MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK: There is a moderate demand for discount accom modation at previous quotations, and the tendency of the maiket still points to the prospect of addi tional ease. There were no bullion operations 3t the Bank yesterday. Tho amount of specie to be taken out by the Massiiis, which leaves for Bombay to-day, is £127,750, of which £60,900 is in gold and £66,850 in silver. Th 3 directors of the Contract Corporation have resolved to pay a dividend for the past half year at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, and carry for- Ward 1:6,000. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap • pointed Monday next a special settling day in the following securities, which are to he marked in the official daily list :—lnternational Contract Com pany (for bargains on and after the 4th May), and in the Agra and Mssterman's Bank New Shares (paid up, and partially paid). A special settlement is also to be made •in the Bedford Hotel, but the shares are only to be marked in the twice-a -week list. During the last few days there has been a very limited amount of business in the Foreign and Co lonial Produce Markets. Sugar has remained at about former prices, but for coffee full rates have been obtained for superior qualities of colonial. In tea, rice, fruit, cocoa, and spices an average business has been reported, without material alteration in values ; hile the tallow market has continued exceedingly dull, and quotations have tended down wards for both present and forward delivery. A meeting of Shareholders of the European Bank was held to-day, when the resolution lately adopted for increasing the capital to £4,000,000 Was unanimously confirmed. Two o'CLocx. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 27c. Only a trifling improvement can be noticed in the market for the English Funds. Business con tinues inactive, and the still doubtfal state of poli tics affords no inducement to speculators. Consols for money are 901 tl, and for the account 90a 1. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 891 a ; Red Sea Telegraph, 201; India 5 per Cents., 1041 t; do. 4 per Cents., 991; Enfaced 5 per Cents., 1041; do. 5/ per Cents., 1121; and the Bonds, 10s. to 143 dis. There has been little change in the Foreign Market, and business is rather inactive. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 681 69 ; ditto Consolides, 491 50 ; Mexican " EX. all," 281 ; ditto New, 26Z d; Greek, 241 4 ; Spanish Passive, 281 i; Portuguese, 471 a ; Italian, 67,1 ; and the Con federate Loan, 70k. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been limited; prices, however, are well maintained. Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln have improved £1 55.; London and Blackwall,Xl; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 53.; and South Eastern, 65.; while North Eastern (Berwick) have declined 10e. ; and South Western, 16s. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without change of importance. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally exhibit rather less firmness.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE JACOBSON. This bankrupt was described as of Houndsditch, whole sale clothier. This was an adjourned meeting for last examination and discharge. The debts are stated at £928; assets £9. The bankrupt had been subjected to severe examination by Mr Treherne for creditors. The bankrupt admitted that he had started with £6O or £7O, and he dis charged himself by debtors, from whom he could get no returns—one having gone to the Old Bailey, another to California, and others to unknown regions. In the course of his examination he prevaricated, and on some points he was flatly contradicted by witnesses. _ _ _ Mr 4 Treherne now further questioned the bankrupt, and his Honour said that it would be quite out of the question passing the bankrupt on such accounts, and the case must be adjourned sine die, with liberty for the bank rupt to come when prepared. Mr Treherno asked that it should be at the bankrupt's expense, as there was not a farthing for the creditors. His Honour assented. The bankrupt applied for protection for two months. A creditor, in person, thought it was such a case that the Court ought not to grant protection. His Honour granted protection for one month. (Before Mr Registrar Murray.) IN RE GEORGE MIDDLETON. This bankrupt was described as of Hanover-square, Fen church-street, wine merchant, and this was a meeting for choice of assignees, a deed of assignment for the benefit of creditors having been set aside by the Lord Chancellor. The debts are stated at £1,200, the assets depending on the realisation of property, _ _ _ - - - Mr Hart (Lemon Hart and Son) and Mr Barnard, bottle merchant, Pauls-wharf, Thames-street, were chosen as signees. Mr. Commissioner Holroyd was the commissioner of the day, but did not take his seat in Court until half-past 12, delaying public business. The assistance of one commis sioner as commissioner of the day, would greatly facilitate the business, and a paid messenger, as doorkeeper, would keep the court in order. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.