MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is still an immense quantity of unemployed Money, and the rates of discount are consequently very low. Manufacturers and traders of all classes are working closely in their financial operations. Bankers and bill brokers are very eager to obtain b usiness, but borrowers, having it all their own W ay, merely Provide for their immediate require ment,. ir gold to the amount of £59,000 was taken to t he Bank of England yesterday. The Ptolemy, from the Brazils, has brought s Peeie and gold dust to the amount of £30,620. Messrs. J. Henry Schroder and Co., of Leaden hall -street, have announced the payment of the half Yearly interest due on the New Orleans, Jackson, a nd Great Northern Railroad Company's Second C onstruction Mortgage Bonds, payable in sterling 14 Landon. The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit tance of £920 on account of the dividends on the debt of Ecuador. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures 'Lave declined to 26 27, but the Consolidated Mortga ge Bonds have advanced I, to 23 23k. ,_The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the third week in August amounted to $120,262 against $141,965 in the cor responding period last year, showing a decrease of $21,703. At the meeting to-day of the London Bank of 4 lexico and South America the report of the direc tors for the six months, ended on the 30th June, st ated that they much regretted on the present ?ecasion they were not justified in declaring an loteritn dividend, but they were convinced that by retaining the profits to meet contingencies on doubtful accounts they will strengthen the position of the bank. Should the profits earned continue on t he present scale, the directors look forward to a more satisfactory statement of accounts at the next 14 „ e eting. The reserve fund had been transferred to 4 ","e "provision for bad and doubtful debts account," 'e amount of said provision now being £44,522, which the directors hope will be sufficient for all con tingencies. We record with deep regret the demise of Mr. J ohn Distin Powles, who has been so much asso e'ated with monetary and commercial affairs. For a considerable number of years he was connected 4 ! it h the London Docks, and retired from the secre nship with a very handsome pension. Since then, arid throughout his career, the deceased gentleman "It an active part in arranging, or endeavour 14g to arrange, the debts owing to British 1117restors from Spain and Spanish America. k e has been entrusted with several missions ",e Spain, and has li v ed to wit l ess the settlement of 11 e Certificate question, and we could wish he had `lived a little longer to have realised the liquidation °I the Passive debt likewise. Mr. Powles has died at an advanced a g e, a n d rather suddenly, although fo r 3. some time past it has been evident that his strength was failing. In former years Mr. Powles was connected with the South American trade, s pecially with Columbia, and at the period of his l e atil Was chairman of the Port Philip and Gold j it ling Company, the Victoria (London) Mining 1 041 Pany, and the St. John Del Rey Company. ~ " age of this talented gentleman exceeded 80 :ears. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets 111. ing the last few days there has been a moderate " t mliont of business transacted. Samples of the new Bea sou's crop of tea have been on offer, and sold r eadily at full rates. For sugar there has only been , Moderate inquiry, but superior qualities of West tid la have maintained former values. Coffee, ow ing to the large quantity announced for competi tl(M, together with the Dutch Company's monthly 4 9e, has been depressed ; while in rice, rum, and ii pPetre there has been no change of importance. Tallow has been neglected, and quotations for pre leot and forward delivery remain unaltered. Two O'CLOCK. S ales of stock have been made to-day in the m arket for Consols, and there is a consequent de tline of per cent. Investors arc doing very litt le, and the speculators, therefore, have it all the ir; own w ay.

