NONEY MARKEL AND COMMERCIAL INTY:ALIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. 1, 7 An active demand for money is still experienced in the general discount market, notwithstanding the effect produced for the liquidation of a e bills due on the 4th has now entirely ceased. The full rate of 4 per cent. is enforced for the best descrip tion of three months' paper, with exceptional trans actions at 3-Z- per cent. The t'arana, which has arrived from the Brazils, bus ',,rought about £15,033. A special settlement has been appointed to take place by the committee of the Stock Exchange on the 13th inst. in the shares of the undermentioned companies :—The Egyptian Commercial and Trad ing Company, Dunaburg and Wisepok Railway Campany, and the Bank of Otago (New Zealand), all of which are to be officially quoted, but the deal ings in the last named undertaking are only to be recorded in the bi-weekly list. Rather less activity has prevailed in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days. Operations on tea have been suspended, owing to the approach of the public sales which commence to-day. Sugar, coffee, and rice have barely sustained former rates; while saltpetre has been at enhanced quotations. Tallow has continued dull for both present and forward delivery. An undertaking of importance, entitled the London and African Trading Company, has recently been announced. The capital required is £500,000 and the first issue will comprise 4,000 shares of £25 each. The primary object is to barter with the natives on the West Coast of Africa, English manufactures for the produce of that portion 'of the continent, con sisting of palm oil, cotton, ivory, ground nuts, &c. It is averred that the trade of this region has hitherto been exclusively conducted by individuals who have realised large fortunes on the system of barter carried on with the natives. It appears that the most important article of trade is the palm oil, the production of which is stated to be unlimited; and that the nuts of the palm trees are so plentiful that they are left strewed about the forests to rot. Again, the eotten plant, which is indigenous to the soil of Africa, can be grown in large quan tities, and the natives have long been successful in the manufacture of cloths for their own use. The prospectus states that the directors have effected a favourable arrangement with a firm, for many years carrying on a lucrative trade in this part of the world, for the purchase of its business, and the company will therefore be enabled at once to com mence operations. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 68f. 75c. The market for the English Funds has exhibited an improving tone this morning, and Consols are per cent. better. The settlement of the account has made satisfactory progress, which together with the brilliant weather for the growing crops has induced a more confident feeling, and led to a few purchases for speculative purposes. The quotations are now 921 2 for money and the 9th instant, and 921 a for the August account. The market at the last moment presents a buoyant aspect. The New Threes are firm at 92 and the Reduced Annuities are 92 ; Bank Stock also remains at 234, 236 ; India Stock, ex div., is marked 224, 225, 227 ; the Five per Cent. Loan 1084 a ; the Five per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 1061, the Bonds are 18s. prem., and Exchequer Bills ls. die. to 2s. prem. A smaller amount of business has taken place in the Foreign Market than for some time past, and the quotations show a little heaviness. Mexicans have been 361 37f ; Greek, 35 4 ; and the Coupons have also tended downwards. There have been dealings in Turkish 6 per Cents., in the 1854 issue, at 934; in the 1862 issue, at 671 68; and in the Consolides, at 501 51, showing steadiness. The Confederate Loan remains at 11 Of dis.; Italian 5 per 'Cents. are marked 7 4 ; and Portuguese 3 per Cents., 481 1. In the Railway Share Market the operations have again been of the most limited character. North- Western have declined about 55., and London and Blackwall, and South-Western 10s. Caledonian and South-Eastern, however, have improved ss. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remain Inactive at barely previous quotations. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in some instances at slightly advanced prices. Im perial Ottoman Bank realise 191 ; London Chartered of Australia, 281; Union of Australia, 37; and Royal Mail Steam have improved to 671, Interna tional Financial shares are quoted 44 prem. ; London Financial, o to 8 prem. ; Egyptian Trading Company, 4 to 4 prem. ; and Hudson's Bay Com pany, to prem.

It appeared from the affidavit of the petitioner's solicitor that last May he was instructed by his client, who had resumed cohabitation with his wife, with whom he was at present living at Westbourne-terrace, Bayswater, to withdraw the petition. Mr. Dumphy, on the part of Mrs. Windham, said he bad no opposition to offer provided the costs were paid. Mr. F. H.

