IN ONtYMARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE o'CLocx. A quieter demand is reported in the Money market, and the rates exhibit a downward ten dency. About X5OOOO in gold was taken into the Bank On Saturday. From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week have generally been more satis factory. There Las been increased demand for both cloths and yarns at Manchester, owing to the late advices from the East. In the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield there has been a rather active inquiry for both autumn and winter goods, and a more cheerful tone has prevailed in the hosiery and lace departments at Leicester and Nottingham. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wol- Yerhampton there has also been a decided improve ment in most departments. The first annual meeting of the Bank of Hin dustan was held to-day. The report stated that the directors intend to hold a meeting on the 31st of Dec., at which a complete statement of the business of the bank would be laid before the proprietors in anticipation of the nest annual meeting. The accounts received from India still show a marked improvement has taken place in the general business of the bank. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were firm at 68f. 70c., 68f, 65. Firm. At the half-yearly meeting today of the Union Bank of Australia, Mr. Henry Buckle in the chair, the report el the directors, which was unanimously agreed to, stated that the operations of the bank at all its branches during the year were of a highly satisfactory character. The business of the establish ment had required the gradual transfer to the colonies of a considerable portion of the funds which had previously accumulated in London. This necessity arose chiefly from the extension of busi ness in Queensland and New Zealand, and in some degree also from the removal of deposits which the directors had not sought to retain by allowing high rates of interest, a policy they have uniformly opposed. The state ment of accounts showed a balance of net profit of £88,871 Bs. 11d. The directors, there fore, recommend to apply the sum of £BO,OOO as a dividend of 8 per cent. for the half-year, payable in London, free of income tax, on the 14th instant, and in the colonies with the addition of income tax, as soon as' the inspector shall fix after receipt of advices. The chairman congratulated the proprietary on the satisfactory progress the bank had made during the past year, a progress evidenced in a profit of £20,000 more this than in the preceding twelvemonths. The bank had been established 25 sears, during which period its career had been one of uninterrupted success. There is scarcely any change to notice in the market for the English Funds, but rather less firmness is apparent. Consols, however, are 924 for money and the 9th intl., and 92/ for August.

'LIPTON SIISPENSION BRIDGE.—The wire ropes which connect the two piers of this bridge having been finally adjusted, the construction of the temporary platform across the chasm was commenced on Tuesday last, and so perfect were the machinery and appliances employed by Messrs. Cochrane and Co , of Dudley, the contractors, that the work was fi nished early on Saturday morning without accident of any kind. L ess than f our wor ki ng days were occupied in this operation, the proceedings hay- ' ing had to be stopped during the greater portion of one day on ace , unt of the high wind. About 5,000 superficial feet of inch boarding have been c onsumed in the erection of this platform, some portion of which is at an altitude ex. ceding 300 f, et. The only objection to its being at once used as a temporary road by the public, f rom the Glouces tershire to the Somersetshire side of the Avon, and vice versa, is the peat incline in going down and up t o eac h pier. All i s now rea dy for flung the chains of th e perma nent bridge, the works for which will be commenced forth with, and the appliances are so complete that notwithstand ing the stup e nd ous c h ara cter of the operation, it will b e effected with comp a r a tiv e ease. Many applications have been made for permission to cross the tempormy platform, hut they have been refused by Mr. Airy, the resident evening. Yesterday Clifton Downs and the banks of the Avon were thronged with thousands of spectators, who viewed with wonder the almost magical progress which has been made with this gigantic undertaking in the last few clays.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mills pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.221 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of /3 17s. Wad. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2-10ths per cent. dealer in London than in Paris. By advices Crum Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.5 k per £1 sterling. - tnndard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, rather more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Ham burg The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight Is 155} to 156} per cent., and the premium on gold is about 42f per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. Madlle. Parepa is about to visit Germany, to play there in German opera. Madame do 1a Grange is to sing at the Italian Opera in Paris during the winter; Madame Lalon, at Milan.

