EMB.Fwr - 310NEY MARKET AND COMIERCTAT i INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A very pod inquiry for accommodation has been experienced this morning in the general discount Market, where the rates continue firm, 31 4 per cent, being the average charges for the best three Months' bills. The opinion is now prevalent that Boon after the payment of the October dividends the directors of the Bank of England will inaugurate a movement that will give the commercial classes increased facilities in the negotiation of their Securities. A further sum of £27,000 in gold was taken into flan Bank yesterday. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under :- 1863. 1862.

BANK OF ENGLAND. HALF•YEARLY MEETING-(THIS DAY.) WEIGHTS - FOR T: The usual half-yearly court of the governor and proprie tors of the Bank of England was held this day in the Back Parlour; Kirkman Hodgson, Esq., governor, presided. The minutes of the last half-yearly court having been read and confirmed, The GOVERNOR said he had to inform the court that that was one of the quarterly general courts, held in accordance with the charter, and that it was also one of the half-yearly general courts appointed to be held by the 1211 bye-law for the making of a dividend. He said the net profits of the half year ending the 30th of August last were £669,208, making the amount of rest on that day £3,671,505, and then after providing for a dividend of 10s, per cent, the rest would amount to £3,016,620, The court therefore proposed that a half-year's dividend of interest and profit be made on the 10th of October next of £4 10s. per cent., without de duction on account of income tax. The motion having been seconded, A PROPRIETOR was of opinion that the time had now arrived when some effort should be made to increase the dividends paid by the Bank of England to something like that paid by the joint stock banks. The latter paid divi dends in some cases to the amount of 17 or 20 per cent. per annum, whilst the Bank of England only paid about 91 per cent., with a paid-up capital amounting to 14 millions and a half. He also considered the amount of rest was more than sufficient, and that at least some portion of £3,000,000 should be distributed amongst the proprietors. The GOVERNOR said a statement was made at their last meeting of the difference of dividend paid by the Bank of England and that of the Joint Stock Banks, and in arguing upon that difference, it was not a fair calculation between them to take the per centage on the paid up capital of the Bank of England. They were bankers to the public, and it was of the utmost importance that there should be national confidence in them. He reminded the Court of the old saying " safe as the Bank," and was of opinion that it had arisen in consequence of their large capital and known resources of meeting everything they put their name to. It was quits a mistake to suppose that every legitimate and proper advantage was not given to their customers. All the conveniences granted by other establishments were to be had at the Bank of England. He thought the divi dend declared a very fair one. (Hear, hear.) The motion of the Governor was carried unanimously. The usual resolution of the payment of the dividend having also been agreed to, The GOVERNOR said that as the present rate of dividend exceeded that of last half •Sear it was necessary, in confor mity with the Act of Parliament, 7th G eo. 111., cap. 4S, that the same should be confirmed by the ballot in the customary manner, and that the Court should be adjourned until Tuesday, the 15th instant, at four o'clock to take the determination by votes in print or writing of the question on the resolution for the dividend. A resolution to that effect was also agreed to. A PROPRIETOR moved a vote of thanks to the governor and directors, and congratulated them on the increase of dividend. The GOVERNOR acknowledged the compliment, and the proceedings terminated. MARKETS---Tbis Day. MARK-LANE.

