MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE o'CLOcK. Very little business is reported in the Discount Market, and the rates appear to be merely nominal, for while the best bills are quoted in general circles 13, special transactions are arranged and in some eases per cent. below that figure. With such facilities, it is almost superfluous to add that the inquiries at the Bank with its 2 per cent. minimum are very limited. The sum of £8,0)0 in gold was taken to the Bank of England on Saturday. The West India Mail steamer Douro has arrived with gold to the amount of £121,898, and silver amounting to £110,281, together £232,179 sterling. A dividend has been declared at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum by the Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company. The East Indian Railway Company have in vited applications for 4i per cent. guaranteed de bentures at par to the amount of £1,000,000 for five years, and not convertible into shares. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week state that business generally has re mained quiet at Manchester. The demand for cloths and yarns for home use and for exportation has been on a very limited scale, and purchasers have acted with great caution. In the woollen dis tricts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield there has been a moderate inquiry for goods suitable for present use, and the heavy goods trade con tinues steady, manufacturers generally being fairly engaged upon contract orders. The hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham hare been without much alteration ; while in the hard- Ware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wol verhampton a slight improvement may be reported in most branches of business, particularly oa the demand for railway iron for India and Australia. A call of £5O per share has been made on the contributories in the Leeds Banking Company, Payable on the 31st August. A meeting has also been held of the English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank, when the report was adopted and the dividend declared. The profits have been fully equal to the average, but the sum of £lO,OOO have been transferred from the reserved fund to equalise the dividend. The monetary crisis, to which reference was male in the last report as existing in the colonies, has been followed by extreme stagnation during the 'whole of the period under review, more especially in New South Wales, where the large failures, which occurred in the latter part of 1866, caused a severe shock to mercantile confidence, seriously affecting trade generally, and greatly depreciating the value of all descriptions of property. Under these very exceptional circumstances the directors were not Unprepared to hear that losses, to 831110 extent, had been incurred, notwithstanding the caution exer cised by the colonial managers in conducting the affairs of the bank. The directors therefore re cwranend that out of the balance of pro fit and loss account, viz., £22,986 23. 11d., a dividend be paid at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, on £600,000, the paid up capital of the bank, which will require £21,000 ; that the premises and furniture accounts be reduced by £l,OOO ; and that £986 23.11 d. bo brought for- Ward to the current half year. At a meeting to-day of the shareholders of the bismuth Colonial Steam Ship Company the direc- We report was adopted. The directors recommend th at the surplus of £4,074 17s. 11d. should be dealt With in the following manner :—" That a dividend of 15 s, per share be paid to the proprietors on and after the 10th August, amounting to £2,163 153. ; that a sum of £1,500 be written off the value of the s hips, leaving a balance of £lll 2s. 11d. to be car ried forward to next half-year's account. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have declined 1, to 27 29, and the ConsolidAto.l Mortgage Bonds, to 22 23. With regard to corn and cotton at Alexandria., Messrs. E. R.

