MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocii. There is no perceptible change in the general aspect of the money market this morning, 4 per cent. being the rate for three months' bills, and the demand is steadily maintained. A withdrawal of 200,000 sovereigns, for trans• mission to Brazils, took place from the Bank on Saturday. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week state that business generally has continued inactive. At Manchester there has been little or no change in the values of both cloths and yarns. Tne woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has continued dull, while at Birming ham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been no alteration of importance to record in the hard- ware department. The Natal Land and Colonization Company's re port to be presented at the forthcoming meeting of the shareholders, has been issued this morning. A dividend is proposed to be paid at the rate of ss. per share, free of income-tax, after writing off 10 per cent. of the preliminary expenses, leaving a surplus of £362 to be carried to profit and loss account. The total amount of debentures issued to 31st December last is £102,300. The existence of two classes of shares having given rise to great incon venience, and with a view to reconcile conflicting interests, the directors suggest to give to the holders of the 14,000 paid-up shares the option of receiving in exchange for each such share two others of £lO each, with £5 paid, charging for the advantage of the conversion 10s. for each new share. By this means the object will be attained of equalising all the shares as to the amount paid upon them, also to the distribution of divi dends and participation in the proceeds of sales of land. The operation, when carried out, will give an actual profit to the company of £14,000, which the direct ors propose to divide as a bonus amongst the shareholders. The company will derive the great additional advantage of increasing their uncalled capital from its present sum of £42,500 to £182,000, Two o'CLoczc. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were heavy at 69f 30c. The English Stock Market is dull and heavy, Consols having receded 1 per cent., viz., to 911 92 for money and to 921 4 kr the July account. Specu lation is inactive, and the dealings for transfer are limited. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 914 4 , and Exchequer Bills 4s. to 2s. dis. India Stock is 232 234 ; the 5 per Cent. Loan, 1074 108; and the 5i per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 115. The Foreign Market has presented a very de pressed appearance. Mexican have dropped to 321, 33, upon the unfavourable advices from Puebla. Greek have risen to 354,- 2 , and the Coupons to 1614 ; and Spanish Passive are 331,, 34 ; ditto Certificates, 111 12, being depressed ; and Turkish Consolides have declined to 501 Z.

Great Western and Midland have receded 55., and Lan cashire and Yorkshire, 10s. For the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there there has been a moderate inquiry without any material alteration in value. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares in most instances maintain previous rates.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On com paring these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 1O d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is wanly 3-10ths rer cent. dearer in London than in Paris. and the ex change on Lo n d on i s 13.51 per £1 sterling. gold at the English Mirt price is, therefore, about 6-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1631 to 164 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 484 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the 'United States. THE QUEEN.—The Stern Correspondance of Berlin announces that the Queen of England will arrive towards the end of the month of July at the Castle of Rosenau, near Coburg. Her Majesty Probably be ae. conapanied by Earl Russell, MARKETS—This Day. MARK LANE. The demand for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday was in a sluggish state. Good and fine qualities fairly supported previous rates; otherwise, the quotations were rather drooping. Barley, oats, beans, and peas ruled firm ; and in the value of flour no alteration took place. On the Continent the trade is steady for most descriptions of produce. The leading feature in our American advices is a somewhat improved inquiry for wheat for export. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were small, The i m p orts from a b roa d amoun t e d t o 18,149 quarters of wheat, 11,532 b arley, 35,985 oats, 2, 4 0 1 beans, 1,514 peas, 30 tare s , 1,480 linseed, 18,2 58 o il see d s , 375 sun dry seeds, 70 s acks, an d 8 ,663 barrels o f fl our , Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of English wheat were very moderate, and most samples came to hand in but middling, condition. Good and fine parcels, both red and white, were in fair demand, and last Monday's cur rency was steadily supported. Inferior and ill-conditioned produce, however, met a dull inquiry ; nevertheless, in m• st transactions, the rates current this day se'nnight were ob tained. With foreign wheat, ex ship and ex granary, the market was well supp ied, and there was a considerable supply of Dantzic. Generally speaking, the trade was in a sluggish state, yet no change took place in prices from Monday last. The dealings were in a great measure confined to Dantzic, and good and fine red and white American qualities. In floating cargoes of grain about an average business was transacted, at late rates. Notwithstanding that an increased supply of foreign barley was on offer, and that the accounts at hand this morning respecting the crop in this