MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGEN,O3, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have no alteration to report in the condition of the general market for loans and discounts Operations are confined to immediate. demands, and as trade, though good, is quiet, the supply of mer cantile bills is comparatively small. At the Bank the inquiry at 2 per cent. and upwards according to quality is extremely limited, and a further accu mulation of notes and gold would appear to be inevitable. The specie movement, notwithstanding the last week's mo cements, is on the whole good. England is able to take the superabundant supplies of corn and cotton from the United States, and such Produce must lessen the metallic shipments in pay ment of interest in greenbacks and other American fp , curitici. Australia is sending in all her riches in the shape of gold in bullion, and the Wrest Indies besides is contributing to our accumulation of gold and silver. There is, under such circumstances, reason to believe that the rates of discount will con tinue low. But it will be of benefit to the country if higher rates prevailed for loans and discounts if resulting from extended trade and the confident promotion of associative enterprise. There is an abundance of floating capital available for every legitimate purpose ; but investors are shy ; and it only requires a start, well supported, to initiate a mania—the reverse of the panic in May, 1866. With regard to this subject it may be observed that raining enterprise is likely to come into fashion, especially in relation to Cornwall, Devon, South America, California, and Australia. The report of the Natal Land and Colonisation Company has just been issued. The balance on the 31st December last was £B,BOl ; a dividend paid at the rate of 2s. 6d. per share reduced this amount to £4,166, and the directors now recom mend a further distribution of 2s. per share, Making a total dividend of 4i per cent. for the Year, leaving a balance of £455 to be carried forward. The assets of the company amount to £120,778, and the liabilities to £187,531. A resolu tion will be submitted to the meeting on the 16th inst. to raise £250,000 on debentures. At the meeting held to-day of the Working Company the report and accounts were presented, which stated that for the year ending Jane 30 the directors congratulated the share holders that, notwithstanding the low price of Copper, they have during that period paid all ex- Penses of working, &e. At the last annual meeting t hey were indebted to their bankers in London £ 1 ,242. After payment of this account there was a cash balance in favour of the Company on the 30th June of £612. The total receipts from all sources, including cash and hills in hand, have been £20,582, and the total expenditure for working expenses has been £19,972, leaving a balance of cash in hand in London and in the Colony of £609. By the May advices the re- S erves were estimated to be in excess of the out- Standing last year, and the Committee are sanguine that, commencing the year with a clear balance sheet, the result will be satisfactory to the share holders. ' From the manufacturing districts the accounts state that during the past week there has been rather more activity in several departments of trade. At Manchester, owing to the large imports of cotton, most kinds were a shade cheaper. In cloths and Yarns buyers operated to a moderate extent, the demand being chiefly for descriptions suitable to the Indian markets. For home requirements, how ever, there has only been a limited demand. In the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and lludders 4.eld there has been rather more animation, there having been a moderate inquiry for winter fabrics for the Canadian and German markets, although the demand from the home trade as yet remains inactive. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham have shown some slight ialprovement, and few orders have been received from France, the United States, and Canada. In the hardware districts there has been a more cheer ful tone. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver hampton a more cheerful tone has prevailed, a few l t, nor e orders have been received on Continental ac and it - - 41 . f,, demand for railwa y iron for India usuris :,up 1.1113 JCL 'ALAVA= Au au.. e mployment. :There were no gold operations at the Bank of England, on Saturday.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—" The Life Haft" at the Crystal Palace, under the management of Mr. Nimmo, the modern Barnum, is a great success. The interest attached to this light and apparently fragile, though really strong and ingenious, structure is of no ordinary description. The value of a life-raft so simple and easily put together, and one which has been subjected triumphantly to so severe a test of navigation across the Atlantic from the New to the Old World, must attract the attention and excite the surprise especially of all who are called upon to "go down to the sea in ships," and also of those who would reward the ingenious and humane endeavours of those who would add to our means of saving shipwrecked persons from the perils of the ocean. The adventurous captain and crew (of two men) attend the exhibition of the raft. The persecution of the Jews in Wallachia con tinues unabated, and every day brings the news of some fresh act of violence committed by the authorities. - - Ernst Schulz's " Masks and Faces," one of the most entertaining and really talented exhibitions of the day, is, we perceive, about to close. A look in at the Egyptian Hall will be found to furnish a new pleasure, and food for amusing reflection. ARE DRAMATIC CRITICS PLAYWRIGIITS ?