THE BOMBAY MAD:: The aboTe mail brings dates from Boinbay to the 9th June. The Bombay Gazette says—" The past fortnight has not been an eventful period in India, and we are not called to record any events of general in terest. The south-west monsoon may be considered to have fairly set in. The whole of the west coast, from Comorin to Bombay, has been visited with rain, and there is every appearance of a heavy fall soon in Bombay." The same journal contains the following sum mary of news " His Excellency the Governor of Bombay is still at the Mahableshwar hills, but will be in Poona shortly, as the monsoon has set in. " The ship Patterson, ramble, commander, 985 tons register, bound to London, sailed from Bom bay on the 4th June with a cargo of cotton, coffee, and seeds, and having sprung a leak when about 20 miles out, rapidly filled and went partially down. All lives saved, and the ship and cargo are expected to be recovered. " The out-turn of the Bengal opium districts for the present season, to be brought forward for sale in 1864, will be about 27,000 chests Patna, and 200,000 Benares. This is the largest crop gathered since 1835. Prices cannot, fall so low as 1250 rs. a chest, which the average fixed by Sir C. Trevelyan in his budget for 1863.64. " Sir Robert Montgomery's interview with the Maharajah of Cashmere is said to have led to im portant results, which will tend to the commercial prosperity of the Punjaub and Cashmere. " Lieut. Haig, adjutant of her Majesty's 90th Regiment, was attacked by a band of decoits in the territory of his Highness the Maharajah of Scindia, 28 miles north of Indore, and severely wounded. He was unarmed, but fought manfully, and would probably have been murdered but for the timely arrival of some chokedars. " The King of Burmah is reported to have been murdered. The report is not confirmed. " The report of tho Knrrachee Chamber of Com merce for the year 1862-63 states that the total value of the trade of that port for the year was £5,500,000 sterling, against about £3,000,000 the previous year—an increase of 861 per cent ; up wards of £1,300,000 of this increase is due to the export of cotton, of which staple not a single bale was exported two years ago. " By news from Cabool to 13th May it appears that Dost Mahomed had sent a messenger to Shah Natvaz Khan, the present ruler of Heerat, asking him if he would ratify the terms agreed upon by the late Sultan Ahmed Jan. The reply was that he had written to the King of Persia on his father's death, and on the receipt of an answer from the Shah would communicate his intentions with regard to the treaty to the Ameer. The Prince of Meshed was on his way to Heerat, having left his troops at Marian, to condole with Shah Nawaz Khan on the occasion of his father's death. " Major W. L. Merewether, C. 8., of the Bombay Staff Corps, has been appointed political resident at Aden. " Lieut. Jackson, who was tried by court-martial at Mooltan for flogging his servant to death at Dera Ismail Khan, has been sentenced to penal servitude for four years, and his name has been struck off the rolls of the Royal Engineers from the 21st of April last. " Orders have been issued by the Governor Gene ral that all former prohibitions as to enlistment in the Punjab are to be cancelled. No enlistments taking place under the commander in chief's orders are to be interfered with by civil authorities. "In the month of August next extensive and numerous changes will take place in almost all the branches of the administration, intended to assimi late it as much as possible to the state machinery as worked in England. The work of abolishing, reconstructing, and economising will be carried on under the guiding hand of Sir C. Trevelyan by officials well trained and versed in English financial work." MARK LANE. Owing to the fineness of the weather the demand for English wheat in the country markets, held on Saturday, was in a most inactive state, and, in some instances, prices further declined to the extent of is per quarter. No material change took place in the value of spring corn, but the trade for all descriptions was very quiet. Flour moved slowly, at late rates. We learn from New York that the flour trade continued dull, but there was an improved export inquiry for wheat and maize. On the continent the corn trade generally is flat. