XONEY MARKET • AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLoar,... The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly but steadily, at about former prices. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales, including 4,000 for export and on speculation. In the Railway Share Market a fair amount of business was trans acted, and prices ruled firm. Advices from the Paris grain market state that business yesterday was very limited, and prices were evidently declining on account of the favour able state of the weather for the growing crops. In flour there were no transaction 4, as the re tailers look forward to a considerable reduction in the prices next week. The four mark qualities of flour are quoted at 99f. per sack of 157 kilos, but sales were difficult at 98f. and some were effected at 9 7. Holders of stock offered to sell for 85f. for September, but there was not much inclination to deal amongst buyers. Accounts from Hamburg to the close of last month state that the coffee market had been ani mated with a rise in prices. This improvement has been calculated at to 3-16ths of a sch. for common qualities of Brazil and middling sorts. St. Domingo quality has been also in demand, at advance. Laguayra is firm at previous prices. The sales from the 26th to the 29th consisted of 8,000 bags. Rio and Santos at 41 to 5i sch. ; 3,000 ditto La guayra from 5 9-16 to 6a sch. ; and 1,000 St. Domingo from 5-1 to 5a sch. The Bank of England Return, completed for the week ending the 26th ult., is generally considered very favourable. There is a small addition to the stock of bullion, and as the recent arrivals from Australia are believed to have been sufficient for the export requirements, it is not expected that any further decline will take place at present. The reserve of notes is larger, showing a more limited demand for money ; but as the inquiry is now more active, an unsatisfactory change in this department may be apparent next week. The in creased absorption of capital at the present mo ment, however, being principally connected with the settlements at the Stock Exchange, and the usual commercial liabilities of the "fourth" of the month will probably be only temporary. Active Circulation Decrease Bullion 12,388,804 Increase Rest In crease Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Decrease Seven-Day and other Bills 875.807 Increase Government Securities Decrease Other Securities Decrease Notes unemployed Increase The official return of the exports of bullion from the port of London for the week ending Thursday last is as follows : Gold Coin ), PP IP 1% ~ Bars .....

The English Stock Market, though firmer, has remained dull, in the absence of either real or spe culative dealings of magnitude. Consols have been 95 ii, 9 51 1 for money, 95/ for the next account, and 961 for September, being at an improve ment of # per cent. The New 3 per Cents. have been 963 and the Reduced 96 to 961.

Railway Shares are steady, with the exception of Great Western and Lancashire and Yorkshire, Which have ruled flat. The business done, how ever, as usual on Saturdays has been very dull. The Foreign and Colopial have been without much variation. Rigas are lower. Sambre and Meuse firm, and Grand Trunk of Canada at a slight advance.

WAR DEPARTIIENT, Aug. 2.—The following vessels passed the Bosphorus on passage to England on the 29th and 30th ult.:—Assistance, 260 troops and passengers ; and Crest of the Wave, 90 men Land Transport Corps, ad passengers. THE LONDON AND VIRGINIA GOLD AND COPPER MIN. ING COMPANY.—Yesterday the annual general meeting of the proprietors was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate—Nr. Ayton in the chair. The Secretary read . the report, from which it appeared that since the last meeting the directors regretted to state that several c ircumstances had occurred to prevent the operations at the mine proceeding as expeditiously and satisfactorily all could have been desired. It appears from the re turns that during the half year there has been only one month's effective work in the myll for gold, which, how ever, it is satisfactory to observe, yielded 4171. 17e. 7d. The samples of copper ore which have hitherto been mind have been ascertained to be of considerable value. lame were sold at Swansea at the rate of 241. per ton. the Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, left it to the meeting to determine whether they should continue operations, or at once wind up the concern, 'which he c ons id ere d the best course to adopt. A length ened discussion ensued, when it was eventually agreed to make a call of is. 3d. per share, the directors stating that if the appearances were not favourable, they would call a special meeting to dissolve the company. A vote of tbankks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. The Correspondance Italienne states that 21 per sons were arrested during the late disturbance at Parmignola