- MONEY MARKET ACID COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE OTLOCIC. The demand in the general discount market con flues very moderate, and the business transacted as led to 110 change in quotations, which still re tain at 1i for first-class short-dated paper. Gold to the amount "of £50,000 was taken to the auk of England yesterday. The steamer Larlace, from the Brazils, has rrived with £95,168 in specie ; and the Galileo, elonging to the same line, has brought £52,272. The report of the directors presented at the meet ig held to-day of the Mediterranean Extension 'elegraph Company stated that the revenue and xpenditure of the past half-year were about equal ) those of the preceding half-year. The Corfu able had been successfully repaired, at a cost of ' 69 5, and both lines are now in excellent order. the interruption continued from the 9th of De enaber till the 4th of May, owing to which a apse of 56 days of the Government Guarantee ecurred. The directors recommended the usual divi .end of eight shillings per share, less income-tax, 11 preference shares, equal to 8 per cent. per an- Inn, and three shillings per share, free of income az) equal to 3 per cent. per annum on the ordinary hares, such dividends to be paid as soon as the Honey shall be received from the other telegraph 6d ►ninistrations, and tho balance carried to the re ,erve fund. At the meeting of the City of London Brewery company (Limited) an ad interim dividend of 6 ler cent, was declared. _ _ At the meeting held to-day of the East London lailway Company the lirectors' report entered ally into the state and progress of the works, which, hough well advanced, have not been so rapid as could )e desired. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debenturee 'cumin steady at 26 28 ; and the Consolidated qortgage Bonds have risen I, to 22i 23. At the meeting held to-day of the Electric and [ nternational Telegraph Company the report Mated that the receipts for the half year slightly exceed those of the corresponding period of last year, being £ 1 67,461, and the net balance £68,995. The directors, therefore, had much pleasure in recom mending a dividend of 5 per cent., free of income Lax, 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 f ive months from the Ist February, the date at Which the first call of £3 was made. After pay bleat 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 Paris to day, the French Rentes were 69f. 250. Firm, 'lather animated. Continuous rain and cold, at a period when s unshine and warmth are considered to be necessary for harvest prospects, have had some further effect 11 1 30 e the speculative account in Consols at the S tock 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 fe its close, the abundance of money, the quietude Of Continental politics, and the certainty of •enor tnuus supplies of foreign grain to compensate at low Prices for any deficiency of our own crops, all tend t° 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 t 3 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 REAY, 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 had 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. They were in a peculiar position. Many causes which resulted in the depression of receipts and traffic were not incident to them. They 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 the Great Northern, or any other line. He had 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 he must giv e 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, r. 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. At the conclusion of certain questions which had been addressed to the chairman, the report was adopted, and a dividend of 5 per cent. per annum on the preference and 7 per cent. on the consoli dated stock was declared. The other portions of the report, relating to the Midland and other railway company's, were adopted. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKE7—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 Faris 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 £3 i'ra. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is at about tha Fame price in Paris aad London. the 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. Tin 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 set 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, on the Norfolk coast, in a north east gale and a very heavy sea which bad 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 bo launched. Meanwhile, nearly all the fishermen and boatmen of the place had gone to the scone of the wreck, ith the view of rendering assistance in saving the crow 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. Auberou Herbert, brother cf Lord Carnarvon. As soon as the boat was lama:hal 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 crew 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 crew had been saved by rocket apparatus. The gallant services of Mr. Herbert aro to be brought under the notice of the National Lifeboat institution at its next meeting. A meeting of the Trades' Unions Commissioners was held yesterday, at 1, Park-prospect, Great Queen street, Westminster. Present:—The Eight Hon Sir W. Erie (chairman), the Earl of Lichfield, Lord Elcho, M.P., Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., and Mr. William Mathews. Mr. J. IL Patteson, secretary to the commission, was also present.

STABBING BY A FRENCIIMAN.—Hiransi Joseph Giiand, 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. • Fromm the evidence it appeared that Mrs. M'Cormack was going home when the prisoner caught hold of her in an offensive way. Mrs. M.`Cor Rack - called to her husband, who was walking in advance of. her, and on his coming up the prisoner staff bed hint 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 Pennell, 158 F, said prisoner was given into his custody in Monmouth-court, and on telling him tho charge, ho appeared not to understand him.

