MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is an abundant supply of money in the general discount market, and the rates are a little easier. s The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday comprised an influx of £39,000 in bar gold, and the withdrawal of 40,000 sovereigns. There was no material alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £1,043,000,and the exports to £493,500, showing a balance of £549,500 in favour of this country. The silver market during the week has been ♦ery active, and large sales have been effected for Bom bay, at prices ranging from 61Id. to 61 746 d. per oz. standard. The amount now on hand is very limited. The Bombay steamer leaving Southamp ton on 27th inst., will have a large amount of specie on board. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according t o Mr. R2uter's telegram, the French 3 per Cant. Rentes were 67f. sc. Heavy. There is very little alteration to notice to-day in the Market for the English Funds, which, however, continue firm, notwithstanding the paucity of business. The tendency is favourable, owing to the improving aspect of monetary affairs both here and in Paris. Console are 93 1 for trans fer, and 931 1 for the account. Transac tions have taken place in the New Threes and Reduced Annuities at 91: 1, the 5 per Cents, 1081; India 5 per Cents., 1091 4 ; Enfaced 4 per Cents., 981 7 do. 5 per Cents., 1071 4 ; do. 51 per Cents., 461 ; and Exchequer Bills, Is. die. to 2s. prem. In the Foreign Market there has been less activity and the variations in prices, except for Portuguese, which are better, have been unimportant. Portu guese 3 per Cents., 1853, have advanced to 491 1; ditto, 1862, to 4914, and the New Loan to 16 2 premium. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are 92 93; do., 1858, 701 -I; do., 1862, 711 1; do., Consolides, 531 4 ; Greek, 301-, 31; Spanish Passive, 35: f, ; do., Certificates, 131 6 ; Mexican, 421 2.; and the Confederate Loan, 64 66.

Colombian Scrip, 14; Danish 4 per Cents., 881 ; New Granada, 16 ; Peru vian 41 per Cents., 871 ; Venezuela 3 per Cents., 251; do. 6 per Cents., 611 6 ; and Italian 5 per Cents., 721. The dealings in the Railway Share Market hav e been of the most limited description, but in several instances prices have exhibited increased heaviness. Great Northern A Stock, South Wales, Metropo litan, and North Stafford have each declined 1, while North Western have improved 1. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive at aboul previous quotations. Bank Shares continue in limited request, and generally sustain former rates. Imperial Ottoman are marked 181 ; London Chartered of Australia, 29130; India Land Mortgage Bank are quoted 3 to 31 prem.; Anglo-Austrian, par to 1 prem; Imperial Privileged Austrian, par to prem. ; and East London, 2: 1 prem.

Prophecies widgeshire. Illustrated Sporting News. We have no other alternative but to adhere to our last week's selection—Catch'em Alive, Limosina, and Roman Bee, to furnish the victor, and to back for places. If we have any preference it is for the Irish horse. OBSERVER—The Field. Giving every consideration to the respective chances of all the starters, I cannot help thinking that the result of the Cambridgeshire will be in favour of Limosina or Summer side, and next to them I expect to find Port Royal, Despair, and Carnival. VATICINATOR—Sunday 'li'nes. We build our hopes on Carnival, Gemina, Exchequer, Port Royal, and Summerside, setting aside Limosina and Catch 'sin Alive, the first and second favourites. Our final award must be -- Exchequer 1, Pert Royal 2, and Suromerside 3, expecting Carnival to be close behind. FLY EY-NIGHT— Weekly Times. At this writing no one candidate presents such a formi• dablo appearance as Limosina, and for her alone shall I plump," and her Commendable performance yesterday week back in the Cesarewitch Stakes fully justifies such confidence. T OUCHSTONE—Era. As the money is now-a-day s the great criterion to follow in picking out the probable winners of big races, we shall place the first three as follows :—Limosina Grimshaw), 1; Catch em-Alive (S. Adams), 2 ; Port Royal (Crouch), 3. BEACON—Sporting Gazette. I believe Carisbrook, Exchequei , B athilde, Limosina, Catch 'em Alive, Despair, and Port Royal, will form the front divi• sion in this great contest, and in selecting two to stand upon outright, they must be Catch'em-Alive and Despair. RHYMING RICHARD —Sporting Gazette. Many have claims which I name not at all, On two alone shall my _fiat fall— Limosina, peerless, and Carnival Bell's Life. ' We can come to no other conclusion than that public running points most distinctly to Limosina as the winner; but at the same time we cannot help noticing that one of the strongest and cleverest parties on the Turf are backing Catch 'em Alive for a great deal of money, and there is just the chance that Lord Stamford's mare will on Tuesday next meet a second Lioness, for Catoh'em is backed as freely as the latter