MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INVILLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Th© Discount Market to-day is quiet, and the rates are easy. At the Bullion Office of the Bank of England there were no gold operations of importance on Saturday. A general meeting of the Port Philip and Colo nial Gold Mining Company is announced to be held on the 22d inst., to receive a report from the direc tors for the past half-year. It recommends a distri bution of ls. per share, payable on the 23d iust., free of income-tax. The receipts in the colony have been £36,374, and the expenditure £31,576. The general finance shows a surplus, after discharging every liability in England, of £7,243, which, after payment of the dividend, and 10 per cent. added to the reserve fund, will leave a balance of £l,BBl to be carried forward. The Bank of Australia held their half-yearly meeting to-day, when a dividend was declared at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum and a bonus of 6i per cent. per annum, being equal to £2 10s. per share, payable the 15th October next. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben tures are steady, at 23} 24k, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 21 22. The Directors of the St. John D'El Rey Mining Company (Limited) have received the following report, dated Morro Velho, 17th July, 1867 : Produce for June, 51,543 oitavas ; from 6,021 tons ore yield 8,122 oitavas per ton. Cost for June, £10,774; profit for do., £9,102. Produce for 11 days of July, 17,857 oitavas; yield, 8,468 oitavas per ton. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week are of a less favourable character. At Manchester the advices from the Indian markets having caused 'considerable depression, owing to several failures, cloths and yarns were only in moderate request, and generally at reduced rates. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield the amount of goods sold has been under the average of former seasons, but prices generally remain steady. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham have been dull, operations for the fall trade not having yet com menced ; fancy goods, however, have been in mode rate request, while in the hardware districts of Bir mingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, the intervention of the rules at the latter place has, in some measure, caused a slight cessation of business operations. The general tone of the trade, how ever, has been more cheerful. A few firms have received moderate orders from Russia for railway iron, but the improvement has not been general. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 69f. 60c. Heavy. Little activity has been observable to-day in the market for English Stocks, and, indeed, in securi ties of all kinds. Very few speculative operations are reported, and investments are reduced to a mini mum, owing to the absence of so many people from the metropolis.

This (Monday) morning, between the hours of two and three o'clock, the inhabitants of Kentish town were greatly alarmed by the sudden outbreak of a fire, supposed to have been the work of a vile incendiary, in an unfinished house, situate at 90, Lanford-road. When the fire was discovered by the police, a cart laden with building materials was wrapped in flames, and very few minutes elapsed before the fire rushed into a partly-finished eight roomed house, and thoroughly ignited it from the ground floor to the roof. Mr. Superintendent Mitchell promptly attended with one of Shand, Mason, and Co.'s patent prize land steamers, as well as the officers of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade. Plenty of the Grand Junction Company's water having been procured the firemen went to work, but they were unable to get the flames extinguished until the cart and the building materials were en tirely destroyed. This (Monday) morning Mr. Wm. Payne, the Coroner for London and Southwark, received infor mation of a fire of a distressing character, and which unfortunately has been attended with fatal consequences to a young woman. It appears that a house situated at No. 10, Stephenson's-court, Bermondsey, was tenanted by a Mr. Cocklin, but the upper rooms were let out to lodgers. Yester day morning loud cries of " fire" were heard to proceed from the house, and, upon the neighbours and escapeman getting to the Kruse, they found Mary Cole, one of the lodgers, enveloped in flames. The fire about her having been extinguished, and Dr. Donahoo, of the Westminster-road, who was attending to a patient in the court, was called in, but such were the serious nature of the injuries she had received that that gentleman advised her instant removal to the hospital, which was done, but death in a very short time put an end to her sufferings. A spark from the fire is supposed to have caused the disaster. THE COVENT GARDEN CONCERTS. These fashionable concerts commenced for the sea son on Thursday last, under the sole management of Mr. J. Russell, whose ability to cater successfully for the public is too well known to require any commendation from us. All the attractions of last season are forth coming, and everything throughout this spacious build ing has been done to increase the comfort of visitors. The Promenade is entirely covered with carpet, and