Yesterday Geraldine Meurice, described as "a lady," of the Villa, Swanage, Dorsetsbire, a n d having the aliases of "Durant," " Hope," " Grant," " Mrs. Somerset," the " Hon. Mrs. Meurice," &c., charged with obtaining an emerald and diamond ring, and divers other articles of jewellery, of the value of £ll4, by means of false pretences, from Mr. Douglas Cave, jeweller, of Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, was again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt at the Marlborough-street Police -court. It may be remembered that on the last occasion it was stated that the prisoner, under different aliases, had been carrying on a most successful sys tem of fraud, and that she was taken into custody at Wareham, Dorsetshire, on a warrant obtained through the exertions of• Mr. Cave. She was re manded last week, that Sergeant Cole, of the C division, might proceed to Wareham to take posse s .. sion of the property obtained by the prisoner from the London tradesmen, a great deal being in her possession when she was taken into custody. Mr. Morgan, of the firm of Humphreys and Morgan, appeared for the prosecution ; and M r . Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, for the defence. Mr. Morgan said that by direction of his worship, Sergeant Cole went to Dorsetshire for the p urpose of having the property obtained from the London tradesmen given up to him, but the superintendent of police there for some reason or other declined to let him have it, and he had therefore to ask that the cass might be allowed to stand over till the super intendent could be served with a Crown subpo3na to produce the property. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he thought it was understood that the property was to be given up by the Dor setshire gentleman—that was the property obtained from the London tradesmen. Sergeant Cole said that. in Dorsetshire they could not understand the giving up of property. They had an idea that all the property found in th e prisoner's house belonged to her. Mr. Morgan said he would settle the matter by sending the superintendent a Crown subpoena. He was prepared to go on with one case, that of obtain ng goods from Madame Mittens, milliner, of Ber ners-street, the prisoner representing herself to Madame Ruttens as the Hon. Mrs. Meurice. Madame Ruttens, believing the prisoner was the Hon. Mrs. Meurice, entrusted her with goods. On a future occasion he should be prepared with other cases. Madame Ruttens, wife of Mr. George Ruttens, of 64, Berners-street, Oxford-street, said--I know the prisoner as the Hon. Mrs. Meurice. She called upon me in July last, coming in a private carriage, and after telling me that she had been an invalid for seven years, and.that she had been lying on a sofa during that time, she said she wanted to be restored, and that she wanted some articles in the fashion, as she did not know what • was going on in London. She told me that she was the Hon. Mrs. Meurice, and I asked her to write her name in a book, and she did so. lam in the habit of asking customers to do so. Amongst other articles the prisoner ordered was a blue velvet dressing gown trimmed with antique lace. I told her that I gave no credit, and she said she would pay for the goods on deli very, and that she always did so. Some of the goods—two bonnets, two dresses, and a crinoline, altogether of the value of £7 Bs.—were forwarded, some being taken by the porter and some by m yself. When I took the goods home I saw a squinting maid; and asked to see the Hon. Mrs. Meurice. I gave some of the goods to the prisoner and some to the maid. I afterwards sent to say that I could not send the other portion of the goods till I had been paid for the first. I went a few days afterwards and was told that the Hon. Mrs. Meurice could not be seen, and on going to the house subsequently she was gone, and I have not seen her since till she was in custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was it believing that she was the Hon. Mrs. Meurice that you entrusted her with the goads ? Madame Ruttens—Yes. I should not have let her have the goods if I had not thought I should be paid on delivery. By M.r. Lewis—l let her have the goods because I thought she would pay me on delivery. I give credit if I think persons are respectable, and give a reference. Mr. Morgan—l have to ask that the prisoner may be ordered to remove her veil, as there are persons in court, I am informed, who believe that if she does so they can identify her. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l do not think I can interfere with the prisoner's veil. Any person wishing to see the prisoner with the view of identifying her will have an opportunity of doing so when she leaves the court. Inspector Draper—Persons cannot identify her with her veil over her face. (The prisoner wore a thick veil.) Madame Mittens, in answer to Mr. Lewis, said— I do not know what is the prisoner's right name. I did make inquiries about her, and was told by her baker, grocer, &c., that she was in the habit of paying them. Had she left out the " honourable" when she wrote her name I do not think I should have let her have the goods. Mr. Morgan—Upon this I shall ask for a remand. Mr. Lewis.—There is a story about that the prisoner, while in custody in Wareham, attempted to commit suicide. I wish to state that nothing o f the kind really occurred. The prisoner put on a dress which had been altered, and a needle, which had been accidentally left in it, penetrated the pri soner's breast. The prisoner, who was accommodated with a seat, and kept her face concealed from a large number of persons in court, amongst whom were several tradesmen who had been victimised by her, was then again. remanded.

