MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK. A firmer tone now pervades the general discount market, which is temporarily influenced by the necessary provision for the bills falling due to-mor row, the 4th of the month. Owing to the aug mented demand the public are now enabled to nebo• tiate their paper at the Bank of England on terms nearly as favourable as those required in other quarters. A further sum of £24,000 in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. The arrivals of specie announced to-day comprise £42.471 by the Asia, from New York, £150,074 by the tilagdalena, from the Brazils. The amount of specie to be taken out by the Poonah, which leaves to-morrow for the East, is £15,074. The accounts from the manufacturing districts, for the past week, have been generally satisfactory. A fair amount of business has been done in both cloths and yarns at Manchester, while increased activity has prevailed in the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield. In the hosiery and lace department of Leicester and Nottingham there has been more animation, while a more cheer ful tone has prevailed in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton.

MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. In the country markets held on Saturday, old wheats met a dull inquiry at barely late rates, but new produce was taken off somewhat readily. All descriptions of spring corn, including flour, moved off slowly, and prices had a down • ward tendency, We learn from New York that the trade for wheat and flour was heavy at reduced quotations. On the Continent the demand for produce for export is far from active. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 8,191 quarters of wheat, 3,829 barley, 39,023 oats, 1,113 beans, 3,252 peas, 750 tares, 12,633 linseed, 3,320 oilseeds, 5,040 maze, 90 sundry seeds, 151 sacks and 2,294 barrels of flour. The supply of old English wheat on sale here to-day was very moderate, and the show of new produce was confined to a few samples, some of which were received in fine condition. The trade was very quiet both for r,d and white qualities. Old wheats changed hands at last Monday's decline in the currency, and the transactions in new were at from 54s to 58s per quarter. With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. In all descriptions millers operated to limited extent, yet no quotable change took ',hoe in prices compared with Mon day last. There was a considerable number of floating cargoes of grain on offer, and the demand ruled heavy at about previ ous quotations. The supply of barley, both English and foreign, was very moderate. All descriptions, however, met a slow sale, at late rates. A parcel of new French barley was on offer, for which 335., cost, freight, and i nsuranc e, was demanded. _ _ In malt, a limited business was transacted on former terms, The market was extensively supplied with oats, and the trade was in a sluggish state, about stationary prices. Beans, the supply of which was only moderate, moved off slowly at late rates. Peas ruled inactive at last Monday's currency. A parcel of new grey peas sold at 378 per quarter. The demand both for English a nd foreign flour ruled inactive, at previous quotations.

TRADE WITH THE BALTlC.—llaring the past two months very extensive exports to the Baltic, espe cially to Cronstadt, have been made from the north-eastern ports, and still continue. The demand has been so consider able that several old Tyne colliers have been taken out of the London trade and sent to the Baltic, hence freights to Lon don have been up to between 6s. 6d and 78. per ton recently. The principal articles of export to Russia and the Baltic have been coal s , c o k e , fi re b r icks, white lead, and in several instances chemicals. wTHE as re eLEEDSv ereceived a t M v U o R r D k E R C E a s ß t .r e o A n n s e a ffi t u c r ia l da y in m t i o ra r a n t i i n o g n , announcing that the sentence of death passed upon John Gair at the recent assizes for the murder of Alice Gair, alias English, at L eeds, had been respited during her Ma jesty's pleasure.

