MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The discount market continues firm, end 4 per cents. is the general charge fur first class three months' bills, but occasional business is negotiated per cent lower. About £5,000 in gold was taken to the Bank of E.neland yesterday. The proprietors of the United Bank of Lon don held their half-yearly meeting to-day, Mr. P. N. Laurie in the chair. The report of the directors stated that the net pro fits for the six months ending June 30 last after payment of all charges (including the sum of £82,098 17s. 4d. for interest paid and due to cus tomers on their current and deposit accounts), and - making due provision for all bad and doubtful debts, amounted to £89,446 lls. 10d., which, with the sum of £25,222 Os. 10d. brought forward from Dec. 31 last, left for appropriation £114,668 12s. Bd. The directors therefore declared an increased dividend of 18s. per share, clear of income tax, for the six months ending June 30 last. After this payment, amounting to £54,000, and appropriating £60,000 to the reserved fund, which will thereby be raised to £lOO,OOO, there will remain a balance of £668 12s. Bd. to be carried forward to a new profit and loss account. The Chairman congratulated the proprietary upon the very satisfactory position of the bank, the divi dend having been increased from 15s. to 18s. per share. The net profits made during the half-year amounted to £89,000 against £69,000 reported last January, and in addition to that sum £82,000 had been for interest on current and deposit accounts, against £49,000 last year. These sums testified satisfactorily to the system adopted by the direc tors, and that their liberal treatment to customers was not wholly disadvantageous. The £250,000 lost through the Pullinger frauds had been re placed, the reserve fund again stood at the high figure of £llO,OOO, and during the last three years the directors had, besides replacing the £250,000, paid £290,000 in dividends alone. The annual meeting of proprietors of the Colonial Bank took place to-day. A dividend of 6 per cent. for the half-year, being at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum, was declared. Two o'CLocK.

COURT OF DIVORCE :Before Sir C. Cresswell, Mr. Justice Wightman, and Mr. Baron Channel.) CHICHESTER V. MITRE, FALSELY CALLED CHICHESTER-- JUDGMENT. The Queen's Advocate, at the sitting of the Court this morning, applied to have the judgment postponed until the petitioner, the Hon. George Augustus Hamilton Chichester, had complied with different orders of the Court respecting alimony to the wife and costs which he had not paid. Dr. Spinks opposed the application. Sir C. Cresswell observed that the court had received no papers in reference to the application which he refused. The learned judge then proceeded to deliver judment. The case had been argued on demurrer, and it appeared that the petitioner alleged that he had not contracted a valid marriage with Mrs. Lucy V. Mure, whose husband had succeeded in obtaining a divorce on the ground of adultery with the petitioner. •At the hearing of the demurrer the Court had no doubt as to their judgment, but from the novelty and importance of the case, they considered it desirable that they should place the same on paper. The marriage - vs as solemnized at Faris, on the 19th of August, 1859, within three months after the dissolution of the previous mar marriage, which it was argued for the petitioner rendered it invalid, accordirg to the 20th and 21st of Vict. 55th and 56th sections, cap, 85. The whole case turned on the construction of those sections. The learned Judge went through the facts and arguments in detail, and said that the Court was clearly of opinion that the marriage •was invalid, COOKE V. COOKE.-JUDGMENT.

