MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Owing to the arrangements for the 4th inst., when a considerable quantity of mercantile paper will have to be returned, the Money Market is a little less inactive, but the increase of business thus occasioned is after all too small to create animation in discount circles, or to influence the quotations, which are as easy as ever, 1 per cent. being the minimum in general circles. A further influx of gold, to the amount of £70,000, took place at the Bank of England yes terday. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 31st July gives the following re sults when compared with the previous week : Rest .£3,361,576 ... Increase £327 Public deposits ... 4,898,151 ... Increase 200,901 Other deposits ... 20,593,817 ... Decrease 181,99 G On the other side of the account : Government securities £12,830,773 ... No change Other securities ... 17,322,457 .., Increase £73,968 Notes unemployed ... 12,542,305 ... Decrease 12,876 The amount of notes in circulation is £24,182,960, being an increase of £180,245 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £22,926,453, showing an increase of £154,589 when compared with the preceding return. The Bank of France returns for the past week give the following changes when compared with the previous returns :—The notes have increased £ 1 ,066,640, the cash in hand £272,000, and bills discounted £266,640; while the private accounts show a diminution of £13,320, the Treasury balance £32,000, and the advances £B,OOO. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 26 28 ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 22 23. In the Mincing-lane Markets during the last few days there has been a moderate demand for most of the principal staples. Sugar has been at steady rates, while the public sales of coffee have pro ceeded with rather more animation at full values. Operations in tea have been postponed until the public sales of China, which commence on Tuesday next, while in rice and tallow no material altera tion can be reported in values. Notice has been given by the Natal Land and Colonisation Company that a meeting will be held On the 16th inst., for the purpose of presenting a report and statement of accounts to the 31st December last, and also for the purpose of autho rising the directors to borrow money on debentures of the company to the extent of £250,000, at 90 Per cent., redeemable at par in 30 years at 6 per cent, per annum. At the meeting held to-day of the Provincial Banking Corporation the accounts and balance sheet to the 30th June were presented, showing a net balance of £9,079, from which the directors r ecommended a dividend at the rate of 7f per cent. Per annum, leaving £ 2,035 to be carried forward. 411 13 dividend will be payable on the 14th inst. It W . 48 Stated that the business of the bank continued in a sound and satisfactory state.

There is a further contraction of business at the Stock Excha nge , an d th e bi-monthly settlement in Foreign bonds and shares of all denominations having been concluded, members, as far as prac ticable, are hurrying away for their holidays. Con sidering the limited number of bargians entered Into values are much better sustained than might have been expected. Consols, notwithstanding the intense dullness, are very steady •at 94 4 for transfer and for the account, Bth inst., and 944 for the September liquidation. The New Threes are 934 4 44; Reduced Annui ties 934 4 4 ; Bank of England Stock, 261 ; India do., 218/ ; ditto 5 per Cents., 1114 4 4 ; ditto 4 per Cents..., 991 ; ditto Enfaced 5 per Cents., 103 ; ditto £l,OOO Bonds, 65. i. 70s, pm.

