X' ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The proceedings of the Bank of England to-day did not excite particular interest, and no surprise was manifested when it was announced that the minimum would remain at 2 per cent., although the ordinary value of money in other directions is little more than 1 per cent. No doubt the resources of the chief establishment will increase, notwith standing the agricultural requirements and the holiday expenditure here and abroad, as usual at this period of the year. Continuous and rather heavy rains have fallen within the last two days, but the effect in the prin cipal agricultural districts generally has not been u . ifavourable. Notwithstanding the wet, the cold, and even frost, there is a confident impression among farmers that the yield will not be far short of an average ; and the letters from Yorkshire, portions of Kent, Sussex, and the Midland districts are on the whole encouraging. Even assuming that the crop of wheat be deficient, there is full compensa tion in the promised supplies of cereals from Ame rica, Australia, and Europe, also in the abundance Produced in the h•iy fields, and the steady decline of the disease among cattle. At the meeting held to-day of the Irrigation Company of France the report confirmed in al essential particulars the favourable anticipations which have been held out to the shareholders, and an account is given of the prospects of the various undertakings in hand, which are satisfactory and encouraging. The works of the four canals already taken up have been pressed forward with all possible activity, and although in the case of two of them—the Siagne Canal and the upper branches of the Lagoin Canal the opening, which was expected to take place in the course of the present summer, will, through de lays and other unavoidable circumstances, be delayed, but this slight postponement will be of no pecuniary importance. Two of the credits which the directors in their last report stated they expected to open with, French financial companies, have been obtained and are in operation—namely, those for the Verdon and the St. blortory Canals, and that the negotiations for the others are in an advanced state ; whilst in respect of one canal, the Siagne, a special supplemental credit has been ob tained in London. The French companies made a rigorous investigation of the position of the canalsto Satisfy themselves that the amount of the credits tobe opened would suffice for their completion, and thus in sure the repayment of the advances, and no further calls will be required to carry to completion the present undertakings. Details of the state of progress are furnished of the several canals, and the plans sub n►itted prove of interest, as illustrating the extent and geographical, bearings of these undertakings, and the important character of the districts they are intended to supply. The sum of £87,000 was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The senior partner of Messrs. R. Symonds and Son, of Ingram-court, Fenchurch-street, having Made a tour of the wine districts, reports the pro spects as far as can be at present obtained. He States that the vines in the Champagne districts are in excellent condition. In Bordeaux the flowering izs now taking place, and although a certain amount of damage occurred in the spring, yet appearances on the whole are favourable. In Burgundy hail storms and long-continued rains have injured the tines, but they have improved, and in the end a fair average vintage may be obtained. In passing through the South of France in May he found that severe frosts had caused great injury, but he con siders the damage is not to such an extent as has been represented. The vines on the Rhine and Moselle look healthy, but the vintage will be late. Atlantic and Great Western Railway debentures remain steady at 26 28, and the Consolidated Mort gage bonds at 22 23. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 69f. 35c. Firm. More buoyancy and animation are observable in the market for the English Funds, and, indeed, for securities generally. Consols are favourably influ enced by the abundance of money, the arrivals of gold, and the improvement of the temperature in favour of the crops. Investors as well as speculators ar e now inclined to effect purchases, and values 'aye been ascending in consequence. Foreign bonds are more sought for, and railway shares are higher, p r incipally on account of the favourable traffic re ceipts of the lines traversing the manufacturing districts. The latest prices of Consols are* higher, at 34- 1 I for money, and 94i I for the account. The Ne w Th rees are 93i 4 ; Reduced Annuities, 84 3 i ; Bank of England Stock, 262 60 ; India " I ttn, 222 ; and ditto 5 per Cents., 112} I 13.