SILENCE IN THE GALLERY !—BEFORE THE CURTAIN RISES !—The Journal de Geneve con tains the following from a Paris correspondent :—" La Vie de Cesar, par Louis Napoleon,' i s pr i nting at this moment. There can be no further doubt ab ou t i t ; and I am in posses sion of information from the Imperial printing office to the effect that a first impression, consisting of one hundred copies, has been struck off, in which the necessary altera tions are being made at this time. Workmen have been selected for this purpose who have been employed in the office for many years ; and they have been told that on the slightest indiscretion on their part they will lose their places. After the printing of each leaf in quarto every form is se cured with three chains and three locks, the keys of which M. Petitin, the director of the printing office, takes with him. As soon as the printing is completed, the sheets are taken into the emperor's cabinet; then the collaborateurs set to work correcting the press, or altering such passages as the emperor wishes to see redone. You see that measures are pretty well taken against any information reaching foreign papers --a subject of great dread with the author. The work, it is further said, will appear in a few months, and in two editions —one printed at tb e imperial printing-office, the pater at Plon." METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The show of foreign stock in our market to-day was mo derately extensive as to number but very deficient in qua lity. All breech moved off heavily, and in some instances prices were a shade lower than last week. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up were very large, The general condition of the stock, however, was by no means first .rate. For all breeds the demand ruled heavy, and in some instances the cur rencies had a drooping tendency. The top figure for the best Scots and crosses was 4s 10d per 81bs. At the close of business a clearance was not effected. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,700 short-horns, &c. ; from other parts of England 900 various breeds; from Scotland 31 Suns and crosses; and from Ireland 150 oxen and heifers. The supply of sheep was above an average, and the quality of most breeds was good. Prime Downs and half breds moved off slowly at barely stationary prices —the ex treme quotation being bs per 81bs ; all other breeds were heavy, and in some instances the currencies gave way 2d per 81bs. Lambs were in moderate supply and heavy request at Thursday's decline of 4d per Sibs. Prices ranged from 5s to 6s per 81bs. The veal trade was heavy at barely late rates.

The public sales of colonial wool have gore off with less animation since our last report. This decrease in the de mand has been caused by a falling off in the export inquiry, but home buyers have operated to a full average extent. In some instances wool, suitable to export, has changed hands at a slight reduction from the opening rates. The amount of business doing in English wool by private contract is very moderate, nevertheless prices rule firm. The import last week atnountel to 437 bales from Port Natal, 1,593 Port Philip, 325 Launceston, and 1,158 bales from New Zealand. SEEDS.

MARLBOROUGH.STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST A FOREIGNER— DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT TO FEMALES,—George Thall mann, a Swiss waiter at a private hotel, No. 4, Albemarle street, was charged as follows : Elizabeth Aulsebrook, a servant at the Royal Thames Yacht Club-house, but residing at the residence of the ser vants of the club, No. 11, Stafford-street, said :—On going to bed along with the other female servants on Friday night last I saw the prisoner on the roof of the house exactly op posite our bedroom window. At first, it being a moonlight night, we thought it was merely a shadow which had passed but on looking out of window saw that it was the prisoners in a state of nudity, walking up and down and trying to attract our attention. On Saturday night, on going to bed, we saw the prisoner there again with a lighted candle in his hand. The prisoner was undressed. He exposed him self to us in a most indecent manner and then put out the light, but lit it again, at the same time doing all he could to attract our attention. Mr. Tyrwhitt—How many persons saw the prisoner's conduct The witness—Five female servants and some other per sons in the house. Mr. Tyrwhitt-- Could he see you ? Witness—He could not help doing so, It was quite moonlight at the time. Wm. Goodcock, head waiter at the Royal Thames Yacht Club, deposed—The house 11, Stafford-street, is the resi dence of the servants of the Club, and the house looks side ways to the back of Albemarle-street and Bond-street. On Friday night the female servants complained that a naked man had ben crawling along the opposite parapet. I told them they must have had the nightmare, or that it was one of Professor Pepper's " ghosts "—(laughter) ;—but on the following night, on their again complaining, I went up and saw the prisoner, quite naked, standing on the edge of the parapet opposite the female servants' bedroom window, having at the time a lighted candle in his hand, Mr. Tyrwhitt—Could he see the females Witness—He could not then, as they had put their light out. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Which way was he looking? Witness—Towards the females' window. He then ran backwards and forwards along the parapet, and it is a won der that he did not fall and dash his brains out. His con duct was almost like that of a madman. Mr. Tyrwhitt —Could he be seen from the street Witness—No, sir; he could not. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l am afraid it is a yard at the back of the house and not a public way. Witness—lt is a yard—a kitchen with a roof consider ably lower than the others being built over it. The parapet where the prisoner stood is about on a level with the ser vants' bedroom window. Some confirmatory evidence having teen given by the female servant of the club, Mr. Albert, the interpreter, read over the evidence to the prisoner. Emil Fritsch, 115 C, said—On going into the servants' bedroom, I saw the prisoner sitting on the opposite roof. On my going to the roof where prisoner was he hid him self behind a stack of chimneys. The prisoner was naked, and had painted his face so as to make it appear that he had large black whiskers and a moustache. I found the prisoner's clothes and the candle on a wall. I then took prisoner into custody, but he said nothing in anewer to the charge. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was he quite naked? Frisch—All but a very short shirt. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner—who reserved his defence—for trial. WESTMINSTER. A ERY HARD CASE AND SEVERE PUNISHMENT. — Daniel 111‘Carthy and John Holland, two respectable look ing young men, were charged with conveying tobacco into the Milbank Penitentiary contrary to the regulations. Denis Parr, chief warder of the Milbank Penitentiary, said that the tobacco had been brought into the prison that morning. The defendants were persons accompanying a van of wood which was taken into the artisan's yard. While the defendants were there M'Carthy was seen to throw the tobacco produced (about a quarter of an ounce) to a prisoner at work in the yard, and the tobacco was im mediately taken possession of. The prisoner to whom the tobacco was thrown came from the same quarter as the de fendants—Whitechapel—and were in all probability inti. mate. Mr. Selfe—Did you say anything to the defendants ? Witness—Yes ; I spoke to M'Carthy, who admitted that he threw the tobacco to the prisoner, and said he did not see any harm in it. The defendants were both together when M'Carthy threw the tobacco. _ _ M'Carthy—l went to the prison weekly with some wood, and one of the prisoners in the yard asked me if I could give him a bit of tobacco, and I threw him a little bit about as much as would fill a pipe, and that is all, and I had no no tion that I was doing any wrong. Mr. Selfe—What have you to say, Holland ? Holland—l have nothing to say. I went with 111Tarthy, not knowing that he was going to the prison. I never was there before. I know nothing about the prison or the tobacco. Dennis Parr—l have no doubt that the prisoner is well known to the defendants. M'Carthy—l know nothing of the prisoner, I can get a six years' good character. I merely threw the poor fellow a bit of tobacco, because he asked me for it. Holland—l know nothing whatever of the prisoner, and when I accompanied M'Carthy this morning I was not even aware he was going to the prison. Mr. Selfe—l have no discretion about this matter. lam obliged to enforce the law as I find it. Any person carry ing prohibited articles into the prison is liable to a penalty of 40s. I must, therefore, convict yon, M'Carthy, in that amount. I cannot inflict a less fine. Holland is discharged. M'Carthy was removed to pay 405., or undergo a month's imprisonment. THAMES. The hearing of the night charges did not commence until 12 o'clock. The K division brought 28 prisoners to the court, and the H division 7. There are 4 prisoners under remand to be brought up after the night charges are dis. posed of, and 12 summonses for hearing. This a compara tively light Monday for the Thames Police-court, but the calendar is likely to be swelled by the additions of other prisoners from the docks and other places in the course of the day. Mary Neale, an Irish woman, was brought up before Mr. Woolrych, charged with assaulting and wounding Chris• tiana Weller. The parties were in the same house at No. 6, Charles street, Brick-lane, St. George•in-the-East. The prisoner is the landlady of the house, and having lost a saucer of little or no value, she went to Mrs. Weller's room to look for it in the absence of Mrs, Weller and her husband. On their return they quarrelled with the prisoner, who called Mr. 'Weller, a German, a foreign b---. Mrs. Wellerjoined in the quarrel, and the prisoner seized her by the hair of the head, beat her, and kicked her several times on the stomach and abdomen. Mrs. Weller was taken to the Lon don Hospital. Mr, James George King, house surgeon of the London Hospital, said Mrs. Weller was brought there on Saturday evening at eight o'clock. She was suffering a good deal of pain in the region of the stomach and also on the abdomen. He had do doubt she had been severely kicked. The prisoner, a respectable woman who carried a fine child in her arms, said the Weller family had been living in the house since Thursday, and had been very troublesome. Mrs. Weller wi.s the aggressor, and called her Irish, and she had many English wit n e s ses to prove wha t she said. The Germans in the district were very bad people. Mr. Woolry ch remanded the prisoner fo ra week. BACON'S WAR MAPS.--Messrs.

