MONEY MARKET AND COMMER.CIAL INTELLIGENCE.. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, without any alteration in prices from last Friday. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, including 1,000 on speculation and for export. In the Railway Share Market there was no alteration of importance in prices. From the manufacturing districts the accounts respecting trade are generally encouraging, busi ness having improved in consequence of the fine weather. At Manchester there is a good inquiry for the Levant, but for India and China the buyers operate very cautiously. On American account the transactions are numerous, and the general con dition of business is considered very healthy. The woollen markets appear rather heavy, in couse- sequence of the augmented supply of the raw material, and the comparatively low prices realised at the public sales in London. Ad vices from Galatz, and other grain markets on the Danube, have been received to the 25th July. U p —to that date the export trade was active, and the sudden reduction of prices in Western Europe had had no effect, consequently there were still large thipments of grain to Marseilles, and other ports in the Mediterranean. The stocks of wheat on hand had been considerably reduced, and speculators were sending off maize and barley in large quantities. A contract for 35,000 quarters of barley, for delivery in September, was closed at the rate of 12s. Gd. to 13s. per quarter. Rye, after being in demand for shipment to Marseilles, was heavy at 255. per quarter. Accounts from the agricultural districts report less damage to the wheat crops by the recent heavy rains than was at first supposed ; and it was stated that the quality of the grain would not suffer in any degree. The following are the ruling prices of grain :—Galatz Ist quality wheat, 445. 111 to 475. 10d. per quarter, and 2d ditto from 30s. 2d. to 395. 9d. per ditto. Braila wheat, Ist quality, 445. 11d. to 48s. 2d., and 2d ditto from 31s. 6d. to 40s. sd. per quarter. Freights were firm at lls. to 11s. Gd. per quarter for England, and the rate of exchange on London at 941. In consequence of the recent tempestuous weather in the Black Sea, the bar at the Salina mouth had only 91 feet water upon it, but it was soon cleared by the dredging machine to 10 and 11 feet, and would shortly reach 111 and 12 feet. The advices by the steamer Fulton from New York report increased activity in the Stock Market there, produced, however, by a disposition to press sales. The consequence was a retrograde move ment in prices, in which Railway Shares as well as State Stocks participated. The Bank of England return, completed for the week ending the 2d inst., shows that the demand for money had increased, probably in consequence of the commercial engagements which had as usual to be met on the " fourth " of the month. The other items of the balance sheet, excepting Govern ment Securities, which were reduced by a million and a quarter sterling, exhibit scarcely any change of importance ; but there was a slight increase in the bullion, and a contrary movement in the reserve of notes.

A rather large speculative business has been transacted this morning in the market for English Securities, but a preponderance of sales has pro duced increased weakness. Consols opened at 95f g for account, and after declining to 95,11, they have since recovered to the former point. For money they have been 94Z to 95, and since 95 to 95k. The New 3 per Cents. are 95Z to 96, and the Re duced 95f g. Exchequer Bills have declined to Bs. and 10s. prem., and the Bonds are nag 0. The Foreign Market has been very dull. Turk ish 6 per Cents. have been steady at 103-k / A. Russian 5 per Cents. are marked 112, Mexican 22,1 Buenos Ayres 84, Equador New Consoli dated 14, and Peruvian Dollar Bonds 60.

Railway shares, although rather lower, have been fairly supported, but the market has been exceedingly dull. The, foreign have ruled heavy, and Sambre and Meuse have receded about ss. Ottoman Bank Shares have further receded in consequence of the probable formation of a State Bank in Turkey. Banking shares, generally, have been steady. Mines dull, and the Miscellaneous mostly at previous rates. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (Prom qv: Official List.) Bust:lest done. 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities,.... 9511 3 per Cent.