The following is from. the Tribune:-- past two w " Washington, Aug. 27 . e numerous vessels added to the" N N a o v tw y i w th i s th ta i n n i t in h g the e ; ears, construction is still to g o on. The navy department has just decided to build another fleet of i ron - c l a d vessels. They will be l onger and more form id a bl e than any now in the servi ce the works of of this or any other coun try, being, in fact, perfect copies of the great Erics son ocean ships Puritan an dEtietator which arenow building in New York. This last new batch of vessels is to be the most perfect in the entire navy ; and in order to render them • unexceptionable in every way, they are to be built at the navy yards of New York, Boston, Philadelph• 14 , and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Naval co nstructors alone are superintending them. Work on the vessels will soon commence. Each will have two turrets of enormous thickness, and the side armour will be some feet in thickness. There will be for each vessel two Pairs of direct act ing engines with jet condensers, the cylinders of which are to be vertical, and placed immediately over the shafts ; the diameter of each is to be 55 inches, and the stroke of piston 3 feet. As there are two of these engines, the speed of the vessel will be rendered as great as if the Cylinders were much larger. The boilers are to be of the horizontal tubu lar kind, with 900 square feet of grate, and not ex ceeding 6-,! - ; feet in length, and 22,500 feet of heating surface. The tubes to be of brass, shells to be -inch thick plates, with 7-10 inch thick bottoms and furnaces, and braced for a working pressure of 351 b. per square inch. The screw s to be of compoai tion of copper and tin, 15ft. diameter, of 22ft. r a ean pitch, to have four blades, and to be 21t. I wig. They will be sustained from the sountt it of the vessel by a brass hanger, and the shaft will r evolve in a brass pipe connecting the hanger with I ;lie hull. There will be required eight blow ing ell ;ines, with blowers equivalent to Dimpfel's No. 4.5 , to blow into an air-tight room. Each boiler will hi ) required to have an auxiliary steam pump. The tu 3nal number of duplicate pi eces, tools, instru ments , stores, &3., required in such naval contracts are to be furnished. The department will advertise at one e for turrets, which are to be built as rapidly as possible." turne .. 3 7 2 Anfield .. 3 7 2 Safeguard .. 3 7 2 Change .. 3 7 2 Tolurno .. 4 7 2 Borealis .. 3 7 1 Myrtle .. 5 7 1 Fontenoy .. 3 7 1 Dunksld .. 3 7 0 Judex .. 3 7 0 Catch 'em Alive .. 4 7 0 Baldwin .. .. 3 7 0 Gladstone .. 3 7 0 Little Pippin .. 4 7 0 Fantail .. 3 7 0 Early Purl .. 3 7 0 Accident .. ~ 3 7 0 Giraffe colt 3 7 0 Port Royal .. 3 6 13 Jarnicoton.. 3 6 13 Evenhand 5 6 13 Despair (late Fig) 4 6 13 Zuleika 5 6 13 Tademus .. 3 6 13 Tornado .. 3 6 12 Grisi • . .. 66 12 Blondin .. 3 6 12 Charles Martel .. 3 6 12 Trapcage 5 6 12 contemplated, e o m F p l A a t il e: : T ‘ R ‘ o T: G e International Magazine."

But where the vendor chooses to feign ignorance in order to pro ve the foreign growth o f thi s curious vegetable from which he derives so large a profit, my readers will, if they consent to follow me, be admitted into the mysteries of the trade. Nor need we cross the Channel or rub our long-for gotten French in our desire either to discover for ourselves the habits and history of the truffle, or to import so many pounds at a cheaper rate; for if these rough, black -looking vegetables co u ld s p ea k, th e y w o uld astonis h theiradmirers by declaring th emse l ves , i n broad vernacu lar English, to be natives of Wilts, Dorset, and Hants. More than three quarters of the quantity sold in London, and of the finest quality, arc produced in English soi l, and are in reality sup plied to the London markets by our village . labourers at a very low price; but as this is known to few, and as th e public imagine that a cheap English production must b e inferior to an expensive foreign one, so the wholesale dealers will continue to sell them at immense profit as a foreign importation. On the other hand, any purchaser may o bt a i n this coveted dainty at ve r y moderate prices direct from the country dealer; but as, unfortunately, the latter obtains few orders of this kind, he is forced to fall back on the London dealers, and supply their demand at their own prices, which are sure to be so low as to prevent him from deriving any profit from his trade,—Once a Week, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN INFURIATED SOLDIER —Henry Dower, a private of the 2d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards was charged before Mr. Knox, as follows : Mr. Mcßean, 332 A, said—At half-past nine last night I was called to the Crown Tavern in Heddon-court, Regent-street, and there found the prisoner making a great disturbance. The prisoner was