' l 7 MONEY MARKET A ND COMMERCIAL kiaTELLIGENiIt, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Business in the general discount market remains very quiet, and as the capital on offer is still abun dant, uo change can be reported in the rates current for accommodation. There were no gold :operations of importance a• 1 the Bank of England on Saturday. The Pera has arrived with specie, &c., amount• jag to £18,400. Large transactions took place in all speculative funds at Berlin on the 18th inst. notwithstanding the panic on the French Bourse ; the tendency was firm, and it was believed by the stockjobbing public that, after all, peace would not be interrupted. Austrian and American funds were slightly altered, and Russian flat. There had been no business transacted in railway shares, and quotations were lower. From Vienna it is stated the Anglo-Austrian Bank would distribute to their shareholders an extra dividend of 25 florins per share, and that the emis sion of the Crown Prince Rudolf Railway Deben tures will not yet take place. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week represent that business generally has shown symptoms of improvement. At Man chester some rather large purchases have been effected in cloths and yarn, and prices have shown a slightly improved tendency. At Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield a fair amount of business has been effected in heavy fabrics, chiefly for home consump tion, but at slightly reduced rates. In the hosiery and lace dep ar t men t s o f L e i ces t er an d N o tti ng h am there has also been an improvement in the demand for home purposes, and spring goods to s° lll e extent have been taken by the wholesale houses. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver hampton, and most of the other hardware districts, a more cheerful tone has been apparent, and symp toms of a return to activity have presented them selves in most of the principal departments of trade, although as regards the export trade the orders received from the United States have as yet been under the average of former seasons. Business in the corn market this morning exhi bited rather mo re an i m ation. The large arrivals of forei gn grain at ports of call, viz., about 120,000 .q u arters, having caused holders to moderate their t erms, a fall of 3s. to 4s. per quarter has been estab lished. The directors of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company have issued their report, showing the result of the working for the half year ended 30th June last. In addition to the augmentation of the disbursements in the working account, arising from the sickness in the West Indies, the charges for coals have been further increased by higher rates of freight, and the items of provisions a nd stores, by the rise in price of many articles in general use. The credit side of the wor king account, compared with the first half-year of 1 866, shows a very large falling off in the receipts, Th e greate r p art o f wh i ch occurs i n passage money . rhe unsettled condition of Mexico, the effect upon Brazil of the continuance of the war with Paraguay, a diminution in the shipments of specie, and the generally depressed state of trade, are, no doubt, Partly the causes of this falling off in the receipts ; but the decrease is chiefly owing to the absorption of traffic by other lines of steam communication, of Which the French West India Mail Service—highly subsidised and carried on under a contract for a l ong term of years—is the most serious in its effect upon this company'sr earnings. The directors c ongratulate the shareholders on the satisfactory state of the insurance fund, and recommend a distribution of £3 per share, free of income tax, including profit from the insurance account, pay able on the 26th inst. The general reserve fund amounts to £4,939. The half-yearly interest of the Central Argentine Railway Company has been declared at 7 per cent. on fully paid up shares, and is now in course of pay ment at the London and Westminster Bank. A telegram just received from Path states that the French fleet has not yet sailed. The directors of the St. John d'El Rey Mining Cornp a n.y (Limited) have received the following re port, dated Morro Velho, 17th Sept., 1867 :—Pro duce for August, 45,918 oitavas ; from 5,873 tons ore yield 7,356 oitavas per ton ; cost for Augnct, days ; profit for August, £7,306 ; produce, 11 of September, 13,202 oitavas ; yield, 6,543 he ld per ton. A meeting of the company will be ' e ld this afternoon for the purpose of electing a -ireet°r7 . in place of Mr. John Distin Powles, dece ased Atl antic and Great W e ste r n Railway Debentures il re steady at 24 25; and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds at 19f 20k.

