MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGttiON, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for accommodation in the general discount market continues limited, without any change to report in the rates current. At the weekly court of the Directors of the Bank of Eng land, as was generally anticipated, no alteration was made in the minimum rate of discount, and it still remains therefore at 2 per cent. On the Stock Exchange money is plentiful, and loans on Govern ment Securities are readily obtainable for short dates at 1 per cent. The Australian Mortgage Land and Finance Company (Limited) have announced the payment of an interim dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. on the paid-up capital, for the half-year ending 30th June last, payable on and after the 4th No vember next. The balance-sheet from Australia, duly audited for the first six months of the year, shows a net profit of £17,504, after deducting interest on debentures, rebate, &c., and the pay ment of all expenses ; out of this sum the interim dividend will amount to £8,750, leaving £8,754 to be carried forward. At the meeting on the 23d instant of the share holders of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, the directors will recommend a dividend for the half-year ending the 30th June last of £3 per share, free of income tax, including the profit from the insurance account. The sum of £134,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday, making a total efflux since the last Gazette return of £462,000. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have declined i-, to 24 25, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds to 20 21. The silver market is rather firmer, a portion of the late arrivals of dollars and the bar silver by the last West India packet having been sold at an advance of The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under :- 1867. 1866.

The bar silver brought by the West India steamer has been disposed of at 601 d., and a limited amount of Mexican dollars by this and by one or two other vessels bas been sold at 59id., in both instances showing an advance of id. - The biddings for £lOO,OOO in bills on India were held yesterday at the Bank of England, and the whole was allotted on Calcutta. The minimum price was fixed, as before, at ls. 111. on Calcutta and Madras, and tenders at Is. 1 lid. on Calcutta will receive about 80 per cent., while those above that price will be allotted in full. No tenders for bills on Bombay were invited. The terms thus ob tained show a further slight decline in the demand for means of remittance to the East. The Crown agents for the Colonies have invited the holders of New Zealand Government 8 per cent. Treasury Bills falling duo on the 31st of December next to exchange them for 6 per cent. Debentures of the General Government of that co lony llaving 24 years to run. Th e p ro p ose d ra t e o f e xchange is equal to a price of 103! for the 6 per cents., and the operation will be effected by the de livery of a Treasury Bill, with the final coupon attached, for a debenture of equal amount, bearing interest from the 15th of December, 1867. It is understood that the Treasury Bills held in this country, and falling due at the end of the present sear, amount to about £400,000 ; but as the pro -I)3Bed transacti on w ill b e mere l y th a t o f su b s tit u ti ng ail se curity for another, representing the same ount, n o a ddi t i onal capital will be called for, and ` o ' o only result will be that of lessening the liability the colony to the extent of the difference between the two rates of intere s t a ll owe d, or b e t ween e i g h t 411 4 nine thousand a year. l Two O'CLOCK.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE F. D. B. ST. JOHN-ANOTHER VICTIM TO OVEREND, GURNEY, AND CO. This bankrupt was described as a banker's clerk, of St. Faith, Norfolk, and to-day was appointed for the last examination and order of discharge. The bankrupt attributed his failure to being con stantly harassed for calls as a contributory to Overend, Gurney, and Co., he being a shareholder. His total liabilities are £3,397, of which £1,877 are due to unsecured creditors, and the deficiency is £2,202. He owes £1,400 in respect of calls due to the estate of Overend, Gurney, and Co. Mr. Alridge, for the assignees, referred shortly to the figures in the case, and to the fact that the bankrupt had bought shares in Overend, Gurney, and Co. Bankrupt—l paid for the shares, and did not an ticipate any calls. A great many of the Norwich people took shares. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, said there was no opposition, and his Honour granted an imme diate order of discharge. