MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The directors of the Bank of England have held their weekly court, and no alteration has been made in the rate of discount. Everywhere money is superabundant, and lenders experience the greate3t difficulty in finding borrowers for the funds at their disposal. At the 'meting held to-day of the London Dis trict Telegraph Company the report of the directors regretted that their statement showed so large a deficiency, but it was a circumstance which they believed and hoped would not recur again. At the meeting held to-day of the Port Philip and Colonial Gold Mining Company the report of the directors was adopted, and a dividend declared of ls. per share, out of a surplus, after discharging every liability in England, of £7,243, leaving £l,BBl to be carried forward. The report of the Alhambra Company for the half -year, ended 29th of June last, which is to be presented to the meeting on the 28th inst., shows that the gross receipts have exceeded the amount in the corresponding six of last year by £2,640. The available profit amounts to £6,302, and a dividend is recommended at the rate of 15 per cent., free of income tax, which will absorb £4,275, leaving the balance to be carried forward. The directors of the Millwall Freehold Land and Docks Company have issued a report to be presented at the forthcoming meeting, which states that the docks are near l y completed, and will be soon ready for the reception of ships. The London Steam Colliery and Coal Company (Limited) have declared an interim dividend for the last six months at the rate of 10 per cent. per an num. The whole of the first issue of 15,000 shares has been taken up, and the directors have decided upon issuing 3,000 only of the second issue. The list will then be closed. At the Bullion-office of the Bank of England yesterday there was an influx of 67,000 sovereigns from South America. Specie to the amount of £15,500 had arrived from New York by the City of Baltimore. The biddings for bills on India were held yester day at the Bank of England. The amounts allotted were—to Calcutta, 16.23.000r5. ; to Madras, 77.000 rs. ; and to Bombay, 10.00.000r5. The minimum price was fixed, as before, Is. 11d. on all the Presi dencies. Tenders at Is. 111 d. on Calcutta and Madras will receive about 90 per cent., and on Bombay about 47 per cent. ; all tenders above that price will receive in full.

Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Th e ; Rentes were Of. 70c. heavy., mprovement in the weather, the satisfactory /fleeting of the Emperors of France and Austria, the abundance of money, the favourable specie move ment, and other encouraging circumstances, are a ffording supp or t t o th e mar k e t f or th e E ng li s h fun ds. Consols, notwithstanding the weakening in fitlence of dulness of business, are well sustained, and they have to-day improved to the extent of per c ent., the latest prices being 94i for money, d 94i for the account.

There are no fewer than thirteen first-class British clipper-built ships engaged iu the great ocean race from China, and as the result will probably be known in a few days, the interest it is exciting in shipping and mercantile circles is considerable. The depression of freights to the owners and the flatness of the tea market have this year led to the with drawal of the premium formerly awarded as a prize to the first ship coming in. This, it was thought, would detract from the interest of the race ; on the contrary, the excitement is not diminished in the least. It will bo remembered that there were nine ships engaged in the last year's race, the winner being the Taeping, which managed to get into dock just half an hour before the Arid. Both ships arrived in the Downs simultaneously, not having sighted each other the whole passage from China, and the Serica was close in their rear, all three coming up to Gravesend nearly at the same time. These ships are also in this year's race. All the ships have been built under special survey, and are constructed on the composite principle—iron ribs and wood framing. There were fourteen in all, but one of them—the Taewan, with 780,5001bs of tea for her cargo—was lost close to Foo-chow foo on the day of her sailing ; two new ships, the Titania and the Sir Lancelot, which had been built expressly for the race, got dismasted on their way out to Chi na , an d cou ld no t b e repa i re d i n time. The names of the vessels that have started are as follows : The Maitland, 799 tons, built in 1865, classed A 1, at Lloyd's ) for 12 years. The Serica, 708 tons, built at Greenock in 1863, classed A 1 for 13 years ; owned by Messrs. Finlay and Co., of Greenock, and commanded by Captain Incas. The Taeping, 767 tons, built at Greenock in 1863, classed A 1 for 11 years; owned by Messrs. Rodgers and Co., Glasgow, and commanded by Captain Dowdy. (Her late captain died on the passage out.) The Fiery Cross, 880 tons, built at Liverpool in 1860, classed A 1 for 13 years ; owned by Messrs. Campbell, at that port, and commanded by Capt. Robinson. The Yang-tsze, 688 tons, built at Aberdeen in 1863, classed A 1 for 13 years ; owned by Messrs. Lewin and Co., and commanded by Capt. Kimball. The White Adder, 915 tons, built in the river Thames in 1863, classed A 1 for 10 years ; owned by Messrs. Willis and Co., of London, and com manded by Capt. Moore. The Ziba, built at Aberdeen in 1858, classed A 1 for 13 years ; owned by Messrs. Wade and Co., and commanded by Capt. Bowers. The Taitsing, 815 tons, built at Glasgow in 1861 classed A 1 for 14 years ; owned by Messrs. Fi n l a y _ _ and Co., and commanded by Capt. Nutsford. 'The Black Prince, 750 tons, built at Aberdeen in 1863, classed A 1 for 13 years ; owned by Mr. Finlay and Co., and commanded by Captain Inglis. The Ariel, 750 tons, built at Greenock in 1865, classed A 1 for 14 years; owned by Messrs. Phillips, Royal Exchange-buildings, commanded by Captain Keary. The Flying Spur, 733 tons, built at Plymouth in 1860, classed A 1 for 12 years ; owned by Messrs. Robinson, of London, and commanded by Captain Rvne. The Chinaman, 688 tons, built at Greenock in 1865 ; owners Messrs. Park Brothers, commanded by Captain Downie. The Golden Spur, 657 tons, built at Guernsey in 1864, commanded by Captain Lacbeur. The dates of the sailing of the ships from Foo chow-foo for London are—Maitland, May 31; Serica, June 2 ; Taeping, June 4 ; Fiery Cross, June 5 ; White Adder, June 7 ; Ziba, June 8 ; Flying Spur, June 9 ; Black Prince, June 10 ; Taitsing, June 10 ; Yang-tsze, June 12 ; Ariel, June 13 ; Chinaman, June 15 ; Golden Spur, June 18. The latest news of the race is from Anjer, which reports that the Taeping passed the Heads on the 27th of June. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENIN3, AUGUST 22, 1867. SHARE LlST—This Day.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Baron Bramwell.) THE TAILORS' STRIKE. The three defendants fount guilty yesterday were not called up for sentence this morning, but at the sitting of the court an application was made on be half of the men committed from Marlborough-street on Saturday last for a postponement of their trial until next session on the ground that the short time that had elapsed since the commitment had been in sufficient for the preparation of the defence. Baron Bramwell refused to assent to the applica- tion, and the trial of the defendants was then pro ceeded with, the evidence proving the picketing was merely a repetitio❑ of that given yesterday. The result of the trial will not be known until very late in the evening. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Slice.) Alice Ellison, 22, was indicted for wilfully setting fire to a house situated in Gloucester-place, Park road, Peckham. The prisoner pleaded Lot guilty. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was in the service of the prosecutor, and on the occasion of a slight quarrel it was alleged she pro ceeded up stairs, and after remaining there some time came down and said something was the matter. Shortly after it was discovered the bedroom was on fire, and it was on the belief that the prisoner had caused the fire that she was given into custody. There were other persons in the house at the time the fire was discovered. Mr. M. Williams defended the prisoner and urged upon the jury the improbability that a person for such a trifling cause would commit so great a crime. It was also very possible that some of the children about the house might have occasioned the fire by playing with lucifer matches. The jury, without waiting for the learned judge to sum up, returned a verdict of not guilty. A lad named Sinclair was indicted for occasioning actual bodily harm to a little girl, aged 12 years of age. The case was clearly proved against the pri soner, and the judge sentenced him to twelvemonths' imprisonment with hard labour. THIRD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Patrick Quill, Thomas Newmay, Mary Ann Walker, and Clara Johnson were found guilty on an indictment charging them with highway robbery. The learned judge sentenced Newman to eighteen, Quill to six, Walker to nine, and to Johnson nine months' imprisonment, with bard labour. Edward Paul, Edward Lewis, and Edward Hard ing were found guilty of burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Joseph Woodger, and stealing therefrom four coats and other articles. The learned Judge sentenced Paul to six, Lewis to 12, and Harding to 18 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. SHOCKING 7R,IGEDY IN KENT. A shocking occurrence happened at Crayford on Tuesday evening, resulting in the death of a young woman and the arrest of a young man, by whom she was shot. Frederick Skinner, aged 26, employed as a stoker at the Crayford Gas Works, was in a beer-shop and commenced larking with a young woman named Eliza Millis. He ultimately whirled her into the brew-house, and in three or four minutes after he was heard to say, " I'll shoot you, Eliza," and the report of a gun was heard, on which the neighbours rushed to the spot, and found gunpowder smoke issuing from the room, the young woman dead on the floor with part of her head blown away, and her hat and hair in flames. A woman s lid, " Fred, what have you done?" and he replied " I have shot poor Eliza," after which he had several severe fits which threatened to terminate his life. Skinner was taken into custody. On the road to the police-station he said the young woman got hold of the gun and he took it from her ; and, b - lieving it to be unloaded, he pointed it at her and pulled the trigger twice without any effect, but on pulling it a third time the gun went off and shot her dead. It afterwards transpired that the gun bad been previously loaded, capped, and placed in the little room to be in readiness to shoot birds from the fruit trees by a man living at the beer house. Frederick Skinner was brought up 3 esterday at the Woolwich Police Court, charged with causing the death of Eliza Mills, aged 26, a single woman, living with her mother at Crayford. Sergeant Reynolds, 13 R, said the previous even ing he received information at Bexley Heath Police-station that a young woman had been shot at Owen's beer-shop, Crayford. Ile went there in company with a constable, aid found the house surrounded by a large number of people. 11l a little room leading out of the corn-house he found the body of the young woman Millis. A portion of her face had been blown away by a gun-shot, and her hat and hair partially burnt. Mr. Grantham, a surgeon, of Crayford, was there, and stated death was instantaneous. The prisoner was terribly agi tated, and was recovering from some severe fits caused by the excitement. When told by witness he must take him into custody the prisoner expressed his willingness to accompany him, saying it was an a ccident, and that the d ecease d an d he were playing t o gether, when she to o k th e gun , an d he took it from her. He pointed the weapon towards her, believing it was not loaded. (The sergeant here produced the gun, an old rusty one, used for shooting birds.) Sarah Andrews, living at Owens-cottages , Cray ford, said that on hearin g th e r eport of the gun she went to the place and f oun d smo ke issuing from the room in question, and deceased's hat and hair on fire. On the flames being extinguished they found the young woman d ea d, an d th e prisoner leaned over her and kissed h er , wee ping bitterly as he did so. Martha Bowkett, living at 0 wen's beershop, Cray ford, said that about 6 o'clock the previous evening ;he prisoner left his work and came into 0 wen's beershop and asked witness for a cup of tea, which she refused to give him, and he left, saying, .‘ I will go and ask Eliz 1, to give me one." The had been picking p eas all day, and was in house boiling a k e ttl e for her own tea. tdielecebasreedwh The prisoner commenced larking with her, put his arms and whirled her into a little room round leading hero u tof waist,the brewhouse. They fell on the floor together, the prisoner being uppermost. In two or three minutes witness heard a gun dis dis- charged. A gun belonging to Mr. 0 wen was kept in the little room, to be used for shooting birds from fruit trees. Witness's husband loaded and capped it, leaving the hammer down on the cap. The gun was always kept in the same place, and the door locked, but deceased had had the key that evening for the purpose of putting the peas there. The prisoner and the deceased frequently " larked " to gether, and on the evening in question they both appeared in good temper. Pheebe Heywood, living in 0 wen's-yard, Cray ford, said when deceased and prisoner were in the little room she heard him say, " I will shoot you, Eliza," and witness immediately afterwards heard the report of a gun. She (witness) ran across the yard to the place, and addressing the prisoner said, " Fred, what have you done?" and he