MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The directors of the Bank of England at their weekly court to-day have found it unnecessary to make any change in the minimum rate of discount. In the general market the transactions are of mo derate extent, and the quotations continue steady. There were no gold operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. With regard to the bullion market, Messrs. Sharps and Wilkins state as follows :—" Since our last the silver market has been exceedingly quiet with a gradually weakening tendency, as the Continental Exchanges continued to rise. The quotation to-day is ss. id. per oz. standard. Mexican dols. have fallen considerably in price, more on account of the large actual and an ticipated supplies than from any absolute cessation of the Eastern demand, which has, however, decidedly slackened within the last few days. It appears probable that some considerable amount of Mexican dollars will still be taken for China, though the future effect of this demand on the price will almost entirely depend upon the extent of the arrivals of these coins. The quotation to-day is 4s. Hid. per oz. The inquiry for gold for export has been only on a moderate scale, the large receipts from abroad having allowed some parcels of importance to be sold to the Bank of England. The supplies from New York are not likely to continue extensive, the exchange having declined to a point at which there is little or no profit on the exportation." The City of Boston has arrived from New York with about £25,000 in specie. Th. last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in mune' figures as under :- 1867. 1866. 84,596 81,546 ... —141,171 133,134 31,274 29,414 ... 33,403 29,665 Great Western ••• North Western ...

On the Great Western the increase amounts to £3,050; on the North-Western, to £8,037 ; on the South- Western, to £1,860 ; on the Brighton, to £3,738 ; on the Midland, to £7,283 ; on the South-Eastern, to £3,673 ; on the Great Northern, to £712; on the Lancashire and Yorkshire, to £2,505; on the Bristol and Exeter, to £740 ; on the North British, to 8 35 ; on the North-Eastern, to £6,699 ; on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, to £2,017 ; on the Great Eastern, to £2,357 ; on the Metropolitan, to £542 ; and on the London, Chatham, and Dover, to £515. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have declined 1, to 23 25 ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds to 21 22. Two o'CLocK. The market for the English Funds is still rather unsteady, and the change in the weather is the principal cause. Several "bull" accounts have been closed, the speculators being anxious in many cases to realise their profits at once now that the advance appears to have received a decided check. But there is no very important reaction, it merely amounts to 4 per cent., which, after the recent rapid rise, is just as might have been expected on the appearance of any adverse symptom. Consols are, at the last moment, stronger than they were early in the day, the latest prices being 944 for transfer, and 94,1 for the account..

A decision on this very important appeal, which involves so many interests, was given this morning. It will be remembered that the appellants, Oakes and Peak, the younger, were shareholders in the company of Overend and Gurney, and when that company stopped payment they were placed upon the list of contributories. On this an appeal was made to the Vice-Chancellor Malins against such a course, on the ground that the appellants were in duced to become shareholders by fraudulent repre sentations. The Vice-Chancellor refused to inter fere, and the present appeal was made. The Lord Chancellor said that at the time the firm of Overend and Gurney became a company they were in an apparently flourishing condition, and it was stated that at the end of the year 1860 the division of profits amounted to £190,000. N o doubt the directors of the company thought that if they could obtain fresh capital by inducing share holders to join they would be able to make it pay ; but as they had to make the experiment with other people's money as well as their own they ought to have given a full explanation, and that they did not do so he must consider as an improper course. They appellants alleged that they did not know that they were placed as shareholders, that the company was incorporated on 22d June, and it was agreed to hold no meeting for ten months, and in the meantime the company was wound up. This would involve an investigation of what were the terms of the Winding-up Act of 1862. His lordship then entered into an elaborate disquisition as to what constituted a contributory, and quoted a great number of recent decisions which had taken place. He said that if a share holder were registered, and had taken the shares with his own consent, he must be considered a con tributory, and if it was alleged that he had not signed the articles of agreement, it was his own fault. At the conclusion the Lord Chancellor said his judgment would be for affirming the decree of "Vice-Chancellor Mathis, with this variation, that each appellant would bear his own costs. lie should therefore move their lordships to dismiss the appeal. Lord Cranworth and Lord Colonsay concurred. Appeal dismissed. