ffONEYMARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The change that came ever the aspect of monetary Mrs yesterday has produced a very favourable ne in the Money Market. The symptoms, which .fore were hardly discernible, are making them- Ives felt :n full force. Capital is not so abun ,nt, and the public are not so eager to obtain ac• mmodation, lest higher rates should prevail. The . oktrs have therefore been compelled to offer the ncession of per cent, by granting assistance on e best bills at 81 per cent., but the boon is still o small to induce the commercial classes to come r ward and ask for more aid than they immediately quire, A further sum of £25,000 in gold was taken into e Bank yesterday. Buaness in the Foreign and Colonial Produce arkets during the last few days has been very active. Sugars have declined about 6d per cwt., hile the operations in tea have been limited at tout former rates. Coffee has been in moderate quest at steady prices, while in rice, fruit, salt are, and tallow, the dealings have shown no mate -91 alteration as regards values.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A TICKET-OF-LEAVE MAN AT WORK AGAIN.—Two men, named William Steed and George Gavin, the former a ticket-of-leave man, were charged with attempting to steal a watch of the value of £5, from the person of George Duddy, a bootmaker, of Hatwood-street, Camden Town. llenry Dawson, 201 A, while in company of Shrives, 826, last night, about 11 o'clock, saw the prisoners in the Haymarket. They walked as far as Charing-Cross, and stopped a gentleman and spoke to him. The gentleman walked on, and the prisoner then went back to where Daw son first saw them, and afterwards to Regent-street, when they stopped in front of the prosecutor, and asked him the way to Soho-square. Dawson walked towards the pri soners when be saw the prosecutor seize them and call out " Give me my watch—polico." Tho prisoner Steed having while speaking to prosecutor drawn his watch out of his pocket. Dawson then took Steed into custody, and Gavin was taken by Shriver ; and while on the way to the station Steed, by a sudden jerk, released himself from the hold of Dodsworth, 338 A, to whom he had been given ov,r, and s' ruck him several violent blows in the mouth with his fiat evidently with the intention of making his escape. Mr Tyrwhitt said ho should send the prisoners for trial, and perhaps a bill might also be preferred against Steed for the assault. Steed, in a most impudent tone, said that perhaps he should have to prefer is bill against the police. Mr Tyrm hitt asked the prisoners whether they wished to say anything ? Steed replied " It ain't no use." Mr Tyiwhitt committed the prisoners for trial. Dawson said that Steed had undergone penal servitude and was at large on a ticket-of-leave. The prisoners, who are well dressei mon, are, from their determined demeanour in court, evidently very dangerous fellows. ALLEGED EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A CONFIDENTIAL SERVANT.—Reuben West, having the,management of the business of Mr Edward Pratt, hatter, &c., of 37, Old Bond street, was charged before ➢lr Tyrwhitt with stealing 80 hats and 4 umbrellas of the value of £5O, the property of his employer. The evidence was far from perfect, and Mr Tyrwhitt re manded the prisoner for a week, and consented to take bail for the prisoner's future attendance. WESTMINSTER. A CHILD CUTTING HER THROAT.—A. very comfortably clad, well-grown child, named Sarah Keefe, was charged with cutting her own throat with a razor. Mrs Ann Baldwin said that she lived at 6, Wimpole mews, Cavendish-square and was at present taking charge of her sister's house, 29, Stanley-street, Pimlico, as she had gone with her husband into the cluntry for a few days. The prisoner was their servant, and having heard that her aunt was gone out of town on Saturday, began crying about it, and nothing would pacify her. She was much distressed in mind apparently on both Sunday and yesterday morning, and declared that she felt herself so miserable that she did not know what to do. Mr Selfe—Did she say what made her feel so miserable ? Witness—She said she was thinking about her dead mother, and now her aunt has gone away. Mr Selfe—When and how did she cut her throat F Witness—Yesterday, at dinner-time, and with a razor. I heard her go upstairs just before, and I called her to come to her dinner, and receiving no answer I sent my little boy up. When he got into her bedroom ho saw her kneeling on the floor, with her head upon a chair, and the blood was oozing from hcr throat, which was cut. My little boy came down very much alarmed, and I sent immediately for a doctor. Witness was here so overcome that she fainted, and was &aged