XONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There has beon some conversation in the city to 41Y anont the probability of the minimum rate of discount of the Bank of England being reduced to 2 per cent. On good commercial bills money is not worth more, since large sums cannot be got out 1 . 11 such security at 2i per cent., the demand, too, is small under a corrected trale, the inflation Which prevailed twelve months ago having been succe2ded by steady mercantile operations more in a ccordance with the principle of supply and demand. The issue price of the new stock is fixed at 40. The result of the operation will be that the existing i s tocks are converted into a Three per Cent. Conso lidated Stock at the following prices :—First-class Interior and Deferred of 1831 at 48, second-class Exterior at 32, Second-class Interior at 25. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 30 32, and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds at 24 25. There were no gold operations at the Bank of egland yesterday afternoon. The polling of the shareholders of the National Provincial Marine Insurance Company (which st ood adjourned from the general meeting of T hursday last) took place this day, the result being a very large majority for continuing the business, 41 4 requesting the directors to ask the Master of t he Rolls to dismiss the petitions presented by Mr. l iodge, solicitor, and Mr. M'Allum, both of New castle -on-Tyne. The 31st annual report of the South Australian "tnpany, just issued, states the general condition o f the company continues to be satisfactory, though some of the sources of revenue were affected by t he monetary disturbance last year. There has, ne vertheless, been an increase of £227 in the rental over the previous year. The income of the year, Including profit on sales of land, appears, after de duction of home and colonial charges, to be , ' 30 )170 17s. 2d. From this sum the Directors recommend that a dividend of eight per cent. per annum, free of income tax, be declared payable on 15th July and 15th January next. They also recommend that a bonus of two per cent. or 10s. t share be paid to the proprietors on the 15 th J uly This bonus is derived from the surplus profits °f the years 1864 and 1865, which the directors aid not feel justified in dividing until they were satisfied that the increased income of the company 'ilfo4l d probably be maintained. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to 'a7, the French Rentes were 70fr. 50c. Scarcely anything doing. Despite the efforts of the " bears" Consols con vt)ntinue buoyant. Nothing but a political cata trophe can check the flow of investing capital into the Funds, and Governmental securities generally. „ h ere Oil the 3 per cents. attain a higher quotation ri ere would appear to be very little chance of per blahent taxation. Foreign Bonds,too, must command higher level, as well as all colonial and other gliaranteed stocks. Railways, likewise, though 13 2 1 1ie of them may be financially distressed, possess substance, and therefore quite different from asso thted enterprise, subsisting only upon its credit in i des market.

The Parliamentary Return of the Fire Insurance Duty paid in 1866 has just been published, and, with the excep tion of a few outstanding amounts, consists entirely of duty at the reduced rate of ls. 6d. per cent. _ _ _ As it is interesting to observe the effect which the recent reduction of the Fire Duty may have had in stimulating an increase of Fire Insurances, we have made up an ac count for the two years, as though the duty had been at the reduced rate all along. We thus got a measure of the progress of each company during the past year, and the result is as follows: Increase in 1866 over 1865.

