ONEY MAR BET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Harvest operations aro partially concluded, and the necessary expenditure has had little or no effect upon the Money Market. The local requirements ordinarily exercise some influence, notes and coin being so much required by the country banks. The minimum of the Bank, however, remains at 2 per cent., as the directors of the national establishment at their meeting to-day separated without notifying any alteration in their terms for commercial paper. The sum of £22,000 in blr gold was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The Shannon has left Lisbon with the Brazilian mails, and about £75,000 in specie. At the meeting of the Don Pedro (Brazilian) Mining Company the dividend declared was 3s. 6d. per share for the quarter ending the 30th June, being at the rate of 100 per cent. per annum. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben tures remain steady at 23 25 ; but the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds have receded to 21 21f. At the meeting held to-day of the South-Eastern Railway Company the report was presented. With respect to the dividend, it stated that after making provision for all fixed charges, rents, and interest on the whole of the capital expenditure on lines and stations productive and open for traffic, the sum remaining applicable to the dividend on the consolidated stock is £107,904 6s. 11d. This sum is equal to the payment of a dividend at the rate of £2 16 s. Gd. per cent. per annum, but the directors recommend that the whole of the interest on capital - invested in unproductive works, including the direct Tunbridge line, be charged to revenue ; de ducting this sum (.£29,182 4s. 2d.) there will re main £78,722 2s. 9d., which is equal to a dividend on the consolidated stock after the rate of £2 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of £2,357 14s. 9d., and this dividend the directors recommend to be paid on Thursday, the sth September. Revenue will thus bear all interest charges. The cotton report of Messrs. E. B. Liddell and Co., dated Alwandria, 19th August, states that the market remagns in the same lifeless condition as reported on the 12th instant, and the transactions may be considered as nil. With regard to cereals, they state that the unfavourable news from your side for Egyptian wheat has had very little effect Upon prices here, as arrivals are small and freight to Liverpool by steamers has been as low as 3s. 3d. Per qr. Tho annexed communication is from the com mittee of Spanish Passive Bondholders :-- TO TUB EDITOR OF THE SUN.

The Commission upon the Ritual of the Church of England have agreed upon the following report : 41 To TILE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY, " Your Majesty having been graciously pleased to issue a Commission reciting that differences of practice have arisen from varying interpretations put upon the Rubrics, Orders, and Directions for regulating the course and conduct of public wor ship, the administration of the Sacraments, and other services contained in the Book of Common Prayer according to the use of the United Church of England and Ireland, and more especially with reference to the ornaments used in the churches and chapels of the said United Church and the vest ments worn by the ministers thereof at the time of their ministration'—and that it is expedient that a full and impartial inquiry should bo made into the matters aforesaid with the view of explaining or amending the said Rubrics, Orders, and Direc tions, so as to secure general uniformity of practice in such matters as may be deemed essential'—and enjoining your Commissioners 'to make diligent inquiry into all and every the matters aforesaid, and to report thereupon from time to time as to' them, or any ten or more of them, may appear to be most expedient, having regard not only to the said Rubrics, Orders, and Directions contained in the said Book of Common Prayer, but also-to any other laws or customs relating to the matters afore said, with power to suggest any alterations, im provements, or amendments with respect to such matters, or any of them, as' they, ' or any ten or more of them, ' may think fit to recommend.' " We, your Majesty's Commissioners, have, in accordance with the terms of your Majesty's Com mission, directed our first attention to the question of the vestments worn by the ministers of the said United Church at the time of their ministration, and especially to those the use of which has been lately introduced into certain churches. " We find that while these vestments are re garded by some witnesses as symbolical of doctrine, and by others as a distinctive vesture whereby they desire to do honour to the Holy Communion as the highest act of Christian worship, they are by none regarded as essential, and they give grave offence to many. " We are of opinion that it is expedient to re strain in the public services of the United Church of England and Ireland all variations in respect of vesture from that which has long been the esta blished usage of the said United Church, and we think that this may be best secured by providing parishioners with an easy and effectual process for complaint and redress. " We are not yet prepared to recommend to your Majesty the best mode of giving effect to these con clusions, with a view at once to secure the objects proposed and to promote the peace of the Church ; but we have thought it our duty in a matter to which great interest is attached not to delay the communication to your Majesty of the results at which we have already arrived. " We have placed in the Appendix the evidence of the witnesses examined before us, the documents referred to in the evidence or produced before the Commissioners, the cases laid before us, which were submitted to eminent counsel on either side of the question, together with the opinions thereupon ; also the report on the subject made by the com mittee of the Lower House of the Convocation of the Province of Canterbury, and the resolutions passed by the Upper as well as the Lower House of that Convocation, and the resolutions passed by the Convocation of the Province of York. " All which we humbly beg leave to submit to your Majesty. " 19th August, 1867." A SHOWER OF FROGS !—Punch will be pleased to learn that, according to the Press of Vienna, what is called a shower of frogs fell in that city a few days back. After a stormy evening and an extraordinarily warm rain the borders of the canal were found, early the following morning, to Fe covered with thousands of young frogs of the same size and colour —in some Oleos they were in heaps.

SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) UMBRELLAS ON BOARD STEAMBOATS.-IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC.-JONES V. THE GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. This was an action to recover the value of an umbrella, lost on board one of the company's ves sels on the passage from London to Aberdeen. Plaintiff stated that his wife was a passenger on board one of the steamers, and she had as part of her luggage a tin box and an umbrella. Round the box there were straps, and plaintiff's wife had pushed the umbrella through these straps, subsequently leav ing it. When she was going off the vessel she found the tin box, but the umbrella had been taken away. A gentleman, who appeared for the company, produced a ticket, which set forth that the com pany would not be answerable for any luggage placed on board their vessels. His honour said that in face of the ticket pro duced plaintiff could not recover. If he had desired to make the company liable he should have paid them to take care of his property, and as he had not done so he must be nonsuited. Plaintiff nonsuited.

Ever since the foundation of the Printers' Almshouses at Wood Green, the necessity for their establishment has been painfully demon strated by the want of additional accommodation, and the evil to be baffled with has steadily outrun the means that could be collected to contend with it. The council have effected a union of the Almshouse Fund with the Printers' Pension Corporation. With the view of inaugurating this amalgamation of the two funds, an endeavour is now being made to collect a sum sufficient for the purpose of erecting a wing to the present building, to be called the "Celebra tion Wing." Contributions aro solicited from all who are interested in literature. In order to commence the sub scription, Mr. W. 11. Collingridge, proprietor of the City Press, has presented 100 guineas, on the condition that 900 more be raised to complete the sum required. Subscrip tions will be thankfully received for this special object by the collector, Mr. C. Pope, 14, Derby-street, Argyle square, W.C. AN INCIDENT IN THE SPANISH INSURRECTION.-- The Jornal do Comercio of Lisbon relates, according to its correspondents, that at the moment the King of Portugal entered Madrid 20 insurgents, who had been brought to the capital from Valencia and other provinces, were about to bo shot. Tho King, Dom Louis, sent to General Nar vaez to beg a pardon for the unfortunate men. The general replied that ho could not ask the Queen to extend her clemency to them, but he promised that they should not be put to death during tho stay iu Madrid of their Portu guese Maje6ties. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-THIS DAY. (Before Mr. Sergeant Dowling.) A young man named Patton was indicted for stealing lead from the roof of a house. The evidence was clear as to the robbery, and with respect to the prisoner being the person who committed it the witnesses for the prosecution were quite ratified. On the prisoner's behalf his mother and another witness were called to prove an alibi. The jury found a verdict of guilty. There was a second indictment against the pri soner for stealing lead off the roof of the Islington Literary Institute, and the learned judge suggested that that indictment had better be tried. The evidence in this case also appeared clear and positive as to the prisoner being the person seen o❑ the roof of the institute on the morning of the 12th of July, the day on which the lead was stolen. Mr. Ribton, at the close of the case for the pro secution, was addressing the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and was making some strong remarks upon the verdict given in the last case, taken in connec tion with the evidence he had called to prove an alibi, when The Foreman of the Jury rose and said—My lord, the jury really feel insulted by the remarks of the learned counsel ; he has no right to say they have given a wrong verdict. Mr. Sergeant Dowling—l also think that remarks of such a nature should not be passed upon twelve gentlemen who attend that court unpaid to perform a public and important duty. The Foreman—With respect to the remarks of the learned counsel I have to say that the present jury is composed of twelve gentlemen not inferior in station, and very little, if at all, inferior in in tellect to himself. Mr. Ribton—l think I must now appeal to the court for— The Foreman—We are here for the performance of a public duty of a serious nature, and it is not the right of the learned gentleman to lecture us, and to say that we have not returned a right verdict. Mr. Ribton--I never intended to say anything offensive to the jury, and if you have misappre hended me I cannot help that. If what I have said is not flattering or complimentary to you, I can't help that. I have no object or interest in this case except to see that my client has a fair and impartial