WESTMINSTER. A VEXED PAROCHIAL AFFAIR. —Mr. Wm. Par nell, a cheesemonger, of 90, King's-road, Chelsea, was summoned by Mr. Inspector Harbon, of the B Division, for obstructing the footway with cheese, butter, &c. Mr. Abrams appeared for the defendant. George Coxstead, 321 B, proved the offence—the things projected 31 feet. • In cross-examination, the constable said the pavement was very wide (22 feet). No one was actually obstructed. The things were over a grating. Mr. Abrams contended th a there was no obstruc- tion in law. The pavement was 22 feet wide, and while the alleged obstruction took place, the ground had not been paved by the parish, although they had summoned Mr. Parnell two years ago, and ob tained a conviction of the costs. Mr. Selfe said he did not care whether auy indi vidual had been obstructed. The public rights had been encroached upon. Supposing a man stuck up a stick in a turnpike road 100 feet wide, although A B and C were not actually obstructed, it was, in law, an obstruction of the thoroughfare. Mr. Abrams said the defendant's neighbours did it as well as he, and requested an adjournment in order that Mr. Selfe should visit the spot and see for himself. A summons taken out against Mr. Francis Wal ker, a neighbouring fishmonger, for trespassing 4i feet on the footway with herrings, oysters, ducks, chickens, &c., was also gone into and proved by the same constable. Mr. Horton said all the ground trespassed upon belonged to the public. The summonses were adjourned till Monday. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WILFUL DAMAGE AT THE NEWPORT MARKET REFUGE.—John Neal, a boy, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with wilful damage at the Newport Market Refuge. Lauchlan M'Gregor, porter at the Refuge, said that yesterday evening he heard the breaking of glass, and on going outside the refuge he saw the prisoner in custody. Police-constable Newby, 160 C, said that yester day evening he saw the prisoner climbing up to the window of the refuge and smash a pane of glass with his hand, and he then took him into custody. There had been great complaints of the boys about the refuge. _ _ Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was sheer mischief and nothing else breaking a window at a refuge where poor persons were obliged to go. He should order the prisoner to pay the damage and a fine of ss. PARISH PROSECUTION OF BROTHEL KEEPERS.— George Theodore and Mary Howell were brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant by Sergeant Appleton, of the C division, charged with keeping disorderly houses at No. 1, Earl's-court and No. 15, Ryder's-court. Mr. Allen, of Carlisle-street, Soho, prosecuted on the part of St. Ann's parish, and Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the pri soners. Sergeant Appleton proved that the prisoners were the keepers of the houses in question, and the per sons named in the warrant. The prisoners were committed for trial, the usual bail in such cases being agreed to be taken. BURGLARY.—Robert Bartlett was charged with stealing some coats and other articles from the Port land Hotel, Great Portland-street. Edward Fitzgerald, porter at the Portland Hotel, said--This morning between three and four o'clock, I heard a noise at the hotel, and on going down stairs found the prisoner getting out of the kitchen window into the area, and before I could seize hold of his legs he got out into the area, havifig done so through a hole in the window where a large pane of glass had been broken. The prisoner then made off. I went through the kitchen and got into the area, and by the time I did so the prisoner was going up the steps with a bundle in his hand, and ho then got off over the railings. I called " Police," and the prisoner ran across the lane and went into a door way, and was there taken into custody. Mr.. Tyrwhitt—Has he been a waiter at the hotel ? - • Witness—No, sir. Mr. Tyrwhitt —had he made the hole hirger ? Witness—Yes. lie had broken more of the glass. James Curtis, a waiter at the hotel, identified a coat and other articles as his property, an I a coat and other articles as the property of a fellow waiter. Henry Wybrow, 79 E, said—l heard a cry of " Police" this morning, and went after the prisoner and saw him putting on his boots. Several of the articles produced the prisoner had in his pockets, and he also had a bundle with him. I took him back to the hotel, and the first witness identified the articles as the property of persons at the hotel, and the prisoner then said that he had taken the pro perty from the hotel. The witness Fitzgerald said that he had omitted to state that the prisoner had no boots on when he was getting out of the window. Mr. Welsh, the office keeper, in answer to the Magistrate, who wished to know if anything was known of the prisoner, said he was well known, but he could not prove any conviction against him. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after cautioning the prisoner, who had nothing to say, committed him for trial, stating that if there were auy convictions they could be proven at the sessions. SHARE LlST—This Day.

