XONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In disc oun t c i rcles to-day the inquiries indicate a further slight diminution of business ; no further variation, however, can be reported in the rates charged for first-class bills. The biddings for 30,00,000 rupees (.£300,000), in bills on India, took place yesterday at the Bank of Eng'lPnd. The proportions allotted were, to Cal cutta 16,80,000 rupees, to Bombay 12,00,000 rupees, to .Madras 2,00.000 rupees. The declared mii.imum Nice Was as before -Is. 111,-d. per rupee on Calcutta, and ls. 1 lid. on Bombay and Madras. The appli elti ° ll B within the limits amounted to 251 laws. :renders on Calcutta above the minimum will receive 111 f ull, to those at the minimum there will be no allotment; on Bombay, at minimum, about 16 per Ce nt.; and on M a d ras a b out 80 per cent . will be allotted. About £lO,OOO in gold was taken into the Bank yeatErday. The bar silver by the Seine has been sold at 5s ld per oz., showing no alteration from the price realised for the previous supply. At the h a lf-y ear ly meeting to-day of the share holders of the English and Australian Copper Com- NnY, Mr. Ralph in the chair, the report stated that the average price at which copper had been sold during the six months, flom let July to 31st December, 1862, amounted to £96 19a. sd. per ton. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under Great Western 186 3. 1862.

THE SERIOUS ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Ann Poi lendiue, cook in the service of Mr. John Dickenson Betts, tea dealer, of 262, Oxford-street, charged with stealing about £lO received by her at various times from her mis tress to pay tradesmen's bills, was brought up for final ex amination. Mr. John Spiers, butcher, of Great Portland-street, said that Mr. Betts dealt with him, and the sum of £37 NI as due to him (Mr. Spiers) ; Mr. Thomas Balky, of George street, Grosvenor• square, milkman, said that XI lOs was due to him on the 4th of August, but Mr. Betts had paid him since; Mr. W. Hay, of 6, North Audley-street, baker, said the amount of his bill was £6 10s. Mrs. Betts said that she had given the prisoner the money to pay each tradesman's bill every week. Sergeant Cole, 23 0, said it was the practice of the pri soner to destroy the bills she received from the tradesmen, and then to make out fresh ones herself. The prisoner said that she did not know the amount was so much as £4O, and that she intended to make it up, as people owed her money. _ . _ The prisoner said she had no questions to ask—she was guilty. V Mr. Betts atked that the case might be at once deal with, but this course being refused the prisoner was corn mitted for trial. TIIAIVIES. DREADFUL SCENE IN BLUEGATE• FIELDS.—Mary Ann Mahoney, a masculine Irish woman, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with being drunk and aisorderly in that horrible place Bluegate-fields, Shadwell, which is in habited by thieves, ruffians, prostitutes, and other bad cha racters, and where numberless eutrages and robberies have been perpetrated. Robert Thimbleby, a police constable, 119 K, stated that at half-past two o'clock this morning he was on duty in High-street, Shad well, and heard cries of murder and police. Hew ent to Bluegate Fields whence the cries proceeded, and almost immediately afterwards the second floor window of one of the infamous houses in the street was opened, and a man in his night clothes jumped out, and fell on the stones below. The man was dreadfully mutilated, and was con veyed to the London Hospital in a cab. The poor fellow, a sailor, said he accompanied the prisoner to the brothel in Bluegate-fields, and in the middle of the night she took away his trousers, the pockets of which contained Li 108. in gold and 3s. in silver. She was leaving the room with the trousers when he seized her, and a struggle took place. She chased him round the room with a poker, and, fearful of being murdered, he opened the window and jumped out into the street. He recovered the sailor's clothes and money. The prisoner left the house directly after the sailor jumped into the street, and was very dis orderly. She made use of foul language, and exposed her self in a most flagrant manner. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had been frequently in his custody for assaults, disorderly conduct, and felonies. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner was a very bad woman and it was probable she would have to answer a charge of attempting to rob the sailor. He sentenced her to 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. YORK AUGUST MEETING.