MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market remains in a very easy posi tion, and there is no alteration to report in the general number of inquiries for accommodation, or in the terms upon which it is supplied.

The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 7th August gives the following re sults when compared with the previous week : Rest ... .£3,399,455 ...

Price of Consols 941 ••• 87} The Bank of France return for the past week shows the following changes, viz.—an increase in the cash of £700,000, in the private accounts of £480,000, and in the advances of £26,640 ; while there has been a decrease in the notes of £840,000, and in the Treasury balance of £2,000. The bills discounted remain the same as last week. At the meeting of the shareholders of the Tele graph to India Company the proceedings of the meeting held on Friday, the 12th July last, with reference to the agreement between the company and the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, were confirmed. The usual dividend of 5 per cent. per annum was also declared. Atlantic and Great Western Railway debentures have declined 1, to 25i 26i, but the Consolidated Mortgage bonds remain steady at 22 23. In the foreign and colonial produce markets dur ing the last few days there has been very little ani mation. Only moderate quantities of sugar have been brought forward, but prices remain steady. Superior qualities of coffee have found ready pur chasers at full rates, and the public sales of China tea have progressed at steady prices, a few superior qualities selling at a slight advance. In rice the dealings have been to a limited extent, and in tallow no material alteration can be reported in the quota tions current for present or forward delivery. The cotton report of Messrs. E. B. Liddell and Co., dated Alexandria, 27th July, 1867, states that " the only transactions we have to report since our last of the 19th inst. are about 700 canters of low stuff for the continent. The following quotations nominal :—Good middling, 1111 f. o. b. ; fair to fully fair, 130. to:l4d. do. ; good fair, 150. do. With regard to cereals, the telegraphic news from Europe to hand daily since our last of the 19th Produced a strong feeling in our market, and prices in favour of sellers till the 26th, when buyers were not disposed to pay the previous rates, and the market closed a shade lower. To-day's prices were firm, at a decline of is. from the highest point for Saidi wheat. The transactions daily have been to a fair extent, and supplies cleared out as they come to hand. Quotations :—Beans, Saidi, 295. 6d. per 4 801b5., . f.o.b. ; ditto, Behera, 28s. 41., ditto ; wheat, Saidi, 425., ditto; ditto, Behere, 395. 9d., ditto ; barley, 235. 9d., ditto." With regard to wheat, Mr. Cavo,'of Birmingham, remarks as follows •--" Until Monday evening Weather in this district continued fine but sunless. Monday night we bad heavy rain ;Tuesday showery, With more rain at night ; Wednesday and to-day _ _ mostly fine. On the whole it is very unfavourable for harvest operations, and sadly retards the ripen ing of the corn crops, while farmers are looking most anxiously for some hot sunny weather. Wheat trade during the week has been limited to present requirements, r and buyers operate with much caution. This may partly be accounted for by the small de mand for flour, and also by the present unremuno rative state of the trade, while the supply of far mers' wheat has somewhat increased, arrivals of foreign continuing liberal. At this day's market there was a better show of English wheat, for which there was a fair demand, more especially for picked samples, which fetched an advance of ls. per qr. on the prices of last week. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 69f. 350. 'lnanimate. Under the favourable influence of improved weather, satisfactory intelligence from the agricul tural districts, better accounts' from the principal manufacturing towns in the Midland and North- Western counties, larger traffic receipts on the leading lines of railway, more shipping business, and a demand for really good investments, the British funds are firmer. Consols, notwithstanding their recent advance, aro again 4 per cent. higher, viz., at 944 4 for money, and 941 4 for September. Foreign Stocks continue buoyant. Chilian scrip has advanced 4, to 21 dis. ; Italian 4, to 484 49; Greek, 4, to 131 4 ; Spanish Passive, 4, to 211 4 ; the Certificates, 4, to 164 4 ; and Turkish five per Cents, 4, to 304 31 ; while Mexican remain firm at 154 4. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 944 1; Annuities, 1885, 12 15-16, 13 1; Exchequer Bills, March, 255. prem. ; Bank of England Stock, 260 ; India Stock, 220 222 ; and ditto 5 per cents, 112 4 113. Continued firmness prevails in the Railway Share Market. Midland have further advanced 4 ; Great Ea stern, Great Northern, and London, Chatham, a nd Dover each 4 ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 4 ; and Great Western, 1; while North- Western have receded 4, and South-Western 4. In the Foreign and Colonial lines the dealings h ave been to a fair extent. Great Luxembourg -ha ve.. advanced to 104 ; South Austrian and 4-40 mbardo-Venetian remain at 15 ;. Great Western °f Canada, at 144 15 ; East Indian, at 1084 109 ; a nd Great Indian Peninsula, at 1074 1081. have American securities are depressed. Erie shares declin e d 14, to 444 454 ; and Illinois 1, to 761 , ; but United States are 4 better, at 734 74. _,.; l3 ank Sh ares are very inactive. London and estminst er have further declined to 85 88 ; tjai °n of London to 394. Miscellaneous and Finance shares are also at almost nominal values.