country were more satisfactory, the trade, although less active than on Mon day last, was tolerably firm as regards prices, and no quotable change was observed in the the value either of grinding or distilling samples, compared with this day se'nnight. There was a good demand for malt, and the quotations had an upward tendency, With foreign oats, the market was well supplied, and the show of home-grown qualities was seasonably good, Sales progressed slowly in all descriptions; nevertheless, good and fine corn supported last Monday's currency, whilst in ferior produce was without material change, The supply of beans was small. The demand was by no means active, yet prices ruled firm. Peas were in fair average request at full quotations. The show of samples was very moderate. The supply of barrel flour was somewhat restricted, but was in excess of last week ; and the trade ruled inactive on former terms. Other descriptions moved off slowly at late rates.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to-day, but its general condition was very middling. Sales, however, progressed steadily at very full p' ices. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning were moderately extensive, but, com pared with many previous weeks, their quality exhibited a falling off. Good and prime stock commanded a steac:y in quiry at an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81b; other wise the beef trade ruled firm at full currencies. The best Scots and crosses changed hands at 5s per 81b. There were a few beasts on offer from Lincolnshire in but middling condition. The receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam. bridgeshire comprised 2,300 Scots, crosses, and shorthorns; from other parts of England, including Lincolnshire. 550 various breeds; and from Scotland 140 Scots and crosses, There was a lull average number of sheep in the pens in fair condition. Nearly all breeds wre in good request at au improvement in the currencies of 2d per 81b. The gene ral top figure for Downs was 5s per 81b. Lambs were in good supply and steady request at full prices. The general currency ranged from 5s 4d to 6s 8d ; but a few very superior lambs sold at 7s per 81b. We have to report a slow sale for calves—the supply of which was moderate—at late rates.

Illustrative of the difficulty he had in learning anything, I remember an anecdote of General Seymour's. Seymour was learning to play on the flute, and Jackson (they were young lieutenants together) took it into his head that he also would learn. He went to the work with his accustomed vigour and perseverance, but he could not succeed in learning to play even the simplest air. He blew six months on the first bar of ' Love not,' and then gave it up in despair The story of his behaviour at Chepul tepec I have seen given, but incorrectly. It is thus : J ackson was a lieutenant in command of Magruder'sbattery. The 14th regular infantry was ordered to charge up the road, but the fire was heavy, and the men seemed disin clined to advance. Perceiving this, Jackson stepped out on the road, amid tee shower of missiles, exclaiming, ' You see my men, there is no danger, follow me l' Whereupon they immediately rushed forward to the charge. At various periods of his life he was afflicted with various forms of hypochondria. One of his manias was to believe that every thing he ate went down and lodged in his left leg. A. another time he would never eat except by the watch, at the precise moment; and he would take out his watch and lay it on the table, and eat at that moment. If the meal was be hindhand he would not eat at all. Probably camp life cured him of these eccentricities. Current reports have stated that Jackson was slovenly and rough in dress ; in action or on the march not distinguishable from the common soldier. This, at least lately, since he came into high command, seems to be incorrect. In the manuscript diary of a rebel engineer officer, which we found at the Chancellorhouse on our arrival, I find the following portrait of ' Stonewall' Jackson March 25—About dinner time Stonewall' Jackson came over to make a visit to the General. I went out to ride and met him going away in the road between headquarters and Mr. Garnett's. He was sweeping along at an easy gallop on a large handsome bay. Passed so quickly that I had not time to distinguish his features; nothing in him to recal the caricatures which popular veneration has delighted to make of the popular hero; handsomely dressed in full general's uniform, a jaunty cap, a full black beard, and a fine horse ; altogether a rather dazzling vision for one used to our slovenly headquarters.' Jackson's mode of at tack was peculiar, even in the tactical formation of his troops, and it was his own. He always threw his men in in column of battalions, about a two-company front, without skirmishers, resting on their colours, and with a yell pecu • liar to his men. He was a gallant foe, and I have heard many an officer in the army declare he would like nothing better, if we only had this affair settled up, than lo follow ' Stonewall' Jackson into fight. His personal loss to the rebel cause is immense; but he has trained many able divi sion commanders such as Early and the two Hills." commencement of last season. The public sales of colonial wool were brought to a close on Wednesday. Owing to the extensive demand on French account they passel off with more activity than was anticipated, and during the gret.ter portion of their progress the decline in prices was confined to inferior qualities, which shlwed a fall of dto Id per lb. compared with last series. The present arrivals for next sales, which will commence about July 16, already amount to 50,000 bales. SEEDS. Linseed continues firm, at full quotations.