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) MR. POTTER AND HYDE PARK DEMONSTRATIONS.- JONES V. POTTER. This was an action to recover the hire of a certain room in which meetings were held upon the subject of the Reform Demonstration in Hyde Park. Mr. Cooke appeared for the defendant, and pleaded that the defendant never hired the hall at all. Plaintiff said that at the time the ball was hired Mrs. Jones carried on the Sussex Hotel, in which the room was situated. A trade-union meeting was held at the house, and Mr. Potter's clerk came round and hired the room fora meeting in order to organise the Reform Demonstration in Hyde Park. At the meeting Mr. Potter attended, and took an active part. In cross-examination plaintiff said that the room was not taken by a committee, but by Mr Potter. He knew nothing of any committee. Mr. Cooke said he should prove by evidence that his client never engaged the room at all. Plaintiff—Why Mr. Potter offered to pay the money if I would forego the costs. His Honour—l suppose it does not matter who pays this money. It comes out of one fund, does it not ? Mr. Cooke—Oh, no ; it comes out of the corn mittee fund. Plaintiff—Defendant promised to pay. Mr. Cooke—That was entirely without prejudice. His Honour—The money is in court. It appears to be only a matter of temper. Two members of the committee were called, and deposed that they took the room ; one of those gen tlemen deposed that he had expressly agreed with Mrs. Jones in the name of the committee. Mr. Potter said he was a member of the Reform League, and had sometimes taken the chair at the meetings. Ile took great interest in the question. He never hred the room either by himself or his agent. It via not likely he should make himself liable for a sum of money of this kind. His Honour—You see that John Thomas has sworn that he made the arrangement with your mother on behalf of the committee, and your mother is not here to contradict him. Plaintiff—My son has applied to Mr. Potter several times for this money, and he has promised to pay it. Mr. Potter—l deny it. Plaintiff— Why, I have asked him myself, and he has promised to settle it. His Honour—But Thomas swears distinctly he hired the room for the committee. I must nonsuit the plaintiff. Plaintiff—l can assure your Honour that Potter said he would settle after the Reform demonstration in llyde-park. Defendant—l never said so. His Honour—l must nonsuit the plaintiff, who must sue the committee. Mr. Cooke—Will your Honour allow costs ? His Honour—Certainly not. Ido not consider that it is at all a matter in which I ought to grant costs. Plaintiff nonsuited, but no costs granted de feudant. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN RE LONGBOTTO3I. This bankrupt was described as a director of a public company, residing at Hammersmith, and to day was appointed for the last examination and order of discharge.

A SON CHARGED BY HIS FATHER. —SamueI Mears, described as " a schoolmaster, no home," was charged before Mr. Knox by his father, Mr. Jacob Mears, tailor, of 63, King-street, Soho, with creat ing a disturbance and wilfully damaging a door. ' The complainant said that the prisoner, who was his son, and who had been a great trouble to him, came to his house yesterday and created a great dis turbance, and smashed the panels of a door. A brother of the prisoner, after giving similar evidence to the father, said the prisoner was in the habit of carrying a razor and a knife about with him and he had threatened to murder him. The pri soner was 33 years of age, and had travelled nearly all over the globe, but would not work, and all he thought of doing was drinking and smoking. Sergeant Appleton, 26 C, said that on being called to the house of the complainant he found the panels of a door broken in, and in consequence of the family stating that they apprehended danger from the prisoner he took him into custody, and found upon him a knife and a razor. In answer to Mr. Knox, the brother stated that he was afraid of the prisoner, as he knew he always carried a knife and razor about with him. The prisoner said he had never cost his father a pe nny. He was apprenticed by the Hospital where he had been brought up and received a good