MONEY MARKE T AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The general discount market is still disturbed by the expectation of dearer money. Many parties limit the time till to•morrow, when the usual weekly Court of the Bank of England Directors takes place. Accordingly bankers and brokers are in no mood to transact business at present rates, and it is only first-class bills that can be negotiated at 7 and 74 per cent. Under these circumstances the com mercial public, whose position enables them, resort for assistance to the national establishment.

COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lords Justices.) XNOX V. GYE-THE ROYAL ITALIAN OFERA. Their lordship; delivered judgment in this case, which was an appeal from the decision of Vice-Chancellor Wood' before whom the case was originally heard. It was a suit instituted for the declaration of a partnership between Col. Brownlow Knox and Mr Frederick Gye, in the Royal Italian Opera, Covent-garden. Mr Gye denied that a partnership existed between himself and Col. Knox, and the Vice-Chancellor decided in favour of Mr Gye. The case was taken on appeal to the Lords Justices, and there argued at great length, but their lordships reserved their decisi3n. This morning their lordships gave judgment, and after going at great length into the complicated matters, directed the bill to be dismissed with £250 costs, without prejudice to several questions that had been raised during the arguments. The result of the judgment, more than likely, will be an appeal to the House of Lords. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Common Jury.) BANCROFT V. BANCROFT. The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Swabey appeared for the petitioner, and Mr Chambers, Q,C., Mr Sergeant Ballan tine, and Dr. Spinks and Mr Stavely llill for the respon dents. It will be remembered that this case was part heard on Saturday, and that it was a suit by Mrs Bancroft for judi cial separation on the ground of cruelty, which the respon dent, a printer, at Manchester, denied. He had also com menced a cross-suit, in which he charged Mrs Bancroft with adultery with her own brother-in-law, Mr. Rumney. The hearing of the case was resumed this morning, when the following evidence was adduced on behalf of the respondent, Mr Bancroft. Peter Elkington said he was for 14 years foreman to the respondent. He knew the petitioner's brother-in-law, Mr Rumney, with whom the adultery was charged, and who resided near the respondents. After the marriage he had frequently occasion to go to Mr Bancroft's office, and one day he saw Mrs Bancroft and Mr Rumney together there, and his arm was over her shoulder. That was about one o'clock in the day and three weeks after marriage. On another occasion he saw them in a kind of kitchen at Mr Bancroft's and they were sitting on a couch. Mr Rumney had one arm round Mrs Bancroft's neck and one hand was under her clothes. He identified a photographic likeness of Mr Rumney. In cross• examination he said he was a married man and had a family. The marriage took place on the Bth of April, 1863. He was shocked at what he saw between Mrs Ban croft and Mr Rumney; he did n•ot mention anything about it to, until he heard that he was about to commence a suit for a divorce. He was engaged in getting up evidence for Mr Bancroft, and for that purpose went to different brothels in Manchester. A man named Walker accompanied him on some occas;ons, and he was accompanied also by a man named Speller. Sometimes Mr Bancroft went with him. Mrs Catherine Pilkington, wife of the last witness, said that about a fortnight after the marriage she saw Mr Rum ney come to the office during the absence of Mr Bancroft, She was at the houso for about five weeks after the mar riage, and Mr Rumney called three times during that time. She saw Mr Rumney coming down stairs on one occasion. There were four bed rooms upstairs. Mrs Bancroft said he had been in the closet. _ _ In cross-examination she said that she did not tell her husband anything about what she had seen for soma time after, and he said nothing to her about having seen any kissing. The case was proceeding when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. IMPUDENT ItOBEERY.--John Cooper, a lad, who de scribed himself as a maker of paper roses in summer and working in a brickfield in winter, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with stealing a box of cigars from the shop of Mr Thomas Clarence, tobacconist, of Church-passage, Picca dilly. From the evidence of Mr Clarence, it appeared that a little after nine o'clock last night the prisoner stepped a short distance into his shop and then stretched out his hand and drew from the counter a box of cigars, and ran out of the shop. He pursued the prisoner, and caught him with the box under his arm. On stopping the prisoner he threw the box away, and then made off again, but he succeeded in catching him and gave him into custody. The prisoner said he was a maker of paper roses in sum mer, and in winter he was employed in brick making. A shoeblack gave him the box as he was passing down Church • passage. He told the shoeblack he did not want the box, and struck the shoeblack and then ran away, and after wards the prosecutor came up and said he had stolen a box of cigars. Sergeant Boson, 12 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody. The prisoner wished the case settled at once, and Mr Tyrwhitt committed him for three months with hard labour. THAMES. CRUELTY TO AN ANIMAL.