replied, in a greatly agitated manner, " I have shot poor Eliza ; but did not mean to do it." Mary Millis, the aged mother of the deceased, was next examined, and exhibited the most painful distress. She said she had once or twice seen her daughter in the prisoner's company, but believed they were not in the habit of being much together. Sergeant Reynolds said he understood there were witnesses who could be brought forward to show that there had been a more intimate acquaintance between the prisoner and the deceased than the mother appeared to be aware of. Mr. Maude remanded the prisoner for the pro duction of the witnesses alluded to. The prisoner maintained a stolid silence through out the proceedings, and declined to cross-examine the witnesses; but was evidently impressed with a sense of his serious and painful position. NEW ROYALTY THEATRE.—The King of the HeHones and suite, attended by Major Teesdale, honoured this theatre with tas Proono ola Tuesday °yelling. POLICE INT L—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. THE ATTEMPTED FORGERY UPON TILE UNION BANK OF SCOTLAND.—David Johnson, alias W. Williams, was again placed before the Lord Mayor, on remand, charged with attempting to procure the engraving of certain steel plates to represent the notes payable by the Union Bank of Scot land to the extent of £30,000. The evidence was still incompletcd, and the prisoner was again remanded. GUILDHALL. EXTRAORDINARY CONFESSION OF A ROBBERY.—JaMOS Rowe, a young man of respectable appearance, was brought before Sir John Musgrove, the presiding magistrate, charged, on his own confession, with having stolen a cash-box, containing £5, the property of his em ployers, Messrs. CLald, Riggs, Randall, and Son, solicitors, of 17, Tokenhouse-yard. From the evidence it appeared that for some days the prisoner followed the policeman in question from place to place, stating that ho had committed a robbery, and re questing him to take Mtn into custody. As he would not at first state what was the robbery, the policeman declined to take him into custody ; but when he entered into par ticulars he took him to the station, where the charge was entered. It further appeared that, the prisoner had passed a largo sum of money, which he returned to the owners, showing a very honest feeling on his part. The worthy Alderman considered that the conduct of the prisoner indicated an unsound state of mind, and remanded him for a week, in order that he might be examined by a medical man. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT IN THE POLICE COURT.—Sarah Call, a low-looking woman, was charged before Mr. Knox with behaving in a disorderly manner in the police-court. From the evidence of Wm. Boden, one of the officers of the Court, it appeared that on the previous day the prisoner came to the Court in a state of semi-drunkenness—her son, a boy about 12 years of age, having been , brought before the magistrate (Mr. Tyrwhitt) for bogging—and sot to abusing the magistrate for sending the boy to prison, making use of the most filthy language. Sbe was put out of the Court, and when in the waiting-room threw herself down and abused all the officers of the Court, and con ducted herself is such a disgraceful manner that she was compelled to be locked up. Mr. Knox said the prisoner sent her boy out to beg and lived on the wages of his misery, and she had got drunk on gin and leer purchased by money got by the boy, and she came to the Court and abused the magistrate and the officers of the Court in a disgraceful manner. Ho should fine her 405., or a month. THE Pooß SOLDlER.—Sergeant Cowdy, of the Park constables, attended before Mr. Knox with respect to Patrick Shea, the poor soldier, whose c ase has been already fully reported. Mr. Knox said that ho had received a communication from Cul. Tyr whitt, stating that the Queen had granted an order for a special bed for Shea at the Hospital for Consumption, Brompton. Some of the money which had been forwarded for Shea would be given to him when re quired to provide him with comforts, and the balance would be kept to form a little fund for his future benefit. Shea is very grateful for the kindness which has been shown him. THAMES. SOMERSAULTING IN THE COMMERCIAL-ROAD. Two boys, named Edward and David Phillips, brothers, one aged eight, the other ten, years of age, were brought be fore Mr. Paget, charged with vagrancy. A police constable said the boys, who were almost naked, were tumbling head over heels alongside the omnibuses in the Commercial-road, and halfpence were thrown to them by the passengers. Mr. Paget said the nuisance had become intolerable, and was