MARKET MONEY AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The transactions in the discount market to-day have denoted a steadily sustained demand for com mercial purposes, and the rates have continued to show a little more easiness, owing to the large balances for employment. To secure business bankers and brokers are more eager to negotiate good mercantile securities, and competition has en• abled holders of these descriptions to get them legotiated on terms a fraction under the official minimum of 9 per cent. The failure has been announced of Messrs. Oe'riche and Co„ merchants, of Mark lane, owing to losses in cotton, bat the liabilities are not expected to exceed £50,000. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £225,400, and the exports to £487,200. The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday comprised an influx of £lO,OOO in bar gold, and a withdrawal of 30,000 sovereigns for Mauritius. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon there was no material alteraton, Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Reuters telegram, the 3 per Cent. Renter were quoted 65f. 95c.—firm. More failares are reported in Leeds, and others are expteted to follow. The market for the English Fonds opened heavily, and a decline, of 1 per cent, speedily ensued, but there is at the last moment a little less depression, the quotations for Consols being 871 88 for transfer, and 881 / for the account. A general decided decline has taken place in the Foreign market, and business is very quiet. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 696 701; do. Consolides, 606 I; Mexican, 266 27 ; do.

MARLBOROUGH - STREET. SHOCKING CONDITION OP OMNIBUS HORSES.—William Poulteney, the driver of omnibus 7,517, the property of Mr John Bacon, of No. 41, Ledbury-road, Bayswater, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt, by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelly ill-treating and torturing two horses by working them in an unfit state in an omnibus. The horses —or, more properly, the remains of horses— were brought to the front of the court for the magistrate's inspection, and they presented a pitiable spectacle. Pinkerford, one of the officers of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, proved seeing the de fendant driving two horses attached to an omnibus near the Tottenham-court-road last night about nine o'clock. The horses seemed very fatigued, and the defendant was whip• ping them. He stopped the horses, and on examining them the off side'horse had a large wound on the near side hock, which was badly swollen. The other horse had one of its hoofs slit. On telling the defendant the horses were unfit for work, he said he could not help it, and that if he had not brought them out some one else would have done so. Mr Arthur Cherry, the Government veterinary surgeon, deposed that one of the horses had a large wound on the near hock joint, and a sore on the outside of the arm of the near foreleg. The other had disease of the foot. which was incurable, and a number of sores about it. Both horses ware unfit for work of any kind, and would not work at all without being whipped. The defendant said ho had never driven a better pair of horses. Mr Tyrwhitt said he thought the defendant should not be proceeded against alone. A summons ought to be taken out against the owner of the horses. He would inform the defendant that he was liable to be sent to prism for three months, and he meant that observation also to apply to the proprietor. He would take the defendant's own recognis ance to appear on Tuesday, on which day the sum.nons against the owner would be returnable, and in the meantime the horses could be watched to see they were nct worked again. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1864. WESTMINSTER. LAMENTABLY DEFECTIVE STATE OF THE LAw.-A young man, of very respectable appearance, solicited the magistrate's advice under the following circumstances : Applicant said that he had to complain of the bite of a mad dog, and the damage he had sustained in consequence. He went into a shop yesterday in Westminster to inquire the price of an article there for sale, and as he was leav ing the house a dog rushed out from the rear of the premises, flew at him, and bit him on the leg. Mr Selfe—Where were you at the time he bit you? Applicant—Just leaving the door step in the street when h 3 seized me by the leg. I am well known at the shop. I have bought several things there, and I think it is a very bad thing to be bit by a dog in this way. Mr Selfe—ls be in the habit of biting mankind or womankind ? _ _ • . Applicant—l don't know. I believe so. The doctor that I went to said ho had no doubt it was the same dog that had bit some other people. Mr Selfe—Can you prove that Applicant—No, I cannot. Mr Selfe—Then, I cannot help you. Applicant—lf you were to see the wound where the dog seized me you would find it is very severe. Mr Selfe—You cannot take a summons unless you can prove that the dog is in the habit of biting people. You would have no proof under the Police Act that it is going about in a dangerous state. The mere fact of the dog's biting you is not sufficient to empower nae to grant you a summons. Applicant—He bit me severely—that shows he is dan. gerous. • Mr. Selfe—lle might have had a species of animosity to you. You must show that he is in