In this case, which came before the Court in the shape of a motion of appeal against the judgment of Vice-Chancel or Malins for the wi n di ng up of this Company, judgment was given by Lord Justice Cairns this morning. His lordship said that the hotel was one situated at Hampstead Heath, and it was alleged in the petition of a few of the shareholders that it was the desire of that body that the concern should be wound up. On the other hand, leave to appeal had been given to the larger body of shareholders, who stated that it was the wish of the majority that the undertaking should be still continued, and that if it were under different management, and conducted in a more economical and energetic manner, it would ultimately pay a satisfactory dividend. It had been argued on the part of the petition that, in all the cases on record, whenever a petition of this description came before the Court, it had invariably granted an order for winding up, and three special cases had been particularly mentioned. In the first of thes3 the Master of the Rolls bad recommended that some arrangement should be come to between the adverse shareholders, but it bad subsequently come before the Lord Chancellor, who had given it as his opinion that as the majority of the share holders were in favour of still continuing ' the enterprise that the company should still carry out their operations. The second class was one which applied to bubble companies, which this company certainly was not, and the third related to mercantile transactions of a different nature. Taking all these circumstances into consi deration, he was, therefore, of opinion that the Court should not look to the probability of success if the undertaking were still carried on, but should rather advocate the principle that when a majority wished to continue the enterprise they should have the option of doing so. With great respect to the learned Vice-Chancellor, he must dismiss the petition witk costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAPTURE OF AN ESCAPED CONTICT.—Jamee Ward Was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt by Sergeant John Cook, 16 C, with being at largo before the expiration of his sentence of two years' imprisonment in the county gaol of Presteign, Radnorshire, North Wales, for highway robbery. Sergeant Cook said that about 6 o'clock yesterday even ing, from information ho received, ho apprehended the prisoner at the Jersey Stores public-house, Church-street, Soho, for having escaped from the county gaol of Prosteign, Radnorshire, where he was undergoing a sentence of two years' imprisonment, and having six months more to serve. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the Sergeant what the prisoner said when he took him into custody. The Sergeant said the prisoner did not deny it, but said that he was sold. Mr. Tyrwhitt Raid the prisoner would be remanded, and probably returned to Presteign, where he would have to Ferve a considerable time. THE ORGAN NUISANCE.—An Italian organ-player named Juan Fossi was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with playing an organ to the annoyance of Mr. Thos. Ramsden, chemist, 29, North Audley-stroet. Martha Shays, servant to Mr. Ramsden, said that by direction of her master ehe told the defendant and mo- tioned him away, that he refused, and her master then wont out to the defendant. Mr. Ramsden said that at a quarter to 12 on Saturday night ho sent his servant out to tell the defendant, who was playing an organ, to go away, and on his refusing to do so he went himself and told him to leave, and motioned him to do so, but he refused. His wife, who was au in valid, had been frequently annoyed, but more especially so at such an unseasonable hour. The defendant said that two persons at a publiehouse gavo him a penny to play, and ho did so. Mr. Tyrwhitt final the defendant 55., or four days' im prisonment. THAMES. A SAVAGE.—Levy Goss , , a Polish Jew, was brought More Mr. Paget charged with assaulting his sister and a police-constable named James Pead, 401 K. The prisoner and his sister have been quarrelling for some time, and very unhappy differences existed between them. Sho met with an accident and broke her arm a few weeks since, and is now under medical treatment. Her father is dying, and she is labouring under pecuniary dis tress. On Saturday night the prisoner entered his sister's shop iu High-street, Shadwell, and abused her. She de sired him to leave, which ho refused to do, and ho struck her and knocked her down. Her screams brought a constable to her assistance, and the prisoner made a furious attack upon him, butted him on the chest with his head, struck him, and broke his helmet. After a severe conflict in the shop the prisoner was taken into custoly. The prisoner's sister, who had been very much ill used, wished to forgive her brother, and made an earnest appeal in his favour. Mr. Paget said the prisoner bad committed a violent and savage assault, but as his sister had interceded for him he should overlook the assault upon her, and sentence him to two months' imprisonment and hard labour for the as sault on the police constable.

MARK LANE, In most of the leading markets held on Saturday wheat advanced is to 2s per quarter. At that amount of im provement very little business was transacted. All kinds of spring corn were firm in price, and flour was 2s per 2801 h dearer. Throughout the continent wheat has continued to ad vance in price. Barley and all other kinds of produce are very firm. In the United States both wheat and flour have sold ou higher terms. The impirts of foreign and cJioni.►l produce into Lon don last week were very large, viz., 40,197 qrs wheat, 4,808 barley, 100,190 oats, 7 beaus, 6,617 peas, 246 linseed, 5,873 rapeseed, 6,315 maize, 555 sundry, 1,935 sacks and 500 brl.s flour. There was again a very poor show of English wheat lit re to-day coastwise an I by laud carriage. Although the trade was by no llamas active, prices were supported. With foreign wheat we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied. Bath red and white parcels changed hands freely, and the quotations ruled about stationary. Floating cargoes of grain were held on higher terms. The inquiry for then; however, was by no means active. No English barley was at market, and the supply of foreign was only moderate. Grinding qualities were the tura dearer, and other qualities were firm in price. Malt supported previous rates, .with a fair inquiry. The supply was tolerably good. The oat trade ruled steady, at last week's quotations. The supply of foreign oats was very large. Beans were steady iu price, with a moderate inquiry. We have no change to notice in the value of peas. The supply of English was limited, of foreign good. The flour trade was steady, at is. is 2s. per 2801'os more money. Agricultural seeds were hoavy ; but linseed, rapeseed, and cakes were very firm. CURRENCY PER IMP. MBASQU Wheat—Essex and Kent, red, new, per qr. 625 to 73. Do., old 6B. 74.

