Wwg- ONE Y MARKET AND COMmviRCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The discount market continues firm, and 4 per cents. is the general charge for first class three months' bills, but occasional business is negotiated k per cent lower. About £5,000 in gold was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The proprietors of the United Bank of Lon don held their half-yearly meeting to-day, Mr. P. N. Laurie in the chair. The report of the directors stated that the net pro fits for the six months ending June 30 last after payment of all charges (including the sum of £82,098 17s. 4d. for interest paid and due to cus tomers on their current and deposit accounts), and making due provision for all bad and doubtful debts, amounted to £89,446 lls. 10d., which, with the sum of £25,222 Os. 10d. brought forward from Dec. 31 last, left for appropriation £114,668 12s. Bd. The directors therefore declared nn increased dividend of 18s. per share, clear of income tax, for the six months ending June 30 last. After this payment, amounting to £54,000, and appropriating £60,000 to the reserved flied, which will thereby be raised to £lOO,OOO, there will remain a balance of £668 12s. Bd. to be carried forward to a new profit and loss account. The Chairman congratulated the proprietary upon the very satisfactory position of the bank, the divi dend having been increased from 15s. to 18s. per share. The net profits made during the half-year amounted to £89,000 against £69,000 reported last 19 ' January, and in addition to that sum £82,000 had been for interest on current and deposit accounts, against £49,000 last year. These sums testified satisfactorily to the system adopted by the direc tors, and that their liberal treatment to customers was not wholly disadvantageous. The £250,000 lost through the Pullinger frauds had been re placed, the reserve fund again stood at the high figure of £llO,OOO, and during the last three years the directors had, besides replacing the £250,000, paid £290,000 in dividends alone. The annual meeting of proprietors of the Colonial I Bank took place to-day. A dividend of 6 per cent. - for the half-year, being at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum, was declared. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were heavy at 68f. 60c. The market for the English Funds, which closed yesterday at a rise of per cent., is still rather buoyant, Console being 92k g for transfer, and 92; exactly for August next.

Cresawell, Mr. Justice Wightman, and Mr. Baron Channel.) CSIICHESTER V. MURE, FALSELY CALLED CHICHESTER- JUDGMENT. The Queen's Advocate, at the sitting of the Court this morning, applied to have the judgment postponed until the petitioner, the Hon. George Augustus Hamilton Chichester, had complied with different orders of the Court respecting alimony to the wife and costs which he had not paid. Dr. Spinks opposed the application. Sir C. Cresswell observed that the court had received no papers in reference to the application which he refused. The learned judge then proceeded to deliver judment. The case had been argued on demurrer, and it appeared that the petitioner alleged that he bad not contracted a valid marriage with Mrs. Lucy V. Mure, whose husband had succeeded in obtaining a divorce on the ground of adultery with the petitioner. At the hearing of the demurrer the Court had no doubt as, to their judgment, but from the novelty and importance of the case, they considered it desirable that they should place the same on paper. The marriage solemnized at Paris, on the 19th of August, 1859, within three months after the dissolution of the previous mar marriage, which it was argued for the petitioner rendered it invalid, according to the 20th and 21st of Vict. 55th and 56th sections, cap, 85. The whole case turned on the construction of those sections. The learned Judge went through the facts and arguments in detail, and said that the Court was clearly of opinion that the marriage j was invalid, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.---This Day.