—`WEDNESDAY, Wednesday and Thursday are considered the great days at York both as regards aspect and attendance. The rain, which came on with a steady downpour this morning, soon after Mr. Tattersall commenced to sell Col. Towneley's yearlings, considerably interfered, however, with the latter. Ot the racing, the same reason that precluded lengthened details yesterday will operate to-day, and we most leave the telegraph to tell the tale of the Great Ebor. The result of the Two-yr-old Biennial proved the correctness of public running, Linda having the race in hand from the first, and winning with consummate ease by two lengths, Apennine finishing in the same place he did yesterday. The Ebor St. Leger was credited to the account of Lord Glasgow, and the itawcliffa Stakes, for which Procella was made a warm favourite, was won easily by Lard Zetland's Sara- gossa. The Londesborough Cup of 50 sovs, added to a handicap stakes of 5 sovs each, for all ages. Three-quarters of a mile. 13 subs. Lord Stanford's Bertha, 4 yrs, 7st 121 h .. (A. Edwards) 1 Col.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Bertha, sto 1 agst Merry Hart, 6to 1 each agst Cellarius, the Calliope colt, and Little Pippin, 10 to 1 agst any other. Merry Hart made play, closely attended by Topgy, Bertha, and Cellarius to the half-mile post, where the forraer was headed by Bertha, who carried on the running to the bend, when Topsy rushed to the front, and came on with the command to the distance, where Lord Stem ford's filly once more appeared in advance, followed by Cellarius, Merry Hart, and Balderstone. These positions were retained to the end, Bertha winning with ridiculous ease by three lengths, four lengths separating the second and third; Merry Hart was * fourth, Anonyma fifth, the Calliope colt sixth, and the Flash filly next. Little Pippin was last. The First Year of the Eighth North of England Biennial Stakes of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 100 added, b r foals of 1861; colts Bst ',lolb, fillies Bst 51b.

The favourite, lying next the rails, was the first away, having Apennine in the centre, with Alice Fauconberg, Beatrice, Prince Arthur, and the Phemy filly lying in a cluster at her heels. They ran thus for a quarter of a mile, when Alice Fauconberg, in company with John Scott's two, disappeared from the front. Apennine at the same time joined Linda, followed by Prince Arthur and Mr. Merry's filly to half-way in the distance, when Challoner let out the favourite, and won in a canter by two lengths; double that distance divided the second and third, and half a length separated the third from the fourth. Mahometan and Beatrice, side by side, were the next; Jeu de Mot was last, beaten off a long way. The Ebor St. Leger of 25 sovs each, for 3-yr-olds; colts, Bst 101 b; fillies, Bst 51b. Winners extra.

The quartette ran in company, Vanessa with a slight lead, to the distance, when they split, and in a few strides fur ther Saragossa went to the front, and won in a canter by a length; there were three lengths between the second and third; the favourite was beaten off a long way.

Shortly after starting, Bellman, making use of his favour able weight, rushed to the front, and made play at his best pace, Golden Pledge going on second, Carisbrook third, with Clarior, Captain Crow, and Brighton, nearly abreast, the extreme rear being brought up by Oldminster and Trust; passing Dringhouse's Golden Pledge joined Bellman, and somewhat improved the pace, the pair drawing away several lengths in advance of Captain Crow, Brighton, division, who were closely followed by the Monk, Piccador, and Melrose to the turn by the woodside, rounding which Golden Pledge ran up to Bellman, who was in difficulties as they neartd the three-quarters of a mile post, and shortly afterwards his new owner's showy colours were raise° Clarior, and Carisbrook, Golden Pledge then came o with a commanding lead, having Captain Crow, Piccador, The Monk, Oldminster, and Trust as his immediate fol lowers to the bend into the straight, where the two last named came through their horses, and came on at the girths of Mr. Hudson's colt to the distance, where, the weight telling upon Oldminster, he gradually gave way, and half way down was out of the race. Golden Pledge maintained his advantage to the enclosure, where little Marson, reserving himself for a final effort, headea the Captain, and for a brief period appeared to be catching the leader, but, dying away shortly atter, he was beaten easily by two lengths ; four lengths between the second and third; Piccador was fourth, and the Monk fifth; then came Clarior, Carisbrook, and Oldminster side by side; next the two last were Bellman and Brighton, who did not pass the post.