MIDLAND AND EASTERN, NORWICH, AND SPALDING, &c., RAILWAYS BILL. Tho Lord& Amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. BARNOLDSWICK RAILWAY BILL. The Lords' Amendments to this bill were also considered and agreed to. UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN IRELAND. Mr. FAWCETT gave notice that in consequence of the answer which the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave him yesterday on the subject of University Education in Ireland, he would move on going into Committee of Supply on Friday next, that in the opinion of this house it is unadvis able that the Government should advise her Majesty to grant any charter to a Roman Catholic University, or sanc tion any scheme affecting university education in Ireland until Parliament has had an opportunity of being consulted. COURTS OF LAW FEES, &c., BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, and an amendment was agreed to, to the effect that the Commis sioners of her Majesty's Treasury should have power from time to time to prepare amended tables of fees. The house then resumed, and the bill was read a third time and passed. INLAND REVENUE BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. DOMINICA LOAN BILL. This bill was likewise read a third time and passed. The Local Government Supplemental (No. 6) Bill, the Prorogation of Parliament Bill, and the Naval Stores (No. 2) Bill were also read a third time and passed. ARTISANS AND LABOURERS' DWELLINGS BILL. Ou the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, Mr. BAZ LEY moved, " That in the opinion of this house it is not expedient that the provisions is this bill, by which it is proposed to impose upon the local authority the obligation, if and when required by the owners, to pur chase condemned properties at prices to be ascertained under the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, should receive the assent of this house." Seeing the late period of the session he recommended that the bill should either be with drawn or amended in such a manner as would make it acceptable. Ile regarded it as totally impracticable that municipalities should become agents of property, and, in fact, engage themselves in matters with which they had nothing to do. Mr. PO WELL deprecated the introduction of abstract resolutions with the view of obstructing the passing of bills. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE thought the amendment was a very effectual way of putting a stop to the bill, and it would therefore receive his support. Mr. HARDY remarked that the bill would lead to great difficulties, and perhaps be the means of reducing munici palities to a state of insolvency. He did not see why this should not be taken into consideration. Mr. WHALLEY supported the amendment. Mr. LUCRE urged that it was as much the duty of mu nicipalities to buy up pestilent houses as to make sewers. Mr. CANDLISH was strongly iu favour of the bill. (LEFT SITTING.) Royal National L - feboat Institution. Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held at its house, John- street,- Adelphi ; Thomas Chap man, Esq., F. R.S., V.P., in the chair. There were also present—Sir E. Perrott, Bart. ; W. IL Harton, Esq. ; Admiral Ryder, John Griffiths, Esq. ; Admiral Gordon, Capt. De St. Croix, "Admiral Bullock, Admiral M‘Hardy, and Richard Lewis, Esq., secretary of the institution. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, a reward of £l3 4s. was voted to pay the expenses of the Institution's lifeboat at Ex mouth, in putting off on the 13th ult. in a strong gale of wind, with the view of rendering assistance to the crew of the brig Ranger, of Newcastle, which was totally wrecked off Budleigh Salterton. .The life-boat in crossing the bar, where a heavy sea was breaking, was repeatedly filled with water, and had four of her oars broken. She, however, behaved very well under these circumstances ; but while the boat was on her way to the wrecked vessel, the crew were rescued by means of the Rocket Apparatus, and the lifeboat was thereupon signalled to return to her station. Rewards amounting to £32 were also granted to the crews of the society's life boats at Fraserburgh, Arklow, Cromer, andTeign mouth,for variousservices during recent heavy gales. A reward was likewise voted to M. Curran, forswim ing off at the risk of his life, in a heavy surf, and assisting to bring ashore the crew of nine men of a shore-boat which had capsized off Meenacladdy, Ireland, on the 25th June. A reward of £9 10s. was likewise voted to the crew of a Pakefield yawl, for rescuing on the 16th ult., in a strong wind and heavy sea, the crew of six men of the French lug ger Edouard et Rose, which had sunk on the New combo Sand, Suffolk. Other rewards were also granted for saving life from different wrecks on our coasts. It was reported that the institution had recently forwarded new lifeboats to Llandudno (Wales) and Sheringham (Norfolk). The railway companies had, as usual, kindly given a free con veyance to the boats. It was also stated that the late Jacob Nathan, Esq., of Plymouth, had be queathed £5O to the institution. Legacies had also been received from the executors of the late Miss Caroline N. Oxenham, of Kensing ton (less duty), £lBO, and the late Mr. Edwin Bag shaw, of Nottingham, £25. Titus Salt, Esq., of Bradford, had presented to the institution £620 to pay for an additional lifeboat station. £3OO had also been received from "Routledge's Magazine" for Boys' Lifeboat Fund, to defray the cost of the surf lifeboat now being built for Caister, Norfolk, the amount of which had been principally raised through the zealous exertions of Edmund Routledge, Esq., the editor of this very instructive periodical. £8 16s. 6d. had also been contributed to the Institu tion by the officers and passengers on board the Cape mail steamers Roman and Anglian, on their last passages from the Cape of Good Hope, through the respective commanders, Capt. Walter Dixon and Lieut. R. W. Ker, R.N.R. Payments amounting to £1,486 were ordered to be made on various life boat establishments. New lifeboat houses were ordered to be built at Kessingland in Suffolk, Cadg with in Cornwall, and Bembridge in the isle of Wight. Reports were read from the Inspector and Assistant Inspector of Lifeboats to the Society on their recent visits to some of its lifeboat stations on the coast. The proceedings then terminated.

Men with wives already are to sleep and spend their days in the nursery. As an instance of the advantage patriarchs taking girlish wives, he re lates the story of a certain ancient man, with snow white hair and beard, who married at the advanced age of eighty. After a while the old man fell ill, all his hair and skin came off. On his recovery, he had a fresh transparent complexion, and a magnificent bushy head and chin of vivid rod hair. "Whatever you do !" earnestly entreats the doctor, "never marry an old woman ; she will absorb all the vital principal from your lungs, and poison you with her exhalations. Alas, for him, who, in hopes of gaining money, marries a rich old spinster. She becomes youthful, and he prematurely aged. For old women," he continues, "are like cats, whose broth is poionous in life. 7--Qacc a Week. SHARE LlST—This Day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways.