—EXTRAORDINARY CASE,— Mr Mark Ayers, the landlord of the "Crown Tavern," a public house situate at a place called the Orchard House, Poplar, appeared before Mr Paget, to answer a summons taken out by George Young, a constable in the service of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who charged the defendant with cruelly ill.treating and texturing a dog. Mr Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution for the Royal Society; Mr Gomm appeared for tho defence. It appeared from the evidence of Alfred Thomas, a mechanic, that on Tuesday, the 21st of June last, he went into the parlour of the Crown to obtain some refreshments He had a dog with him, which he allowed to run loo se about the house. He was in the parlour `l,O or 25 minute when he heard the cries of his dog in the yard. He hastened into the yard as quickly as p•Jssible, and saw the defendant, who was armed with a thick stick, beating the dog as hard as he was able. He asked the defendant what he meant by such conduct, and he replied that the dog had been killing his chickens. The dog was killed by the defendant. In cross-examination by Mr Gomm the witness said that when he first saw the dog in the defendant's yard it wc,s behind a tub. The defendant said the dog was not yet dead, and beat it again with the stick, and flung it on the ground. John Patrick, a moulder, stated that he was sitting at the window of the Crown tavern, and heard the cries of the dog. He saw the defendant beating it unmercifully with the stick in his hand. Mr Gomm, in defence, urged there was no cruelty in the case, and that the defendant seeing the dog among the fowls in the yard where his children were playing became alarmed, and went into the yard, where he found two of his chickens killed and the children alarmed. The defendant took up a stick and struck the dog a few blows and killed it. Three witnessed were called for the defenco, who said no unncessary craelty or torture was used, and that the defen dant struck the dog three blows and killed it. One of the witnesse s caused some amusement by saying that the dog ate tr i o of the defendant's fowls, and only left three feathers, 1r Paget thought it strange that a dog should eat fea thers, and the defendant said that the complainant's dog killed two of his chickens and ate one and a half. The other half was left. Evidence was then given that Thomas took two dogs of the lurcher species into the Crown, and that he 'sept one securely fastened with him in the parlou;. The other, which was represented to be 3 months e_ d d 14 days old, was allowed to range about the premi:„ es . Der Paget said this was a - (cry proper prosecution on the part of the.' Royal Socie4 for the Prev e nti on o f C rue l ty to ght the defendant was gu ilt y o f a very Animals. He ther .. cruel and a ver4 brutal act, b u t h e b e li eve d it was done hastily and without premeditation. The defence set up was not () WAWA° either to the, defendant or his witnesses. It was a ridiculous defer,ce. It was very improbable that the tob that was beatan to death ate the fowls. As to any alarm for the children it was a trumped up story. He fined the defendant 208 for cruelty to a dog, to pay 20s compensation for the loss of the animal, and to pay 25s costs. The defendant imn:Adiately paid the money. THE O A..sE OF MRS. YELTERTON.—The further consider ation of this case, which will be the judgment, has beer . postponed to Thursday (to-morrow). A FIGHT BETWEEN AN ELEPHANT AND A BULL. Whoa the elephant was brought to the Place des Taureaux a fiery yuung bull was turned out. The bull advanced against his terrible adversary without evincing the slightest fear. Ha attempted to flank him in order to wound him ; but the elephant, exhibiting an equal agility in his motion, did not suffar him to approach. Finally the bull attacked him in front ; bat everywhere con fronted by the formidable tusks, which interposed an impregnable barrier, he did not succeed in wounding him. At last, in one of the assaults, the bull succeeded in thrusting his head beneath the tusks; but, before he could penetrate the tough hide of the elephant, he fell to the earth. The spectators only saw the elephant bend his head slightly, and rest the extremities of his tusks which had been plugged, upon the back of the bull. From that moment the bull was hors de combat, and when they afterwards killed him it was found ~that three ribs were completely crushed by the almost imperceptible movement the elephant had made in holding him with his tusks.-111ad7 id paper. WASTE OF WAR.—In the last twelvemonth the Federal army have lost by death, capture, or otherwise, 57,676 horses and 17,190 mules —more than one horse out of every four, and nearly one mule in every seven. This un precedented destruction of horses and mules will have to be arrested, or it will be impossible to remount our cavalry and provide for our artillery and waggon trains.—American paper.