All doubt as to the execution of this wretched criminal having been removed by the final determination of Sir George Grey not to interfere with the due course of the law, the relatives and friends of the culprit have visited him to-day and yester day, for the purpose of taking a last farewell. The final decision of the Home Secretary was comma nicated to Dove on Th tirsday mornine by Mr. Noble, the governor of the ga el, and on it being intimated t the prisoner that there was no looger the slightest hope of his life being spared, he appeared quite unmoved and unconcerned, reinarkin g that he was not at all surprieed at Sir George Grey's ((ecision. He conversed with the governor very freely al )out it, and observed that he was sorry his friends should have given themselves such an amount of unnecessat-er trouble on his behalf. He added, "It is just what I have expected for the last few !aye. I never looked fOr anything but an unfavourable reply from him." On Thursday forenoon the chaplain of the gaol preached the usual week-day sermon before the prisoners in the gaol, and Dove was pres ,t. The rev. gentleman's sub ject was not in direct ref 3r .ence to the unhappy criminal, but, practically, it may iie said that it was the con demned sermon, as it very frequently touched upon the peculiar nature of "Dove's crime. The prisoner appeared to listen to the, sermon very attentively, and on several occasions during its delivery he wept bit terly. Ho hid his face it his bands, and seemed to be suffering intense mental anguish. Between 11 and 12 o'clock on Thursday for °noon, a carriage, containing Mrs. Dove, the prisoner's .ea other, his two sisters, and his late wife's brother, the Rev. Mr. Jenkins, drove up to the gate of the castle. The parties had come to take a sad farewell of their miserable ri dative. They were told that the prisoner was at that tirn e attending Divine service in the chapel, and on this in timation being, conveyed to them they retired, and wee at again shortly after one o'clock, when the painful interview took place. The prisoner, who had written fa r them the day before, w'ss apprised by the Governor 'of their approach, and ex pressed his gratitude for the visit. On the afflicted family entering the prisonfir's cell, the scene was most heart-rending and agenisi-ege The aged mother threw her arms around her wrete:t.ed sou's neck, and, unable in words to give expression 'to her grief, she sobbed con vulsively for several minute s. The sisters, kneeling at her feet, were equally overpc )veered, whilst the Rev. Mr. Jenkins, the brother in-law c.f the prisoner, offered up a fervent and appropriate prayer. Several minutes elapsed after Mr. Jenkins h ad finished praying before a word was exchanged betw.aesa the prisoner and his rela tives. At length Mrs. Dare threw herself at her sou's feet, begged of him fully to confess his crime if he was guilty of it, and entreated hien by fervent and unceas ing prayer during the few remaining hours he had to live, to prepare for the awftil change which awaited bite, and make his peace with God. The prisoner was deeply moved by his distracted parent's affectionate appeal. He fell down on his knees, and with uplifted hands earnestly prayed for forgiveness of his sins, but he avoided making any direst confession of the murder. His relatives then all knelt around him, and the Rev. Hr. Jenkins again engaged in prayer. This done an interval of several minutes' silence followed. At length the last farewell was taken ;—the mother, sisters, and Dlr. Jenkins again embraced the prisoner, and the fer nier was so overpowered that she had to be led out of the cell. All, in reference to the murder, that his rela tives could obtain from him was, "that all would be made right after his death," and it is said that he has confessed to the chaplain ort the condition that the con fession is not to be made public until after his execution. How far this may be true a few hours will determine. The prisoner's spiritual adviser was the Rev. Mr. Hartley, a Wesleyan minis ter, formerly of Leeds, but now resident in York. T.nis gentleman was well ac quainted with the prisoner's family during his residence iu Leeds, and it is owing to this circumstance that he now visits the prisoner. Mr. Wright, the "prison philanthropist," was also in constant attendance upon the prisoner. Yesterday the Rev. Mr. Hartley had a lengthened interview with the prisoner till the forenoon. lie saw him again in the afternoon. In a conversation with the rev, gentleman he represented the prisoner as deeply penitent. THE LATE ROBBERY BY SCAVENGERS ;.