Aug. 8. Limehouse. This morning the adjourned investigation was 1 resumed respecting the alleged murder of Agnes Oakes, aged 22 years, who, as it was first stated, cut her throat after attempting to murder a lighter man, named John 'Wiggins, with whom she lived. The court and the streets near it were densely crowded by persons anxious to get a glimpse of the accused. IViggings was brought up before the court, in accordance with the direction of the Secretary of State. The prisoner was represented by his solicitor. A great deal of evidence was taken with the view of showing that the deceased was a person of confirmed drunken habit., and that she had inflicted the wounds which caused death with her own hand. The surgeon, however, was of opinion that much of what had taken place, and whic't was attributed to the deceased, was excremely doubtful, the severe nature of the wounds, in his opinion, being quite sufficient to cause utter pros tration the moment they were inflicted. The pri soner conducted himself calmly, and made 41 state ment to the effect that the young woman inflicted the injuries which caused her death with her own hand. The jury ultimately returned a verdict that the deceased was found with her throat cut, but the evidence was not conclusive as to how the injury had beeu inflicted. BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, August 8.

(Signed) Pota.AND. STATE OF T 3,ADE. BRADFORD, Aug. B.—There is a better feeling in the wool market. The degree of firmness csta- ' blished last week seems to be fairly maintained. Prior to that time there had, as will be remembered, been for a long time great irregularity in prices, and almost a constant tendency to decline; but this condition of things has now disappeared, and if there is no actual improvement in the shape of advance, at any rate the basis of prices then .established seems to be regarded as that in which spinners may safely operate. The result is that staplers seem more firm, while, at the same time, in the better prospect of fixity of quotations, no timidity is shown on the part of spinners, but more disposition to operate. Fine-haired wools are in steady demand, while Lincoln wools, especially hogs, are almost unsaleable. In worsted yarns there is no improvement. Shipping merchants are doing little or nothing, and though there is a fair consumptive demand on home account, there is nothing like animation in this branch. Prices are not generally lower, although some spinners seek to induce their customers to place orders by making a slight concession. lc Atlantic Ze St-Lawrence a S Rom., Barocl3, 4 Ccn.ln. - I gu. 6 per ccnt... 10 Do.