was, and the performances of the two were equally bad till these weights appeared. VANGUA RD—Sporting Pilot. We shall, indeed, be much mistaken if either Catch 'em Alive, Roman Bee, or The Comet do not turn out the suc cessful hero of the 25th Cambridgeshire Stakes tussle ; and we ar e quite prepared to see Exchequer run a good horse, too. AUGUR-Bporting Life. I shall range on my side Cariabrook, Summerside, Limo- B ina, Jack of Hearts, Catch 'em Alive, Roman Bee, Tolurno, and Comet. Setting this lot down, let me record a final vote in favour of Limosina and Summerside—next to whom we way see Cariabrook and Comet. POLICE IN' This Day BOW. STREET. ROBBING THE MESSRS. ROUTLEDGE,--The two men Lacy and Banks were placed at the bar on remand charged, theformer with stealing and the latter receiving, eight books, the property of Messrs. Routledge and Co., value £2 2s. 6d. Mr. Gammon appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Wake ling defended Banks, and Mr. Lewis the prisoner Lacy. The books in question, it will be recollected, were stolen from the warehouse, and sold to a person named Holder, a bookseller in the Strand, and were seen by Mr. Routledge exposed for sale in the window so soonafter their publica tion that it was impossible they could have been honestly come by. He made some inquiries as to how be became possessed of the property, when he said ho had purchased them of a man named Banks, and that they had been brought to his shop by a porter named Lacy. The former evidence having been read over, Mr. Wakelin said he should like to put a question to Holder. The witness said, in reply, Banks had been in the book trade for years, and was always considered an honest man. For the last three or four months he had often brought books for sale. Would swear that it was either Thurs lay, the Bth of October, or the following Friday that Banks called. His house had not been searched by the police. By Mr. Lewis—Since the last examination, Mr. Bell, of the firm of Bell and Daldy, Fleet-street, had called and pointed out some hooks in his shop window as their property. Ho told him he had purchased them of Banks. Ackrill, the police-constable, said he had frequently seen both prisoners together. He did not state that on the last occasion, because he was not asked. He had been watching the prisoners for some time. Mr. Lewis applied on the part of Lacy to be admitted to bail. Mr. Wakeling said, as bail had been refused for Lacy, he did not suppose it was of any avail his asking for bail for Banks. He could call two or three witnesses. Mr. Corrie--To show where he purchased the books ? Mr. Wakeling—Not so much as that. (Laughter.) Mr. Corrie—l think the case a very clear one, and I shal, not accept bail. Committed for trial accordingly. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK,—Charles Newton, a collector lately in the employ of Messrs. Firmin, wholesale button makers in the Strand, was again placed at the bar charged with embezzlement. Two or three cases were proved on the former occasion, and this morning a young man from Mr. Gody, tailor, Pall-mall, proved the purchasing a sword of the Messrs. Firmin, payment for which had been made to the prisoner, who gave his receipt accordingly. No entry of the trans action appeared in the books of the firm. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the whole of the charges, and said he did not take the money with any intention of stealing. He had unfortunately used some money belong ing to his employers. and on the day he was taken into cus tody he had been trying to borrow of his friends to make up a certain sum, but he had failed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. NIGHT CAB HORSES AND CABS.—Maurice White, of 1, Chapel-place. Russell-square, horsbkeeper, was charged before Knox, by Mr. Win. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelly illtreating a horse by using it, attached to cab 3,042, in an unfit state, and the prisoner was further charged by Hurn, 344 A, with being drunk and incapable. Hurn, 344 A, deposed to seeing the prisoner sitting on the box of his cab, in Coventry-street, and on speaking to him he found that he was drunk, and totally incapable of taking care of the horse and cab. While he was speaking to the prisoner one of the officers of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals came up and examined the horse. He (Hurn) then took the prisoner.to the station, and the officer of the society took the horse to the Green yard. Simeon Sell deposed that while in Coventry-street with Rutherford, another officer of the society, he saw the last witness speaking to the prisoner, and on his (Sell) examin ing the horse, he found a large deep wound on its shoulder and both hocks cut and bleeding. The horse was an old worn-out animal, and not fit for public use, and every step it took it stopped as if in great pain. The prisoner was so drunk that he could not say where he came from, and there was no name or address on the cab. Mr. Arthur Berry, veterinary surgeon, said he had examined the horse and found several sores on it. The horse was old, lams, and entirely worn out and past work altogether. The carriage was also in a filthy state and not fit for use. Mr. Knox said he could not deal with the carriage under he present charge. The prisoner said he was not drunk, but Hurn said he was so drunk that he had to hold him to keep him on the footpath. Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 20s. or 14 days, and recom mended steps to be taken against the proprietor of the horse and cab. THAMES. ROBBING A WIDOW LADY OP HER, JEWELLERY.-- Josiah Rixon, a strange little man, about 30 years of age, and described as a porter, of No. 9, Hague-street, Bethnal green, was brought before Mr. Partridge on a charge of stealing plate and jewellery, the property of a widow lady named Major, of No. 5, Coburn-terrace, Bow-road. The value of the property was statel to be £BO. It appeared that the brother-in-law of the prisoner had been in the service of the prosecutor for 22 years, took care of her house, and lived there. He had occasion to leave town for a few days, and for the protection of Mrs. Major and her property he recommended that the prisoner should have charge of the house in his absence. A bedroom which contained a chest in which Mrs. Major's valuables were deposited was set aside for him. On Sunday night the prisoner introduced a conversation about jewellery, and the gold and silver watches and other articles of value he had in his possession. He also said he was once possessed of massive gold chains and bracelets to a considerable amount. Mrs. Major was taken off her guard by this conversation, and unlocked her drawers, from which she took her plate, jewellery, and silver coins, which she exhibited to the pri soner, who said they were very nice. Mrs. Major replaced the property in the drawer in prisoner's bedroom, and did not suspect at that time she had a thief in the house. On Monday morning the prisoner left the house and said he was going after a situation. He returned in the evening, and retired to his room. Next morning he was not forthcoming, and a servant girl called him. No answer was returned, and it was ascertained that the door was locked, and it was broken open by Mrs. Major and her servant. The room was in a terrible state of confusion, every box and drawer in the room had been broken open, and eve - ything turned out. There were 160 keys left in the room. These had been used in opening locks and drawers. Mr. Joseph Wohlstenholrne, pawnbroker, of No. 1 1 .6 and 17, Liquorpond-street, Gray's-inn-lane, produced a parcel containing 17 silver table and tea spoons, and other articles, which the prisoner brought to his shop on Tuesday morn ing at 11 o'clock, and asked for a loan. He asked the pri soner to whom the property belonged, to which he replied that his sister, Mrs. Fennel, of Charles-street, Hatton Garden, was the owner of the property, and that she kept a baber's shop. Mr. Wohlnstenholme said he should like to see the sister, and rightly suspecting the prisoner was a thief, went to the door to look for a police-constable. The prisoner, suspecting his intentions, bolted by a side door way and made his escape, leaving the goods behind him. Mrs. Major identified the plate. Mr. Partridge—l have no hesitation in saying that the conduct of Mr. Wohistenholme is highly creditable to him. I thank him in the interests of justice and public morality for what he has done. I wish every pawnbroker would act in the same manner. Mr. Bodger, carpenter, of Hatton-garden, who had also behaved very well in the matter, produced a snake bracelet, a brooch, a silver thimble, and other articles, which Mrs. Major also identified. They were left with a relative of his by a relative of the prisoner, and directly he heard of the robbery he communicated with the police, John Jackson, a City police-constable, No. 645, stated that yesterday afternoon the prisoner accosted him in Bishopsgate-street, and said, "Have you heard of the rob bery in Osborn-terrace," to which he replied in the affirma tive. The prisoner said, "I am the man who committed the robbery." He took him into custody. Inspector Griffin and Inspector Kerrissey, of the K divi sion, who had oharge of the case, said the prisoner had been twice convicted of felony. The first conviction was Oi Years ago, and the second 6 years ago. Mr e .

ESCAPE OF A PRISONER FROM A TRAIN. —Early on Thursday morning a prisoner, Darned Frederick Robertson, made his escape from a railway train, W hil e being conveyed from Wakefield to Leeds for trial. The prisoner, who had previously managed to free his hands, got out of the window of the carriage while the train was in full motion, held on till the train was almost out of a tunnel, and then jumped cff. His hat was afterwards found in the tunnel, but the prisoner himself got away. He was charged with stealing a gold watch at the recent Halifaz cattle show. BREAD.