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. F. Gibbons.) FORDITAM V. RANDALL AND EDWARDS (Trading as the London and Provincial Assurance, 24, Cornhill). This was an action to recover £3 upon a policy of assurance for certain glass windows and damages for breach of contract. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, who is proprietor of the Gladstone, St. Leonards-row, Bomley, and who proved that he had insured his property in the company. Some panes of glass had been broken, but defendants had not replaced them, and in consequence of this neglect plaintiff had suffered damage. His Honour—Have you the policy here? Mr. Buchanan—Certainly. The policy was then handed up to his Honour, who found by one of the clauses that no in dividual director was to be held liable for the debts of the company. His Honour—lt is clear that plaintiff cannot sue the defendants, who have made a special bargain of protecting themselves. _ Plaintiff—They carry on the company. His Honour—You have made a foolish bargain, and must be bound by it. Mr. Buchanan—• Cannot your Honour strike out the names of the defendants, and leave the "London and Provincial Assurance Company ?" His Honour—Oh! no ; you have sued the de fendants. You must sue the company. Plaintiff was then non-suited. No one appeared for either the defendants or the company. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY.—JuIius Hugo Leven stein, a commission agent, carrying on business in Lombard-street, in the City, was charged with having conspired with another person, named Mecklenburgh, not at present in custody, for the purpose of obtaining goods to the amount of £366 4s. 11d. under false pretences, from Messrs. Crawford and Lindsay, linen manufacturers at Bambridge, in Ireland, who also had a warehouse in Milk-street, Cheapside. It appeared from the opening statement of Mr. Straight (instructed by Mr. W. Collings), who ap peared for the prosecution, that the complainants were extensive linen manufacturers, at Bambridge, in Ireland, and had a branch establishment in Milk street, Cheapside. The prisoner was a person who, in conjunction with a man named Mecklenburgh, re presented himself to be one of the agents of the house of Levenstein Brothers, merchants at Berlin, and had even gone so far as to state that he was a partner in that house. Some few months ago, the 27th June, it appeared that Mr. Mecklenburgh had called upon Mr. Martin, the London manager of Messrs. Craw ford and Lindsay's firm, and stated that he wanted some goofs for Messrs. Levenstein Brothers, of Berlin. Mr. Levenstein subsequently called, and goods were supplied to the amount of £366 4s. 11d. They gave a bill for £ll9 lls. 6d., which he (Mr. Straight) should ultimately be able to prove was a forgery, but at present he would confine himself to tendering such an amount of evidence as would justify a remand. It was only just to the prisoner to state that some of the evidence would have to come from a very doubtful source, but still it would be corroborated by disinterested and respectable testimony. One witness, whose evidence would be important, was at present waiting to take his trial at the Old Bailey for obtaining goods under false pretences, and this witness had been the managing clerk to Levenstein. On the next occasion he should endeavour to get rid of such evidence. Mr. Martin, the manager of Messrs. Crawford and Lindsay7said that he remembered Mr. Meek lenburgh coming to the warehouse and ordering the goods. After the preliminary inquiries were made they were supplied, not all at once, but by instal ments. The largest amount was when, in July, they came together and ordered about £lOO worth of goods. Leveustein called by himself in September. Ile came to match a pattern of linen, and witness said that it matched their own pattern-book. They sent for him afterwards to Lombard street. The prisoner then stated that he and one of the Levensteiu Brothers had married two sisters, and that they were cousins. He called about two days after. He then obtained an order from Mr. Levenstein. Shortly afterwards, sus picion being aroused, application was made to Messrs. Levenstein (Brothers), and they repudiated the order as emanating from them. The prisoner was then taken into custody. This evidence, and some of a similar description, justified a remand. THAMES. ROBBERY.