MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK: There is still an upward tendency in the rates of discount, and an increased business is reported. The present lowest quotations in the open market are 5i 6 per cent. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon there was no material alteration. There wc s a withdrawal of £31,000 in gold from ilia Bank yesterday. The Ceylon, which left to-day with the Calcutta and China mails, conveyed £92,873 in specie. The 16th half-yearly meeting of the National Discount Company was held to-day, and the report, recommending a dividend at the rate of 16 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, was unanimously adopted. At the half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the Bank of London, today, the directors de• clared a dividend at the usual rate of 10 per cent. per annum, and a bonus of £2 10s per share, amounting together to £2O per cent. per annum, both free of income tax. The London Financial Association held its half yearly meeting to-day. The report, which was adopted, stated that after providing for the current expenses of the past half-year, writing off the whole of the costs for the new offices, and carrying for ward a rebate of interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, the directors are enabled to recommend the payment of a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. with a bonus at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, free of income tax; there will then remain a balance of undivided profits of £21,408 185 9 d to be carried forward to the next half-year. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 62f. 25e. The English Stock Market continues quiet, but quotations are steadily maintained. The fineness of the weather, so favourable to harvest prospects, assists to give buoyancy to values. Consols remain at 901 -a for money, and at 901 for the account.

The Queen and Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse walked and drove it , the grounds yesterday. Princess Louise and Princess Beatrice also walked and drove out. Mr and Mrs Morier arrived from London, and had the honour of dining with the Queen and Royal family. Her Royal Highness Princess Helena is making most favourable progress through the attack of scarlatina under which she h suffering, Their Imperial Highnesses Princes George and Serge Itomanoffaky, Dukes of Leuchtenberg, accompanied by Colonel Charles de Mix, have left Claridge's Hotel for Torquay. His Highness Prince Barietinsky has left Cla• ridge's Hotel for Hyde, Isle of Wight. The Duke end Dachees of Beaufort are expected to join the large party about to assemble on a visit to Lord and Lady Lundesborough, at Grimeton Park, York shire. The Doke of Bumlnch has left town on a visit to Lord Ravensworth, at Ravensworth Castle, Durham, during the meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society at Newcastle. The Earl and Countess of Warwick have arrived at Farrance's Hotel from Norwood. The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield entertained a select circle at dinner yesterday evening, at their town residence in Grosvenor-street. The Countess of Cottenham and the Ladies Pepys have arrived at Claridge's Hotel from StimiiughilL The Inner Circle, The line sanctioned by Lord Stanley's committee commences by a double junction with the West London Extension Railway between the Richmond road and Kensington, and passing through Earl's court, forms a connection with the Metropolitan E xtension Railway at High-street, Kensington, where there is an exchange station, and by another fork turns to the south to Gloucester-road, where another exchange station is made, and thence it continues parallel to the Metropolitan Extension Railway to Alfred-place, West Brompton, where the terminal station of the Metropolitan Extension Railway is intended to be made. By these junctions, and the exchange stations, opportunities will be given to all the railways to find their way to the West London Extension, London and North. Western, Great Wes tern, Brighton, and London and South-Western, to communicate with the inner circle, and distribute and exchange, and receive their traffic from it. The first station is in Sloane-square. The lice passes to the south of Thurloeasquare and thence across the Ful ham-road, and across a number of secondary streets to Cadogan-terrace, at which point the Metropo litan Grand Union Line down to the Victoria Sta tion is adopted, as it avoids a good deal of opposi tion from the district of Chester-square and other places. At the Victoria Station the Metropolitan District Line is adopted for a short distance, then the Grand Union proposed line, for the purpose of avoiding passing down Victoria-street, to which there was great objection made. By taking this line, and running down Tothillastreet, and widen ing it from a 30-feet street, to a 60-feet street, a very great public improvement will be accomplished. At the Westminster Hospital the District Railway is taken, and from that point, eastward it alone is adopted. It is proposed to form a station at the Victoria Station, taking a clump of houses between the Victoria Station and Shaftesbury-terrace. At Westminster a station would be formed bet ween Bridge-street and the ThaMes Embankment. It was in contemplation to have had a line under cover, to have given access to the Houses of Parliament, but that is the private property of the Queen, and the proposal has been struck out of the bill. The Crown probably knows as much about it as the Khan of Tartar;, but Mr. Gardiner, the agent, is entitled to object if he likes. From Westminster Station the line goes through the embankment to Charing-cross. It passes under one of the openings ofethe bridge, and does not interfere with the Char ing•cross railway in any way. There is to be another station at Blackfriars of a similar character to that at Charing-cross—namely, for