Nothing having o , :eurr e d to affect the " insurance account," the directors congratulate the sha re h o ld ers on th e satis :fter ory position o f t h at f und, and on the substantial itlll.llB they have from time to ti me d er i ve d f rom . order to meet the views of the Government regard to public representations from the manufacturing districts, it has been agreed that the h oe Indian packets shall call at Plymouth on their fails, for passage to Southampton to land the a "s, for which the company will receive a sum be *tteved to be sufficient to cover the expenses of the es tablish e d Service. The line of steam communication ttBtThlished by the Panama, New Zealand, and Aus ralian Royal Mail Company, via the Panama route ° New Zealand and Australia, having now been in °Pera.tion over 12 months, satisfaction is expressed t at t he successful manner in which the service, em isfaciug the long ocean voyage from Panam a t o e el"*Zealand, and vice versa, has been, from th e t'raltencoment, performed. orYland'a Iron Trade Circular, dated 19th inst., ates that the general iron trade has this week 14°Ivil s ome susceptibility of the depression ex i s ti ng all markets, abroad and at home.

Tho assent of tho Now York and Newfoundland Company has not yet been obtained to some of the minor details, but the proposed reduction has received the assent of all the parties interested. It is proposed to reduce the present charge of £lO to £5 for a message of ton words, giving five words not exceeding twenty-five letters for the name and address of the sender and receiver of the message. All extra charges for code messages are to bo abolished, the rate being the same as for ordinary business. Tho com panies, however, reserve to themselves the right of de clining to send any particular form of code which may be offered to them. For my word over and above ton, and five for name and address, the charge will be Is. W. The reduction is to taLo effect on the Ist of November, and pro vision is made in the agreement for a further revision of the tariff, and return to original rates if the receipts dur ing the current three mouths do not reach a certain speci fied sum.—Railway 'TELEGRAPHIC CABLE BETWEEN FRANCE AND AMERICA. —The Debats contradicts the statement that the Government has granted a concession for a submarine tele graphic cable between Franco and the United States, adding that the State will give neither subsidy nor privi lege, but will leave the undertaking to bo accomplished by private enterprise. rHE SUN, LONuON, MONDAY EVENING, OCFOBEit 2t, 1867. i Paid.?

MARK LANE. The country markets held on Saturday were heavy for wheat, at a declino in the quotations of from is to 3s per quarter. In the value of other kinds of produce very little has change taken place. The Continental markets have become loss active for all kinds of grain. In America prices continue high, although the supplies of wheat and flour are on the increase. Last week's imports into London were 14,381 quarters of wheat, 9,511 barley, 25,726 oats, 2,930 beans, 210 peas, 6,137 linseed, 12,012 rapeseed, 3,289 maize, 303 sundry, 1,670 sacks and 6,065 barrels of flour. The few samples of English wheat on offer were dis posed of at full prices; but foreign parcels were very dull at barely late rates. Malt moved off slowly ; nevertheless, the quotations were supported. The supply was tolerably good. There was a dull sale for oats at Gd per quarter less money. We were well supplied with foreign wheat, which moved off heaTily at au average fall of Irons 2s to 33 per quarter. Floating cargoes of wheat gave way fully 2s per qr. There was au increased supply of English wheat on sale hero to-day, coastwise and by land-carriage. As very few millers were in attendance, and as there was a large quantity of foreign wheat on offer off the coast, the trade was in a most active state, at a decline in the quotations, compared with this day se'nnight, of from 3s to 4s per qr., and a clearance of the stands was not effected. Beans wore quite as dear as last week, although the sale for them was far from active. Peas commanded quite as much money as of late. The supply was only moderate. The sale for both English and foreign floor was rather heavy at barely stationary prices. In agricultural seeds, as well as cakes, only a moderate business was doing. Linseed and rapeseed were tolerably firm. SHARE LlST—This Day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways.

The show of sheep was moderate, but we observed a alight falling off in their quality. No quotable change took place in prices, but the sale for all kinds was very in active. Some of the foreign sheep wore very fat. Prime small calves were in fair request, at full prices. Large calves were very dull, at barely late rates. The quotations ranged from 4s 2d to 5s 2d per 81bs. We were well supplied with pigs, which met a slow in quiry at last Monday's currency, viz., from 3s 4d to 4s 2d per 81b. The foreign pigs came to hand in good saleable condition. Our market, to-day, was seasonably-well supplied with each kind of foreign stocks, which moved off slowly, at last week's decline in the quotations. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with beasts, fresh up from our own grazing districts, and the general quality of the supply was good. There was no fresh stock from Scotland ; but the arrivals from Ire land were rather extensive. For all breeds we have to report a slow sale at last Monday's currency. The highest figure was 4s 10d per 81bs.

