MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have no change to report in the market for discounts. There is plenty of money, and the last commercial bills are negotiable as low as 1i per Cent. It consequently follows that the inquiries at the Bank are very limited, and that in all proba bility the minimum will be reduced to 2 per cent. Such a movement will not be of much benefit to trade, because it is increased trade rather than easier money which is desirable. The weather is satisfactory, and the light rains of this morning will so far, at present, conduce to the benefit of the harvest. From all parts the agricultural accounts are splendid, and there is reason to believe that the country will not be compelled to spend the average for foreign cereals. This, of course, would be in favour of easy rates of discount, especially as there are for the moment no enterprises calculated to take our money away. At the meeting held to-day of the New Consoli dated Discount Company a dividend of 2s. per share (free of Income-tax) was agreed to. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week are of a less satisfactory character than of late. At Manchester prices of cloths and yarns have further declined, while in the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield the dealings have only been to a moderate extent and for immediate home demand. The hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham, however, have shown a decided improvement, consequent upon orders from the American markets, while in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been little change of im portance ; future prospects, however, aro looked upon as being more satisfactory. At the Bank of England on Saturday there were no gold operations of importance. The West Indian Mail Packet Tasmania has arrived with £194,996 in specie ; and the Palmyra from New York has brought £71,000. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have advanced 1 to 29 31, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds i to 23f 24. The result of the poll of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company was declared at a special meeting held this day, when it was found that the directors' proposal to amalgamate with the South Eastern was carried by a large Majority. Two o'CLoCK. Early this morning Consols receded 1 per cent., but since a full recovery has taken place and the market appears buoyant. The dealers appear to be doing their utmost to keep values down, but their efforts in the main are futile. Government Stock is required not only on account of investors but by speculators likewise, the latter buying for ward because there is every promise of a further 118 c. Consols are 941 for money, and 944 i f for the account. The New Threes and Reduced A nnu iti es are 93 4, 9 1 ; New 2f per Cents., 77 ; and India 5 p er Cents., 1111 1. There is very little business being transacted in the Foreign. Department, the dealers being principally engaged in the settlement. Spanish Passive show declin e of to 21 ; Turkish 5 per Cents. 1, to 3 4 1 ; but Chilian Scrip has advanced to 1 1 premium. Italian are unchanged at 491 ; c an, at 16i j; Spanish Certificates, at 15f 4 ; (.1-reek, at 141 4 ; and Russian Scrip, at 1 prem.. A very limited amount of business has been trans acted in the Railway Share Market, the dealers a nd speculators having been chiefly engaged with the settlement. Great Eastern and Midland have e ach declined 1 ; while Brighton have improved ; Sou th Eastern 1 ; and Metropolitan. Bank Shares remain inactive. London and County New Shares, however, have improved to 22 1; Chartered Mercantile of India, London and China remain at 271 ; and English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered at 17 171. Miscellaneous and Finance Shares arc exceedingly dal], and the few dealings entered into have caused no material change in value. Anglo-American Telegraph are marked 181, Telegraph Construction and Maintenance 16f, Peninsular and Oriental St eam New Shares 41 411, Hudson's Bay Company 15, and Scottish Australian Investment 123.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Nisi Prius Sittirigs at Guildhall, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Common Jury. lIEMLIN V. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Pollock, Q.C., and Mr. Lloyd appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. O'Malley, Q.O , and another learned gentleman for the defendants. The action was brought to recover .£56, for loss of goods through the alleged neglect of the defendants servants and the defendants pleaded that there had been no delivery of goods, and that they were not liable. It appeared from the opening statement of counsel that the plaintiff, who is a gentleman of independent means, and the son of the late Alderman Hunter had for warded some goods from Blackheath, where he has a resi dence, to his house at Aughrim, in Wicklow, Ireland, last July. The goods were delivered at the Blackheath station, having been previously carefully packed in the presence of some of the domestic servants of the plaintiff. When the goods were taken from the Aughrim station it was discovered that wino and otherarticles, including cloth ing, had been abstracted. The plaintiff immediately wrote to the manager of the South Eastern Railway Company, informing him of the circumstance, and, after some corm spondence,was told by him that as the goods had beengiven, as they had been received into the ca re of the London and North Western Railway Company they (the de fendants) wore not responsible for anything that had occurred. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Nisi Prius Sittings at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Wines and a Special Jury.) CASTELLO V. SLEIGH. This was an action to recover 21,000 for an alleged breach of contract, to which the defendant pleaded not guilty, and that the plaintiff had not fulfilled his part of the contract. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine was counsel for the plaintigs and Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., for the defendants. _ It appeared that the plaintiffs are stockbrokers, carrying on business in Throgmorton-street, and the defendant is a promoter of companies. In July, 1865, ho applied to the plaintiffs to allow theirnames to appear as the broker of the Tasso Brazilian Mining Company, which had been started by the defendant and some other person whom he was associated. They consented, appointed agents in Liver pool, Manchester, and elsewhere, and acted in the usual way of brokers. The arrangement was that they were to receive £lO,OOO, when there Ead been a sufficient number of shares taken to justify the committee of the Stock Exchange appointing- a sitting day. It appeared that there had been some difference between the defen dant and the parties with whom ho was associated, and that ho refused to fulfil the contract. In support of the statement letters wore read, and the plaintiff and other witnesses examined. The case was proceeding when we wont to press. POLICE IN TELLIGEACE.—This Day. -- -+-. MAIMBORUGII-STREET. THE WAY TO CHECK BRUTAL ASSAULTS.— John Duig and Ann Duig, husband and wife, and Michael Lennon, were charged before Tyrwhitt with the following violent assault on Mr. W. Darlington, landlord of the Golden Lion Tavern, 42, Wardour-street. The prisoners were on Saturday evening last in the house of Mr. Darlington, and began quarrelling, and while so doing the female prisoner threw some beer over the bar. Mr. Darlington expostulated with her, when she said that having paid for the beer she had a right to do what she liked with it, and she then seized Mr. Darlington, dragged him out of the house, and struck him. A man of the party, but not in custody, knocked Mr. Darlington down in the gutter, and while ho was lying on the ground the male prisoners struck and kicked him, blackening his eyes, covering him with bruises, and rendering him in sensible. Two of Mr. Darlington's neighbours, Mr. Walter Warden, tin plate worker, of No. 52, Wardour-street, and Mr. Watson, carver and gilder, went to his assistance and rescued him, and the prisoners were subsequently taken into custody by Police-Constable Loosley, 91 C. In 4nswer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, one of the witnesses stated that the prisoners wore very violent, and he believed if he had not gone to Mr. Darlington's assistance he would have been murdered; and another witness stated that he be lieved that but for the fact of the female prisoner, who had an infant in her arms, all the time inciting the men, they would have gone away in the first instance. The Prisoners said they were roughly used. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that a mischievous woman was the beginning of the whole thing. The complainant, not liking the beor to be thrown about his place, expostulated, and then he was brutally assaulted. lie would order the woman to pay 405. or a month, and the men would be committed for six weeks each, and that with hard labour. The prisoners, who had behaved in a bullying manner, seemed much tamed down when they heard the decision. THAMES. SUNDAY MORNING AMUSE3iEtiT.—Two well-dressed and pale-faced youths, named Edward Clark and Frank Brook, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with knocking at doors and ringing bells in Jubilee-street, Stepney. Stedman Nicholls, No. 433 K, stated that at half-past four o'clock on Sunday morning he saw the prisoners in Jubi lee-street, knocking at every door they passed and ringing the bells, disturbing the inmates, and creating much con fusion. He and a sergeant pounced upon the lads and took them into custody. The Prisoners—We were going to the Victoria-park to bathe. Mr. Paget—You have no occasion to - knock up every body else to go and bathe. Clarke—We did it out of mischief. Mr. Paget—No doubt of it. You are fined 53. each. You are two very bad boys. THE BELGIANS AT 111 E ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. Although the executive of the Central Belgian Reception Committee had no arrangement of an official character on their programme of enter tainments for yesterday, being Sunday, yet it was generally understool that the council of the Zoological Society of London had notified their intention of throwing open their beauti ful gardens in the Regent's Park to our Belgian guests. An intimation to this effect was therefore only necessary co be forwarded to the head-quarters of the Guard Civic at the " Grosvenor," and to that of the Chausseurs Eclaricurs and volunteers at the " Westminster" Palace Hotel to ensure a proper knowledge being con veyed to each member of the contingent. As early as tee o'clock large numbers presented themselves at the entrances of the Zoological Gardens, and were at once admitted, and it is believed that dur ing the day at least 2,000 of them passed through the gardens. THE LATE MR. E. TAYLOR.