—William Clarke, a boy about 14 years of age, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing a ss. paper of pence from the Widow's Son publichouse in Devons-road, Bromley. Yesterday morning Mr. Richard Brodie, the landlord of the Widow's Son, received information from a lad named William Appleton, of No. 5, Queen's-road, Bromley, that some boys had walked ' into his bar, and that one of them had brought out a packet of pence and given it to another boy. Mr. Brodie at once missed a brown paper packet from a sideboard, and gave information to the police. The prisoner was apprehended in the a ft ernoon by William Clowes, a police constable, No. 299 K, but no p a rt of the stolen m one y was found upon him. The boy Appleton, who l;ehaved very well in the affair, said that he saw the prisoner and two other boys in front of the Widow's Son at half-past eight o'clock yesterday morning. The prisoner went inside the house, and his companions waited at the door on the look out. The prisoner returned in a minute with a packet of money, which he gave to a bigger boy, and they all walked up the hill. lie left them dividing the money. Clowes said the prisoner belonged to a gang o young thieves who were continually frequenting the tradesmen's shops, and plundering the tills or any thing else they could lay their hands on. The pri soner was charged on Monday with stealing a tin, and escaped because the prosecutor was not in attendance. On another occasion the prisoner was indicted for stealing 9s. 4d., and the grand jury threw out the bill, and upon a third occasion he was tried by a jury and acquitted. The Prisoner--Settle this at once, your worship. I am guilty. Mr. Benson said that the prisoner was only lucky in escaping so often, but he would not escape this time. He should dispose of the case summarily, but not pass a light sentence. lie sentenced the prisoner to four months' imprisonment and hard labour. After the prisoner had been removed he was ordered back, and informed that, according to an act of Parliament, when the property stolen did not exceed in value ös., his sentence was altered to three monthf; impri.sorunent and hard labour. FRAUD ON A FRIENDLY SOCIETY. At the Manchester Police-court, yesterday, John Cooke, coffin maker, and late the secretary of the Manchester and Salford Independent Burial So ciety, was charged with embez.z.lement. Mr. R. B. B. Cobbett, who prosecuted, said the society held its meetings at the Royal Oak public-house, Oak-street, the landlady of which held the office of treasurer. The prisoner had been, the secretary of the society for some time, and a person named John Duggan had also till rec-cntly been one of its collectors ; and unfortunately the manner in which the business of the society had been managed was such that the secretary and collector had been depended on to check each other. Thus, if the secretary and collector agreed to de fraud the society, instead of their being checks on each other, the society was entirely powerless in their hands. There was no doubt this had been the case; Duggan had, it was said, gone to America, but the members had got the secretary, the pri soner, and were now prosecuting him. The charges were various in kind, and the amount involved was large. [The defalcations, it is said, amount to nearly £loo.] There were two cases of obtaining money under false pretences which were so clear that he should confine himself to them. The practice had been when a person died for a paper to be filled up on behalf of the claimant ; that paper had to be signed by the claimant, the collector, and the secretary, and on its presentation to the treasurer it was paid as a matter of course. He (Mr. Cobbett) had before him two papers of this kind, in respect of each of which £5 10s. had been paid. One of them, dated the 31st of July, professed to be in respect of the funeral of Jane Rowbottom, the claimant being Ann Rowbottom, and the deceased in the other case was one James Palmerston, and the claimant Mary Palmerston. These papers were signed by Duggan and by the prisoner, and the name of the claimants, who had apparently merely affixed their mark, was in the pri soner's writing ; on presenting these Duggan ob tained the money from the treasurer. It had since been ascertained that no such person as Jane Rowbottom and James Palmerston had died, and that there was no such person as Ann Rowbottom and Mary Palmerston in Duggan's district. Evi dence in support of this statement was then called. It appeared that the names of Rowbottom and Palmerston were not in Duggan's collecting book, through which it was the prisoner's duty to look, in order to carry forward the deaths recorded therein into his ledger. One of the society's rules was not in, which required that before certifying a claim, the secretary should see the de ceased's body, or a certificate signed by the registrar, or a physician, surgeon, or minister who had attended the deceased. The president, W. Singleton, stated that when he questioned the prisoner as to the pay ment of a spurious claim in respect of a person named Sellars, the prisoner said " he was aware of it, but he would not have done it only for Duggan." Witness asked the prisoner for the receipts referring to the 81 funerals of that quarter, and he said he had burned them.