Arcliceological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, WARWICK, Tuesday. The annual meeting of this body was opened here this afternoon under distinguished auspices. The inaugural meeting was held at the Court-house, where a large number of archreelogists and ladies of Warwickshire attended. On the platform were the Marquis Camden, Lord Leigh, the Bishop of Oxford, Mr Greaves, M.P., Archdeacon Sandford, Dr Hooke (Dean of Chichester), DrWhewell (Master of Trinity College, Cambridge), Dr Guest (Master of Gonville and Caine College, Cambridge), Mr Bracebridge, Mr Beresford Hope, Sir John Boyleau, and Sir H. Kirby, C.B. The Marquis Camden having resigned the post of president to Lord Leigh, and the Corporation of Warwick having presented an address of con gratulation, The PPESIDENT-ELECT, (Lord Leigh) delivered a brief inaugural address. He considered it a high honour to be called upon to preside over the deliber ations of a society that had saved so many objects of interest in the country from destruction, and trusted they should derive great pleasure from their visit to Warwick and to the ancient castle of Kenil worth, which, in the " golden drys," had been visited by good Queen Bess. Dr WHEWELL and Mr. GREAVES, M.P., added a few words in commendation of the object of their meetings. _ Mr BEItESFORD HOPE acknowledged the kind= news with which the society had been received. corned the society to the diocese of War - Archdeacon SANDFORD ces t e r, and spoke of , for the clergy, wel the valuable set vices rendered by archmology in the restoration of the sacred fabrics of the land, not only from ancient barbarism, but from the Goths and Vandals of modarn times, the mistaken zeal of churchwardens and clergy, and from utilitarian seffishness. (Applause.) The Bishop of OXFORD rose to acknowledge the welcome that had been given to the society by vari ous bodies, and particularly by the clergy of the diocese. Coming there as aret wologists, they looked back and thought of the long roll of worthies connected with the county that they mighty refer to. He might begin with the great name of Wul sten, than which there was no greater name among Saxon worthies, and, going rapidly down the list, they came to a mediaeval name , the great Dr. Parr, who certainly would have astonished Wulstan if he had seen him. Still farther down the list they crowning all—they Then the great reign ing Abbot of Leigh had received them with more i f n ou g nd o l e lo t b h e r r e t e of to C g h e i t c h h e e r s_ter p — ar ( r a ,B l a:gb)—and, unit it, Chichester's fti might a n w d e l t b h e e p r g o r u e d a t o f lV t h a e l m s n T than abbatial hospitality. it was not only in the gratification of those who came to these meetings that they were serviceable, ')ut it Was also that they might engraft on others their peculiar insanity, that they might, as it were, bite them and make them as mad as themselves. (Laughter.) Everything, he would say, that tended to make them live out of the mere present, and to carry them back to the past, had a tendency to carry them on to the future ; therefore it was not as mere old mites living in some remote cheese, but as men loving the past and look., ing on to the future, that they came among them and heartily thanked them for the reception they had given them. Mr BRACEBRIDGE called the attention of the visitors to a dungeon under the old gaol which had been visited by the philanthropic Howard. Mr BLOISOME gave a short history of the county, and showed that it had been visited by many crowned heads—Edward 1 . , 11., and IV., Richard I. and 111., Henry VII•, Elizabeth, lames 1., Charles I. and IL, William 111., George IV., Wil• Liam IV., and Queen Victcria. Amongst its poets were Drayton, Shakspere, Somerville, and Walter Savage Landor, still living. He was glad to con trast the language of public addresses of the pre- sent time, such as that they had received from the corporation of Warwick that day with the language used in former times. In the reign of Queen Eliza beth they would remember that the people of Co ventry, being told that the Queen admired poetry, hired a poet to apostrophise her Majesty, and an address couched in the following terms was pre sented to the Queen " We men of Coventry Are very glad to see Your gracious Majesty— Good Lord, how f a i r ye be I" To which Queen Elizabeth i s sa id to have replied 6, Our gracious Majesty Is very glad to see The men of Coventry— Good lack, what fools ye be l" (Laughter.) This concluded the formal business of the morn ing, and Mr PETET then read a paper on the painted glass in the Beauchamp Chapel, after which the chapel was visited. To-morrow Warwick and Kenilworth Castles will be visited.