the habit of biting other people. Applicant—Can I. have no redress for the damage done to my trousers ? Mr Selfe—Not here.. You must go to the County Court for any claim of that eort. THAMES. CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—Herman Menus, a German skin-dresser, was brought up on remand from yesterday Friday), to answer a charge of stabbing William Bryant, fireman on board a steamer bound to Bordeaux, and who will sail this afternoon in his vessel, in consequence of which the case was taken early. Mr C. Young, solicitor, defended the prisoner. ► It appeared from the evidence cf the prosecutor, who said he could not move the left side of his jaw, but who never theless treated the matter with great indifference, that on Tuesday night last he was on his way home to No. 16, Lambeth-street, Whitechapel, and between eight and nine o'clock he was stabbed " by that hero gentlemen there," pointing to the prisoner. The witness was directed to re late how the affair happened, and he said he was skylark- ing, and the gentleman said something to him. One word brought on another, and the " gentleman " hit him or stabbed him, and cut down the side of the cheek. He had pushed against the " gentleman." He had not moved one side of his face since he was cut. '' " In cross-examination by Mr Charles Young, the witness said he was drunk and did not recollect much at all about the matter. Two other men were with him. He struck against the prisoner, and the prisoner struck against him. Several witnesses were examined on both sides, who made out that the parties struck each other, but there was no doubt frem the, medical evidence of Mr John Comley, sur geon, of High street, Whitechapel, that Bryant had been cut down the left cheek with a sharp instrument. Mr Charles Young said the prisoner in self-defence struck Bryant with one of two tin cans he was carrying, and the sharp edge of the can inflicted the wound. Mr Partridge committed the prisoner for trial. TAKING CARE ox A FRIEND'S LUGGAGE.—CharIes Williams, a man of colour, a West Indian, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with stealing a chest, con taining a large quantity of linen and wearing apparel, the property of William Henry Long. The prosecutor said he was a seaman, and lately belonged to the ship William fell. The prisoner was also a seaman abroad. On Saturday, last the 17th of September, he landed at Southampton from Havre. His luggage was left at the Custom-house, in Southampton, on the previous day. When he went to the Custom-house, on Saturday, to claim it, he found it was gone. His chest contained a pair of trousers, a pair of slippers, 5 shirts, 6 singlets, a pair of drawers, 4 pairs of stockings, a pair of mittens, a rug, a feather pillow, and other small articles. He suspected the prisoner, who had been at Havre with him, and reached Southampton a day in advance. On making inqui ries he ascertained that a man of colour, whose description answered to the prisoner exactly, had been to the Custom. house at Southampton, represented himself as the owner and obtained the chest and contents. He met the prisoner last night in Ratcliff-highway, and said to him, " Hallos, have you got my chest?" The prisoner said "Yes," and he then asked him to give it up. The prisoner said, "I'll take you to my boarding-house and give you up all your things." The prisoner walked him about the streets for an hour without taking him to any boarding-house, and he gave him in custody to a police-constable. The witness then produced the key of his chest and identified his pro perty, which was produced. John Ashboarn, a police constable No. 341 K, said he went to Buleg's boarding-house, 233, High-street, Shad well, where the prisoner '*as lodging, and found there the whole of the stolen property. Some of it was contained in the prisoner's own cheat and the remainder in the prose cutor's chest. The prisoner made a long defence, which was in effect that his chest and the prosecutor's chest were both taken on shore together at Southampton, and so he took both to London. He intended to take care of Long's property. Mr Partridge committed the prisoner to Newgato for trial. SPAIN AND THE AMERICAN STATES.--A Washing. ton despatch to the New York World says :—" The United States has been called upon by the United States of Colum• bia, formerly New Granada, to fulful the stipulation of the treaty of 1816, by which it agreed to guarantee, forcibly, if need be, the neutrality of the Isthmus of Panama. Ram calls upon Columbia, with whom she is on friendly terms, to prevent the passage cf Spanish troops across the isthmus Cr purposes hostile to her. A s Columbia has not the requi site strength to oppose such a purpose on the part of Spain, she calls upon our Government to fulfil the guaranty above referred to. The only question was whether the United States of Columbia wero the proper party to demand the ful filment of the treaty, and the question was referred to the Attorney •General for decision, and upon investigation of the facts he finds that New Granada and the United States of Columbia are one and the same Government. It there fore becomes our duty to send troops and vessels of war, if necessary, to maintain the treaty and prevent Spain from transporting troops across the isthmus." ONLY A STICK.-"Do you. see this stick said a wry stupid acquaintance to Sidney Smith.