put out of the house, and a comrade he had with him got him as far as Vigo street, when I was again called by the bystanders to pick the prisoner and his comrade out of the road, where they had both fallen. I pursuaded the prisoner to go away, but he refused, and knocked me down. Three or four soldiers coming by took the pri soner as far as Burlington-street, but not liking his vio lent conduct left the prisoner, who returned, and tried to force his way into the tavern, when the landlord gave him in charge. The prisoner again knocked me down and kicked me, and I had to send for four or five constables to help me to take the prisontr to the station owing to his vio lent conduct. Sergeant James Read, the prisoner's sergeant, said the prisoner's character was irregular. M'Bean—The kick the prisoner gave me was in the chest, and I can this morning scarcely breathe. The pri soner smashed my uniform hat, and also assaulted other constables at the station. Mr. Knox—l will have the case put back for a short time and let the landlord of the house attend, and (to Inspector Silverton) have the constable seen by the surgeon. On the case being resumed, Inspector Silverton handed Mr. Knox the following certificate : " I hereby certify that police-constable 332 A is suffer ing from fractured ribs. "H. T. R. Busit, M.R.C.S. "Warwick-street, Sept. 10." Mr. Edwin Wilsher, landlord of the Crown tavern, Heddon-court, Regent-street, said the prisoner came into the house with a gentleman, The gentleman then left, and prisoner created a great disturbance. He did not see the prisoner strike the constable. Mr. Knox (to M'Bean)—You acted very temperately, and I am grieved to see that you are injured. Go home and get plenty of rest. I shall remand the prisoner for a week. THAMES. A TEETOTALLER'S RELAPSE.—Esther Graham, a mar ried woman, was brought before Mr. Leigh, charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting police-constable Ebenezer Meads, 488 A. The constable stated that, at seven o'clock last evening, the prisoner was turned out of the Nelson public-house, in Back-road, Shad well. She was very noisy, and attempted to break the windows of the public-house. He requested her to move on, which she refused to do, and made use of the most foul and blasphemous language. He took her into custody, and she threw herself on the ground, and kicked and plunged fearfully, He procured assistance and took her to the station-house. The prisoner, in defence, said she had been a teetotaller three months, and during that time she had not tasted any spiritous liquors, wine, or beer. Yesterday some friends called upon her and made her drink some gin and ale. It took an effect upon her, and she could not say wha•; she said or what she did. If the magistrate would let her go she would be sober for three years. Mr. Leigh—You are fined three shillings. CIGARS AND CRINOLINE.—Esther Isaacs, a jewess, was brought before Mr. Leigh, charged with smuggling slbs, of cigars. Mr. John Penny, an examining officer of Excise, pro duced a huge crinoline, and said the prisoner was a pas senger in the Britannia steamship yesterday afternoon, and in and around the inside of her crinoline he discovered the five bags produced filled with cigars. The production of the crinoline and bags created immense laughter. The prisoner, a foreigner, said she brought the cigars from Holland for her husband to smoke during the ensuing Jewish holidays. Mr Selfe—Your husband could not smoke 5 lbs. of cigars in one week. You are fined 505., and, in default of pay ment, one month's imprisonment. Patrick and Michael Murphy, brothers, were charged with stealing soma empty chests from a grocer's stable They were allowed to go at large for a week, and their mother promised that they should be forthcoming on Thursday next. Two prisoners were brought up on remand and dis charged. The above constituted the whole of the business this morning, and were disposed of soon after 12 o'clock. Mr. Leigh remarked on the lightness of the calendar, Mr. Browdler, the second clerk—lt is the lightest day I remember during the 12 years I have been here, and I can only account for it by the thunder storm and heavy rains of last night which kept people within doors. Boulogne Nearly Fifty Years Ago. Boulogne in 1815, forty-eight well -sounded years ago, was a most insignificant and unsavoury fishing-village. The upper town, which is the a ncient and better one, was not very much different from what it is row ; but the lower town consisted chiefly of the Grande Rue, de l'Ecu, the Rue taut Perd tent Paye, and a couple of straggling streets filled with fishermen's huts, ill and irregularly built, smutty without and smoky within. There was then scarcely what could be called a harbour ; there was no pier whatever. There was no cus tom-house, but a wretched shed, exposed to the four winds of heaven, into which the few