POLICE INTELLIGELNE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE HAYMARKET BASKET WOMEN AND THE POLICE.— Six women, named Catherine Regan, Elizabeth Maria Sayers, Elizabeth Miller, Elizabeth Jones, Mary M 'earthy, and Catherine Ryan, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with obstructing the pathway with baskets containing fruit and flowers. Police-constable Laurence Poole, 301 A, said that shortly before one o'clock that morning he saw the prisoners be tween the Haymarket and the Regent-circus, Piccadilly, with largo baskets containing flowers and fruit. The baskets, which were on the footway, caused such an ob struction that persons had to walk into the road to pass along. He had cautioned the primers several times be fore, and finding that of no use, ho took thorn into custody. Inspector Harrison said that the place was FO infested with basket women at night that porsonsfound difficulty in passing along the place. The constable stated . that Ryan, lonel, and 11‘earthy had been fined before for a similar offence—Ryan aad Jones ss. each, and M'Carthy 2s. 6d. Ryan was very drunk, and ho had groat trouble iu getting her to the station. Jones sail 3113 had a child sunring from disease of the lungs; some of the other prisoners—for two or three spoke at a time—said they had children to keep, while others said they wore not causing any obstruction. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was impossible to overlook the matter. He would find thorn 2s. 6d. each, and if they came before him again they would be fined 40s. each. WILFUL DAMAGE THROUGH RETENGE.—JuIia Fletcher, a young woman, was charged with breaking a window at the house of Mr. Cook, Great Windmill-street, con fectioner and refreshment-house keeper. The prisoner went to Mr. Cook's yesterday, and said that ss Mr. Cook had locked up h©r friend for breaking his window he should go to the court again, and she then broke a pane of glass of the value of 123., and was banded over to Harris, 77 C.

The letter stated that he had spont all the money, had no food for three days, and was her contrite son. Mr. Selfo asked whether he was known. Mr. Craddock said he had lately found that ho had been discharged by a former master for dishonesty, and his mother was also aware of that fact. Prisoner was committed for trial. MARKETS.--This day. MARK LANE. There was a very poor show of English wheat hero to day. Tho attendance of both town and country millers being limited, the demand for all kinds ruled inactive ; nevertheless, Monday's prices were supported. The imports of foreign wheat are over 40,000 quarters. The show of samples was tolerably good, and sales pro gressed slowly, at late rates. Floating cargoes of grain were rather heavy. There was no English barley on sale, and the supply of foreign was very moderate. All descriptions supported late rates, with a fair inquiry. We were fairly supplied with malt, which changed hands slowly, on former terms. The oat trade, owing to excessive importations, was very inactive, at barely stationary prices. Beans sold on full terms, although the inquiry for them was by no means active. Peas and flour were held at extreme rates. Supplies were moderato. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Whoat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

It is generally conceded that the Cup Day at Goodwood attracts the most brilliant company of the whole week, and to-day was no exception, the attendance, independently of being the largest of the three days, being decidedly the most select and aristocratic. The Prince of Wales and Prince do Teck were again present, as were also the whole of the distinguished party staying at Goodwood House, the residence of the Duke of Richmond. The race of the day was of course for the Cup, but it will be observed that that valuable prize was contested for by the limited field of five runners. Soon after assembling on the course it trans pired that the pen had been put through the name of D'Estournel, and that Lecturer, the stable com panion of Vauban, would be an absentee. Consequent upon these announcements the race was looked upon in the light of a " moral " .for the Duke of Beaufort's colt, end general satisfaction was evinced when it became like'y that the two groat events of the meeting would fall to the nobl , Master of the Horse, the Duke of Beaufort, who had already won the GJodwJo I Stakes with Gomera. Vauhau, it is hardly necessary to say, won the Two Thousand, and, after being a good favourite, ran third fer the Dark:. The partisans of the Danebury stable have always maintained that staying was the special forte of Vauban, and they were greatly disappointed that he did not win the Derby, contending that he could not have lost had there been a good pace for Lim, Uncas entirely failing to fulfil his mission to make the pace sufficiently strong to be of ser vice to the son of Muscovite. The Cup was set for decision at the comparatively early hour of two o'clock, and the appearance of the competitors, who were all saddled prior to that time, created great interest. When the flag fell, Fordham rushed to the front with Miss Havelock to " take them along," and, owing to the zeal of the jockey, the Northamptonshire Stake victress was at one point of the race leading nearly a hundred yards. Her stable companion was always at the head of the others, and took up the running immediately she was in difficul ties. Daley called upon Regalia at the entrance into the straight, but she died away after making a momentary effort, and Tynedalo was left to do battle with Vauban. Cameron rode with great determination, but Parry exer cised great patience, and the favourite won in almost a park canter. Regalia was a bad third, and the issue proves, wh t has long been suspected, that the mare cannot stay. A. Sweepstakes of 200.sovs each, for two year olds; colts Bst 101 b; 31b and 51b allowed.