The police, hav ing heard of this observation, called on the woman and asked her if she would know the man if she saw him again. She replied in the affirmative, and the police man requested her to accompany him through the town, and to look out for the man She had described. She con sented, and for five days she walked from nine in the fore noon until four in the afternoon without success ; but on the sixth day she pressed tic arm of the policeman, and said, ~ There ho is," pointing to a man crossing the street. "Are you sure ? " said the policeman. " Yes, quite sure." " Then go he me, and leave the rest to me." • the policeman fol lowed the presumed murderer step by step. He breakfasted at the same tavern, and drank his punch in the same coffee-house. He accompanied him to the door of his residence at night, and pursued the same course for two days in succession. On the fourth day the stranger went to the railway terminus and asked for a ticket for Leghorn. The policeman did the same, and seated himself in the same carriage with the man he was watching. On arriving ' at Leghorn the suspected murderer met a companion, with whom he passed the entire day, speaking appa rently of serious matters. The policeman then thought it necessary to erap/eY an assistant whom he in structed to place himself in company with the two, and to offer himself as a guide to conduct them to the best taverns and other houses of entertainment. Ho was acceved, and after a couple of days the three persons were on the best terms possible. Tee policeman then told his assistant it was time to act, and that he should at a favour able opportunity propose to his companions to commit a robbery. After having considered the matter they agreed to carry it into effect the same night. In half an hour after wards they were arrested in their lodgings, handcuffed. and searched. On the person of the man with the black beard were found female ear-rings and other articles of jewellery, together will several bonds, which had been stolen from the woman murdered. On a further search a well •sharrened dagger was found in a narrow pocket, FRUIT. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, MONMOUTH R A.O ES--FRIDAY. Match : 100. Three-quarters of a mile.

(From Bell's Life,) JOE COBURN AND JEM MACE. The final deposit for this match, making thell,ooo down, was duly posted at Harry Brunton's, George and Dragon, Beech-street, Barbican, on Tuesday, Sept. 20—but although a considerable number of persons were present, in anticipa tion of some arrangement being come to for a choice of a place of fighting, they were doomed to disap- pointmeut, no one attending with any authority to arrange matters on behalf of Coburn, It was now supposed that Coburn's friends, wishing matters to be kept snug, in tended following our advice, and meeting Brunton privately at our office the next day—but this supposition proved as vain as the anticipations of the previous night, no one whatever putting in an appearance. We at once concluded that Joe intended adhering strictly to the articles, and that the 22d, the day named in the articles, would be selected by him—but that day also passed not only without our hear ing from him or his friends, but also without any sign from Brunton on behalf of Mace, a circumstance at which we were not a little surprised. On Friday, however, Harry Brunton attended, prepared to act for Mace, and ex pressed his surprise that Coburn had not communicated with him on the subject. Here he was joired by Nat Lang ham, who has nominally represented Coburn in this country —but, on our questioning Nat, he said he had no authority to toss, and was quite as much in the dark as to what Joe's intentions were as ourselves. This increased the difficulty of the position, and we began to have fears as to the re sult, but, fortunately, in the nick of time Mr. E. James, editor of the New Y o rk Clipper, made his appearance at our office as a properly qualitial representative of Coburn and after a few preliminaries, he and Harry Brunton tossed for the choice of place, and agreed that the winner should give the loser notice on Friday next, at a house in the neighbourhood of Dublin, of the intended trysting place. The toss was won by Mr James, and, so far as arrange ments could then be made, all terminated amicably and s atisfactorily. Before parting it was further agreed that the representatives of the men should meet between 1 aad 3 on Monday, Oct. 3, at the same house, where the notice is to be given to agree upon a referee. During the week we have had several communications from Mace, two from Liverpool and ono from Manchester, in each of which ho represents himself as batter than ever he was in his life. He states that he shall be bigger than in any of his former battles, and will weigh about list 51b. From Coburn, as we have stated, we have no direct ac counts, but rumour states that ho is doing good work, and although, perhaps, still a little fleshy, is getting himself into excellent fettle. We have still heard of but little betting, nor does the excitement appear to increase, as it did on the eve of the great fight between Tom Sayers and Heenan. This is doubtless in a great measure owing to the prevail ing belief that the mill will not come off. A very general feeling exists, amounting almost to a certainty, that the authorities in Ireland will trot permit the fight, and this teing so, people seem to take it into their heads that Co burn will stick to the strict letter of the articles, and a draw will be the result. This we can hardly believe will be the case, and we have every confidence that when the event:ul time arrives both will be at their posts, and that no unfair advantage will be attempted on either side, Mr James in forms us that in New York there is quite as much betting as on the Sayers and Heenan match, and that anything above 5t04 on Mace is eagerly taken. _ _ . Nat Langham starts this day for Ireland to give his counsel to Joe Coburn. Telegrams will be sent daily to the Mitre, St Martin's-lane, with all the tips, and the re sult of the fight will be known within a few hours after its decision.