THE IRISH ELECTIONS.—The polling for New Ross and Kinsale took place on Saturday, and for the for mer borough, Colonel Tottenham, the Conservative candi date, was returned by the narrow majority of two. We havd not received a statement of the close of the poll at Kinsale, but at two o'clock Sir George Colthurst, a sup porter of. Lord Palmerston's Government, was twelve votes ahead of his opponent, Mr. Fitzgibbon. THE PRINCE OF WALES AND THE TURF.—If his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales be willing to cultivate the most beautiful part of our racing system, so as to add utility to the personal pleamire and popularity he will attain, then we say let him turn his attention to the breeding of thorough-bred stock. There is a magnificent opening, which may be entered upon under the best auspices—the good wishes of a whole people. The most skilful advice, we are assured, would be at the Prince's ser vice. He is surrounded by gentlemen of experience and of practical and theoretical knowledge. The racecourse has learnt to do little enough, as it now exists, to insure the ful filment of its original intention ; it improves remarkably the condition and pockets of some of its votaries, but it fails to affect, in the minutest degree, the general capability of the hack or the hunter which we ride. It is worse than useless, for its perpetuation of bad horses is mischievous; and there is perhaps nothing in the world about which a betting man knows so little as about the horse which he backs, if we regard its quality or form.—The Field. THE DEMOLITION OF OLD ST. PAUL'S.—The demolition of the old walls was a work of extreme difficulty, and the height of the principal tower (200 feet) so terrified the workmen that they refused to encounter the risk of pulling it down. Wren soon made the work prac ticable. He caused a hole to be dug, about four feet wide, at the base of the north-west pillar, the tower being sup ported by four columns, each 14 feet in diameter, and then wrought a hole two feet square in the centre of the pillar, in which ho placed a box containing 181bs. of powder. A cane was fixed to the box with a match, and the aperture securely closed. The train was now to be fired, and Wren anxiously watched the result, which was surprising. The explosion of that small portion of gunpowder not only lifted up the whole angle of the tower, with the two arches resting upon it, but also the two adjoining arches of the aisles. The explosion seemed deliberate enough; first the walls cracked to the top, and visibly lifted up the whole about 9in., which, falling backward, split into a vast ruin, without the least scattering. It was some seconds before the mass ofmasonry, opening in several places, began to emit smoke. The shock of that great weight, falling from a height of 200 feet, alarmed theiLondoners with the expectation of an earthquake. A second explosion took place under the direc tion of an assistant, who, disobeying Wren's orders, put a greater quantity of powder, and was !esa careful in securing it. The necessary effect followed, but a block of stone was projected to the opposite side of the churchyard, and falling into a bookseller's balcony, did considerable mischief. The further use of gunpowder being forbidden by authority , Wren was forced to use other expedients. A. batteringirh was constructed. He caused a mast , 40 f t lon g , to be shods wit iron at the thickest end, and being strengthened .withelbleadrthe ferules, it was set to work. Thirty men ma chine against the walls , an d beat a whole day,'' without the least visible result. He encouragedthemto otosepirlloacteceadt. On the second day, th e wall was observed t h e ground.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner (3onlburn.) IN RE IV. P. WAUGH. To-day was appointed for hearing a petition by Colonel Waugh for leave to surrender under his . bankruptcy, which took place in April, 185 7, and the bankrupt was proclaimed in January, 3858, for not surrendering, and he kept out of the country until a short time since, when he was arrested, and is now detained at the suit of the London and Eastern Banking Company for a sum of £50,000. Mr. Roxburgh appeared for the bankrupt, Mr. Linklater for the assignees, and Mr. C. E. Lewis on behalf of the offi cial manager of the London and Eastern Bank to oppose. The proceedings were now commenced by reciting the petition and affidavits. The petition has already been pub lished, and the first question which now arose was whether it was sufficient to support. The case did not commence till nearly one o'clock, and was proceeding, and likely to last a long time. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day OLD COURT. The June Session of the Central Criminal Court com menced this day before the Lord Mayor, Recorder, and other city officials. The calender contains the names of 105 prisoners for trial, amongst which there is one charge of murder, one for administering poison, three for arson, nine for burglary, 11 for uttering counterfeit coin, nine for forgery, and two for manslaughter. _ _ _ The Recorder, in charging the jury, said the number of prisoners for trial was no more numerous than usual; but the calender contained some charges of a very serious de scription. There was an indictment for murder against a prisoner, named Ledbitter, but the material question would be the state of mind of the prisoner, with which they had nothing to do. With respect to the charge awainst a pri soner named Webb, who was indicted for killing his wife, there was one vary important point in the evidence they would have to consider, that was the evidence of the medical gen tleman, which was in effect that he could not tell whether the death of the woman was occasioned by a fall or a blow. With respect to the charge against Frances Paxton, who stood charged with feloniously administering to one Eliza beth Roberts a quantity of a certain deadly poison—viz., oil of vitriol—with intent to murder her, the prisoner had stated that she had been induced to commit the offence by the advice of her husband ; but it was only fair to that person to state that there was nothing in the evidence to justify the assertion. There were five or six indictments against a prisoner named VTade for assaulting a number of women. The learned judge having stated the main facts of the case to the jury—which have already been reported during the examination of the prisoner at Bow street Police -court-- said they had better return true bills in all the cases. The grand jury then retired to their room. NE W COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Robert Bishop was indicted for feloniously uttering coun terfeit coin. The case was clearly proved against the prisoner, as was also a previous conviction for the same offence. The learned judge sentenced him to four years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ALLEGED HOCUSSING AND ROBBING AN ITALIAN. — Sarah Melvin, a young woman, described as a prostitute, living at 4, Upper Grafton-street, Fitzroy-square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch and chain and a £5 Bank of England note, the property of an Italian valet, named Daniel Domenigue, living at 39, Inverness-terrace, and John Pullins, a tailor, living in the same house,was charged with being concerned in the robbery Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Fisher for the defence. Mr. Albert interpreted the evidence of the prosecutor, an Italian. Mr. Lewis said he was instructed to prosecute the pri soners, who were charge with robbing a foreigner, and, he believed, it would turn out that they had drugged him. The prosecutor had been to a place of amusement on Fri - day evening, and went to the house in Upper Grafton street, and there a female suggested that some wine should be sent for, and some champagne was brought, and the pro secutor took out his purse to pay for it; and after taking out his purse to do so, and having a glass or two of the champagne, did not know what more occurred till Saturday evening, when he left the house in a state of nudity, his clothes being taken away as well as his property, in all of the value of £l9. He then consulted Sergeant Lambert, who went to the house and found the prosecutor's clothes under the safe, and succeeded in getting the prosecutor's watch and chain. In a cupboard in the room Sergeant Lambert also found a small bottle, which there was reason to believe had contained the drug with which prosecutor had been hocussed. Prosecutor said—On Friday night last I went to the London Pavilion with a male friend, and after leaving there at one in the morning, went to No, 4, Upper Graf ton-street. The female prisoner was upstairs with another female. On going into the house I had three £5 Bank notes, 5 sovereigns and some silver. A little time after some wine was brought, champagne. After I drank some it made ma ill. I had pains in the stomach, and my head had great pain in it. I remained in the house till the evening. All the while I was in the house I was very ill, having been before in good health. I left the house with out my clothes. 'Whilst I was in the room the male pri soner came in. He brought the wine in. I afterwards at the police-station saw my purse. One £5 note and the sovereigns were gone. Mr. Fisher having cross-examined the prisoner at some length, Charles Marham, 70 E. said—l was told that a foreigner had been turned out of a house. He was taken into a public-house by the landlord, as he had only a flannel shirt and trowsers. I then got a cab and took him to the sta tion. He seemed as if palsied. He was sober. Sergeant Lambert, 12 E, said— On Saturday evening I went to No. 4, Upper Grafton-etreet, and saw the prisoner, and told him I was a police-sergeant, and that I had come to make inquiries about a foreigner. Prisoner said, '• There has been a foreigner here, but ho was mad, and I was obliged to turn him out of the house," On asking him how he came to the house, he said he supposed that he came with two girls in the course of the night. On telling him that he had lost his clothes, a watch and chain, and some notes and gold. he said, "It's a lie—he has not been robbed. His clothes are up stairs, and I • believe the girl who came in with him has his watch." On speaking of two £5 notes, he said, " he has not been robbed of two. I have one which was given to me by the girl, and I intend to keep it." Oa asking what for, he said, "For my trouble and the doctor" (it