a largo amount of accommodation in the way of seats is provided in front of the orchestra, whilst at the back of it Messrs. Spiers and Pond have an attractive refreshment bar as usual, where every requisite is supplied of the bust qua lity and at a reasonable cost. The band appears to have lost none of its efficiency under Signor Bottesini as conductor. The music is admirably chosen, and on Saturday night the programme consisted principally of selections from the best operas, amongst which was the overture to "Der Freyschutz ;" Fantasia on Themes from Guonod's "Faust ;" Grand Fantasia from " Robcrt to Diablo," and a selection from "Romeo and Juliet," ar ranged by Signor Bottesini, all effectively rendered by the band. Solos from the last-named opera were admir ably played on the flute by Mr. R. S. Pratteu; the oboe by Mr. Barret; cornet-a-piston, by Mr. Reynolds ; and ophecleide, by Mr. Hughes. Master Bonnay produced some sweet music from the Xylophone, in which perform ance he was greatly applauded. Two vocalists of fascinat ing appearance have also been engaged for these concerts —ono of them, Aladlle. Sarolta, sang a bolero in "Los Vepres Sicilionnos," and later on gave "I dreamt that I dwelt in mtrble halls" in such charming style that an encore was insisted upon by the audience, with which she partly complied by singing the last verse. Madlle. Eracleo, who pDssessos a rich contralto voice, sang a Spanish song, "La jota de los Estudiantes ;".and from the brilliant manner in which she rendered it will no doubt become a great favourite with the public. Several other talented artistes, and• the Courtois' Brass Band Union, performed during the evening, but we must allude to them more fully on a future occasion. The dance music, com posed by Herr Johann Strauss—each piece of which he not only conducted, but at the same time assisted the band to play in a manner peculiarly his own—was re ceived with an immense amount of enthusiasm, which was richly merited; in fact, after complying with two or three encores, the last we saw of this gentleman was going down the stairs leading from the orchestra, some three or four at a time, so anxious was ho apparently to make his exit from the repeated calls upon him from all parts of the house.

THE LATE HEAT.—.The extremely hot weather of last week proved fatal to three persons engaged in harvest work in Essex. The sufferers wore Mr. C. Almond, of Great Bentley; Flack, Witham ; and W. Moore, Tollos hunt d'Arcy. Another man is also reported to be now lying in an unconscious state from sunstroke. At S waff ham, Norfolk, several labourers wero also compelled to suspend work. Mdlle. Fourier, a young lady vocalist of the most prepossessing appearance, made her debut on Saturday morning last at the delightful series of morning concerts now takini, place at the Agricultural Hall, or, rather, wo should say, Fairy Palace, as it is now called. The young lady's voice is a fine mezzo soprano, and, from the great taste and ability with which she rendered the difficult lifeyerbeer aria " Vanne vanne," from "Robert to Diable,' the musical world will doubtless soon become more fami liar with the aocomplishod vocalist. We need hardly say her debut was of the most successful character. rim SUN. LONDON, _MONDAY EVENINa, AUGUST 19, 1867. SHARE LlST—This Day. ORDINARY SHA/TES AND STOCKS. I Paid./ C r i ri oe lllg.

MARK - LANE. -In the leading country markets, held on Saturday, the supplies of wheat were very limited, but the demand ruled inactive, and prices wore barely supported. Barley and all other articles were unchanged in value. Flour was a slow sale. Continental advices also show that the foreign corn trade has participated in the dullness of the English market. In France the supply has continued small, and prices have been maintained ; and in the south of Europe generally the trade has been much restricted. At New York the market is reported dull, and prices are Irregular. New produce is coming steadily forward. The importations into London last. week consisted of 15,322 quarters of wheat, 42,244 oats, 375 beans, 45 peas, 96 tares, 6,082 linseed, 5,207 rapeseed, 655 maize, and 2,847 sacks of flour. _ _ . Fresh up to-day the arrivals of old English w'...eat were very moderate, of new comparatively small. The attend ance of miYers was far from numerous, and the demand for all kinds of home-grown wheat was in a frost inactive state, at prices about equal to Monday last. The new wheat, which came to hand in fair average condition, were disposed of at from 67s to 71s per quarter. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with foreign wheat. All descriptions met a heavy in quiry, at barely late rates. The sale for peas was inactive on former terms. Both English and foreigh flour was very dull, and last week's prices were barely supported. The transactions in floating cargoes of grain aro much restricted. rho few samples of barley on the stands wero taken off at a silght improvement in the quotations. Malt—the supply of which was good—sold heavily, and prices had a drooping tendency. Wo had a steady sale for oats, the prices of which wore well supported. Beans.wero held at full quotations with a limited supply on offer. Seeds and cakes commanded very little attention, ai last week's prices. CURRENCY PER IMP.