For the Stewards' Cup Wolsey was in strong request, there being a large commission in his favour. 1,000 to 100, after all sorts of prices, was ac cepted about him, that price not being obtainable at the clOse. Sultan beat a hasty retreat, but several others, as below, were in genuine de mand. For the Stakes Jezabel remained firm, Also Gomera, who was supported for several hun dreds. Vici and Wild Briar each wore in healthy request, while there appeared to be money for both Clarice and Vidi. Lucifer at one time found support at 9to 1, but subsequently was friendless at 20 to 1, even money being butted against his running. Dulcimer, reported to be scratched, was friendless. Vauban was in most demand for the Cup. The prices are appended.

There is an excellent four days' sport at Goodwood, this week, which will unquestionably prcvide both backers and layers with ample food for discussion during the rest of the season, as we may anticipate many of next year's Derby candidates will be putting in an appearance for their two-year-old engagements here, and shall also got a view of Taraban, and be able to judge if there is any probability of the great Wizard of the North performing another of his celebrated feats for the St. Leger with Mr. Bowes's gelding. With a vivid recollection of the wonders he performed with Gamester, Warlock, and Imperieuse, I shall not ignore the horse's chance for the Great Doncaster Prize until he has fulfilled hie present engagement, for which purpose he, with War and Westwick, passed through town on Saturday afternoon. On Tuesday, for The Larant Stakes, Athena has in curred a penalty of 61b; Cock of the Walk, lnnerdale, and Le Sarrazin have each 31b extra to carry, which I think will prevent any of that division winning, my impression being that ST. RONAN will beat them. Amongst the competitors for the Rous Stakes will doubtless be TARABIN (31b extra), Viridis (31b extra), and Bismarck (31b extra), whose chances I recom mend in the order named. BUMBLEXITE should have no difficulty in winning The Gratwicke Stakes, and which ever Lord Stamford runs, IDALIA or HELVELLYN, should be good enough to win his lordship The Ham Stakes. To select the winner of the Stewards' Cup is like "looking for a needle in a bottle of hay," bit the owners of Wolsey, Mrs. Stratton, The Skipper, Batthyany, Actsia, Langham, Jeannie Deans, Life Uuardsman, Camellia, and the colt by Longbow, dam by Double Cross, have good reason to be satisfied. The actual winner I expect will be WOLSEY. The Annesley Stakes looks a good thing for WEETWICK, who will stay over the course, which is nearly three miles and a half. Thaw]; 4 years, is sure to boat Weather Isle, 2 years, half a mile, as the owner of the old horse is an accomplitihed artist in the pigskin, and will hare very little, if any, more weight to carry. SIGNET and DEMONSTRATION will, I think, also win their respec tive matches. If VAUBAN is brought out for the Draw ing Room Stakes on Wednesday, ho will win. The Goodwood Stakes will furnish us with a dozen runners or more. Of these Gomera, Lucifer, Tynedale, Clarice, Wild Briar, Dulcimer, Vici, and Guy of Warwick have been extensively backed. Blinkhoolie and 0 wain Glyndwyr are not likely to be amongst the starters on this occa sion, as the former is doing very little work, and the latter is said to have broken a blond-vessol the other day whilst doing his work. My decided impression is in favour of JEZABEL and GOMERA. The Findon Stakes will most likely go to MAMELUKE or ST. RONAN, as I am satisfied they has 51b both Derby horses, but as the Marquis's ho rse 51b extra to carry the latter reads most trustworthy. I think Scuß DE CHARITE will win a Sweepstakes of 30 , 0 soya for 3-yr-old fillies, whilst the ono for c olts sheuldo will to VAXBAN, and in the Goodwood Derby FRIPONNIEn have no difficulty in beating her o pponents. be won by The Goodwood Cup, ou Thursd a y , will os t fancy for VAUBAN, next to whom I Lava very for FEODOR cannot for the Racing Stakes.