---This Day, OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Walter Antrobus was indicted for forging and uttering the names of certain witnesses to a deed and affidavit to be used in the Bankruptcy Court. The Solicitor• General and Mr Sleigh prosecuted, and Mr Besley defended the prisoner. It appeared that on the 23 of Jnne last two persons of the names of B_cker and Sack, who had been trading together, wished to enter into a composition with their creditors, and the prisoner, who called himself an accountant, undertook to act and pass them professionally through the Bankruptcy Court. Under the Act of 1861. certain deeds and affidavits have to be executed and attested bya commissioner appointed for that purpote. On the 2d June the prisoner attend,d at the office of aMr Cox, a commissioner under the act, having offices in Rood-lane, with Mr Sack, and asked him to wit• ness the signature of the usual deeds, which were signed by Becker and Sack, the latter only being present. Mr. Carr objected to attest the deed, only one being present, and Mr Becker's name was struck out, and Mr Carr signed the deed. The prisoner afterwards waited on Mr Keen, the Registrar in Bankruptcy, with the document, and at that time the name of Becker had been inserted, and the initials A. C. placed against the attesta tion representing that Mr Carr had attested Becker's sig nature. Tho affidavit was informal, and Mr Keen refused to receive it, and said it must be resworn. The prisoner left with the deed and of davit, and in a very few moments returned, Mr Keen told him he had not had time to go to Mr Carr's, and the prisoner replied that he had met him close by, Mt Keen still doubted the genuineness of the signature and the initials to the name of Becker, which had been inserted. lie kept the document and com municated with Mr. Carr, and it was then ascertained that the initials and the signature showing the affidavits had been resworn, were forgeries, and that the initials and sig nature was in the hand writing of the prisoner. Mr. Carr and . Mr. Keen proved the above facts. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The prisoner, who had been five weeks in prison, ras then sentenced to two months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Thomas Parker, 46, solicitor, but uncertificated, was indicted for forging a petition to be used in the Court of Bankruptcy. The prisoner had used the name of another solicitor to whom he occasionally acted as clerk. The prisoner, by the advice of his counsel, pleaded guilty. The Solicitor-General thought justice would be satisfied by the prisoner being called upon to enter into his own recognisances to come up for judgment when called upon. Henry Minchin and Montgomery Somerville were in dicted for forging and uttering a cheque for the payment of £1.5, with intent to defraud the Union Bank of London. The prisoner Somerville some time ago had been in the service of a gentleman named Wilson, and whilst so en gaged he had means of obtaining access to his employer's cheque book, The bank had paid on a former occasion a forged cheque bearing the name of Wilson, and accordingly means were taken to discover the persons who had committed the fraud. On the 29th June the prisoner Minchin entered the bank and produced a cheque for payment, signed by Mr Wilson. The signature was a forgery, and Minchin was given into custody. He said he received the document from Somerville, and when he presented it at the bank he had not the least idea it was a forgery. _ The jury found Somerville guilty, and acquitted Minchin. The Recorder sentenced him to five years' penal servitude. Henry Knox was found guilty of robbing his employer of a quantity of velvet and other goods. The Recorder sentenced him to 18 months' imprisonment and hard labour. Herbert Thompson, a respectable looking lad, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing 192 silk handkerchiefs, the property of Mr Samuel Morley, of Wood-street, t heapside, The Rccorder sei;teuced him to 18 months' imprisonment. NEW COURT. (Before Commissioner Kerr.) George Smith was indicted for unlawfully having in his possession a quantity of counterfeit coin. The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, with hard labour. NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION.—One hun• huudred and fifty employie at the West India Dock 4 have, through Mr F. J. Bradfi-31d, forwarded to the National Lifeboat Institution £5 7s 10d., in sums varying from 3d. to ifs., as a token of their sympathy fur its great and national work. CHURCH AND STATE IN ITALY.--A correspondent of] he Debats, writing from Turin on the 7tb, says : —" Yesterday evening the Chamber discussed a measure which has caused some emotion. The Minister of War proposes to suppress absolutely the exemp tion from military service established in favour of young men intended for the ecclesiastical pro fession. This rigorous measure is one of the espisodes of the war which is taking place between the Church and the State. It is impossible to regard it other wise. The war is unfortunate in itself; and can lead to no good. But its causes aro so well known and so serious that we cannot hope to see it end quickly.