The Prince and Princess of Wales visited her Majesty before her departure from the Prussian Embassy, and accompanied her to the London bridge station. Her Majesty was also accompanied to the railway by the Count and Countess Bernstorff and M. Frederic Katte, the first Secretary of the Embassy; also by the Countess of Schulenbourg, Count Schwerin, Count de Boos-Waldeck, Dr. Brandis, and the whole of the suite who had been in atten dance on her Majesty during her stay at Windsor and in London.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. -0-- MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING A LADY'S PYRSE.—A DESPERATE THIEP.— Charles Williams, alias Peters, a young man, was charged beforellr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a lady's purse and con tents in Regent-street. John Hem y Lennox, 2, John's-terrace, Brecknock-street, Camden-town, a lithographic music printer, deposed that between five and six the previous afternoon he saw th 3 pri soner go deliberately up to a lady in Regent -street and snatch her purse from her band and then make off. He pursued the prisoner, who flung the purse from him, and having picked it up he continued his pursuit, and at length succeeded in securing the prisoner, who ran up a place where there was no thoroughfare, and took him to the sta • The Prince and Princess of Wales and the Count and Countess Bernstorff took leave of the Queen, who travelled by the ordinary fast train at 11.20, which did not stop at any other station but Croydon and Red-hill, and arrived at TunbridgeWells about half-past twelve. The train was driven by Mr. Knight, locomotive superintendent of the railway. The Prince and Princess of Wales returned to Marlborough House on quitting the railway sta tion. tion and handed him over to a constable. Mrs. Amelia: Sarah Webb, wife of Mr. Charles Webb, of 23, Holford-square, Pentonville, said that while walking with a young lady in Regent-street the previous afternoon, a poison, he believed the prisoner, stole the purse from her hand, and then ran away. On afterwards seeing the pri soner, and before she spoke to him, he exclaimed, " Don't give me in charge." At that time he was in the custody of the young man (Lennox) and a gentleman. In answer to Mr. Tytwhitt, the prosecutrix said the purse contained at the time S 2 ls. 3d. and a pencil case, but some of the silver was lost through the prisoner throw ing it from him. Inspector Bowles asked for a remand, which was granted. The prisoner, however, said he was guilty. The Count and Countess Bernstorff also took leave of the Queen at the station. Her Majesty left Tunbridge Wells about three o'clock and proceeded to Ramsgate by the South- Eastern Railway. The Vivid was lying in readi ness in the harbour, with her steam up, and, as soon as her Majesty had embarked, the vessel left the harbour for Ostend. Her Majesty, as at present arranged, on leaving Ostend will proceed to Soesteyk Palace, the summer residence of the Queen of the Netherlands, and will remain there today and to-morrow. On Thursday her Majesty will visit the Belgian Royal family at Laeken, and will then pass two days at Aix-la- Chapelle. It is expected that her Majesty will arrive at Coblentz on Sunday next, THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 1863. BOW-STREET. CAUTION TO VISITORS TO THE BRITISH MUSEUM. — George Miller was brought up on remand charged with stealing a purse from a lady named Gillespy. The prosecutrix said she was on Friday last at the British Museum with her little girl, and noticed the prisoner, who, notwithstanding the oppressive heat of the day, wore a very large and heavy cape or overcoat. He appeared to be fol lowing her and the young ladies, and she tried to avoid him ; but, eventually, he approached her and pressed closely by her side as she was looking at some of the objects in the glass cases. There was not the slightest necessity for his coming so close to her. After he had moved away from her side she missed her purse, which contained some silver money. Mr. Henry remarked upon the suspicious circumstance of the prisoner wearing a thick over -coat at this particular season of the year. Inspector Scott said he saw the prisoner enter the museum wearing a great coat, and afterwards he observed him leave with the coat hanging over his arm. Immediately he heard that the lady had lost her purse he followed the prisoner and brought him back, when the exact amount which Mrs. Gillespy said her purse contained was found in the pockets of the prisoner. The prisoner gave his address at Stepney, and on going there he was informed that the prisoner and his wife occasionally slept there, and that he was considered to be a person very well off. He and his wife both dressed very well, always had plenty of money, and the only thing that had brought the prisoner into notice in the neighbour hood was the fact that he never did any work. Mr. Morgan, one of the attendants at the Museum, pro duced a purse which he picked up empty the next morning in one of the rooms of the establishment. Police-constable 272 B said he knew the prisoner well. He