Tuesday being the birthday of Capt. his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, Her Majesty's ships in Portsmouth harbour and at Spithead dressed with national ensigns at their mastheads, and Royal salutes were fired. NM The screw three-decker Victoria, Commander Codrington, was paid out of commission at Ports mouth yesterday, and her crew granted the custom ary leave. The Victoria was paid out of her com mission in magnificent condition, both with regard to cleanliness and order of everything connected with her hull externally and internally, and in the appearance of her crew. The following men among her crew are recommended to the Admiralty for the receipt of the medal, good service pensions, and gratuities for long service and good conduct: — Wm. Mitchell, captain after guard ; Wm. Tipper, boatswain's mate ; Wm. Hicks, ship's cook ; Jas. Fellowes, chief captain of forecastle ; Jesse Bewe, chief quartermaster. The Gladiator paddle, Capt. D'Aplin, sailed yes terday from Spithead for the westward. Adivisional field-day of the whole of the troops at Chatham garrison, the first since the issue of the Snider breech-loader,was held on Chatham lines yesterday morning, in presence of Major-General Freeman Murray. The forces on the ground consisted of the Royal Engineer Train, the Corps of Royal Engi neers, three depot battalions of infantry, and the division of Royal Marines. They were formed in line at the crest of the hill at 11 a.m., and received Gen. Murray with the usual salute. They were then inspected in line, after which the entire force marched past by grand divisions at company dis tance, and subsequently in quarter-distance, and contiguous columns of companies formed on the Royal Engineers. The programme of the day's ope rations contemplated some extensive field move ments, for which purpose the troops were supplied with 20 rounds each of the Snider ammunition. Shortly before one o'clock, however, the rain de scended heavily, and the order was given for the troops to be marched off the ground to their respec tive quarters. The Viper, 4, screw gunboat, Commander Crozier, made her measured mile in Stokes Bay, near Ports mouth, on Saturday. Her speed with full-boiler power was 9.475 knots, and with half-boiler power 7.333 knots. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty : —Lieut. Clement La Primandaye to the Lord Warden ; Lieut. Francis H. S. O'Brien to the Simoom ; Navigating Lieut. W. B. Shellabear to the Himalaya ; Sub-Lieut. R. C. Gorst to the Warrior; M. M'Causland, midshipman, to the Liffey; Lieut. W. Stewart, flag-lieut. to Vice-Admiral Lord C. Paget, Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterra nean, and Lieut. R. T. Britten to the Caledonia. MURDER AND ROBBERY.--On Saturday night the body of a labouring man, named Bradbury, was found on the high road near Luton, fearfully beaten about the head. A heavy whipstock was found on the ground close by. The man was removed to a public-house, where he died the following morning. Robbery appears to have been the object of the assassin, as the pockets of the deceased were cut out, and some new clothes he had purchased and was bringing home wore carried off. As yet no ono has been arrested for the crime. [ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's Pills. —Remedy and Regimen.—The most serious subject on which man can meditate is the maintenance of good health in himself and iu the dear ones around him. Whenever or wherever illness assails us, it always sends before it unmistakeable symp toms of its approach ; subdue these by Holloway's correc tive and purifying medicine, aided by a plain, simple diges tive diet, and the attack, deprived of its powerful allies within the body, passes harmlessly by. Pain, discomfort, and danger are alike averted, and when epidemics rage whole households are spared a mournful visitation. Dis ease is always occurring at all hours of the day, at all sea sons of the year; prudence therefore gives the warning to keep this remedy ready to remove instantly defective ac tions.