Death of Two Females by Fire. CORONER'S INQUEST-THIS DAY. This morning Mr. Payne, the coroner for the City of London, held an inquest in the Board room of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, respecting the death of Mrs. S. S. Thorne, aged 20, who resides in New-street-square. From the evidence, it ap peared that the deceased rushed down stairs enve loped in flames, and nearly burnt to a cinder. She was immediately conveyed to the before-mentioned hospital, but expired on her admission. No cause cal at present be assigned for the sad accident. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." Another inquest was held on the body of Mary Reade, a servant of the Blue Last Tavern, Comp ton-street, Clerkeuwell. It appeared that the de ceased was cleaning a plate-glass window over the fire-place when her clother became ignited, which resulted in death. The jury in this case also re turned a verdict of "Accidental death."; THE COMMERCE OF EGYPT. Mr. Consul Stanley, in his report on the trade and commerce of the port of Alexandria in 1866, says -.-." In 1865, 4,263 vessels entered, and in the ten years comprised from 1856 to 1865, there en tered 26,914 vessels, giving an average of 2,691 per year. In 1866 there arrived 3,703 vessels. British vessels in 1866 maintained their proportion of the carrying trade to Alexandria. This has always been rhuch larger than that of any other nation ; and although the number of Turkish and Egyptian ships considerably exceeds the British, the tonnage of the latter is much greater, amounting to nearly half the tonnage arriving from all nations. The development of the railways, and the introduction of steam power for irrigation and cotton gins and pressure, have added largely to the coal required for the country ; and the wealth of the people, consequent on the profits derived from the cultivation of cotton, has largely contributed to tha general use of British manufactured goods amongst the rural population. Railways and canals are being pushed forward with much vigour. In addition to the main lines from Alexandria to Cairo and Suez, various branches have been made in the interior to the large towns of Zagazig, Mehallat-et-Kebir, Mansurah, and very shortly the latter line will be completed northwards to Damietta. A new line is also making to Suez. It will leave the main line at Benba, 30 miles from Cairo, will pass through Balbies and Zagasig, follow the fresh water line to Suez. The Viceroy is also constructing a line southward from Cairo. It is finished as far as Benisonef, 70 miles, and will shortly be opened to Minieh, 120 miles. It is said to be the intention of the Viceroy to carry it to Keneh, near Thebes, whence to Cossier, a port on the Red Sea ; it is 90 miles. To extend the line eventually to the ancient Berenin, and make it a port for mail steamers, is also said to be a plan of the Viceroy's. The telegraph is in operation to all the towns, and almost every village of importance in Lower Egypt. The trade of Egypt, during the year 1866, was far from prosperous ; at the same time, the mercantile community displaying great prurience and foresight in times particularly critical, may altogether be congratulated on having so well passed a most trying ordeal. Failures took place in the bazaars and amongst Levantines, a total want of confidence and a di s inclination to trade were for a time experienced ; but if the Europeans did not make gains, they, at least, to so me extent avoided losses; and it is confidently hoped that the year 1867 will prove more advantageous to commercial interests." TILE NAVAL REVIEW.—The grand review of the British fleet is appointed to bo held on the 15th, 16th, and 17th of July. The naval force engaged will include all available ships on the home stations, as well as the coast guard vessels and the gunboats, and it will assemble at Spithead on the 9th. Accommodation will be specially provided for the representatives of her Majesty's Govern ment and for the members of both Houses of Parliament to witness the imposing spectacle.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde.) STEEN V. STEEN AND GLOVER. This was a suit for a dissolution of marriage, on the ground of adultery. The adultery was denied, and an accusation was brought against the plaintiff that he had committed adultery with a girl named Lucy Jackson in August, 1863. Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Mr. Starchy Hill appeared for the petitioner, and Dr. Spinks, Q.C., and Mr. Griffiths for the respondent. The co-respondent was unrepresented. Dr. Deane stated that the parties in this case were married in September, 1851, both being about 26 years of age, and apparently in the same position of life, the pl tintiff being a printer and stationer at Wolverhampton, and the respondent being the daugh ter of a metal broker and banker there. They lived happily till October, 1863, when they went to live at Wensley Villa, about five miles from Wolver hampton, and they became acquainted with Mr. William Short Glover, who was a medi cal man assisting Mr. Edward Wynn Thomas, who was in large practice in Wolverhampton. Shortly a great intimacy sprung up between them, and the co-respondent returned ostensibly to come to visit the children, but in reality to visit the re spondent. These visits became very frequent, and were of considerable duration. The servants soon . began to notice them, especially as they were always made;in the absence of the husband, but as generally in such cases the husband was the last informed about it. At last in 1864 Mr. Glover was taken ill, and as he could not attend to the respondent, he asked Mr. Thomas to go to her. lie went, and the next day she made a confession to him which showed that criminal intimacy had subsisted between the respondent and co-respondent. The husband being a kind-hearted man did not take extreme steps at first , but sent his wife to Malvern ; and subse quently this action was brought. Miss M'Man stated that she was present at the marriage of the_, parties, and could identify certain letters which were in the hand writing of the respondent. (These letters were couched in terms at the outset of the greatest pathos, but went on to mention the " white washing of the back kitchen ceiling, preserves, the sewing, washing, &c," and were frequently inter rupted by exclamations as to her being " An un worthy wife," &c. Dr. THOMAS was examined, and deposed to his having received a confession from the respondent, which left no doubt that she had been too inti mate with the co-respondent. In cross-examination he said that he was aware that the respondent suffered from milk fever, which at times caused her to be out of her mind. She had been considered mad, and he had heard that she was threatened by her husband that she should be confined in a lunatic asylum. 'I he case was proceeding when we went to press. Central Criminal Court—This Day. (Before Mr. Justice Witles.) CHARGE OF MURDER. James Mooney, 36, was indicted for the wilful murder of his child, John James Mooney. Pri soner lived with his wife at Pembroke-place, Ken sington. On the 25th of May they had a quarrel, the result of which was that the wife quitted the house, leaving the child in bed. Next morning the child was found nearly burned to death -in the bed, and no person but the prisoner had been in the apartment. He treated the matter in a very flip pant manner, and stated that he left a candle on the table, but that he afterwards found it on the bed. Az/ examination was made, during which it was dis covered that some other parts of the bed had been on fire, but had been put out by water. It was proved that the prisoner was drunk, and nothing was shown to prove any malice or threat against the child, which he carried to the hospital on the morn ing it was discovered so severely injured. The learned Judge did not think the evidence suf ficient to convict the prisoner of the capital offence, and the jury accordingly acquitted him. He was hen indicted for assaulting his wife, in answer to which he said that he found her in the street in a state of intoxication talking to strangers, and that when he got home a violent quarrel took place r and he committed the offence with which he was charged. The jury found him guilty, and the learned judge sentenced him to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) STEALING TIIE FULHAM MAIL BAG. Two young men named Sparge Shannan, a militiaman, and Richard Neville, were indicted with stealing the Fulham mail bag, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster-General. The prisoners, it was stated by the police, were well-known thieves, and in the early part of the month of May they were observed hanging about the post-office near Buckingham Palace-gate for several days previous to the robbery. On the after noon of the robbery the mail cart drove up to the front office, and the bag of letters was placed with i t , previous to which the driver had quitted his seat.