Julius displayed wonderful form in the Cesarewitch, and Challoner, probably not to expose the hollow style in which ho won, certainly did not ride his horse out to the finish, or I question if the four lengths could not have been made fourteen. However, he has very different company to meet over this course, and with the heavy weight of Bst 91b, I look upon his winning as quite hope less, although he might struggle into a place. Westwick is not likely to run so forward this journey. Laneret be kings to Mr. Geo. Bryan, a thorough Sportsman. Had it not been for the suspicious manner in which he was ridden at York there is very little question he would have had a stone less on his back, and proved a most dangerous can didate for the Cesarewitch as well as this race. Looking at the weight of the Duke of Newcastle's horse, Fripon nior, Knight of the Garter, and even Blinkhoolie, this good-looking son of Newminster is by no means badly in. He was backed early last year for large sums of money for the Derby ; and although he started for it that could be no test of his merit, as he had been lame and was not at all prepared. The horse is wonderfully well, and will, I believe, have the assistance of George Fordham. He should have no difficulty in beating all the heavy weighted three-year olds. Fripponier has proved him self, over short courses, the best horse of his year. Knight of the Garter has also public form to recommend him, and is sure to finish in the first flight; in fact, I give him the preference over Hippia, and all the three-year olds down to Wroughton. Treasure Trove has only an outside chance, and is no fancy of mine. The Duke of York and Tormentor are both backed from thelsame stable, and which is meant will be near winning. Dragon is about the best public performer in the race, and if he do not win he is almost certain to octal" a situation. Acta3a has a better class of horses to contend against than she had last year. The money market is usually a good criterion, and she ought to be kept on the safe side. Nu will run for Lord Poulett, and is in rare form. She ran second for this race two years ago. Wroughton has only to be in the same form as when he ran Vauban to a head in the spring, to beat all comers. Rococo will msot likely represent T. Dawson's stable, with a very indi ferent chance in my estimation. Blinkhoolie looks like giving way to his stable companion, Knight of the Garter. Lozenge is " turned loose," and will run very forward Captain Kidd has been backed by his owner to win a few thousands. Jeuno Premiere will prove the best of the French division, and is fancied by some good judges. La Dauphine is an uncertain horrse, and King Victor is not backed, otherwise I should have a good opinion of Mr.! Bevill's horse, who, I know, was tried to be a clinker before the October Handicap. Wolsey would be the most dangerous outsider in the race if heicould stay. Honesty is again first favourite, and although he will be more at home over this short distance of ground. I do not expect to see him win. Armourer is a very good-looking horse, and ran fast to the bushes, and if he comes to the post will be at the winner's heels. Grey Stocking has improved every time she has started lately, and will run a good horse. The judge I expect will place LANARET and ACT/EA. and if an outsider is destined to overthrow the above, it will be DRAGON, who bdongs to the French division, and who has performed wonderfully well both in this country and on the Continent. A FRESH MAN. Ammunition, 4 yrs, is for sale on Wednesday next at Newmarket. The filly by Wild Dayroll out of Emily (3 yrs) has been named Ainsley.

THE PRIZE RlNG.—Bell's Life fears " that the prize ring is on its very last legs, and that:unless the mem bers of the Ring themselves take affairs in hand, the ropes and stakes, as of old, may be buried without regret." From time to time encounters have taken place within the last 10 years that have revived sanguine hopes, viz., Sayers and Heenan—the topic of the world's conversation —Hurst and Mace, King and Mace, King and Heenan, &c., but " as a counterbalance there have been several failures, of which the least said the better, but the result tells its own sad tale in the gradual falling off of the old stock of Ring fre - quenters, and the almost total absence of new blood." Not .withstanding these forebodings, our contemporary has a list of no less than ten " fights to come," the date being given in each case. KELSO—AtiGLINCI IN TILE TWEED. —Owing to the rain on Thursday, the Tweed and its tributaries swelled considerably on Friday, and were much discoloured.