the locality, and also an exchange station with the railway which intersects it there, which is at that place—the Lon don, Chatham, and Dover. From Blackfriars the line follows the route of the new street which is called New Earl•etreet, and along that street up to very nearly the point where that new street joins Cannon street. Then it diverges from that and runs parallel to Cannon-street, coming to the station of the Charing-cross Railway. The line pass 10ft. be low the level of their rails. So far the line is kept through an inferior class of property, At Trinity square the line will run into the station of the Me tropolitan Extension Railway, which had just passed this committee, and that will be an entire comple tion of the inner circle. All the questions affecting sewers and works under the control of the Metropo litan Board of Works have been agreed upon. There is only the question of compensation to be paid. The length of the line through is 71 miles ; that which constitutes the completion of the inner circle—the connecting link from Brompton to Tria nity-square--is 4 miles 75 chains ; the remaining lines are 2 miles 44 chains; the length actually pro posed by the bill is 7 miles 39 chains. The total area of the property required will be 27a. lr. 19p. ; the total number of buildings permanently removed will be 234, and the total number of buildings in terfered with 808. This estimate includes every thing except the Thames Embankment and the streets, distinguishing that from property ; includ ing earerything, it would be 41a. 3r. 23p. The quantity of property permanently retained in the city is loss than an acre—it is 3r. 23p. Ono prac tical effect will be that instead of terminal stations there will be, comparatively speaking, only roads side stations, and the terminal business will be done off the line.

In consequence of the opening of the new pier, wnich extends far out into the sea, and the pro posed erection of harbour and docks, the sale excited more than ordinary interest. Garraway's was crowded to excess After various questions had been asked, the bidding com menced at £5,000, and after a most spirited contest the pro perty was knocked down to the Conservative Land Society at £13,200. A portion of the property can be retained as a naval yard, and the remainder turned into building land, the want of houses being much felt at Deal. The esplanade frontage to the sea is 800 ft, and the frontage to the Dover and Walmer-road is more than 800 ft. The property abuts on Desl Castle, and commands fine views of the sea coast, and is also opposite the anchorage of the fleet when in the Downs TnE EXPRESSION OP DRESS.—Women are more like flowers than we think. In their dress and adoenment they express their nature, as the flowers do their petals and colours. Some women are like the modest daisies and violets—they never look or feel better than when dressed in a m?rning wrapper. Others are not themselves unless they can flame out in gorgeous dyes, like the tulip or bush rose. Who has not seen women just like white lilies? 'We know several double marigolds and poppies. There are women fit only for velvets, like the dahlias; others are graceful and airy, like azaleas. Now and then you see hollyhocks and sunflowers. When women are free to dress as they like, uncontrolled by others, and not limited by their circumstances, they do not fail to express their true characters, and dress becomes a form of expression very genuine Rnd ueeful,—George I►leredith's ".Ernilk in Eng land," LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT Of DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde, and a Special Jury.) ROWE V. ROWE AND KENDALL. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Dr. Wamby appeared for the petitioner, the Queen's Advocate, and Mr. Searle for the respondent, and Mr. M. Chambers, Q. 0., and Dr. Spinks for the co-respondent. In this case the petitioner, Mr. Octavius Rowe, a solici tor at Aberystwith, prayed for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, an adjutant of the Cardigan Militia,and who had formally been an officer in the English army. The defendant■ merely pleaded denial. Mr Sergeant Ballantine stated the case. Tho petitioner who claimed £l,OOO damages for the injuries he had sus tained in the loss of his wife's affections, was about 26 or 27 years old. He and tho respondent, who was the daughter of a gentleman of property, and possessed considerable per sonal attractions, had been acquainted with the petitioner for some years before their marriage, and a strong affection subsisted between them, which ended in a clandestine union in January, 1862. They lived first in the neighbourhood of London, but settled at Aberystwith, where they lived on affectionate terms until they formed the acquaintance of the co-respondent, who: was a gentleman of property :resid ing in the ne ghbourhood, and who was a married man with one child. In July, 1862, the attentions of Captain Kendall to the respondent be came so marked as :to cause some observations on the part of her relatives, and in a letter which she wrote about this time, she admitted that she had been guilty of flirtation, but denied any criminality. Sho threw herself on her she would prove a good and faithful wife. He was induced tkneeso overlook rh indiscretion, husband,scre tion and promised for the future that but ahe fell a victim to the seduc- tion of the co-respondent, with whom she eloped on the 23d of October, 1863, and with whom she had been seen in Shrewsbury, and afterwards in Paris, in November last. She wrote letters to her husband after the elopement, in which she spoke of him as a kind affectionate husband, but that she could not love him, and she requested him to write to her at an address which she gave hira in Cannon street, London. The case was proceeding when we went to press. 'ALICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGII-STREET.

