MONEY MARKET AND COMBORCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK: The reduction that has lately taken place in the floating balances of bankers and others has mate rially changed the aspect of the motley market, and discounters evince less disposition to negotiate commercial securities without receiving a large Marginal profit. The inquiry for accommodation continues moderately active, and the quotations for the best three months' bills have ranged from 715.- per cent. No bullion operations were reported at the Bank Yenterday. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have appointed Thursday next a special settling day in the shares of the Anglo-Egyptian Bank for trans. actions entered into on and after August 6, but not to be marked at present in the official lists. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce :Markets during the last few days has continued 4 ther dull ; sugar, however, has maintained pre vious rates, while superior descriptions of coffee have been in demand at full prices. In rice, cocoa, fruit, and spices there has been little change of im portance ; but considerable excitement has prevailed In the Tallow Market owing to speculative dealings for forward delivery. The official statement relating to the trade and commerce of the United Kingdom for the past seven months up to 31st July have just been pnb tahed, from which it appears that the total de clared value of the exports during that period amounted to £92,441,950 against 75,663,037 in the like period of 1863, showing an increase of £16,778,913. The chief increase has been in coals and culm, cotton manufactures, cotton yarn, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares and cutlery, linen manufacture, woollen and worsted manufactures, sheep and lambs' wool. The imports have been larger as regards live ani. orals, raw cotton, flax, provisions, quicksilver, and sheep and lambs wool, flour, brandy, tobacco, and Wine, but smaller in raw silk, tallow, cocoa, coffee, torn, pepper, and sugar. The shipping accounts for the same period show an increase of 136,962 tons employed in the foreign trade for the entries inwards, as also of 162,277 tons for the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade during the above period 23,564 tons more were employed than in the corresponding period of the previous year for the entries inwards, and 82,525 tons for the clearances outwards. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cents. were 66t, 30c. The English Stock Market has been subjected to a severe depression to-day consequent upon the few dealings which have taken place. The Funds re- , ceded 1 per cent. soon atter the commencement of buclincss, and Consols are 881 for money, and 884 i for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 88,1 ; Exchequer Bills, 20s. die. ; India 5 per Cents., 103! 104; and Enfaced 4 per Cents., 92. In the Foreign Market there is very little anima* tion, and prices are tolerably firm, Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 70 4; do. Consolides, 501 ; Mexi can, 281 ; do.

The arrangement of the half -monthly account has been the principal business transacted in the Rail way Shar© Market today, and prices have not Varied to any important extent. London, Chatham, and Dover have declined £l, and North Western and South Eastern each 53. ; while Lancashire and Yorkshire have improved ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without Material change. Bank and Miscellaneous shares are very dull, and barely sustain former quotations. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT TO PUBLIC COMPANIES, Two cases occurred this morning in which the law governing the legal transactions of public companies was positively laid down by the judge. In the first case the London General Omnibus Company sued a Mr. M'Evoy to recover damages. One of tbo company's managers attended, and his Honour asked where was the company ? Manager . I appear on its behalf. I ens not an attorney. Tho company generally employe an attorney, but this is a small case. His Honour—A public company can only appear under seal or by attorney. Do you appear under seal ? Manager—No, but I can soon get it. His Honour—The case must be struck out. Plaintiffs are nousuited. In the second case, the London and South-Western Rail way Company v. Robson, a clerk attended to prove an ad. mission of the debt. his Honour repeated his formor remarks, and decided that a public company must appear before the court in a proper form. Upon this the Clerk at once instructed Mr Buchanan, wha enjoys an extensive and respectable practice in this Court, and the case being quickly proved, costs were allowed. iUDGMENT DEBT QI7ESTION..--LAWRENCE V: JONES. This was a commitment summons, and ;Mr Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, defendant being a corn meter of Tower-street. The defendant admitted that he earned £7O to £BO per annum. Mr Buchanan informed the Court that the defendant had already been sent to prison for this debt, and he seemed determined not to pay this money. It was really a very groat hardship on the plaintiff to be kept out of her money for so long a period, and perhaps the Court would protect her. His Honour pointed out to the defendant that he could not do any good by going to Prison, and that unless he made some arrangement with plaintiff he would be sent to prison for the longest period set out by tho act of Parlia meut,—Adjourned. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN RB GOLDRING. This was a meeting for proof of debts and choice of assignees in the matter of W. H, Goldring, described as of Lombard-street, and Woburn-place, Russell-square, mer. chant. Mr Phillips appeared in support of the petition, which had been filed by Messrs Oppenheimer and Co., Watling street, mei chant, who are creditors for about £l,OOO. The bankrupt had traded extensively with the United States of America. The assignees were chosen, as it had been arranged that the proceedings should Le carried on out of court. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALLS'—I,AsT EVENING. Both settling and betting were very qii:et this afternoon. Very little was got through in tha former branch of busi ness, and as far as speculation ou events was con cerned the bulk of the transactions sr ere confined to Master Richard for the St, Leger and Olmar for the Derby. For the former Blair Athol had decidedly the call of General Peel, and 10 to 1 would have baen taken to money about The Miner, while John Scott's presumed representative, Baragah, was in demand at 13 to 1 atter 1,000 to 70 had been laid two or three times. Some sensation was created by the " posting" of a nice little knot at " Welshers" under the following names, each of whom victimised a gallant captain at Ascot for the amount appended to his name : Last, £6OO ; J. Browne, £6O ; Johnson, £4O ; Nilson, £4O; Nlaloney, alias ; C. J, Blasco (this sounds very like Belasco), .V,O; Allen, alias H. Adams, £200; and H ume , £l7o—in all £1,200. It is satisfactory, however, to those who would wish to further the ends of justice to know that this band of brothers is well known, and that when nest they present themselves fer admission to the ring their reception will be unpleasantly warm. The tone of the market on future events will be gathered from the , subjoined list of closing prices:— THE ST. LEGER. sto 2 agst Mr W. l'Anson's Blair Athol (taken) sto 2 agst Lord Glasgow's Gen.

Harvest operations throughout the county of Sussex are now rap:dly drawing to a close, and it is anticipated that in a few days longer, with a con tinunnca of the present highly favourable weather, the whole of the crops will have been securely garnered. The hay crop was scarcely an average one, owing to the long continued drought, and the price of this commodity is on the rise, with the prospett of still higher figures as winter approaches. The great bulk of the wheat crop has now been safely housed, and where thrashing has taken place it has proved of excellent quality, having in several instances produced 541 b per bushel, with a yield of ten sacks per acre. On the whole, it is considered that there will be more than a full average crop of this particular grain. Bar:ey has not been very extensively circulated in Sussex of late years, but that sown on the best lands is highly spoken of, and likely to turn out well. Oats are rather an even crop, those early sown promising well— whereas those put into the soil late are rather short in straw, thin, and of light quality. The quality of the potatoes generally is good, although the bulbs, owing to tho want of moisture, are unusually small. The late rains have effected a wonderful im provement in cereals of all descriptions, which now look fresh and. pr omising, although in some quar ters the rains have come too late to be of much ser vice. The pr ospects of sheep keep during the win ter are much more encouraging than they were a few weeks ago—and should genial weather be now experienced, with a mild autumn, ample provision may yet be obtained for the ensuing winter and spring —the earth, from thelong - continued drough being in a condition to insure quick vegetation.

He wont to the ward where she was lying and abused her, and the nurses put him out, and called witness, who after requesting him to go repeatedly, put him out three or four times, the defendant as often re turning. Defendant then seized him, and, throwing him down, hurt him very seriously. Defendant was then taken into custody. James Badman, 355 B, said that at 20 minutes past 4 yesterday afternoon he was standing at the Duke of Wel lington's statue, when he saw the defendant go up th hospital steps when complainant held out his hand to pre vent his further progress. Defendant them laid hold of him by each arm, and, twisting him round, throw him down, falling on him. Complainant was insensible, and in that state was carried into the hospital. Ho remained 1081 I unconscious for some time. Defendant said he was very sorry. He had not intended to hurt the man, but merely laid hold of him to prevent him falling. Mr Arnold—l am willing to suppose you did not intend to injure the porter, but I think the offence of going drunk to a hospital, disturbing the patients, and assaulting an official very disgraceful, and I shall commit you for H days to hard labour. THAMES. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COMMERCIAL TILL. YELLER.—William Vanse Feast, of Askendale, Yorkshire, commercial traveller, and aged 31, was brought before Mr Partridge, on a warrant granted by Mr Woolryoh in January last, charged with feloniously embezzling upwards of £lOO, which he had received for and on account of Messrs Denton and jutsuro, his employers, of Bow-com mon, Middlesex. Mr Muliens, of the firm of R. and N. S. Muliens, solioi• tors, conducted the prosecution, and said the prisoner was apprehended at Liverpool by Daniel Smith, an officer of the Thames Police Court. He called Mr Alfred Sydney Jutsum, of New Broad-street, Bow common, who said he was an oil, grease, and varnish manufacturer. He had one partner. In the month of November, 1862, the prisoner was engaged by the firm as clerk and traveller in the country, and he signed an agree ment, dated Nov. 13, 1862. About the middle of August, 1863, the prisoner left London to proceed on the Leeds journey. It was part of his duty to remit to him a weekly report of the moneys he received on his journey, and was to remit his moneys within 24 hours after collection. About the 22d of August he received from the prisoner the report produced, marked B. It showed in favour of the firm a balance of 14 7s. On the sth of September, the prisoner sent him a report marked C, showing a balance due to the firm of $55 38 6d. In that report there was a sum of L 25 17s 6d stated b have been received from W. Jonas Steward, living