FRIGHTFUL CASE OF CUTTING AND WOUNDING. — John Spauberg, a German sailor, aged 43, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with cutting and wounding C. R. Doyle, his shipmate, on board the New York packet ship Rhine. The prisoner is a most extraordinary stern-looking fellow, and stood with his arms folded over his breast in one fixed attitude during the whole investigation, and never spoke a word. A short time before the Rhine left New York for England the prisoner was released from prison, where he had been confined six mouths j for assaulting and wounding a man. On Tuesday, at 12 o'clock, the crew of the Rhine were having dinner in the forecastle, and Doyle asked the prisoner "Is all the dinner here ?" The prisoner made no answer. Doyle pushed him with his foot, and said, " You won't give any one a civil answer." The prisoner rose from his seat, walked across the deck, followed by Doyle, who asked him again why he did not give him a civil answer. The prisoner immediately struck the prosecutor on the neck with his knife, inflicting a serious wound. The wounded man fell to the deck, and was afterwards carried to the surgery of Mr. David Ross, surgeon, No. 175, High-street, Shad well, where his wound was dressed. An assistant to Dr. Ross described the wound, which he said was a drawn cut 5 inches long and half an inch in depth at the back of the neck. In answer to Mr. Benson, the prosecutor said the prisoner aimed at his throat, but he dodged him and received the blo w on the neck. Mr. Benson committed the prisoner for trial. WANTON ASSAULT.—John Ivory, an Irish labourer, was charged with a ssau l t i ng Mr. John Hughes, an accountant, living at Birlenhead, in Cheshire. The complainant, whose face was marked, said he was passing along Grundy-street, Poplar, in company with two friends, when the priioner with out the least provocation struck him a violent blow on the face with his fist. Mr. Benson—And ►narked your face in the way I now see. Mr. Iluglies—Yes, sir. The prisoner said he was very sorry. 1-16 did not know why he struck the gentleman. lie was drank. Mr. Hughes was recalLi, and said the prisoner was quite sober. Mr. Benson—A most wanton assault quite un provoked. I fine the prisoner ss. PLANTS GROWING ON THE SIDE OP A HOUSE. — At a corner house in Wilton-street, at the Grosvenor-place end, a curious phenomenon may be seen in the shape of a number of cruciferous plants looking like turnips, which grow by the side of a water-pipe, in a line from the top to the bottom of the house, from between the corners of brick work, which has been recently placed there. Some of these plants must bo a foot high, and they have been growing in this singular situation for more than a month.—Land and Wato THE ALLIANCE BETWEEN AUSTRIA 'AND FRANCE. (From the Univers.) In his last letter our Austrian correspondent told us that, according to all appearance, the in terview at Salzburg would result in an alliance between the two Powers. To-day we are in a position to give this result as positive, in spite of the assertions to the contrary of the friends of peace at all price, or of the friends of Prussia, and in spite also of the equivocal language of the officious papers. It is not only a perfect under standing on all the great political questions which preoccupy Europe ; it is more than that—it is an alliance between France and Austria. Although the articles of 'this alliance are shrouded in my stery, it may at least be surmised that it was love of peace at any price which dictated its stipula- tions. And how could it be otherwise? How an alliance between these two Powers—the one of which must needs efface certain black spots which have darkened the horizOn of France, and the other is obliged to put forth all its strength to blot out large and deep stains, and to free itself from the stifling pressure of two terrible polypus which seek to absorb and destroy Austria—how, we say, would not an alliance between these two Powers compel them to hold themselves in readiness for all even tualities ? Yet this alliance, so necessary for Austria—this affiance between the noble French nation and the Austrian Empire, so much desired by the true friends of Austria—why is it that they may not rejoice over it with all their heart, and welcome it with the enthusiasm which it seems to deserve ? First, because many of the friends of Austria believe that it is too late ; others whom past events render mistrustful fear lest the advan tages it promises should all be on the side of France, and generally they doubt whether this alliance rests on a solid basis offering a guarantee of durability. Putting aside all that on the part' of France could inspire these fears and justify these doubts, our correspondent at Vienna states why the system of government introduced into Austria, on whom an imperial decree has con ferred the second rank, or, rather, excepting some formalities of etiquette, the first at the Imperial Court does not offer to enlightened men in Austria guarantees that in this alliance account will be ,aken of the real interests of Austria. These interests are involved in three great and vital questions—the German question, the Oriental and Sclavonic question, and the home question. It is necessary to know what is the policy of the Baron de Beust in order to comprehend the misgiving which his policy inspires. To speak first of the German question : —The unity of Germany under Prussia is the death of Austria. Who will deny this truth ? Prussia, the arbiter and supreme master of the Confederation of North Germany, will seek to extend its domination over the South, in order to establish this unity to its own profit. This •is no longer doubtful. The Treaty of Prague, it is urged, will prevent it from accomplishing this object, and the strict maintenance of this treaty is one of the stipulations, it is said, of the Austro- French alliance. But is this treaty still intact ? Have its stipulations been carried out according to the spirit in which they were framed? To begin with where is the Confederation of South Ger many? It is true that the countries beyond the main are not yet incorporated in the Confederation of the North; but how much of their indepen dence is there still left to them to lose before they descend to the level of the States which are now the vassals of Prussia, not to speak of Baden, whose government deserves nothing better