In this case the wife had obtained a decree of judicial separation from her husband, the Rev. Mr. Cooke, of Seymer. It will be recollected that the petitioner was ori ginally heard before the Judge Ordinary, and the cruelty the wire complained of was her removal from the care of the household and general illusage. Mr. Justice Wightman, on behalf of the full court, con firmed the former judgment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN THE POLICE CELL.—Sarah Ann Field, a respectably-dressed female, was charged be fore Mr. Mansfield with attempting to commit suicide in the police cell. It appears that, on the previous afternoon, the prisoner went to Sergeant Brown, of the T division, and said she wanted to give herself up for having absconded from the Whetstone Institution, and stolen several articles of cloth ing. She referred to a gentleman who knew her, and Ser geant Brown took her to the gentleman's house, and she sud denly became almost insensible. She was then taken to the Middlesex Hosp.tal, it being supposed she might have taken some poison, but the surgeon stating that she was suffering from the effects of drink, she was taken to the Marlborough-mews Station, and some time after she was locked up. Breach, 199 C, on going to the cell, found she had tied a pocket handkerchief so tightly round her neck as nearly to destroy herself. Sergeant Glass, the acting in spector, then placed a constable to watch her to see that she made no attempt on her life. Mr. Mansfield asked what place the Whetstone Institu tion was ? Sergeant Brown said he believed it was an institution for unfortunate females. . _ Prisoner said she was a servant out of place, and left the institution last Saturday. Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner for a week. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF A YOUNG DRESSMAIGER.— Virginie Garet, a young French dressmaker, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with attempting to commit suicide by drowning herself in the Serpentine. Stephen Greases, a labouring man, deposed to seeing the young woman in the Serpentine yesterday afternoon, and with assistance he succeeded in getting her out. In answer to the charge, the young woman said she was in distress, and that induced her to do it. Mr. Mansfield remanded her for a week. It appears the young woman has only been in this coun try two months, and that she has been engaged a part of that time at two West-end dressmakers, but having no work, and being in great distress, she was, induced to make the rash attempt. WLLSULLY BREAXING A SIikUARE OF PLATE GLASS.— Elizabeth Bellamy, a good-looking young woman, was charged, before Mr. Arnold, with breaking a valuable square of plate glass. Joha Andrews, shopman to Mr. Carney, grocer, 346, King's-road, Chelsea, said that about nine o'clock last night, while he was serving a customer, the prisoner came in front of the shop, and with a stone deliberately broke a large square of plate glass. Witness asked her what she did it for, when she observed that she broke it as she wanted to be given in custody. Mr. Arnold—What is the value of the glass ? Witness—lt is a square of plate glass, and worth £lslos. Waterman, 274 A, said that the prisoner was given into his custody by the witness, when she observed that she wanted to be given into custody, as she was tired of her life. She added that she was destitute, and that a few days ago she left Leamington and came to London, having been promised by a man who had been paying some attention to her, that he would marry her. He lived with her a few days, when he deserted her, and she had been since quite destitute. Sue had nothing to eat all that day. Policeman B 67, stated that in the course of yesterday she broke the window of another tradesman, but the charge was not preferred, and as she was destitute, she was sent to Chelsea workhouse, but she did not remain there 102 11 1 long. - - - Air. Arnold remarked that it was a moat malicious act on her part to break so valuable a pane of glass as she had, but said that if her story were true one would be disposed to have some pity for her. He should remand her for a week, when in the meanwhile she would have the advice of the chaplain of the prison. THAMES. THS CRIMP AND HIS COMPANION.—CaroIine Scannell, a very showily-dressed young woman, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with committing a breach of the peace, and breaking 10 panes of glass in the windows of the house of a man named Henry Gilbert, a crimp, and land lord of a boarding-house for sailors in Nelson-street, Stepney. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, stated that the prisoner and Gilbert had lived together as man and wife for many years, and they parted a few months since. The prisoner was desirous of renewing the immoral connection, but Gil bert declined, and she had since annoyed him and made a disturbance in front of his dwelling. She was bound over to keep the peace towards him some time ago, and her sureties had expired. He now required her to find good bail to keep the peace again. She came last night to Gil bert's house, and made use of bad language and threats. He was to be married next Sunday to a young woman to whom he had been paying his addresses, and the prisoner declared the marriage should not take place, and by her violence and bad language caused a large number of dis orderly persons to assemble, and sbe then commenced hurl ing stones at his windows and destroyed 10 panes of glass. The complainant Gilbert, a large-faced man without whiskers, better known as " tough Gilbert," confirmed the statement of his solicitor. Mr. Woolryoh told the prisoner she had no claim on her paramour Gilbert, and must riot molest him. He ordered her to pay for the broken panes of glass. Mr. Charles Young—Will you order her to enter into recognisances. Mr. Woolrych—lf she does this again I certainly will. Atter some conversation the prisoner was ordered to enter into her own recognizances in the sum of £lO to keep the peace, and be of good behaviour for 12 months. As she was leaving the court she said " I will be at Gilbert's wed ding next Sunday. A NEW CURE FOR THE SMALL Pox..—James Gurd, a labourer in the employ of the " Victoria London Docks Company," was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing 2lbs. of cochineal, value 6s. The prisoner was a labourer at the bonded warehouses of the company, in Goodman's yard, Minories. He was leav ing the warehouses yesterday at 6 o'clock, when he was stopped by Thomas Pegram, one of the dock company's officers, who searched him, and found on his person 21bs. of cochineal. It was concealed in his pockets, his stock ings, and his shoes, and the value of it was six shillings. The prisoner's calves were represented to be false ones — that is, he had cochineal ones over his real calves. The prisoner had been at work among cochineal in the bonded warehouses in the course of the day. The prisoner, in defence, said that a poor man whom he knew, and who had a child laid down with the small pox, asked him to procure a little cochineal to cure the disease. (A laugh.) Mr. Woolr3 ch--WhatL cochineal a cure for the small pox ? The Prisoner--I believe so. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Woolrych said it was not likely any sane man or woman would be credible enough to believe cochineal was a specific for the smallpox, It was not a medicine at ail. Cochineal was a valuable dye, and used by dyers. The pri soner had stolen 2lbs. of it, and filled his pockets and his stockings with it. The Prisoner—l am very sorry. I have been seven or eight years in the employ el the company, Mr. Woolrych—You are fined 40s. for the unlawful pos session of the cochineal, or one month's imprisonment, THE OUTWARD CAPE MAIL.—The mail steam ship Cambrian left Plymouth yesterday morning for the Cape, with the mails, consisting ;tit 95 bags of papers, 14 bags of letters, 10 bags of books, and 67 passengers. ROYAL INSTITUTION OF GREA T BRITAIN . — At the general monthly meeting on Monda y , Willia m Pole, Esq., M.A., F,R.S., treasu rer and vice-president, i n the chair, General Theophilus Boilea u, F.R.S., and C has. Hewitt Moore, Esq., were elected me mbers of the Royal Institution. The thanks of the members were returned to John Ruskin, Esq., Professor Tyndall, and Ca ptain Spoke, 1 for their evening discourses on June 5, 12, and 23, DREADFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION. The adjourned inquest upon the bodies of the six men who were unfortunately killed in the Park Colliery, Baglan, near Briton Ferry, on Friday, the 26th ult., was held in the Town hall, N ea th, on Monday last, before Mr. Alex. Cuthbertson, coroner. Mr. Thomas Evans, the Government inspector of the South Wales district, was present to watch the proceedings on behalf of the Crown, and Mr. I. R. Tripp, solicitor,, of Swansea, on behalf of the pro prietors of the colliery, Messrs. Thomas, Son, and Co. The evidence was exceedingly voluminous, but the facts may be briefly stated. From the evidence given it appears that the Park Colliery is the pro perty of Messrs. Thomas and Co,, and has been corn paratively recently opened. The explosion occurred about a quarter to 8 o'clock on the morning of Fri day, and took place in the east side of the six-feet vein, where fourteen men were then at work. Wm. Woczley was the general manager of the colliery, and he deposed that the six-feet vein was considered a " fiery" or 'dangerous working place, and the men were consequently required to work with locked safety lamps. This rule, however, did not seem to have been invariably attended to, as on the previous day some of the men were working in the three-feet vein with their lamps uncovered. William Thomas acted as the overman about two days before the accident, but had been engaged in the pit for four or five months before, and knew the whole of the workings. He had not any special directions given him about the lamps, as he was supposed to know the duties of overman. The rules regulating the colliery required the overman to inspect the whole of the working places before the men descended the pit in the morning. William Thomas, the overman, went down the pit about 7 in the morning. Several workmen went down in the cage with him, and others followed immediately, but they remained at the bottom of the shaft, and did not proceed to work. There were 24 men in the pit at the time of the ex plosion, 14 being