—The will of Mr. Tom Tay lor, the celebrated trainer, who died rather suddenly at his residence, Grafton House, Newmarket, last month, has been proved by his executors—Nis. Taylor, his son Alec, and his solicitor, Mr. Fenn. The Grafton House property is given to Mrs. Taylor for her life. At Mrs. Taylor's death the Grafton House will go to Alec Taylor, he paying his brothers and sisters certain legacies. Mrs. Taylor has, we are informed, very generously determined to relinquish Grafton House for the benefit of the family, but as seve ral noblemen have taken their rooms for the current year she will stay in Grafton lions,: till the October meetings, and then give up possession to Alec Taylor.

Zealots in the pursuit of busines always begin to complain on the approach of our burning solstice about the dulness of trade and tb consequent in jury which they can so ill afford t their pecuniary prospects. When a season has ben uncommonly bad such complaints ,may not be very unreason able, but in general it is well to remember that they are substantially childish and illgical. Only so much business can be done in a yes, and if the bulk of this is transacted in the tempeate months, it is expectable that during the extreme of heat and cold there should be comparative inactiity. The remark ab'e tumult and rush of Americat business life so usual in spring and autumn is natually succeeded by periods of r. , action, just as excitecent of any other phi sical kind is similarly followed bb necessary repose. The peculiarities of our climate inks such pheno mena not only inevitable, but higily salutary. It is impossible for nervous energies 0 be healthfully kept at their normal pitch during, or example, such weather as we experienced in the fi-st week of June. Nature at such periods imperativily demands rest, and although there are various Stinulative methods for deferring the satisfaction of ier claims she is sure to exact a penalty for the postponement. If our cities during the glowing ninety days of a New York summer were indeed " gracous with tempe rate air, life might be ordered differently; but the powers of the most vigorous and elastic droop and grow flaccid under a burning sun, aid health is more important even than dollars, so that.t happens fortu nately for all that business flags in Zuly and August, however it may seem hard for many to bear the depres sion at the immediate time. It shoed be a consola tion to the discontented to reflect fiat their business year is to be measured comprehensinly as a whole, and that the duller things are for three months to come the more active and prosperots they are likely to be in the autumn which ensues. " Study to be quiet," said St. Paul to the Thessalonians, and no better advice can'be offered at this season to our own impatient countrymen. The strongest and fiercest animals creep at noon-day into cooling shades to gather strength for battle and foraging to come. We are coming now to the high noon of our year, and can wisely pro fit by their sagacious example. By the sea side, on breezy hill-tops, in unbrageous valleys, there are nooks and corners without number where shel thr can be bad and sweetly wholesome air be breathed not to be found in crowded towns, where bustling contact frets the spirit and the year's im purities poison the feculant atmosphere. The value of rest at this season to a community like ours can scarcely be over-estimated. It is true that many urge they cannot afford the time, but we believe there are few who cannot really do more in nine months than in twelve. Those who from circum stances cannot be absent from duty so long must of course, regulate their action accordingly, re collecting that perfect rest for one month may be better than imperfect rest for three. The situation of numbers will not, unhappily, admit of their enjoying the luxury of a country vacation at all ; but the faci lities for reaching our picturesque and healthy suburbs are now so plentiful that even the poorest may pass many of their hours away from the city and such should regard it as a bounden duty to do so. Pure air and innocent recreation may now be enjoyed by the poor and their children at dozens of places within an hour of New York, and at prices so moderate as to leave little excuse for foregoing them. Central Park, Staten Island, the beautiful heights of the Jersey shore, and other charming resorts, are accessible to all who can spare a few pence and the interval of non-working hours, and the gain to health and spirits derivable from regu larly making such excursions is great and posi tive. In considering the growth of population and the stringency of the times, we are led greatly to regret that clean and comfortable accommodations, including a very wide range in grade and price, and conducted on the lodging-house principle, are not yet to be found among us. There are multitudes of people of fixed and slender income who are utterly unable to allow