NONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCB, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for discount accommodation in the general market continues on a very restricted scale, and notwithstanding the reduction in the Bank rate there appears to be no improvement in the general course of trade. The rates current for the negotia tion of first-class commercial short-dated paper is 14 per cent. There were no gold operations of any importance at the Bank of England yesterday. The Mooltan, from Alexandria, has brought £81,786, and the City of London, from New York, £ 27 6,613. The steamers which left New York on Wednesday, for Europe, will bring £330,000. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are steady, at 28.30, and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds at 22i 23}. Monday next is appointed as a special settling day in the scrip of the Chilian 7 per Cent. Loan, 1866. At the meeting held to-day of the Scottish Aus tralian Investment Company the report for the half Year, to 31st December, 1866, in Australia, and to the 30th June last in London, was presented. It stated that the gross profits realised in the colony during the above period are £27,785 ss. 10d., of Which (as subsequently explained) £2,500 are placed in suspense. To the balance of £25,285 ss. 10d. has to be added the sum of £515 55., received in London for commission and transfer fees, &c., !baking a profit for the half year of £25,800 ? s • 10 d. The profits of the six months ending in the colony at 31st December last have been beyond the average of those of previous similar Periods ; and it has been considered judicious not to bring into account the full amount of them, but to Place £2,500 thereof to the credit of a suspense account, to be dealt with as may be most conducive to the interests of the company. The directors pro- Posed a dividend, payable on the 7th of August next, on the ordinarystock of the compay, £300,000, at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, less Income tar, which will require £15,000, and leave £137 17 8. Bd. to be carried to- the credit of the reserved fund, which will then amount to £8,155 3s. Bd. Rather more activity has been apparent in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. A good business has been reported .in sugar, and superior qualities have maintained full rates. Coffee has , be en in moderate request, and East Indian descrip tions have realised high prices. Tea and rice have been dull, while in tallow the operations have been to a moderate extent, at late rates for present and forward delivery.

The report of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company (Limited) has been issued, in anticipation c - the general meeting on the 2d of August next. It States that the net profits for the eleven months " d ing on the 30th June are more than sufficient to meet the sums of £125,000 and £25,000 payable to the company as a first charge upon the working of the two cables and the lines of the New York, ~..N ewf oundland, and London Telegraph Company. last charg e f or repa i r o f th e ca bl e d amage d i n M ay While, will amount to between £ll,OOO and £12,000 ; with respect to the accident which occurred a t e w days t ago, it is stated that immediate steps will taken o effect the necessary repairs.

Webster, a smart young man of about twenty-five years of age, was placed at the bar charged with highway robbery. The prosecutor, an elderly gentleman, named Woolf, said he resided in Bedford-square, and was on his way home last night about half-past nine o'clock. As he was turning from Oxford-streetinto Caroline-street he perceived three or four men evidently following him, but not think ing their object was highway robbery, ho walked rapidly forward, when all the prisoners quickened their pace. On arriving at the corner of Tavistock-street, the prisoner ran to defendant and his companion, and came suddenly up in front of him, his companions planting themselves on either side of him. The prisoner then made a seizure at his watch, and succeeded in tearing it from the hair guard, but before he could either got it to either of his com panion s or put it into his own pocket the prosecutor seized tho fellow and took the watch from his hand, upon which he (prisoner) made a desperate struggle, and eventually he broke from nis hold and ram away. The prosecutor, feeling determined that the prisoner should not ea ape, ran after him, when ono of the men. who had been standing aside, ran forward and tripped him (prosecutor) up. Before ho fell to the ground he struck out at the fellow, and the blow must must have been a good one, as, at the instant, he saw him stagger and fall to the ground. Prosecutor " jumped up in a second," and was in hot pursuit of the prisoner. He, finding prosecutor was gainingon him, turned round and quietly laid himself down on the pavement. The private constable, attracted to Hanway-street by the cry of " Stop thief," came up at the time, and on attempting to seize the prisoner, he jumped up and a desperate struggle ensued. It was not until the police-constable came up that they were enabled to convey the prisoner to the station-house. Iu answer to the magistrate, the prosecutor said his watch