MONEY MARKET .4 ND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return completed to the 10th of July, shows some important changes. The Stock of bullion has been diminished by considerably over a quarter of a million sterling, owing to the circulation of coin in the provinces, and the remit tances of gold to America. The reserve of notes has been lessened to about a like amount. The public deposits through the payment of the half yearly dividend have been reduced by about four millions sterling, and there is consequently a large addition to the private balances. In the Other Securities a decrease of about a million and a half is apparent, owing to the repayment of loans upon stock, and in the Government Securities there is also a considerable decrease. The other items of the balance-sheet, and the changes they present, are shown in the subjoined table : Active Circulation .. • • .. £20,157,495 Increase .. .. • • • • 94,415 Stock of Bullion .. .• • • 11,674,229 Decrease .. • • • . • • 397,473 Rest .. .• • • • • • • 3,344,194 Increase .. • • • • • • 36,879 Public Deposits .. • . • • 3,255,613 Decrease .. 4,036,231 Other Deposits 13,914,598 Increase .. • • .. 1,822,116 Seven Day and other Bills .. 616,192 Decrease 4,721 Government Securities .. 9,616,202 Decrease .. 361,000 Other Securities 19,900,591 Decrease .. .. 1,501,069 Notes unemployed 5,263,940 Decrease 369,890 A further sum of £40,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday.

FIRE AT CAMDEN-TOWN. —Last evening a fire broke out in the workshop of Mr. Stubbs, pianoforte-maker, In Glocester-street, Camden-town, where there was a large stock of pianos and furniture. It spread rapidly into the adjoining shop, occupied by Mr. Dunn, a greengrocer. In a quarter of an hour both houses were in flames. The engine of the parish and six engines belonging to the Lon don Brigade were soon in attendance, but, in the absence of a tur . ncock, not a d r op o f wa t er was to be had for so me time, and indeed not until Martin, a fireman, succeede d in draw lag the pl ugs.

The further dividend will be officially announced in a few days. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE BITLIAMORE. This bankrupt was described as of Peterborough, baker and grocer, and now applied for his certificate. He had been in business for 28 years, and the unsecured debts amount to £5OO. An offer had been made under the Private Arrange ment Act, by which it was supposed the creditors would eventually have been paid in full, but they would not con sent to the terms. The solicitor to the assignees said they did not oppose the bankrupt having a certificate, but not one of the first class.

A SCENE IN THE HAYMARKET.-Mr. Charles Barnes, of 17, Albert-terrace, Islington, Mr. John Griffiths, medi cal student, same address, and Clara Norton, prostitute, of 90, Wardour-street, were charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance in the Haymarket, and Barnes was further charged with assaulting James Newnham, 69 C. Matthew Hill, 126 C, said—About 4 o'clock this morning I saw a crowd of about 50 persons in the Haymarket, and heard the two male defendants making a great noise and flourishing their sticks about. They refused to leave, called me "a snob," and Griffiths said he was a member of Parliament. I took Griffiths into custody, and then Barnes came up and seized me by the collar. 96 C then came to my assistance, and Barnes struck him with his stick. They then took the male defendants into custody, and on the road Barnes became very obstreperous, and it required two or three constables to take them to the station. On the way, while 96 C was picking up Barnes, the female came up and knocked off his hat. Barnes—Was I drunk ? Constable—Yes: Newnham, 96 C, said—l tried to get Griffiths away, and he said, " Don't you know I am a member of Parliament, and don't care for such as you." Barnes then came up, and putting himself into a fighting attitude, said, " You take me ?" I then took Barnes, when he threw himself d own and seized the iron railings. Barnes then struck me, and I took the stick from him. While I was picking up Barnes the female tried to knock my hat off, that being a common thing of a night in rows in the Haymarket, and having got ccnstables' hats off, the mob kick them about. Griffiths—l did not say I Was a member of Parliament; I only said I knew one. Barnes—We had no business to be taken into custody. Inspector Bowles—The men were both drunk. Barnes—l don't want to say anything further. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined Barnes the insignificant sum of ss. or nine days, and discharged he others. Mr. Francis Henry Harrison, of 25, Clarges-street, was also charged with creating a disturbance and being drunk in Piccadilly. _ . Sergeant Horsey, 6 C, having stated the case, Mr. Tyr whitt discharged the defendant, THIS DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was much restricted. Fine samples moved off steadily, at full quotations ; otherwise the trade was in a sluggish state, at previous currencies. _ We were well supplied with foreign wheat. In most de scriptions a fair but far from extensive business was trans acted, at Monday's prices. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request. In their value no change took place. All kinds of barley were a dull sale, at barely late rates. The transactions in mal; were very moderate, yet prices ruled tolerably firm. Fine samples of oats maintained their value ; but inferior qualities were very dull. Both beans and peas moved off slowly, at drooping prices, Good and fine flour was it fair request, at full quotations. Other kinds, however, ruled dull. ARRIVALS FRIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

This morning, shortly before 12 o'clock, the greatest con sternation was occasioned in Northumberland - stree t, Strand, at the hearing the report of pistols, and a loud out • cry on the first floor, No. 1, Northumberland-street, occu pied by a Mr. Roberts, an army agent, and who, it after wards appeared, had fired two ',pistols at a Major Murray, who was in his office at the time and inflicted two bullet wounds in the neck. Major Murray, although thus wounded, finding that Mr. Roberts had locked the door, and was in possession of an other pistol, seized the poker and tongs, and commenced a fierce onslaught on his attempted murderer, inflicting the most fearful blows over the head and face, so as to tho roughly disarm him and render him insensible. A man mimed Pomfret first raised the cry of murder; and Mr. Ransom, who occupies offices in the same house, saw Major Murray make his escape from the back yard win dow into the yard, and as he was bleeding profusely from the wounds in the neck and forehead, he at once led him off to Charing-cross Hospital. In the meantime information was conveyed to the Police-station, Scotland-yard, where a number of policemen rushed to the house, and on going up stairs they found the door locked, and they could obtain no answer. A ladder was procured, and entering the room from the back window, they found it in the most frightful state of confusion, and the floor covered with blood, and in the corner near the door they discovered Mr. Roberts in a crouching position, bleeding profusely from numerous wounds in the head and face, they being fairly smashed, and on the floor they found the two pistols, one of which had recently been discharged. Mr. Roberts was immediately raised up by !the police, a cab sent for, and conveyed to Charing-cross Hospital, where Major Murray had previously arrived ; they were both placed under the care of Mr. Skegg, the house surgeon, and assis tants, when their wounds were found to be of the most fearful and dangerous character; but from the short time that elapsed since the dreadful occurrence, it was impossible to learn the exact nature of the injuries, and for the same reason it is not possible to obtain any reliable infor mation as to the cause of Mr. Roberts attempting the life of Major Murray, further than that Major Mur • ray, who is the brother of Captain Murray, of 35, Stan ley-street, states that there were pecuniary transactions between them, and that shortly before he met Mr. Roberts who invited him to his office, and an angry altercation took place between them, when Major Murray suddenly saw Mr. Roberts take up the pistol and fire it, finding him self wounded, he then in self-defence commenced the attack on Mr. Roberts with the poker. Both parties are in charge of the police at the Charing-cross Hospital, and no hope is entertained of the recovery of Mr. Roberts. ARMY PROMOTION. " Time works wonders," they say—but nowhere so frequently as at the Horse Guards. Let but a Sear or two elapse, and you may possibly see an officer who barely escaped being tried by court martial, not only purged of his offence, but pro moted and rewarded. The public have scarcely re covered from their surprise at the colonelcy be stowed upon General Eden, when they are startled by the intelligence that General Windham, of Cawnpore fame, has been rewarded with a Colonel's allowance for life. It is difficult to believe that the War Minister can seriously approve of these Horse Guards' extravagancies. It is rather to be feared that circumstances hardly permit the Minister to exercise that control over a headstrong military clique which is so imperatively needed. No one, surely, has yet forgotten the siege of Lucknow. For months the gallant band of English, men and women, had been shut up in that beleaguered town. Early in the war Sir Henry Lawrence had perished, and even Havelock and Neil had only succeeded in entering the gates to be shut up without the possnility of delivering either themselves or