passen gers who arrived by sailing-boats were quickly huddled to be gruffly examined. Boats then rarely departed from Boulogne more than once a week, and the day of departure was never certain. I have known passage- boats wait for passengers, or for a wind, three or four days together—nay, occa sionally a week. Everybody then travelled by way of Calais; and even at Calais, in winter -time, the passengers were often not more than a dozen and seldom above five and twenty. In the principal port of debarkation in France you were then dragged into the harbour by haggard old poissardes, har nessed with ropes to their work, who carried your luggage to the hotels in wicker fish-baskets, sus pended from their half-broken backs. Boulogne, like Calais, was then lighted by tallow candles, let down by a cord and puliey from either side of the street. In Calais, in those days, it was, with these rude appliances, just like darkness visible; whereas at Boulogne, on what is now called the Port, the Quai de la Douane, the Rue tent Perd taut Paye, you could not grope your way without a lantern. There were in 1815 but three decent hotels in Bou logne—the Hotel d'Angleterre, in the Rue de l'Ecu; the Lion d'Or, in the same street ; and the Hotel de France. Now there are, at least, twenty hotels, great and small,of which a dozen are very tolerable and four or five excellent. In the early days of which I spe a k, b e d rooms a t Boulogne were charged one franc, thirty sous, and two franc s a-ni g ht, according to the size and floor in which you were placed. Breakfasts, plain, with coffee and an egg or two, were from tweety -five to thirty sous, and dinner at the tables d'hote, with vin ordinaire, from two francs, ten sous, to three francs. Now bedrooms are two, three, four, and five francs, according to the size and floor; breakfasts are two and three francs, and four francs, and dinner at the tables dhOte from three and a half to four, five, and six francs. Yet the accomodation is but a degree better, and the cookery is by no means so good as it was eight and-forty, forty, or thirty years ago.

Now the peerage and the scions of aristocracy are much less fast livers than in the days of George 111. and George I V-i when there was scarcely a young man of rank or fashion that did not gamble at the clubs, on the turf, at cock-fights, or on the prize-ring. In the moral character, therefore, though not in the rank, of its visitors, Boulogne has improved. _ „,,, Departure of the Channel Fleet from the Clyde. The Channel Fleet, under the command of Rear- Admiral Sydney C. Dacres, C. 8., left the Tail of the Bank on Tuesday afternoon, shortly after two o'clock. It was the intention of the admiral to have sailed on Monday, but, owing to the violence of the gale, h e d eemed it prudent to remain till Tuesday. The morning opened fine, all trace of the severe gale which visited the West Coast on the previous day having passed array, About ten o'clock, however, there were i ndications " dirty weather," and shortly afte r thathounrf rain began to fall heavily, accompanied with a t.igh wind from the west. It was again feared that the ships would not leave their anchorage that day, bat all surmise was ended shortly thereafter by the heavy volumes of smoke emitted from the funnels of the several ships, indi cating their getting up steam. Shortly before two o'clock signal was made to " weigh" from the flag ship, and bustle and activity reigned throughout the fleet in preparing for sea. Hundreds of men, in answer to the boatswain's whistle, busied themselves in a thousand and one employments that a ship of war requires to be executed ere she can leave her moorings. The pre liminary duties for casting loose having been executed, and everything in readiness for weighing anchor a second signal from the Admiral sent the men to the capstans ; and almost as soon as the signal flags fluttered from the masthead, the huge iron cables that hnd held the vessels to their moorings during the 8 days they have floated on the waters of the Firth, rose swiftly through the hawse pipes as they were gathered into the leviathans. The Resistance was the first to get under weigh, which she did in capital style, leading down the Firth ander easy steam. The Liverpool followed closely in her wake. Next came the flag-ship Edgar, her double deck tiers of gans and towering masts contrasting imposnigly with the square rig of the ironsides, which speedily followed. As the other ships of the equadron swung round to their positions, steam was put on, and ere little more than three-quarters of an hour had elapsed since the signal from the flag-ship had been given the whole magnificent fleet was bearing down Channel under steam. A signal from the ad miral's ship, as the fleet stood opposite Gourock Bay, caused the Liverpool and other lead ing ships to lie to, the flag-ship thereafter leading the van, followed