to be removed from the court, William King, 257 B, said that at half past four o'clock yesterday afternoon he was sent for to the house, and the two razors he produced were given to him. Ho found the child with her throat cut, and a doctor had been there and dressed it. Mr Selfe—Where has she since been ? Witness—After taking her to St George's Hospital I conveyed her to the workhouse, where they kept a watch over her until this morning. Mr Selfe—Has the child neither father nor mother ? A private of the Fusileers said that her father and mother were both dead. Her father had been dead 10 years and the mother 2 years, the latter being deranged. Wit ness's aunt then took charge of the child and got her her present situation for her food and clothing. Mr Selfe—What is her age ? Witness—Between 12 and 13. Mr Selfe—Let her be taken back to the workhouse for the present, and I should like to see the medical officer there when ho has examined her. THAMES. ATTEMPTED HOUSE ROBBERY BY A TIC/YET OP LEAVE MAN IN SIIADIVELL —John Wilson, a ticket of leave man, was charged before Mr Paget with entering the house No. 52, High. street, for the purpose of committing a robbery. Sergeant Cox, K 45, stated that yesterday evening, in consequence of information, he went to the house in ques tion, with another constable. When he got in he saw the prisoner, who instantly tried to conceal himself, Witness at the same time saw another man, who, upon observing witness, ran upstairs. He was followed by witness into a room. When ho got into it he jumped through a window on to the roof of a shop, and then leaped off to the ground, a depth of about 20 feet. Witness went after him through the window, but no further. He then ran across a garden and was attacked by a dog. He, however, got away. The prisoner was taken into custody by another constable. Police-constable 4SB A, who took him into custody, pro duced several skeleton keys, a jemmy, a pallet, which were found on the prisoner. Mr Paget asked if the prisoner was known, when the constable stated that he was a ticket-of-leave man, and that ho had received six years penal servitude, and had only been out of prison two months. He believed it was the in tention of the prisoner to get into the rector's house, which is adjoining. _ _ The prisoner,was sent for three months to the House of Correction, MARKETS—This Day.

We have learned from a sure source that a most shock ing scene occurred immediately after the drop fell. We have stated that a short time previous to the execution at tention was directed to the wound in Myers's throat, and one of the warders placed a small plaster upon it, Unfortunately this was not sufficient. A few days before the execution Myers alluded to the state of his throat, and said that if the executioner did not give him " another yard" of fall he should not die, for he could breathe through the wound. Ile showed to the person he addressed that he could actually respire through the wound. The wound was in the middle of the throat, and the rope would necessarily come above it, so that there was imminent danger cf a horrible scene unless the place was securely plastered over. The event showed that proper means had not been taken to obviate this danger. The fall did not dislocate the neck, because of his weight, but it was sufficiently violent to tear open the wound, and a dreadful scene ensued. After one or two movements Myers ceased apparently to struggle, and the attention of the executioner was directed to Sargisson, who struggled violently, and seemed to die very hard. But after a minute had elapsed it was seen that Myers was still alive, and that breathing was going on through the wound in the throat below the rope I The dreadful occurrence caused an overpowering feeling of horror, but after a consultation with the surgeon, steps were taken which resulted in the eventful fulfilment of the sentence; but this was not ac complished until more than 20 minutes had expired after the drop tell ! Whether rensibility remained in the body during the whole of that time, it is impossible for us to say. Certain, however, it is that the culprit breathed for that time, and that the hoarse sound of the air rushing into the lungs was distinctly audible. Most fortunate it was that the screen in front of the drop completely concealed the bodies from the sight of the enormous crowd. We shudler to think of what the consequences might have been if the populace had seen what took place behind the screen,— h elfiel hirleper, do it, We perceive that Messrs. Maxwell and Co., among other book; announce as in the press' The Doctor's Wife,' by Miss Braddon ; and a new novel, 'Barry O'Bryne,' by the author of St. Victor's Choice;' also a new work by Sir C.

