z__ XONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. IVAn active demand for money is still experienced in the general discount market, notwithstanding the effect produced for the liquidation of tt 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 3i per cent. The Parana, which has arrived from the Brazils, bas brought 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, bat 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. O perat i ons on t ea have been suspended, Owing to the approach of the public sa les 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 ba r t er w ith 19 ' 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 I rot. Again, the cotton 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 s.. company will therefore be enabled at once to corn- 1 menu operations. st] Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter'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 Console are s per cent, better. The settlement of the account 81 has made satisfactory progress, which together B+, 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 92* for money and 1 the 9th instant, and 921 4 for the August so count. The market at the last moment presents St a buoyant aspect. The New Threes are firm at 921, and the Reduced Annuities are 92 * ; Bank Stock ' t also remains at 234, 236 ; India Stock, ex div., is marked 224, 225, 227 ; the Five per Cent. Loan 108*1 ; the Five per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 1061, 11 the Bonds are 18s. prem., and Exchequer Bills sti is. dis. to 2s. prem. st, A smaller amount of business has taken place in et! the the Foreign Market than for some time past, and the quotations show a little heaviness. Mexicans have been 36; 371 ; Greek, 35 ; and the Coupons have also tended downwards. There have been ei dealings in Turkish 6 per Cents., in the 1854 issue, at 931 ; in the 1862 issue, at 674 68 ; and in the Consolides, at 504 51, showing steadiness. The sti Confederate Loan remains at 14 04 die.; Italian 5 per Cents, are marked 7 s 4 ; and Portuguese 3 per Cents., 48k 4. In the Railway Share Market the operations have again been of the most limited character. North- Western have declined about 55., and London and Blackwell, 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 67/. Interna tional Financial shares are quoted 4f, g prem. ; London Financial, f i to 8 prem.; Egyptian Trading Company, /to prep. ; and Hudson's Bay Com pany, a to prem. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK.

'"his Day. LAW INTELLIGENCE-..- COURT OF DIVORCE (Before the Judge-Ordinary.) WINDHAM V. WINDHAM-GITIGLINI. Dr. Warmby said he appeared for the petitioner in this case, William Windham, who had petitioned the court for a divorce from his wife, Agnes Windham, on the ground of adultery with the co-respondent, Signor Guiglini. 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 had no opposition to offer provided the costs were paid. Mr. F. H. Lewis, for the co-respondent, said that he also was instructed to offer no opposition to the motion if his client's costs were discharged. Dr. Wamby said he had received no instructions relative to the costs. The Judge Ordinary—Let the petition be dismissed, and the petitioner must pay the costs of the respondent and co respondent. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREEL STEALING A LADY'S PrnsE.—A DESPERATE THIEL— Charles Williams, alias Peters, a young man, was charged before Mr. Ty rwhitt 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 hand 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 • 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 pei son, 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. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutrix said the purse contained at the time £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. 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 Gil'espy.. 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 herand 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 ent*fie roseum wearing a great coat, and afterwards he observed him leave with the coat hanging ever 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 web 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 be 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." The Prince and Princess of Wales. The Prince and Princess of Wales accompanied the Queen of Prussia to the London-bridge termi nus yesterday morning, and took leave of her Ma jesty at the railway station.

CHARLES KEAN FOR AUSTRALIA. —After most exciting farewell performances in Liverpool and Manchester, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean, who are abou t f u lfillin g long - arranged pr o - fessional engagements at the antipodes, sailed yesterday from Liverpool for Melbourne in the famous Black Ball clipper, Champion of the Seas, one of the handsomest and fastest vessels afloat. Mr. and Mrs. Kean were accom panied by their niece, Miss Chapman, Mr. George Everett, Miss Cathcart, and two servants. The Champion of the Seas took out about 500 passengers and 2,000 tons of cargo. She is expected to reach her destination in about 60 or 70 days. GOETHE'S CORRESPONDENCE. —It is stated from Leipsic that the private 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. WESTMINSTER. CHARGE OF CUTTING AND WOT:NDING.—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 knif e and struck her with it on the arm. The wounds inflicted bled profusely. Sergeant Hodgson, 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 V surgeon, said that ihe 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 a t 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” kind to her, and was sure ho regretted what had occurred. She 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 Clure, a cab driver, and Stephen Nicholls, a touter and porter, were brought before Mr. 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 Win. Rose, 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 was proceed ing towards the Minorics. He put his head into the cab and saw two bags, each containing something bulky on the seats. He 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 67Ibs. In answer to Mr. Woolrych, the witness said that Clure 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 wore 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 ho 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 Clure 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 prison r Nicholls, and ordered him to pay a fine of £lOO, and, in default of payment, to be im prisoned for six months. SUBMARINE TELEGRAPII CABLES.—A numerous and influential meeting took place yesterday (Mon day), at the house of James M'Connell, Esq., G.E. , 2, Dean's-yard, Westminster, to consider the system of laying submarine telegraph cables invented, by Captain Jasper Selwyn, R.N.