had been twice summarily convicted for attempting to pick pockets, and he knew, in addition to that, that he had been in prison for six months. Mr. Abrahams, who appeared for the prisoner. said the young man was a well-conducted person, The Constable said he (prisoner) might say that he was, but Notwithstanding that he knew he had been three times in prison. Mr. Henry said as attempting to commit robbery had only been proved against the prisoner, he should sentence him to six months' imprisonment. The prisoner heard the decision of the magistrate with satisfaction, which was shared in by a number of his friends in the body of the court, who exclaimed—" All right Charley, it's only six months." WESTMINSTER. CHA.B.GE OF CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—Sam Rayn ham, a respectably-dressed young man, was charged with cutting and wounding a female with whom he was cohabiting. _ The complainant, who appeared very weak and unwill ing to give her evidence, stated that on the previous after noon she was rather behind hand with dinner, when she was complained of by him. Some words arose in conse quence, and during the altercation the prisoner took up a knife and flung it at her. He afterwards took up a knife and struck her with it on the arm. The wounds inflicted bled profusely. _ Sergeant Hodgßon, B 26, stated that he was called to the house, when he found the complainant bleeding profusely from the wounds which she said were inflicted by the pri soner with a knife and fork. Mr. Webb, divisional surgeon, said that :he dressed the wounds. One was caused by a knife, and another by a two pronged fork. He took the prisoner into custody (a gown was produced which had a cut in it about 6 inches in length). The Magistrate asked if that cut could have been caused by the prisoner flinging a knife at her. Mr. Webb replied it was not likely that it could have been caused in that way. The prisoner observed that he did not intend to hurt the complainant, and that he always was kind to her. Complainant remarked that he was alwa) s kind to her, and was sure he regretted what had occurred. Sh© hoped the magistrate would discharge him. The Magistrate said it was out of his power to do so. The prisoner was committed for trial. THAMES. TOBACCO SMUGGLING IN A CAB.--James Clare, a cab driver, and Stephen Nicholls, a touter and porter, were brought bef ore M r . Woolrych, charged with unlawfully smuggling 671bs. of foreign manufactured tobacco, by which they had incurred penalties of £lOO each. Mr. R. Beverly, from the Customs Solicitor's office, pro secuted on the part of the Crown. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended Clure. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. George Wm. Ross, a Customhouse officer, that last night, about half past nine o'clock, he saw the two prisoners on the front seat of a cab on Tower-hill. Clure was driving. The cab sins proceed ing towards the Minories. He put his head into the cab and saw two bags, each containing something bulky on the seats. Ile directed Cluro to stop which he did immediately, and then directed him to drive to the Custom-house. On arriving there he took from the cab two bags, each contain ing compressed foreign manufactured tobacco in pound and half-pound parcels. The tobacco weighed in all 671bs. In answer to Mr. Woolrych, the witness said that Cluro was driving slowly, and when he asked him to proceed to the Custom-house he said, " I'll do it directly—l'll go wherever you like to take me." He knew both drivers by sight. The tobacco did not come from any dock, the hour was too late. Both prisoners were on the box of the cab. There was no one inside. He believed the tobacco came from a foreign-going steamer off Irongate stairs. Edwin Howard Week, a Custom-house officer, said the cabman, Clure, told him that he was standing on the cab rank in the Minories, and a gentleman with red whiskers hired him, and told him to drive to St. Katherine's Dock Wharf, and take up a fare there ; that on arriving at St. Katherine's Wharf the gentleman with the red whiskers put two bags in the cab, and the other prisoner Nicholls then mounted the seat. Clare also said that the red-whis kered gentleman told him to drive up Tower-hill; but he did not get into the cab, and said, " He," pointing to Nicholls, " will tell you where you are to drive to, and where you are to stop." Mr. Young said that Cluro was actually engaged as was represented, and had no intention to smuggle tobacco and defraud the revenue. The two black canvas bags were put into the cab, and Clure did not know what they contained. Daniel Shorter, a waterman at the cab stand, Minories, said he was on the rank last night at nine o'clock, and a gentlemax with red whiskers spoke to Clure and hired his cab. Clure said, " Where to," and the gentleman replied, "To Irongate-stairs, near St. Katherine's Wharf. Mr. Woolrych said the case against Clure was too doubtful to justify him in convicting, and discharged him. He convicted the prisoner Nicholls, and ordered him to pay a fine of £lOO, and, in default of payment, to be im prisoned for six months.