those whom they came to rescue. It was a terrible trial to those who had friends and relatives within those frail defences. But at length the news came that Sir Colin Campbell was advancing to their relief. With the utmost anxiety and the utmost promptitude every available man had been collected, for the enterprise was full of hazard. It was lot simply to relieve a mere garrison of soldiers, but to bring back in safety through a crowded city and a country swarming with an armed host of Indians, a great company of women and children. Now, there was one thing upon which the success of the whole depended. Sir Colin might succeed in penetrating into Lucknow—he might succeed in bringing out every woman and child alive—he might even succeed in protecting the long line of march, cumbered with helpless creatures, from the surrounding hosts until he reached the bridge of Cawnpore. But unless that bridge was held in per fect safety—unless when he reached it the means of crossing the river were secure, so that he might place his precious charge in safety within the lines of Cawnpore—all his elaborate preparations, all the promptitude of his officers and the gallant endurance of his men, would be utterly useless. To secure Cawnpore, therefore, and the bridge across the river from the attacks of the rebels, was the vital point, it was a service of the utmost moment. But the task was comparatively easy. All that the officer left in charge had to do was to remain upon the defensive, to repel any attack that might be made upon him, but to risk nothing—to keep stea dily within his entrenchments. The officer selected to hold Cawnpore was Major-General Windham, whose conduct at the Redan, although it had occa sioned a lively controversy, certainly greatly con tributed to place him in Parliament, and to procure for him a command in the East. His orders were distinct to maintain his position—to keep the bridge safe, and to await the return of Sir Colin. But this did not suit the spirit of Gen. Windham. He would go forth to meet the enemy. But instead of success, he was compelled to fall back within his entrenchments —his men became demoralised, the communication across the river was in peril, and had it not been for the opportune presence and activity of Sir Colin, the whole army, with all the women and children under their protection, might have been driven into the river and drowned. At the critical moment when the gallant old Scotchman had all but succeeded in his perilous task, the mis guided activity of a subordinate almost robbed him of success. :History does not report what passed between the Commander-in Chief and Gen. Wind ham when they met on that anxious night. But from that moment until the end of the Indian cam• paign we do not remember that Gen. Windham ever took part in any active operations. He was sent away to take the command of a district where everything was comparatively quiet. The salary of £4,000 was hardly enough to satisfy a soldier's pride, but assuredly it was more than enough to satisfy the claims of General Windham. If at the moment of this failure it had been proposed to confer upon him a regiment, even the House of Commons of these degenerate days would have interposed to cancel so gross an appointment. At that time, therefore, nothing more was at tempted than an indignant protest from the Duke of Cambridge in behalf of an absent officer, and soon after an elaborate defence by an artillery officer who took part in the Cawnpore disaster. But " time works wonders ;" years have passed ; the story has been partly forgotten. The General, we shall now be told, behaved with the utmost gallantry in the affair of Cawnpore, and since that time he has of course exercised his command to the perfect satisfaction of his superior officers. In addi tion to all this, we shall be told that accor ding to the Horse Guards' regulations he is next on the com list for a regiment, and as he must soon vacate hi a mend in India, the only thing towbiendloonsee is by to m th a o k se e up the emoluments which he atteched to a colonelcy. S n u is c t h er a a r n gu d m th en e t c s Comm and o n a d i :r u - b i n t - p C r h e Te l f f t e T r h h g il. e War Mi proved, as of course , the y easily may prove, that the rules of the servi ce, made for the benefit of such men as General Eden and General Windham, have been strictly followed, may possibly wax indignant at the idea of being supposed capable of doing an injustice to the Generl in order to avoid the abuse of acrid political fanatics. But clear-sighted people will readily perceive that sinecure colonelcies were intended as rewards for those who aor h nd a es v e made them selves notorious, not by failure, but by success. And the appointment of General Windham, like the appointment of General Eden, f of the incapacity of the Horse military patronage.—Daily N ews .