Collins, The Prince and Princess of Wales in Denmark, COPENHAGEN, Thursday. Even if the Prince and Princess of. Wales had not arranged to pass a few days quietly at Fredensborg Castle,lwhich lies ab ou t 27 miles from Copenhagen, the drenching show ers th a t have fallen almost con tinually since their arrival in Denmark would put anything like sight-seeing out of the question. A heavy, soaking, n o i se l ess ra in, such as English agriculturists would d e li g ht in, and to which the are well accustomed, for inhabitants apparently they walk about with or w ithout umbrellas, en tirely disregarding it, covers the streets with little sheets of water that throb like pulses as they are beaten and swollen by farther drops descending every moment. If a temporary cessation does take place and a ray of sunshine tempts the visitor half a stre©t from his hotel, ho speedily desire his overc oa t an d hi s very has occasion to strongest boots. Droskies, indeed, and even in some quarters omni buses running upon tramways, afford the means of locomotion under cover, but, as in all the northern citiea;these have a place of their own, which must not be interfered with. At Fredensborg yesterday the birthday of the Queen of Denmark was privately, but not on that account the less warmly celebrated. At 12 o'clock all the principal p ersonages res ident in the Castle, and also the memb ers o f t h e C o rps Di plomatique, had the honour of being received and of tendering their congratulations. In the evening there was a dinner party, at which about 40 sat down to table. The circle included all the members of the Royal family at present s t ay i ng a t F re densborg to meet the Prince and P r i ncess o f W a l e s, Sir A. and Lady Paget, with Mr. G os li ng an d 11r. Scott, of the British Embassy, the immediate suite of their Royal Highnesses, the commander of the yacht Osborne, and the captains of her Majesty's steamers Aurora and Salamis. After dinner his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales proposed the health of the Queen of Danmark, and immediately afterwards the King of Danmark proposed that of her Majesty Queen Victoria. The company then separated, the remainder of the evening being spent in private. Owing partly to the very unfavourable state of the weather, and to the fact that communication with the capital by railway is still impeded, some uncertainty prevails as to the actual proceedings of the Royal party. It is probable that the Prince and Princess of Wales will remain at Fredensborg until the beginning of next week, and that they will then proceed to Bernstorff, which, before the King ascended the throne, constituted his family residence. This castle being mu c h sma ll er th an th e one where they are now stayi ng , the Prince and Princess will take with them only a portion of their suite; but, on the other hand, its proximity to Copenhagen will afford opportunities for visiting many objects of interest with which the capital abounds. It is nearly certain that the Royal party, or at any rate the Prince of \Vales, will visit Stock holm towards the end of the month, but the design at one time entertained of extending the tour so as to include Moscow and St. Petersburg has been abandoned, owing to the lateness of the season. The time of year is already advanced for Sweden, and a month later travelling in Russia would be at tended with extreme difficulties. Concerning the visit of the Prince and Pritcess to Copenhagen at the present moment public opinion has been a good deal divided. Naturally, when a nation undergoes humiliation and defeat, when it is conscious of outrages on the part of others and of some mistakes committed by itself, it is not in the mood for seeing anything coleur de rose. Whatever foundation there may have been for the expectations based on an English alliance, these expectations undoubtedly were entertained with a blind unquese tioning faith, and when these were disappointed the mortification was proportionately bitter. The signa% ture of England to the treaty of 1852 was looked on as the one good name on the back of the bill which, if all others failed, was to secure performance of the contract. Since it has proved that this task was more than England could or would undertake, the Danish feeling towards that country and its people hag, to say the least, cooled very sensibly. There are symptoms ; however, that clearer views and wiser counsels are already beginning to resume their sway, and that the violent language indulged in recently by a section of the press finds no approval from the more enlightened portion of the commu nity. Dagblada, the organ of the more influential Opposition, contrast the enthusiastic demonstra tions which took place before the departure of the Princess Alexandra, with the silent welcome that meets her as Princess of Wales, and sets itself to explain why there