CONSPIRACY TO MURDEE.—Patrick Driscoll, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting and wounding Henry Emmett. The complainant, whose right arm was in an hospital splint, and whose face was swollen and discoloured, said he gave evidence against the prisoner and others for stealing a small cask of wine from the London Docks. The prisoner and another man were committed for trial. The prisoner was acquitted and his confederate found guilty, and sens tented to a long term of imprisonment. Sinco the trial annoyances and threats had been made by the prisoner and others. He understood a conspiracy had been tormed to murder him, Yesterday afternoon as soon as lie left the London Dock a sudden attack was made upon him by the prisoner, who struck him about the head with his fist. He fell, or was thrown by the prisoner. and was trying to get up when the prisoner kicked at him fiercely, and made several kicks at his belly and a more vital part of his person. He called out for help. He could not get up. His shoulder was dislocated. Mr Paget—How was that ? Witness—My arm was doubled under me when I was thrown. Ho has been threatening my life since the trial. I gave evidence against him at this court, and also at the Sessions House. The man who was convicted said, "By G--, when 1 come out, I'll murder you." I have been given to understand my lif e was to b e sacr ific e d f or th e evidence I gave. William Henry Emmett, — the father of the last witness, said the prisoner was standing at the side door of the dock entrance when his son was coming out. He saw his eon on the ground and the prisoner kinking him. Edmund Ellis, a constable in the service of the London Dock Company, gave evidence of the facts relating to the prosecution of the men for stealing an octave of wino. The prosecutor was an accomplice, and allowed to give evidence for the Crown. Mr Nathaniel Hickford, house-surgeon of the London Hospital, said the prosecutor was brought there yesterday with a severe contusion over the right eye, and a disloca tion of tho right elbow ; Joint. Oi month would elapse before the prisoner wo u l d recover the. use of his arm. Mr Paget committed the prisoner for trial.

Murderous Assault upon a Young Lady. At a late hour on the evening of Saturday last one of the most brutal assaults which have ever oc curred in this quarter was perpetrated on the person of a young lady, at Broomieloan, or Sandyholes, a piece of common lying at the back of Cessnock Nur sery, Govan-road, two miles from Glasgow. From the information received, it appears that between 10 and 11 o'clock on the evening in question Miss Mar garet Addie, a young lady moving in most respec table society, and residing at Weymouth• terrace, Paisley-road, was returning from Govan, whither she had accompanied a friend. While passing the common, she was met by an Irishman, who accosted her ; she passed on, but the man endeavoured to intercept, and tried to catch hold of her, she mean while, putting forth her utmost efforts to escape him. Ultimately, however, the assailant succeeded in seiz ing her. She screams(' as loud as she could, and endeavoured to force herself from h;s grasp, but failed, and the ruffian, finding that she was deter mind to escape, struck her on the face and knocked her to the ground, repeating the blows whenever she screamed, and telling her to hold her tongue. Miss Addie, as may be supposed, was not able to continue the struggle with her brutal assailant, who at last succeeded in dragging her into a field of corn on the lands of Heatheryhall. Here the scoundrel at. tempted to commit a criminal assault on the person of his victim, who struggled fearfully with her in• human assailant. Shortly afterwards, while Mr. Thos. Learmouth, farmer;of Middleton, and another gentleman, a friend of his from Edinburgh, were pro ceeding along East Loan-road, they met a woman and a boy, who told them to go down the road as quickly as possible and rescue a woman who was being abused by a man. They hurried towards the place mentioned when their attention was attracted to the field by hearing groans. They rushed to the sput thus indi cated, and found a man,with his clothes disordered, lying beside a prostrate woman. Mr Learmouth immediately seized him, and held him fast, The ruffian requested to be allowed to adjust his clothes, which was permitted ; and while Mr Lear mouth was leading him down the road he attacked that gentleman, struck at and kicked him, and en deavoured to make his escape. Mr Learmonth struggled manfully with the fellow, and ultimately threw him to the ground, and held him fast till till the county police made their appearance, when he was conveyed to the police-office. He gave his name as Michael M‘Clinchey, a labourer, residing at 12, Victoria-street, Govan. On his person being examined, his clothes and linen were found to be