- This morning an application was male to Mr. Hen ry by the police sergeant,who has charge of the case tot a warrant to procure the attendance of a marine-st• , dealer and his , wife, named Walters, who bad porch: is ed the property stolen from the yard of Mr. Jacques, tb ,( iron merchant, of Bloomsbury. The property bad bec n traced to the possession of a wholesale dealer in the ne :ighbourhood of the Caledonian-road, who gave a very satisfactory ac• count of the manner in which he had 13tcome possessed of it. He stated he had purchased it c I the marine-store dealer in question. It was stated by • Walters that his wife had purchased the boilers. Mr. Henry granted a warrant to core pel the attendance of Walters and his wife at the next e• ramination of the two men, Collins and Brewer, which i s .appointed for an early day next week. - The convict admitted to Mr. Wright, yesterday, the prison philanthropist, that he poisoned his wife, and that for the offence he ought to die. The witnesses, the jury, and the judge he admitted only did their duty. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) YORK, SATURDAY, 1 P.M. Shortly before twelve o'clock the prison bell began to toll. Everything being in readiness, the solemn pro cession then marched slowly to the scaffold, on arriving at which the prisoner shortly engaged in prayer. The executioner then proceeded to adjust the rope, and drew the white nightcap over the unfortunate man's head. The signal having been given, he was launched into eternity, and death seemed to have been almost instan taneous. There was a large concourse of people in attendance. PREFERENCE SHARErs.

This very interesting annual event was contested yester day with the advantage of very fine weather, which, with the anticipation of first-rate sport, produced a very large assemblage of spectators. The encouragement given by this club for years past to aquatic sports is well known, and never was their liberality more appreciated than when they expressed their intention of giving on each succeed ing season a stimulus to young watermen, not out of their time, in the shape of a coat, badge, and freedom of the Watermen's Company. Formerly this race used to be rowed from Putney to Hammersmith in heats; but on the present occasion, in order fully to test the lasting qualities of the men, the distance from Westminster to Putney was substituted, and with advantage, for the race was of a most pleasing character, and many hundreds, who would otherwise have been debarred, had an opportunity of wit nessing it. _ - W. Bell, Richmond P. Parker, Kingston 2 G. Everard, Essex-street-stairs H. Parker, Westminster C. Keefo, Westminster 5 W. Torrington, ditto 6 The veteran coxswain, Jem Parish, saw that they were all right at their stations, and, at a little before six o'clock, they all effected a capital start; but directly afterwards Bell took the lead, followed by P. Parker, the others being all in a cluster. Everard then went out as a good third, and challenged P. Parker to a most powerful contest, which continued without intermission from the beginning to the end of the race. So fierce was the trial of skill and strength between them, that Everard again and again went up to his quarter, when the other had just power enough to pull away. Bell kept his own to the distance post, winning by a hundred and fifty yards. The young aspirants for aquatic fame were received with loud cheers. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(Thi3 Day.)

Telegraphic accounts from Constantinople yesterday report that the Goverment had announced their plan for the establishment of a State bank. The capital is to be 3,000,0001., and the bank is to have the privilege of is suing notes to the like amount. It is to undertake to negotiate a 5 per cent. loan for 5,000,0001. at 90, to be applied to take up inconvertible paper and debased cur rency, the interest on which, together with 1 per cent. for a sinking fund, is to be provided for by the r evenues and tributes of the Danubian Principalities. The con cession for the bank is to be granted to those among the competitors who will offer to take the whole or the largest portion of the loan ; but as at the present value of Turkish bonds in the London market that transaction would involve a loss of about 4 per cent., and it is al leged that further large sums are likely to be required to clear off the expenses of the war, there seems little probability of any respectable capitalists being willing to entertain the project. The Prussian Government meditates considerable changes in the organisation of its army. ».