GREEK CHURCH IN AMERICA.---O Man hattan" says the Greek Church is to be started here on a scale of magnificence never attempted by the Catholics. It is to run opposition to the Catholic Ch urc h . T r i nity Church, in this city, obtained a grant of several hundred acres of land in the heart of the city, in the time of Queen Anne. Trinity is the Church of England. Trinity Church could buy the Rothschild family with her annual income. She spends it in supp orti ng 1 ,000 chu rc h es every year in startin g 500 new churches every year in the ta territories. Trinity is of account in religion in this land. When t he chief Greek priest arr i ved hre she differentstes, d anin adopted him, and permitted him to preach in Trinity Church, and in her chapels of St. John's, St. Paul's, and Trinity Chapel. This was a grand and sublime endorse ment of the Greek religion, and more safe than Lincoln's endorsement of Greek fire. Every one of the Russian war ships has a Greek chaplain on board ; they were all invited to the Episcopal Convention that recently met in this city, and were given front pews. It is well known that we have on the Pacific side 10,000 Greek Church members. These we wish to ring into the Episcopal Church. Alexander has expressed himself willing to have the Greek Church adopt the Church of England, and vice versa in America. Every night the Russian padres are received at the houses of the leading E p i s copal clergymen in this city. They all speak French. If an arrangement can be made between these pioneer • sof the Greek Church and the bishops of the Episcopal Church, it will add powerfully to the strength of the Episcopal Church in America. The Emperor will send over 1,000 more Greek priests to instruct the greenhorn Episcopals in the grand ceremonials of the Greek Church, and they will be adopted in all the Episcopal churches. It will make a mighty change in the Christian world, and the Catholic dignitaries may as well hang up their fiddles, for they will be overrun by the new excitement. GREEK FIRE.—The Charleston Harbor corre spondent of the New York Times says :—"A num ber of experiments with Greek fire have recently made by Mr. Short, the inventor, in presence of several officers of rank, with a view of contradicting the impression that the shellscontaining the fire exploded prematurely, The gun was placed in position on the beach and pointed seaward. Ten tin tubes, each of which is 3in, ire lenghth and ;in. in diame ter, and filled with the material composing the Greek fire, were then dropped in a conical shell and filled round with powder. The first shell thrown exploded prematurely, in consequence, it is said, of a defect in the fus s . Th e se ll s subsequently fired had white lead placed round the fuse cap, and, with perhaps one or two exceptions, fully accomplished all that had been claimed for them. A dozen shells were fired, nine of which exploded at a distance of 1,200 yards, To show the powerful effect of the Greek fire a number of tubes were lighted and submerged in water, where they were allowed to remain till nearly burnt, and then taken out, but the bright blue flame was not extinguished. Other tubes were lighted and completely buried in most sand, which was closely packed, and this also failed to quench the fire. The tubes burn for a about a minute and a half. When first ignited the fire issues from one end of the tube with . a fierce, rushing sound, not unlike that which accompanies the flight of a rocket, and extends the distance of a aboutY a but it soon sinks down to a dazzling blue flaineoute 2in. in length, losing its peculiarity of sound, and h con tinues to burn to the end. An ignited tube in a b a sin of water gives the later the appearance of boiling, It emits a heavy sulphurous smoke in large quantities:" titiets(;l'vn was on PUGILISTS AT WATFORD.—This 0 f as great Wednesday the focus of a collection f the lowest and scoundrels as possibly ever congregate d the vilest Lond o n thieves. It appears a fight was to hav e come off at Tring, whither the men, their backers, and patrons, started from London b y a n early train, b u t a f ter fighting a considerable time the fight was stopped by the returned police; the party then by train, alighted at the Watford Watford Station, and with in a few fields fixed the ropes, and recommenced the light, and after fighting an hour and a half the affair was brought to an end by one of the men being cons idere d dead to all " time." Tk e wen frightfully punished, bleeding from every ' wound, swoollen, and disfi gur ed to a fearful extentvere led from the field to the public • house. But for a plentiful supply of water from the river Colne, one of the two would have left the field a corpse. Men dressed as gentlemen, evidently supporters of the "Ring," were there in force, bat their fearful disgust ing language was horrible beyond description. The fight over, the men, their backers, and the select company went to the public-house in the vicinity of the station. One of the c h a mpions was conveyed in a blanket, mole dead than alive, but after being washed was sufficiently restored to be sent to Lucien. But for hours such blasphemy, such curs ing and swearing, were never before heard ; it would I , ertzar all description, 0 1 i i 1311 f 65 i 2 453 6 104 3 1011 1301 128 J 1014 87j I 78 ' 951 1 Business dont The Photo; the Thieves. (From the British Journal of Phologra I began operations on a good-looking ;mine , ick pocket, familiarly know n as " Perth Bess," w 6 h p om I was anxious to make No. 1 in our album. Now Bess, when brought into the yard and seated on a chair in front of the camera, had at once an idea of the purpose for which she had been brought there and, familiar as I am in "reading fac es ," I saw she was determined on thwarting our pictorial inten tions, although