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 21,967 quarters of wheat, 5,061 barley, 24,612 oats, 4,821 beans, 1,339 peas, 4,260 tears, 2,774 linseed, 8,990 oilseed, 960 maiz9, 4,630 sundry seeds, 1,299 sacks and 33,648 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of Eng- lish wheat were very small, but most samples came to hand in good dry condition. The attendance of buyers was very moderate, but owing to the favourable accounts from all parts of England respecting the crops, both red and white produce met a very inactive sale, and at the close of business a clearance was not effected. Compared with Monday last, no quotable change took place in prices; but the tendency was certainly in favour of buyers. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat: All descriptions moved off heavily, and where sales were pressed is per quarter less money was accepted by holders. Floating cargoes of wheat and other grain were in slow request, at barely stationary prices. With English barley the market was scantily supplied ; but there was a better show of foreign produce on the stands. The accounts respecting the crops being of a most satisfactory character, the trade was dull, at drooping cur rencies. Malt changed hands slowly, yet no quotable change took place in prices compared with Monday last. There was a moderately good supply of oats on offer. Good and fine parcels were in fair request at late rates; otherwise the trade was dull, on former terms. Beans sold heavily, and in some instances prices de clined ls. per quarter. The market was fairly supplied for this time of the year. Foreign peas were in good supply, but the show of Eng lish qualities was small. All descriptions met a slow sale ; nevertheless, the quotations were without material change from Monday last. Both English and foreign flour sold slowly at barely late rates, CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE, Wheat—Essex and Kent, red, new Ditto, old 4Bs 54s Ditto, white, new 43s 53s Ditto, old 605 57s Norfolk and Lincoln, red, old —s s Ditto, new Talavera, Rye— 34s 35s Barley—Grinding 258 288 Malting OOB 00s Malt—Suffolk and Norfolk 6OB 68s Brown Kingstown and Ware 6os 68s Chevalier 668 68s Oats —Yorkshire and Lincolnsh., Feeding l9s 23s Potato _ 238 27s - ........_ Youghal and Cork, black l6s ..... 22s Cork, white 17s 23s Scotch, Feeding 20s 24s Beans—Tick Pigeons, Peas—Grey, new Maple White, new 36s 38s Boilers 36s 38s Flour—Town -made ....

The show of foreign beasts—the arrivals from Spain and Portugal having been large —was extensive, of sheep and calves moderate. Sales progressed slowly at barely late rates. From our grazing districts, as well as from Ireland and Scotland, the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were seasonably extensive, and in fair average condition. Most breeds moved off slowly at a decline in the quotations, com pared with Monday last of 2d per 81bs, The highest figure for the best Scots and crosses was 58 per Sibs. The receipts from N. , rfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire, comprised 700 Scots, &c.; from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, 1,800 short-horns, &c.; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds, from Scotland, 100 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland; 180 oxen and heifers. There was a full average number of sheep in the pens in good condition. Prime downs and half• breds commanded a steady sale at full currencies—the top figure being 5s 2d per 81bs, otherwise the mutton trade was in a sluggish state at barely stationary prices. Lambs were in moderate supply and fair request at Thursday's quotations—viz., from 5s 4d to 6s 4d per Sibs. There were 500 Irish lambs on offer. Calves were very dull at barely late rates. The top figure was 4s Ed per 81bs. The pork trade was in a sluggish state at last week's prices.