themselves a trip to Newport, Saratoga, Cape 111 iy Nahant, or even to less fashionable watering places, who, if such facilities were open as present them selves by the thousand at English resorts like Hastings, Ramsgate, Brighton, or Deal, would eagerly and profitably embrace them. In these places apartments can be had of almost every con ceivable price, size, and location, aad the humblest are often as cleanly and comfortable as the most pretentious. The rooms are paid for at a regular stipulated rate, and the table is provided on their own scale and at their own expense by the occu pants. Their menage thus being entirely within their own control, and its details only known to themselves, families can live as they please, at their own hours and in their own way, expensively or economically, without being tempted to ostentation, or being obliged to conform to the habits, or be sub ject to the inspection of others. The advantages of this system are very great. Many of the classes which with us, through dread of the expenses of fashionable resorts and a natural reluctance to appear niggardly or straitened, remain in the stifling city throughout the season, in England regularly enjoy their yearly holiday at the sea-side with as much pleasure and benefit as if their means were unlimited. Especially for professional people of refinement—the families of clergymen, lawyers, artists, literary men, people who like privacy and quiet, but who are u na bl e to pay the cost at which alone such desiderata can here be procured— is the English lodging-house system a great blessing. We have heretofore recommended its adoption in our towns, and in the country during the summer season it would be no less desirable. The enforced uniformity, the distasteful publicity, the obligatory associations of our American board ing-house and hotel system, apart from pecuniary considerations, deters every year a greater number of persons in this c ommun it y f ro m enjoying those changes of air and scene w hi c h in this climate are at least as essential as in any other. It is probable at present that the great majority of American families whose homes are in towns and whose in comes fall short of $5,000 a year, never visit the seashore or interior country at all, for the reasons we have named. In England the reverse is un doubtedly the case, because of opposite conditions. But, unless the plan we proposi3 encounters dislike for no better cause than that it is English, we do not see why it should not be carried into effect with similar advantages. What is needed is a large num ber of compact, well-built houses or cottages, of various sizes and accommodation, built with reference to the particular object in view, at favourable localities. Such buildings are now erected in hundreds every season at the Eng lish watering places. The writer, in a late visit to three of those above-named, saw whole streets covering what he remembered as open fields seven years before, and was assured that the enter prises were very profitable. The English season is, moreover, much shorter than our own, so that in an important respect builders would here have an ad vantage. We are persuaded that this subject is well worthy the attention of capitalists, and the extrava gant tprices now charged hotels - would do much to give popularity and success b cess y to speculations based upon it. It may be thought that Americans would be slow, as has been hinted, to favour such a foreign innova tion, but the world moves, and, now that we have so heavy a debt to carry, comfortable economy should and doubtless would overcome even national increasingprejudice proportion But .`were Europeans iit otherw otherwise, the rapidly domiciled among us would form an clement of support for the plan proposed which could be depended upon with con - siderable confidence. Nothing can be more likely than that, in the neighbourhood 'of the metro p asand in these days of uncleanness, poor qu a lity, and extortionate prices, any scheme offering to the public a mode of living wherein cheapness and com fort could be made obviously consistent with any desired degree of refinement would attract eager attention and, if only for the sake of novelty, be awarded a fair trial.—Round Table. PosEN, July 12. —The Polish fraction of the Prussian Parliament has just unanimously decided, n a meeting held here, that their compatriots should take part in the approaching elections for the Reichstag. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE---This Day. VICTORIA CLUB BETTING-THIS DAY. Some animated speculation took place to-day in addition to the usual Monday's interchange. The Nottingham Handicap, and also the Burieigh at Stamford, were men tioned, and several transactions, as below, came under notice. For Goodwood there was a decided disposition to "bring" Blinkhoolie again for the Stakes, and, after several hundreds to eight had been booked, a point less was only obtainable. Both the favourites, however, ap peared healthy at their quoted figure, while layers were tired of booking 20 to 1 agst Owain Glyndwr, the Findon horses' price closing at 100 to 6 (off). Tho cup quotation will be seen below, in addition to which, however, £5O oven was laid on Lecturer and Regalia agst the field while Beeswing, of the others was in most request.