WILDING, of Montgomery ; proposed the Liberal candidate, the Hon. Charles Hanbury Tracey, and was seconded by Major DREW, of Newtown. The Rev. R. I. HARRISON, of Caerbowell, pro posed Captain Charles Vaughan Pugh, who, he said, as the son and brother-in-law of former repre sentatives, had strong personal claims upon the electors. Mr. M. L. JONES, of Welchpool, seconded the nomination. Mr. '['RACY then addressed the electors. After referring to his career as a naval officer, and the benefits that had accrued to the country from free trade, he said that, if returned, he should give his support to any well-conceived measure of economy and retrenchment. He was of opinion, however, that our land and sea forces should be maintained in a state of the most perfect Efficiency, and that onr sea coast should be adEquately protected by fortifications. He was opposed to compensation being made for any losses sustained by the aboli tion of church rates. He sympsthised with the Southern States, who were struggling for indepen dence, and he approved the policy of the present Government. Captain PUGS then expressed concurrence in most of the sentiments avowed by his opponent. He differed from him on the subject of church rates, which he should not like to see abolished ex cept for an equivalent. A show of hands was taken, and decided to be in favour of Captain Pugh. A poll was then demanded, and was fixed to take place yesterday. The polling took place yesterday, which resulted in the return of Mr. Tracy, the Liberal, by a large majority.

The following letter, in reference to the losses sustained by this fine regiment at Peshawur, says the North British Daily 2llail, has been addressed by the Commander-inLehief of the Forces in India to the officer commanding the regiment. It speaks in the highest terms of the discipline and conduct of all ranks throughout the trying ordeal through which they passed. In the midst of disease or battle the conduct of this favourite and distinguished regiment is above all praise, and while it earns such encomiums from the military authorities of India, its "thin red line" at Balak:ava is imperishably connected with the fame and history of the late Lord Clyde, as its entire career is with the triumphs of the British army on every great battle-field : is REGIMENTAL ORDERS.—Sealkot, 21st M 837. —The fol lowing letter is published for general information :—Adju tant-General's Office, Head-quarters, Simla, 11th May, 1563. Sir,—l have the honour of submitting to his Excel lency the Commander-in-Chief your confidential report of your inspection of the 93d Sutherland Highlanders, for the second period of 1362, in the general observations at tached to which you gave a short account of the regiment for the few months preceding your inspection, during which it suffered very severely from repeated attacks of cholera. His Excellency perused your report with very great inte rest. The Commander-in-Chief sympathises deeply with the regiment in the loss they have sustained in the late Major Middleton, an officer for whom his Excellency had personally a great regard, and of whose ability as a commanding officer he had a very high opinion. His excellency also regrets extremely the deaths of Lieutenant-Colonel M`Donald, Ensign Drysdale, and Assistant-Surgeon Hope. It is most gratifying to the Commander-in-Chief to learn that the conduct of all ranks throughout that trying season was so admirable, and that, notwithstanding the adverse influence of cholera and fever, the drill and discipline of the 93d Highlanders did not suffer in any way—a state of things which reflects the greatest credit on Major Burroughs, the officers, and non-commis sioned offlecis and men of this very distinguished regiment, in whose welfare his excellency takes the greatest interest. His excellency has had great pleasure in making known to his Royal Highness the Field •Marshal Commanding-in- Chief the excellent conduct of the regiment, and his very favourable opinion of it; and he has also made special mention of the devotion, ability, and excellent service of Dr. Munro, not forgetting the valuable assistance he derived from his subordinates.