educa tion, and as he was disappointed in finding work at his trade he went out to India in the 3d Dragoon Guards, and while there he fell from his horse through sunstroke, and was afterwards invalided.. On his return home his family told him that he did not belong to them. He had been to Africa, and while there was a schoolmaster. In answer to Mr. Knox, the sergeant said that, living near the complainant, he thought from what he had seen there was danger to be expected from the prisoner, whose mind he believed was affected. The prisoner said it was his family's unkindness to him that affected him. The brother said his father would have the pri soner home but for his bad conduct and language. Mr. Knox said he would deal with the case before him as one of wilful damage, and order the prisoner to pay the amount or 14 days. If he an noyed his family again they could complain at the Court. WESTMINSTER. ALLEGED VIOLENT ASSAULTS BY A FOREIGN SERVANT.—SiIas Silas, butler to Major Champagne, of Belgrave-cottage, Eaton-square, was charged on a warrant with assaulting Ellen Ingram, the Major's housemaid. The housemaid said that the Major and Mrs. Champagne went to Ryde last week, and left the prisoner, herself, and the cook at home. On Mon day from 2 till 11 o'clock she was left in charge of the house, and when he came home at 11 he ordered her to bed ; she said she wanted to go and get her supper beer, and went out for that purpose; when she returned she knocked and rang, and was net admitted by the prisoner, and she then opened the door with a latch-key belonging to a friend of the major's. The prisoner called her into his bedroom and asked her why she had opened the door; she ex plained, and he threw her out of his room and kicked her. On the Tuesday the major discharged her, and on the same evening she went to get her boxes, and. while in the house the prisoner tried to throw her over the banisters, and said he.would kill her. She then applied for a warrant, he having again assaulted her. Prisoner, who is evidently a Greek, sa id he had been in Major Champagne's eervice seven years. On the Monday Ingram was drunk, and had a man in the house. his master had left him in charge of the house, and he wished to see all was right. He denied the assault ; said the complainant, being drunk, fell down; and that on the Monday he did not assault her. She had b rou g ht the house into disgrace. In reply to Mr. Arnold, the complainant addadmitted that part of the Major's b rand y was gone, aat her brother-iu7law was at the door. Mr. Arnold adjourned the warrant till Saturday, for the attendance of the Major and cook, n re and al - lowed the prisonerto go at large ou his owco nisances.

Yesterday David Johnson, otherwise Williamson, a respectably-dressed young man of 21, who had been arrested on a warrant, was charged before the Lord Mayor at the Justice-room of the Mansion house with being concerned in forging notes of the Union Bank of Scotland. W. Murray . , instructed by Mr. Mullens, solicitor to the London Bankers' Protection Association, was counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. Buchanan, solici tor, of Basinghall-street, defended the prisoner. On the evening of Saturday week the prisoner, who had been for some weeks, without his knowledge, under the observation of three of the City detective police—namely, Sergeant Moss, Inspector Foulger, and Constable Green—was apprehended at a public house in Middle-row, Holborn, and charged with being implicated in the forgery in question. He re plied in a jocose manner th a some things had been left with him for half an hour by a min named Smith, who hal promised to return to him. At the 'Same time lie took a parcel from his pocket, which, on being opened, was found to contain two copper plates, ou one of which was engraved the back part, and on the other the front of a £5 note of the Union Bank of Scotland. On being asked if he ha I seen these implements before he replied in the affirmative, but that he knew nothing more about them than that they had been left with him by the man Smith. He also took from his pocket a proof impression of a £5-note of the same bank, and a piece of tracing paper. On being searched 20 keys, one of which fitted a padlock produced in court, were found upon him among other things, and in a portmanteau at his lodgings, the address of which he gave, a £2O bank note and £3O in Scotch notes were found, as also a ticket, dated the 21st of June, for luggage left at the North-Western Railway station in Euston-square. The luggage was in three packets, and contained a cash-box, 61 cameos, a dressing case and fittings, many costly articles of jewelry and wearing apparel, a check book of Cun - life and Co.'s bank, Manchester, a breech-loading