MARLBOROUGH-STREE r. EXTRAOTIDINARY ROBBERY.—R. J. Simmonds, a young man, in the employ of Messrs. Bickers and Son, dressing case makers, of Leicester-square, was brought before Mr. Arnold, by Sergeant Langley, of the detective department, charged with stealing some silver dressing-case fittings, the property of his employers. Mr. Henry Bickers, jun., said that on Tuesday last he went to a dressing case in the shop, and in doing so found it to be locked, a very unusual thing, as the dressing-cases Were always left unlocked, so that the fittings might be more closely seen. On the dressing-case being subse quently opened eight out of eleven of the silver tops of the bottles were missing. lie then spoke to the three shopmen in that particular department, the prisoner being one, telling them that it was a barefaced robbery, and that the matter must be investigated. Prisoner said he would plead Guilty and save time. Mr. Arnold said Ito rims: bear a little more about it. Mr. Bickers said that in reply to what ho said the pri soner remarked, " It's very bad. I can't thick how people can do such things," and ho suggested that no pawnbroker would take such things in pledge. He afterwards said that a few days before he had noticed another shopman go to the till and take something out, and go out and have a chop (the person's name being Mellish) ; and that if Mel lish could do such a thing as that, no doubt he had taken the silver fittings, and suggested that a police officer should be sent fur. The prisoner appeared very anxious to fix the guilt on Mellish, and Mellish was put under notice to leave in consequence of what the pri soner had said. Ile (Mr. Bickers) afterwards placed the matter in the hands of the detective police. Soma silver fittings were produced, and Mr. Bickers identified them as his property, and said, in answer to Mr. Arnold, that ho had lost a great deal of property at dif ferent times. In reply to the prisOner, Mr. Bickers said ho could not say he had lost any property since the prisoner had been i❑ his employ till the present time, but ho had only been in his employ a few weeks. He had discharged a porter a few weeks ago for robbing at the priioner's instigation. Mr. Thomas Parker, assistant to Mr. Dobree, pawn broker of the Strand, said that on Saturday night last the prisoner brought the silver fittings produced and offered them in pledge. Not feeling satisfied with the prisoner's statement respecting them ho referred him to the foreman and on the foreman questioning him he said that his wife received the articles as a wedding present. On the fore man asking the prisoner whore the bottles and the case were, the prisoner replied, " Perhaps you think I stole the things ; give them to mo back, and I will take them to Attenborough's." The prisoner spoke in a very plausible manner, and his style was so calculated to disarm suspi cion, that the foreman, although he would not allow him to have any advance on them, allowed him to have a pair of trousers which ho had previously pledged, the prisoner promising to attend on the following Mon day with the dressing-case and bottles. As the prisoner did not come according to appointment, he (witness) re ferred to th• "police list," and seeing the articles described communicated with the police. Sergeant Langley, of the detective police, said that on asking the prisoner whether he had any suspicion as to who committed the robbery, he said "I suspect Mellish." Last night ho took possession of the tops at Bow-street, and afterwards took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner had told Lim that if ho watched Mellish the thing would be found out, and said that ho had reasons to believe the things were sold at Clerkonwell. Mr. Arnold remanded the prisoner.

He challenged the proceedings that had taken place in the House of Lords as an invasion on the rights of the people, and said that their amendments were such that, if carried into effect, the whole bill, in his opinion, would become a perfect sham. (Cheers.) The triangular constituencies was a new-fangled proposition, which he looked upon as a perfect de lusion, and one which he would not consent to upon any conditions. (Cheers.) The meeting had only to be in earnest and they would carry their point, which was the total rejection of the whole of the amendments which the Lords had made to the bill. (Cheers.) Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE seconded the resolu tion. He condemned the attempt that had been made to alter the lodger franchise, and congratulated the meeting on the non-success of the proceeding. He referred to the three-cornered system of voting, and said the representation of minorities meant, in plain English, the misrepresentation of majorities. (Loud cheers.) It seemed to him to be highly impolitic that there should be three members to represent thousands and tens of thousands, and one man representing none. (Loud cheers.) The system of adopting voting papers was also another most objectionable proposition, because, in his opinion, it would put into the hands of the electoral agents the means of using the votes to suit their own political bias. The voter was to fill up his paper in the presence of a magistrate—(hisses)—and might either be his land lord or employer, and perhaps in addition the per sonal friend of one of the candidates. (Shame.) Such a system could but lead to the worst results, and he hoped it would be rejected in such a manner as to prove the feeling of the people in general was strongly against it. (Cheers.) Mr. LOCKE, M.P., supported the resolution. He said he had not been able to attend as many public meetings as he could have wished, but that did not arise from any disposition on his part to treat the great question of Reform in any trivial way. It was occasioned by the incessant sitting of the House of Commons, in which for the last two or three months they had been engaged night and day discussing the principles of the bill. The measure, in his opinion, was now far from perfect, but it was the best under the circumstances that could be obtained, and, therefore, he accepted it. The complexion of the bill after it had passed the Lords was completely altered in many respects, and such was his estimation of the bill, as at pre sent amended, that lie believed it would result in making matters even worse than under the old sys tem. (Cheers.) Ile felt the bill to be effectual must remain as it left the House 'of Commons, and he thought it only wanted a strong pull on the part of the people of London to settle the fate of the so called Lords' Amendments. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then put the resolution to the meeting, which was carried, amidst loud cheering. Mr. Crawford, M.P., Mr. Goschen, M.P., and several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, all condemning the amendments made to the bill in the louse of Lords. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks o the Lord Mayor. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKE7—This Day. Market generally steady. Surats irregular. Sales probably 10,000 to 12,000 bales.