by the Sardinian troops stationed at the frontier. They were all insurgents intent upon making th e i r escape from the Modenese terr i tory. The lead er of the band was a man named Ratti, who has not yet been arrested. His rallying cry as, " Respe c t to laws ! The Constitution for ever !" On taking possession of the custom-house of Parrnignola he found 2,000 zwanzigers (1,600 f.) in the strong-box, Which he took possession of, and then ordered the electric wi.es to be cut. By the latest accounts 450 men of the Modenese army have been sent to Carrara. Seven persons sus pected of having a hand in the Ratti affair have been arrested at Geuoa. mrs, and rs of th e 'orteSollo Londovr that the Londo n It dePr aig OW , the 1, whic'" e retort?. rerntneriv oake the afar, an L , ve bee° m ight 1)E1 Main t he rforwitig nd lotir Chanc el. licit Air' i g tOalt::, bI ~ , 0 idger'llm. r tig h : a t oprooedr prO., Ora . gyres bi°l at of tbe )rt a fur' ,s the 1111 standardneral inl; tyt I°W° agy.

ITALY. Tunrx, July 29.—The latest intelligence from the scene of the recent attempt at insurrection in the Lunigiaua represents everything as perfectly quiet, and therefore this movement, which would be simply ridiculous if it were not also unhappily mischievous, may now be considered at an end. The troops have now returned to their quarters, with the exception of one company of Bersaglieri, which remains ou the frontier near Ortonovo. The Sardinian Government has received information from MASS% and Carrara that tranquility is per fee, ly re-established in the Modenese territory. From Parma we learn that Count Crenneville was about to leave, for a time at least. His friends there said he was only going on leave to some watering place, but as the Corriere Italian° and other German papers have already reported his ap proaching promotion and removal from his present command, it is very possible that his departure will be final—" for good," as they say—and that be has only been left so long in order not to give his re moval the appearance of a recall on the demand of the Duchess. General Count Stakelberg has been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary at this Court by the Em peror of Russia, and is shortly expected here. Baron Hubner, who is now travelling in Italy, is expected, it is said, to visit Naples in a few days. - POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day. 130 WS ['REEL ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—This morning a mac, dressed as a costermonger, was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged with violently assaulting the police. From the evidence of two constables of the F divi sion, Nos. 13 and 79, it appeared that yesterday after noon the prisoner came to the police-station in Bow street, to lodge a complaint against a police-constable. Having made his statement he became violent, and was with difficulty persuaded to quit the place. On reaching the door he recommenced his violent conduct, and the two constables took him into custody, and then the assault complained of took place. One of the officers stated that he kicked and bit him, and it took four men to lodge him in the lock-up. Inspector Mitchell stated he was on duty yesterday afternoon at the k tation-h ouse, and at about three o'clock the prisoner came into the charge room and sai he wished to make a complaint against a police-constable. On questioning the man he stated that whilst he was taking some beer to a public-house the constable had called him a thief. The constable was sent for, and, on his arrival at the station-house, he distinctly denied having done so ; whereupon the prisoner said be had, and that it was useless to make any complaint against the police. As far as he saw the man received no insult from the policemen in the charge-room, although he had asserted that two of them had behaved improperly to wards him. He was decidedly drunk when he came to the station-house. The prisoner denied any intention of assaulting the police ; but, after he had been called a thief, and, thinking his complaint was treated light►y, he felt vexed. The police first commenced the assault. Mr. Henry The Inspector says you were drunk, and as you have severely hurt a police-constable, I fine you 50 shillings for the assault, or, in default, three weeks' imprisonment. CAUTION TO CABSIEN.