MARLBOROUGH-STREE r. APPREHENSION OF THE LATE CLERK TO THE EVERTON BOARD OF GUARDIANS ON THE CHARGE OF EMBEZZLE MENT TO THE EXTENT OF £1,000. James Smith, alias Charles Steward, late clerk to the Everton Board of Guar dians, was brought up by Sergeant James Thomson, of the detective police, Scotland-yard, on a warrant, signed by one of the Liverpool magistrates, charging him with embezzling the sum of £56165. belonging to the township of Everton, Sergeant Thomson stated that about 10 days ago the war rant for the apprehension of the prisoner was placed in the hands of the detective police by a Liverpool officer sent to town for the purpose, and from inquiries he (Sergeant Thomson) made he ascertained that the prisoner was a betting man, and well known at a sporting house in Soho. By means of stratagem he succeeded in learning that the prisoner was living at 32, Prescot-street, Whitechapel. He went there on Saturday last, and upon being told that the prisoner was out he waited his arrival. In the evening he again went to the house, knocked at the door, and asked for the prisoner. The landlady assured him that the pri soner had not come home, but he (Sergeant Thomson) being unwilling to be thus put off, determined to search the house, and upon doing so found the prisoner secreted under a bed in the back attic. Mr. Tyrwhitt then remanded the prisoner to Liverpool. Sergeant Thomson then handcuffed his prisoner, prepa ratory to sending him to Liverpool. The prisoner, whose defalcations amount to upwards of £l,OOO, appears to be a determined and powerful fellow, and was on the point of leaving for the Continent the day he was captured. THAMES. THE SAILOR AND HIS GOLD.—Catherine Layton, a woman of the town, of 17, Baker•street, Stepney, was brought up on remand before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing £7 in gold from the person of John Grey, a sea man dwelling in Rotherhithe-street. The prisoner, who is a most notorious thief, and is the landlady of a house of ill-fame in Baker-street, met the sailor on the Thursday before the 20th of June last, and after he had treated her with grog and a supper, he accom • pinied her to house in Phillip-street, St. George's-in. the- East. Ho had not been with her many minutes before she suddenly left him and ran down stairs. The sailor followed her, and she called out to him, " I have not touched your money, your gold and vest are under the bed." He had taken off his vest, from which he took a sovereign when he first entered the house and gave the woman the piece of gold. In doing so he ex hibited the remainder of his money. When the prisoner told him his belt and gold were in the rcom he had just left ho foolishly returned to the house. He found his belt, but the gold was gone. He met the prisoner three days afterwards (June 20) and gave her into custody. The daughter of the prisoner, who is likely to be as infamous as her mother, offered to swear that her mother was at home at the brothel in Baker-street at the time the sailor declared that she was in his company, but Mr. Woolrych would not allow her to commit perjury in her mother's behalf, and he remanded her from time to time to give the police an opportunity of finding the sailor's money. Mr. Partridge asked if there was now any chance of re covering the sailor's gold; and on being answered in the negative, discharged the prisoner. THE DIVORCED WlFE.—Anna Shrnbsole alias Mudd wa brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with committing a breach of the peace, and assaulting and threatening a young woman named Sarah Malina Sergeant, NO. 1, Hannibal road, Stepney. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, said the prisoner was the divorced wife of John Shrubsole, late proprietor and driver, of No. 1, Hannibal-road, and the complainant was his housekeeper. The Defendant (spitefully)—Housekeeper indeed—his mistress. Mr. Young said Shrubsole and his wife had been parted three years, and a decree ,izsi for a divorce on the ground of adultery, on the part of the defendant, was signed three weeks ago, and she must now adopt her maiden name of Mudd. The Defendant—Shrubsole is my name. Mr. Young—l deny it is your name, you have forfited the name of Shrubsole. The Defendant—lt is only my dear children I want. Mr. Young—You are not entitled to them. The Defendant—l brought them into the world. Blr. Young said that the defendant had been iu the prac tice of ann o yi ng th e complainant, and ha d b een committed for an assault for one month. All ho required was that Anna Mudd-- The Defendant—Shrubsole, if you please. Mr. Young—That Anna Mudd be required to find one surety to keep the peac3. The complainant said she was engaged in some domestic duties in the yard of Mr. Shrubsole's house, when the de fendant suddenly made her