covered with blood. Meanwhile the injured lady had been assisted to her residence by two gentle men from Ibroxholm, and was speedily attended by Dr. Smith, who was followed by Dr. Frazer, of 171, West Regent-street. The doctors found that Miss Addle had been subjected to the most cruel treatment, her person having been violated in a manner so brutal that we do not feel at liberty to enter into details. Her face was a mass of wounds and bruises, There was a cut upon the forehead, in a line with the nose, three inches in length; the bridge of her nose was fractured, and the upper lip was cut through in two places. The doctors dressed the wounds, but the unfortunate lady was so weak that they were doubtful whether or not she would survive, and recommended that her deposition should be taken. Sergeant Gunn, of the county police, accordingly lost no time in informing the authorities of the matter, and on Sunday morning Sheriff Bell and Mr. Gemmel, Procurator-Fiscal, proceeded to the residence of Miss Addie and took her deposition. We under stand that Miss Addle, although still conscious, lies in a highly precarious condition. STATE OF TRADE 11.1ArrcHtsTE72, July 19.—A fair amount of business has been done in shipping yarns, at very extreme prices. There have been buyers for most of the foreign markets, except those of India, for which the demand has been small. For China buyers have purchased some fair parcels of 16's to 21's, of 28'8 to 32's, and of 38's to 42's water twist. In home trade yarns, also, there has been a fair amount of business doing. In doubled yarns the demand has been active, and sales have been made at ld to 2d per lb advance on the prices recepted this day week. The yarn 'market closes strong, with a decided tendency to an advance of prices. In the cloth market business has been rather inactive. The high prices of materials (such as cotton and yarn) prevent manufacturers obtaining orders at anything like paying prices, while buyers are chary of giving out orders for any goods that are not in stock, or for which the deliveries can not be insured within a short space of time. where is evi dently no confidence among buyers that the present high rates for goods can be maintained. On the other hand the demand for cotton is sufficient to keep prices stringent, and between the spinner and the buyer of cloth the position of the manufacturer is far from an enviable one. LEEDS, 19th.—The woollen cloth trade continues to present the same healthy features which it has clone for a considerable period. The demand for exportation, as well as for the home trade, is active, and the mills throughout the district are running full time. The markets in the cloth-halls this morning were quite significant of the general prosperity of the trade, there being a demand fully equal to the supply of new seasonable goods, and prices being very firm for all descriptions of cloths. Wools command the highest quotations of last week. NOTTINGHAM, 19th.—The summer races being held to-day there was a very small attendance at this Exchange hall. The demand for lace yarns was flat at extreme rates. There was not much doing in hosiery yarns, and full prices wero made. Silks firm. Not much doing in brown nets ; full rates were maintained. ROCHDALE, 18th.—To-day's market has been rather fiat, and buyers fewer than usual. The consequence has been a flitter market than for somo time past. No reason can be assigned for this, except that all parties are coming to the conviction that prices will not go down during the present season, and therefore it is a matter of indifference when they provide supplies to meet the orders of their ens. towers. All goods made of long wools aro very dear, and yet Yorkshire goods sell freely, and are in much better re quest than fine flannels. llerchants have been busy all the week, and such is the steady sale in most departments that stocks aro getting low. There is an average business doing in wool, and prices remain very inn. MARKETS—This Day MARK-LANE. Fresh up to onr market to-day, the arrivals of English wheat were moderate for time of year. For most qualities there was a steady demand, at Monday's currency. With foreign wheat the market was moderately supplied. On the whole the trade ruled steady, but transactions were chiefly of a hand•to-mouth nature, at late rates. Floating cargos of grain moved off steadily at full cur, rencies. Barley, the supply of which was very moderate, ruled firm, at extreme rates. Malt was steady in price and in moderate request. Oats were in good supply, and both English and foreign descriptions supported previous rates, with a moderate de mand. Beans and peas were very fir m, and prices had an upward tendency. Flour ruled firm at late rates. ARRIVA LS THIS ',rem. Wheat Barley. Malt Oats. nom. English-- 320 3s° 3,13 Z 12" Irish.. I 1,830 160 slcs Do BOROU GH 110 P.