—Thero is a very prevalent notion, fostered by many journals which abuse the tone and style of contemporary dramatic criticism, that nearly all the critics on tho metro. politan press are playwrights, whose want of independ ence is mainly- due to the dealings they have with managers. This is a mistake—and more, it is an injustice. With two or three exceptions, our dramatic critics are men who never write plays for the stage, or for the pigeon holes of a manager's desk. Thoy enter into no competition with the authors they aro called upon to criticise ; and if their judgment is biassed in any way, it is by personal more than by pecuniary influences. Mr. Dumphy, the dramatic critic of the Morniny Post, is not a playwright, and Mr. Desmond Ryan, who represents the Standard and llerald, and is a musical as well as a dramatic critic, never wrote a drama or an operetta. Mr. E. L. Blanchard, of the Daily Telegraph, supplies pantomimes very regularly to Drury Lane Theatre, but does no other dramatic work. Mr. F. G. Tomlins, who represents the Morn ing Advertiser, wrote a tragedy called " Gracia ; or, The Noble Error," many years ago, but has never repeated the error ; and Mr. J. Llollingsworth, who writes tho dramatic notices for the Daily News, is the author of one farco produced in 1858, and has never written another.—The Broadway. An extraordinary scene of violence has just oc curred in the Court of Correctional Police at Riom (Puy-de-Dome). A man named Clciment was re cently condemned by the Tribunal of jiannat to a month's imprisonment for vagabondage, against which judgment both the accused and the public prosecutor appealed, the latter demanding a more severe punishment, as the man had already under gone several previous condemnations. The Court of Rioni now increased the sentence to four ' months' imprisonment and five years' surveillance by the police. The prisoner had no sooner heard the decision than he stooped down, took off his heavy wooden shoe, and hurled it with all his force at the judge, and at the same time addressed him in the grossest language. Fortunately the missile passed afew inches over the President's head, but made a deep hole in the plaster, tearing the hang ings with which the wall was covered. A gen darme and two other prisoners who were standing by them attempted to secure the prisoner, who, be ing a man of herculean force, struggled for some time, and continued uttering loud vociferations against the judge. At length the man's hands and feet were bound, and he having been placed before the bar to be tried for this outrage, received au additional sentence of five years' imprisonment ; the Court likewise ordered that he should be for bidden to reside in the some locality as the Presi dent for ton years after the expiration of his sentence. A correspondent writes to us respecting the quota tion candid() lapillo (with a white pebble) made by his Excellency M. Duxtry, when proposing the health of the Linperor at the dinner given at tho hotel of Public Instruction on the occasion of the distribution of recompenses to the pupils of the various colleges of Paris.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day, coast wise and by land carriage, wore in good saleable condi tion. For all kinds the demand ruled heavy, and prices had a drooping tendency. A few samples of new Tala vera sold at 725. to 755. per quarter. Their quality was not very good. We wore heavily supplied with foreign Wheat, in which only a retail business was passing on rather easier terms. The iwports have been very extensive. The barley trade was firm at full prices. The supply of barley was limited. Malt, the supply of which was good, changed hands slowly, and late rates were with difficulty supported. There was a good demand for oats at Gd per quarter [note money when compared with Monday last. The mpply of foreign was rather extensive. Beans were held at full prices, but the inquiry for them Yes inactive. Peas maintained their previous value, with a slow trade. The flour trade was heavy, at lato rates. Several parcels of new rapeseed, in primp condition , were disposed of at 62s per quarter. In other seeds, as well as in cakes, very little was doing. CURRENCY PER IMP.

Our market to-day was well supplied with foreign stock, in somewhat improved condition. All breeds sold heavily at depressed currencies. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts wore seasonably good, both as to number and quality. Owing in some measure to the moderate attend ance of buyers, the demand for all breeds was heavy in the extreme, at a decline in the quotations, compared with this day so'unight, of fully 21 per 81bs. The top price for Scots and crosses was 4s 10d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Loicestersbire, and Northampton shire we received about 1,830 shorthorns and crosses ; from other parts of England, 750 various breeds ; and from Scotland, 24 Scots and crosses. We were tolerable well, but not to say heavily, supplied with sheep, the quality of which was by no moans first rate. The trade was in a most depressed state, and the curren cies gave way fully 2d per 81bs. Tho best Downs and half-breds changed hands at barely 4s 10d per 81bs. There was scarcely any demand for lambs, the show of which was seasonably good, and prices declined 4d per 81bs. The highest figure was 5s 6d por 81bs.