COOKE V. COOKE.-JUDGMENT. In this case the wife had obtained a decree of judicial separation from her husband, the Rev. Mr. Cooke, of Seymer. It will be recollected that the petitioner was ori ginally heard before the Judge Ordinary, and the cruelty the wife complained of was her removal from the care of the household and general illusage. Mr. Justice Wightman, on behalf of the full court, con firmed the former judgment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREE r. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN THE POLICE CELL.—Sarah Ann Field, a respectably-dressed female, was charged be fore Mr. Mansfield with attempting to commit suicide in the police cell. It appears that, on the previous afternoon, the prisoner went to Sergeant Brown, of the T division, and said she wanted to give herself up for having absconded from the Whetstone Institution, and stolen several articles of cloth ing. She referred to a gentleman who knew her, and Ser geant Brown took her to the gentleman's house, and she sud denly became almost insensible. She was then taken to the Middlesex Hospital, it being supposed she might have taken some poison, but the surgeon stating that she was suffering from the effects of drink, she was taken to the Marlborough-mews Station, and some time after she was locked up. Breach, 199 C, on going to the cell, found she had tied a pocket handkerchief so tightly round her neck as nearly to destroy herself. Sergeant Glass, the acting in spector, then placed a constable to watch her to see that she made no attempt on her life. Mr. Mansfield asked what place the Whetstone Institu tion was ? _ ___ ..-- - Sergeant Brown said he believed it was an institution for unfortunate females. Prisoner said she was a servant out of place, and left the institution last Saturday. Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner for a week. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF A YOUNG DRESSMAICER.— Virginia Garet, a young French dressmaker, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with attempting to commit suicide by drowning herself in the Serpentine. Stephen Greaves, a labouring man, deposed to seeing the young woman in the Serpentine yesterday afternoon, and with assistance he succeeded in getting her out. In answer to the charge, the young woman said she was in distress, and that induced her to do it. Mr. Mansfield remanded her for a week. It appears the young woman has only been in this coun try two months, and that she has been engaged a part of that time at two West-end dressmakers, but having no work, and being in great distress, she was, induced to make the rash attempt. WESTMINSTER. WILFULLY BREAKING A SQUARE OF PLATE GLASS.— Elizabeth Bellamy, a good-looking young woman, was charged, before Mr. Arnold, with breaking a valuable square of plate glass. John Andrews, shopman to Mr. Carney, grocer, 346, King's-road, Chelsea, said that about nine o'clock last night, while he was serving a customer, the prisoner came in front of the shop, and with a stone deliberately broke a large square of plate glass. Witness asked her what she did it for, when she observed that she broke it as she wanted to be given in custody. Mr. Arnold—What is the value of the glass ? 'Witness—lt is a square of plate glass, and worth £lslos. Waterman, 271 A, said that the prisoner was given into his custody by the witness, when she observed that she wanted to be given into custody, as she was tired of her life. She added that she was destitute, and that a few days ago she left Leamington and came to London, having been promised by a man who had been paying some attention to her, that he would marry her. He lived with her a few days, when he deserted her, and she had been since quite destitute. She had nothing to eat all that day. Policeman B 67, stated that in the course of yesterday she broke the window of another tradesman, but the charge was not preferred, and as she was destitute, she was sent to Chelsea workhouse, but she did not remain there long. _ _ . Bin Arnold remarked that it was a most malicious act on her part to break so valuable a pane of glass as she had, but said that if her story were true one would be disposed to have some pity for her. He should remand her for a week, when in the meanwhile she would have the advice of the chaplain of the prison. THAMES. THE CRIMP AND HIS COMPANION.—CaroIine Scannell, a very showily-dressed young woman, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with committing a breach of the peace, and breaking 10 panes of glass in the windows of the house of a man named Henry Gilbert, a crimp, and land lord of a boarding-house for sailors in Nelson. street, Stepney. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, stated that the prisoner and Gilbert had lived together as man and wife for many years, and they parted a few months since. The prisoner was desirous of renewing the immoral connection, but Gil- bert declined, and she had since annoyed him and made a disturbance in front of his dwelling. She was bound over to keep the peace towards him some time ago, and her sureties had expired. He now required her to find good bail to keep the peace again. She came last night to Gil bert's house, and made use of bad language and threats. He was to be married next Sunday to a young woman to whom he had been paying his addresses, and the prisoner declared the marriage should not take place, and by her violence and had language caused a large number of dis orderly persons to assemble, and she then commenced hurl ing stones at his windows and destroyed 10 panes of glass. The complainant Gilbert, a large-faced man without whiskers, better known as " tough Gilbert," confirmed the statement of his solicitor. Mr. Woolrych told the prisoner she had no claim on her paramour Gilbert, and must not molest him. He ordered her to pay for the broken panes of glass. Mr. Charles Young—Will you order her to enter into recognizances. Mr. Woolrych—lf she does this again I certainly will. After some conversation the prisoner was ordered to enter into her own recognizances in the sum of £lO to keep the peace, and be of good behaviour for 12 months. As she was leaving the court she said " I will be at Gilbert's wed ding next Sunday. A NEW CURE FOR TUE SILkLL Pox.—James Gurd, a labourer in the employ of the " Victoria London Docks Company," was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing 21bs. of cochineal, value 6s. The prisoner was a labourer at the bonded warehouses of the company, in Goodman's yard, Minories. lie was lem ing the warehouses yesterday at 6 o'clock, when he was stopped by Thomas Pegram, one of the dock company's officers, who searched him, and found on his person 21bs. of cochineal. It was concealed in his rackets, his stock ings, and his shoes, and the value of it was six shillings. The prisoner's calves were repiesented to be false ones— that is, he had cochineal ones over his real calves. The prisoner had been at work among cochineal in the bonded warehouses in the coarse of the day. The prisoner ; in defence, said that a poor man whom he knew, and who had a child laid down with the small pox, asked him to procure a little cochineal to cure the diaease. (A laugh.) Mr. Woolry ch—What I cochineal a cure for the small pox ? The Prisoner—l believe so. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Woolrych said it was not likely any sane man or woman would be credible enough to believe cochineal was a specific for the smallpox, It was not a medicine at all. Cochineal was a valuable dye, and used by dyers. The pri soner had stolen 21bs. of it, and filled his pockets and his stockings with iE. The Prisoner --I am very sorry. I have been seven or eight years in the employ et the company, Mr. Woolrych—You are fined 40s. for the unlawful pos session of the cochineal, or one month's imprisonment. T HE OUTWARD CAPE MAIL. — The mail steam ship Cambrian left Plymo uth y esterda y mor ning for the Cape, with the mail s, consisting of 95 bags of p a pers, 14 bags of letters, 10 bag s of books, and 67 passen g ers .

The thanks of th e members were return ed to John Ruskin, Esq., Professor T y ndall, and Captain S peke , for their evening discourses on Ju n e 5, 12, and 23. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.---This Day. The SPEAKE& took the chair at a quarter past twelve. FOREIGN ENLISTMENT ACT. Mr. COBDEN moved an address for a copy of a me morial from certain shipowners of Liverpool to the Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs, suggesting an alteration in the Foreign Enlistment Act. The motion was agreed to. POISONED GRAIN, &c,, PROTECTION BILL. Mr. PAULL rose to move the second reading of this bill. He showed that great injury had occurred to vegetation by the extermination of birds, while, in the districts where that destruction had taken place, insect life had greatly increased. He had no intention of interfering by this bill with the game laws, much lesa to make them more strin gent than they are. It was solely in the interest of farmers and agriculture that he asked the house to pass this bill, which would prevent the indiscriminate slaughter of birds not now protected by law. He pointed out the dangers arising from the use of poisoned wheat, strychnine being generally used, and sometime cosulus indicus and arsenic. He mentioned a case in which two poisoned rats were found inside a valuable sow, which had died suddenly from some apparently inexplicable cause. He should, how