Our market to-day was seasonably well supplied with stock in somewhat improved condition. Sales progressed steadily, at very full prices, to a slight advance. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, wero limited. From Ireland the supply was moderate, but in miserably poor condition. Nearly all breeds moved off steadily, at an advance in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per Blbs. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s per 81bs, at which a good clearance was effected. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received about 1,200 short korns and crosses; from other parts of England, 450 various breeds; from Scotland, 8 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 150 oxen, cows, &c. We were scantily supplied with English sheep, the quality of which was by no means first-rate. Prime Downs and half-breds changed hands freely at 2d per Blbs more money. Most other broods were in fair request at full prices. The top quotation was 5s p3r 81bs. The sale for lambs was very dull at barely late rates— viz., from 4s 6d to 53 6d pot Sibs. The supply was toler ably good. Calves were in moderate supply, and steady request. Prima small calves wore 2d por 81bs dearer. Other quali ties of veal wore tolerably firm.

VICTORIA CLUB BETTING—Tins DAT. The main feature of the doings to-day was in connection with the Ebor Handicap, for which there was an evident commission out in favour of Bees wing, who soon advanced to be equal favourite with Bradamante. Both of the Danebury mares were at one time in request, but towards the close Gomera alone met with support, which was freely accorded, as below. Fortunio was often named, but Goodwood seemed almost friendless. Challenge was not in strong request, but did not appear to be altogether " gone." The other quotations will be found below, together with some few on the St. Lager, for which Hermit was very firm. Au con traire, Vauban "shaky."

The racing of the past week has been anything but pleasant to the regular habitues of the Turf, and what with being par boiled at Egham, choked with coal dust and heat at Wolverhampton, and nearly drowned at Oxford, rendered it one of the most miserable racing weeks I ever remember. There was some good sport at Egham and Oxford for most of the races, but there were one or two glaring cases of roping at g a la= on the first day, which the gallant Admiral would probably notice. The class of horses wo have had running lately, with a few excep tions, are very moderate, but I suppose the good ones, if there are any, are kept in the back ground for the Autumn Handicaps. There were some surprises at Stock ton, as no one expected to see Taraban beat Tynedale. The owner of the latter should now be satisfied that he has overrated his horse, and must see what a chance he missed in not running him for the Goodwood Stakes, whore he could not have failed to beat the wretched lot who contested for that event. Those who assert that Vauban will turn the tables on Hermit in the St. Leger must begin to feel uncomfortable on that score, as we all saw him extended to beat Tynedale in the Goodwood Cup, and old Moulsey ran away from the latter at Brighton. How would J. Day try Vauban and Moulsey together? That is the question. For my own Wart I shall not be surprised to see Julius finish before Vauban at Doncaster, as the Duke of New castle's horse is ono of the most improved animals in training. As I told your readers before the Two Thou sand and Derby he was too light then to have any pretensions to win a great race ; but from the great im provement he has made lately, and from his running in the Lewes Handicap with Bst. 21b., I must recommend him as a safe place investment for the St. Leger; but as long as Hermit keeps well he will beat him and every thing else that he will have to meet this year. I have cause to be proud of my selections last week, as I placed first and second for the Wolverhampton Stakes, and selected Uncas