--Signed IlExuY TORILENS, adju tant-general ; GEORGE RoE FENWICIi, captain, acting • adjutant 03d Highlanders.—To Brigadier-Gera) (-; * 11 ') commanding N,shawar Division.': SOUTH AMERICA. (REUTERS EXPRESS.) (Per French steamer Navarre via Bordeaux.) BUENOS AYRES, July 5. The signal defeat of Penazola in Cordova by the Government troops has restored peace to the entire country. The revolution in the Uruguay Republic is also fast dying out, and the National Govern ment, with prospects of a permanent peace, is deter mined to push the cotton enterprise ahead. The currency question still occupies much atten tion, and several plans are proposed for its refor mation. One is that tho public sands should be sold, and thus reduce the amount of paper in circu lation. It is stated that Government is about to apply for a loan in England, for the purpose of making the paper dollar payable in specie at a fixed rate. Immigration is steadily on the increase, and scarcely a day passes without fresh arrivals. Business is very dull, and money unreasonably dull. Ounces rule at the same rate us on the sailing of the English mail. Freights are dull, as cargoes are very scarce, and the report that the Alabama is at the month of the River Plate keeps many Ame rican vessels which are already laden from leaving port. Monte Video advices say that an American man of-war, said to be the Onward, carrying 18 guns and 150 men, has come down in search of tl.e Alabama, but serious doubts are entertained as to her being able to take such a formidable privateer. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Brazil bas directed a circular to the presidents of the different provinces, directing them to prohibit the entry to any of the ports of the empire of the above vessel, she having infringed the articles contained in the circular of Ist August, 1861. _ BAiltA, July 25. The demand for sugar continues, particularly for browns and superior qualities of whites ; sales of the former have been effected at 1,800 dols. to 1,900 dole, per arroba, at which prices are firm ; for good whites 2,400 dole. to 2,430 dole. has been paid; ordinary descriptions are neglected, and sales have taken place at various prices down to 2,000 dole. Stocks in first hands are nearly exhausted; with exchange at 261 d, sugar stands in 17s 2d to 18s ld, and 18311 d to 22s 10d per cwt, free on board, freight excluded. Stocks of cotton are insignificant; several hundred bales have been sold at 19 dole, per arroba for exportation. Supplies of coffee come unsparingly, a few hundred bags have appeared at market and sold at 5,800 dols. to 6,000 dols. per arroba. Of cocoa there is none in the market.

ANOTHER MURDER 1N TIPPERMY.—NENAGH, Sunday Evening.—Last night about 10 o'clock, a servant boy named Michael Nowlan, was stabbed in the thigh at the upper end of Pound-street, in that town. He died this morning at 6 o'clock. Had he been attended to an hour earlier that he was by a medical gentleman, it is considered he would have survived the injury, for he had almost bled to death when found lying at the end of the pound-house. The doctor (Surgeon M‘lieogh) being im mediately sent for, did all that medical skill cculd devise. When Nolan found there was no hope of his recovery, he declared that he had been stabbed with a knife by a baker named Michael Flannery, who lived in the house next to that where he was discovered. There was a quantity of blood outside the door of the accused. Flannery has been remanded to the county prison for further examination by Mr. Fleming, R.M. The inquest will not be held until to morrow, in order to afford rile police, thee to collect evi dence, which up to this is very vague in the ease. Flan nery bears an excellent character as an inoffensive aad in -IY^wo. Bank of England Return,---This Day.