ever, move the committal of the bill, in order that the amendment might be printed. Mr. FORSTER seconded the motion. I t was at one time supposed that no poison could be used successfully except poisoned grain ; but he cited the opinion of a practical agri culturist to show that vitriol was equally adaptable and far more safe. He deprecated the cruel practice of poisoning small birds with poisoned wheat. Scientific men had clearly demonstrated that small birds were indapensable in the economy of agriculture. On the grounds of public safety they ought to pass the bill, for poisoned game found its way to their tables. He begged to suggest to his hon. friend that the penalty for using poisoned wheat should be in creased to £2O. Mr. CAIRD supported the bill, and would be glad if _ . . could be made useful without being injurious to the agri cultural interest. It was, however, a mistake to suppose that small birds did; not do a great deal of injury to game and gardens. Sir H. STRACEY ale) supported the bill, and read letters to show that in one case, where birds were exten sively poisoned, the vegetables were covered with that de structive insect the caterpiller, which had not previously been the case. _ _ Viscount GALWAY considered the bill indispensable. In passing through Eton the other day he was surprised to see for sale in a window of that academical village, " Doubly strong poisoned wheat—warranted to kill any thing." (H.ear, and laughter.) Mr. MARSH supported this bill, saying that plenty of substitutes could be found bereft of danger. Mr. HENLEY said there was a great deal of truth in what had been said with respect to the destruction of small birds ; but unless they were very careful they would pre vent sportsmen from shooting birds that came under that definition. As the bill stood it would not stand the test of legislative investigation, so that he should be glad to be afforded an opportunity of examining the amended bill promised. They would have a bill careful in defining what vermin consisted of. It was an ugly word. (Laugh ter.) Was a fox so definable ? He should like to know how the lawyers would describe him. (Hear and laughter.) Sir G. GREY said, undoubtedly it was a mischievous practice to expose poisoned wheat, as at the present time, but he feared the bill would be impracticable in its present shape, for he did not find that the proposed amendments would improve it. He should, however, support the second reading on this understanding that the hon. member would reprint this bill ; but he apprehended it would be more advisable for him to withdraw it and to in troduce an amended measure Mr. SLATER-BOOTH supported the bill. Sir J. SHEL bEY said he was a farmer of thirty years standing, and had tried every system of protecting his wheat from destruction by birds, and used wheat steeped n arsensic. Farmers were much to blame for not drilling their wheat deep enough. After a few words from Mr. DUTTON, the bill was read a second time, and the amended bill was ordered to be printed and circulated. CASUAL POOR (METROPOLIS) BILL. Lord RAYNHAM moved the second reading of this bi the object of which, he said, was to amend the present law with respect to the immediate relief of casual, ailing, and distressed poor in the metropolis.

In the week that ended last Saturday the deaths were 1,187. The average weekly number at the beginning of July, corrected for increase of population, is 1,142, and therefore in the present return there is an excess of 45 above the estimated amount. There were 43 deaths from smallpox in the week. In June the weekly number varied from 43 to 46. Of the 43 cases 4 are stated to have occurred to the vaccinated. Scarlatina was fatal in 73 cases, 5 of which oc curred in Limehouse. There were 4 deaths from intemperance. Six cases of infanticide were recorded in the week, 3 of which were in the sub-district of St. Mary, Pad dington. A girl, aged one year, died of i n ' uss eP ca used by swallowing a cherry-stone; an u d sc ab t o i 7, aged eight years, of apnoea from a cherry -stone im pacted in the larynx. Last week the births of 995 boys and 942 girls, in all 1,937 childr en, were re g istered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1853 62 the average number (corrected) was 1,728. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 673 in. The mean reading was above 30in. on four days of the week. The reading decreased to 29.78 in. on Sunday, and rose to 30 . 17 on Wednesday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 594 deg., which is 2 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The lowest night temperature was 45.5 deg. on Wednesday. The highest day reading was 74 . 