--Mr. Ambler submitted that a case could not be made out against the prisoner, who, he said, might, for anything which had been proved, have been an innocent agent of the collector Dug gan.—The prisoner was committed for trial. MARKE TS.7-This day. METROPOLITAN CATTLB. To-day's market was tolezably well supplied with beasts, which moved off slowly at barely Monday's currency. The highest quotation was 4s 10d per 81bs. Sheep—the show of which was only moderate—met a dull inquiry at the late decline in value. The best Downs and half-breds sold at 4s 8d per Blbs. We have to report a slow sale for calves at late rates—viz., from 4s 2d to 5s 2d per 81bs. The supply was rather limited. The best pigs realised full prices; otherwise, the pork trade was heavy.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKEi—This Day The Market opens steadily with a good business, Sales probably 12,000 or 15,000 bales. Tho death is announced of M. F. Dubner, one of the most accomplished Greek scholars of the age. Like most great Hellenists, M. Dubner was a German by birth, but had long settled in Paris. His industry was equal to his learning ; his editions and abridgments of Greek classics for the use of schools were very 'numerous, but his chief claim to the gratitude of scholars rests in his con tributions to the new edition of Stephen's The saurus, on which he was engaged conjointly with the late M. Hase, and his Scholia on Aristophanes. M. Dubner was in his 64th year. The bulletin of the Paris Observatory of yester day morning gives the following as the atmospheric situation :—" A strong barometrical pressure continues over the north of Europe ; on the Norway coast the wind blows fresh from E. It is gentle in the Baltic, the North Sea, the Channel, and the Atlantic ; and pretty strong from W. and S.W. on the French shores of the Mediterranean. A zone of low pressure ex tends on the W. of the coasts of Europe ; the glass stands only at 755 mm. in Italy, while it marks 775 mm. at Haparanda." In Paris yesterday the weather was beautiful, clear, and mild, like a summer day. At three the thermometer marked 20 Cenligrade (18 Fahrenheit). Lord and Lady Egerton of Tatton are enter taining a largo family circle at Tatton Park, Cheshire. The party have assembled for the wedding of the lion. Miss Egerton and Mr. Reginald Cholmondoley, which is to take place to-day. THE RUMOURED APPREHENSION OF KELLY.— The rumour current yesterday to the effect that "Colonel Kelly," one of the men liberated from the prison -van in Manchester on the 18th ult., had boon apprehended in Whitochapel by Inspector Brent, has not the slightest foundation in fact. The police at the East-end had from some cause or other suspected that a man answering the description of Kelly was secreted in a coffee-house in Com mercial-street, Whitechapel, and a kind of official raid was, in consequence, levied upon the said premises on Tuesday night, but tho result was like the hundred and ono already arrived at in London and its provinces—nil. Notwithstand ing this the blue-coated officials were last night still in pursuit of their prey, but up to the time of our going to press they had in no particular advanced in their mission of discovering the whereabouts of the fugitive Fenians.

After going a quarter of a mile Wild Moor ran into the third place, and Edgbaston had a momentary lead, Bandmaster for a short distance being in the roar. Passing the stand for the second time Steamboat still was in possession of the lead, Bandmaster now having taken second place, Edgbaston being about a length in rear of Wild Moor. Half a mile from home Bandmaster headed Steamboat, and went into the dip with a slight advantage. Although vigouronsly pur sued by Steamboat, Bandmaster always had the best of it, and won cleverly by a neck; a length separated the second and third, and Edgbaston was last. Mordan, the rider of Steamboat, lodged an objection against the winner for a jostle, which the stewards after investigating overruled.

The speculation which took place on the Cam bridgeshire was in most i ns t ances a mere reflex of the prices accepted yesterday. There were, how ever, one or two changes. Honesty made a further retrogression, retiring to 15 to 1 with a very un healthy appearance. Aefna, Knight of the Garter, and Julius were in most request, there being also frequent enquiries after Thinkhoolie. From the 100 to 1 division Tormentor emerged and reached 40 to 1 taken, consequent on many outlays in her favour. The other o quotations will sufficiently indi cate the tone of the market and the business done.