was a valuable one, and was worth over 50 guineas. Had the attempted robbery been successful, he should have been a serious loser a 5 in:tho breast pocket of his coat he had over £4,000 at the time. _ _ Tho prosecutor's evidence having been corroborated by the constables, The prisoner, on being asked what ho had to say in answer to the charge, denied that ho ever made any attempt to rob the gentleman. He was quite mistaken in his identity, and that he was quite unable to run at all. He was quite surprised when the constable came up to him as he was Vying on the ground, and charged him with stealing the gentleman's watch. The Magistrate said it was a most desperate attempt at highway robbery, and in the hope that the companions of the prisoner might be discovered he should remand him for a week MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A MONKEY TRAINER IN TROUBLE.—Antonio described as a trainer of aliimals, and who goes about with a performing monkey, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with suffering a ferocious monkey to attack and bito Francis Foley, a boy residing at 26, Berwick-street, St. James's. On the prisoner being placed at the bar, Inspector Har rison said the complainant was not in attendance. He had been to the court, but he (Inspector Harrison) believed had been taken away by some of the prisoner's friends. Police-constable Chard, 38 C, said that on going to Princes-street, Hanover-square, ho found the complainant bad been badly bitten on the hand. He took the boy to a chemist's, whore the wound was stopped up, and after wards to the Middlesex Hospital, where the wound was cauterised and sewn up, the complainant appearing to be in great pain. _ _ Mr. D'Eyncourt asked the prisoner how it was that he kept a monkey which bit people ? _ _ The prisoner said the boy was bitten by accident. The boy gave the monkey a halfpenny, and put it on the board, and the monkey, thinking he was taking the halfpenny off instead of putting it on, bit him. Ile was sorry the boy had been hurt. Barns, the gaoler, said the prisoner had told him that ho would pay any expenses incurred by tho boy, and compen sated him. Mr. D'Eyncourt dischargod tho prisonor, and ordered the monkey to bo given up to him. WESTMINSTER. PITIABLE CONDITION OF AN AGED MOTHER.— Mary God win, 46 years of age, was charged with robbing her mother. Prosecutrix, who is 80 years of ago, said that the pri soner, who is her daughter, had lived with her for the last three weeks. She was a married woman, whose hus band was now in prison for the fourth time. She had sold up her home, and now came and robbed her (the mother). She missed a collar and another article yesterday morning, and went to her ha, and told prisoner that she had not got the things there. At that time there was a piece of Llama cloth, which she bad to make into a dress for a lady, in the box, and she saw it in the prisoner's hand. Imme diately afterwards she missed it, and found the prisoner gone. Prisoner hero commenced a frightful tirade of abuse, charged her mother with a succession of crimes and con cluded with " And you old —, I'd sooner burn the cloth than you should have it again." Mr. Selfo—Well you are a nice daughter. Peter Smith, policeman, IG3 B, said he was called to take the prisoner into custody last night, and found her ying dead drunk. When she was aroused she rushed at her mother to strike her, and used the most disgusting language and frightful threats. Mr. Selfe—l am not at all surprised at what you say. The aged mother, who appeared to be a well-educated woman, complained very much of her daughter's disgrace ful conduct. Prisoner was remanded till Tuesday. As sho left the dock she excLinied, " You -, perhaps you'll bend Me down ray glasoo of the drawer. TIIE SUN, LONDON, Flil OA 17 EV ENING, JULY 26, 1867. The Late Emperor Maximilian. VIENNA, July 22. Subjoined is the last official report of Baron Ton Lago, the Austrian Charge at Mexico, written before the execution of the late Emperor. It is addressed to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and bears date— " City of Mexico, May 31. " Until yesterday evening we were in doubt here as to the fate that has overtaken the Emperor. While it was most positively asserted by the Libe rals that his Majesty was a prisoner in Queretaro the organs of the Government announced, on the contrary, that ' certain intelligence' had been re ceived that he would very shortly arrive with his army before the walls of the metropolis. Yesterday evening, however, Herr von Magnus, the Prussian Minister, received a telegram from the Emperor at Queretaro, which the Liberals had allowed to pass. It contained a request to come as speedily as possible to Queretaro with the advocates Mariano Itiva Pa lacio and Martinez della Torre, whom his Majesty had selected to conduct his defence, and to bring with him all documents that might be. necessary and serviceable. From this message and other positive news that arrived in the course of the evening we now know that Queretaro was really taken by assault (treachery) upon the morning of the 15th, and that his Majesty, with all his generals and troops, has fallen into the power of the enemy. I hear from a Liberal source that his Majesty