2 deg. on Friday. The range in the week was there fore 28.7 deg. The mean daily range was 22.3 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point tem perature and air temperature was 9.9 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 70. On four days the humidity was only 67. The wind blew most frequently from the west-south-west. On Saturday it was in the north-east. There was no rain, except some slight showers on Monday. In the 13 weeks that ended on Saturday, June 27, a high mortality prevailed in London. It was above the average in each successive week till the 13th, when it fell below the estimated number for that week. In the second week the deaths rose to 1,610, and to April 25 the weekly number was never below 1,400. In the first week in May the deaths rose to 1,459, and in the last week of that month they were 1,296. During the rest of the quarter they were about 1,200 in a week, or not much below that number. In April the mean temperature of the air at Greenwich was 49 deg. ; in May it was 52 deg.; and in June it was 58 deg. Between the mean temperature of the first week in the quarter and that of the last there was a difference of 16 deg. The mean of the quarter was 52 . 7. The total number of deaths in the quarter was 17,417. In the four corresponding quarters of 1859- 62 the lowest number was less than 14,000, and the highest less than 16,000. The mortality from zymo tic diseases was excessive, the deaths classed under this head having amounted to 5,003. In the last four corresponding quarters they ranged only from 2,900 to 3,900. Smallpox and scarlatina chiefly contributed to the high aggregate result produced by zymotic diseases. Scarlatina, which caused 1,055 deaths, was the most fatal in this class. The deaths from smallpox rose to 788, of which 574 occurred to persons under 20 years of age, 165 at the age of 20-40, 43 at 40-60 years, and 6 at a more advanced age. With reference to the sub-districts in which fatal cases of smallpox were most frequent the table shows there were 12 in St. Mary Paddington, 12 in Ken sington,' 12 in May Fair, 13 in Belgravia, 28 in St. John Westminster, 17 in St. Margaret West minster, 21 in the Rectory, Marylebone, 14 in Cam den-town, 30 in Islington East, 15 in St. Giles South, 11 in St. Anne Soho, 10 in Holton New town, 16 in Church Bethnal green, 10 in Town Bethnal-green, 20 in Limehouse, 14 in Mile•end Old-town-east, 42 in Poplar, 12 in Leather-market Bermondsey, 14 in Borough-road, 16 in St. Peter Walworth. The Smallpox Hospital returned 62 deaths. The deaths from scarlatina were 677 in the Spring quarter of 1862 against 1,055 in that of the present year ; the deaths fru." diptheria in the same times were 172 and 175. The fact that the mortality of the former disease should have been greatly aug mented, while that of the latter was stationary, supports the conclusion that the two complaints are specifically different. CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. The Commission of Sewers of the city of London met yesterday, at Guildhall, for the despatch of business. The Principal Clerk laid before the Court a com munication he had received from Sir George Grey, acknowledging the receipt of the letter enclosing a copy of a communication received by the commis sion from the authorities of the Customs on the subject of the importation of adulterated German yeast. A communication was also laid before the Court from the Commissioners of Customs upon the same subject. They stated that having been ad vised that the law would not authorise the officers of the Revenue to interfere in the matter, and having communicated the facts to the Lords Com missioners of her Majesty's Treasury at the head of the Executive o vernment, the board regretted that they could G not afford any further information, or take any further steps in the question.

MoNTRoND' S DEBUT AS A GAMBLER as related by Captain G ronow :—" When very young, at the court of Marie Antoinette, a certain M. de Champagne, an officer of the Guards, who was playing at cards with him, said, Monsieur, vous trichez.' Montrond answered, with the sang-froid' which distinguished him through life under very different circumstances, C'eat possible ; mais je n'aime pas qu'on me le dine,' and threw the cards in Cham pagne's face. They fought next morning with swords, and Montrond was run through the body. He was confined to his bed for two months, but when he got well again, called out M. do Champagne, and, although he received another wound, succeeded in killing his adversary. This duel set him up in the world as a dangerous man to meddle with, and saved him from many insults, to which his very sus picion% luck at play would have exposed him. Talleyrand said, u tropes of this, vit sur son wort.' " THE POLISH INSURRECTION. CRACOW, JULY 9.