near Leeds. The prisoner did not return to the counting house of the firm after he left in the middle of August. Witness had since been in communication with his cus tomers. He had received the prisoner's receipt, now produced, for £l3 16s 2d, and dated September 9, 1863. It:was signed, "For Denton and Jutsum, W. S. Feast." He had never received the money. The prisoner ac counted for it on the last day of September, 1863, but never paid it. He had not seen prisoner or received any remittance of money since the 12th, except cash L2O, re mitted in half notes. In cross-examination by the prisoner—Mr Jutsum said, I am not the principal partner in the firm. The principal partner is Charles Joseph Denton. We trade as Denton and Jutsum. You have been in my service as traveller, on and off, nine or ten years. I gave you notice to leave our service on September 24, 1863, and the notioe expired at the end of the week. I did not telegraph to you to come to London. I wrote to you on August 31, and also on Sep tember 16 and 17. You did not come to our office. I did not see you. You wrote to Mr Denton to ask for a refe rence, not for a re-engagement. The prisoner—That is the reason I am prosecuted. Mr Mullins asked for a remand, and said the prisoner's defalcations amounted to £lOO. Mr Partridge remanded the prisoner until Tuesday next. MARKETS--This Day. HAY ➢IARKZTS.

In the North and East hidings during the past week the progress of harvest work has been rapid. There has been very little interruption from the weather, only a trifling :shower or two having fallen. The temperature of the week has been low, with a keen north-easter blowing and frotsy nights, on Friday night, in low .districts, even damaging the dahlias and vegetable marrows, 8...7e. The crops during the week have not ripened much, and farmers, fearing rain, have mown them rather green in some cases. Wherever it has been practi cable the fields have been cleared, and a journey through the district now shows new 'wheat stacks more frequent than is generally supposed. As more acquaintance is being made by farmers with the actual character of the crops, Vaere are very few of them who now grumble abeeat the deficiency, but as a rule they admit the wheat to be an average crop. Barley, on alt hands, is stated to be the best. Oats however are generally reported ligbt. Potatoes are small, but little gill be done among them till the corn harvest is out of the way. The turnips have made no progress, and the deficient crop is a great cause of anxiety upon sheep farms especially. One wold farmer has not an acre left out of 90—all are killed by the drought. The pastures are so brown and burnt up that at a distance they can with diffi culty be distinguished from the corn stubbles. The want of water necessitates leading from the rivers for stock, and new oats are being used as fodder for cattle in some places. The first fall of rain of any value to the root crops and grass lands was during Saturday night and Sunday, when very nice showers fell, and there is every indication of more. Rain to the pastures and roots would far more benefit the farmer than any temporary interruption to the liar• vest would do him damage. At the time of writing the atmosphere is very still and moist for the first time for many weeks. Charing-Cross Railway Refreshment Rooms. One portion of the extensive pile of building for the Charing-cross Hotel is now so far completed as to be ready for opening in a few weeks. It consists of a noble room on the ground floor in the Villiers -street front connecting with the railway station, and it is to be appropriated to refresh '. ment rooms. In connection with this department the di rectors entertain opinions which will be considered as heterodox by some other boards—they think that a refresh ment room at a railway station should be what its name implies, and not a mtckery and a delusion to railway tra vellers. We believe that the public will regard with no small favour this bold innovation upon a state of things which has already existed too long. It is strange that it should have required the experience of so many years to convince sensible men, as directors of railways are generally presumed to be, of the absurdity of a system which con demned travellers to the alternative of hunger or indigestion, and which was alike mischievous to the revenues of the companies, and to the health and comfort of travellers. All this, we are glad to say, is now to be changed; brighter days are in store for the traveller on the South-Eastern, and let us hope that, their example followed by other lines, we may soon witness a complete reform in the matter of refreshment rooms. The experiment of supplying good, wholesome, and nutritious food and drink is about to be made at Charing-cross by Messrs. Spiera and Pond, who come to us from the Anti podes. These gentlemen, who were enterprising enough to engage the team of cricketers and took them out to Australia, who have been negotiating for some time with Mr Charles Dickens for a series of readings in the gold and weci producing colonies of Australia, and who, it is rumoured, have designs of a similar character upon either Mr Spurgeon or Tom Sayers, will not, we are assured, be found wanting in the enterprise neces sary for a railway refreshment room at Charing-cross. The same firm have, we believe, also entered into arrangements with the London, Chatham, and Dover Company for the supply of refreshments at all stations on their line. The arrangements made are mutual in character, the companies receiving, instead of a fixed rent for the stations, a certain percentage of the gross receipts, thus giving to each party to the contract an interest in the extension of the business to be done. The contractors will endeavour to attract customers by the quality and price of their goods supplied, and the companies will assist by giving facilities for carry ing on the business.—Railway News.