—A cabdriver was next charged with using abusive language to a gentleman named Wilson. From the evidence of the complainant it appeared that at about 12 o'clock last night, being in the neigh. bourhood of Whitechapel, a:A having but an imperfect knowledge of the locality, he engaged the man at the bar to drive him to the Strand. On their arrival at that place he gave the man la. 6d., judging from the time he was in the cab—about twenty minutes—that would be about the fare. The man took the money, and turning it over, said the sixpence was a bad one, and that he was a swindler, and that he ought to have half-a.crown. He continued his abusive language, and a crowd collected, and feeling annoyed at the abusive language of the man he gave him into custody. The cabman, in answer to the charge, said the gentle. man hailed him as he was going home, and he under• stood him to say he would give him half a-crown to drive to the Straw'. On arriving at the destination he lost his temper when he found he was only to receive ls. G 3., as it was less than the fare. He was not drunk, as he had only taken a few glasses of ale during the evening. The magistrate said the present charge related to using abusive language, and not to the amount of the fare. The driver of the cab had his remedy by summons when bis just fare is refused, and he has no right whatever to use abusive language. So serious an offence had it been considered that the act empowered him to commit any driver to prison for two months with hard labour, with out the option of fine. However, as this was the first offence he had committed, during the number of years he had been a driver, he would only fine him 20s. The money was paid. MANSION HOUSE. FORGING A RAILWAY WARRANT.—The two men, named Latto and Carey, were placed at the bar on re mand, before Mr. Alderman Wire, charged with forging a railway dividend warrant of the South-Eastern Rail way Company, with intent to defraud Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Cu., bankers. The particulars of this case appeared a few days ago in The Sun. The only additional evidence produced to day was that of Scott, the detective, who stated that on searching Laho he found a pocketbook en him con taining an entry of as. 4d. paid by Laho to Carey. He also found in the book a piece of blotting paper on which were blotting corresponding with the signature of "F. Dashwood, Esq.," written on the warrant in ques tion. Laho, in answer to the charge, said what he wrote on the warrant was at the request of the banker's clerk, and he did it innocently. He had the paper from Carey. Carey said that seven months since, when walking the streets of London looking for work, he found the paper in question in Cannon•street west. Soon after he had a job of work in the country, where he found the other prisoner. He showed Laho the paper, and asked him if it was of any good. He replied he thought not. Prisoner then gave it to him, saying it was of no use to him, and at the same time told him not to make any bother or trouble about it, because he (Carey) would rather it were burnt than that. The prisoners were then committed for trial. GUILDHALL. Two women, named Phillips and Moreland, the latter with a child in her arras, were charged before Alderman Challis with a breach of the prison regulation in at tempting to convey tobacco to two men on remand in Newgate prison. The Matron of Newgatu deposed that on the previous day the prisoners presented themselves at the gate of the prison, and asked to see their friends. Suspicions being awakened, the prisoners were searched, and on Phillips was found a man's scarf filled with tobacco, and a quantity more was found in the child's pocket. They were accordingly given into custody. The prisoners pleaded hard for mercy, on acoouist •f their destitute condition, and the suffering their fami lies would have to endure by the infliction of a heavy fine. _ . Alderman Challis said he Prison Act gave him no discretion, and the offence having been satisfactorily proved, be fined them 40s. ; but he found by the Police Act he could mitigate it to 103. Ile therefore fined them 10s. each, or, in default, seven days' imprisonment. A gentleman present, comtn,;serating their position, kindly paid the fines, and the privoners were discharged. A letter from the Hague of the 29th ult., in the Independance of Brussels, says :—lt appears that M. Escher is definitively charged with the general direction of the affairs of the navy. The cabinet not being able to find a minister for this depart ment has got over the difficulty by contenting itself with a director-general. It only rem a ins to be seen who will take this responsibility. The Mi nister of Foreign Affairs has, I am informed, posi tively refused, and attempts are being made to in duce M. Meyer, the Colonial Minister, to accept it. M. Simons, the Minister of the Interior, has just given a grand dinner to the professors of the Academy of Delft, of which he.is director, and which post, it would appear, he has no idea of re linquishing, as he told his guests that he should continue to devote his utmost attention to that important institution. Mn. AND MRS, KEELEY.—This talented couple are about to pay a professional visit to Glasgow and Edin burgh. They will be accompanied by their youngest daughter, who made so successful a debut as Gertrude, in the "Loan of a Lover," on the occasion of the ama teur pantomime. THE Musßu OF ORNAMENTAL ABT, AT MARLBOROUGH BOUSE.