by the Liverpool, Emerald, Re sistance, Black Prince, Warrior, Defence, and Royal Oak, in line. They proceeded in this order round Kempoch Point and beyond the Cloch, when the Edgar, Liverpool, and Emerald, after exchanging signals with the other ships, put about and returned to an anchorage off Battery Point, opposite Fort Matilda. The other ships proceeded under full steam, and were seen off Cambrae Heads steaming at a rapid rate. No demonstration took place on the fleet leaving. Flags fluttered from the flag-poles belonging to the several villas along the shore, and on being dipped as the admiral's ship passed this was courteously acknowledged by the flag-ship. The scene in Gourock Bay was a grand one, per haps the finest spectacle the fleet has afforded since its arrival. Such an assemblage of war ships awaiting the passing of the admiral's ship has sel dom been seen in the Clyde, and once seen can never be forgotten. Upon passing Toward Point a battery of guns was fired as the fleet passed out ; but no reply was given by the fleet. No reason can be assigned for the return of the three wooden ships; for although the weather was somewhat stormy, it was not so tempestuous but that such crack ships might have safely proceeded. The gunboat Trinculo, tender to the Edgar, never left her mooringe, and still remains at her anchorage. At the Westminster Police-court, on Tuesday; a man, who gave the name of George Turner, was charged with obtaining money fraudulently by the sale of an advowson which he did not possess. Towards the close of last year he advertised two advowsons for sale, and the Rev. J. Cook, of Hood Church, near Birkenhead, entered into correspondence with him as to one of them. This led to an interview, and Turner took Mr. Cox to Hardwick, near Wellingborough, which was the living be professed to have for sale. He showed him the church and the village, and afterwards an agreement was made that Turner, as the agent of Mr. James Wilson, of Clapham-common, should sell the advowson to Mr. Cox for £2,625, of which £3OO was to be paid down. The sum was paid down, but Mr. Cox's solicitors, tailing to get any con veyance of the advowson, put the matter into the hands of the police, who could find no Mr. James Wilson. Turner was apprehended at Bath, where, it is said, he was living as Sir Henry Seymour. In the course of the hearing it came out that about the time when he professed to sell the advowson to Mr. Cox he was negotiating, as he alleged, for its purchase from the real owners. He was remanded till Tuesday next, and bail was refused, as several other charges were preferred against him. SHOOTING AN ARCH BISHOP MYSTERY. — It has been stated in all the journals of Europe that on the night of the 19th of July the Archbishop of Utrecht was the victim of a murderous attack at his country house, near Bois le Due. The allegation was that he had been shot in the small of the back, that the ball had been ex tracted without his receiving any serious injury, and that no trace could be found of the assassin. Some surprise was expressed from the first that a shot should have been fired in the archbishrsp's house in the middle of the nigh t without some of his followers laying hands on the mur derer. And the astonishment of the public was greatly increased when it came out that the police were not in formed of the crime till twelve hours after its commission —i.e., at four in the afternoon, whereas the clergy o f the town knew of it at an e arl y hour in the morn ing. It is, moreover, affirmed that the surgeon who ex tracted the ball was asked to keep the affair secret, but he told the archbishop that his professional oath compelled him to make a report to the judicial authorities. It is ascertained that no robbery wa§ committed in the house. The archbishop has been interrogated by the magistrates, but nothing could be e xtracted from him to f ur th er t h e en d s of justice. A str an g e fact is, that the wadding of the pistol which has been found consists of a piece of a special almanack. used by accoucheurs for the purpose of reckoning tke probable period of a confinement. Wh en presse d b y ques ti on s the Archbishop (Mgr. Zwyzen) said he suspected a certain interdicted priest. But the magistrates, after in quiry, have come to the concl us i on th at t h ere i s no thi ng aga inst the individual in question, and that the indication must have been made for the purpose of putting the in quiry on a false scent. What interest the archbishop can have in making a mystery of this event is at present but a matter of conjecture. A POLICEMAN CHARGED WITH MURDER.-----A police-constable at Bury (Lancashire) has been committed to the New Bailey, Manchester, on the c harg e of murdering his wif e , i n F e b ruar y last. tbot month body of a woma n w a s found in the Bolton d Canal, at Pendleton, about two miles frora Manchester.