in the six-feet vein. Of these 14 three were killed on the spot, viz., Richard Edwards (suffocated), 54 ; Thomas Griffiths (suffocated), 41 ; and Francis Jenkins (suffocated), 18. Six others were also dangerously burnt, of whom three have since died, making six deaths. The whole distance to be traversed by the overman in inspecting the workings was about 470 yards, and it would take him about half an hour. The overman had special instructions given him not to allow the men to go to work until he reported all safe. The day before the accident he (William Woozley) was in the pit, and considered it quite safe for the men to work. Believed the colliery properly ventilated, consider ing its size. The safety lamps were not locked on the moment of the accident. He found some li tle gas in the pit on the Thursday evening, but did not consider it dangerous ; some of the men were work ing in the three-feet vein without the lamps being covered, but he did not find fault with them for so doing. William Thomas, upon being examined, said he had only acted as overman for two days before the accident. He went to the pit some what later than usual on the morning of the ac cident, and on the way he was met by Mr. Wooz ley, the manager, who told him to make haste, as he feared an accident. He went down the pit, and found that several men were then sitting at the bot tom of the shaft. He told them to sit where they were, and not to go to work until he retired from inspecting the works. He examined the three-feet vein first, and when there heard the " puff of fire" _ _ come from the six-feet vein. He admitted that it was his duty to see that all the lamps were locked before the men went to work. Had not locked any of the lamps that morning. He found some gas in some of the stalls when be examined the colliery in the morning. Believed the colliery sufficiently ven tilated. A door had been put at the bottom of the pit since the accident. Could not say whether that had improved the ventilation. John Evans, a col lier at work in the west heading at the time of the explosion, stated that he left his work about five o'clock on the evening previous to the explosion. There was gas in his heading when he left, but he kept it down by brushing it out with his waistcoat. The overman knew this very well. Some of the men went down the pit on the morning of the accident before the overman. W. Thomas, the overman, told witness not to go to work until after he came back; but two men, not hearing these orders, went to the six-feet vein before the return of the overman, and the explosion occurred immediately. He found gas in his stall on the morning of the explosion, and was obliged to brush the gas out with his jacket. The lamps were not locked. He had great difficulty in getting out, and was insensible when brought to the mouth of the pit. One man lost his way and was suffocated. Dr. Whitby described the nature of the injuries received ; after which the inquiry was ad journed for a week, in order to obtain the evidence of two workmen too severely injured to attend and give evidence. The inquiry creates considerable in terest in the district. The proceedings of Monday occupied six hours. CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. The Commission of Sewers of the city of London met yesterday, at Guildhall, for the despatch of business. The Principal Clerk laid before the Court a com munication he had received from Sir George Grey, acknowledging the receipt of the letter enclosing a copy of a communication received by the commis sion from the authorities of the Customs ou the subject of the importation of adulterated German yeast. A communication was also laid before the Court from the Commissioners of Customs upon the same subject. They stated that having been ad viEed that the law would not authorise the officers of the Revenue to interfere in the matter, and having communicated the facts to the Lords Com missioners of her Majesty's Treasury at the head of the Executive Government, the board regretted that they could not afford any further information, or take any further steps in the question. Upon the suggestion of Dr. ABRAHAM, it was decided by the Commission that the attention of the Lords of the Treasury should be called to the whole subject. THE GAS SUPPLY. Dr. LETHEBY presented a return of the gas sup plied to the City during the past week, from which it appeared that the average illuminating power of the City Company's gas had been equal to that of 13.78 sperm candles of standard quality, the Char tered to 13'03 candles, the Great Central to 13.'13 candles, and the Commercial to 1329, all of which averages were above the Act of Parliament stan dard. The proportion of sulphur in the gas ranged from 19.04 grains per 100 feet, to 27.07, the former being the proportion in the Great Central Gas, and the latter in the City ; and the daily pressure ranged from 10 to 22 tenths, the average of each company being about 12 tenths. It was decided that a copy of the report of the medical officer should be sent to the gas companies, and that they should be informed that the arrange ments made for testing the gas in the City are now complete, and that they were at liberty to witness the experiments made.