double-barelled gun, with fittings complete in case, another double-barrelled gun, double action, in a leathern case, and a five-chambered rev - aver, with fittings complete. Inspector Foulger, of the City police, deposed that on the 20th of June two men, named Smith and Zellman, called upon him and made a state ment, upon which witness gave them instructions to act. He saw Smith again next day, and both of them on the 26th of June. From that time to the apprehension of the prisoner he repeatedly saw them, and communicated the result of his inter views from time to time to Mr. Mullens, the so licitor to the prosecution. The padlock !pro duced, and which a key found on the prisoner fitted was attached to a front kitchen in the basement of a house in the Gray's-inn-road, and was locked when witness nd a Serg e ant Moss went there. There they found a lithographic printing press and a copper plate printing press with all the necessary appliances, and with some damped paper and char coal. On one piece of the paper there were wavy lines, and an attempt had been made to colour some of it. He had frequently seen the prisoner go into his lodgings in Shaftesbury-street,New North-road, but never into the basement referred to in Gray's inn-road. The principal witness yesterday was Richard Smith, a die-sinker and engraver at 4, Upper North street, Northampton-square. He said,—On the evening of the 17th of June the prisoner called upon me at my house, accompanied by a man named Zellman. I had never seen the prisoner before, but I had known Zellman previously for five or six years by meeting him at places of amusement. Zellman said Jackson (the prisoner) was a friend of his, and he introduced him to me to do some business. After some desultory conversation I left the house with them, and Jackson asked me if I could engrave a plate. I replied that would de pend upon what the plate was for. Zellman told the prisoner to give me a note. The prisoner took a paper from his pocket and a gave it to me. It was a £5-note of the Union Bank of Scot land. I handed it back to him, having pre viously examined it minutely, and said to him and Zellman it was a very serious busineis. They were then in a public-house in Charles-street, City-road. I also said there was great r isk. The prisoner replied, " There was no risk, and no chance of d e t ec tion, as there were only four pe rsons engaged in the affair—viz., Zellman, himself, a banker from Australia, and myself." Zellman said I was to receive £2O for engraving the plate, and £3OO when it was finished. I said the plates could not be cut in less than six weeks. The prisoner replied that would be too long. We were then standing at the bar of the publichouse, but a little aside from other persons who were there. I asked the prisoner and Zell man what amount of notes they required. The prisoner said from £20,000 to £30,000 worth. I said I could not give a decided answer then whether I would engrave the plate, but I appointed to meet Zellman at my house next day. The prisoner took the note away. They were in the publ ic-house together about half an hour. Next evening Zellma,n called at my house with two friends, one of whom I be lieve was named Corvan, and ide thande other Zellman came I did not see. The friends waited outs, into my room. He staid there about twenty minutes, and then left. The prisoner was ot t here on that occasion. On the following evenn ing Zellman, who was alone, called at was my h ous e, and the subject of the plates again talked about. That was Wednesday, the 19th. I went with Zellman to the City-road to keep an appointment he had made with the pri soner. We found the prisoner waiting there, and all three went to a public-house in Sheperdess walk. There the prisoner asked me if it was a ll settled. I replied in the affirmative. Zellman asked me how much money I should want. I said I should want £ 5 be f o re I be g an the plates. Zell man said I must try and make it £3. I refused. The prisoner then gave me £5 in gold, and the Scotch note previously shown to me, saying as he did so, " That is business." He asked how long it would , take to complete the two plates for the note, back and front. I replied six weeks at least. The pri soner said that was m uch too long, and that has e wan ted them done in th ree' weeks. sa id that w impossible, efbtutthle wpuoublidichtroyustion,dadnod tohnetnstiidne atiTeonptrhi_. e take should a t a s s h ot o ie w r in a g sk l e n d e ma eshifeeltcooufldthgeertecithiipsiatpeesrizfo3.r thieionoatlesos, when the plates were finished. s inquired if I could arrange for printing laid thel could s and do the best I could. give no decided answer the It but would wsoauglgdestteryd by the prisoner that I s iu the evening from my residence plates.

