• , - , _ - _ - - • MONEY MARKE T AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK. A very good inquiry for accommodation has been experienced this morning in the general discount market, where the rates continue firm, 31 4 per cent. being the average charges for the best three months' bills. The opinion is now prevalent that soon after the payment of the October dividends the directors of the Bank of England will inaugurate movement that will give the commercial classes increased facilities in the negotiation of their securities. A further sum of £27,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under :- 1863. 1862.

BANK OF ENGLAND. HALF•YEARLY MEETING-(THIS DAY.) The usual half-yearly court of the governor and proprie tors of the Bank of England was held this day in the Back Parlour; Kirkman Hodgson, Esq., governor, presided. The minutes of the last half-yearly court having been read and confirmed, The GOVERNOR said he had to inform the court that that was one of the quarterly general courts, held in accordance with the charter, and that it was also one of the half-yearly general courts appointed to Pc held by the 12th bye-law for the making of a dividend. He said the net profits of the half year ending the 30th of August last were £669,208, making the amount of rest on that day £3,671,505, and then after providing for a dividend of £4 10s. per cent. the rest would amount to £3,016,620, The court therefore proposed that a half-year's dividend of interest and profit be made on the 10th of October next of £4 10e. per cent., without de duction on account of income tax. The roction having been seconded, A PROPRIETOR was of opinion that the time had now arrived when some effort should be made to increase the dividends paid by the Bank of England to something like that paid by the joint stock banks. The latter paid divi. dends in some cases to the amount of 17 or 20 per cent. per annum, whilst the Bank of England only paid about 9 per cent., with a paid-up capital amounting to 14 millions and a half. He also considered the amount of rest was more than sufficient, and that at least some portion of £3,000,000 should be distributed amongst the proprietors. The GOVERNOR said a statement was made at their last meeting of the difference of dividend paid by the Bank of England and that of the Joint Stock Banks, and in arguing upon that difference, it was not a fair calculation between them to take the per tentage on the paid up capital of the Bank of England. They were bankers to the public, and it was of the utmost importance that there should be national confidence in them. He reminded the Court of the old saying "safe as the Bank," and was of opinion that it had arisen in consequence of their large capital and known resources of meeting everything they put their name to. It was quite a mistake to suppose that every legitimate and proper advantage was not given to their customers. All the conveniences granted by other establishments were to be bad at the Bank of England. He thought the divi dend declared a very fair one. (Hear, hear.) The motion of the Governor was carried unanimously. The usual resolution of the payment of the dividend having also been agreed to, The GOVERNOR said that as the present rate of dividend exceeded that of last half •year it was necessary, in confor mity with the Act of Parliament, 7th Geo. 111,, cap. 48, that the same should be confirmed by the ballot in the customary manner, and that the Court should Y 9 the 15th instant, at four be adjourned until Tu esda o'clock to take the determination by votes in print or writing of the question on the resolution for the dividend. A resolution to that effect was also agreed to. A PROPRIETOR muved a vote of thanks to the governor and directors, and congratulated them on the increase of dividend. The GoyEß:coß acknowledged the compliment, and the procee4ings terminated. MARKETS---This Day. MARK-LANE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN INFURIATED SOLDIER —Henry Dower, a private of the 2d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards was charged before Mr. Knox, as follows : Mr. Mcßean, 332 A, said—At half-past nine last night I was called to the Crown Tavern in Heddon•court, Regent-street, and there found the prisoner making a great disturbance. The prisoner was put out of the house, and a comrade he had with him got him as far as Vigo street, when I was again called by the bystanders to pick the prisoner and his comrade out of the road, where they had both fallen. I pursuaded the prisoner to go away, but he refused, and knocked me down. Three or four soldiers coming by took the pri soner as far as Burlington.