(From the lass letter of m A y,zocrTAx.) The e atho ii;: 5 of this city, under th e s - uidance of Archbishop Hughes, are constantly prop osa l l , ". and increasing not only in churches but in congreg a ti o n s . 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 Catho lics. 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 head 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. In 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 nominally 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 negociatirg 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. A Fresh Order by General Monravieff. WILNA, June 25. General Mouravieff has issued the following order to the Presidents of Wilna, Kcrwno, Groddo, and Midsk, as to the collection of the 10 per cent. tax imposed upon Polish landholders : " Considering that my proposals to lay upon the real estates of the nobility a temporary impost of 10 per cent., to 'be deducted from the income re ceivable by the holders' pwn estimate from arable land in their possession, have been approved by authority, I hereby instruct your Excellency, for the better collection of this ground tax within your government, to issue directions based upon the fol lowing principl es it The tax is to be collected in every district by the war-circle commissioners and subordinate rural police. " 2, A period of a week shall in every case be appointed. If any landowner fail in paying hi, estimated quotunt of the tax within that time, the circle prefects shall be empowered. immediately an d without reserve, to sell all furniture, cattle, horses, and grain to be found within the house and its appurtenances. " 3. The names of all landowners from whose families any member shall have departed without notifying the place of his destination are to be at once reported to me, that I may take measures for increasing their tax, because such persons are doubly guilty in comparison with others. "4. All funds collected in this manner are to be paid in by the war-circle prefects to the provincial treasury. In order to maintain a strict account of these amounts, the treasuries, as well as the prefects, are to keep special books, and to deliver receipts to the payers in proof of their having paid the tax. " 5. The governmental presidents are empowered to call my attention to such landowners as may have shown themselves devoted to the Government and faithful to their oath of allegiance, that I may grant these individuals such relief as I may con sider advisable. "6. The war circle prefects are to furnish the governmental president with a list of such estates as may have been accidentally omitted from the operation of the tax, that their owners may be im mediately made liable. "Your Excellency will be pleased to watch that the taxes generally be collected with all possible speed in your Excellency's government, and that the 10 per cent. addition to income tax imposed upon landowners, in especial, be paid in with the utmost despatch. " General of Infantry, MOURAVIEFF II." General Mouravieff's previous order against the wearing of mourning by Polish women is being carried out with merciless severity. Ladies thus attired are constantly stopped in the streets by the Russian soldiery, who assail them with whip-strokes and blows from their fists. These outrages brought about a gathering of the people, who rushed upon the troops and rescued a lady who had been taken prisoner. The soldiers immediately charged the unarmed crowd with the bayonet, killing forty persons. The citadel of Wilna is crowded with prisoners, each of whom, without distinction of age, sex, or health, is allowed 21bs of bread and a pint of water daily to support life. Another account from Vilna says: " The Russian police agents arrest all women wearing mourning whom they find in the streets, toss them into carriages, and convey them to the police office, where they are threatened and bru tally insulted. The rich pay the fine, but about a score of women of the humbler class, who had not the means of paying, have been flogged. Some of these poor creatures received 100 blows of the knout —were punished in fact until they fainted. " Numbers of women are shut up in the citadel for offences of this nature. Many (among whom I can specially mention Mdlle. Marie Lapasnik, be longing to a well-known family in the district of Leda), have been found suffocated in their cells. Several others have died in prison from the mortal effects of terror, despair, or ill-treatment. "During religious services the churches are en tered and surrounded by the police and the mili tary, who watch with jealous eyes for the slightest sign of mourning dress among the women. Its discovery is instantly followed by fresh acts of vio lence and not unfrequently desecration of the sacred building." VIENNA, July 3. The semi-official Vienna Evening Post publishes the following authentic dccument, bearing upon the violations of the Austro-Polish frontier by Russian troops : "ORDER OF THE DAY TO THE TROOPS IN THE KINGDOM OF POLAND. WARSAW, May 12, 1863. "At the very commencement of the disorders which have broken out in the kingdom of Poland, it was impressed upon the respective commanders of any corps, by repeated warnings and orders, that in engagements with and pursuit of the rebels in the vicinity of a frontier line the utmost cau tion against violation of such frontier was to be ob served. Subaltern officers commanding detach ments were strictly forbidden to permit this species of transgression upon any pretence what- ever. "Di spite of my clear and distinct instructions, the Austrian Government has justly complained of numerous cases of violations of the boundary sepa rating the kingdom of Poland from Gallicia. " These cases are the following : [Three instances arc then enumerated, and the document proceeds,] " All these cases were investigated upon by my order by confidential persons upon the spot. The statements of the offending persons, that beetthy had not observed the boundary line, cannot ken i n to consideration. It app ears evident, upon the contrary, from the reports of the inspectors, that the troops which violated the frontier must have been clearly aware t hat the y were upon foreign territory. 0 "The chief blame atta ches to the leaders wll. have permitted these vio lations by their subordi nates. I therefore most emphatically repeat raj positive order, that no offences of this charter e committed in future, adding that every instance will be punished with the utmost severity of . the law. " Certain officers named are then reprimanded, acc ording to the degr ee of their cu lp a biity. 2 " The Commander-in -Chief, CONSTANTINE. GFORGE L' ..,...—,_ T . of Greece, of Xing George I.

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 !), 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! 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 1 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 I The modern Howard I lover of his kind I But still thy spirit, generous 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 I 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, wo 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 success, 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.

Raffles Waithew, the deputy coroner for Middlesex, resumed, at the Black Horse Tavern, Kingsland-road, the inquiry respecting the death of a young woman unknown, apparently aged 25 years, who was supposed to have committed suicide in the Regent's Canal.