The army, under Pre sident General Mitre, being unable to co-operate with the fleet, was entrenching itself against attack fron the Paraguayans at Tuju-cue, equally unable to make any move ; President Mitre casting the blame of the bad position they had got into on the Marquis Caxias, the Brazilian commander, while the latter attributed all the blame to the incapacity of the former, and this has naturally caused an ill feeling to spring up between the two commanders, which it is probable will do more to bring about a rupture of the Triple Alliance, and an end to this struggle, than anything else might have done. The most important feature of the fortnight has been the change in the Argentine Cabinet. Dr. Elizalde, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Dr. Costa, of Education, have both resigned, and tha Vice-President has named as their successors Dr. Ugarte and Senor Uriburn. The leading fea ture of the new Ministers is their opposition to a continuance of the war, and they are strongly in favour of peace, as they deem it impossible to carry out the policy of the Mitre Administration, and in this they are strongly supported by the press and the public, as it is felt that the war has lasted too long; and owing to the strength of Humaita and the natural defences of the country, the Paraguayans are able to maintain a successful resistance against the combined strength of the Allies. Cholera had again made its appearance at Tujuti and Tuju-cue, and fears were entertained that the camp would again have to be removed. LIFEBOAT SERVICE.—CARNAItVON, I'londay. (By Tele,grapli.)—The Manchester Lifeboat of the National Institution, named the John Gray Bell, and stationed at Liamidwyn, Anglesey, was instrumental this morning in rescuing the crew of the b ar q ue James Campbell, Captain Jenkinson, wrecked ou Carnarvou Bay. DEATH OF MADAME BOLENo.—Madatne Bolen() the dancer and columbine, on Wednesday afternoon was seized with a fit, and, it is supposed, broke a blood vessel. The unfortunate lady expired on Friday. Madame Boleno and her husband were engaged for the season for the pan tomime at Drury-lane Theatre. ATTEMPTED RESCUE OF A PRISONER.—On Satur day an attempt was made to rescue a. man as ho was being conveyed from the Bloomsbury station to gaol.

STEALING TILE MARCHIONESS OF HASTINGS'S [The following appeared in our Latest Edition en Sa.tur. day evening.] John Thomas Bell was placed at the bar charged with stealing six valuable rings, the property of the Marchioness of Hastings, from her ladyship' s boudoir at the St. George's Hotel, Albemarle. street. The Marchioness of Hastings having identafi e d the riugs as her property, Inspector Silverton repeated his evidenze with respect to the apprehending of the primyaer, and also the same version of the matter which the soner repeated to him as well as Mr. Lampert. Mr. Sleigh then summed up the tavideucc which he had adduced to prove the case. Mr. Ribton addressed the jury for the prisoner. He said the matter was of the most vital import,. auce, and a sensational character had been given to the prosecution in consequence of the comTlnnts that had been made upon it in some of th.e daily newspapers. The learned counsel for the prosecu tion contended that he had satisfactorily proved the case, but ho did ii)t think that they would be of that opinion. His learned friend had told them that the prisoner had stolen the property, and that it could not have been given to him. But were they clear on that matter. It seemed to him (Ur. Ribton) out of the question that the prisoner should have been enabled to obtain the property, because it was quite impossible that he could have entered the hotel, and proceeded to the Marchoness's bed-room, and their rifled her jewel case without observation. Then, again, if the prisoner had stolen the rings, was it at all feasible he would have been found attempting to dispose of the property without the slightest attempt at concealment. The version of the prisoner that the rings were given to him by a lady was not so absurd as the counsel for the prosecu tion wished them to believe. If the rings had been stolen the thief would, without doubt, have taken the jewel-case with its contents en tire, and not have left about twenty other rings. remaining in it. There were a great many families staying at St. George's Hotel, each of whom, of course, had a lady's maid, and there was no know ing what some of these persons might not have done. The prisoner might have been invited into the hotel by some one, and that person might have been liberal to the prisoner out of Lady Hastings' jewel case. The present was not a case of receiving —it was for stealing ; and if they could not find tho prisoner guilty of stealing they must acquit him. The Assistant-Judge summed up the case to the jury, and remarked that everything that could