are now no fetes in her honour. It is not, Dagblada says, that any less warm feel. ings are entertained towards her personally, or that any doubt is felt of her affection for Denmark; but the displays when she was about to leave for Eng land possessed a do a bl e s i gn ifi c ation. They were intended to celebr a t e not mere ly a personal but a national union. Sh e returns at a mo ment when the nation is bent d own b eneath a gr eat calamity, and when the hope that sustained it has been utterly shattered. There i s no l onge r the capacity to re joice ; there are no roses to scatter before her, because they have a ll b een strew n upon the tombs of those warri ors w h o have fal l en . Dagbladet ex presses satisfaction at the presen ce of " the Eogs lish Crown Princ e " as a guest i n the country from which his wife w as c h osen, b u t sa ys, "The Danes must still regard him as the repr esentative of Great Britain, which a b an d on ed them to their enemies, and allow e d m i g ht to trample over right, though both se e i ng an d condemning their fadida—thles,s, `Ye violence." cannot accod Further r :a his private sym pathies n the same paper a for the righteous cause of Denmark so much weight as we should do to those of a man in less exalted position." This article reflects very faith fully the feeling here at the present moment. It is ore, it will be perceived, not written in a tone of personal unkindness, but rather of dissatisfaction w ith the policy which England thought it beat to rs Years must elap s e before that feeli n g wears away, and should there be any political party interested iu its continuance it may be maintained and igthood opportunity kinilY will sur mount heart of the nation pf welcome ofElsili re , the for an period. But, as wasln any case seen in the he all internationa l bitterness. m ust indeed be a sl ur p olitician who would mar by the introduction of p olitical to p ics the happiness of a young mothe r in showing to the _ underl ies, people among w hom her childhood wa s passed the husband of her choice and the first fruit with which that union has been blessed. The Russian Grand Mike, with wn • ose stay in Denmark rumour c on nected the possibility of another Royal alliance with thereigning has just taken his d epa rture. Before doing so, he presented to General Liedenchrone a very valuable gold snuffbox as a mem orial of the v i s i t. The whole of the Grand Mike's Staff were decorated by the King of Denmark.

The course is rather hard but otherwise in excellent condition. The two great cracks, Blair Athol and General Peel, arrived yesterday. A rush was immediately made to get a peep at their condition, but those who were so anxious went away sorely disappointed, as they came in separate boxes made expressly for the pur pose.

General Peal, from having won the Two Thousand Guineas, and afterwards running second for the Derby, has ever since the latter event been as good a favourite as Blair Athol, owing to his having gone into John Scott's stable to finish his preparation. In his race for the Two Thousand there was no horse of any merit that he beat. But after the form that Scottish Chief showed at Ascot, his chance looks second to none. Lord Glasgow is one of the most honourable noblemen in oonnection with the turf, and his success would be hailed with the greatest satisfaction by all classes of the ring. It is said that Wells will have to mount on the General instead of Aldcroft, who, it was said, acted contrary to orders in the Great Epsom tourna ment, which gave rise to a serious difference betwoul trainer,jockey, and master. The Minor, from having defeated Blair Athol at York, is now third favourite; but, as I have previously said, that running will no doubt be entirely upset on the present Captain Francis Harry Noott, retired full-pay Royal Marines, to have the 13. , norery rank of Major. Paymaster Thomas Richardson Griffiths, 16th Foot, to have the honorary rank of Captain.

Baragah is the best of Mr Bowes's lot. His performances at Ascot, Goodwood, and Wolverhampton, where he beat Ely, Historian, 1191yfox, Tomato, and Lord Zetland (giving him 71bs), certainly makes his chance look rosy. All sorts cf excuses have been made tor Ely, but I have not the smallest doubt he was fairly defeated on his own merits. Taking his race with Ely into consideration, he certainly beat him easier than either Blair Athol or General Peel did in the Derby. He was stopped for two or three days in his work by a slight accident, but has since done exultant work, and looking as fresh as ever. Mostly all the bookmakers have laid heavily against him; and if he should pull through (with the exception of Ransley and Spinks, and several of the old bookmakers), the "Ruins" will be scattered nearly as much as General Grant's Yankee forces were the other day by General Lee on the Weldon Railroad before Petersburg.