appears that a doctor was called in to the prosecutor by the prisoners). On afterwards seeing the female prisoner and speaking about the prosecutor's gold watch and chain, she said, "Yes, I have them, and I'm —if I don't keep them. Before the foreign -- shall have it, I shall smash it." On speaking about the £5 note, she said, " she had given it to her landlord to pay for the doctor and his trouble." On going upstairs I found prosecutor's clothes, and the prisoners said they would see me before they would give up the watch and chain and note. I then got assistance and took them to the station, but not without some resistance at first. At the station the prisoners refused to give up the watch and note, and I had to take them by force from them. By Mr. Lewis—Prosecutor was in a state of insensibility, but I cannot state what from. Doctor said he had not the slightest doubt the prisoner had been drugged. The prisoners were then remanded for the medical evi dence; Mr. Tyrwhitt stating that he would take two bail for the man. THAMES. A VERY DANGEROUS FREAK.—Joseph Burns, aged 52, a seaman, belonging to the ship Copenhagen, lying in the West India Dock was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with setting fire to the bed-clothes in a house, No. 5, Gun-lane, Limehouse, and assaulting Emily Saunders. It appeared that the prisoner was, in nautical lwanhgoutsooge, half seas over and fell in with the complainant, who him fo k r him to her lodgings in Gun-lane. directly.

Mr. Woolrych asked the complainant if she were sure the prisoner set the bed-clothes on fire for the purpose The complainant--Yes, tit ; he took up the lighted candle and put it to the bed-clothes and my dress. Other witnesses were examined, who said the room in which the fire took place was in a state of great confusion, the whole of the small articles destroyed and the furniture broken.

A special meeting of this company was held in Edinburgh on Thursday, for the purpose of consi dering fire bills now before Parliament ; Mr. Hodg son, M.P., presided. The CHAIRMAN stated that out of the five bills only two were as yet in a condition to enable the company to put steam vessels on the passage be tween Silloth and Belfast, and the Esk ley Railway Bill. With regard to the first measure, it was intended to take powers t o organise steam communication from Silloth to Liverpool, Dublin, and other places ; but the House of Lords' committee had only granted power as regarded Belfast, where the company would open up a new traffic, and not become the rivals of any other company. The directors were quite satisfied to accept of this limited power. The Bak Valley Bill gave powers to a company to make a short railway from Ebkbank (Dalkeith) to Springfield, and to the North British to work the line. The differences with the Border Union shareholders had been settled bythe intrcduction of a clause into the Wandsworth Railway Bill, providing that the holders of Border Union ordinary shares should re ceive one-half more than the dividend on North British ordinary stock, until the latter received 4 per cent., when the addition should stop, and above 6 per cent. both should proceed pari passu. The directors had great satisfaction in announcing the decision of the House of Commons committee on the bill promoted by this company for a new line from Edinburgh to Dunfermline and Perth and com peting measures. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Company had by that cecision been empowered to make a line from Ratbo to South Queensferry; this company to have absolute running powers from Edinburgh to South Queensferry. The ferry was to be mutual to the two companies, and this company had received power to construct the line from North Queensferry to Dunfermline, and also the extension line to Perth, using so much of the Kinross railways as was required. A great outlay of capital had been saved by this decision of the committee, to use the line from Edinburgh to Ratho, and the absolute character of the running powers to Queens ferry, which the North British had been found entitled to, rendered the line almost, if not quite, as good as if they had got power to construct their o wn separate line to Queensferry. The committee had also given power to construct certain small branch lines near Edinburgh. He moved approval of the Silloth Steampacket Bill. Mr. LEISI3MAN seconded the motion, which, after the rejection of an amendment, was carried by a large majority. The Esk Valley Bill was also approved, and the meeting adjourned for a week to consider the remaining bills. DUNDEE AND ARBROATH. The half-yearly meeting was held at Dundee on Wednesday ; Mr. G. Duncan in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN stated that the company was working most harmoniously with the Scottish North-Eastern; and the Bill to amalgamate the two companies was expected to come betore Parlia ment in a few days. Mr. HARRIS seconded the motion, and said that the amalgamation would add to the convenience of the public and the economy of working. The report was adopted, and the retiring direct tors were re-elected. A dividend at the rate of 74 per cent. per annum was declared for the past half-year, and the pro ceedings terminated.