-street, but not liking his vio lent conduct left the prisoner, who returned, and tried to force his way into the tavern, when the landlord gave him in charge. The prisoner again knocked me down and kicked me, and I had to send for four or five constables to help me to take the prisoner to the station owing to his vio lent conduct. Sergeant James Read, the prisoner's sergeant, said the prisoner's character was irregular. M'Bean—The kick the prisoner gave me was in the chest, and I can this morning scarcely breathe. The pri soner smashed my uniform hat, and also assaulted other constables at the station. Mr. Knox—l will have the case put back for a short time and let the landlord of the house attend, and (to Inspector Silverton) have the constable seen by the surgeon. On the case being resumed, Inspector Silverton handed Mr. hnox the following certificate : " I hereby certify that police-constable 332 A is suffer• ing from fractured ribs. " H. T. R. BusH, M.R.C.S. "Warwick-street, Sept. 10." Mr. Edwin Wilsher, landlord of the Crown tavern, Heddon-court, Regent-street, said the prisoner came into the house with a gentleman. The gentleman then left, and prisoner created a great disturbance. Ho did not see the prisoner strike the constable. Mr. Knox (to I‘l‘Bear.)—You acted very temperately, and I am grieved to see that you are injured. Go home and get plenty of lest. I shall remand the prisoner for a week. TIIA.nEs. A TEETOTALLER'S RELAPSE.--Esther Graham, a mar ried woman, was brought before Mr. Leigh, charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting police-constable Ebenezer Meads, 488 A. The constable stated that, at seven o'clock last evening, the prisoner was turned out 01 the Nelson public-house, in Back-road, Shad well. She was very noisy, and attempted to break the windows of the public-house. He requested her to move on, which she refused to do, and made use of the most foul and blasphemous language. Ho took her into custody, and she threw herself on the ground, and kicked and plunged fearfully, He procured assistance and took her to the station-house. The prisoner, in defence, said she had been a teetotaller three months, and during that time she had not tasted any spiritous liquors, wine, or beer. Yesterday some friends called upon her and made her drink some gin. and ale. It took an effect upon her, and she could not say wha she said or what she did. if the magistrate would let her go she would be sober for three years. Mr. Leigh—You are fined three shillings. CIGARS AND CRINOLINE.—Esther Isaacs, a jewess, was brought before Mr. Leigh, charged with smuggling slbs. of cigars. Mr. John Penny, an examining officer of Excise, pro duced a huge crinoline, and said the prisoner was a pas senger in the Britannia steamship yesterday afternoon, and in and around the inside of her crinoline he discovered the five bags produced filled with cigars. The production of the crinoline and bags created ituniense laughter. The prisoner, a foreigner, said she brought the cigars from Holland for her husband to smoke during the ensuing Jewish holidays. Mr Selfe—Your husband could not smoke 5 lbs. of cigars in one week. You are fined 505., and, in default of pay ment, one month's imprisonment. Patrick and Michael Murphy, brothers, were charged with stealing some empty chests from a grocer's stable. They were allowed to go at large for a week, and their mother promised that they should be forthcoming on Thursday next. Two prisoners were brought up on remand and dis charged. The above constituted the whole of the business this morning, and were disposed of soon after 12 o'clock. Mr. Leigh remarked on the lightness of the calendar, Mr. Browdler, the second clerk—lt is the lightest day I remember during the 12 years I have been here, and I can only account for it by the thunder storm and heavy rains of last night which kept people within doors. Boulogne Nearly Fifty Years Ago. Boulogne in 1815, iorty-eight well-sounded years ago, was a most insignificant and unsavoury fishing-village. The upper town, which is the ancient and better one , was not very much different ln gstreets from what it is now ; but the lower town consisted chi€fly of the Grande Rue, de I 'Ecu, the Rue tant co h u h p t l s e , o i f ll s straggling irregularlyig Peed tent FaY with fishermen's e ' nd a built, smutty without an d smok y within. There was then scarcely what cou l d be c all ed a harbour ; a there was no pier whatever. There was no cus tom-house, but a wretched shed, exposed to the four winds of heaven, into which the few passen gers who arrived by sailing•boats were quickly huddled to be gruffly examined. Boats then rarely departed from Boulogne more than once a week, and the day of departure was never certain. I have known passage boats wait for passengers, or for a wind, three or four days together—nay, occa sionally a week. Everybody then travelled by way of Calais; and even at Calais, in winter -time, the passengers were often not more than a dozen and seldom above five and twenty. In the principal port of debarkation in France you were then dragged into the harbour by haggard old poissardes, har nessed with ropes to their work, who carried your luggage to the hotels in wicker fish-baskets, sus pended from their half-broken backs. Boulogne, like Calais, was then lighted by tallow candles, let down by a cord and pulley from either side of the street. In Calais, in those days, it was, with these rude appliances, just like darkness visible; whereas at Boulogne, on what is now called the Port, the Quai de la Douane, the Rue tent Perd tant Paye, you could not grope your way without a lantern. There were in 1815 but three decent hotels in Bou logne—the Hotel d'Angleterre, in the Rue de l'Ecu ; the Lion d'Or, in the same street ; and the Hotel de France. Now there are, at least, twenty