for both his races ; and those who fol lowed my advice would got a good price about him, as lie started at 6to 1. I also selected Beauty for the Nur sery, Amanda colt for the Cleveland Cup, and La Dauphine for the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes at Egham. I only hope I may b 3 as fortunate at York, where all the touts and tipsters have been floored to a man for the last two years, and many backers were broke by laying odds on what they considered certainties. It was there the great Rustic received his Coup de grace for the St. Leger; in fact favourite after favourite got bowled over until tne backers ware nearly all settled. There are eight closed races for Wednesday, and most of them rich stakes. The Old Three Year Old Produce Stakes will fall to Mr. Merry by the aid of the filly by Dundee out of Blanche of Middlobie. There are 55 nominations for the Convivial Stakes, and the best public performer is Trogeagle, and unless Mr. Merry has a good dark one, Lord Falmouth's smart colt will heat all the others. The Eleventh North of England Biennial Stakes is worth over £7OO, and should Hermit put in an appear ance he will win, if not Vauban will place this rich stake to the credit of his noble owner. . There are a bad lot of fillies in the Yorkshire Oaks, and if Romping Girl is in form she will have little difliculty in placing this stake to the credit of her owner. The Black Duck Stakes, worth over ;3,900,ia forfeits alone, will fall to the Duke of Beaufort's Herald, and Lord Glasgow will win tho Burgundy Stakes with Brother to Bird on the Wing. The Chesterfield Handicap has a good entry, and no doubt will produce a largo field. I have no fancy for any of the top weights until I come to Westwick, nor should I have named him, only I dreamt that he won a race at York ; but as a dream is only a shadow, I must look somewhere else for the winner. It would be only a waste of time for me to go through the performances of all the horses engaged in this race, as they are a moderate lot; and whichever Joseph Dawson runs, Friday or Miss Harriette will win, that is, if ho thinks this stake worth going for. They are both well, and will win a good race before the year is over. The last time I saw them gallop they ran clean away from Guy of Warwick, the then quondam favourite for the Goodwood Stakes. Should Mr. Pryor prefer keeping them for something better Ischia must be my next choice. The Filly Sapling Stakes will be won by Witchcraft or Lady Highthora. Europa will win the Twelfth North of Eagland Biennial. Blinkhoolie will win the Ebor St. Leger if he runs ; if not, Lochaber will be best to stand on. The Prince of Wales's Stakes looks a good thing for Idalia ; and the R twain Stakes will be wen by Philosopher. Twenty-four horses have cried content for the Ebor Handicap, but I have no fancy for any of the top weights until I come to Bradamante, as John Day can have no chance with any of his lot. Gemara certainly won the Goodwood Stakes, beating a wretched lot of horses. Beaming has plenty of weight, but, no doubt she will be a great favourite, as the pub lic will follow the Squire, but in my opinion she can't beat Bradamante. Ackworth has been troubled with the slows for a long time. I once had a great fancy for Sealskin, but 1 am afraid he can't stay two miles. I shall be surprised if ho does not obtain a situation in this company. Treasure Trove I know nothing of. Raglan has lost the little form he once possessed. Chal lenge is a good fair horse, but not up to Leger form, and I think Mr. Porter will not consider him well enough in here to put the- prices down so freely as he did at Hun tingdon. The Peer is a bad horse, and the Amanda colt has earned a reputation lately; but I don't fancy him in this company, as John Davis and Moose got too close to him at Goodwood in the Queen's Plate. Major Stapyltons horse is well in, and is worth notice, ably in the Northumberland Plate, and won the Cumber land land Plate the week after.

