th e 21st, and again on the 31st July, at sea, a few hours' sail from Lisbon. The ship was taken into Lisbon and detained there by the British Consul, who sent the captain home a prisoner, and sent the crew home as witnesses. He had been here since the 17th of August and had not received a farthing wages. Ile had to maintain himself. He had written to the owner for his wages, and payment was refused. Mr. Paget said he would help the crew if he could. Neither ship nor owner was here. The applicant must go to Sunderland and sue the owner there. Mr. Hyne said he had not the means of reaching Sunderland. Mr. Paget said the British Consul had thought proper to stop the ship and send home the captain, mate, and crew. l ie had investigated the case fully, and was satisfied Crickmore was labour ing under a delusion, and that he had not been wounded by Captain Orwin, the master of the Copse, at all. ir. Hyne—Yes he did, s i r ; he made two at tempts in the night time to murder him and cut his throat on the first occasion. et — l'e s, himself. fiee was undoubtedly in. he impressed you w i t h t h e sane sa mlre: P e a stabbed belief as tabbed himself. I took great pains with the case, and I am satisfied with the captain's inno cence. Mr. dyne—There was no one in the cabin on either occasion but the captain and Crickmore. I saw that myself. Mr. Paget--He impressed y ou w i th the same delusionas himself. I cannot help you at all. Mr. Hyne—There was no complaint against me. The Consul sent me to London, and I ought to have my wages. There are the poor men here starving. Mr. Paget—l cannot help you. The owner is out of my jurisdiction, and the ship is not here. WESTMINSTER. CHARGE OF SYSTEMATIC AND EXTENSIVE PLUN DER.—George Rymer was placed at the bar charged with stealing a gold watch, a quantity of jewellery, and a great number of other articles of considerable value, the property of Mr. Rogers, of 81, Vauxhall bridge ; and George Barker, another young man, was charged with feloniously receiving part of the property, well-knowing the same to have been stolen. Mr. Smytb, solicitor, opened the case for the pro secution, and afterwards called witnesses in support of the statement. He said the prisoner Rymer lodged in the house of Mr. Rogers up to the 30th ult. For some time past a great number of articles had been stolen, and on the 26th the prosecutor, during Rymer's absence, entered the room be occu pied and there found pawnbrokers' tickets relating to part of the missing property. On the 29th ult. a box, containing a great quantity of jewellery, was NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. These markets are fairly supplied with meat. The trade on the whole, is quiet, at our quotations.

STEALING RINGS FROM THE A.IARCIIIONESS OF HASTINGS. —At the Marlborough Police-court, yesterday, John Bell was charged with stealing five rings from her 10.4- ship's apartments, St. George's Hotel, Albemarle-street. The property was abstracted by some means from the Marchioness's jewel case, and the prisoner was afterwards found attempting to sell the jewels in question, five rings worth between £7OO and £BOO. Ile said the rings were given to l tim by a person whom ho met by accident in New Bond-street. Ho was remanded.

Lady readers will be interested in the following account of au Alpine excursion by a party of ladies. It has been sent by a correspondent of the Liverpool Daily Post, extracted from a private letter : ,1 Zurich, Switzerland, August 27, 1867. "We joined our friends at the station here on Monday, the 20th, and with them proceeded on a short tour among the Swiss Alps, indeed into the very heart of them. We proceeded by steamer to Rappers-chwyl, at the other end of the lake. We then took the train to Glares, a place memorable for the great fire, which, a few years ago, consumed every house in the town, leaving the inhabitants without shelter. To-day it presents a far different aspect to what it ever did before, few wooden houses are to be seen, all are built of stone, and are hand some mansions. We visited the cathedral, also a new building, in which beauty and simplicity i.re combined. The. Roman Catholics hold their service in it in the morning, and the Protestants in the afternoon. On coming out of the hotel it seemed as if the face of the sky was obscured by a tremen dous black cloud, and so close to us that our very breath felt oppressed as it were ; but this was the colossal mountain, with its stony face, bare of vegetation, it looked the grim monarch of the spot. We stayed here for an hour or so, and then ordered a carriage to take us up to Stachel berg, where we arrived in two hours. Oh what beauty; what grandeur! what awful summits towered away into the clouds ! Numerous were the waterfalls, some descending the face of the moun tains in graceful cascades, others leaping and plunging from rock to rock, disappearing, and again forcing a passage through some cavern. As we neared Stachelberg the great Todti, with its unmelted snows, came in sight. The mountain breeze was cold, and we were glad to gather our cloaks around us. Except the summits, all the mountains around were covered with trees ; here and there were beau tiful verdant slopes, on which goats, pretty piebald