On Tuesday morning the new church of St. Bar- tholomew, which has been erected at Sealand, in Flintshire, was consecrated by the Bishop of St. Asaph. At the close of the ceremony, the River Dee Company entertained Mr. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., and other guests at lu nc h eon . _ _ Mr. GLADSTON;., in proposing the health of the Bishop, said the right rev. prelate had shown some indication of what he was desirous to do in the munificent donation which he had presented to the building fund of the church—(applause)--a donation which he believed was but one of many glorious ex. amples of a peculiar liberality and munificence. Ile was a man of open heart and open hand. He had ruled over that diocese for many years, and pos sessed the affection, respect, and admiration of all classes of the community. He was a man whose spirit of charity and love ran in every channel that was open to it. It was his pleasure in that com pany to propose the health of " The Bishop ;" but he had a postscript to add. The Bishop was absent, and could not speak for himself ; but there was another gentleman to whom they were greatly indebted who could speak for him he meant the Dean of Chester—(hear, hear, and ap plause) —one of the latest arrivals among them. lie (Mr. Gladstone) must not speak of him in that company as one could venture to speak of those who had been known in the diocese, or in the city of Chester or its neighbourhood for a long period of time. Ile might be permitted to observe, how ever, that everything they had seen and learned by actual experience of the Dean was in entire conformity with that high reputation which ho had earned elsewhere, and he (Mr. Gladstone) trusted that Dr. Howson might live for many years to strengthen the hands of the excellent Bishop of Chester, and to fill with honour and advantage to himself and all around him the great sphere of usefulness in which he was placed. Able men, wise men, qualified men, were great treasures to the community. In no condition of things could they be abundant. Let us therefore recognise them and know them when we get them. His opinion was that in the Dean of Chester they had a man of that description, and he had given them a sample of it that day in the sermon he had been so good as to preach before them. He begged to propose the health of the Lord Bishop of the diocese. (Great applause.) Dr. Howson briefly replied. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. A correspondent of the Pall-Mall Gazette fur nishes some accounts of the reconnoitring party despatched to Abyssinia :—" A letter received from a gentleman on board the Euphrates brings the news that that steamer and two others, the Coromandel and the Scinde, having on board the exploring party, uuder the command of Colonel Merewether, left Bombay on the 15th September last. The Euphrates and the Coromandel reached Aden on the evening of the 26th, after a bad passage, the latter vessel having lost ten mules out of 149 on board. The Scinde having the tent equipage on board, had to put back to Bombay through stress of weather. The expedition consists of 100 rank and file, 21 Bombay Native Infantry, and 40 troopers 3d Bom bay Cavalry, and the under-mentioned officers : Lieut.-Colonel Merewether, commanding ; Lieut.- Colonel Wilkins, chief engineer ; Lieut.-Colonel Phayre, Quartermaster-General ; Major Baigree, Lieutenant Pottinger, Quartermaster General's de partment; Capt. Goodfellow, field engineer; Lieut. Jopp, assistant field engineer ; Major Mignion, Lieutenant Mortimer, Lieutenant Hemmel, com missariat department ; Dr. Martyn, Dr. Lumsdaine, medical officers. The party were expecting to leave Aden on the 29th for Massowah. Their principal objects are—first, to find a suitable har bour and shore for debarkation and location of some 200 steamers and transports ; and secondly, to find a good route and post inland on the high land, some sixty miles from the shore. It is probable that the landing place will be fixed in Annesley Bay, which is some distance south of Massowah." The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Parts Is about at par, and the short exchange on London Is 251 15c. per Li sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price t f i;s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-:oth per cent. dearer in Paris than in Lon don. rhe , xitiree of exchange at New York on London for bills at so days' sight is about 10:1 per cent. at this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States.