appearance, seized her by the dress, pulled the gathers out, and abused her very much. She said she would lay wait for her, and Mr. Shrubsole's wo sons would do the same. The defendant said her sons had been turned out of doors by their father, and she would protect them. She knew nothing about the proceedings in the Divorce Court until the decree was served on her. If she was bad her husband was bad, for he once kept a black man's wife. She only went to her husband's house to see her children, and was told to leave the place. Mr. Partridge—You must not go to your husband's house. You have no longer any claim upon him. I call upon you to enter into recognisances to keep the peace— yourself in £2O. You are to keep the peace towards all her Majesty's subjects for 12 months. Mr. Young —I hope you will make_ her find a surety to keep the peace —one surety at least. Mr. Partridge —Not at present. Some allowance ought to be made for the woman's situation. Mr. Young—l hope she will throw no more stones through Mr. Shrubsole's windows in the night time. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

UNT2ROYOKED CHARGE ON ASSAULT ON A George Dillon, Edward Dillon, and Comelius O'Bonohue were charged beforo Mr. Selfo with the following unpro voked aseault G. Burt, a lad in the employment of a greengrocer, said that between 11 and 12 o'clock on Saturday night he was in the King's-road. When he was going along the pavement he saw several persons in conversation. He was about going past them, upon which he was forced off the pavement into the road among a quantity of mud, lie was assistEd up by a gentleman, upon which he was struck by Edward Dillon. He was much hurt and was covered with mud. Some constables came up and took the prisoners into custody. Two gentlemen, clerks in the War-office, stated that they were in the King's •road about the time in question, when they heard an angry altercation between some persons. They were endeavouring to pass the prisoners, wishing to cause as little interruption as possible, when they were knocked down by the prisoner Dillon, who also kicked them violently when on the ground. Mr. Suite asked what charge there was against the pri , soner O'llonohue The inspector said there was another witness who would give some evidence against him (0'llonohue), but he was not present. Mr. Selfe said that as there was no evidence against him he must be discharged. Ile could not pass over the con duct of the other prisoners, as he must endeavour to put a stop to the barbarous practice of kicking. He must fine them 20 8 each. He should inflict a fine of 10s each for the as sault on the boy, unless they would give him (the boy) borne compensation. The prisoners gave the boy 10s, and paid the cther fines, when they were discharged. AMERICAN MAILS.—The Royal Mail steamship Persia, Capt. Lott, sailed from Liverpool on Saturday for New York, with the usual mailf. Besides the mail she took out a fair amount of cargo, and had 130 passengers. EXQUISITE IMPERTINENCE. — When the Prince Regent gave Brummell some offence, the Beau said, have my revenge, I'll bring the old king into fashion.' WAS NERO A MONSTER ? Tho poisoning of Britannicus is doubly interesting. It is one of the most notorious of murders ; and has, I believe , never until this day found any one to question it since Ta citus and Suetonius first circumstantially related the details. Yet a verdict more flagrantly in defiance of common sense and science has seldom been given. Nero, we are told, hated Britannicus because of his sweet voice, and feared him as a possible pretender to the throne. Here are the motives ima gined ; let us now see them in operation. The tyrant, we are told, unable to bring any accusation against him (which in those days of conspiracy was surely strange) secretly resolved to murder him; and this secret resolve be comes known to the narrators, but how they gained the knowledge is not mentioned. It was confided to Julius Pollio, tribune of a prwtorian cohort, who at that moment held in prison, under sentence of death, Locusts, notorious for her crimes—mu/ea seelerton fame. She was ordered to prepare a poison—this position was ad ministered to Britannicus—but it was too slow in its opera. tion—and Nero, sending for her, beat her, and vowed that she had supplied an antidote, Whereupon she prepared before his own eyes, and in his own room, a deadly poison, the strength of which was essayed on a pig, whose instant death satisfied Nero that now he had got what he desired. The banquet was prepared. Britannicus was seated at a separate table magnificently served, in presence of his re latives and several young nobles. A slave stood at his side to taste of every dish and every beverage, as a pre caution against poison ; and this slave it was necessary to