A GANG OP FEMALE TIIIEVEB GONVICTED.—Three ill favoured, crafty-looking women, named Emma Sage, aged I 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 ever 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 11‘saw the pri soners in High-street, WI itechapel, putting their hands into the pockets of respectable females, and attempting to rob them. Ho followed them eastward of the church, and they assailed an old lady, twisted her round, and put their hands 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. 194 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 clever thieven in the metropolis. Two men she had lived with bad been convicted of felony, and were now undergoing penal servitude. Emma Sage had been in custody fur 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 know Emma Sage well. She had been convicted in the City for picking pockets. John Walker, police-sergeant, No. 30 M, said all the prisoners hid been living in one house. They were clever shoplifters, and ho 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 publichouso in Southwark. They restored the money which they took from him and wero liberated. Mr. Paget had no doubt the prisoners were incorrigible and dangerous thieves, and he 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 bard labour. OVERBOARD 11E WENT.—Thomas James Daniels, a dock labourer, was beought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk and incapable. Police Sergeant Ripp, No. 5. K, said he was informed that a man had fallen over the canal bridge, Mile-End-road, last night. I 1 found the prisoner on the towing path quite insensible. He conveyed him to the 11011S0 of a sur geon, who said the man was much hurt, and advised him to take him to tho London Hospital. He took the prisoner there in a cab, and he was placed under medical treatment. Mr. Paget—Did the prisoner fall over the wall of the bridge. Ripp —lle 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 he wont." Mr. Pagot—How high is the wall? • ' Ripp - About the height of this witness box, sir (3ift.). Mr. Paget—Perhaps it is fortunate he did not fall into the canal. If he had done so he would have been drowned. Ho has been punished enough and he is.dkehargod. nit SUN, * LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENIiG, AUGUST 7. 1867 • 4 RIPON RACES. TuEsDAy.

MARKETS.---This day. MARIi. 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. The 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 lost 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 ; The quantity of Russian on offer is very large. Beans and peas wore steady, at lato values. Wo have no alteration to report in the valuo of either town or country flour. Cakes were firm at former currencies, but agricultural seeds met a slow inquiry. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley.

GRANTLEY BERKE LEY.—On the occasion of the West Gloucestershire election the Hon. Grantley 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 su pp lied b y some person in the position of a gentleman (a rough would, in Mr. Berkeley's opinion, have used rotten e gg s ) , and, if so, Mr. Berkeley proclaims that he wishes to fight a duel with the offender, either at Chalk Farm or o n Boulo g ne 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 circulation of a handbill announcing that you aro going to fight one. The Hon. Grantley Nrkeley, however, knows best the course dictated to him by the fresh eggs of the West Gloucestershire election and the code of honour.—Full Mall Gazette. rADTERTISEMENT.] _Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Healing, not harmful.--No applicaticn Las mot with the same universal approbation for curing all external ailments as that which this uguent has received. Skin sores, deep ulcers, fetid discharges, burns, blistered surfaces, and many similar affections, are at onto 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 those medicaments are reasonable in price, and can be pur chased in every hamlet. They have effected cures of still 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. ~~. ; ~,,. ~, _ + ~rD rIGENCE 14 4 ' IG II TuN RAC ES —TUESDAY. A bad conumencement for the second part of the Sussex fortnight. 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 tide—i. 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 groat 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. There was another unexpected result in Trocadero (who ran well here last year) beating Van Amburgh in the Biennial. The latter looked 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 iu the Brighton, the great event of the day, the two equal favourites finished first and second, Jezabel not improving on her Goodwood Stakes turning, and the weight telling on the Amanda colt. It was a bad day for favourites, for Banditto, against whom they lb.id 6 to 5 in the Railway Stakes, succumbed under the weight and seemed unable to got up the hill ; and a great performance of Confederate's in the South down Stakes, where he gave Reindeer 111 b and won easily by a length and a half, upset the heavily-backed Lady Barbara. The 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 (.£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 ho retained into the bottom. Hero 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. Jasmine 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 soya 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 soya out of the stakes; one mile: 17 subs.