C.ayla, on tho subject of the Devi!, entitled " Le Diable, sa Gran deur et sa Decadence.". EEALTH OP LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The deaths in London, which were 1,300 in the second week of July, rose to 1,399 in the week that ended last Saturday. The average number of deaths in the twenty ninth week of the ten years 1854-63 is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,266. The mortality was high for the third week of July, for the actual number of deaths exceeded the estimated number by 133. The increase in deaths over those of the previous week arises in great measure from summer diarrhoea. The weekly number of fatal cases of this complaint had been gradually rising, but had not attained 100 till last week, when it quickly rose to 145, Of these 145 cases, 23 occurred in the West districts, 31 in the North, 22 in the Central, 38 in the East, and 26 in the South districts. Six deaths from diarrhoea were returned in the Belgrave sub-district, 11 in Pancras, 9 in Islington, 8 in Clerkenwell, 10 in Shoreditch, Bin Mile•end Old Town, 6in Poplar. The whole of the deaths caused by diarrheas, with the exception of 14, occur red to children under two years of age. Besides these, 6 deaths were referred to cholera. Seventy-four children died of measles, half of whom died in the East districts, in which division of the metropolis both measles and diarrhcoa appear chiefly to prevail. There were 5 deaths from measles in St. Mary, Paddington. There is much scarlatina in the sub-district of St. John, Westminster. The increase of the mortality in the week arose from the complaints that are fatal to children. The deaths of persons under 20 years of age increased from 693 in the previous week to 810 last week; those of persons 60 years old and upwards declined from 238 to 198. Deaths by convulsions rose from 38 to 71 ; those by developmental diseases of children front 24 to 42 ; those by atrophy and debility (amongst children) from 62 to 74. A cabinetmaker, aged 63 years, died on the 4th inst., at 11, Little Paternoster-row, Christchurch, Spitalfields, from degeneration of the heart, accelerated by privation and want of food. Last week, the births of 976 boys and 891 girls, in all 1,870 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor responding weeks of the years 1854-63 the average number (corrected) was 1,831. KAMUTS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The supply of home-grown wheat on sale here to-day was seasonably good, and most samples came to hand in excellent condition, The demand, both for red and white qualities, was far from active ; nevertheless, Monday's prices were supported. With foreign wheat the market was fairly supplied. The amount of business transacted, both in American and continental descriptions, was very moderate, yet the quotations ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, at full currencies. The supply of barley on the stands was very moderate. The trade, however, was very quiet, and prices ruled, in some instances, the turn easier. Malt changed hands to a moderate extent at late rates. Oats were in good supply, and slow request, on rather easier terms. Beans and peas ruled firm, and Monday's prices were fully supported. The flour trade was steady, at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2i per mile pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.20 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold hi rather more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than is London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mar and the short exchanV on London is 13.5 k per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 3-10 the per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg. The Directors of the National Bank have issued their half-yearly report. The accounts, which are brought down to the 39th Jane last, show that, in addition to the £500,000 profit on the issue of new shares the nett ordinary profits of the Bank for that period amounted to £89,567 ls. In estimating the progress of the Bank this sum has to be compared with a profit of L 49,067 15s 10d, which was the amount earned for the corresponding half-year of 1863. The Directors have, however, declared their ordinary and extraordinary