Measures of reform at home ; abroad a renewal of the Anglo-French alliance on terms of the closest intimacy, with the expressed intention of seeking, in concert with France, to put an end to the frightful carnage of which America is the theatre and the victim.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT 13Y A MAN ON lIIS WIFE. — Michael Joy, a labourer, residing at 1, Wackham-place, Chelsea, was charged before Mr Selfe with the following murderous assault upon Mary Ann, his wife, whose head had a large bandage round it. The complainant (who seemed very weak from loss of blood) stated that about 2 o'clock this morning she was at home sitting on a chair when her husband came in. She had been waiting up for him. After he had !,een there a short time he knocked her off the chair. They had some words. Mr Selfe—How did he do that ? Complainant—lle struck her with his fiat, and when she was on the ground he kicked her on her forehead, and caused a wound which bled very much. Thre was a pool of blood on the floor. A policeman came in and took her husband to the station. She wont there to make the charge, when her head was dressed by the surgeon of tho division. In answer to the magistrate, complainant stated that this was not the first time she had been assaulted by her bus. band, and that she had never brought him there before. She had been married many years, and had a little boy. He was in bed at the time. Her sister-in•law (prisoner's sister) was also in the room. Policeman B 159 said ho was called to take the prisoner , who was bleeding head. The prisoner i N n ,e t r o y c m us u t c o h dy f . rom lle a f w ou o n u d nd co in nap t l h a e in f a o a re t said that she fell on a tub. He (witness) had seen the in• jury, and thought the wound was caused by a kick. Mr Selfe observed that it was a most brutal assault. He always looked on a man who assaulted a woman as a great brute, and he never passed over such conduct. He was sent to the House of Correction for two months. THAMES. PELTING A MAN WITH sus OWN BACON —Bridget Tighe, alias Carthy, a dissipated and turbulent woman, who has given much trouble to the police, was brought before ➢lr Paget charged with stealing bacon from the shop of Mr Hunt, cheesemonger in High-street, Poplar, and assaulting a boy named Thomas Lemon. _ _ The boy detected the prisoner stealing some rashers of "real Wiltshire,' and called his master's attention to the fact. The prisoner immediately struck the boy and knocked him down. She then took up all the bacon within reach and pelted Mr Hunt with it as fast as she was able. She also broke a great many eggs and created such a scene of confusion that about 100 persons assembled, and the cheese monger had much trouble in saving his property. The prisoner was given into the custody of a police constable, named Edward Chance, who stated that the pri soner stood up and fought him like a man. She was a much better pugilist than himself, and declared she would not go to the station house with him. He obtained assistance, overpowered her, and strapped her on a stretcher. She was then carried to the station house, swearing, roaring, and cursing like a mad woman. It was proved by police ser geant Watson, No. 34 K, that the prisoner had been twice convicted of felony, and once sentenced to three months' i mpr i so nment, and on the second occasion to nine months imprisonment and hard labour, The prisoner, whose cloth es were a mass of rags, said h the police, They took advantage s ot a w her a torn w s eakne t s o s p . pieces by the Mr Paget convicted the prisoner of the assault on the a month's imprisonment and hard l b a o b y o , u a r n sentenced her to .d A DISGRACE TO THE BLUE JACKET.--Michael White, a seaman, aged 47, was brought before Mr Paget on a charge of felony. The prisoner was lodging yesterday in a seamen's board ing house in Ann•street ' St. George-in-the-East. He had been kept there se reral days out of charity. He was ob served by two mariners lodging in the house to go up and down stairs several times. li e was also extremely restless. After he left the house a sailor named Andrew Brown went to his room and missed a pair of trousers and a singlet. He immediately started in pursuit of the prisoner, and met him going into a house and wearing the stolen trousers. He was given into the custody of Robert Smith, 253 li, who found the singlet in the shop o f a J ew name d Marks, who bought it of the prisoner for a s hi lling. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr Paget—Have you anythi ng t o say for yourself ? The Prisoner —It is nine years since I was in England. I have been in the American service. I was last in a Y an kee ship called the s a bi ne. Mr Paget—And have you come back to England to com mit robberies ? Th e Prisoner was hard up. Mr Paget hale, sou n d man like you could olitain if you have be en so many years at sea.