The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Sir John Simeon's (Leasing) Estate, Stockton and Darlington Railway (Capital), Leven and East of life Railways (Extension, &c.), South Wales Mineral Railway, East ;Suffolk Railway, and Conway and Lien rwst. STANDING ORDERS. Lord REDESDALE, in pursuance of the notice which he had given, moved the following amendment to the standing order 185, formerly 223 :—" That no provision authorising any company to raise money or to subscribe towards or to guarantee any money in the undertaking o f another company shall be introduceday into authorisedan y to raise b i l w h i c h is money,not brought to by subscribe,in the or t oc o g r arantee, or of w hi c h suc h p company is not a joint promoter with the other company, and shall have been named as such in all the notices re quired by the standing orders prior to the introduction of the bill to Parliament. He contended that the alteration which he proposed would facilitate the progress of private business. Lord PORTMAN moved as amendment to the preced ing motion, " That when in any bill a provision is inserted authorising a company to subscribe towards, or to guaran tee or to raise any money in aid of the undertaking of any other company, which bill is not brought in by the company so authorised, proof shall be required before the examiner whether the company so authorised has any bill before Parliament in which such a proviso could be inserted. In the event of there being such a bill before Parliament, the ,examiner shall report the name or short title of such bill to the house ; in the event cf their being no such bill before Parliament, the examiner shall report whether proof has been given that the company so authorised has consented to such subscription guarantee or raising of money at a meeting of the proprietors of such company held spe cially fcr that purpose, and that such provisions were approved of by the proprietors of the ordinary shares of the company present in person or by proxy, holding at least three-fourths of the paid up capital of the company represented at such meeting, the said proprietors being qualified to vote at the meeting in right of such capital only ; in case no such proof has been given, no such bill shall proceed with out the special order of the house. After some discussion, Earl GRANVILLE suggested that it would be advisable to refer the subject to a select committee. Lord REDESDALE replied, and said that he had no objection to accede to the proposition of the noble lord in referring the subject to a select committee. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tms DAY.)

Upon clause 9, which provides that parochial school masters should not be required to sign a confession of faith, but should make a declaration that they would not incul cate opinions opposed to the Scriptures, or to the Shorter Catechism of 1648, Mr. HADFIELD oppmed the clause, on the ground that it enforced an unnecessary test. Upon a division, the numbers were— For the clause Against it Majority —36 The clause was then added to the bill. Ou clause 10, which transfers the jurisdiction of the Presbyterians to the Sheriff in cases where charges of im moral conduct or cruelty are preferred against a school- master, Mr. DUNPOP objected to the provision in the clause that the complaints of the schoolmaster to the Sheriff should proceed from the Presbytery, and proposed in all cases it should be presented to them by the heritors, ministers, or riders. The• LORD ADVOCATE could not consent to the amendment. He admitted that the Presbytery did not form a convenient body to sit in trial upon a schoolmaster, but there was nothing objectionable in giving the power to complain to the Sheriff of immoral conduct, cruelty, or ne glect of duty. Mr. BLACK said the position of the schoolmasters was very unfortunate. After a short discussion the amendment was withdrawn, the Lord Advonte having suggested an alteration of the clause limiting the time to three months for which any schoolmaster might be suspended . The next amendment to the same clause was then taken into consideration. The remaining clauses were agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be reported. IRREMOVABLE POOR BILL. The committee resumed the consideration of this bill, and the provisions moved on a previous occasion by Sir J. Pakington to be added to clause 9—" Provided also that extra parochial places which have heretofore paid no con tributions to the common fund of the unions in which they are comprised shall notwithstanding anything herein con tained, be hereinafter exempt from such contributions. Mr. HENLEY moved that the chairman report progress. Mr. VILLIERS and Sir G. GREY resisted the motion. After some conversation the committee divided—.