SPORTING NOTES. The Brighton meeting will commence to-morrow. The Brighton Stakes is the most important event to be decided. There are only half-a-dozen good horses in the race, viz., Umpire, The Knave, Magnum Bonum, Bandage, Black down, and Jack o' Hearts. Umpire has the top weight, but I can see nothing to interfere with his success unless it be The Knave, and if Mr. Merry makes any demonstration in his favour I cert a i n l y s h ou ld pre f er his chance to any thing in the race. For the Marine Plate, Dolphin or Cheerful will hold all the others safe. I shall refer to the remainder of the races to-morrow. A FRESH MAN. AQUATICS. DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE. The bequest of Mr. Thomas ra race amongst Doggett, of facetious memory, of a coat and badge far six young watermen just out o f their apprentice ship, to which has been added minor amounts left l y Sir William Solliffe , and annually presented Company, is a "stock pieee” by the Fishmongers ' the theatre of aquatics. The race was first insti tuted in 1715, and consequently lays claim to veneration. It has always produced first-class rowing men, and, doubtless ; from the stamina neces sarily required for victory, will continue to do so ; but it lacks now, after nearly a century and a half, a great desideratum. The competitors should wear colours, particularly as they are unknown, from their previous obscurity, to the public; and there fore the general observer who may watch the race closely would not be left to conjecture the parti cular name of the man who may be most entitled to praise. The race, as usual, took place on Saturday, that being the Ist of August, and the distance was from Swan to Swan, i.e., from London -bridge to Chelsea. Thomas Young, Princes-stairs, .Rotherhithe... 1 Frede, ick Robert Russell, Bermondsey........ 2 John Egal ton, Blackwall .................... 3 Edward William Edwards, T0wer............ 4 Henry Prince, Backside. s John Edward Mears, Deptford • The station, as usual, counted from the north ward—the side nearest Fishmongers' Hall on the Middlesex side of the river—and Prince was first, Mears second, Edwards third, Russell fourth, Young fiftb, then the favourite, Egalton sixth. The Surrey side of the river is alwass accounted the best. The Bankside man was first at the start, and was very smart, followed by the Deptford man, Bermondsey next, then the winner, Edwards of the Tower, rowing last but one, and Egalton of Black well last of all. There were a great many changes after this ; first of all, Prince was deprived of his lead, then it fell to Egalton and Russell in turn, and finally Young, rowing his men down, ob- ;wined the foremost position at Blackfriars. Pass. ing under this bridge Egalton, Russell, and Young were all together, and it was hard to tell who led, but at length the Rotherhithe man showed clearly in front ; Edwards, the Tower man, and Russell of Bermondsey, disputing the second place. While they were doing this the Blackwall man came up (having fallen astern again), and very severe was the race till they had nearly reached Hungerford bridge, where Young led by a length, followed by Russell, Egalton next. From here to Lambeth they remained very close, although there were no changes, and, although they had rowed half the distance by this time, a sheet might have covered them, as the saying is ; but through Vauxhall-bridge a very per ceptible change occurred. Young led here by three lengths, Russell heading Egalton by about the same. Edwards, of the Tower, was next, then the Bankside man, Mears last; and although there was some good racing after this, their position never altered, and Young, increasing his lead, won by nearly 100 yards, Russell half that distance ahead of Egalton; the Tower man was fourth, and the other two some distance astern of him. The wager men, although they started after high water, saved the tide all the way up, and consequently the win ning time was very good, being a little over 37 minutes. LEANDER AND WESTMINSTER BOAT RACE. The time-honoured. Leander Club, composed of University; and other gentlemen, have for many years raced with the Westminster scholars in eight oared cutters, and this pleasurable annual of 1863 was presented on Saturday.