New Silver Coinage for Great Britain and Ireland. -0. (From he Mechanic's Magazine.) We have excellent authority for announcing the fact that it is intended ere many months shall have passed away, to recall the whole of the silver coins now circulating throughout the United Kingdom, end to replace them by an entirely new coinage of that metal. There can be very little doubt that the remarkable degree of success which has attended the recent reformation of the copper currency, and of which reformation this journal gave the earliest intimation to the public, has prompted the Government to take this important step. There exists as little doubt that a judicious re modelling of the silver coinage will be pro ductive 'of satisfaction and advantage to the community at least equal in amount to that which has followed the introduction of the bronze money. It must be patent to every person that the time has arrived when a new coinage of silver Would be highly acceptable, for all must have experienced more or less of inconvenience from the dilapidated and used-up state of that which now circulates. Our crowns and half-crowns, many millions of which came into existence as far back as 1816, and none of which are of more recent date than 1849, are miserably deteriorated, having lost by abrasion the greater part of their original impressions, and many of them 15 per cent. of their original weight. Our shillings are in as bad a plight, whilst the sixpenny coinage is in a much worse condition than either, and individual pieces are frequently met with which weigh only two-thirds of the standard weight at which they were issued from the Mint. Threepenny pieces are rapidly following in the wake of their richer relatives, and fourpenny pieces aro dying an unnatural death, for their issue has ceased for many years. We say nothing of the florin, because it is the youngest member of the British family of coins, and it has been subjected to less wear and tear in consequence. The loss of weight among our silver coins is a great evil no doubt, but the consequent defacement of their impressions is of yet more serious consequence, for it facilitates largely the operations of counterfeit coiners. Such manipulators find it a comparatively easy task to produce jae similes in base metal of half worn-out coins, and they avail themselves too freely of the privilege thus afforded them. Mere loss of weight is of the less importance, because at the best salver coins are simply national tokens representing certain amounts; that is to say, their nominal and their intrinsic value, when newly minted, are unequal, and abrasion and sweating only widen the ratio of inequality. A pound weight of standard silver cute—subject to slight fluctuations resulting from the action of the law of supply and demand—in the bullion market, sixty shillings ; but after conversion into coins of either of the denominations named, its value is nominally raised to G6s, thus leaving a margin or seigniorage, as the ancient term stands, for covering the cost of coining operations, of Gs ,upon each pound weight passed under the Mint presses. A shilling at its birth therefore is not intrinsi cally worth a shilling; it only represents that sum. So of all other coins in the siever series. Diminution of weight, therefore, as has been stated, is of less consequence than defacement. This fact admitted, there is no reason, as it seems to us, why the pound weight of silver should not, in the projected new coinage, be converted into seventy shillings or oven eighty shillings, and its companion moneys in like proportions. The ex pense of the entire operation of recasting and re coining the silver moneys would thus be met, with out drawing a farthing from the public treasury for the purpose; and, instead of having a miser able, and easily imitated mass of coins, grown light by wear, tear, and ill usage in circulation, we should possess a perfect token coinage.— , light, elegant, portable. and not to be counterfeited without the exercise of great skill. If light silver coins, which simply bear shadows of their former impressions, now pass from hand to hand unques tioned, surely light coins upon which the full and complete devices of the Mint dies stood out in minute elaboration, ought also to circalate freely— and so, no doubt, they would ! It may also become a question of interest for the Mint authorities as to whether a harder composi tion than standard silver might not be discovered and employed. Frequently the slightest variation in the mixture of metals—take gun and bell metals for illustration—makes a wondrous difference in their hardness. At all events, the durability of the uew silver coinage is a point only second in import• ance to that of its speedy introduction.