A Deputy of the Portuguese Parliament—one Senor Pedro De Brito Aranha —has written to Victor Hugo to point out that though Portugal is "ens petite con tree sans dents," yet it has set the example to Europe of abolishing capital punishment. Victor Hugo replies as under :—" Your noble letter makes my heart throb. I had heard 'the great news, but its repetition by you is delight ful. No ; there are no small peoples. Alas! there are small men, and sometimes they lead great nations. Peoples who aro ruled by tyrants are like muzzled lions. I adore and glorify your Portugal. It is free ; therefore it is great. Portugal has abolished punishment by death. This is a great advance in the march of improvement. To-day Portugal is in the van of European civilisation. You, Portuguese, have never ceased to be intrepid explorers. You advanced formerly in the ocean—now in the waters of truth. To proclaim such principles is batter than to discover world. Glory tp Portugal I" The Sewer Flood in Belgravia. Few persons who are not actual sufferers have any notion of the frequency with which, not so very long ago, the districts in London which lie in the line of the great sewers were liable to inunda tions of sewer-water during great storms. Within these very few years any severe thunderstorm would inundate the bas2ments of houses in certain parts of Bond-street near the King's Scholarspond sewer, and of the Westbourne district of Paddington near the Ranelagh sewer ; but since these sewers have been reconstructed and connected with the Metro politan Main Drainage such accidents have ceased. Still, however, the important districts which are waiting for the completion of the low level sewer, especially the lower parts of South Belgravia, are exposed once in every two or three years to this horrid nuisance. These districts are below high water mark, and if their sewers were not protected by flap valves would be inundated by a reflux of the Thames through the sewers at every high tide. As it is, during the period of high water nothing can flow out from the sewers, whose contents gradually accumulate till the fall of the tide allows them to disgorge themselves into the river. But if, during high tide, there should be an unusual rainfall, of course the sewers will he filled to an extraordinary degree, -and will regurgitate into the drains of the houses which open into them, unless the latter are protected by flap-valves, .as they always should be, to keep out gases, rats, and reflux water. The uulucky combination of high tide with violent rain fall occurred last week , and, in consequence,e kitchens and cellars of houses in such low lying districts as the Vaxhall-road, the Victoria sta tion, and South Belgravia generally werein domedfl with dilute sewer-water, to the height e i n habitants may 'well instances of three feet. Th pray for the conviction of the low level sewer, h av and for plenty of power to the pumps that will e the duty of lifting these occasional floods. Whatever the death-rate of these districts may be now, it ought to show a reduction when they cease to be. from time to time inundated as at present. The low level sewer on the north side is waiting for the Thames Embankmen t and the railways• sou th side the sewer is finished, and yet theOrenweiriee two —first, the inter grievous cases of inundation i n the lowest districts. The means of protection are cepting or high level sewers, wh i c h ought not to allow time rainfall o n the higher groun dwhich reachoug the uo e l o wer ; and, Seco ndl y , the pumps, off' any rainfall that be powerful enough to carry can fall on the waterlogged area below high water ,ark.-211edical limes and Gazette.