The Court has decided that as the Catholic Church imposes celibacy on the priests ; that as cense+ quently a citizen who enters into holy orders engages never to marry, and that as it is on the faith of such engagement that the Church authorises him to exercise his ministry and to receive confessions, which he might abuse if he had not laid aside all hope of ever again returning into the world, the officers of the etat-civil of the said communes were jus tified in refusing to comply with the application made to them by the Abbi; the plaintiff, therefore, is nonsuited and condemned to pay all the costs.—Galignane, THE ENDOWMENT FUND OF THE CORPS OF COM MISSIONAIRES. —ln March last the captain an• nounced that for this purpose a sum of £3,000 was neces sary, although men of business allege that the institution is more than self-supporting.

THE GAME SEASON.—Partridge shooting com mences on Thursday next, Sept. 1, and there is every pro spect of good sport for the gunner. In consequence of the dry weather the season has been very favourable for hatching and rearing both pheasants and partridges. The latter are numerous and strong, and the former are also plentiful and strong on the wing. Some covies in Wor cestershire could fly well before the end of June. The great scarcity of cover, however, has made the birds un usually wild, and sportsmen will have to walk a good deal in order to make up a " bag." Hares and rabbits are plen tiful, the season being also favourable for their increase. The harvest is finished everywhere, so that there will be no interruption to the sport.

The Peace Movement in New Yo: k. The following is the chief portion of the article of the New Turk Herald, published on the 13th inst., advocating a six months' armistice and the appointment of Federal commissions to proceed to Richmond with a view to arranging conditions of pcace:—" In the present state of effe.irs, if we con do nothing more, it is all important to the snfety of the country and the administration that we should place the leaders of the rebellion clearly in the wrong before their own peoplo and the civilised world, and the Government as clearly in the right before all the people of the loyal States in the fur ther prosecution of this dreadful war. We can do this through a special embassy of three peace com missioners to Richmond, if we can do no more. We believe, however, that through a movement of this kind, comprehending an armistice of six months, and a convention of all the States, subject to such conditions and ratifications as may be hereafter agreed upon, we can secure a permanent peace upon the basis of the Union and the Constitu tion. Let us suppose, for instance, that Mr Lin' coin assuming this responsibility for the sake of peace and a ' decent respect for the opinions of man kind,' has detailed three peace commissioners to Richmond with these simple propositions :—First, for an armistice for six months; and, second, for a convention of all the States, to consist of one deleg a t e from each Congressional district, and two additional delegates at large from each State; and that said convention, thus constituted, shall meet, say in Baltimore, on the first Monday in December next, to consider the ways and means for peace— could anything, in any event, but the greatest ad. vantage result to the Union side of the house ? No. Rejected or accepted, th e loya l S ta t es an d the Government have everything to gain and nothing to lose in the undertaking. If Jefferson Davis, his Cabinet and Congress, accept the armistice and the convention, we shall still retain under the first our blockade, and all the forts an d places wrested from the enemy as now held by our l an d and naval forces; and if the convention shall co me t o nothing we shall be in a position to resume th e war with all, and more than all, the ad van t ages w hi ch we now com mand, But we have g rea t f a ith i n the opinion that the representatives of the rebellious States, in being brought into familiar council with those of the loyal States, where they will be relieved of the despotic authority of Davis, will be so charmed with the suspension of the war that they will find a treaty of peace and reunion, satisfactory to the North and to the South, an easy achieve ment. It is probable that Davis may reject this convention ; it is possible that he may reject the armistice, or couple its acceptance with prosperous conditions of Southern independence ; but the overtures suggested will compel him to show his hand, and if he shall flatly refuse to listen to any propositions of peace, expect upon the basis of a Southern Confederacy, all doubts, all divisions, and all discords among the people of the loyal States will bo at an end. The copperhead peace faction will be disarmed and powerless for furthermischief, the North will be united, and divisions and dissen sions will break out in the South. Let it be made to appear to those people, in their present crippled, exhausted, and desperate position, under Davis, that the Government does not seek their subjuga tion to an abolition idea, or their destruction, but their reclamation and salvation in the Union, and President Lincoln will soon realise the immense advantages of this peace movement, It will serve the country and make sure his re-election, accepted or rejected at Richmond; but, short of some con- , cession to public opinion, he may now even read the handwriting on the wall. Surely, after having been so far led astray and betrayed, as Mr. Lincoln has been, by such treacherous guides as Ben. Wade and Winter Davis, he must now be in a frame of mind to listen to good advice." FRENCH ACADEMY OF ►SCIENCES.