is treated by the conquerors in the most respectful manner in his quality of Archduke of Austria. The Republican leader, Aureliano Rivera, by whom his Majesty was taken at the cerro de la campana, dismounted as he per ceived the Emperor, drew his sword, saluted with the utmost deference, and :declined to accept the offered sword of his imperial prisoner. lam informed that his Majesty was taken back, accompaniel by a band of music, to the Convent do la Cruz (his headquarters during the siege), and that the impe rial apartments, badly damaged during the last attack, were placed in as good repair as time would permit. Two of his adjutants were placed at the Emperor's service, and it is said that his Majesty has even been permitted to walk freely about Queretaro. The Emperor has presented General Riva Palacio, by whom the Cerro de la Cruz was taken in the night, with his horse and a costly Mexican saddle, &c.—a circumstance grate fully mentioned by that chief in a letter to his wife. I am told also that, by his remarkable amiability and frankness, the Emperor has gained the goodwill of the majority of the Liberal leaders assembled at Queretaro, and that his Majesty at once held out to them the prospect of the com munication of important documents. I understand his Majesty will shortly be broughtpefore a court martial, consisting of seven members. It is looked upon as a bad omen by Liberals here that he should be tried by a military court at Queretaro, instead, as was at first believed, of his being escorted to Guadalupe or Mexico, and placed before the National Congress. Several of the principal members of the party, however, expressed to me their conviction that his Majesty might perhaps be condemned as a matter of form, but that there was every reasonable prospect of his being immediately pardoned by Don Benito Juarez, and at once conducted to the frontier with the honours due to his high rank. 1 have been confidently in formed, from a reliable source, that after capture his Majesty stated that, foreseeing such a misfortune, he had already abdicated in that event, and that the record of the fact was in the hands of the President of State Council and ex-Minister Lacunza at Mexico. The latter, however, is said to deny the possession of the document. Owing to lack of time I have hitherto been prevented from learning any- thing certain in the matter. " With regard to the two advocates selected by the Emperor, the choice of Licentiate Riva Palacio (father of the general, and like him a man of liberal opinions) is considered very happy both for political and prudential reasons. Martinez della Torre also bears the reputation of a very talented jurist, and is said to be an eloquent speaker. On the other hand, it is thought that, owing to his practical ante tecedents and versatility, he may not be favourably regarded in the Liberal camp. Herr von Magnus, the Prussian Minister, to whom the Emperor's' telegram was addressed, has often been consulted by his Majesty in important affairs of State, owing to his former special intimacy with Father Fischer, the Emperor's private secretary. It was he, in par ticular, who, by his advice in conjunction with General Marquez, Father Fischer, Minister Lacunza, and many others, persuaded his Majesty to remain in Mexico after the departure of the French. llerr von Magnus was also the only one among his col leagues who advocated the Emperor's expedition to Queretaro. These antecedents, coupled with the fact that of all the embassies here the Prussian mission is unquestionably that least compromised in a political point of view, probably induced his Majesty to honour Herr von Magnus with the important charge above alluded to, although under other circumstances such a passing over of the Aus- trian Embassy would have been an affront to the latter; yet in the interest of his Majesty's cause and person I cannot, in the present state of affairs, com plain in the slighest of any disregard, and only trust that Herr von Magnus may find himself in a position to justify to the fullest extent the confi dence placed him. As I have entertained no doubt for some time past of his Majesty's imprisonment, I determined several days ago to leave Mexico, and, if possible, to repair to Queretaro, there to place my humble personal services--in so far as I might be permitted—most respectfully at the disposal of my gracious Sovereign's brother. Three days ago I obtained, not without difficulty, the necessary permits to pass Garita, and intended to have left this morning. In consequence of the above mentioned telegram, however, I thought fit to delay my departure for a day, which I have devoted to collecting the abo ve d eta il s. I s h a ll try to leave Mexico to-morrow afternoon, although the attempt cannot be made without danger, as both parties often fire indiscriminately upon those entering and leaving, and neither horses nor carriages are suf fered to quit the city. Still, as a very influential Liberal with whom I am acquainted travels with me, I hope through his intervention with General Porfirio Diaz, notwithstanding the small recom mendation of my quality as Austrian representa tive, to obtain the necessary passport via Toluca for Queretaro, where we might arrive in three