The particulars of the case have been a:lready published in The Sun, and it will no doubt be re, fleeted that the prisoner and prosecutor were both stFaiing at the Blue Pig, St. Mary-axe, and slept in the same room, from which place the property was stolen. The watch and chain were found wrapped up in a pocl zct handkerchief on the roof of a house opposite the Blue Pig. The parties are strangers. The proi.eimtor took corn passion on the prisoners on account of them both being Germans, and the latter returned his gratitude by robbing his friend. There being no proof to whom the handkerchief be longed, and the evidence being so purely circumstantial, The Lord Mayor, under the circumstances, ordered the watch and chain to be restored to the prosecutor, and the prisoner to be discharged. r;i:he prisoner was accordingly discharged. GUILDHALL. lionsE STEALING—A respectably dressed man, named Marks, was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman °Willis, charged with obtaining a horm under the fol low ing circumstances. Mr. Wontner appeared for the prosecution. It appeared from the evidence, that the prisoner, on Wednesday last, went to the Horse Repository, Barbican, and there saw Mr. Gower, to whom The represented himself as a cab proprietor, having three cabs; and four horses. He also called Mr. Gower's attention to his having had former transactions with him.. He mid he was a cab proprietor, 63, Ponsouby place, Vauxhall, and had lost a horse the previous night. The prisoner looked round the stables, selected a horse, tried it, and purchased it. On the presumption that the prisoner was a cab proprietor he was allowed to take the horse ,on giving his bill. It was afterwards found that the prisoner's statement was false, and on his apprehension by Hayden be admitted it, and said ho was driven to it by distress, and had sold the horse. The prisoner was then committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. VIOLENT ASSAULT UPON A SUESEON.— William Dim :nod; and James Hill, two workmen employed at the Princess's Theatre, wer3 charged with a violent assault upon Mr. William Curtis Hugmari, surgeon, No. 13, Great Ormond-street, Brunswick-square. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor, whilst passing along Oxford-street, about half-past 12 o'clock this morning, on his way home after visiting a patient, the two prisoners jostled rudely against him and knocked off his hat into the roadway. The prosecutor, thinking that the prisoners intended to rob him, raised a black ebony walking-stick and struck the prisoner Hill on the head, whereby the stick broke into pieces. The other prisoner then attacked the prosecutor, and dealt him several, severe blows on the eye and across the side of the head. A police•constable came up and the prisoners were given into custody. The prisoners had, just previously to the assault, been annoying a fe male, who escaped from them. The prisoners, in their defence, said they had just left their duties at the Princess's Theatre, and had taken only a pint of porter, and while in the act of crossing the road they accidentally pushed against the prosecutor, who turned rourd and struck Hill on the head without sufficient provocation. Police•constable 142 E, and the Inspector on duty at the time the charge was taken, proved that the prisoners were drunk when brought to the station. Other evidence having been offered, Mr. Bingham said the prisoners had jostled the prose cutor, and as he thought he was going to be robbed he struck one of them, when the other committed a violent attack upon him. The case was an aggravated one, and the prisoner Hill must pay a fine of 205., and Dimmock 405., or in default to be imprisoned. THAMES. MARINE THIEVES.—DARING ROBBERY ON BOARD SHlP.—Williana Burgess, a lad about 16 years of age, and George Wilson, an old man, were charged with stealing a large quantity of rope, part of the tackle of the ship Cicely. Captain William Armstrong said he was the master of the Cicely, and he had put every confidence in the old man, and appointed him shipkeeper, with directions not to leave the vessel at all, but to have his meals on board, while the ship was under repair on Gun Dock ways, in High street, Wapping. On Friday he returned to his ship, and found the shipkeeper lowering a large sack containing rope out of the ship's forecastle to a boy who was on the beach under the vessel. The boy received the bag and went off with it. He pursued the lad, and overtook him with the rope in his possession. It consisted of tacklo belonging to the rigging, and was all serviceable rope. Last time his ship was in the same ways in Gun Dock he lost 201. worth of property, and he took precau tions this time to put a ship-keeper on board, with direc tions to be vigilant, and had lost as much more. Thomas Sarch, a police constable, No. 300 ,K, said the prisoners admitted their guilt to him, and said it was a bad job and could not be undone. The prisoners were committed for trial. ROBBING A TlLL. — George Neale, a youth about 19 years of age, was charged with stealing a box out of a till in the shop of Mrs. Harriet Conn, a grocer in High-street, Poplar. Mrs. Conn said she had left her shop for a short time, and was in her kitchen, when she heard a noise in the shop, and upon hastening there saw the prisoner on his hands and knees behind tho counter, with a small box containing 13s. or 14s. which he had taken out of the till. He immediately threw it down. He then ran away, and she pursued him and caught him in a narrow court. He gave some lads behind him something, and was about to hit her when assistance arrived, and he was given into custody. The prisoner denied that he stole the box of silver, and declared he.went into the shop to buy some grocery. He was recognised as having been convicted of felony some time ago, and was sentenced to three months' hard labour. UNIVERSITY OP LONDON. MATISICULATION, 1856.