trial. I don't see that I transgress the fair license of counsel in commenting Upon the ver dict which has been returned in the former case. How can I :t..3k you now to acquit the prisoner after the expression of feeling I have witnessed from that box. I, however, have to say that I never made the comparison of intellect or station that had emanated from the jury box. I make my observations with coolness ; but perhaps some of the jury think I am insulting them now ? A Juror —Yes. Mr. Ribton—lt don't matter to me what verdict you give, but I will say that if a wrong verdict was given in a civil case at nisi prigs, it was possible to get a new trial by an appeal to the judges in full court ; and did juries ever feel that they were insulted or imagined, that they had committed per jury when a new trial was granted? I therefore have a perfect right to question the last verdict. The mother of the prisoner, whose evidence had altogether been disregarded, might be in a humbler sphere than many of the jury, but that was no reason why she was to be looked upon as a perjurer. The Foreman—Will your honour ask the learned counsel to confine himself to the facts of the case. Mr. Ribton—l think I ought now to ask for the interposition of the court, but I will say that I don't see why the evidence of three respectable people is to be altogether disregarded. You, gentlemen of the jury, are sworn to give a true verdict on the evidence, and—. The learned Judge—l think, Mr. Ribton, your remarks far exceed the license of counsel. Mr. Ribton—Pardon me, my lord. I have only been some 17 or 18 years at the bar—l know what I'm doing. It's most embarrassing to be interrupted in the manner I have been. I call the mother to prove an alibi. Hav'nt I a right to do it? It is for the jury to say whether she is committing protest against sometimesobtained, the au- npeerrjiunrywoirlineoht.eonlvfjoerti:ise a and I therefore set my face against the practice. I say again it is too much to pass by the evidence given on behalf of the prisoner,. and that the jury by their verdict should at one and the same time declare the prisoner guilty of the theft and the mother of perjury. Were there no instances on record of mistaken identity, and might not this be one of them ? I have no object to serve incon sistent with strict justice. Justice was the prisoner's right ; and I feel sure that, despite the warmth of his expressions, he will get it. The learned counsel then called the prisoner's mother and a man named John Davis, the same witnesses as in the former case. Both swore most positively that on the 12th July, the day of the rob bery, the prisoner was at home at the time it was committed. Mr. Sergeant Dowling summed up the evidence, and said he was quite certain due weight would be given to the evidence adduced on the prisoner's behalf. After a few minutes deliberation the foreman said —We unhesitatingly pronounce the prisoner guilty. Lockyer then proved nine former convictions against the prisoner. . _ Mr. Sergeant Dowling said ho entirely concurred in the verdict of the jury. The evidence was per fectly° il l o t w ap t i l Zred that the could have ot se o olu e to cl e a a n r y ,and he other did n conclusion. prisoner was a most incorrigible pe rson, for ho had already been in prison for nine offen ces, i n addition to the two of which he had now bee n f ound guilty. He was too mischievous a person to remain at large, and in order to protect the public he should sentence him to seven years' penal servitude. MADAME TUSSAUD'S.—Among the novelties which are being constantly added to Mine. Tussaud'e Exhibition, in Baker-street, is a new is, portr a it model of the Prin ce I mper i a l. The likeness s, undoubtedly, most striking, and we feel assured the effigy will be highly appreciated by the numerous Frenehmeu who are daily visiting tho Exhibition. THE OAKS COLLIERT.—Grent iriterest is begin ning to be felt respecting the reopening of this mine, and numbers of people interested in the proceeding are con tinually visiting the neighbourhood of the colliery, anxious to glean authentic information as to when the excavators will take the pit. At noon on Tuesday it was stated that no spoil had been raised since Monday morning. The arch at the bottom of the shaft, which had been reached, extends nearly 100 yards in length, and from this the main levels and reachings branch off. The height of the arch is 80 feet. It is not at present intended to raise, but to make a temporary road from the top, and penetrating the arch by an incline. This temporary roadway is to be made secure for present purposes, and having fairly tapped the mine the various roadways are to bo sealed up before any search is to be made in the workings, so that those in charge will have perfect control of the mine. Mr. James Beaumont, who superintends the operation, and Mr. Nicholas descended the shaft on Tuesday, and on their return reported that all was going on satisfactorily but slowly. GUILDHALL. HARD SWEARING.