or four days. As after breaking off diplomatic relations with the Government of the Imperial Lugarteniente in Mexico, the Austrian Embassy has no official business to transact, and is also not even in a position to offer Austrian subjects any protec tion whatever, I shall not hesitate, after having provided for the safety of the archives, to take attache llerr von Tavora with me to Quei etaro, where I:foresee I shall greatly need his assistance. It might also be requisite to despatch him as courier to Mexico, or perhaps Puebla. Up on arr i v ing in Queretaro I shall immediately endeavour to present myself without delay to the Emperor, in order to receive any instructions he may have to give. I do not know how it will be possible to get my ordinary reports forwarded to Vera Cruz, but I am told that the Liberals will lay no obstacles in the way of transmitting corre spondence referring to his Majesty's trial. I shall place myself in the closest relations with Herr von Magnus and the Imperial defenders, and need not assure your excellency that I shall make every effort consistent with my feeble powers to be in every re spect useful to his Majesty. I shall take with me very considerable pecuniary means, to be used in certain cases. M. Dano, the French Ambassador, who now begins to be very anxious respecting the position of the French Embassy, in case the Liberal forces should enter, and who would scarcely be able to leave the city unmolested, sends with us the former French Consul at Mazatlan, at present here. The Spanish Ambassador, Marquis de la Ribera, who some days ago demanded his pass ports on account of illegal withdrawal of the Spa nish Consul's exequatur, and quitted Mexico, will probably also shortly repair Nip his diplo matic staff to Queretaro, if indeed he has not already arrived here. Before closing nay despatch, I hear that it is not settled whether the Emperor shall not be tried by the Supreme Tribunal, instead of the above-mentioned court-martial. This might be considered as a very favourable eventuality for his Majesty, only the proceedings of the tri bunal, according to its ordinary practice, might • then last several months, while I am assured that in the former case a conclusion might be at- , tained in two or three weeks. General Marquez seems, notwithstanding the now positive news from Queretaro, not ill-disposed to continue de fending the metropolis, as l►e knows that in case of defeat he himself has no mercy to expect', from the conquerors. Ile might therefore pos sibly even risk a storm, hoping, in true Mexican fashion, to make his esc ipe in the confusion of battle—an expedient this time hardly likely to suc ceed. General Tavera, the commandant of the city, a very honourable gentleman, seems, how ever, only anxious to avoid useless bloodshed ; and as a positive famine already prevails among th , 2 poorer classes (bread, meat, and fuel having dis appeared) is inclined to surrender. Elements of discord among the garrison will also speedily ap pear. I have advised the Austrian officers, in their own interest and that of their troops, to stand by General Tavera should the necessity arise, and this the rather because prolonged resistance might even be injurious to his Majesty. They seem deter mined never to allow themselves to be de graded into a body-guard for General Mar quez. Their chief desire is to receive a direct order from the Emperor releasing them from their duty. In the event of my prolonged ab sence from Mexico I shall take care that your ex cellency receives direct news from here through one of the German consulates.—Receive, " LAM. " P.S.-31st, Evening. A letter from a German merchant at Queretaro has just arrived containing an order given him secretly by his Majesty that should at once repair thither. I was informed at the same time that his Majesty had been brought before a court-martial, only presided over by a colonel. It is therefore the highest time that we and the defenders selected by the Emperor himself should leave for our destination, and yet the greatest difficulties are placed in the way of our departure by the Emperor's Lugarteniente and other imperial generals. I still hope, however, to leave Mexico early to-morrow.—As above, " LAGo." NOTES FROM TRAINING QUARTERS RICHMOND. Tuesday was close and warm, after a deal of rain. Elliott's head boy was out with a dozen, all cantering, except Rd Tub ; the Berezina filly then led Gleaner, Drofenraw, the colt by Oulston, and the Colsterdale filly the length of the moor, as fast as they could go. Toni Lund had his ordinary lot out doing strong work, looking big and well. Jacob Watson sent Olmar two miles, at a good sweating pace; Proctor led Buttercup a mile ; Strathconan went two miles gently, and Elvire a mile steadily. Circe and Plaudit only cantered, the latter appear ing very dicky on his pins. Virtue, Tutela, Lais, and Bob Chambers were sent a good mile gallop ; while Louisa went a mile gently. John Coates had five of his lordship's out. dEthon led " the giant" three times the length of the moor, Mr. Thompson again up. Hermosa led Molinara similar work to that of the other two. El Cid was walking about, looking very well after being out. Neither Rivera tor nor Bumblekite was out. MIDDLEHAM.