The course was from Putney-bridge to Chiswick Eyot, and a steamer accompanied, on board which were many ladies. Mr. Wright was umpire. The race was started on the top of the tide, The West minster had the Middlesex station. The Leander went away with the lead, but the Westminster ap plied themselves hard to their work, and there was only about half a length between them at the Duke's Head. Immediately after this the lead was increased at a moment to a length, and stroke after stroke was taken up to the cricket ground without any varia tion, and so smart was the work in the Westminster boat that it was thought they would soon take a leaf. They, however, kept too! much on the Mid dlesex side, and then at the point had to come out, and fell right into the wake of their opponents, with a gap of about a length and a half between them. The rowing of the scholars was hardly in such form as we have seen ; and when it is considered that there was not one in the boat above 18 years of age, it will be at once conceded they must have been ' very game and very good to have held so excellent a race with their senior and heavier opponents. Had they been a little better they might probably, by their excellent steerage after passing Craven, have changed the fortune of the day, for they shot the water by coming under the stern of their opponents at a better and earlier time than the Leander, and rowed so exceedingly well with the advantage so acquired, that, when they arrived at the Soapworks bridge, there was scarcely a length between the To boats. The steering of the Leander here was a t ? bad, and at Hammersmith -bridge there W.lOl only a length between them, but after that " der got to two or three lengths in favour of the Least. at about which it fi nished.

MAIL STEAMERS DUE FROM AMERICA THIS WE EK.—The following steamers are due at Liver pool this week with the mails from America, viz., Jura, Edinburgh, and Persia. The Jura was to have left Quebec on the 25th ult., and may therefore be expected at London derry to-morrow morning (Tuesday) ; the Edinburgh, with dates from New York to the 25th, may be looked for at Queenstown on Wednesday; and the steamer Persia, from New York on the 29th ult., will no doubt turn up at Queenstown in the coarse of Friday next. As it is not im probable the J ars" or Edinburgh may call off Cape Race, we will, should they do so, no doubt have dates from New York to the 28th ult. ARCADES AINIBO I. Looking into Basinghall- street and seeing the solicitor or counsel for the opposing creditor bullying a notorious bankrupt, a writer in the lon don Review suggests that the solicitor is the well-known Mr. Snap, a gentleman with the eyes of a pike, and the mouth of a pugilist ; and that the member of the upper branch of the profession is the unknown Mr. Slang, who looks uncommonly like a potboy who has borrowed his wig and gown from the Judge and Jury Club. SECOND EDITIO . SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 o'CLocK. THE PRINCIPALITIES. Advices just received from Bucharest give a rather alarming account of the internal affairs of the United Principalities. Prince Couza, harassed by the parties which are struggling around him, in clines to nothing less than proclaiming himself Dictator. This state of things is all the more disquieting to the Porte, that it cannot, under present circumstances, hope for any effective inter vention of the Powers at Bucharest. The Powers for the present regard the affairs of the Danubian Principalities as or only secondary importance. THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.---This Day.