Meantime the police are engaged in getting up evidence against the prisoner, and it is expected application will be made to the Secretary of State for power to exhume the body of the woman found in the canal. MEN DELSSOUN'S SKETCH OF ROSSINI.—I called on him (Hillier) early yesterday morning. no sat there ? Rossini, big and stout, in a charming holiday humour. I really know few to equal him in wit and fun when he chooses ; we were laughing the whole time. I have promised him to have Sebastian Bach's mass, and some other things, performed for him by the Cecilia Society ; it will be something to make Rossini admire Sebastian Bach I However, he is for doing like the Romans at Rome, and howling with the wolves. He declares himself enchanted with Germany ; and, if he once gets the wine list anywhere near the Rhine, the waiter has to show him to his room, or he would not be able to find it. He tells the most laughable anecdotes of Paris and the musicians there, of himself and his own compositions, and is so defe rential in people's presence, that one might positively think him in earnest, had one no eyes to look upon his crafty face. But there is esprit, and liveliness, and wit in every feature and every word ; and whosoever will not allow, him genius need only hear him preach, and he will see reason to alter his opinion.--Mencleissoltres Correspondence, SECOND EDITION, SUN OFFICE, ML►LF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK.

The Zimmerman was looked upo n as one o f t h e "i ns tit u ti ons " of this neighb our . hood, and Captain Milloy as the moat popular commander on the Lake. Captain Milloy visited the steamer on the night of Thursday about 10 o'clock, found all safe, and went ashore to go to his house, which is situated about a mile from the Fiagara-wharf, leaving the watchman, Patrick Lawless, in charge. The fire was first discovered by the watchman, between the funnels, under the main deck, about a quarter to 2 o'clock in the morning. He speedily gave the alarm, arousing the second mate, Duncan Sinclair, and the crew. The pumps were quickly rigged and water plenti fully dashed on the flames by the crew ; but their efforts to subdue the fire were in vain. In a very few minutes the entire deck was one mass of flames, and the upper works in a blaze. The mate, Mr. M'Donnell, roused the ladies' maid, Mrs. Smith, who was asleep in the cabin, and with great difficulty got her ashore. He then returned to the deck to endeavour to do what was in his power to put out the fire, but he was driven back by the smoke and flames, and got on shore by one of the lines. The second mate, Mr., Sinclair, had been working alongside of him a few minutes before he escaped on shore, and Mr. M'Donnell is of opinion that he had endeavoured to get to the fore cabin to procure some of his clothing and perished in the attempt. The watchman, Patrick Lawless, when last seen was working at the pump, and while trying to reach the wharf he got entangled in the flames and was burnt to death. The rest of the crew escaped with slight bums, but lost all they possessed. The town was, of course, alarmed, and the brigade turned out with great alacrity. Capt. Milloy was early on the spot, and gave orders to endeavour to scuttle the steamer. The attempt proved futile, owing to the in tense heat, and, although the firemen continued their efforts till a late hour in the morning, the vessel was burned to the water's edge. She was allowed to drop down to the end of the dock, where she now lies on the shoal, a charred and shapeless wreck. The engines and boilers are rendered completely useless, and not a,vestigeoffurniture was saved . The Zimmerman was built at Niagara in 1856, to ply o n the route between Niagara and Tor onto, in connection with the Erie and Ontario Railway. In 1859 she was p ur chased from the trustees of Mr. Zimmerman by her popular corn. 1 mander, Captain Duncan Milloy,—Zoreitie akbe. n ed ut a )y d, ne 20 ce LP.18.4 13.14 25 10 st st 50 20 12.10 74 8 57i i 941 i