hotels, great and small,of which a dozen are very tolerable and four or five excellent. In the early days of Whi ch I speak, bedrooms at Boulogne were charged one franc, thirty sous, and two francs a-night, according to the size and floor in which you were placed. Breakfasts, plain, with coffee and an egg or two, were from twenty -five to thirty sous, and dinner at the tables d'hote, with vial ordinaire, from two francs, ten sous, to three francs. Now bedrooms are two, three, four, and five francs, according to the size and floor; breakfasts are two and three francs, and four francs, and dinner at the tables d'hOte from three and a half to four, five, and six francs. Yet the accomodation is but a degree better, and the cookery is by no means so good as it was eight and-forty, forty, or thirty years ago. There is not the cream-ewer for a jug, and the pie-dish for a basin in your bedroom, that existed in my youth. The bedrooms, too, have now a strip of carpet, in stead of being sanded and tiled, or wooded and frette as th e p arquet i n t h e o ld en t i me ; but the beddin g and mattresses are no better (they were then excellent) than after the Peace of Paris ; and the silk and damask curtains, where such exist, are not so rich as their we • • re in 1815. The class of English Tainting Boulogne in the ten years from 1815 to 1825 was highly aristocratic , though tant soft pets demi rep in the feminine, and blackleg in the masculine gender; but, though not so aristocratic and fashionable now a s in a past generation, the Eng lish sojou rn i ng at Boulognerespectablein than at any former time. It is t rue t h ere are still a few scores of Pro visional Committee -men left there, the remnant of those of 1845 and 1846, and a few S t cores of black legs and lavanter s , w h o h ave failed o pay up their losses at Tattersall's ; but what 70 or 80 black sheep among an English population of 7,000 or 8,000, and a general population of about 32,000 ? The number of English at Boulogne, after the peace of 1815, scarcely amounted to 800, and I doubt whether it amounted to 1,000 • in 1823; but then, among these eight hundred or a thousand, full a twentieth were scions of the peerage, being either honourables or titular Iriah or Scotch peers. Now the peerage and the scions of aristocracy are much less fast livers than in the days of George 111. and George IV., when there was scarcely a young man of rank or fashion that did not gamble at the clubs, on the turf, at cock-fights, or on the prize-ring.

Prime Downs and half breds changed hands at the extreme rates of Monday, the top price being 5s 4d—in some instances, 58 6d per 81bs. Inferior breeds, met a slow sale, but at full prices. The few lambs on offer changed hands at about previous rates. Calves —the supply of which was but moderate—moved off slowly, at previous currencies. The highest quotation was 4s 81 per 81bs.

The following i ' ----- 8 from the Tribune: — " Washington, Aug. 27. ,‘ NotwithstanJin the Navy within th e the numerous vessels added to past two years, the works of construction is still t o e has just decided , go on. The navy department I.° b uild another fleet of iron-clad vessels. They will be longer and more formidable than any now in the servi being, in fact, perfe ct ce of this or any other coun try,et copies of the great Erics son ocean ships Purit an a n d Di cta t or which are now building in New York. This last new batch of vessels is to be the most perfect in the entire navy ; and in order to rend er themevery way, they are to be b u il t unexceptionable in New York. Boston, at the navy yard s of Philadelphia, and Portimouth , New Hampshire. Naval superintending them. _ construc t or s alone are Work on the vessels will soon commence. Each will have two turrets of enormous thick ness , and the side armour will be some f eet direct i n ' thickness. There will be for each vessel two pairs of act ing engines with jet conde nsers the cyli nders of which are to be vertical, and placedim mediately over the shafts; the diameter ' o f each is to be 55 inches, and the stroke of piston 3 feet. As there are two of these engines, the sp eed of the vessel will be rendered as great as if the c y linders were much larger. The boilers are to be of the horizontal tubu lar kind, with 900 square feet of grate, and not ex ceeding 61- feet in length, and 22,500 feet of heating surface. The tubes to be of brass, shells to be -inch thick plates , with 7-10 inch thick bottoms and furnaces, and braced for a working pressare of 351 b. per square inch. The screws to be of comp3sition of copper and tin, 15ft. diameter, of 22ft. mean pitch, to have four blades, and to be 2ft. long. They will be sustained from the counter of the vessel by a brass hanger, and the shaft will revolve in a brass pipe connecting the hanger with the hull. There will be required eight blow ing engines, with blowers equivalent to Dimpfel's No. 45, to blow into an air-tight room. Each boiler will be required t o have an au xiliary steam p um p . The usual number of duplicate pieces, tools, instru ments, stores, ice., required in such naval contracts are to be furnished. The department will advertise at once for turrets, which are to b e built as rapidly as possible." —........

