IONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCR, 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 -ID-lid, 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 au interim dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. on the paid-up capital, for the half-year ending 30 th 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 £8,751 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 The sum of £134,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday, making a total efflux since the last Gazette return of £462,000.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 Groat western Railway Debentures have declined 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 : Great Weste rn ... ... 8 1867. 11680,144 80,0 . 57 North Western -.129,460 126,920 So h ut Western ... 28,485 28,761 Brighton ••• 26,118 23,996 ... 59,112 56,363 So uth Easter n 32,523 30,448 at Northern 45971 42398 L ancashire and Yorkshire ... 45, , 410 44, , 191 Bristol and Exeter ... 7,836 7,312 North E ... 77 059 76777 Ma nchester astern Sheffield, and Lincoln ... 21,849 21,362 °Ma *** t Easte rn 41 551 89,876 I°lloo ll, Chatham, and Dover 13 ' 794 11,853 lie tropolitan„ * *** 4 ' 240 4,037 North British *** 27 ' ' 740 27,873 North Loudon .., 5811 5,338 Great S outhern and Westernof Ireland... 10 , 099 10,717 Midland and Groat Western of Ireland 8,310 7,109 (11, Agovr and South Western ... 11,905 11,023 These returns, when compared with those of the c orresponding period of last year, are, with one or two exceptions, of a very favourable character. 01 1 the Great Western there is an increase of ; on the North-Western, of £2,540 ; on the Brighton, of £122 ; on the Midland, of £2,744 ; en the South-Eastern, of £2,075 ; on the Great Northern, of £3,573 ; on the Lancashire and Yorkshire, of £1,206 ; on the Bristol and Exeter, of £524 ; on the North-Eastern, of £282 ; on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, of £127 ; on the Great Eastern, of £1,675 ; and on the Lon don, Chatham, and Dover, of £1,941 ; while the So uth -Western shows a'decrease of £276, and the North British of £133. 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 has been sold at 598 d., 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 Is. 11/. on Calcutta and Madras, and tenders at Is. 114 d. 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- lolly having 24 years to run. The proposed rate of ex change is equal to a price of 103/ for the 6 per cents., and the operation will be effected by the de hverY of a Treasury Bill, with the final coupon attached, for a debenture of equal amount, bearing I▪ nterest from the 15th of December, 1867. It is understood that the Treasury Bills held in this c ountry, and falling due at the end of the present Y e ar, amount to about £400,000 ; but as the pro posed transaction will be merely t hat of substituting :- Ile security for another, representing the same th el° unt, no additi ona l cap i tal w i ll b e called for, and or ec ulY result will b e th a t o f l essen i ng th e li a bili ty tne colony to the extent of the difference between j t he two rates of interest allowed, or between eight a e d nine thousand a year.

The situation of politics abroad, the Abyssinian War, and many other gloomy contingencies, are de- Pressing securities of all kinds.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE F. D. B. ST. JOIIN-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, Gamey, and Co. Mr. Airidge, 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.) FORDIIAM 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. B uchanan —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 early on the company. His Honour—You have made a foolish bargain, and mast be bound by it. Mr. Buchanan—Cannot your Honour strike out the names of the defendants, and leave tho "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 ono appeared for either the defendants or he 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 conj unction 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 goods 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. 61, which ho (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 Lindsay, said that he remembered Mr. Meck 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. Levenstein called by himself in September. He 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 Levenstein 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.

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 afternoon by William Clowes, a police constable, No. 299 K, but no part of the stolen money was found upon him. The boy Appleton, who Lehaved 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 ont. 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. lle 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 till, 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. He 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 55., his sentence was altered to three months' imprigaiment and bard 'about 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 embezzlement. 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 recently 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 slid, 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 £5 108. 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, ora 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. MARKETS.--This day. METROPOLITAN CATTLTI. To-day's market was tolerably well supplied with beasts, which moved off slowly at barely Monday's currency. The highest quotation was 4s 10d por 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 81bs. 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 MARKET—This Day. The Market opens steadily with a good business. Sales probably 12,000 or 15,000 bales. THE CONTEMPLATED BATTLE FOR THE CHAM proNsiur.—This day Mace and Baldwin, accompanied by several of their adherents, met at Bell's Life in London office according to appointment, and after a rather stormy oontroversy, the parties are again to meet at the same place to-morrow morning, the stakeholder in the meantime to take a legal opinion as to whether, if the fight should come off in France, the sureties, who are bound over not to permit the affair to take place in her Majesty's domi nions, would bo responsible still. A vast crowd assembled in tho vicinity of the office anxious to ascertain the result of the meeting. Chief Baron Kelly has disposed by private con tract of his estate known as the Chauntry, near Ipswich; 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 Conligrade (18 Fahrenheit). Lord and Lady Egerton of Tatton arc enter taining a largo family circle at Tattoo Park, Cheshire. The party have assembled for the wedding of the lion. Miss Egerton and Mr. Reginald Cholmondeley, which is to take place to-day. TILE 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., bad been 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, Whitechapol, and a kind of official raid was, in consequence, levied upon the said promises on Tuesday i night, but the result was like the hundred and one 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. [ADVERTISEMENT. J—Holloway's Pills.—The extraordi nary range of temperature attending the early autumn is extremely trying to the delicate chests of the weak and nervous. All troubled by these afflictions should resolve to resort to this strengthening and regulating medicine immediately they perceive in themselves discomfort, ,or that feeling of restlessness which betokens disordered digestion and defective secretion of bile. One of Iloilo way's,pills, taken about noon, and following at bed-time by a dose sufficiently large to act ape, iently, will speedily recruit the faulty functions and restore order throughout the whole system. A treatment so safe in operation, and so successful in result, should be known and practised, when from cold and sundry other causes disease is at tempting to gain a YOUtti9tl§ footing. 98 99 98 100 106 108 109 110 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The speculation which took place on the Cam bridgeshire was in most instances a mere reflex of the prices accepted yesterday. There were, how ever, one or two changes.