Her Majesty was to have reviewed the British German Legion at the camp at Browncrown, Gosport, last evening, and also the Ist (King's) Dragoon Guards:. Every prepa ration was made beforehand by Major-General Breton, the Lieutenant -Governor of Portsmouth, Commander-in-Chief of the south-west district ; but the weather was so wet and unfavourable the whole day that her llajesty pcstponed the ceremony, and the Ist Dragoon Guards will proceed to Aldershot to-day. The depot of the 3d battalion of the Rifle Brigade, con sisting of 340 rank and file, joined the giirrison at Win chester on Wednesday last from Portsmouth. On Wednesday a public dinner was given, at Coventry to the Scots Greys, or 2d Dragoons, which came into the town on their way to Ireland. The officers and men of the 10th Hussars, quartered in the town, and the pensioners of the district, were invited. After the accustomed loyal toasts, the chairman (Mr. W. Lynes, mayor of Coventry) proposed the healths of those brave mon on whose behalf the company had that day assembled—" Colonel Griffiths and the Royal Scots Greys." Col. Griffith; in returning thanks, assured the company, on behalf of every officer, non-commissioned officer, and man in the regiment, that the reception they had met with in the city of Coventry would be fir ever remembered, for never had they received so cordial a welcome as was shown by the immense gather ing of people. Of the deeds performed by the Greys at Balaklara the company around him were sufficiently aware, and their kindness and hospitality showed him that those deeds were duly appreciated ; that they valued the men who did their duty under whatever circumstances they were called upon to act. He hoped he might be pardoned if he said he was proud of the command with which her Majesty had been pleased to entrust him, and of the hon ours borne on his breast, which the men of the regiment under his command had won for him. Several other toasts, appropriate to the occasion, were given and duly honoured, The company at dinner numbered about 450, of whom 300 were privates, 30 officers, and 120 civilians.