be said, and a great deal which it had been better should never been said, had been addressed to them, but strip ping the case of the fringe that had been attached to it, it became one of the most simple that had been submitted to the jury. The prisoner was found in the possession of stolen property, and it was for him to satisfactorily account for it. With respect to the observation of the learned counsel, about selecting six rings instead of taking the whole, it appeared to him that had the thief done so he would have had to have carried the case with the marchioness's crest about with him for some time, the discovery of which would have been proof positive on his being captured, and another reason why he did not do so was, that if the box hal been carried off the robbery would have been very soon discovered, instead of its being some time before only some of its contents were discovered to be missing. If the jury believed the story the prisoner told with respect to the lady giving him the rings then they would acquit him, but if not they would find him guilty of the present charge. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty. A former conviction of an hotel robbery at Bishopwearmouth during the present year .was proved against the prisoner. ➢ir. Sleigh asked the Assistant - Judge whether he would not respite the prisoner's sentence until the next session, in order that the prisoner might give any information as to whether he had any accomplice in the robbery. The Assistant-Judge said, the case being closed, he could now state his opinion ; he did not think the prisoner had an accomplice, but he thought some person had given him information as to the con struction of the building. Mr. Sleigh said it had been stated in the news papers that the present trial had been postponed in order that tho Marquis of Hastings might be present at Newmarket races. Such was not the fact ; the trial had been postponed in order that the former conviction might be pro cured from Sunderland. He would take that opportunity of informing the court that the prisoner was an adept at billiards, and by that means he was enabled to get sufficient means to lodge at hotels. Previous to the present charge he had been found in the upper apartments of another west end hotel, near to a large quantity of jewellery, but be was fortunately discovered, and his excuse for being on the staircase was that he had strayed a little too high for the billiard room. The Assistant-Judge said, under all the circum stances he should sentence the prisoner to five yeare penal servitude. MONOPOLY OF THE LAND. In the course of a lecture CI "Labour and Capital" de livered by Mr. Ernest Jones to a largo audience in the City Hall, Glasgow, he made the following remarks :—" In 1770 there wore 250,000 landlords in the United Kingdom ; now there aro less than 30,000, of whom nearly 9,000 aro in Ire land. Five mon—the Earl of Breadalbane, the Dukes of Argyll, Athol°, Sutherland, and Buccleuch—own one fourth of all the land in Scotland ; twelve mon possess the half ; and half of England belongs to 150 persons. 30,000 mon, say, to 30,000,000 people—here you shall plough and sow and reap, and there not : here you shall build and plant and work, and there not : hero you shall breathe and live and die, and nowhere else, except where we per mit." Ho concluded by saying, "I seek not to in fringe the rights of property ; 1 seek not to confiscate a single acre; n•r is there the slightest need for any such proceeding. But Ido say the rights of private property in land have their limits. Those limits have been recog nised by Parliament. They wore recognised when the Legislature drove a railroad through the landlord's acres against his will. if it is right to send the people through his acres, it is right to send them to his acres also. They were recognised when the Legislature established the En cumbered Estates Court, and sent one-seventh of all Ire land to the auction mart. They are recognised when a man is unable to manage his own • property wisely —tho law steps in and manages it for him. I say no man has a right, whore labour is redundant and food deficient, to keep fruitful land out of cultivation. The men who du that aro criminals; every such uncultivated acre is a national crime ; every such uncultivated acre is a landlord's theft. I lay down the axiom that no man has a right to more land tlrmn he has capital or means to cultivate. \V hoever keeps an acre out of cultivation keeps the loaf from the poor man's cupboard—takes a span front the poor man's life. He has uo right to that acre, I care not who ho is. Though a king gave it to him, who gave it to the king? The title to the laud is culture, God is the only landlora, awl our labour is the rent wo have to pay," THE CHAMPIONSIIIP.—The Stakeholder has do cidod that each man must draw his stake.