Cuthbertson, coroner. Mr. Thomas Evans, the Government inspector of the South Wales district, was present to watch the proceedings on behalf of the Crown, and Mr. J. R. Tripp, solicitor, of Swansea, on behalf of the pro prietors of th e co lli ery , Messrs. Thomas, Son, and Co. The evidence was exceedingly voluminous, but the facts may be b r i e fl y state d. F rom the ev idence given it appears that the Park Colliery is the pro perty of Messrs. Thom as an d Co., s'o , e an d l has been com paratively n occurred. about aquarter of Fri day,t and took place in th 9 east side of the vein, where fourteen men were then a six-feet Wm. Woozley was the g eneral manager of thework. colliery, and he deposed that the six-feet vein was considered a " fiery" or dangerous working place, and the men were consequently required to work with locked safety lamps. This rule, however, did not seem to have been invariably attended to, as on the previous day some of the men were working in the three-feet vein with their lamps uncovered. William Thomas, acted as the overman stout two days before the accident, but had been engaged in the pit for four or five months before, and knew the whole of the workings. He had not any special directions given him about the lamps, as he was supposed to know the duties of overman. The rules regulating the colliery required the overman to inspect the whole of the working places before the men descendedthe pit in the morning. William Thomas, the overman, went down the pit about 7 in the morning. Several workmen went down in the cage with him, and others followed immediately, but they remained at the bottom of the shaft, and did not proceed to work. There were 24 men in the pit at the time of the ex plosion, 14 being in the six-feet vein. Of these 14 three were killed on the spot, viz., Richard Edwards (suffocated), 54 ; Thomas Griffiths (suffocated), 41 ; and Francis Jenkins (suffocated), 18. Six others were also dangerously burnt, of whom three have since died, making six deaths. The whola distance to be traversed by the overman in inspecting the workings was about 470 yards, and it would take him about half an hour. The overman had special instructions given him not to allow the men to go to work until he reported all safe. The day before the accident he (William Woozley) was in the pit, and considered it quite safe for the men to work. Believed the colliery properly ventilated, consider ing its size. The safety lamps were not locked on the momeat of the accident. He found some li tie gas in the pit on the Thursday evening, but did not consider it dangerous ; some of the men were work ing in the three-feet vein without the lamps being covered, but he did not find fault with them for so doing. William Thomas, upon being er.amined, said he had only acted as overman for two days before the accident. He went to the pit some what later than usual on the morning of the ac cident, and on the way he was met by Mr. Wooz ley, the manager, who told him to make haste, as he feared an accident. He went down the pit, and found that several men were then sitting at the bot tom of the shaft. He told them to sit where they were, and not to go to work until he retired from inspecting the works. He examined the tnree-f fire "eet v ein first, and when th ere heard the " puff of come from the six-feet vein. He admitted that it was his duty to see that all the lamps were locked before the men went to work. Had not locked any of the lamps th a t morning.

John Evans, a col lier at work in the west heading at the time of the explosion, stated that he left his work about five o'clock on the evening previous to the explosion. There was gas in his heading when he left, but he kept it down by brushing it out with his waistcoat. The overman knew this very well.

AN INCIDENT IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. — Yesterday, at the morning sitting, a somewhat curious incident occurred in the House of Commons, involx.- ing a violation of one of the standing orders of the house. It is known to those who are in the habit of attending the , House of Commons that immediately after prayers the . Speaker takes his seat at the clerk's table, and sits there until 40 members are present, that number being necessary to make " a house." During that period of waiting no member who has entered the house must leave it until the required 40 are present, and if a member, through ignorance or forgetfulness of the standing orders, ventures towards the door, he is politely requested by the ser geant-at-arms to retire t o his seat. Yesterday, at tett minutes past twelve, there were not more than 20 mem bers present, when Sir William Dunbar, one of the Lords of the Treasury, has til y left the Ministerial bench, and went out of the house unperceived by Captain Gooet, the deputy sergeant, who was in aLendance. Mr. C. Forster and Col. French communicated what had occurred to Cap o t f . Gosset, who had been conversing with the of o u f is u Harlington, and off went the captain in search few minutesh g live Lord of the Treasury.