All reform must grow ; it cannot safely be made. To lecture a man upon the nastiness of chewirg tobacco, while taking a pinch of snuff, seems to him unreasonable and impertinent. We in the Free States must treat the blank as a man before we have any right to ask the Slave States not to treat him as a chattel. It is this inconsistency which makes the South look upon our anti•slavery feeling as the simple arrogance of the pharisee, and indisposes it to give that respectful attention to our opinion which it would otherwise receive. The Southerner points to that unerring index of con tent and wellbeing, increase of population, as a proof beyond declamation or assertion that the black face is more happy in its state of slavery than in its condition of freedom. It points to the record of crime in the Free States, which shows the white race with a far larger average of criminality than the black race, and asks us if that condition is to be preferred which brings such results. It points to the legislature of States which exclude the free blacks from their soil, and asks why it should be subjected to that curse which other States so sedulously guard themselves from. What honest answer is there to such questions ? The idea of the Tribune is to make all the blacks of the United States American citizens, but is the notion practicable ? Before entering upon so vast an ex periment would it not be advisable to make the experiment upon a small scale ? Can it get the State of New York to look upon the black as a man equally entitled and equally capable as the white to exercise the right of self-government ? We very much doubt it. It will not do to say that the negro is considered inferior in New York because his race is slave in the South. No white race would have remained slave at the South. That this is true can be seen from our treatment of the Indian. That race is a noble race, a far superior animal to the negro, and yet the common sense of this country sets them apart. Since the whites landed they have murdered and cheated the Indian eternally, and will do so until not a red skin remains. As the Indian cannot be white, he dies. He will not serve. Yon can as easily yoke a lion. But the basis of the negro's mental characteristics is self •enjoyment, and con sequently he serves and finds not much aspiration beyond comfort. He does not long for liberty, except as synonymous with exception from stated toil. That the negro is capable of improvement, that in the course of time, by contact with the white, his physical nature and conse que n t l y his moral nature will be changed, is inevitable. When that change is effected his social condition and po litical status will be changed also. This, however, is the work of geverations, and will be the result of natural laws as slow but as certain as those which govern the formation of coral islands in the sea. From not p erceivin g this great truth, from too eager aspirations that the good whicera tions are needed to effect be completed in h th g ei en r day, men are abolitionists, and have inoculated the people of the North with their unreason. There is slavery at the South, not because men there differ from men here, but because the South has an im mense black population, which it fears to keep i n It has seceded .co b m ec p a e u l se th i e t any other condition. the ques believed that the North attempted, through th e vindi ta agency idoosp. tio Inonbf by the thhceeormswmoouortndhs , g o if o t ebtsrenivimie. views believes that upon p o o it s principle ofself-government.

PONTEFRACT ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir, —Having seen Sir C. Head's speech at Pontefract in favour of free trade, &c., I am at a loss to know what he means, as he advocates the renewal of the monopoly of the Hudson's Bay Company and its presumed sovereignty over three-fourths of British America against the public interests. He is also the nominal chairman of the com pany, alio nomine. Sir Edmond Wishes to support British shipping, if in earnest he can do so by exacting reciprocity from the United States. TRAVELLER. THE CHANNEL FLEET.—The Channel fleet, under the command of Admiral nacres, which arrived in the Frith of Forth on Wednesday, has attracted immense numbers of visitors from Edinburgh and Leith. In addi tion to employing all the available steamers in the Forth, vessels have been attracted from the Tyno and from the east of Scotland to engage in this profitable traffic. On Friday, the Lord Provost, magistrates, and Council of Edinburgh, and the Provost, magistrates, and Council of Leith, with the Foreign Consuls at the port, visited the flagship Edgar and the iron-clad Black Prince. The Chief Magistrates and Corporations of both towns have invited the Admiral and officers to dinner before they leave, and there is to be a grand ball at Leith on Monday night. An attempt was made by the Free Church Presbytery to get the vessels closed against visitor s on Sunday, but it has not been successful. Hundreds of seamen are daily ashore in Edinburgh and Leith, indulging in all aorta of frolics, but Ono keeping admirably within the bounds of good order. One on of them climbed to the pinnacle of the Sco tt Monument, Friday, on which he stood erect and c heered.