—The numbers attending, &c., dur►og the month of July were as f,,llows :—5,710 persons on the public days, and admitted free ; 651 persons on the students' days, and admitted as students on the payment of 6d. each, besides the registered students of the ( llama and echoole. LETTER PROM MR. SMITH O'BRIEN. July 22. My dear Sir,—l have for some time felt an anxious de 4re to offer my best acknowledgments to those members of the House of Commons who, during the last and present. cession of Parliarnent"exerted themselves to procure my restoration to Ireland ; but I have found some difficulty in determining what would be th© most suitable mode of giving effect to this desire. It now seems to me that there can be no occasion more appropriate than the moment of my return to my native land ; and as you were one of those who were most earnest in this endeavour, and have also command of a journal which will enable you to give publicity to my sentiments, I shall feel obliged if you will become the organ for conveying my thanks to those with whom you co-operated. From the hour of my imprisonment until the present moment I have carefully abstained from soliciting any favour from the British Government, or any mitigation of the penalties which I incurred in 1848. Having done what I considered to he my duty, I could not express contrition. It, therefore, seemed to me becoming to remain entirely oassive, and to submit without repining to the conse vences of an attempt which may have been ill-judged, but which was prompted by the purest motives. At the ame time I have not felt myself bound to deprecate on the part of others the expression of sympathy which seemed to me to be highly honourable to those who enter tained it—even though that sympathy was evinced in the form of solicitation. As there has been little disposition to underrate the mental sufferings, _privations, and pecuniary losses which I and my family have sustained, I shall now speak only of the circumstances by which we have been consoled. It will always be to us a subject of pleasing and grateful re collection to remember that, from the hour of my con viction to the day of my return, my ow❑ countrymen, without distinction of classes, creeds, or parties, have ex hibited deep solicitude respecting my fate, and from timer `o time have manifested this solicitude in the manner' which seemed to them most conducive to my deliverance from imprisonment and exile. Nor has this sympathy been confined to Ireland. Even in Van Diemen's Land I experienced on the part of English and Scotch, as well so of Irish colonists the greatest possible kindness—kind ness which I can never forget—whilst in Victoria and in New South Wales my liberation was greeted with such 4ratulations as are generally offered to thos3 who triumph rather than to those who fail. In the United States large multitudes of Americans as sembled in their chief cities to solicit the intervention of the President of the Republic on behalf of the Irish state orisoners, and our liberation from Van Diemon's Land in 1854 gave occasion to an address of congratulation from New York, which appears to have embodied the senti ments of a great majority of the inhabitants of one of the largest capitals of the world. I have been informed also that during the present spring an address to the Queen (which I have not as yet seen) was carried by the legislature of Canada by which my re storation to Ireland was earnestly requested. In like manner I have experienced on the part of indivi duals devotion such as has been rarely equalled, of which I need cite no other instance than that of my friend Mr. P. J. Smyth, who made two voyages round :the world with a view to assist in rescuing me from captivity. During the session of 1855 I was apprised that one hun dred and forty members of parliament memorialised the Prime Minister in favour of my unconditional return. Upon analysing the list of their names I discovered that it contained a majority of the representatives of Ireland, among whom were to be found some who would have asked no other favour from a British Minister, and several whose views respecting the political interests of Ireland aro dia metrically opposed to those w'dch I entertain, as well as others who have been i❑ the habit of supporting the Whig administration. I found also in this list the names of the most distinguished of the English and Scotch members, amongst whom indiscriminately were men belonging to the several parties which divide the arena of political con tention. To all who have expressed or felt sympathy I would willingly tender my acknowledgments ; and it is with this view that I now address to you this letter, in the hope that it may obtain extended publicity. You will, therefore, oblige me by placing it upon public record in whatever manner may appear to you most ac ceptable to those for whose perusal it is designed.—With much respect for your public character, I remain, my clear sir, yours very sincerely, WILLIANI S.