--George Baxter, a tailor, was charged before Alderman Challis with assault and damaging pro party. Catherine Downing, the prosecutrix, said that she kept a cook shop at 15, Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, and prisoner was a lodger in the same house. On Saturday night, shortly after 11 o'clock, her servant knocked at the door. The prisoner said she should not be admitted, and when sho opened the door to let the ,Rervant in, 'the prisoner commenced abusing her, using the most disgusting lan guage. He put up his hand to her facv : and then jammed her arm between the door and the post. This evidence was corroborated by two witnesses. The prisoner gava a totally different version of what occurred, and stated that the witness threw dirty water over him, and -that Miss Downing abused hire azid his wife in the grossest manner. Ile called a tailor, who was staying in the house On Sa turday night, and his daughter, who swore most positt Yely that the statement of Miss Downing was totally unfound&, and that the language she used was most insulting. The magistrate fined the defendant lOs for damage, and 20s for the assault. MARLBOR ( MGII-STREET. ROBBERY AND REMORSE. SINGULAR CASE. - Ann M'Farlano, a well-dressed young woman, described as a servant, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a gold watch;chain, and locket, of the value of £B, the property of Mrs. Hannah Burden, lodging-house keeper, :No. 9, Farm-street, Berkeley-square. The prosecutrix stated that the prisoner came to live in her house three weeks ago, and on Tuesday morning went to look for a situation. About four o'clock the same after noon the prisoner returned home and went up stairs, and afterwards left the house, and she (prosecutrix) then missed her watch, chain, and locket, of the value of £B. Subsequently the police were communicated with, and on the prisoner being taken into custody she said she had pledged the property. The prisoner here burst into tears, and her feelings so overcame her that she was obliged to be led to a seat. Police-constable Alfred Burrows, 159 A, said that about one o'clock that morning ho was in Grosvenor-square, when the prisoner passed him twice, each time slackening her pace. Thinking the prisoner's conduct rather strange ho asked hor what she was about, and she then asked him if ho had heard anything of a young woman having stolen a watch. He told her that he had, and asked her if she had stolen anything, and she then said that she had stolen a watch where she had been residing, and pledged it in Duke-street, at the same time handing him the duplicate relating to the watch. While at the station the prisoner told him that she had been in prison at Liverpool. Mr. Knox said ho would remand the prisoner for a week, when the pawnbroker could attend, and in the meantime it could be ascertained by the police whether the prisoner had been convicted at Liverpool. THAMES. AUDACIOUS ROBBERY.—George Murphy, a youth appre hended this morning, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being concerned with a man named Kicks in stealing a till containing 10s. from the shop of Mr. Taylor, harness maker, in High-street, Shadwell. Kicks, who is a notorious thief, and against whom a previous conviction was proved, was committed for trial yesterday by Mr. Benson. Mr. Charles Stroud, & carman who was formerly in the police force, stated that he was seated at his own door, No. 23, Albert-street, Shads ell, at 9 o'clock in the even ing of the 20th inst., when he saw the prisoner and Kicks passing along the street. Kicks had a large till under his arm, and he said to Murphy, " Kop," which was a slang word for take it. Murphy took the cap from his head, held it, and Kicks emptied the contents of the till into it, and then threw the till on the ground. A portion of the money also fell on the ground. The two men ran away in different directions. Hs pur sued Kicks, who pulled off his coat, threw it on the ground, and then put his hands in his pockets and retraced his steps. Ho collared Kicks, who assumed great astonishment, and said, " What do you want with me ?" The prisoner Murphy escaped. Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, said that Mr. Benson remanded Kicks for a week, and the prisoner Murphy not being forthcoming Kicks was committed for trial. The till was identified by Mr. Taylor, who said it was stolen from his shop about 9 o'clock on the evening of the 20th. There was 10s. or more in the till when it was taken from the shop. The prisoner said that the witness Stroud was mistaken. He was not in Shadwoll on the night.uf the 20th of the present month. Ho was laid up with diarrhoea and in bed at the time. Police-sergeant Smith, No. 47 K, stated that the pri soner was picked out by Stroud in the station-house from eight others. Mr. Paget said he should remand the prisoner until Mr. Benson would again preside, and if the prisoner had any witnesses to prove an alibi he could then call them. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL ASSAULT. —Thomas Cillicot, a brick layer's labourer, of herculean frame, was brought up on a warrant, charged with the following outrageous assaults : Richard Stannett, a porter at the South Kensington Museum, said—l live at 78, Loader-street, and the pri soner lodged with me. 1 gave him warning to leave on the 24th, that was on the 17th. On the 2d my wife went for some beer, and as she was coming back with it he took the jug from her and drank some. She asked him for her jug, when he knocked her down. I wont to her assistance, whoa he beat me and kicked me about the legs. He swore ho would kick my inside out. Ile puched mo with his knee violently on the body. After this he attacked mo aga i n . My wife and I wore sitting together when he came up and burst the door open, and threw me down, and my wife called for assistance, and I was got away from him. Louisa Stannett, prosecutor's wife, said that prisoner, finding he had notice to quit, declared he would have a r ow. He took the pot away from her and drank the beer. Then he knocked her down in the street, and afterwards also assaulted her by knocking her down again when he broke into the room. Prisoner said the husband struck him first. Ile then went into a long story respecting his wife, which really appeared to have nothing whatever to do with the case. Prisoner was committed for six weeks to hard labour in the House of Correction, and ordered to find bail. M Altlikl TS. --This day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

THE "FREE TRADE SYSTEM" OF LICENSES.— What is called the free trade system of licenses has been again practically upset in Liverpool. On Tuesday, when the licensing session commenced, there were 94 applications for new licenses. Ten were granted, and of these three were for and in lieu of old licenses, the houses having been pulled down. The other seven were for restaurants to be closed at seven at night and shut on Sunday. Yesterday the magistrates did not grant a single license. INTERESTING DiscovEn Y. —While removing ono of the Surrey piers preparatory to the construction of the new Blackfriars-bridge, two foundation stones of black slate wore discovered by the workmen, One of them is evi dently a stone that was laid with all pomp and ceremonial, while the other and smaller one bund near it was as evi dently stowed away on the same day, but prior to the cere monial, by some master workman, who took this advantage of his opportunity to hand down his name to posterity. The clear cut inscription on the first says :—" On the 23d day of June, 1761, in the first year of the reign of King George 111., the first stone of this the first pier was laid by Sir Robert Ladbroke, Knt., and president of the Honourable Committee for carrying this bridge into execution. Robert Mylne, architect; Joseph Dixon, mason." The second stone says :—" On the 23d day of June, 1761, in the first year of the reign of King George 111., the first stone of this pier was laid by Joseph Dixon, mastoi to this bridge."

In 1865 the population of Paris was calculated at 1,863,000 ; of London, at 3,028,000; of Vienna, at 560,000; of New York, a year earlier, at 1,025,000. The annual ratio of increase per inhabitant, was in Paris, 0.02 ; in other words 100 inhabitants be came 102 in the course of the year ; in Lon don, 0.017 ; at Vienna, 0.016 ; and at New York, 0.05. The average number of inhabitants in a single house is, for Paris, 27, London 7, Vienna 51, and New York 14 ; so that Vienna is the most densely peopled town of the four. From these data it appears that the increase of population at New York is equal to that of the three other towns taken together—a circumstance owing, of course, to the stream of emigration constantly flowing in that direction. In 1790 the population of New York was 33,134, and it has since been fully four times doubled. With regard to the other towns, Doctor Vacher attributes their increase to the tendency of the country people to migrate to the large centres of population, for the - mere excess of births over deaths cannot account for this increase. Paris has doubled in the course of 32 years ; London in the course of 40, and Vienna in the course of 41. Yet the excess of births over deaths in Paris was only 41,934 from 1836 to 1856, while the increase of population during the same period was 305,908. In London, from 1841 to 1861, the excess of births over deaths was 328,189, the increase of population on the contrary was 926,026. We cannot follow Dr. Vacher auy further, but we may safely recom mend his work to the political economist as one of great research and much sound reasoning. 611IPPING INTELLIGENCE.—Th;s Day. -.0.--- LONDON, Aug. 29.- -WiuiT this day at noon—North- Westerly; moderate breeze and fine weather, but rather cloudy.