spare, otherwise his death, occurring at the same time, would betray the murder. To avoid this betrayal, the follow ing expedient was imagined. A beverage was presented to Britannicus, after having been tasted, too hot to be drunk ; to cool it, a little cold water was poured in, and this cold water contained the poison. No sooner had the prince tasted it than he fell lifeless. The guests were alarmed ; some rose to fly; but those who clearly understood it all sat still, their eyes fixed on Nero, who quietly assured them that it was only an attack of the epileptic fits to which Britannicus was sulject, and that it would soon be over. " After a while the gaiety of the banquet was resumed ; post breve silentiuntrepaita contivil Britannicus was hastily buried the next day. According to Dion Cassius the face of the corpse had become quite black from the poison; to conceal this Nero whitened it with chalk, but the falling rain washed away the chalk and disclosed the crime which had been thus clumsily concealed. As for Locusta she wasnot only rewarded with a free pardon and a grant of land, but " Nero placed some disciples with her to be instructed in her art I" This is the story. The first remark which Science suggests is that the sudden death of Britannicus may very probably have been due to epilepsy, but cannot have been due to poison, since there was no poison known to the ancients capable of such instantaneous effects. In our own days the only poisons known to take effect in a few seconds are prussic acid, oxalic acid, strychnine, woorara, and the venom of certain snakes ; and these were not known in Rome. Aconite, which on good grounds is believed to have been a common poison employed in Rome, requires from one to three hours to produce fatal effects; and the majority o mineral poisons require several hours. Secondly, Scienc knows of no poison which instantaneously blackens the face of the victim. There are certain mineral poisons which, taken slowly, will slowly discolour the skin, but not one which, acting rapidly on the organism, rapidly betrays its presence by such discoloration. Having dismissed Science, we now request Common Sense to step into the witness-box, and she plainly tells us that, as Nero, Locusts, and Pollio were toe deeply interested in these transactions to have volunteered a confession of their acts, and as no such con fession was publicly extorted from them, there is some diffi culty in ascertaining from whom such circumstantial narra tives were obtained, and what guarantee they offer for the truth of their narratives. Moreover, supposing it to be a fact that Locusts was pardoned, and had a grant of land—a fact which requires proof — the fiction which connects her withd Nero's criminal pntposes is betrayed in the mythicala di. her tion of the disciples placed with her to be instructedn no att.

The proceedings of the Confederate cruisers Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, which recently visited the Brazilian ports of Fernando, Noronha, Pernambuco, and Bahia, have given rise to questions from 'which serious complications may not improbably result. On the 19th ult. the American Consul complained that sailors belonging to Federal vessels burnt by the Alabama and Florida, put ashore at Bahia, and placed in charge of the Brazilian authorities, under the protection of the American Consul, had been subsequently taken on board the Confederates pri vateers, and now formed portion of their crews. Immediately upon receipt of this communication the President of the province of Bahia addressed letters to the commanders of the Confederate pri vateers, stating "this fact" was a flagrant breach of the neutrality imposed upon itself by the Go vernment of Brazil, that he protested warmly against such violation, and requested that the indi viduals in question might be given up. The Confederate officers denied that any such occurrence had taken place, and their vessels were permitted to leave the port. Previously to this incident upon the 14th ult., the English ship Castor, loaded with coal, said to be bound for Shanghai, entered the port of Bahia ostensibly to repair damages. Upon the 15th the American Consul informed the President of Bahia that the Castor bad on board several pieces of artillery and some 20 sailors in tended for the Alabama or the Georgia. The President next day forwarded this complaint to the English Consul at Bahia, inviting him to accompany the Custom-house officers on board the Castor, to see whether the complaint had any foun dation. Meantime the Castor had commenced dis charging a portion of her coal into the Confederate cruisers. Upon the 18th the English Consul returned the following reply : " The denunciation of the American Consul is devoid of foundation. The facts be has put forward are quite inexact; the