There are four fixtures during the present week, the most, attractive of which will, of course, be the great gathering on the linavesmire at York. The first meeting of the week, however, will be held at West Drayton on Monday and Tuesday. In the Ladies' Plato TINA is nicely weighted, and is my selection. QUIRINA should be about winning the Colne Handicap. Concerning the Handicap Hurdle race and the Open Hunters' Stakes I cannot say anything. On Tuesday ENDSLEIGH ought to have no diffi culty in running away from his compatitors in the West Drayton Handicap, and WILD BEE looks well in the Ivor Plate. The Hastings races require very little notice from me. WATCHBOX will win the Welter Cup if he runs. The TWO year-OldS takes has HEATHER BELL and BOUQUETIE:RE engaged, but as the former is penalised 71b, I give the latter, who only carries 31b extra, the preference ; and in the Hastings Handicap Plate RoPVINE will most likely give a good account of herself. On Wednesday I should think PENINSULA will beat all corners for the Nursery Plate, and the, East 'Sussex Handicap reads like " a moral " for VAM PIRE. The great attraction of the week will be at York, where the August Meeting is looked upoit as a half - way house might be, and induces our Scotch and Irish neighbours to fraternise with us in that charm ing city, and also enables them to glean the latest fnformation and the latest state of the odds anent he St. Leger. Whilst alluding to this great race, which is only distant from us some three weeks, it is almost super fluous to mention to many of your readers who daily watch the market how firm the Hermit continues to be, as little as 2 to 1 contenting his backers. Vauban, on the other hand, is not so good a favourite, 3 to 1 being currently offered against him. Taraban's defeat of Tynodale at Stockton is evidently the cause of his going back in the betting, and in so far as the Duke's horse not having beaten the latter easily for the Goodwood Cup, I am decidedly one of his detractors. It has been asserted that the son of Muscovite has always beaten Mr. Bowes's gelding out of sight whenever they have met. Admitting this to be the case, the infirmity of Taraban's temper is notorious, and it is ridiculous to draw a line from his previous form. Presuming TYNEDALE was in form, and odds of 5 to 2 on him look very like it, a repetition of this performance on the 11th September will certainly compel the Good wood Cup winner to gallop faster than he did then. I have always had the highest opinion of Mr. Bowes's animal since 1 inspected him as a two year old, and if he does not yet make those parties who so persistently run him down look very foolish I shall be very much sur prised. Marksman, it appears, is not doing sufficient work to satisfy the touts, but it is a curious fact that in the face of this he has been backed for immense sums of money by those persons who are likely to be better in formed on the subject. Lord Clifden and St. Albans were knocked about in the same manner, and so has Achieve ment this year, and in face of the market I will stand ACHIEVEMENT or MARKSMAN to win the St. Leger. The first day's racing includes the Old Three Year Old Stakes, tho entries for which are a wretched lot, and the best I anticipate will bo Mr. Merry's representative, pro bably MAYFLOWER. Although both Lord Stamford's re presentatives have incurred a 31b penalty for the Bramhain Park Stakes, whichever his lordship chooses to start will wia. Of the 54 nominations to the Convivial Stakes, TREGEAGLE'S form is decidedly the best, but ho will find a dangerous opponent in the animal which does battle for the Lord of Ashton-under-Lyne, and IDALIA appears to me the most likely to bo his lordship's selected champion. The Eleventh North of England Stakes, notwithstanding it has 62 subscribers, will produce a small field now that it is understood VAUBAN is to represent the Duke of Beaufort for this valuable stake, as there aro only three or four, in the absence of the Derby winner, who can possibly make him gallop, and of these Taraban, Romping Girl, and Feodor are the most dangerous. Let up hope on this occasion Taraban will run straight, and in that case I shall fully oxpect to see him prove a very troublesome customer to the. St. Leger crack. Romping Girl is also likely to run for the fielders, and as the penalty of 51b, which Vauban has to carry for winning the Two Thousand Guineas, will tell a tale over this distance of ground (two miles), my recommendation is to take the odds, which will doubtless bo laid on him. In deed, if TARABAN is in the humour to try, I feel persuaded ho will