The SPEAKER. took the chair at a quarter past twelve. FOREIGN ENLISTMENT ACT. Mr. COBDEN moved an address for a copy of a me morial from certain shipowners of Liverpool to the Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs, suggesting an alteration in the Foreign Enlistment Act. The motion was agreed to. POISONED GRAIN, &c., PROTECTION BILL. Mr. PAULL rose to move the second reading of this bill. He showed that great injury had occurred to vegetation by the extermination of birds, while, in the districts where that destruction had taken place, insect life had greatly increased. He had no intention of interfering by this bill with the game laws, much less to make them more strin gent than they are. It was solely in the interest of farmers and agriculture that he asked the house to pass this bill, which would prevent the indiscriminate slaughter of birds not now protected by law. He pointed out the dangers arising from the use of poisoned wheat, strychnine being generally used, and sometime cosulus indicus and arsenic. He mentioned a case in which two poisoned rats were found inside a valuable sow, which had died suddenly from some apparently inexplicable cause. He should, how ever, move the committal of the bill, in order that the amendment might be printed. Mr. FORSTER seconded the motion. It was at one time s upposed that no poison could be used successfully except poisoned grain ; but he cited the opinion of a practical agri culturist to show that vitriol was equally adaptable and far more safe. lie deprecated the cruel practice of poisoning small birds with poisoned wheat. Scientific men had clearly demonstrated that small birds were indispensable in the economy of agriculture. On the grounds of public safety they ought to pass the bill, for poisoned game found its way to their table. He begged to suggest to his hon. friend that the penalty for using poisoned wheat should be in- creased to £2O. Mr. CAIRD supported the bill, and would be glad if could be made useful without being injurious to the agri cultural interest, which he apprehended could be accom plished in committee. It was a mistake to a uppose the small birds did, not do a great deal of injury to farms and gardens. Sir H. STRACEY also supported the bill, and read letters to show that in no case where small birds were exten sively poisoned, the vegetables were covered with that de structive insect the caterpillar, which had not previously been the case. Viscount GALWAY considered the bill indispensable. In passing through Eton the other day he was surprised to see for sale in a window of that academical village, " Doubly strong poisoned wheat—warranted to kill any thing." (Hear, and laughter.) Mr. MARSH supported this bill, saying that plenty of substitutes could be found bereft of danger. Mr. HENLEY said there was a great deal of truth in what had been said with respect to the destruction of small birds; but unless they were very careful they would pre vent sportsmen from shooting birds that came under that definition. As the bill stood it would not stand the test of legislative investigation, so that he should be glad to be afforded an opportunity of examining the amended bill promised. They would have a bill careful in defining what vermin consisted of. It was an ugly word. (Laugh ter.) Was a fox so definable ? He should like to know how the lawyers would describe him. (Hear and laughter.) Sir G. GREY said, undoubtedly it was a mischievous practice to expose poisoned wheat, as at the present time, but he feared the bill would be impracticable in its present shape, for he did not find that the proposed amendments would improve it. He should, however, support the second reading on this understanding that the hon. member would reprint this bill ; but he apprehended it would be more advisable for him to withdraw it and to in troduce an amended measure. Mr. SCLATER-BOOTH supported the bill. Sir J. SHELLEY said he was a farmer of thirty years' s tanding, and had tried e ver y s y stem of protecting his wheat from destruction by birds, and used wheat steeped in arsensio. Farmers were much to blame for not drilling their wheat deep enough. After a few words from Mr. DUTTON", the bill was read a second time, and the amended bill was ordered to be printed and circulated. CASUAL POOR (METROPOLIS) BILL. bill, Lord RAYNHAM moved the second reading of this . the object of which, he said, was to amend the pry!eatt and d with respect to the immediate relief of casual, u a!lr eo g► rape ' distressed poor in the metropolis.