THE INJURED JOCKEYS. MENTS. DOG►GETT'S COAT AND BADGE. An interesting day's sport brought the meeting to a termination, and the only incident of a painful nature connected with the week's proceedings was the distres- ping oceern-nce in the race for the Goodwood Stakes on Wednesday. The " official," one and all, deserve praise for the promptitude with which they carried out the liusineas arrangements. A detachment of the A divi -ion of police, under the direction of 'Superintendent Walker, Inspector Banks and Richardson, and Serjeants Jackson, Hubbersty, and Monaghan, assisted by Super int-ndent C. Smith, of the county constabulary, did active service on the course, and discharged their duties with temper and discretion. Serjeant Witcher, )f the detective force, was also in attendance. The railway arrangements were adm;rable, and by running extra trains every facility was afforded those persons who sojourned at towns along the coast for reaching Drayton and Chichester, the nearest landing points for Goodwood. For the accommodation thus rendered the visitors are indebted to Mr. F. Slight, the secretary, and Mr. Haw kins, the manager of the traffic department of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Com . - pany. On winding up an account of an important meeting it is customary to mention the manner in which the persons engaged in the real business of the meeting got through their labours. Never, perhaps, was com mendation more deserved than on the present occasion. The Newmarket staff of officials was employed, and re gularity and efficiency in each department were, there fore ensured. The subjoined return of the races require no corn went .

Coombes, the son of the celebrated Robert Coombes, ex-champion of the Thames, and Wm.

Everson won by half a mile. Coombes and Mansey both rowed capitally, but were unfortunately fouled and much impeded. So close and exciting was the contest for third place that the krr men were all at Westminster-bridge together; after which they took the positions in which they ultimately arrived, with great gaps, however, between them at the finish. Mr. Dards waited half an hour for Coombes, who did not come, and it was therefore conjectured that he had been delayed by some misadventure. All the men sat down after the race to a substantial dinner, provided at the expense of the Fishmongers' Company. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SITTINGBOURNE AND SHEERNESS. An influential meeting of the original shareholders of the above railway was held Yesterday afternoon in the Town Hall of Queensborough—the Right Hon. S. R. Lushington presided, supp )rted by the deputy chairman (Mr. L. S. Alagnus), Mr. Frederick Lees, the largest holder of land in the Isle of Sheppy, and through a con. siderable portion of whose property the line will pass; Mr. Comyn and Capt. Demergue, both large holders of land ; Nr. Balls, Mr. Perry, and others. The Right Ron. CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceed. ings, observed his age and infirmities rendered it impos sible for him to take a very active part in the concerts of the company ; bet it was pleasing for him to know that they had an able and indefatigable deputy-chair. man, Mr. Magnus, a gentleman who would not lose any opp, rtunity of promoting the best interests of the company. (Cheers.) Mr. MA.CINIIS then presented the following report of the directors : "Your directors have called this meeting in pursuance of the 66th section of the Bth Vic., chap. 16, Companies Clauses Consolidated Act, obliging them to convene a general meeting within one month after the passing the special act, which, they are happy to announce, received the Royal assent 7th of July. Since that period your directors have employed themselves in bringing this undertaking, in the most prominent manner, into pub. lie notice, and it gives them great satisfaction to an nounce that their endeavours have succeeded beyon 1 their most sanguine expectations, in the support they have received helm the public, Who have beccme appli cants for shares far beyond the number they have to allot. It being necessary that this meeting should be held before the allotment of the shares, your directors do not desire that any business should be entered upon beyond what is absolutely required by Act of Parliament, as they wish the shareholder:, generally to take a part in the affairs of the company. Your directors have also lcly given the instructions necessary to enable your engineer to pro ceed with the borings for the