In reply to the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, Earl RUSSELL stated in reference to the rumour that 400 Swedish soldiers had bean massacred in cold blood by the Prussians—that there were about six or seven Swedish officers present in the Danish army. They wore the Danish uniform, and therefore were not to be distinguished from the Danes, Ho had since received information from the Prussian Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to the effect that there was not more than seventy Swedes alto gether in the Danish army. All they knew was that five Swedish officers were taken prisoners, and that there were 400 soldiers altogether attacked. The reports there fore that came with the telegram were quite untrue. In reply to further questions from the Earl of SHAFTES BURY, E Art RUSSELL said that he knew nothing of the particular case of reported cruolty to the brother of a British officer.

HIGH WAYS ACT AMENDMENT (RECOM MITTED) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On the motion that the preamble should be postponed, Mr THOMPSON said that the present state of highway management was most unsatisfactory. To prove this he mentioned that it had been found necessary to substitute another bill in 1862 for that of 1855. They were now called on to rescind the former. He thought that no practical re • suit would aiiso until that act was rescinded compulsory instead of optional. Clauses 1 to 19 inclusive were agreed to after a short dis- cussion. a On clause 20, Mr KENI)ALL moved an amendment to the effect that parishes should 1)2 compelled to refence in their neighbour hoods if necessary. Sir G. GREY said that unless they were already liable these words would not render them so. The amendment was withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to, as were clauses to 23. On clause 24, Mr. H. FENWICK moved the omission of the words "without a keeper," the object of which was to prevent cattle being turned out on the highways for pasturage. These highways were intended for the use of the public, and converting them into grazing ground was a direct per• version from their legitimate purposes. After some discussion, the committee divided— For the amendment Against it Majority. It was then moved that tho words " Such highways not being more than 30 feet wide" should be added, but it was VIP hdrawn. Sir B, LEIGHTON moved that the words of the clause should not apply to any existing rights of pasturage on the sides of roads. Lord HENLEY said that the effect of the provision pro posed by the hon. baronet would be to nullify the clause altogether, for there were no road upon which rights did not caibt. Tire amendment was agreed to without a division. The clause, with somo other amendments, was then adopted without further discuEsion. There was some further discussion on subsequent clauses and some verbal amendments were introduced. The bill was ordered to be reported, and at 10 minutes to 4 o'clock the sitting was suspended. The house resumed at 6 o'clock, and WU [LEFT SITTING.] Business don. 102} 2 1011 5 log 3 f 2} 151 291 1031 / t it SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 o'CLocx.

LATEST PARTICULARS. To-day it has been discovered that the gold chain worn by the murdered gentleman was exchanged at a jeweller's shop in the City for one of a modern pattern, viz., an oval secret link with a knot pattern twisted key attached. The man also purchased a plain gold signet ring set with a white cornelian atone. Tho man who effected the exchange was apparently abou 30 years of age, of sallow complexion, and about five feet six or seven inches in height, and apparently a German, although ho spoke English very well. The direct( re of tho North London Railway havo offered an additional £lOO reward, making in all £3OO for the cap ture of the murderer. Up to this hour the murderer is still at large.