THE POLICE AND THE V BASKET WOMEN.—Five womer, named Ellen Cotton, Bridget Burns, Margaret lloop - er, Ann Sullivan, and Ann Shields, wore charged before Mr. Arnold with causing an obstruction in Crown-street, Soho, on the footway with baskets of fruit. Mr. Arnold ordered the cases to be taken respectively, stating that each case tnust depend upon its own merits, and the defendant Cotten was then placed at the bar. Police-constable Elward Bessoy, 178 C, said that yester day afternoon Ito was on duty in Crown-street, Soho, and Ito saw the defendant with some baskets of fruit on the footway, causing such an obstruction till persons•could not pass. There were great complaints from the inhabitants. Mr. Arnold asked the constable if ho had previously cautioned the defendant.. The constable said ho had. Mr. Arnold inquired - of the constable whether ho asked the defendant her name and address. The constable said ho did not. ' Mr. Arnold said that should have been done. He did not see any necessity for talking them into custody. If the . prisoners bo causing an obstruction, their names and addresses should be taken, end they should be summoned. Mr. Arnold asked if the evidence was the sate° in all cases, and, on the constable stating that it was, he dis charged the defendants with a caution. Ono of the defendants said sits bad been at the same place with h r stall for two years. Mr. Arnold said that was two years longer than she ought to have stopped. WESTMINSTER. THROWING STONES AT WATERMEN— CAUTION TO BOYS. -John Allen, a lad about 12 years of age, was charged as folio ws : George Simpson, of 5, Caledonia-street, Pimlico, said that he was a boatbuilder and waterman. Yesterday afternoon ho was painting a barge in the " Layby" of the Grosvenor-basin, when the defendant and some other boys commenced pelting him with stones. One that the defen dant threw struck him on the foot. His master, who wit nessed the trarsaction, ran after the defendant, and ho was handed over to the police. • Mr. Thos. Hither, the master of the last witness, said that he saw the defendant and two other other boys pelt ing the last witness with stones, and when they were spoken to they made us7.•of had language. Witness ran after the boys, and in the. Grosienor-road ho saw the de fendant take off a little llitoy's cap and hide it under his coat. Witness charged nu with stealing the cap. A police-constable came up; and he gave the defendant into custody. Mr. Selfe said such dangerous proceedings must be put a stop to, and he should fine defendant in the sum of 55., or seven days' imprisonment. The money was paid by the boy's mother, and he left the court in her charge. THAMES. The now magistrate, Mr. Ralph A. Benson, the Recorder of Shrewsbury, who has been appointed to succeed Mr. Partridge, officiated for the first time this morning in his magisterial capacity. The learned gentleman was called to the bar by the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple on the 26th of January, 1854. Mr. Partridge, who has gone to the Southwark Police-court, has been a stipen diary magistrate of Brighton, Wolverhampton, and the Thames Police-court for upwards of 15 years. He has left behind him many pleasant recollections for courtesy, int partiality, and kindness. Ho was a capital man of busi ness, painstaking, and never hasty in his decisions. He was held in much regard by the legal profession, and by all who ever came in contact with him in business trans actions. His retirement from this Court is deeply re gretted by the inhabitants of the district, and by the shipping and mercantile community of the port of Lon don. His decisions in maritime cases gate much satisfac tion, and his sagacity and legal abilities were greatly ap preciated by all who came before him. It is to be hoped that a fit successor to Mr. Partridge will be found in Mr. Benson, who entered upon his new duties this morning, as if he was to the manner born, at ten o'clock precisely, and disposed of a great number of night charges. He com menced his magisterial labours by fining Mr. George Star lingtull, a commercial traveller, ss. for being drunk and disorderly last night. Mr. Benson asked many questions of the police relating to the streeti, courts, and alleys named by the witnesses, and said, "I don't know the im mense district assigned to this court yet, but I have no doubt I shall soon know more about it. Mr. Paget has always taken his seat on the bench with undeviating punctuality at ten o'clock in the morning, and it will be a great boon to the public if Mr. Benson will follow the example of his learned colleague with the same regularity. John Wiggins, lighterman, charged with the wilful mur der of a woman named Oakes, with whom he cohabited, will be brought before Mr. Benson this afternoon, after the termination of the inquest in Limehouse. This case was originally before Mr. Paget I M Friby, and it is expected that Mr. Benson will remand it to some day, on which his colleague will preside. If that is not done, Mr. Benson will have to go over the same ground again. MARKETS.— /his day. MARK LANE.

We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with foreign wheat, in which a fair business was transacted at full quotations. The imports continue liberal. There was about an average business doing in floating cargoes of grain on former terms. No English barley was on offer. Foreign parcels moved off freely, at vory full prices: Malt sold slowly, on former terms. Oats commanded Gd por.qr. more money, with a good demand. The supply was rather extensive.

The "Reasons" were read at length by the Clerk at the table, and ordered to be transmitted to the House of Peers for their lordships' consideration. CHURCH RATES. Mr. GLADSTONE gave notice that next session be should move for leave to introduce a bill to abolish the ,payment of compulsory Church-rates. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. iThe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER appealed to several hoe. members who had notice of motion standing on the paper on the motion for going into committee of supply. The right hon. gentleman said it was of the highest importance that the remaining votes in supply should be taken, and therefore ho hoped hon. memt'ers would not persevere that day and bring forward the sub jects standing in their names. Mr. FAWCETT said he had a notice to the effect that it would be undesirable for the Government to advise her Majsty to grant a new charter to any new university in Ireland without first consulting Parliament. If the right hon. gentleman would give him an assurance to that effect he would gladly give way. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having given the required promise, the hon. member said he should not bring forward the motion of which he had given notice. The other hon. members having consented to postpone the motions that stood in their names the amendments for the Church Temporalities Orders (Ireland) Validation were considered, agreed to, and the bill lead a third time. The same course having been adopted with respect to the Railway Companies (Ireland) Advances and Merchant Shipping Bill, the house w ent into Committee of Supply. DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND ART. On the vote of £162,387, to complete the sum of £206,387, to defray the expenses of the Science and Art D e p a rtment of the United Kin g dom being proposed, a desultory discussion arose, which terminated by the vote being agreed to. sumv . a.