SINGULAR FATALITY AMONG SHEEP ON SHIP- BoARD.—On the arrival of the serew7steamer Stettin at Leith on Sunday afternoon her captain reported that of about 600 sheep he took on board at Copenhagen 111 had died and been thrown into the sea. The weather and behaviour of the vessel wore all that could bo desired, yet, many of the sheep sickened others inthe so weak that they dook two of the andaf rnoimmdasileosdml. were f a ft c oe c ru o n u tdh n t ed a e b av l de e ,s c , a ao t in t s d e l , vlass had to be carried ashore.

S. Cohen's establishment in London—the invention of an improved process of making black-laid pencils. The lead is placed within the slips of cedar in a complete and perfect length in the most expeditious and skilful manner, and the pencil is so rapidly perfected that every visitor is anxious to possess the trifling souvenir of the Exhibition he has seen manufactured. The lead pencils of Mr. Cohen have attained great celebrity and very extensive patronage in the artistic profession and drawing-schools in the me tropolis on account of the superior quality of the com pressed Cumberland lead used in their manufacture, their colour, and the ease with which they rub out—two very very important particulars in drawing pencils. The red and blue pencils of the same manufacturer, so extensively used in London, and which received the prize medal at the Exhibition in 1862, seemed to meet with the most exten sive patronage in Paris.

STRANGE DELUSIONS.-Dr. Cross, medical officer, and Mr. Bowman, relieving officer, of St. Martin's parish, attended the court this morning for the pur pose of obtaining Mr. Knox's signature to the neces sary documents for the admission of a man named John Adatns, to Hanwell Lunatic Asylum. It appears that for some time past the poor fellow has been labouring under the delusions that the lions at the base of the Nelson Monnment, Trafalgar-square, have been set at liberty and get growling under his bed for the purpose of undermining it, and also that voices address him from the ceiling.