Betting-7 to 4on Vauban, 9to 4 agst Regalia, and 100 to 8 agst Tynedale. The preliminary canters were taken, and the two favourites were eagerly scanned by their respective admirers. Vauban, of course, received the lion's share of attention; but Regalia, by her free style of going and magnificent condition, gave renewed confidence to her friends. After parading in front of thestand Mr. M'George conducted the five competitors to the starting-post, and at once relieved the suspense of the spectators by giving the word to go. Fordham obeying his mission to force the pace for the favourite, sent Miss Havelock to the front, but althOugh she held a long lead she could go no Lace, notwithstanding resolute riding. Vauban lay next, about three-quarters of a length in advance of Tynedale, clear of whotn came Lord Glasgow's colt, ii •galia bringing up the rear. Beyond the fact that Miss Havelock increased her lead to nearly 100 yards as they approached the " Cluncp turn," and that the pace was wretchedly bad, no variation occurred until they appeared in sight from be hind the hill, when the Toxo2holite cult was observed to be in the rear of Regalia. The front rank hal also undergone some change, Vanban now being in close :uteri:lam:3 on Miss Havelock, and as they ascended the hill he took up the running, closely attended, however, by his stable companion, who gave way as they came into the straight, dropping a long way to the rear of everything. Daley now called upon Regalia, but, after a vain eff.ert, in which she just succeeded in getting to Tyned de's quarters, she died away to nothing, and the northern horse was alone left to do battle with the formidable Vauban. Most do term,nedly did Cameron ride to overhaul the favourite, but all his efforts were in vain, as Patty had but to sit and hold the Two Thousand winner, who won in a canter by three parts of a length. Regalia, completely pumped oat, was a bad third, Lord Glasgow's colt and Miss Havelock being beaten off. The time, as taken by Benson's chronograph, was as follows : —Start, 2h. 6m. 303.; arrival, 2h. l lin. 503. Duration of race, sm. 20s.

Taylor, of Lambeth, who had been under the train ing of Bob Bain, took the lead, but on nearing Southwark Bridge the blade of one of his sculls broke, which comp'.etely extinguished any chauc , 3 he may have had. Maxwell, of the Custom-house, then took the load, closely followed by Shaw. The rest of the race is easily described, as Shaw, in consequence of the bad position he obtained at starting►, was never able to overhaul Maxwell, and was beaten easily by about thirty yards. The others came straggling in, the last of all being Sewell of Horsleydown, whose boat filled with water every two or three minutes, which had to be bailed out.

Refined goods are rather dull, common lumps being quoted 92s per cwt.