This watertnau's wager for a new boat, value £23, and money prises, took place on Thursday, under the manage ment of Alexander Grace, but in all his efforts to carry out the affair satisfactorily were marred by the co of nduct G. Baker, of Mill-stairs, one of the competitors, whe in one heat kept the men exactly ono hour at the post simply because he was not allowed a long start. In the final heat ho and William Deal, a man 15 years his senior, and de servedly respected, came together, and after a groat deal of shuffling Baker got the load inn 200 yards. Deal broke raduall his right hand scull, but getting nother, he start rowed ed afr his man, who was 12 le n g ths ahead, and gy him down, so that when Deal caught him he crossedore and fouled Deal twice.

Quoting from a Trieste letter the Memorial Dip lmnatique says that the physicians were unanimous i n recommending the Queen of the lgians Be to spare the her sister-in - law from any great e xcitement on oec,asion of their first meeting after a long separa tion. At the sight of her I%lajesty the Empress ap peared more surprised than moved. Her peculiar sagacity caused her instinctively to comprehend that some great event had occurred when she who had b ee n so long kept in complete i s olation was allowed once more to embrace a beloved relative. but fearing, doubtless, to learn too speedily the irreparable loss she had sustained, she made no inquiry at the first interview for information con cerning the Emperor Maximilian. She rather appeared to study the countenance of the Queen, in order to detect some ground for hope or alarm The Queen was attired in half mourning only, he o bject of occasioning as little excitement as possibl ust o n the mind of th e aug sufferer. But the latter the next morning perceived from dentsindow of the apartment that the Queen's attenwere in deep mourning, and i min ediately understo exhi bi t i n g her od the extent of her misfor tune, without, however, deep emotion further than by a melancholy which was the more affecting that it was not expressed in words. It could not be doubted that the Empress no longer entertained any illusion as to the fate of her husband, although no one had ventured to reveal it to her. ller wild resination was a sufficient p ro of of her knoege oft he sad event. General Deligny, cotnmanding i 4 the province of Oran, Algeria, has issued an order of the day point ing out the defective state of the national guard in that part of the colony, and directing measures to be taken to improve their efficiency. They are to be called out every Sunday for two hours' exercise and drill and for shooting practice. In the rural dis tricts these guards are to be trained frequently to field tactics, and in the rules of attack and defence ; and, generally, the local military authorities aro charged to make the force as effective as possible. A CHILD KILLED DT ITS FATHE R. —On We neslay, at the Mancheste r As,i7..ys, Robert Itlorri,,, was indicted for the manslaughterof his Alice Ann Mor ris, at Manchester, on tie 27th of July. The prisoner was attempting to strike his wife with a brush, when the blow fell upon the temple of the child, aged six week 3, who was iu the mother's arms. In e conse , consequence of the injuries the child died. The prisoner was found guilty, and as it ap peared' that he had received much provocation his lordship only sentenced him to four months' hard labour. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A RAILWAY PORTEIL—As a porter, named Pullin, employed at the Great Western Rail way Station at Theale, was about to couple some trucks on Wednesday, and greatly injured. A medical man who was sent for re tie was accidentally caught between the buffers commended his removal to the Barks Hospital at Reading, tow' hich institution he was conveyed, but the injuries he had sustained were of such a serious en` ch yar acter that the poor man expired a few hours sub 3 equ —The Poor-law Board. l. 51ETROPOLITAN ACT, 1867. have issued, under the provisions of this statute an orde r dated the 2d instant, placing the parish of St. Mary New ington, tor the purposes of the administration of the relief of the poor under a board of guardians to be elected accord ing to the provisions of the 4th and sthWilliam IV., cap. 7 6.