latterly dAngerous. It was encouraged by stupid people who threw pence and halfpence to the children. Mr. Livingston, the chief usher—l have often trembled for the safety of the children engaged in the sport. They are in continual danger of rolling under the wheels. A policeman—Some have been killed, and others maimed for life. _ _ Mr. Paget—What is the condition of those boys in the dock ? I can only see their heads. Mr. Livingston—Most wretched. They have neither shoes, stockings, nor any linen on their persons, and the few rags on them cannot be called garments. They are very dirty and have been badly fed. The mother of the boys was called into the witness-box She was tolerably well dressed in black and looked in ex cellent case, plump, chum, and well fed. She _said her husband was a dock labourer, and he had only earned Is. 6d. this week. She had throe younger children, and there was nine in family iu all. She could not obtain clothes for her children. _ _ . Mr. Paget - And you send these miserable children into the road to tumble alongside the omnibuses, and endanger their lives. The foolish passengers who throw money to them ought to be punished. They encourage vagrancy and disorder in the public streets. The prisolers were then remanded to Clerkenwell House of Detention for a week. Charles Warner, a well-dressed boy, about 12 years of age, was thou charged with a similar offence. A con stable detected him tumbling alongside the omnibuses. Police-sergeant Smith, 47 K, said the prisoner had a tight shirt, and was made up for tumbling last night, and that he boasted he could make d. and ls. per day tumbling head over heels in the road for the amusement of omnibus passengers, and threw somersaults in the public-houses every night. Mr. Paget told the prisoner's mother that she ought to be ashamed of herself to send out her son to tumble in the s t reet s. lie would most probably bo brought home dead if he did nonliscontinue his tumbling. Tho prisoner was remanded for seven days. MARKETS.---This day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The supply of beasts here to-day was only moderate, but in good condition.

A letter from Bombay, dated July 22, gives the following details of the loss of the ship Tirzah, off Henery Island and lighthouse : The monsoon, after holding back for a long time, and being at least a month over-due, has at length burst upon us with great force, and the violence of the wind and of the waves has resulted in the total loss of the ship Tirzah, on the night of the 17th inst. under the following circumstances :—The captain of the vessel, which sailed from Newcastle, New South Wales, bound for Bombay, it appears had not heard of the erection of the Henery lighthouse, and observing a bright light fixed before him mistook it for the light of Colaba lighthouse (which by-the-by, is a revolving light). The result was obvious. Ile was soon among the rocks, in a very heavy sea and terrific wind, and his ship soon became a total wreck. Mr. Mien F. Shuttleworth, deputy conservator of forests, has stationed him self this monsoon at the collector's bungalow at Alibaugh, and from the beach adjacent early on the morning of the 18th he noticed that a ship was in distress off lionery Island. Ile im mediately collected a crew from among the native fishermen of the village of Alibaugh, and started off with them in the lifeboat to the rescue. The surf was heavy and the breakers high, and they were soon drenched with spray. Eventually they came to the vessel, and succeeded in throwing a line on board. Several lines were thrown from the ship, but the tide was running so strong that they were swept away. All on board the Tirzah who could swim jumped overboard and swam to the boat, and were hauled on board, with the exception of a boy, who, although a good swimmer, could how not r each the boat, so strong was the tide. He, - ever, managed to swim to the island of ilenery, or Oondari, and, next morning, having recruited his strength, swam across to the mainland. A man who never swam before in his life jumped overboard from the Tirzah and paddled, while the tide drifted him down to the boat, when he was pulled in. Another, not so fortunate, lashed him self to a plank, and, when near.the boat, a heavy breaker swept him away. A lifebuoy was thrown out to him, but he would not leave his hold of the plank to seize the buoy, and so was lost. The captain was the last of the swimmers who left the ship. As soon as he got on board the boat he told Mr. Shuttleworth that none of those remaining on board could swim, and so he had ordered them to tie themselves to the line which made