There are no less than four meetings this week, and it is a vain hope to expect any satisfactory relief from this plethora of racing until the Stewards of the Jockey Club can be persuaded to make a settlement of " racing fixtures" throughout the country as well as at Newmarket a part ef their duties. In most pursuits "vested interests" • are always taken into consideration . ; but in respect of "esta blished" race meetings, the competition of a "mushroom" class, which aro weekly cropping up, especially about the metropolis, is enough to swamp oneLhalf the legitimate ones that have stood the test of timo up to the present day. The Jockey Club have ample power, and I hope shortly they will also have the inclination, to put their "veto" on the indiscriminate arrangements which not only cause the incessant clashing of ono gathering with an other, but allow all sorts and conditions of sporting-met , to get up meetings from the most mercenary of motives, of which the accursed gate system is a never-failing Another crying evil, for which a simple remedy might be found, is the " putting down" of Welshing, at any rate in the Grand Stands, where the admission fee entitles, 01 should do so, every ono to protection from pickpockets and their confreres, "Welshers." For bistance, I notice that tho stewards at Wolverhampton this week are the Earl Stamford, the Duke of Neweastb', Lord Vivian, Sir F. Johnstone, and 11. Chaplin, Esi., and if those noblemen and gentlemen would take the trouble to insist upon a paid officer being engaged—at least they can do so before allowing their names to be made use of at future meetings—the vagabonds in question would soon be com pelled to perpetrate their robberies elsewhere. This is a claim which gentlemen who patronise sporting have a right to enforce upon the consideration of all stewards, whose names ought to be an infallible criterion of the cha racter of any mooting to which they attach their names. At Brighton, during the past week, the worst class of swindlers obtained access to the principal stand with impunity, and carried out their systems of robberies, for they have both a legal and illegal way of picking pockets, with the greatest effrontery. Remonstrances to clerks of the .courses having been made over and over again without success, it is now time to appeal to higher authorities, and we hope the influence of the Hon. Ad miral Rous,' the Earl of Westmorland, and Baron Roths child, who were stewards of that meeting, will not be sought fbr in vain. Backers of horses are most unfort& nate ad to class, and they aro not unreasonable in de manding that the services of proper officers should be employed for their protection inside as well as outside the Grand Stand. The stewards' suggestions in:such a case as this would be immediately carried out, and any one of those parties who are naturally looked up to as the protectors of the best interests of the Turf will, on advocating these views, be worthy of the most grateful thanks from all well-wishers thereto. The Wolverhampton Stakes has dwindled down to a small compass, and appears a foregone conclusion for HoxEimoox or Moosz. For the Port Meadow Plate, RUSTIC BEAUTY and TIMOLAUS have nothing to complain of in their weight, and the Staffordshire Nursery Handicap looks a good thing for MAESDERWEN MADAME BOSCO must be a rip indeed if sho cannot win the Stewards' Plate. The Ninth Stamford Biennial Stakes is a certainty for ITNcAs or Sractmum, presuming as a matter of course that Lady Elizabeth will be an absentee. On Wednesday, I should think KING OF SPADES would represent Wadlow's lot for the Borough Members' Plate, and win. Should MOULSEY be sent for the Cleveland Cup he will have his work cut out to beat FEODOR, to whom he has to give 3st within 21b, which I have great doubt of his being able to do. On going carefully over the per formances of the 42 nominations for the Eighth Stamford Biennial Stakes, I give a decided preference to OPOPONAX, whose most dangerous opponent appears to be THE RES CUE, but perhaps the latter may be saved for ono of the great Autumn handicaps. Now that LIFE GUARDSMAN has displayed his utter incapacity to gallop in good com pany, one may venture to predict a chance of his success in the Holyoaks Stakes. The Chillington Stakes has some first-class two year olds engaged, but ORION is my recommendation, as See-Saw and Formosa are evidently not in good form, nor was Banditto's running at Brigh ton very encouraging. Egham races also take place on Tuesday and Wednes day. Tho Runnymede