Nor need we cross the Channel or rub our long-for gotten French in our desire eiiher to discover fur ourselves the habits and history of the truffle, or to import so many mysteries of the pounds at a cheaper rate ; for if these rough, black•looking vegetables could speak, they would astonish their admirers by declaring themselves, in broad vernacular English, to be 1 natives of Wilts, Dorset, and Hants. More than three quarters of the quantity sold in London, and of the finest quality, are produced in Englis h soil, and are in reality sup plied to the London markets b y our village labourers at a very low price; but as thi s is known to few, and as th e public imagine that a ch ea p English production must be inferior to an expensive foreign one, so the wholesale dealers will continue to sell them at immense profit as a foreign the c B latter na at very moderate prices direct from the obtains importation. On the other hand, may prices this coveted dainty country dealer; bat as, unfortunately, few orders of this kind, he is forced to fall back on the London dealers, and s u pp l y their d emand at thei prices, which are sure to be so low as to prevent him rown from deriving any profit from hie trade,—once a Treek. Departure of the Channel Fleet from the Clyde. The Channel Fleet, under the command of Rear- Admiral Sydney C. Dacres, C. 8., left the Tail of the Bank on Tuesday afternoon, shortly after two o'clock. It was the intention of the admiral to have sailed on Monday, but, owing to the violence of the gale, he deemed it prudent to remain till Tuesday. The morning opened fine, all trace of the severe gale which visited the West Coast on the previous day having passed away. About ten o'clock, however, there were indications of " dirty weather," and shortly after that hour rain began to fall heavily, accompanied with a Ugh wind from the west. It was again feared that the ships would not leave their anchorage that day, but all surmise was ended shortly thereafter by the heavy volumes of smok e emitted from the funnels of the several ships, indi cating their getting up steam. Shortly before two o'clock signal was made to " weigh" from the flag ship, and bustle and activity reigned throughout the fleet in preparing for sea. Hundreds of men, in answer to the boatswain's whistle, busied themselves in a thousand and one employments that a ship of war requires to be executed ere she can lease her moorings. The pre liminary duties for casting loose having been executed, and everything in readiness for weighing anchor a second signal from the Admiral sent the men to the capstans ; and almost as soon as the signal flags flattered from the masthead, the huge iron cables that hnd held the vessels to their moorings during the 8 days they have floated on the waters of the Firth, rose swiftly through the hawse pipes as they were gathered into the leviathans. The Resistance was the first to get under weigh, which she did in capital style, leading down the Firth ander easy bteam. The Liverpool followed closely in her wake. Next came the flag-ship Edgar, her double deck tiers of guns and towering masts contrasting imposnigly with the square rig of the ironsides, which speedily followed. As the other ships of the squadron swung round to their positions, steam was put on, and ere little more than three-quarters of an hour had elapsed since the signal from the flag-ship had been given the whole magnificent fleet was bearing down Channel under steam. A signal from the ad miral's ship, as the fleet stood opposite Gourock Bay, caused the Liverpool and other lead ing ships to lie to, the flag-ship thereafter leading the van, followed by the Liverpool, Emerald, Re sistance, Black Prince, Warrior, Defence, and Royal Oak, in line. They proceeded in this order round Kempoch Point and beyond the Cloch, when the Edgar, Liverpool, and Emerald, after exchanging signals with the other ships, put about and returned to an anchorage off Battery Point, opposite Fort Matilda. The other ships proceeded under full steam, and were seen off Cambrae Heads steaming at a rapid rate. _ No demonstration took place on the fleet leaving. Flags fluttered from the flag-poles belonging to the several villas along the share, and on being dipped as the admiral's ship passed this was courteously acknowledged by the flag-ship. The scene in Gourock Bay was a grand one, per haps the finest spectacle the fleet has afforded since its arrival. Such an assemblage of war ships awaiting the passing of the admiral's ship has sel dom been seen in the Clyde, and once seen can never be forgotten. Upon passing Toward Point a battery of guns was fired as the fleet passed out ; but no reply was given by the fleet. No reason can be assigned for the return of the threo wooden ships ; for although the weather was somewhat stormy, it was not so tempestuous but that such crack ships might have safely proceeded. The gunboat Trinculo, tender to the Edgar, never left her moorings, and still remains at her anchorage. At the Westminster Police-court, on Tuesday, a man, who gave the name of George Tnrner, was charged with obtaining money fraudulently by the sale of an advowson which he did not possess. Towards the close of last year he advertised two advowsons for sale, and the Rev. J. Cook, of Hood Church, near Birkenhead, entered into correspondence with him as to one of them. This led to an interview, and Turner took Mr. Cox to Hardwick, near 'Wellingborough, which was the living he professed to have for sale. He showed him the church and the village, and afterwards an agreement was made that Turner, as the agent of Mr. James Wilson, of Clapham-common, should sell the advowson to Mr. Cox for £2,625, of which £3OO was to be paid down. The sum was paid down, but Mr. Cox's solicitors, tailing to get any con veyance of the advowson, put the matter into the hands of the police, who could find no Mr. James Wilson. Turner was apprehended at Bath, where, it is said, he was living as Sir Henry Seymour. In the course of the hearing it came out that about the time when he professed to sell the advowson to Mr. Cox he was negotiating, as he alleged, for its purchase from the real owners. He was remanded till Tuesday next, and bail was refused, as several other charges were preferred against him. SHOOTING} AN ARCHBISHOP.