Twenty ! twice twenty times was the Shakspere Tercentenary celebration done to death. Every art and device of mortal man combined to produce the terrible and ignominousfiaseo of this unlucky scheme. The two committees which quarrelled about the honour of inventing what was destined from the first to fail ; the secretaries who quarrelled with the committee, and the committee which disavowed the secretaries, and then disavowed and dissolved itself; the somebody who affronted the late Mr. Thackeray, and the somebody who affronted Mr. Phelps, and the somebody who affronted Mr. Pechter, and the somebody who affronted Mr. Bellew, and Mr. Bele lew who affronted everbedy the Memorial Com mittee which passed a solemn vote, "Agreed unani mously that we receive 1;39,000, to be furnished by public subscription ;" and the public who never would subscribe thirty thousand ehiliings—the whole thing runs into a parody. This is the statue that the committee did not set up ; this is the actor that worried the committee; this is the parson that riled the actor that worried the committee, &a. &c. ad infinitum —and infinite series of blunders, break downs, quarrels, vanities, absurd ities,extravagances. Wo thought that we had done with it. But it reappears. Even the dinner at Stratford, at which Lord Carlisle presided, was not the last of it—the dinner which was so bad that the excellent Viceroy has never recovered from it. Nor was the Prim rose-hill oak-planting the last of it, at which the Shakspere worshippers and the Garibaldi worship. pers, after the fashion of rival religionists, got to loggerheads. Ecce iterum Mr Hepworth Dixon, who promised that the minutes of the Shakepere Memorial Committee should be deposited in the British Museum, but who will now be called upon, we fear, to deposit them in Baeinghall-street. At any rate, the Stratford Shakspearian Tercentenary Commemoration Committee is in a hopeless state of insolvency. Whether the two Committees—the London Committee and the Stratford Committee— ever coalesced, we are not quite sure. Nor are wo cortain whether any Rump of the London Memo rial Committee survives to be roasted yet once more. We remember only that secession alter secession took place. We have an indistinct recol'ection that the Monumental Committee fell to pieces after a literary gentleman, without consulting the whole body, drew up the famous programme of a "monu ment embracing a statue" in " the style of the poet's period." Nor can we call to mind that the Memorial Committee, if it still exists, has ever pre sented a report, or told us how much of the £30,000 which it passed a resolution to receive has been re ceived. Indeed, as we are not aware whether the London Committee is alive or dead, hybernating or aestivating, asleep or awake or on a journey, we desire to say nothing about it. it is only to be hoped that, when its day of account comes, the London Committee may present a better balances sheet than its Stratford brethren.

A melancholy accident occurred two days back at the residence of M. de Biujas, at Montlugon (Allier). The Count do Saint-Georges was on a visit at the house, and on mounting the staircase to retire to rest was leaning over the banister, when he lost his balance and fel i forward, receiving fuch injuries that he expired in a few bollix alter. The count was aged 41 years. " General de noon; Prussian Minister of War." says a letter from Chalons," on his recent visit to the camp, complimented Marshal de Mac Mahon on the precision and rapidity of . the movements of the troops reviewed before bun. I thank your Excellency,' replied the . Marshal, ' for the app ro b a ti on yen e xpress. Many of those withers are recruits of the reserve who have been in training only three months, but in France that is long enough for the young soldiers to overtake their old comrades.' " THE COLLEGE OF ORGANISTS.—PRIZE FOR ORGAN ComPosmox.--Io a letter to the Editor of the "Musical Standard," a correspondent, signing him self R Limpus, hon. sec., and dating from Freemason's Hail, September 5, 1864, writes as fellows : —"I am desired by the Council of the College of Organists to ihform you that the prizs of ten guineas offered for the best Organ Composition has been awarded, and to request you will kindly insert in your next issue the umpire's report, a copy of which I enclose. The successful work posseses great merit, and its author proves to be Mr Hiles, of Manchester. It is a gratifying fact that the late appeal to composers for the organ resulted in the production of several high class works, which are remarkable for superior writing. It wou'd be satisfactory to the Council to learn the names of those competitors whose works have received honourable men tion ; but, under conditions previously issued, they ere only permitted to break the seal of the letter bearing tho motto of the successful candidate.