The fatal disease, which seems to have fastened upon the grouse to the destruction of so many thousands, has mani fested itself in our county, decimating the birds to a very serious extent, and rendering the chances of a good shoot ing season slender enough. Dead birds, our correspon dents say, are found in all directions, while those on the wing are small and poor. On the other hand, however, partricLes and pheasants show well, being apparently in excellent health as well as in good condition. The coveys, too, are numerous and large, affording every pro mise of abundance of game.—Kendal Mercury. 40 10 LOO IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—Tins EVENING. The Llitn CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsatk a five o'clock. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. On the motion of the Earl of MALMESBURY for going into committee, Lord tf AMP . AX rose and moved the following amend ment—" That, with regard to the redistribution of seats the proposed scheme is inadequlto, and that it is ex expedient to provide the means of giving more representa tives to large and important constituencies than was given by the bill, and said toat if ho adopted another p:an to the one which he had now adopted, he should have incurred the censure of the noble lords. lie was actuated by one motive only, that was that this question might bo settled as satisfactorily and speedly as possible (Hoar, hear.) Ile thought that the other side of tile house was more likely to carry such a measure than they on that side were. It was Government only that could effect this. The motion he had put on the paper was therefore no party motion. He was a man of party, and if ho meant this motion as such he should have avowed it to be so. But as this matter was above party feeling he would not have brought forward a rival scheme, for that would be a party motion. Ile thought that with regard to the redistribution of seats the scope of the bill was inadequate, and on that ground alone he brought forward this motion, and without any reference to party whatever. (Hear, hear.) He wished, before he went to the question of redistribution of seats, to say one word about the other side of the bill. The Government had proposed a very large measure of Reform, and he had to say for one that with it he was perfectly satisfied. He had none of those fears with regard to the operations of the bill which had been expressed in that house. He consi dered that there would be no abuse of the privileges conferred by the scheme. He only wished that the other half of the bill had been conceived in the same liberal spirit. With reference to the discussion on the bill, he would ask would they merely register the opinion of the other house of Parliament, and not discuss the question themselves because it had come to them late in the year? He thought not. If any borough should lose its seat through disfranchisement, which was under the influence of a member of that house, it would be a grateful concession on the part of their lordships to allow of thoincrease of redistributionthat would produce thischange. He proceeded then to point out the prominent de fects in the scheme. It would give in large boroughs certain extra members, but in the small boroughs hardly any alteration would take place. There were 10 boroughs which had only 5,000 each, the population of the whole amounting to 38,000 ; and six of these boroughs had less in population than they had in 1831. Then there was the borough of Liver pool having a population of 440,000, four times the popu lation than that of the whole ten boroughs just alluded to ; and there was an increase in the borough of Wolverhampton almost as great. It would be seen that as the large boroughs had increased so had the smaller ones di minished. He should like to see certain districts cut up into equal proportions with an equal number of members. As under the present scheme there would be the seine number of members to a county having 15,000 inhabitants as there would bo ill one having only 30,000 or 40,000. He would rather see that there should be a proportionate number of members to each division. The noble lord then contrasted the boroughs which were to have additional members with the boroughs which were not mentioned in the bill, and stated that there were many of these boroughs which really had a larger popula tion ; for instance, there was the borough of Darlington, which had 15,000, and that of Stockton 13,000 population, while many towns around had far larger populations. A prima facie case, therefore, was made out against the scheme, which was that it was unfair and inadequate. These were not solitary cases, there were wily similar ones. He thought he had shown them that the scheme of the Government with regard to the smaller boroughs was unequal, and that it was likely to cause discontent throughout the country. If he had satis fied their lordships that there was just cause that some alteration should be made in that portion of the bill he was satisfied. All that he was anxious to do was to point out what he conceived the course which their lordships ought to take. The first thing was to test the smaller borough. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THIS EVENING. The SPEAKE It took the chair at 4 o'clock. DENMARK AND PRUSSIA. Mr. D. GRIFFITH 'asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the French Government had re monstrated with that of Prussia against their requiring any engagement as to the protection of the Garman popu lation of North Schleswig from Denmark as the condition of their giving effect to the fifth article of the Treaty of Prague ; and whether the English Government had offered any opinion on the subject. Lord STANLEY said it was quite true that communi cations had passed between France and Prussia, but he should not be justified in stating the nature of those com munication; as the information he had received was of a confidential nature. Her Majesty's Government had ex pressed no opinion whatever on the subject. THE SCOTCH REFORM BILL. Sir J. OGILVIE asked whether it was intended to bring this bill forward for discussion this evening. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not intended to do so th a t even i ng or any o th er even ing during the present session. (Laughter.) It had been asked that tho bill be reprinted, and on the motion for going into committee he should move th it the house do so profornia, i.ud at the sama time move that the bill be re printed with the alterations made in acc.irdance with those if the English bill ; but before he could do it was necessary it should be known what was done in another place with respect to the English bill. Col. FRENCH asked whether it was proposed to raise any discussion on the motion for going into committee The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not anticipate any discussion would arise, as the motion would simply be that the holse go into committeepreforma. Mr. M'LAREN asked when the discussion would be taken ? (A Voice —" Next session.") (Laughter.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had already stated that it was not intended to proceed fur ther with the bill during the present session. Mr. M'LAREN said that the hon. member for Ayrshire had announced on Friday last that the bill should not go on without an opportunity being given of discussing the matter. Sir J. FERGUSSON said on Friday he was authorised to say that no progress would be made in the bill without an opportunity being given for discussion. He never said that further progress would be made. THE FENIANS. Major KNOX asked the right hon. gentleman opposite if it was true that he had seated that champagne and other delicacies had been furnished to the Fenians by the place he had the honour to represent. Mr. MONSELL said his observations applied to Dun garvon and not Dungannon. THE PACKET SERVICE VOTE. In reply to Mr. CRAWFORD, Mr. HUNT said he had intended toproceed with this vote on Wednesday, but as it had been representel that it would be exceedingly inconvenient to members generally if he did so he would fix the matter for Thursday next. PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS BILL. In reply to Sir G. GREY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not intended to proceed further with this bill during the present session. The order for the committal of the bill was then read and ordered to be discharged. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENT BILL. In reply to Mr. Holm, Mr. AYRTON said when the order of the day for the second reading was arrived at he would state what course he intended to take with regard to the bill. THE PURCHASE SYSTEM. Col. NORTH rose to bring under the consideration of the house the casesof Lieut. Frederick Nind Woodall and Lieut. and Adjutant H. Curry, of the 74th Highlanders; and Lieut. and Adjutant R. F. Stirke, 69th Regiment. The hon. and gallant gentleman said the cause of those officers was ono of peculiar hardship: they had been pur chased over no less than five times, and the whole cause of their non-advancement in their profession was simply because they were not in possession of the means of obtaining their promotion under the pre sent objectionable system of purchase. The officers he had mentioned were men of the highest honour and undoubted courage, and it was to be regretted that such efficient officers should be so unjustly treated. 110 concluded by moving the following:—" That in the opinion of the house no monotaiy consideration should delay the promotion of these three officers. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he should decline to touch upon the question of any expenditure from the reserve fund until he had seen the report of the committee whictho had been sitting to consider the subject. With respect the 3d West India Regiment, it was a peculia r cas e, and he had already dealt with it. (Hear, hear.)