foundation of the bridge, and he reports that in a few days he will be prepared to lay before them the working details of the bridge and line. Having now assured you of our complete success in a Par liamentary, financial, and engineering point of view, no thing remains for us but to assign our trust into your hands, to recommend the re-election of the present board, and to observe that your Act of Parliament permits the election of eight directors; but as they consider six amply sufficient for the efficient working of this company, they would not recommend you'to exceed that number." Mr. MAGNus, in moving the adoption of the report, said that one of the objects of the meeting was to fix the remuneration to be given to the directors, but he begged to state that the board had determined that they would not accept any remuneration for the services until the line was open far traffic. (Cheers.) They wouid recol lect that at the meeting held at the Queen's Ferry House at the time the company took possession of the ferry property, he told them that the shares when issued to the public would probably be at 2i premium, and he then pointed out to them that they had had presented to them by the ferry wardens property to the value of 20 0001., so that the amount added to their 80,000/. capital really made their 10/. shares worth 121. 10a. Tne shares were now something below premium, but one of the reasons why they had not reached the pre die ed premium of 2i per cent, was that parties who did not hold any —and why, would in all probability have very few in answer to their applications—had been selling shares in the market. (Hear, hear.) Another reason was no doubt to be found in the mode in which it was publie,y alleged the managers of the Ceylon Rail way Company acted. Those bent emen, it was stated, had, after inviting the public to apply for shares, and receiving money with the applications, kept the money in their hands for some time, and then allotted few or any shares except to particular parties. The directors of the Sittingbourne and Sheerness railway did not intend to adopt such a course. They would, as far as possible, distribute the shares to persons connected with the locality—(hear, hear)—and hero he must say that, although the directors bad received more support in the island than they had been led to expect, yet be believed there would. hereafter be many to re gret that they had not made investments in a line which, he was convinced, would turn out a most profitable one. (near, hear.) The shares ap plied for exceeded in number that which they had to distribute, and the board had resolved to divide them am angst three parties—first, to those residing in the locality ; secondly, to the exceptional class—viz., those who had sold shares which they did not posses , , and to whom the directors would make very spare allotments indeed ; and, thirdly, to the general public. They would reserve a few for their friends abroad, who had not had time to seizs the opportunity of taking their fair share in the enterprise. He could truly say that the directors had not, in their prospectus, said ens half that they would have been fully justified in stat ing of the capabilities of the line ; but it was gratify ing to know that what they had said was believed. (Hear.) He hoped that by that time two years they would meet to declare a dividend for the half-year—for the line would then have been opened for six months—at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. (Cheers.) L The en gineer saw no difficulty whatever in finishing the line in 18 months. It was probable they would commence the works of the bridge within a few weeks. They bad not required any assistance from the contractors. (sear.) The board had an agreement with them to borrow, if necessary, 26,000/., with a promise that if the sum were not borrowed the company should be allowed a discount of 3,7501. This discount would be allowed, as the com pany would not want to borrow the 26,0001. (Cheers.) He had nothing further to do than to congratulate the shareholders on the flattering position in which the com pany now presented itself. (Cheers.) He then moved the adoption of the report. Mr. LEES seconded the, motion, which was carried unanimously. The directors having been re-elected, It was resolved, on the motion of Mr. Casnig, that the secretary, Mr. Breeze, should be paid 2001. per annum. A cordial vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE WEEK. NAME 'OF RAILWAY. Receipts. 1856. 1855. Miles opened. 1856.