In c onsequence of the difference of opinion which ex ists with regard to the bearing of the New Joint Stock Companies Act, 185 C, on fire and life assurance associations, the question has been brought under the consideration of the law officers of the Crown, whose opinion is expected in a few days. The registrar of joint-stock companies and the Board of Trade are tin ; derstood to be of opinion that the act has totally re pealed the 7th and Bth Victoria, chap. 110. EXTRAORDINARY AND PAINFUL AFFAIR.—An extra ordinary circumstance has occurred in a village not far from King's Lynn, Norfolk. A clergyman , who h ad teen missed for three weeks, was found a few days since in a field of corn in a dreadful condition ; he was just alive, but flies and insects had actually eaten his skin. It is supposed that the unfortunate gentleman, who is insane, had passed the three weeks in the field, and that he had derived a scanty subsistence from the scarcely ripe ears of corn. CANCER HOSPITAL. This institution, established in 1351 for the treat ment of poor persons afflicted with cancerous disease, held its fourth annuai meeting yesterday afternoon in the Board•room of the London establishment, 167, Pic cadilly. The chair was taken by Win. Loxham Farrer Esq., the treasurer, and, after a tew brief remarks, called upon the secretary to read the general financial and medical reports. They showed that there were ample grounds of congratulation upon the gradual prosperity and increasing usefulness of the institution. In 1851 and 1852 the amount received was 2,842/. • in 1853, 1,832/. ;in 1854, 6,0671. ( o f thi s sum, 4,50 01. was a legacy from the late Mrs. ‘Vilson) ; in 1855, 2,7001. ; making a total of 13,4411. The number of patients ad mitted were, in 1851 and 1852, 397 ; in 1853, 650 ; in 1854, 886 ;in 1855, 1,359. Although the medical staff did not say they could cure the malady, yet they had the self-gratification of knowing that many of she worst cases have received the greatest possible mitigation of suffering, life in such eases having been considerably lengthened, ;sect that, in a large majority of cases which have presented themselves in the first, stage of the malady, a perfect arrest of the disease has been effected, and it only remains now for time to prove bow many o those cases have been absolutely cured. To promote tie efficiency of the charity the committee had commis sioned the senior surgeon (Dr. Marsden) to visit the continental hospitals with reference to the treatment o[ cancer, which had resulted in his presenting to the pro fession and the public the opinions and practice of all the eminent surgeons in France, Belgium, and Ger many, and had published a translation of Valpeau's work on " Cancer of the Breast." The premises in Pic cadilly had been found eligible, and been taken at a moderate rent for 32 years, and the hospital at West Brompton would be extended as soon as some existing difficulties were removed. Thanks were eminently due to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury for the con tinued interest he took in the charity ; also to the Lon don and provincial press, for its advocacy ; and to the treasurer, weekly board, medical and other officers, for their valuable services. The fieances exhibited receipts for the year ending December, 1355 (including previews balance, 29/, Os. 4d. ; legacies, 7501., together with d onations, sub scr i pt i ons, dividends, &c.), amounting to ,777/. 10s.. 6d., of whice, after defraying the necessary expenses, a balance remained of 1831. 6s. 7d., in addition to a funded capital of 3,6001. Three per Cent. Consols. The report of Dr. Marsden, a most interesting docu ment, described the result of his visit to the Continental hospitals, and conferences with their most eminent prac- ' titioners, showing that all were agreed that no infallible remedy or mode of treatment for cancer had yet been discovered, and but as little agreement prevailed between physicians and surgeons as to the constitutional treat ment of cancer as a c e nt ur y an d a h a lf ago. A combi nation of both appears either not to be uncle hospitals do ls r ignored. He had found no place similar to the oita in Brompton and Piccadilly, where constitutional with treat ment, medically and dietiesily, combined d' disease,a lea or t t e referred o s surgical, r t g o i crael retard progress. rythi ng w it i o s e d s o u n rg o e t o o o pr s a rep and its ndeve to the increasing number of applications, and in the sta tistics for the year showed the out - patients to . ales l i n -patients—males, 57 ; outpatients— females, 192251; in patients—females, 21. ) 3 ; total i n an d ou t-p a tients, 1,359. Of the outpatients 310 h a d b een m relieved or their disease arrested ; 113 died ; and 450 remained under treatment. Of the in-patients there have been discharged, either arrested or relieved, 227 ; 13 bad been successfully operated upon ; 25 died ; at present under treatment, 15. Of the whole, no less than 710 were cases of breast cancer in females. The reports were unanimously adopted. Dr. Marsden, T. Weedon Cooke, Esq., surgeons, Messrs. Mocatta, Withall, lialswell, Dr. O'Connor, and other gentlemen, addressed the meeting in support of resolutions thanking the medical and other officers, as also expressions of gratitude to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury for having preached a second sermon fo the institution i • and the proceedin g s conclud e d w ith thanks to th e chairman.