Betting -.5 to 1 agst Chic, G to 1 each agst Patti, Eau do Vie, and Cock o: the Walk, 8 to 1 agst Brenda, 10 to 1 agst Tightfit filly, 12 to 1 agst Peace, 100 to 8 each agst Betty 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 Betty, next tko 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 dt) Vie gave way to Betty, and at the same time Judy Machree moved to the front, but in so doing something struck into her and broke her kg. 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 do Vie, who came on together to the Stand, when Fordham made his effort, headed Mr. Hodgman's colt in the next half-dozen strides front home, and won a fine race by a head. Eau do Vie was beaten three lengths for se cond ; Adjutant was a bad fourth, Betty fifth, Brenda sixth, and Chic next. Tho others were pulling up, widely separated, the last being Thorucroa. Tho Brighton Stakes of 15 sovs 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 31b extra; second to receive 56 sovs. 11 miles. 31 subs.

Betting- 5 to 1 each Cheltenham and Knight Errant, 6 to 1 each agst the Amanda colt and Jezabel, 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 loader 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. past. Here Jezabel was beaten, and her place was taken by the Amanda colt, but when fairly in the bottom ho 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. Tho three from this point joined issue and ran together to the Enclosure, where Knight Errant drew a way and won a good race by half a length, Cheltenham defeating Mandrake by a brace of lengths for second, Vixen colt was fourth, Amanda colt fifth, Jezabel sixth, Pintail seventh, Glengarnoch, Vigorous, and New Guinea were beaten off.

On reaching the bottom Lincoln Green gave way, and Lord Derby, who bad hitherto been lying off, now joined the leaders. Half way up Philosopher was joined by Contempt and Banditto, the three finishing an interesting race home. Contempt, who took a slight lead at the stand, won very cleverly by three parts of a length ; a similar distance separated the second and third ; Lord Derby was fourth, close up ; Gilbert Hann= fifth, Lincoln Green sixth, and Forest King seventh.

The house divided, when there appeared — For the third reading ..................... 31 Against it .............................. 41 ...... Majority ........................... • Tho bill was consequently lost. LIBEL BILL. Sir C. O'LOGI ILEN moved the third reading of this bill. Mr. AYRTON opposed the motion, on the ground that the bill would prove detrimental to the liberty of the press. The effect of the bill would be too make persons more amenable to punishment for pn slander than at present, and that a person whop rinted the statftment should be exempt from punishment --a proposition he considered altogether unjust. The bill in his opinion depr i ve d the person libelled of all pro t ec ti o n, because all th a t was necessa r y to absolve the pr i n t e r 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 did not involve other parties. That, he contended, was altogether impossible ; and, as for proceeding against the speaker, it was quite o pen for a person to g ive 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. Re 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 he could find two responsible persons who would become sureties for the costs of the action. The bill seemed as if it had been drawn orateby newspaper pr he o prietors respectively for th eir own pction, without t i n general. The s li g htest regard to the rights of the p n ewspaper on t he üblic re sult of the bill would be to put a bad same footing as one conducted with care and ability, and therefore he hoped the house would reject the bill. C. O'LOGHLEN declined to f o ll o w the hon. gentle man into a discuss ion of the principle of the bill. T he meas ure had been fully considered by th e house, and h e considered that the hon. member had availed himself of an illegitimate means of defeating the bill. Mr. NEWDEGATE and Mr. WHALLEY opposed the bill. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL supported the bill, as he was of opinion that the measure contained many beneficial provisions. The Rouse divided , when there appeared-- For the third read in g —6l . 79 Against it 18 Majority in favo ur of the bill FAWNBROKING BILL. Th e motion for the se cond reading of this bill was with drawn. INCREASE OF THE EPISCOPATE BILL. On the motion for a going into committee on this bill, Mr. FAWCETT sid he had given notice of his inten tion in order to carry out the voluntary principle of moving the instruction, " That it be an instruction to the committee raised isos eunffidl ycbiyieonvrtotlhtueon provide voluntary ni s d u de b of s fo c rri thepal-1 that no now bishopric be founded under the provisions of o t t ltn eeoke i s ewinen, os : bttoe i hoiwl bishop, lehshhar u apoi nvicepEttx:i was expenses butt shall sKne ssEoucso SPEAKER provide oal t t s fl imohosalanr contrary l es thft b e ohbee: cathedral r.

The amendment was agreed to. The remaining clauses, with the exception of clause 9, which provided for the succession of the new bishops to seats in the II ouse of Lords, and which was stck out, wore agreed to, and the cha irman having reported ru the bill, the house resumed.