Mr. FAWCETT moved the third reading of this bill, but the motion was opposed by Mr. C. Beutinck. The house divided, when there appeared— For the third reading Against it Majority The bill was censequently lost. BIL G. Sir C. O'LOGIILEN moved the third reading of this bill. Mr. AYIITON opposed the motion, on the ground that the bill would prove detrimental to the liberty of the press. The eff :et of the bill would be to make I.ersous more amenable -to punishment for spoken slander than at present, and that a person who printed the statement should be exempt from punishment—a proposition he considered altogether unjust. The bill in his opinion deprived the person libelled of all protection, because all that was necessary to absolve the printer 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, ho contended, was altogether impossible; and, as for proceeding against the speaker, it was quite open for a person to give 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. He contended that another fault in the bill was that it exempted ono class of the community from the law of the land, because it prevented a person libelled proceeding against a newspaper proprietor without ho could find two responsible persons who would become sureties for the costs of the action. .The bill seemed as if it had been drawn out by newspaper pro prietors respectively for their own protection, without the slightest regard to the rights of the public in general. The result of the bill would be to put a bad newspaper on the same footing as one conducted with care and ability, and therefore he hoped the house would reject the bill. Sir C. O'LOGHLEN declined to follow tlie hon. gentle man into a discussion of the principle of the bill. The measure had been fully considered by the house, and he considered that the hon. member had availed himself of an illegitimate moans 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 House divided, when there appeared— For the third reading 79 Against it ... ... 18 Majority in favour of the bill ... —6l PAWNBROKING BILL. The motion for the second reading of this bill was with drawn. INCREASE OF THE EPISCOPATE BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. FAWCETT said 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 that no new bishopric be founded under the provisions of this bill until a sum shall be raised by voluntary subscrip tions, which shall provide not only for the stipend of the new bishop, but shall also be sufficient to provide for all the other expenses of a cathedral establishment." He had been told it was contrary to order, and therefore he should like to have the opinion of the Speaker on the subject. The SPEAKER told the hon. member he could not, in accordance with the rules of the house, bring forward his instruction. _ _ 'ronlora ... Moulsey Strathconau Sunctoel.•ah.. Retrou.so The house then went into committee on the bill. On clause 1 being proposed, Mr. AYRTON moved the insertion of the following words at the end of the clause, "Provided that no scheme shall be submitted for confirmation to her Majesty in Council until there shall have been paid or transferred to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners by voluntary gift or bequest monies, securities, or estates, of which the annual interest, rents, or profits shall be sufficient to pay the an ❑ual income of the bishop and of all other persons to be appointed to any office under such scheme according to the stipulations thereof, and all other charges and expenses of carrying the same into effect." 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 Rouse of Lords, and which was struck out, were agreed to, and the chairman having reported the bill, the house resumed. The Public Works (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Militia Reserve Bill was read a third time and passed. The Railways (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The house thou adjourned. The Awful Tragedy at Limehouse. ADJOURNED CORONER'S INQUEST.

The proceedings created the greatest inte rest, and crowds of people congregated outside the inquest room. Sarah Martin said that her dwelling is facing the front of the house where the occurrence took place. At about ten minutes to two o'clock on the morn ing of the 24th of July she was awoke by screams of " Murder," proceeding from Temperance Cot tage.

She Put the blind down and went to bed again, and without disturbing her husband. She was sure it was ten minutes to two. Directly after she returned to her bed the church clock struck two. William Dann, a rivetter, said that he knew Wiggins, the accused man, and his late wife. lie lined opposite to them. On the morning of the 24th of J uly, at ten Minutes to five o'clock, he was awoke by loud cries of " Murder " proceeding from the house No. 1, Temperance Cottages, opposite.