We w ent to a pub there I played a game at billiards with 'Leh man. I then went home with the plate and the note. I next saw the prisoner and Zellman on Monday, the 21th, at my house, whore they came together about 8 o'clock in the evening. I showed them the copperplate for the back of the note, a part of which I had then engraved. The prisoner looked at it and said he should like to have seen more done, but that he was satisfied with the work so far as it had been done. I asked him for £lO. He said he had not got £lO upon, him, but would pro cure it by the evening. He showed me a £1 Scotch note of the Union Bank,. stating that the signature of the cashier was more distinct than on the £5 note he had previously given me. Ikept the note for the purpose of copying the signature, which was intended to be engraved on the plate. It was a written signature. Zellman and the prisoner then left, and I saw them together later in the evening iu the London Assurance publichouse, City-road, when the prisoner gave me £lO in sovereigns, some of which were Australian. I gave /5 of the money to Zellman after we' had left the publichouse. I saw the prisoner again on the following Tuesday,• between 9 and 10 in the evening, in the Eagle publichouse, and told him the plate would not be ready until the end of the week. He said he was very sorry, as the fourth party was getting very suspicious, owing to the delay. Nothing more took place on that occasion. On S Lturday, the 29th, I saw the prisoner again at my house. He was then alone. I showei him the plate, and he com plained that sufficient of th) engraving had not been done. He sail he s'tenl,l ❑ot wait to see tha plate again until tha mi 1 lle of tha week. Ze.ll - was not then with him. The reason he assigned for not wanting it again until the middle of the week was that the oth ;r party had gone to Glasgow, and would not return until then. Ile also said he had written for a new note, as the one I had was diflisralt to decipher. At that time I had not baguu to work on the other plate. I next saw the prisoner on the 3d of July, about one in the afternoon, in Tottenham-court-road, where I met him and Zellman by appointment. I then told the prisoner I had the plate to show him, and we went with him and Zellman to a publichouse in Holborn to show it to them. There I produced the plate from my pocket, and showed it to the prisoner, Zellman being present. He seemed satis fied with the progress made in it. At this stage the examination of the witness was suspended, and the Lord Mayor remanded the pri soner until Thursday next, Aug. 22. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COUNIONS-LAST EVENING. - - - Tho SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES (ANIMALS) ACT. The house wont into committee on this bill, when Lord R. ItIoNTAGu stated that it had been decided to make no 'exemption in favour of either Harwich or Southampton, with respect to importation and slaughter of foreign cattle.

A short discussion arose on the point, but in deference to the wishes of many hon. members it was withdrawn, and the bill was reported to the house with amendments. POOR LAW BOARD, &c., BILL. _ _ _ The Lords' amendments to this bill wore considered. Ultimately the standing orders were suspended, and the bill was read a third time and passed. APPROPRIATION BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. TRA FFIC REGULATION (METROPOLIS) BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. LAWRENCE objected to a bill of such importance being pressed forward at that advanced period of the ses sion. It was a measure that greatly affected traders in general, and the result of it would be to enhance the prior of the necessaries of life. It had been hanging up ever since March last, and it was the ieneral impression amongst hon. gentlemen who had left town that the bill would not be proceeded with during the present session. He contended that the bill was not for the regulation of the traffic, but for the effectual suppressing of a great por tion of it. It was an attempt to sort the traffic of the metropolis, and to decide what kind of vehicle should travel along the public highway. He thought that the evidence of Sir R. Mayne on the subject showed that the traffic of the metropolis had outgrown his ability to deal with it, and that many of his recommendations were perfectly absurd. Sir R. Mayne suggested that coal, for • instance, should only be delivered at night, but the condi tions he laid down were ridiculous; and in answer to a question that was put to him whether those regulations would not increase the price of coal, Sir Richard said it might to the extent of about is. a ton. He treated that as a very light matter, but when it was considered tha out of the coal tax of l s . lid. per ton London bridge had b een built, and many great streets in the city had been widened and improved, he (Mr. Lawrence) did not think the im- Position of such a tax on the consumer was such an in significant matter as the Chief Commissioner of Police seemed to imagine. Similar sagacious recommendations were embodied in the bill with respect to tho delivery of wine, and altogether it was such an objectionable pro- Position that he should and't his to give it his most determined opposition, he moved that the bill be read a second time that day three months. Sir J. FERGUSON said it was desirable that some at tempt should be made to deal with the street traffic of the metropolis. The bill proposed to do noarliament more thanused was sufficient to e ff ect that object, and if P ref to consider the matter it would bo tacitly giving its assent to the continuance of a state of things whch he contended was disgr ac efullo the me tropolis. He ll ped the house would assent to the second reading of the bill, in orderthat the bill might be further considered in comm theittee, might when the objections th at had been raised against bill if possible be removed. (Rear, hear.) Mr. LOCKE thought there were some clauses in the bill it would be impossible to "darry into effect, especially those relating to the removal of Ww and the delivery of coal. Mr. LAWRENCE said, po rt ic os te Government had con sented to reconsider certain of the bill, he would withdraw his motion. The bill was then read without a division. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENT BILL.

Mr. HARDY stated that he should have no objection to the withdrawal of the first clause, by which public meet ings in tho parks wore prohibited. The effect of such a step would be to make the act merely a regulation bill. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. AMERICA. FALMOUTH, Aug. 15.