than to abdicate in favour of Prussia. Prussia, owing to the alliance offensive and defensive between itself on the one part, and Bavaria and Wurtemberg cn the other, can, in case of war, dispose of the armies of these two kingdoms ; whilst in Hesse-Darmstadt a military convention makes Prussia absolute mistress of the forces of the country, and of the most important fortress of Germany. We may add, that even in time of peace the telegraph and the post-ofliee are in its hands, in the same manner as in the Confederation 'of the North. Moreover, the new Zollvere.iTi, with its Parliament, places the money of these countries at the disposition of Prussia—for instance, the tax on salt and on tobacco. The former Zollverein, as is known, was the most efficacious means in the hands of Prussia to prepare what the events of the past year have accomplished. The new Zollverein will serve to bring about the completion of the work. The Prussian eagle, who holds in one of its talons the bleeding heart of Saxony, has boldly extended the other beyond the Main, and in this fashion it awaits a favourable moment for seizing with both its claws on all the German lands lying between Bodenbach and Vienna. What, up to the present, has Baron de Beust done to prevent this progress of Prussia in the Southern States of Germany? What means has he brought to bear on their Governments to parry the clever attempts of Count Bismarck? Nothing. What has he done to facilitate the formation of the Confederation of the South desirable, if not in the interest of a united Germany, yet at least in the interest of Austria excluded from Germany ? Nothing. The official organ of the Bavarian Ministry has given him, on this score, a certificate of good behaviour —good, that is to say, for Prussia. But perhaps the Austro-French affiance will make good what has been done against the treaty of Prague. Baron Beust had not the courage to give his passports to Baron de Werther, after the fa - m.ous despatch which that diplomatist sent to Count Bismarck on the coronation of the King of Hungary, and in which he offered insults to Austria. Perhaps encouraged by the alliance with France, Baron de Beust will display more energy; perhaps he will henceforth give his attention more to the true needs of Austria without sacrificing the smallest interest of his new country to those ideas .of a united Germany with which he has hitherto been infected. Perhaps he may become convinced that what was to the in terest of Austria at the time of the interview of Villafranca is no longer so at the time of the inter view of Salzburg, when Austria against her will finds herself expelled from Germany. This is possible, but we doubt much whether it be . so. Neither the past of Baron de Beust permits us to hope for the radical conversion of the ex-Minister of Saxony, nor does his present conduct convince us that rancour against Prussia has effected such a change 'in his ideas and aspirations. As for the past it is too well known to need alluding to here ; and as for the present the proverb applies—" Tell me who are your friends, and I will tell you what you are." ' Corvus corvo assidet. But who are the friends and promoters of the political system of Baron de Beust? They are the men of the Liberal German party—the men who compose the actual majority of the Reichsrath, the men whose ideas prevail in most of the Austrian journals. And what are the ideas which the leaders of this party enter tain in respect to Germany--ideas which they seek to impose by means of their organs on all the German population of Austria? They may be summed up in these few words : Do nothing that may throw an obstacle in the way of development of the unifying organization of Germany. What M. Nefftzer, in a letter inserted in his journal, the Temps, said of the deputies of the Reichsrath is but too true : "The deputies," he said, "being assembled to deliberate on the welfare of Austria, discussed the question whether there was any chance of seeing its German provinces united to Prussia without perceiving anything repugnant in such a reunion." But M. Nefftzer is just as cor rect when he observes " that the Minister in relying on his majority alienates the non-Germans of Aus tria." Let us add that he contributes by such a policy to the dissolution of the empire, and, never theless, it is just this majority with whom Baron de Beust identifies himself ; it is their leaders whom he calls in to share with him the burden of power. ELECTION OF LORD MATOR.—The election of Lord Mayor will take place on Saturday, 28th instant, Michaelmas-day falling on Sunday. All the aldermen who have filled the office of sheriff are eliBible, but it is not at all likely that the usual custom of electing tho next in rota tion will be departed from, consequently the civic mantle Will fall upon Alderivau Allen, of the Ward of Gliettp, The Murder at Clapham. INQUEST THIS DAY. Mr. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, held an adjourned inquest at the Duke of Clarence Tavern, Penton-place, Kennington, respecting the death of Benjamin Graves, who it was alleged was murdered by a man named Morgan. It will be remembered that this was a neighbours' quarrel. The parties resided in Hants-court, Clapham, and on Sunday morning there was a disturbance in the next garden, and the wife of deceased heard her husband say that he had been stabbed by Morgan. After some con firmatory evitlenc3, the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Morgan. .111PPING INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

[A.DTERTISENIENT.] Holloway's Pills. Confidential Advice.—To all persons who suffer from bilious head aches, 'disordered stomach, biliousness, or flatulency, these pills are most strongly recommended as the safest, best, and quickest mode of obtaining ease without weakening or irritating the nervous system. Holloway's pills are espe cially useful in clearing away any excess of bile, which usually produces fever unless remedial measures be adopted' without delay. In asthma, bronchitis, and congestion of the lungs they may be relied upon for removing danger ; and, by purifying and regulating the circulation, they feffectually prevent relapse. So by rousing the liver to a lair secretion of bile, and by q uickl y carrying it off from the system, these pills ward off low spirits, listlessness, and hose distressing feelings often called nervous.