'rho likeness is most accurate, and is a correct representation of his Imperial Majesty, the head itself being a perfect masterpioco of the art of modelling; the features , too, aro lifelike, and any one on entering the magnificent gallery, i n B a k er - s t ree t would at once imagine he was in the presence of the Em peror himself. ALPINE ACCIDENTS. " Who repeats in tones of sorrow the names of friend or relative that has perished among the soli tudes of the Higher Alps? The Junfrau's spotless snow, the crested summit of the Wetterhorn, Monte Rasa's craggy peaks, are all guiltless of the travel ler's blood. These and many other lofty pinnacles of Switzerland have welcomed the adventurous mountaineer, and death or severe accident is un known." Thus hardly more than ten years ago wrote a true-hearted gentleman, a skilled and dauntless cragsman, whose early fate, and not his only, stands out the saddest emphasis of contrast to his words. The Matterhorn catastrophe, in which he pedalled with his lamented companions, is far from stand ing alone on the black list which has accusuulated siuce those words were penned. At that time six and-thirty years had softened down the recollection of the fatal accident to Hamel's party on 'Mont Blanc, and six-and-twenty that of the loss of two Englishmen near the Col du Bonhomie in a tour mente. But only some three years more had passed when a series of fatal seasons commenced with the loss of Archdeacon Hardwick in descending from the Pic de Sauvegarde, near the Porte de Venasque in the Pyrenees, and of M. Grotto on the Findelen Glacier near Zermatt. These accidents occurred in 1859. In the year following we were' again saddened by the fatal accident in descend ing from the Col du Geant to Courmayeur, in which three young Englishmen and a guide perished; and before the last notes of that mournful in telligence had quite died away we had to mourn the loss of Mr. Watson in a crevasse on the Winacher Ferner in the Tyrol. The marvellous escape of Mr. Birkbeck, jun., on the northern glacier of Miage in 1861, after a slide from the Col to a point a full third of a mile vertically lower, is well known. In the same year a French lady, descending the Gemini on a mule, was thrown over the edge of the precipice and killed. Mr. Long man, jun, also had .a narrow escape in 1862 on the Aletsch Glacier, where he fell into a deep crevasse. The same year Bennen and his friend Professor Tyndall, aided by Sir John Lubbock, rescued a porter from a crevasse in the Aletsch Glacier, in which he had been wedged for more than an hour, entirely covered up by the snow and icicles which he had carried with him in his fall. Then followed a year of respite from fatal acci dent. But on the 28th February, 1864, a traveller, with the famous guide • Bennen and a porter, perished on the Haut de Cry near Sion, in an ava lanche, three of the party escaping. The same year a porter was lost in a crevasse on Mont Blanc, and Professor Tyndall and two friends, with the guides Jenni and Walther, had a narrow escape from worse than bruises on the Morteratsch Glacier. A still more terrible record belongs to the two fol lAbowrinntghnsneast by on lightning In the on the s e first, thenhildtehantrhn wasof Mrs. fol lowed by the catastrophe on the Matterhorn, and that almost immediately by the loss of Mr. Kny vett Wilson on the Riffelhorn, while the lapse of another ten days saw a third fatal accident on Monte Rosa by an avalanche, from which, however, all the party escaped except one of the porters. These three fatal occurrences took place within a fortnight on ground which might be swept by a radius of less than five miles. But still three more deaths were due to that year. In the the a s o fol lowing month Herr Hupner , of Dresden, p erished with his guide on Erlangen found a grave Titlis in a ; crev d asse, tudent descend f ing the Gross Venediger Spitz. Last year was hardly less fatal. Besides the two accidents and horse carriage n Mont Blanc, w hich resulted in the loss of five lives, three ladies , with the and there which convoyed the m, were p recipitated into the Tamina between Rag atz and Pfeffers, was at least o:ie othe r loss of life on the borders of the Lake Lucerne. This is a fearful array of ca sualties for only eig ht seasons, nor can it be re garded as absolutely c omplete. Bat if we set it d o wn that about 22 tr avellers and 11 guides or p or ters have perished in Al p ine ex p editions in the —Quarterly Review, new number. last eight years we shill not be far from the,truth. BESIEGING A THEATRE. 0.1 Tuesday morning, as some of the Hudders field policeiwn were taking the priioners from the lock-up to the Court Hons.., two bailiffs who were in possession at the theatre came to look at the pri soners. Instantly the resident manager closed the door and locked it inside, and without any loss of time he made all the windows and inlets secure, and then went to one of the windows and laughingly surveyed the discomfited bailiffs. A considerable crowd collected, and highly enjoyed the unexpected " lock out "of the sheriff's officers. Never did men appear more anxious than they for the ter mination of a lock out, and around the building they wandered, seeking for some unfastened door or window. They appeared to be under the im pression that it would be necossary to besiege the theatre, and some talked of smashing in the doors. To confirm the idea that they had the place in a state of siege, the resident manager appeared at ono of the windows with a belt round him, in which he had stuck a theatrical battle axe, whilst he carried in his hand a spear. Then he placed in the window a paper, upon which was written, "Notice—Man traps not on these premises," with a lino through the " not," and also a small placard inscribed in playbill style, "In preparation, a new piece, .entitled, I've done my duty, you do yours.'" This proceeding caused much mirth amongst the spectators, and cor responding irritation amongst the bailiffs, who had been strongly reinforced. Their chagrin and dis composure wss not at all lessened when another placard was put in the window which ran thus : ll — ' " Theatre Royal, Tuesday, July 30, 1868, ' As fair in love and war,' an interlude of ' Locked-out,' to conclude with the farce of the ' The biter bit. Principal characters, the sheriff's officers and the resident manager." Hours after that the bailiffs were walking round the building, not in the best of tempers, while the resident manager kept all fast, occasionally looking through a window as though m editating a sortie for prov isions. About 6 o'clock one of the bailiffs went down the coal cellar, and after groping about in the dark some time came upon the trap door underneath the sa mantage, g in. ot t h roug h it, and so once more bccatue Possession.—Leeds Mercury.