The Insurrection in Poland, (REUTERS EXPRESS.) ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 14. The Invalide Busse of today publishes the reports of Russian officers of various engagements which have recently occurred in the liovernments of Kowno and Grodno, at Wielokoebagno, in the vil lages of Ignalki and Makarowo (district of Bialy stock), at Lipniki near Labludowo, near the town of Oviia upon the Narew, where M. Prussakow, a Cossack officer of rank, was killed, in the forest of Brzedzicyew near Hiani (district of Kowno), in the forest of Konnavow (same district), in the village of Kekety (district Kosienic), at Klikol (district Schawle), at Metzkuny (same district.); and, lastly, at the village Barbilicheki, where a Russian colonel was hurt. Yesterday's Inrahcle says—".lnsurgent bands continue to assemble upon the frontiers of Galicia. We have not, however, learnt that any fresh attempt at invasion has taken place." The Russian papers announce that lamentable conflagrations have taken place in the city of Kiew, the loss incurred being estimated at 2,000,000 f. The Courrier of Odessa states that the capital of the English company which has undertaken to construct the railroad between Moscow and Sebas topol amounts to 156 million roubles (624,000,000 f.) The chief engineer of the company, Mr. Bartle, is now engaged in examining the route and pre paring the plans. CRACOW, Aug. 15. The C:as of to-day publishes a report of the in surgent leaders Cminewiez and C wick, addressed to the National Government, giving the d e t a il s o f a victory gained over the Russians in the Govern ment of Lublin. Two Polish detachments engaged a Russian column composed of three companies of infantry and a sotnia of Cossacks, for six hours, near the villages of Bepultyche and Pokrowka. The Russians were successfully dislodged from three strong positions, and retreated in the greatest disorder to Krasuystaw, leaving 90 dead upon the field, and having hidden 60 more in a village inn, which they set on fire. The number of the Russians wounded was also large, including the military commandant of the district of Chelm, and Major Buchner, w h o put the Poli s h woun d ed and pr i soners to the torture at Rybezowice. This brilliant suc cess cost the Poles 14 killed and 39 wounded, among whom were two officers, MM. Korsynski and Koczerowski. The Czas also publishes the following intelligence from Warsaw :—" Two companies of Russian in fantry, While passing through the village of nue zyn, near Siedlce, intercepted a large quantity of brandy, and in their intoxication pillaged an adja cent country house. A farmer of the village, Adbm. Lisekiewick, was seized, garotted, and cruelly mal treated. His sister only succeeded in escaping death by taking refuge in the grounds attached to the villa. The aged mother of the proprietor fell upon her knees before the image of the Virgin, im ploring her protection, but was followed and beaten. by four officers with the butt-ends of muskets. The troops pillaged and destroyed everything upon which they could lay hands. They stole 28,000 Polish florins in bank notes and bills, and as much more in gold and silver. The priest of the village and several of the inhabitants were left completely destitute. The entire damage done is estimated at 200,000 florins." GENERAL WINDHAM AND LORD CLYDE.—When a sufficient number of troops had been organised, Sir Colin took the field and marched to the relief of Luck now, where Havelock and Outram, who had gone to the relief of the beleagured garrison, under Sir John Inglis, were themselves being beleagured in turn. He was com pelled to leave a force under General Windham for the de fence of Cawnpore; and the troops he took with him, though sufficient for the relief of the place, was insufficient for its occupation in the face of a turbulent and warlike popu lation. He forced his way, however, into the garri son, relieving them from the storm to which they had been subjected for several months ; and then feeling the necessity of abandoning the town until insurrection in the rest of India was quelled, he organised a plan of retreat by which the garrison, the civilians, the women and the children, were brought out of the palace and through the streets of an extensive town filled with an entirely hostile population without the loss of a man or without the insurgents being able to comprehend what was going on. Having placed them in safety, he made a rapid march back to Cawnpore, where his presence was sorely needed. For Windham had allowed himself to be drawn out of his entrenchments by the Sepoys, and had fallen into an ambuscade, where he suffered a reverse which well nigh destroyed the prestige of the British army in India at that most critical period. The troops ere retreat ing in confusion, sorely pressed by the enemy, when Sr Colin, with a small detachment, galloped acres the brides that spans the river there, and retrieved the fortune of he ktzper.