AN INCORRIGIBLE YOUNG THlEF.—Sarah Park, aged 15, was charged with stealing a cloak and other articles, the property of her mother and sister. Mr. Arnold asked the prosecutrix whether she intended to prosecute her daughter ? The mother replied yes; she was such a thief that no thing cauld be done with her. She had only just come out of prison for robbing her, and had boen in before. It having been ascertained that the prisoner was over the age to be sent to a reformatory, the case was proceeded with. Mrs. Park said she was the wife of Wiuto Park, of 120, Lillington-street, and on Thursday last she was washing and the prisoner left the house. She came home on the Friday morning, made a disturbance, and was admitted. A cloak and umbrella were then behind the door of her room. Between 6 and 7 she was gone, and the things too. She returned on Tuesday, and witness found her underneath the bed. Upon asking her what she had done with the things, she said she had lost the umbrella and had pawned the cloak, throwing down the ticket. Mr. Walter Seudamore, pawnbroker, of Great Scuds more-street, Westminster, produced the cloak, pledged for 2s. on Monday. Mr. Arnold asked the prisoner what she had done with the money. She replied, "Spent it." Mr. Arnold, after admonishing her, said ho had no alter native but to send her to prison. The chaplain would be communicated with, with the view to getting her to an institution where sh© would ho reclaimed. Ile then sen tenced her to three months hard labour. THAMES. ASSAULT ON A CUSTOM-HOUSE OFFICER AND RESCUE OF A PRISONER. -- Franz Joseph, a very old man, John White, Aagust Abraham, and Mary Kellar, natives of Germany, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting Thomas Smith, an examining officer of Customs, and res cuing a prisoner from his custody. Last night between the hours of nine and ten o'clock Mr. Smith proceeded to a public-house known as the Clockhouso in Rosemary-lane, Royal Mint-street, White chapel, with a warrant signed by Mr. Woolrych, of the Southwark police-court, for the arrest of George Kellar, the landlord, for causing to be imported 129 lbs. of foreign manufactured cigars. Ho was accompanied by John Henry Briscoe, another officer, who went into the public-house first to reconnoitre, and saw George Kellar there. He then called in Smith, who said to the landlord, 4i I want you. I have a warrant from a magistrate for your apprehension." Kellar said, "I shall not go without my hat and boots." Smith said, "You can have your hat and boots, but let your wife and servant get them for you, for I can't let you go." At that time only Smith, Briscoe, and Kellar were present in an inner room. Kellar called to some in the German language, and all the prison ers, except Joseph, came in and made an attack on Smith, who was dragged into an adjoining room, ill-used, his clothes torn, and the prisoner George Kellar rescued from him. While this was going on Briscoe was absent in search of a police constable. He returned with one, and Smith charged the four prisoners, and, rescuing his pri soner. Smith gave a long detail of the violence offered by the prisoners, their assault on him, and their rescue. The old man who gave the name of Joseph is the father of the German who was rescued, and his real name is Kellar. Mr. Paget said tho old man gave his right name last night, and perhaps Franz Joseph were his Christian names. A solicitor's clerk for the prisoners cross-examined the witnesses, and elicited that since the 14th of June, when the alleged offence was committed, Kellar, the smuggler, had been to the custom-house several times. Kellar was present when the offence was committed, but he was not arrested. The prisoners were remanded. MARKETS.---This day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

No con nection with any other person using the same TILE MOORS. —The prosPects for the opening on Monday next on the vest range of moors running from the neighbourhood of Penistone into Derbyshire and Cheshire are so very had that several of the largest proprietors will not shoot this season over their grounds. Among others, the moors of Mr. J. S. Stanhope, extending to between 7,000 and 8,000 acres, will be left untouched, and the same will be the case with regard to those adjoining of Mr. R. C. Clarke, of Noblethorpe-hall, who goes into Scotland. The Bradfield Game Association have also agreed not to open the Bradfield Moors until the 12th September. At Board hill, the Stripes, and on nearly all the grounds, very few birds are to be. seen, and gamekeepers who have been out during the week report very few covies to be seen, but a good many dead birds, the disease and the tapeworm hav ing made great havoc. There will, therefore, be few guns out this season, and less bags made than for some years past. On nearly all the grounds there will not be many more young birds found than will be required for breeding for next year.