not only win this race, but be a good favourite for the great event at Doncaster. Tho Yorkshire Oaks reads a really "good thing" for Romping Girl. Whichever Mr. Merry sends should win the Black Duck Stakes. BERTIE will win the Burgundy Stakes, and lIERALD the Juvenile Stakes. I think the Chesterfield Handicap Plate will go to one of Joseph DaWson's Iot—FRIDAY, Knight Errant, or Miss Harriette, and I have a great fancy for the first named of the three. The Filly Sapling Stakes, run on Thursday, ' should be credited to Mr. Naylor by the aid of LADY HIGHTHORN. The Twelfth North of England Biennial Stakes will, I suppose, bring let Europa, Lady llighthorn, and Vale Royal, who will be opposed by the dark Viscount and the colt by Orlando from Bouquet (Brother to Bombastes). It will take a " clinker" to beat EUROPA, but bring under a strong impression that the two last named have a distin guished career before them, I shall not be surprised to see ono of thorn successful, and if symmetry and good looks ar e passports to the winning post, that one should be VISCOUNT, who is about the best made two-yr-old in the country. The Ebor St. Leger will be won by TREMBLE, in the absence of Blinkhoolie, who, having paid for feit for so many engagements lately, will not be likely to run for this small stake. If BROTHER TO BosiBASTES should be !nought out for the Prince of Wales's Stakes, I should prefer his chance to that of Philosopher, or whichever Lord Stamford runs. lIELYELLYN will have no difficulty in beating his two opponents in the Glasgow Stakes; and PHILOSOPHER has only TIMARU to beat for the Rawcliffe Stakes. There aro 21 acceptances for the Great Ebor Handicap, not one of which, strange to say, represents the Whitewall stable, who furnished the winner in 1854, 1855, and 1856, with Grand Inquisitor, Vandal, and Warlock, in 1860 with Pa; and last year with Westwick, but tempera rreutantur. John Day has four engaged, and if Seville, 3 yrs, with 6st on his back, wore to come to the post in her last year's form she could not be beat. Dalby Ido not fancy at any price. Beeswing is bound to beat Challenge from the Egham running, as Mr. Porter's horse only just won, and has to meet her here on 71b. worse terms, which will make all the difference ; in deed, her chance looks a very flattering one on paper, pro vided, of course, Squire Heathcote is satisfied with the market price. Bradamante has been turned loose in those 'races she has won this year, and I think this journey will not be able to win with her weight in this company. Ack worth, Retrousse, Sealskin, and Lady Vane have no attrac tion for me. Treasure Trove I consider is the most favourably weighted of the lot, and certain to run in the first three. The easy style in which he won the Metropo litan Stakes last year is a satisfactory proof of his unde niable staying powers, and his winning the Corporation Plate at Stockton on Friday shows ho has lost none of the fine speed which he displayed in beating a largo field for the Lincoln Handicap. At Stockton he gave two three year olds, who ran second and third to him, 2st 71b and 2st 91b respectively, which deducted from his weight now (7st 51b) would be putting them in at 4st 121 b and 4st 101 b respectively. Challenge is too unhealthy in the betting for mo to recommend; apart from that, how ever, Ido not think he can wiu. The Peer is more likely to run for The Cesarewitch. Goodwood (late Amanda colt) is a first-class stayer, a great advantage over this dis tanco of ground; and from his previous form i t requires no prophet to name him as a certain place investment, if not the absolute winner; but much as I re s p ect the York, I of Goodwood and Mandrake on the d ead flat at shall trust to DALBY and BEESWING, a brace of Chester Cup winners, who are suro to act well over Knavesmire. Goodwood is M too short a price for a place investment, and nay choice, therefore, is 31AN DRAKE for a situation. The Fairfield Stakes, inor the ab sence of Lady Elizabeth, wi ll be won by Use As ORION, and I prefer them as named. The Colt Sapling Stakeg, run on tha 159 t G day of tho meeting, is a certainty for INNERDALE. The Great on VA. York shire Stakes does n ot entail any penalty CBAN, who should therefore have no difficulty in winning. RUSSIAN BEAR is fit just now, and will be a dangerous antagonist for the Gimcrack Stakes. There aro sixty youngsters handicapped for the Nursery Handicap Plate, of which MIRACLE and Dlagnam STAR take my fancy most. The latter will win tho Asko Produce Stakes. T hero is no necessity to look farther than 310uLsEY for the winner of the York Cup. A FRESH MAN.