Peck and I'Anson had their respective teams out, and they both repeated the quiet work of the previous day. John Scott was particularly attentive to his Goodwood horses ; he first cantered the trio a mile- and a quarter, and then Westwick led Taraban, War, and Klarinska a couple of nice spins aboat a mile and a half each, at nearly three-parts speed, the four moving along first rate. ILSL EY. Most :of the horses were out upon Tuesday as usual, with the exception of Aggravator, who was still absent. Most of the teams went through about the same amount of work as en the previous day. LAMBOURNE. On Tuesday the Russley team took their usual canters, after which the majority galloped. Brother to Wild Charley led the filly out . of Lady Lurewell a good sweat, and Mirella led Sister to Scottish Chief, Sunflower filly, Malcolm filly, Summertime, and half-sister to Student a rattling gallop a little over two miles. Catherine Hayes filly (3 Yrs)) galloped a mile at a steady pace, and Brother to Wild Charley and Glenderg went a good gallop of three-quarters of a mile. FINDON. On Tuesday the horses from Findon and Michell Grove came out soon after three, and at once went to the Lea Farm Bottom. The morning lot com prised Longdown, Thalia, Ulphus, Queen of the Isles, Signet, Gipsy Queen, Sister to Vedette, Fore sight, Gilead, Owain Glyndwr, Ganymede, Fal-lal, Miller's Maid, Icicle, Miss Martha, Miss Eleanor, llerennianus, Madrid, Gilbert Harnam, Sir David Gam, &c., all of whom did a similar amount of work to what they did yesterday, except that Owain Glyndwr this morning did his work alone, and, after a canter of a mile, had two gallops of two miles by himself. He walked for half an hour be tween his canter and his first gallop, and an hour betwixt his first and second. As far as I can judge the horse goes well, and he looks the picture of health• and condition, being without an ounce of superfluous flesh. STOCKBRIDGE. Wednesday morning was delightful. After walk . ing and cantering three-quarters of a Mile", Reddap led the following colts a good gallop of nearly a mile :—Belfast, Birdseeker, Herald, Cheddington, and Aquilla, Roe filly and Papillon following. Ischia led Seville, Ines, Lady Rose, Red Riband, and Caucasus a mile and a half at a good pace, the grey and Miss Havelock going the same distance. Gomera led Vauban a good striding gallop of two miles, both going first-class. Viridis galloped about a mile and a half by herself. NEWMARKET. On Tuesday and Wednesday there was very little going forward in the training department at head quarters, everybody being at Huntingdon ; the horses left at home doing little beyond healthy exercise. Hermit was at his usual steady work with other of his stable companions. Guy of Warwick each day went a long steady gallop ; also Miss Harriette, the colt by Toxopholite, dam by Gamcboy, and Verulam.—Sportsman. ST. GEORGE'S C IIAPEL.—The Dean and Chapter of St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, are completing the renovation of the exterior of the cathedral. The bmualuch s trade on the top of the north walls, which was weather-worn, has been replaced with now carved stone work, and the mason s are now preparing to renew the upper balustrading on the south walls.

ASCENT OF MR. COXWELL AT COLNEY HATCH.— A gala in the ground attached to the Railway Hotel in this neighbourhood took place on Tuesday last; when Mr. Coxwell ascended in his new and magnificent balloon of 18,000 cubic feet contents. The wind was so high that it was blown about fearfully during the inflation, but its make and form enabled it to resist the gusts, so that at 7 o'clock Mr. Coxwell and his assistant ascended, and got safely to terra firma in Sir Henry Meux's park just before a drench ing §,torul c0,w.0 on, SPORTING INTELLIGENOE—Thia Day. VICTORIA CLUB BETTING. A fair muster present, and speculation moderately brisk. Several books were open on the Stewards' Cup, the horses as undermentioned each finding support. There was, however, no appearance of any genuine commission, tho investments being merely to nominal sums. Jezabel was firm for the Goodwood Stakes, for - which event Guy of Warwick slightly re trograded. The most noticeable feature was a strong disposition to back Lucifer, who reached 13 to 1, while Vidi was also freely invested on, 1 ; 000 to 40 being booked twice, besides other minor semi. 2 to 1 was offered on the field for the Cup, for which, despite Lec turer's recent defeat, ho was alone in request.