She is expected to reach her destination in about 60 or 70 days. GOETHE'S CORRESPONDENCE. —It is stated from Leipsic that the privzte correspondence between Goethe and his illustrious friend the Grand Duke Charles August of Weimar, which has been awaited with the ut most impatience, is to be published early this month. Btudness done 1071 6 281 1 ; CATHOLICISM IN AMERICA. (Nom the last letter of MANHATTAN.) The CatlAieg of this city, under the guidance of Archbishop Hughes, are constantly progressing and increasing not only in churches but in congregations. No church occupied or owned by another denomi nation but is carefully watched, and the moment it is offered for sale is eagerly bought by the Cattle lies. I know of 20 churches so bought and conse crated to the Catholic worship within a few years. The last happened last week, when the old school Presbyterian Church, corner of Henry and Rutgers streets, was bought and occupied by the Catholics, under the name of St. Teresa. The old archbishop dedicated the new church and preached the sermon. As his political views are those of a million of Ca tholics they are important. He said :—" A legiti mate prayer now would be to stop the effusion of blood; to pray for mercy for both sides of the line, and God, in His bountiful providence, might bring this unhappy state of affairs to a glorious conclusion. To pray for peace at this moment would be impossible and ridi culous, since there was only one party to make peace. It took but one party to make war, but it took two to make peace, and as there was but one party to make peace, he saw no prospect of it at present. Unconscious of it as we were, we were drifting like the tide to the eternal ocean." The archbishop is the shrewdest bead of a Church on this continent. If he were to live 50 years more there would be but one Church in this country, and that would be Catholic. He is a far-seeing man is Archbishop Hughes, who ought to have been made a cardinal long ago ; and if the Pope of Rome expects to go to heaven when he dies, he ought to send a cardinal's red hat to the venerable head on this continent that has done more to spread the Catholic religion among our millions than 10,000 of the cardinals of the European school ever could or would do. A great man and a mighty priest is Archbishop Hughes. History will class him with Richelieu and Wolsey, only our man is greater than either, because more humble. He and his Church started poor in this city, when it had but 100,000. He has financiered it into vast wealth, in a city of 1,200,000. Trinity, or the Church of England, had 30 millions of dollars of property, and four magnificent chapels. It has not increased. Its rectors are fat and lazy, take the pick of the markets every day, and have choice wine cellars. Though seats are free in the great church and its chapels, nobody goes. The property is increasing. It is now possessed of 100 millions. Iu less than 30 years the executive, legislative, and judicial state powers will be Roman Catholic. They will confiscate this Episcopal Church property; it will be sold ncminally by the state, but really for the benefit of the Catholics, and the New York correspondent of your journal, 30 years hence, will see Trinity Church and its chapels—St. Paul's, St. John's, Trinity Chapel, and St. George's, all in the hands of the Catholics. The archbishop is now negotiating for the purchase of St. George's, through a secular person, nominally for building lots, but really for the Catholic Church of St. George, the Dragon Slayer. THE SUFFERING FAMILY. Among the numerous charities of London there is one just now which is more particularly appeal ing to public sympathy—one for which that sweet Songstress, no less remarkable for her Benevolence than for her Genius—Jenny Lind—has recently contributed her all-powerful aid—the Royal Hos pital for Incurables. In a kindred spirit the popular authoress of "Hope Evermore" (a name peculiarly significant for her of present success 0, Mrs. Gordon Smythies, has just published a charming little poem written in aid of this most invaluable hospital. The poem is