creatures,were browsing, and then the Swiss home stead was sure to be near at hand. It seemed to me that the waters of the river and those of the foaming cataracts fed by the melting snows never mixed the former were clear and sparkling, the latter of a milky colour. We reached the hotel in time for tea. A large apartment was full of guests, all eating and drinking and talking—such a Babel ! Only another party besides ourselves had a tea-pot before them, which sufficiently tells that England had the fewest representatives. How we all en joyed the delicious rolls, butter, and honey. Strange to say, though having a quiet bedchamber, I could not sleep ; and indeed the whole time I was there I slept but very little. Nevertheless, I did such feats in the way of walking, clambering up the Alpine passes, with my Alpine stock, and feeling, compara tively speaking, no fatigue, that I can only attribute to the air of the mountains the wonderful strength and vigour of my body. " One of our excursions, whilst there, was to the foot of the Todti ; we drove up as far as the hotel, and then set out, staff in hand, to theTanton bridge. Winding our way along the edge of deep ravines, then through•beech woods, up paths roughly hewn out of the mountain side, down again into dells, again with desperate efforts climbing the steep and rugged path, we reached the goal—a new-built stone bridge. On a finger-post hard by we were informed that the former one, having stood the torrent for 400 years, had at last been washed away, and that the present one was erected by the Canton of Glarus. Picture to yourself a roaring river rushing madly, as it were, down its inclined bed, jumping over huge rocks, tossing up its foam, and then taking a leap into a chasm of fearful depth. "Not far from this is a plateau, with a couple of benches to rest on, and a memorial—inscribed on the face of a portion of the mountain, or rather let into it—to a gentleman, a native of Saxony, much loved and respected here in Zurich, who lost his life in the spring of the year in which we arrived here, attempting to ascend the ' Grunhorn'—a part of the Todti range. He was foolish enough to go up without a guide. K— and the boys went fur ther up, but they had a guide—one of the hotel people having business t 3 transact, and a franc re munerated him for hie kindness. In the meantime, having rested, we turned to go down the mountain. This was severer work than any, for the sun by this time shone down upon us, and the rocks reflected his rays. But the descent was effected, and glad were we to get under the roof of the Todti Hotel. The host brought us a bottle of delicious Spanish wine, and, with addition of some bread and cheese, we refreshed the inner man, and started off in our one-horse shay for Stachelberg, which we reached in time for dinner at one. " On Friday we left at six in the evening, reached Glarus between 7 and 8, had tea, went to bed, and started at 6 in the morning for Kloenthal—a valley in the Glaruish mountains. Bare the scenery was not of that character which fills the mind with awe, but it was beautiful beyond description. The river, like successive sheets of liquid silver, flowed down the rocky gorge. As we ascended the narrow road, it was evident that great landslips had from time to time taken # place ; immense rocks had tumbled down ; and, while some had stuck midway in their descent, others had pitched over into the bed of the river, and out of their crevices sprung up the fir and beech tree. It was a long and steep anent, but we reached the top at last, and here, stretched out c b o e ns for id e with From a its lake bed er us able h e y xte t n h t e , T cle h a a r i' as or cry va st ll a e l y . numerous springs rise, by w hich it acting as a waste pipe to ca rr y off itsis f u e r d p , l s h g a t o e r r s g O . It abounds with fish. While the horses were being fed we had a bottle of wino and some bread. The host of the inn took us across his meadow, and sang one of his Swiss mountain songs, which was beau tifully echoed from the other side; and now, having inscribed our names in the Strangers' Book,' we bade farewell, and started off on our return to Glarus. Dinner over, we packed up our traps, and walked to the station on the opposite side of the way. " It had occupied us just six hours going and re turning from the Kloenthal. A slight shower of rain before we reached the hotel was the only draw back, but all was over before we took our seats in the train. In a steady downpour of rain we arrived at the Zurich Station. We soon packed into a carriage and drove home; so thus ended our tour among the mountains. ,‘ L. J. T." HANDICAP PLATE. Cromwell Tumbler 2 Aggravator • • 3 Eleven ran. VICTORIA CLUB BETTING--Tors DAT. There was not a very large muster present, but plenty of business was transacted; in fact the day may be noted as one of the most active for some weeks. Of course the Great Autumn Handicaps were brought under notice, and the opinion formed of the imposts by those " on change" may be gleaned from the following return of quotations. There did not appear to be any genuine commis sions extant, but Blinkhoolie, it will be observed, was the reigning favourite, though we only heard his price accepted to a " pony."