Stakes will most likely be won by DUET or DIAMOND. The King John Stakes reads like a struggle between LA BELLE JEANNE, PHILOSOPHER, and MILTON, and if it is thought a worthy prize for the daughter of Weatherbit and Miss Aldcroft I think she will obtain it, although it must not be forgotten the two first named are penalised 61b, while the latter takes a 31b allowance for his maiden qualification. Dimon= cannot very well lose the Welter Handicap, and MusA ought to give a good ac count of herself for the Betting Stand Plate. Concerning Wednesday's programme, the Duko of Edinburgh Cup will doubtless attract a good many of the twenty-five nominations to the post, but STAGIIOUND, if he were in last year's form, would have about two stew , in hand. Under any circumstances ho ought to win with his light impost, and next to him 1 fancy Mum The Baron's Stakes is a gift to BENEVOLENCE if she runs, but her owner has a strong objection to being forestalled iu the market, to corrol)orato which assertion I need only call to mind the scratching of Lucifer for the Goodwood Stakes, and the above-mentioned filly for the Brighton WIC } nu n i b PaiMAar , aellil;;O. For the Handicap Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each COURT CARD is as well in as anything in the race, and must repre sent my interests. The Surrey and Middlesex Stakes will be won by LA DAUPHINE. On turning my attention to the Stockton meeting, to be held on Wednesday and Thursday, I cannot refrain from complimenting Mr. Craggs on the superior quality of the entries he has obtained for many of the stakes at this pleasant reunion. On the first day the Cleveland Stakes, for two-year-olds, has to bo,decided, and it will most assuredly be one of the most interesting events of the week. Europa has incurred a penalty of 91b, Frolicsome and La Mousse 71b, and Af fection 41b, whilst of the dark division Mr. Jackson has a well-bred colt by Orlando out of Bouquet (brother to Born bastes), and Mr. John Scott another, Viscount, by Marquis from Columbine, both of whom are likely to be amongst the competitors on this occasion. Europa's merit is un deniable, but I question if she can carry her heavy weight successfully past the winning post on this occasion. I symmetry and good looks are any passport to success, Viscount is bound to be at the winner's heels, if not the winner; still I must reluctantly throw him over this jour ney in favour of BROTHER TO BOMBASTES, who, it may not be out of place to mention, is engaged in next year's Derby. The Tradesmen's Handicap has only eleven horses remain ing in, Moulsey having been struck out since the accept ances were published. Of these STRATIICONAN and TREA SURE TROVE are best in, and the latter should have no difficulty in winning if sent fit and well to the post.. I fancy ELFETA for the Harry Fowler Stakes. The Tenth Zetland Biennial Stakes, in the absence of Hermit and Knight of the Garter, will be reduced to a match between ROMPING GIRL and FERYACQUES, and I have a slight pre ference for the filly, though she carries 31b. more penalty than the French Derby winner. The Great Northern Leger, as Marksman is not likely to fulfil this engagement, rests between TARABAN and TYNEDALE, and as the latter is sure to go straight, he is my choice. In the Town Plate, even if ELFETA incurs a penalty for winning the previous day, she cannot very well be beat. MERRY ANDREW is a doubtful runner, but with a start he would, I think, be worth backing for the Wyn yard Handicap. The Lambton Plato will go to EUROPA, unless the colt by Orlando—Bouquet should prove himself worthy of the commendation 1 have already bestowed upon him. The Hardwicke Stakes has no less than seventy two subscribers, of which, as TIMARU is entitled to 51b allowance, and ought to have beaten Lady Highthorn at Chester, she must be my champion. CAPREILA is extremely well in in the Elton Juvenile Stakes. Friday's events include the Eleventh Zetland Biennial Stakes, which THE RUSSIAN BEAR should be about win ning, as he claims 51b allowance. For the Garbutt Nur sery Handicap ORANGE BLOSSOM is very likely to repay an investment. The Middlesborough Handicap; should go to LORD RONALD. Tho Four Year Old Claret Stakes has STRATIICONAN and WESTWICE. engaged, but. I have a de cided preference for the first named. In the Stewards' Cup the Duke of Beaufort must have a great chance with IStniA, if she has recovered any portion or her three-yr old merit, while ELFETA'S previous running will he a satil faetory guide as to her chance for this'eveut.