—At the last sitting a paper was received from Dr Gaillouete, on the insufficiency of the means commonly employed against the bite of mad dogs and the sting of venomous reptiles. in his opinion, cupping effected on the wound is greatly to be pl - eferred, The secretary of the Academy, however, re. marked that cupping had already been tried and a report been presented on the subject to the Academy,in which it was shown that in most cases the effect of this operation was only suspensive, that is, that it prevented the absorption of the virus until other therapeutic agents could be procured to destroy it. M. Chautard communicated certain results obtained by him in experimenting on currents of induction traversing rarified gasses. On examining the spectra pro duced in such cases, when the gaseous matter was raised to a state of incandescence by making a current obtained from Ruhmkorft's machine pass through it, M. Chautard finds that the red and brilliant light emanating from a tube filled with hydrogen is gradually transformed into a livid greenish with tint; the spectrum, instead of presenting three magnifi cent bands,red, green,and violet respectively,as usual consists only of a very pale green band. The tube acquires no heat during the process. In nitrogen also various colours disap pear, the red and orande first, the violet last. In carbonic acid the bands are very numerous under the influence of an ordinary current, but if the tension of the circuit be dimi nished, the same absorption of the extreme shades takes place. M. des Essarts sent in a paper on a method of his for transmitting the oscillating power of the waves of tho sea to certain apparatuses placed on the beach, which may be substituted for steam engines in the various workshops of arsenals. LOVE IN A DRAPER'S SHOP.—In an accident that has just occurred in Liverpool we have another evidence of how the powerful promptings of a "tender" heart control the more reflective senses of the mind. In a rather extensive business establishment in Liverpool, where several assistants are engaged, there might have been seen, a week or two since, a young man of command ing deportment and of agreeable features, who gave effect to his avocation behind the counter in a manner that was at once inviting to the customers and conducive to the success of his master. With many purchasers he became a favourite, but with one in particular. More than once— sometimes mere than twice—in the course of a week, a car riage would be drawn up at the shop door, from which would emerge a lady, apparently between 30 and 40 years of age— tall, of delicate appearance, but with an outline of features that unmistakably indicated an aristocratic descent. If the young gentleman —we say young, for he was scarcely 21 years of age —was not at his accustomed position behind the counter upon her entering the shop, she made the most urgent inquiries after him, desiring that he should attend to her and no ono else. The worthy proprietor was always too happy to comply with her desire, for she was one of those first-rate customers that settled a good ledger account once in six months without the allowance of the ordinary discount. The favourite salesman was soon at his post serving the lady, and though a goodly number of articles might be disposed of, there appeared to exist a " peculiar something" in the " business transaction" which in the course of time looked very much like a warm cordie ality of sentiment, and a reciprocity of feeling and idea bordering upon mutual attachment. Of coarse the young man was "chaffed" exceedingly by his envious shopmates, who were wont to ejaculate in their strange surmisings that it was a sort of proceeding "no fellah could understand." Since one day last week, however, the buxom stripling has become non est as far as the establishment is concerned, while the face of the lady as well has not presented itself within the visionary region of the other assistants or their employer. It is stated that a letter was addressed by the young man to his mother on the eve prior to his leaving stating " that he had left h; ; old place to better himself elsewhere. Fortune had sm . denly smiled upon him in a wondrous manner !" 119 assured his mother also that, "the next time she con fronted her darling boy' she would see him a gentleman of the first stamp. He should then decline to say where he was gone, but he trusted she would not be nervous on that account, as she would hear from him again shortly." On inquiries being instituted it was discovered that the lady too had been missing for several days from her home. No traces up to Thursday last —nearly a week having then elapsed—had been discovered of her whereabouts, She has been a widow for five years and is without encumbrance. She has been residing in a rather picturesque village in Lancashire since her widowhood, and is in receipt of a liberal income, Under present circumstances we omit the namesNL NEUTRALISATION R theALpiasrAtTieiso.--N OF MlLlTARYLieerpoolCou Courier.