So far back as 1839 the Poor-law Board issued a circular to the various parish authorities, advising them, on the score of humanity, to admit all casual poor without previous in quiry as to their settlement. He cited other steps taken in this direction by the Legislature, and the Poor-law Board. The act of 1844 provided for the erection of district asylums for casual poor, but that act, generally speaking, did not work well. It was the opinion of the late Sir G. Lewis, adduced before a committee of that house, the casual poor were not, to a vary large extent, much deserving of commiseration, and all the experience of the Poor-law Board sustained that opinion. He ob- jetted to the bill before the house, because it would entail great expense in the parishes, a nd that a general board, composed of representatives from all the parishes, would not act well. He questioned the propriety of compelling parishes by mandamus to carry out the behests of his bill ; also the propriety o f declaring, as pro posed by the bill, that every person was entitled to 24 hours lodging and food without inquiry. The noble lord would say that the parish would be entitled to 8 hours' work; but he feared that after a supper a nd a night's lodging they would rarely get the work, and if they sent the recal citrant inmate to gaol an additional cost Would be thrown upon the public. Sir S. NORTHCOTE said they had had investigations and committees enough, and now was the time for action. The noble lord had taken a comprehensive and t statesman like view of the subject; and advised the noble lord to withdraw this bill as the session was too advanced to pass it, and bring it forward next session, unless the Govern ment would pledge themselves to take the subject up early in the new year. Mr. KNIGHT joined in the recommendation of the hon. baronet. Lord RAYNHAM would withdraw the bill if the Poor law Board would give him a pledge that a somewhat simi lar measure would be introduced early next session. The order for the second reading was then discharged. DOMESTIC SERVANTS AND APPRENTICES PROTECTION BILL. Lord RAYNHAM moved the second reading of this bill. Sir G. GREY opposed the bill, though, like every one else, he gave the noble lord full credit for the benevolence of his motives. The bill gave power to parish authorities to inspect the food, washrooms, and sleeping apartments of parish apprentices- twice a year, which he feared would altogether prevent the employment of such young per sons. -- Lord RAYNHAM gave way to repeated cries of " With , draw." The order for the second reading was therefore dis charged. ANCHORS AND CHAIN CABLES BILL. Mr. LAIRD moved the second reading, of this bill, the object of which was to establish testing machines at the oahlreltys visit were under various t Trade, to p e periodically d iw p c guidance of the Board of the to var e ro select a competent engineer machines, and to report upon their. state. Lloyds owned su a c a t machine, and there were some in operation in various of the country. The cost of the machines would be more than compensated by the benefit that would accrue to small e even more than large, shipowners, and both classes were in favour .of this mea *on account of its cora sure. CMr. LAlNVDESAseyconepdpedestehdethmeotbioilni pulsory character. He, and every large shipowner, tested their anchors, because it was to their self-inter est to do so. He begged to p ro p ose that the bill be read a second time this day three months. Mr. HORSFALL supported the bill. Mr. M. GIBSON opposed the measure. It would drive chain -making into the hands of the large makers, and would thus work irreparable injury to the small manufacturers. The Board of Trade could not well fix a table of fees for the process of testing ; in fact, no one there knew anything about what would be a fair and proper charge. No ship would be allowed to leave a port without her chains being examined, which would be a long and costly process. The bill would cast a heavy additional charge on, the shipping interest, from which th lf t e ships otbillw foreieregn coun tries would be altogethe r exempt. he passed all the old chains and anchors would be condemned as old iron unless they were immediately tested, which would pro bably necessitate a long and costly journey. Sir J. PAKINGTON said two such great authorities on all that appertained to the mercantile marine as the hon. members for Birkenhead (Mr. Laird) and Sunderland (Mr. Lindsay) being at issue on this matter, the best thing that this house could do was to refer to the evidence adduced before the committee four yea rs ago, which most certainly tended to show that the new and rigid system of testing anchors should be set on foot. He thought it would be well for the house to affirm the principle of the bill, leav ing fur Navyr to another session. o ship of the Royal went to sea without undergoing proper tests. Mr. CRAWFORD hoped the house would not assent to the eecond reading, as owners of ships and the insurers were quite capable of looking after their own interests. Sir J. ELPUINSTONE said the bill proposed that testing apparatus should be erected at convenient places, and the cost of incoming vessels carrying the chains to and fro to be tested would not amount to more than 5 per cent. in their value. The recent death of the acrobat at Cre mona) testified that defective iron hooks were in common use.