(From the Nezenzarket Correspondent of the Racing Times.) All racing men look orwar d with pleas ure to the, Brighton Meeting, but they were sadly disappointed, as the rain came down in torrents ou the first two days, and marred the pleasure not only of the racing public, but of pleasure-suckers in general. All the patrons of the turf, from the peer to the tout, had their families at Brighton ; but instead of enjoying the sea-breeze they wore confined to their hotels or lodgings each day until two o'clock. The weather on Thursday, the Club Day, was pretty good, assemblies ever during requires but a pass in g notice from me. Most of the horses that ran during the week were very moderate, and the rac ing was most disastrous to backers of horses. Confederate has turned out as good a bargain to Captain Machell as Old Volunteer, and he must have already paid a thousand per cent. on his purchase. During the past week his run ning naiake the two year olds of this year, with one or Ova exceptions, only moderate, as he gave Philosopher 321 b, and rollaway from him ou Wednesday whil6t the Ltt ter caul° cut the game afternoon, and beat Veda an 4 'ea' §al,6 SHARE LlST—This Day.

I'he weather was beautiful at Lewis, and Mr. Vorrall had two splendid days racing ; but, like the class, of horses that run at Brighton, they were only nrelerate. There wore large fields, close centests, and seer) heavy hinting )n nearly all the races.

Teems the Lewes ilandicap will long be rani einh wed foe the mistake that was made in the race, but wader any circumstances Brayley must have won. Any further comments from me on the racing of the past week would not be the least interesting to your readers, therefore I shall proceed it once to offer a few remarks on Wolverhampton and Egliam. There is no ono more particularly acivainted with the black country than the writer of this, and 1 am sorry to see such a falling off in the programme of this - once popular meeting, where the bowels of the earth are deprived of their thickly-populated inhabitants during the two days, when the hard working colliers turns out is thou sands to witness the sport that is 'provided for them. 1 remember a Government official was once sent to take the census of the black country, and in his remarks of what he saw there said ho fOund them stunted in body and mind. lam afraid those at the head of affairs there now are troubled with the latter complaint, as they want to keep all the money in their own county. It is quite evident the handicap for the Wolverhampton Stakes Was made for the home stable, as Honeymoon can't lose if wanted. The only one I can see with any chance to contend with her is Moose. The Cleveland Cup has only an indifferent class of horses entered for it, and it looks like a match bet preen Moulseyand the Amanda colt. What a falling off from the days when we saw such horses as Harkaway, Charles the Twelfth, Hillus, and Traveller con tend for it, but in those days Mr. Frank Marshall, a re spected townsman, was at the head of affairs, and after ho want to " that bourne from whence no traveller returns," it went down to a regular loather -flapping meeting. Mr Devereux was then called to the head of affairs, and th ; partlyand succee ded in restoring it to something like its old for what with the handsome sum of .£lOO added to the stake by the Earl of Stamford, it bids fair to rank ones more among the best Country m eetin g s. The present handicap seems to have given offence to the Lord of Enville, as he scratched all his horses on the appear ance of the weights, and thereby hangs a tale. The Stamford Biennial will be won by - Linea; as I am told John Day will have no horses at Wolverhampton, and Specalum and Ninny must have had enough of it dur ing the past week. The Patshull Stel* looks a good thing for one of Wadlow's, who can win witth whichever he likes to run, and the Staffordshire Nursery will be won by Beauty if Mr. Wood thinks the stakes worth running for. Wadlow has five in the Borough Members' Plate, and whichever represents the stable will win, most likely King of Spades. The Eighth Stamford Biennial looks a good thing for Opoponax. 11 ho. runs the Chillington Stakes will be won by Orion. Mr. Marshall's pleasant little meeting at Egham is sure to be patronised by most of the members of the London ring, as few will care to go as far north as Wolverhampton and Stockton after their busy week at Biighton and Lewes. The Surrey and Middle sex Stakes looks a very good thing for La Dauphine after her running at Goodwood and Brighton. La Belle Jeanne will win the King John Stakes. Duet or Vixen ought to win the Runneymedo Stakes. JOHN STIRS, • 25, WELLINGTON-STREET, STRAND, Executes Commissions on all tho races to any amours The full market odds laid. Price list daily.