dividends at the same rates as on the last occasion, feeling that until new and old shares shall stand up to an c qual amount, viz., £3O per share, it will be more equitable to accu• mulate in the reserve fund the amount of profits realised in excess of the rates of dividends latterly paid. For the half-year ending the 30th June the dividend on the old shares is therefore declared at the:rate of 8 per cent. per annum, with an extra dividend of 16s per share, making together £2 per sham for the half-year, and the dividend on the new shares is declared in grose at 6s 8d per share, the dividends on both being free of income tax. The increase to the Rest or undivided profits (in cluding the premium on new shares) will therefore, after the payment of these dividends, amount on, the half-year to £542,900 7s Bd. THE RIGHT OF MIGH7.-A remarkable case oc4 curred recently at New York, Col. Arguelles, Lieut- tenant-Governor of the district of Colon, in Cuba, captured a large cargo of African negroes illegally landed within that district, and received his share of the usual prize money allowed. Subsequently he obtained Jeave of absence for the purpose of proceeding to New York on private business. The Captain-General of Cuba represented that after the de parture of Arguelles it was discovered that he had retained and sold into slavery 140 of the negroes, and that the Supe rior Court required his presence to warrant their prompt liberation. There has never been any extradition treaty between Spain and the United States, but nevertheless the Spanish Minister at Washington asked, " in the interests of humanity, and considering the gross and scandalous o utrage committed," that Arguelles should be surrendered to the authorities of Cuba. President Lincoln holding Cm b e sa Y g in reporting the transaction to Congress) that "a no tion is t she was in never bound to furnish asylum to dangerous criminals, who are offenders against the human race," and believing this to o ben board seized ' e a Cubanu and not to be a case for the exercise cf comity towards a foreign tGaoleveenrnbmefoe rnet,aolredgearletdriColone l ut eoo Arguellesysy steamer. The arrest was effected as he the thaaniber of his Plan6 d g e e stination wife, and the affair wag ignorance of his condition pr the u ntil some days afterwards she learnt both ft orn Spanish Minister at Washington. 'The iraahingtott „bltelligeneer maintains that it has always been he ld "that the President ha s no r i g ht t o arrest any one excepi for the violation of our own laws," if there is no extradition treaty and Act of Congress enforcing it. The Few York , Vorld alleges that the key to the trans action is ha s committed that C o lonel Arguelles indiscretions at N ew Yoik, and has exposed too much the complicity o f the c a ptain-General himself in the slave traffic, inso much that the latter said, " I must have that man dead or alive." Mr. Lincoln had him delivered on board alive. TUE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND.—MAORI PRI SONERS.—Our prisoners of war, to the number of 197, are confined in the Marion hulk. Those who saw them when they were first brought in from Rangiriri would hardly recognise in these robust, plump -looking, Maories the lean, hungry, dejected looking kine who were marched down from the front a few months ago very like a coral:ten,' of beggars, and of whom wo could scarcely believe that there were among them chiefs and celebrities, such as the great landed proprietor of Waikato. The civilising influence of good living and the observance of proper their sani tary arr angements have had a wonderful effect upo men, n con dition. A large proportion of them are young w ho were probably training f or warriors, a nd most Of thou:, seem very indifferent to their misfortunes. Very few of them are maimed. Some are of such light complexions that they might be taken for half-castes. The y occupy themselves a good deal with draughts, or El Maori adapta tion of the game, and several smake when they can get- a present of tobacco. They have a religious service morning and evening, a native monitor (a prisoner) officiating. The guard consists of 50 men of Captain lirippner's company of Waikato militiamen.—&dhern Cron, 4A 5 fir co t" cli ° sV° 3 for ofi% 'lO o int TV 001 WO'