The supply of meat on sale is moderately good, and the traede rules heavy, as follows : Beef, from 25 10d to 4s Od ; mutton, 3s 8d to 4s 4d ; lamb, 58 Od to 55 8d; heal,va 3s 8d to 4e 6d; and pork, 38 6 d to 4s 4d per Sibs by rcs, FIRES AND PROBABLE Loss OF LlFE.—This (Wednesday) morning, between the hours of one and two o'clock, eonsiderable alarm was created in the neighbourhood of Albion-street, Rotherhithe, owing to loud cries of " Fire" proceeding from the premises belonging to Mr W. Reeves, a grocer. Several of the neighbours rushed into the building, when they found the back room on the second floor in flames and the shopmen's night-dress on fire. The necessary information was forwarded to the fire-stations, and very quickly the engines from Tooley street, Robert's land-steamer (the " Princess of Wales"), and three manual power ones, under the direction of Mr Henderson, the chief officer of the 1) district, attended, and extinguished the fire, but not before considerable damage was done to the building and furniture, and the slaopmau was so severely burnt that he was obliged to be taken to the hospital. Another fire took place on the premises of Mr li,eys, weaver, 13, King Edward-street, Mile end New town. The fire was caused by fumigating bugs. The en gines soon attended, and the films were extinguished before much damage wars done, The sufferer was net insured, sl} 36 934 & Business done LONDON GAZETTE.—Last Evening, DONVNING-STREET, JULY 16.

It was of the greatest importance, and therefore it ought to be considered when there was a fuller attendance of members. He seconded the amendment, because ho thought the present measure ought to have been introduced at the beginning rather than at the close of a session et Parliament. fit Mr NEATE expressed his disapprobation of the bill. Mr F. S. POWELL supported the bill, but thought it would be necessary to make several additions to it in its next stage. Sir G. GREY advised the hon. gentleman opposite not to press the motion for the second reading, unless he would agree to send it to a select committee. If he would agree to such an arrangement, he would give him his support. Mr COLLINS said, after the expression of opinion which had taken place, he would, if the hon. member for Colchester would withdraw his amendment, consent to the order of the day being discharged. This course was assented to, and the vote was withdrawn. DEFENCE ACT AMENDMENT. _ This bill was read a second time. CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. This bill was read a second time.

Victoria Cross. (From•the Gazette of last Evening.) WAR -OFFICE. July 16. • The Queen has been graciously pleased to sit-nify her in tention to confer the decoration of the Victaria Cross on the undermentioned officer of her Majesty's Indian forces, whose claim to the same has been submitted for her Ma jesty's approval, for his gallant conduct during the opeta tions at Umbeyla, on the North-Western frontier of India, as recorded against his nathe ; Lieutenant Henry William Pitcher, Adjutant, 4th Pun jab Infantry—For the daring and gallant manner in which, in the course of the recent operations against the frontier tribes, on the 30th October, 1863, he led a party of his regiment to recapture the Crag Picket, after its garrison had been driven in by the enemy—on which occasion 60 of them were killed in desperate hand to hand fighting. From the nature of the approach to the top of the Crag amongst the large rocks, one or two men only could advance at one time; "and while I ascended one path," relates Major Keyes, commanding the Ist Punjab Infantry, "I directed Lieutenant Fosbery, of the late 4th European Regiment, to push up another, at the head of a few men. He led this party with the greatest coolness and intrepidity, and was the first man to gain the top of the Crag, on his side of the attack, Lieu tenant Pitcher, equally cool and daring, led a party of men up to the last rock, until he was knocked down and stunned by a large stone thrown from above, within a few yards of him. Lieutenant Pitcher also displayed great gallantry in leading on a party of his regiment to endeavour to recover the Crag Picket, when it again fell into the enemy's hands, on the 13th of November, as related in the following ex tract from Major Keyes' report of the 16th of that month :—" The duty of leading the first charge devolved upon Lieut. Pitcher, and I beg to bring to the special notice of the Brigadier-General Commanding, the admir able manner in which he performed this important duty. He was by many yards the foremost of his party, and the gallant bearing of this excellent young officer was the ad miration of all spectators. It is impossible to say too much, or to overrate his services on this occasion. Lieutenant Pitcher was severely wounded, aad was obliged to be carried back." Course of the Exchange.—Yesterday.

ALFRED TENNYSON'S NEW VOLUME OF POEMS. — 'Those who have been permitted a glance at the proof sheets, according to the London Review, say that the Laureate's fame will not suffer by the appearance of this his latest effort. The piece which will, it is anticipated , be the greatest favourite in the volume, is t he "Northern Farmer," written in the dialect of Lincoln shire, the poet's own county. It is said to be worded with a care and Rem racy that would bring balm to the heart of a philologist like Prince Lucien Bonaparte, and a b o unds with peculi ar humour—a quality which Mr T enn y son has certainl y hitherto exemplified in only a voT slight degree.