The man John Wiggins, who is at present in the London Hospital under the surveillance of the police, is now out of danger, but Mr. Dove, the surgeon who has him under his care, will not allow him to be closely questioned, for fear lest he might become excited, and retard his speedy recovery. He has become somewhat weak in consequence of the loss of blood which he sustained on the morning of the occurrence. Ile has made several statements, and although they have all been care fully noted, some of them do not correspond in detail, and should he tender himself as a witness he will be subjected to I very searching examination. He is not sufficiently well enough at present to leave, and we may state that if he were, in the pre sent stage of the whole affair, he would be asked to explain the circumstances to a magistrate. He is a man of about 35 years of age, and he made the acquaintance of the deceased woman when she was 20. The little sister of the deceased says that her name is lloakes, not Floakes ; but, as the girl is unable to read or write, it is thought that the exact name will never be known unless some of the relations come forward. She has two married sisters living at Newcastle, and it is said that the family were always considered respectable. The little girl states that when her father'deserted her self and her sister he took away from them their little brothers, and for some time ho sent an old woman 4s. a week to take care of them. They were never able to discover his whereabouts. The police have procured what is considered im portant evidence, with regard to a quarrel which took place some time last week between Wiggins and the deceased. The scene on the morning of the occurrence was a most exciting one. Wiggins kept running up and down the street brandishing the knife, which was covered with blood, shouting out, " This is the knife she cut my throat with." He then went to a cousin's house and awoke him up to show him the knife. London, Brighton, and South-Coast Railway. THIS DAY. A n extraordinary or special general meeting of this company was held at the International Hotel, Southwark, this afternoon ; Mr. S. Laing, M.P., in the chair. The object of the meeting was to authorise the board to issue, as ordinary shares or stock, the whole or any part of the shares or stock created under the powers of "The London, Brighton, and South-Coast Railway (Capital and Powers) Act, 1866," and also to attach to the whole or any part of the preferential shares or stock created but not issued under the powers of the said Act, and to attach to these preferential shares any dividend, whet h er exceeding 5 per cent. or not, which tho board may from time to time deem expedient. The CHAIRMAN said that in a circular lately issues they would see what was the object of this meeting. They had hanging over them a debt of upwards of .1700,000, and it was only with the greatest diffi culty that the present board could keep the company solvent. No sufficient provision had been made even to pay off the debenture interest due July 15 last, and judgments for small sums had been obtained, and execution in one instance actually issued. Under these circumstances the new board addressed themselves to relieve them of this debt, and through the Union Bank they met the most pre:sing of the small debts, and the floating debt had been reduced by £600,000. It then remained to raise the requi site capital to deal with the arrears and remaining liabilities for works recently finished, suspended, or iu progress. A total amount of £1,500,000 would suffice to accomplish this; of which £500,000 would be provided by the spare lands and accruing deben ture powers, leaving about £1,000,000 to be raised by shares, of which not above £500,000 or £600,000 will be required for twelve months. The board decided on raising this amount by an issue of ordi nary stock at a discount, and they had succeeded in convincing Lord Redesdale and the House of Lords that this was requisite, there was no difficulty in the House of Parliament, and he was glad to say that the Royal assent was given to a Bill enabling them to carry out this intention. He would therefore propose that powers should be given to create the remaining unappropriated stock as ordinary stock, and immediately after the new stock they should issue so much of it as would be requisite for the wants of the year. It would be issued at £45, £lO to be paid on 16th August, /15 on the Ith September,the 16th November, and £ 6 lO on the 16th December. He thought that this was the fairest course to pur sue, as it would enable gentlemen to save their pro perty from ruin, and give it them at £5 less than the market rate. Mr. SAMUDA moved that the meeting bo ad journed for a month. (The meeting was not concluded when we went to press.) RACING FIXTI [RES FOR 1867. 30 Gaodirood ...............