On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. OT WAY asked the Secretary of State for India whether there was any, and if any, what limit to the sums of money which the Secretary of State for India iu Council may expend in this country without obtain ing the sanction of Parliament; and, should the balance in the Home Treasury be insufficient to meet any exceptional expenditure incurred by the Secretary of State for India in Council, whether there was any and, if any, what limit to the sum for which he may draw on the revenues of India ; and if the Secretary of State for India could fix the day for the discussion of the Indian Budget. Sir S. NORTIICOTE said there was no limit to the home expenditure of the revenues of India, which were vested in the Secretary of State for India in Council. There were limits, however, with respect to the salaries of the Secretary of State and the members of the council. With resepect to allowances that wore made to officers dismissed for misconduct, the money was awarded those persons to prevent them from actu ally coming to starvation. It was thought very objectionable that persons having enjoyed certain positions in India should be seen in this country in a state of desti tution. (LEFT SITTING.) PRUSSIA. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

Sir,—Will you be so good as to insert in your papor the following statement of the facts with regard to the disputed bet on the Derby. Mr. Scully the steward of the Ulster Club, called on me, and inquired the price of Hermit for the Derby. I informed him that the price was 10 to 1. He then stated that he would take it to £5O. I wrote him a voucher fur X5OO to £5O, and requested the money. He stated that it was for a Mr. Smith, of Armagh. I said I did not know Mr. Smith, and would not credit any party for such an amount whom I did not know, and got the voucher back from him. Ho stopped for some time after, stating that I need not be afraid, and stated that the money would be posted with me a week before the race I then told him, if the money was posted before the race, that I would lay him on these conditions. I met Scully after, going to Dublin on the train, and he requested me to send a list of the betting to Mr. Smith of Armagh which I did, and the list was returned to me as "no known." I again met Scully, in company with another man, and told him of the letter being returned, and in formed him that ho must have the money posted. lie then stated that the money would be sure to be posted I never saw him again until the Monday after the race was run. He came, and very coolly requested me to give him £5OO. I asked' Lim did ho forget that the money was to be posted before the race? He then stated ho was looking for me, and could not find me. I informed him, if ho wanted to see me, he could have seen me; or he could have given the money to my wife, or placed it in the hands of any gentleman for me ; or Le could have sent it through the post-office. But the horse was reported as not likely to run for the race; and I stated that, if the horse Lad lost, I had no claim to recover the money, it not being posted ; that the bet was void ; and, according to the laws of betting, us laid down by the Jockey Club and Tattersall's, pub lished in "Ruff's Guide," that when you cannot win you can lose. Mr. Smith then called, stating that he wanted the money, and said there was a memorandum of the bet. I informed him that it was marked "unpaid," and that he was aware that the money was to be posted before the race, or no bet. He stated Scully's excuse—that he was looking for me, and Lad the money. I told him if the horse had been at sto 1, instead of 100, he would have found me. I, after all this, offered to have the case heard by two gentlemen of the Ulster Club, and to Lave a reporter to take down a full statement of the case, and to submit it for decision to either the committee of Tattersall's or to Admiral Rous. That did not please ; and I refused to have any other settlement. I met Mr. Smith at the Maze Meet ing after, and he requested ma to meet him at the stewards' room. I had just got into the room when the Marquis of Down.hire asked who was eomplainant is the case. Mr. Smith came forward and stated that ha was, and produced the memorandum of the bet which I gave to Scully, marked " unpaid." Scully then gave h's statement, and admitted that the money was to be posted before the race, and the old excuse—that Ile could not see me. Clarke (the man who was in company with Scully when he said that he would have the money posted with me) proved the above fact. Before the case was opened, I disputed the power of stewards of race meet ings to decide disputed bets, but offered to allow them to hear the case if they would permit me to have a re porter of the press present to take down a state ment of the whole case, and submit it for decision to Admiral Rous. But they would neither have the press nor the Admiral; and the Marquis decided that 1 would have to pay or leave, without taking tits op:uion of any of the rest of the stTvards pre . sent.