Butler, , near lieux's 'Biewery. No connexion with any other person using the same name. SPORTING NOTES. The fixtures for this week are Stamford, Notting ham, and Knutsford, and it happens there is a lot of fresh blood in the Burghley Handicap, two miles and a quarter, which will be worth at least £6OO. Joha Davis, Regalia, Beeswing, Knight of the Cres cent, Bradamante or Pintail, Retrousse, Dansany, and Dr. Syntax or Lizard, should run, if the lame Archimedes cannot, and Challenge's penalty stops him ; and there are others in the list sure to swell the field, though I cannot see what is to beat Beeswing, turned loose as Pintail is, unless Knight of the Crescent or Regalia can perform that feat. The handicaps are all on the light scale, it being best to await the Nottingham results before meddling with the minor affairs, though it is impossible to help expressing a fancy for Lord Ro nald and Beadle in the Welter, and Confederate in the Westmorland Plate. The weight for age races have fared well enough in regard to the number of entries, the 14 in the Welland including the Skipper, Dick Turpin, Bounceaway (each 61b extra), and King Victor (31b extra), besides some juveniles, the pick of which are Veda, Scotchman's Pride (each 61b extra), the Returned (31b extra), and Janet Rawcliffe (allowed 81b). The three year olds have the best of the weights, and Bounceaway has only to fear The Skipper. Europa ancl Speculum should fight out both the Ryhall Stakes and 50 Sovs Sweepstakes, and there may not be more than two clippers in the Stamford St. Leger field, good as is the entry, Knight of the Garter being the best to stand upon, as he is likewise for the Ketton Stakes on the second day, when Friponnier has the Second Wothorpe Biennial to content him, the First being also likely to fall 'to Mr. Pryor's lot, with Ritualist, allowed 41b. There is just the chance that the three fa 7 vourites for the Goodwood Cup will contest that at Stamford—Regalia (9st 31b), Beeswing (Bst 101 b), and Lecturer "(9st 101 b) —whom I prefer in the order named ; and many that were in keeping for the Steiards' Cup at Goodwood might be tempted by their flattering weights to go in for the Clifden. But Matthew Dawson will take,,a lot of beating, his patrons being lucky if they possess a better ally than Bismarck, and those who follow Lord Westmor land in the johnstolie Nursery may not fare badly. The meeting at llayling Island will be inaugurated under the most favourable auspices * as the naval review at ,Spithead is to be witnessed (if a naval review were ever really " seen" by outsiders) from the Grand Stand. This treat will more than com pensate for the poorness of the entries, which are nothing like commensurate with the liberality dis played in the adding of the money, only the two year-old race having a good lot in, and if The Fawn, or Wild Blood, should cut in there will not be much of a chance for aught else.

This morning, about 10 o'clock, an extraordinary and remarkably interesting discovery was made at a place called Brixton Villa, at Brixton, by two labourers engaged in removing some loosened earth, when they came upon a large quantity of human bones and a skull. Where the bones were found was about six feet below the surface, the appearance of which indicated that they had been under the earth about half a century. The skull was remark ably perfect, having most of the teeth in the jaw, which, with several other bones, were taken care of by Mr. Azzio, the coroner's officer for Lambeth.