she wisely kept her own counsel. The plate being prepared, and everythi ng ready, I enjoined on her the necessity o f sitting quite still when I told her to do so. She faithfully promised attendance. "Steady, then," says I, pulling off the cap, and Bessie's head sitnultane ously underwent a series of slow steady oscillations from side to side which totally destroyed plate No. 1. Oa developing it, I found a sharp body with an intensely blurred head. I made fifteen trials on Perth Bees that day, but they were all total failures. When I pulled off the cap from the lens she was so nervous, she said, that the sight of the round glass looking at her that way made her feel so queer that she shook and trembled all over. Intimating my intention of giving up operations for that day, Bessie's eye twinkled and plainly told me that she thought herself the vic tor. So she was led back to her cell for a time. In this experiment no head rest bad been used, and finding the necessity of such an adjunct, no time was lost in procuring one with a heavy iron foot. Next day Bess was marched out, and again placed in the operating chair. During the focussing she behaved well—not the least motion was perceptible ; but when the ground glass bad been removed and the dark slide inserted in its place, Bess, who had acquired a knowledge of the routine of the business, on observing the cap re moved from the lens, suddenly threw around her head with an exclamation concerning " Thir flees that wur kittlin' her nose." During Bor 9 trials the same game was played. It was either " thir flees" that tickled her at the critical moment, or it was the head-rest that troubled her back neck, or it was an observation by her that she thought a side view of her face would look better (accom panying the observation with a corresponding movement), or, when a side view was attempted, a corresponding movement to the front, with a remark that, after all, the front view would be the best. I could stand it no longer; so, after preparing a plate, I called a couple of constables to come to my assistance, in order that her head might be kept steady by force. Having strapped her arms firmly down by her sides, my assistants stood behind and held her head and shoulders as firmly as possible. The plate was exposed; but, during these five seconds, her face had undergone a series of contortions so hideous that I retreated to my dark room considerably crest fallen, and, when the result was developed, it showed a picture so truly extraordinary that lan guage would utterly fail to describe it. Bess was conqueror once more. It now became evident to me that prisoners were not at all ambitious of having their portraits taken, and that, seeing so far as I had gone, both coaxing and force had been resorted to without success, it now only remained for me to try what cunning would effect; for, not only was the governor extremely anxious to have some prints of the girl for distribution among some of the other offices, but, " worse to feelings proud," my failures in pourtraying a black-eyed demure young lassie, were the subject of very free comment by my brother officers, and bets as to my ultimate success were being extensively made. After some hours' cogitation, followed by a day's work of a mechanic, I was again in the field, with my black-eyed enemy sitting before the camera as innocert looking as possible. The camera was un capped and standing in its place ; on the top of it rested my hand carelessly, one finger, unseen by her, being in contact with a little brass knob, which very slightly projected from the top. " Now Bess," says I, " I intend once more to try and take your portrait ; but, before we begin, I want to see if you can hold your head steadier today than you did formerly." Bess, little think ing that the focussing had been all adjusted before she was brought out, and that at that moment there was a sensitive plate in the camera waiting only the touch of the finger on the brass knob aforesaid—which, in reality was a trigger throw ing open a secret shutter inside the ca mera not dreaming of this arrangement, Bess sat as steady as a rock. The knob was pressed, the secret shutter did its duty; and when the picture was developed it dis played a magnificent negative, sharp and clear Various mechanical and even electrical contrivances were subsequently brought to bear on the principle of a secret exposure. Several of these contrivances answered their purpose most admirably, especially the electric one, which, by means of a wire passing up the stand and in contact with an electric mag net inside the camera, enabled me to expose the plate from inside of my dark room. It is now six weeks since I began operations as just detailed, and I have modified my original opinion about prisoners object ing to the taking of their portraits. Although there are one or two who—like Bess—sdtrofngthlye object, I find the generalityuasrelursahtyheßropb7r,utaicufellalrol%yv andwas apcatuaelmlyevreeci distinction.

Statues of /Wan Ramsay and Profess or Wilson. For several weeks past workmen have been en gaged in excavating for the foundation of the statu e of Allan R amsa y which is to b e erected in the north east corner of West Princes' -street Gardens at Edin burgh. As it is intended that the statue, together w i t h that of Professor Wilson, which is to oc cu py t h e north-west corner of th e East G ar d ens, should form a group, with the Royal Institution as a centre, the site has been fixed in a line with that building ; but, in consequence of the lirfalling some distance south of the upper terraee walk of the gard e n, th e statue will have it s foundation in the centre of the slope between the first d second walks—an ar rangement which necessitatesan excavation to a consi derable depth and masonry of the most substantial kind.