the lifeboat fast to the ship and jump overboard. The men tied themselves as directed ; but some jumped inside the chains and others jumped outside—the sea rolled them round and round. Two were thus drowned, their bodies hanging on the back ropes, and two went down like stones. As the tide made the sea rose until round the ship it be came a mass of broken water. The boat was knocked about like a cork, and tho people inside tumbled about as if tossed in a blanket. Considering the crowded state of the oat, the As there inmatewas no chance s stood immi neat risk of being b capsized. of rendering further held to the men on the wreck, and as by staying there longer they jeopardised the lives of the 27 men who were in the boat, the last steering oar being smashed, and the sea increasing in fury, they were reluctantly compelled to cut the line holding them to the wre ck and run into Thull Creek. On reaching the shore a consultation was held, and Mr Shuttleworth was very anxious to go off again to the wreck with a crew composed of but ten men of the survivors to rescue the remainder; but as, meanwhile, not a vestige of the fou r of remained, as both the s teering oars and four the pulling oars were go ne, and as there seemed to be no hope of doing any good when they got there, with every probability of the men landing on pieces of wreck which covered the water, the proposal was abandoned as a useless risk. The result was as they anticipated—the chi f e officer and seven men floated in on p ieces of plank ing, &c. ; the captain and 13 men were brought on shore by Mr. Shuttleworth i n the Alibaugh life boat, and the boy who drifted ou to Renery (or Oondarf) Island brings the total number of to saved up to 23, the crew all told amounting 31. Eight are therefore missing, Of whom four were seen to drown alongside the ship ; one floated away on a plank, and, being an old m an, no h o pes are entertaine d of finding him alive; it is feared that the other three have also met with a watery grave. The lifeboat is not a self relieving one, and it took three men with buckets e , baling as fa st as they could, to keep th water from swamping her. Several of the men, in cluding the captain, reached the shore in a state of nudity. The fishermen who manned the lifeboat showed the utmost consideration for the unfortunatthe e m en, and threw off their own clothing to cover officers and seamen as soon as they were taken into the boat. The coast is now strewn f o r miles with debris of the wreck. Bank of England Returns.—This Evening.

The flies cer tainly have had something to do with this, but the princi pal cause lies in the sluggish state of the manufacture and in the condition of the various markets, which excludes all desire to speculate. Prices are understood to be maintained only in consequence of the rarity of wrought silks, and the belief is that, as soon supplyhave on water, the position will change, j and holdersf show w themselves more easy. This scarcity of wr o ught a les it morefs moret han is, besides, not such that the markets could support any con sid h erabl l e v a it r h ri nnth ; ) onoug . it wo is uld diff s o s and more offered, especially in Asiatic silk, which is flossthere si l silk now being replaced by good European for several articles. Although the English holders continue firm, we cannot d ou bt that they w ill at length comprehend the difficulties of their position in the present state of things; and the pre sumption is, that if they do not decide to regulate their prices by the condition of European silks, they will not for a long time be able to get rid of their stocks." Mr. W. MORRISON, M.P., AND HIS CONSTI TI7ENTS. —On Tuesday evening Mr. W. Morrison attended a public meeting at the Mechanics' Institution, Plymouth, and explained at great length his conduct during the Re form debates in the recent session of Parliament, justify ing his support of the Government amended proposal as beiug the course best calculated to insure the passing of any measure. After stating the reasons which induced. him to take part in the tea-room meeting, the hon. gentle man proceeded to vindicate his votes in favour of abolish ing the compound householder and for the representation of minorities, in respect of which votes dissatisfaction had been expressed by some among his constituents. Mr. Williamson, secretary to the Plymouth branch of the Re form League, moved a resolution condemning Mr. Morri son's action in respect of Mr, llibbord's amendment, and in support of the represen t a tion of minorities ; but, after the cou rse which Mr. Morrison had pursued was agreed to by a large majority.