pathetically entitled, " Incurable." It contains a graceful little tale of the rival loves of the fascinating Brillante and the fair and charitable Eva. From the introduction we quote the follow ing heart•appealing lines, which can hardly fail to meet with a fitting response from our readers : Incurable I Oh, ponder on that word, You, who in rosy health and radiant life Bask in the sun, like summer flowers stirred By gentle zephyrs I—Ponder on that strife Between th' immortal soul and mortal frame, That in the humble home of Want and Woe Rent the poor heart, when calm-eyed Science came, And whispered that dread word of doom I And, oh I Think then, how paled the cheek of wedded truth I What gushing grief, by manly pride supprest I How stricken down, th' all hoping heart of Youth, What sobs convulsed fond woman's faithful breast, While " The Doomed" murmured, " Lord, thy will be done But, must I be a burthen to the end ? Oh, Father I for the sake of thy dear Son, Provide the shelter, and raise up the friend I " The prayer was heard—and never earnest prayer, Swift winged by Faith, was known to miss the throne Of Grace and Mercy I Nor, arriving there, Has failed to bring the heavenly blessing down ; And good men's hearts were stirred, and the great need Of " The Incurable" engrossed the mind Of Science's darling son—lamented Reed ! The modern Howard I lover of his kind But still thy spirit, gen'rous Reed, survives ; " The Suffering Family," released from care, Dwell in the peaceful home that grows and thrives, Longing to shelter all The Cureless there. Father, and Friend, of this great charity, " Too soon for Friendship, not too soon for Fame," Thou wert called home I What tears were shed for thee! When to thyself the cureless sickness came, And the long labour of thy love was o'er, And Sorrow's Friend was borne, where Sorrow is no more Much has been done—but much remains to do; Nine-tenths, alas I of those who seek our home, The " Cureless," Hopeless I with their weight of woe (Shunning, with decent pride, the union's gloom), Implore, in vain, the shelter of the walls Of our most Christian Hospital, whose halls One day, we humbly hope, shall yet contain All the poor victims of a cureless pain, As Mrs. Smythies very justly remarks in her pre face, the charity for which she pleads has especial claims on public sympathy. " Great bodily pain is hard to hear, even when 'Hope, the charmer, lin gers still behind,' and when ' troops of friends' sur round the sufferer, and all that wealth and skill can do to soothe and solace is done. But what must be the anguish, the misery, the despair of those who are dismissed (through a dire necessity) from hos pitals devoted to the cure of disease, and who, hcuseless, penniless, friendless, find themselves dis missed as Incurable,' and know not whither to turn, or to which shelter to crawl, to await the per haps tardy but inevitable doom." As tending to alleviate such affliction, we most heartily wish the Royal Hospital every suceasa, and we have great pleasure in commending Mrs. Smythies' very graceful little poem, both for its individual claims upon our attention, and for the philanthropic sen timents which animate it. PARISH RATES AND GIN PALACES.—Hogarth painted side by side, and as connected by human communications, the pawn-shop, the gin-shop, and the workhouse, and George Cruikshank may do the same to day, and with equal truth to nature—that is to say, human nature. There is no place in the world where labour so abounds as in London; no place in the world where men, no matter of what class, if willing to be sober and useful, have so many chances of success in life, yet the poor,rates range from a law pence to many shillin g s in the pound, as we pass from parish to p arish, and we have always a population of paupers in our workhouscal es su ffi c i e nt to form a strong colony , p rovided their physiers. a nd moral stamina were in prop ortion to their nurub and God forbid we should make a w holesale charge of vice profligacy against the whole mass of unfortunates with which hospital and workhouse experiences makes men familiar.