opinion he expresses is en tirely illusive. The English Consul has been on board the Castor, has ascertained that she does not carry arms, that her crew consists only of the men upon theohip's books, and that the only real fact of those alleged is her delivery of coal, a proceed ing which it is the sole aim of the American Consul to prevent. The Consul is ready to be present at the visit proposed by the President. The captain of the Castor is perfectly willing to permit such visit, but the Consul in any case protests against every act assuming the character of the right of search or of requisition by the Consul of the United States. He (the English Consul) enter tains grave doubts of the American Consul's right, owing to the mere supply of coal, to raise any claim against an English ship belonging to a neu tral nation at anchor in the harbour of Bahia, a neutral port. The neutrality resulting from the independent exercise of its right by a State cannot obstruct commercial relations, and a belligerent Power is not entitled to demand their cessation, in a neutral port, between its opponent and the sub jects of a neutral nation, Toleration by the !resi dent of the province of the supply of coal by an English ship to the Confederate cruisers in this port cannot (without infringing common sense and international law) be considered a hostile act, con trary to the strict neutrality of Brazil." The proposed visit on board the Castor took place, accompanied by interrogation of the captain and crew. The result showed no proof whatever of the allegations, although it seemed pretty clear that the cargo of coal had no other original destination than the Confederate privateers. The captain of the Alabama, indeed, admitted the fact, plainly declaring that he had a perfect right to purchase coal in England, and to provide for its discharge taking place out of a neutral ship within a neutral port. Captain Semmes at the same time requested the President's authorisation to continue taking in his coal. The President replied that the coal must be put on shore and sent into the market, where Captain Semmes could buy as much as he pleased. He added that his instructions forbade him to allow the delivery of any kind of goods coming direct from another country where the sale had taken place abroad. The American Consul, however, still insisting upon search for and delivery of the contraband of war, the English Consul, upon the 21st, dpposed the application, repeating more forcibly his arguments of the 18th. The President, therefore, upon the 22d, notified to the American Consul that his duty was confined to confiscating contraband whenever its existence was proved, but did not extend to mak ing investigations upon the subject. The American Consul, still persisting, again re ceived the same reply, the President declaring him self convinced that the alleged delivery of arms and munitions had not taken place. The consignees of the Castor, in concert with the British Consul, upon their parts offered to unload the ship entirely, provided the expenses were paid by Brazil. The President forwarded this offer to the American Consul, with a proposition that the latter should defray the costs. At this juncture the Federal steam frigate Mohi can put in at Bahia, and a report was immediately circulated that she intended to seize the Castor. The captain of the English vessel (while drunk, as is rumoured) attempted to leave the port without having complied with the forms required by the cus toms. He was brought to by the guns of the forts, put back, and went through the accustomed formali ties preparatory to setting sail anew. Before the Castor was outside the harbour, the Mohican got up steam, and went in pursuit. Perceiving himself chased the captain of the Castor determined not to leave the port, but to place himself under the pro tection of Brazilian ships until the arrival of an English man of war. Thereupon the Mohican left Bahia to look after the Confederate privateers; and, upon the Ist inst., an American brig, coming from Rio Grande do Sol , reported having recently passed the Florida, with the Mohican in c hase. The above facts were all respecting the matter known at Rio upon the 9 th. They have g iven rise to an exchange of notes between the Minister for Foreign A ff airs and the Minister of the Un ited States. The latter is rep orted to have sent in an u ltimatum, demanding, let , t he dismissal from their posts of the Presidents of Bahia and Pernambuco ; 2d, payment by the Brazilian Government of the value of Federal ships captured or burnt in Brazilian dispute has been ports or waters; 3d, an indemnity not transpired. A rumour is current that the m anner has settled, but in what red. The report, in fact, must be taken w i t h all reserve. Fore i gn Mail Packet List.