--A MYSTERY.— It has been stated in all the journals of Europe that en the night of the 19th of July the Archbishop of Utrecht was the victim of a murderous attack at his country house, near Bois le Dec. The allegation was that he had been shot in the small of the back, that the ball had been ex tracted without his receiving any serious injury, and that no trace could be found of the assassin. Some surprise was expressed from the first that a shot should have been fired in the archbishc,p's house in the middle of the night without some of his followers laying hands on the mur derer. And the astonishment of the public was greatly increased when it came out that the police were not in formed of the crime till twelve hours after its commission —i.e., at four in the afternoon, whereas the clergy of the town knew of it at an early hour in the morn ing. It is, moreover, affirmed that the surgeon who ex tracted the ball was asked to keep the affair secret, but he told the archbishop that his prflessional oath compelled him to make a report to the judicial authorities. It is ascertained that no robbery was committed in the house. The archbishop has been interrogated by the magistrates, but nothing could be extracted from him to further the ends of justice. A strange fact is, that the wadding of the pistol which has been found consists of a piece of a special almanack, used by accoucheurs for the purpose of reckoning tke probable period of a confinement. When pressed by questions the Archbishop (Mgr. Zwyzen) said he suspected a certain interdicted priest. But the magistrates, after in quiry, have come to the conclusion that there is nothing against the individual in question, and that the indication must have been made for the purpose of putting the in quiry on a false scent. What interest the archbishop can have in making a mystery of this event is at present but a matter of conjecture, A POLICEMAN CHARGED WITH MURDER. ----A police-constable at Bury (Lancashire) has been committed to the New Bailey, Manchester, on the charg e of murdering his wife, in February last. In tha t month the body of a woman was found in the Bolton and Bury Canal, at Pendleton, about two miles fren3 Manchester. There was a bruise on one arm, bu t nothing to excite suspicion of foul play, and the result of an inquest was the finding of an open verdict of «Found drowned.

MEN DELSSOHN'S SI►ETCII OF ROSSINI.—I called on him (Hillier) early yesterday morning. Who sat there ? Rossini, big and stout, in a charming holiday humour. I really know few to equal him in wit and fun when he chooses ; we were laughing the whole time. I have promised him to have Sebastian Bach's mass, and some other things, performed for him by the Cecilia Society ; it will be something to make Rossini admire Sebastian Bach I However, he is for doing like the Romans at Rome, and howling with the wolves. He declares himself enchanted with Germany; and, if he once gets the wine list anywhere near the Rhine, the waiter has to show him to his room, or he would not be able to find it. He tells the most laughable anecdotes of Paris and the musicians there, of himself and his cwn compositions, and is so defe rential in people's presence, that one might positively think him in earnest, had one no eyes to look upon his crafty face. But there is esprit, and liveliness, and wit in every f ea t ur e and every word ; and whosoever will not allow him genius need only hear him preach, and he will see reason to alter his opi n i, Na . v . j 3r en da ss mn's Correspondence, RUSSIA AND G%:ERMANY. ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 9. The Journal de St. Petersburg of to-day denies the rumours published by the foreign press con. cerning new arrangements by Russia relative to Polish and German affairs. Speaking of the alleged raeical reforms and new alliances, it says :-- " The conclusions drawn from these pretended . news are as false as their premises. In Poland the Emperor, whose sentimtl nts ou the Polish ques tion have not changed, consi,t len his first duty to be the re-establishment of solid and material order, founded on the ground sutNerted by anarchical passions. From a diplomatic point of view, the IGovernment remains determined to fulfil its inter national obligations, and at the same time to main tain the rights of Russia within the limits of treaties. As regards Germ a n affairs, Russia sym pathises with the union of the strength of Germany, based on the interests of all the States of which that country is composed. Russia has no more reason to provide against the dangers which might result to her from G•3rmany, than Germany has to put herself on her guard against dangers n ru d m at o io u n r , s a yv n b d i c e h v i a d r e e n c c e t 7e r x e n t r t e m h a e v i e n , d t i h s c e r r e e t f i o o r n e : coming from Ru ss i a.
