MONEY MARKET AND COMMXRCIAL INTELLIGENCE, Two O'CLOCK. ADVANCE IN THE RATE OF DISCOUNT. The Directors of the Bank of England have just advanced their rate of interest and discount from 6 to 7 per cent. " This important step was in a great measure anticipated, owing to the pressure upon resources of the establishment. A change being considered imminent, operators in the open market refused business at 6 per cent., and the extra terms required forced the mer cantile community upon the Bank; but, as the reserve of notes and gold in that establishment had been very much reduced, the authorities had no alternative but to carry their quotation 1 per cent. higher, It is not improbable that even greater disturbance will prevail, unless the outflow of the precious metals is brought within narrower limits. The several discount and banking establishments have advanced their rate of interest for deposits. The terms are —money at call, 5 per cent,; 7 days' notice• of withdrawal, 5} per cent.; and 14 days' notice, 6 per cent. There is a depressed market for the English Funds, owing to the unfavourable position of monetary affairs.

A farther withdrawal of £40,000 in gold was reported at the Bank on Saturday. The Arabia has arrived from New York with £l,OOO for England, and £8,768 for France. The first report of the directors of the Oil Seed Crushing Company has been issued prior to the meeting of shareholders. It states that the Dover Mills have been at full work since operations were commenced, and the net profits realised have amounted to about 10 per cent. A dividend is re commended at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum. The accounts from the manufacturing districts during the past week have generally been satisfac tory. At Manchester a moderate demand has been experienced for yarns for exportation; cloths, how ever, have remained inactive. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has continued seasonably active, while rather more animation has been exhibited in the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham. In the hardware dis tricts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhamp ton, there has been no material change; business generally, however, has been rather duller than usual at this season of the year.

'Business done THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 25, 1864. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. A fair demand prevailed both for red and white wheats in the country markets, held on Saturday. No change took place in prices, and, generally speaking, they were well supported. The spring corn trade was firm at very full prices. Flour moved off steadily at previous rates. The trade for wheat, flour, and maize at New York is firmer, owing, in some measure, to an increased demand for shipment to Great Britain. On the continent the corn trade generally is firm. The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market last week were seasonably good. The imports from abroad amounted to 13,427 quarters of wheat, 500 barley, 56,194 oats, 9,405 linseed, 4,518 oilseeds, 2,930 maize, 160 sacks and 5,641 barrels of flour. A moderate supply of home-grown wheat was received fresh up to our market to-day, for the most part in good condHon. Both for red and white qualities the trade ruled quiet. Factors, however, were firm in their demands, and although sales as a rule progressed slowly, the rates current on Monday last were steadily supported. There was a fair average supply of foreign wheat on the stands. The amount of business transacted was very moderate; nevertheless, prices ruled firm, and no alteration took place in them, compared with this day se'ennight. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at full currencies. The sup e ly of barley on sale was very small, and was mostly confined to grinding qualities, which changed ha n d s at fully the late advance in prices. Distilling parcels moved off at fully late rates. In malt about an average business was transacted, and prices ruled firm. With foreign oats the market was extensively supplied, and the show of home-grown parcels on the stands was large for the time of the year. The trade, however, was moderately active, and both in home-grown and foreign descriptions, a fair average business was transacted, at lull quotations. The supply of beans on sale was small. For all qualities the trade was firm, and the late advance in prices was fully maintained. Peas changed hands at quite previous rates, owing to the limited number of samples on offer. The flour trade was firm, at previous quotations. The supply of barrels on sale was very moderate. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEA.BUREI.

With each kind of foreign stock our market, to.day, was well supplied; nevertheless the demand for it ruled steady, and, in some instances, the quotations had an upward tendency. The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our own grazing districts, were tolerably extensive, and their general quality was good. From Ireland and Scotland, the receipts were limited. The demand for most breeds ruled steady, at an ad vance in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d. per Slbs. The general top figure for beef was 4s. 10d. ; but a few very superior Scots and crosses realised ss. per Sibs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,000 Scots, crosses, and short-horns; from Leicestershire, 2,000 short-horns ; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 63 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 30 oxen and heifers. With most breeds of sheep we were seasonably-well sup plied, but the quality of the leading descriptions was by no means first. rate, Prime Downs and half-bieds moved off freely at 2d. per Ms, more money. In the value of long woolled sheep very little change took place. The top quo tation was ss. 4d, per Blbs. Lambs—the supply of which was very moderate—sold Freely at from 6s. to 7s. per Sibs.

Owing to the unusually large quantity of wool in the market, as well as the fact that foreign buyers do not, as a rule, purchase extensively at this series, the biddings, generally speaking, have ruled somewhat in active; nevertheless, all descriptions of wool have fully supported the rates current at the close of May. It will be remembered that the operations of foreign, chiefly French buyers, last sales were very extensive, 50,000 bales having during their progress been disposed of for export purposes; consequently it is not anticipated that any consi derable quantity of wool will be taken this series for ship. ment either to the Continent or America.

SPORTING NOTES. The meetings of last week at Nottingham, Southampton, and Winchester, were attended with great success, in com parison wjth the Suspicious doings at Liverpool in the previous week. The Nottingham Meeting commenced with the Trial Stakes, as usual, which was set for half past one, so as to accommodate those journeying from North and South; but in consequence of the numerous " specials" running, they were scarcely enabled to reach the course in sufficient time to witness the result, which but few regretted, as but a trio out of the seven were induced to face The Clown, who, from the exhibition ho made of Miss Arm strong at Newcastle, giving her a year and a 71b beating, was made a rattling favourite at 2to 1. He landed without any difficulty by a neck. Contrary to expectation, a quar tette was found sufficiently confident to do battle with Cran bu-y, whose performance at Stockbri , ige, Worcester, and Liverpool at once stamped him a worthy successor to such fliers as Lady Clifden, Nutbush, and Miss Julia; but, curiously enough, the talent, overlooking his performance with liesper at Liverpool, made Dawdle, from a reputed trial, his equal in the betting.. Cranbury had every one in difficuties a quarter of a mile from home, and won in a can ter by three lengths. Tho fielders had a turn given them in the Brigade Handicap, Figaro, the selected of the talent, playing but an indifferent second to Lord Uxbridge's Tyke, who was friendless in the ring. For the Nottinghamshire Handicap but five out of 14 coloured on the card were in duced to try conclusions with the mysterious Sir Roger, whose advent and equally sudden disappearance from the Northumberland Plato quotations are yet fresh in the recollections Of those who " rushed in where angels fear to tread," and paid for their temerity. On this occasion, however, although his owner and trainer were not present, Sir Roger was reported to re present the stable interest. With many his appearance and style of action did not take, but, notwithstanding, he speedily assumed the premiership in the betting, but appa rently outpaced from the start, he never took any prominent part in the race, which was reduced to a match between Welcome and Pearl Diver for the last quarter of a mile, the former apparently having the best of it to within a few strides of the chair, when he cracked, which enabled Mr Brayley's colt to snatch the fiat of the judge by the shortest of heads, and by so doing saved his owner's anonymous correspondent any further trouble in carrying out his threats, The Shorts, with the assistance of Rosebud and Loates, was placed to the account of Mr Thompson, and 13 soya to the credit of the fund. Four met the starter for the County Members' Plate, Loafer being made the favourite, which he fully justified by disposing of his field without an effort. There was a good race at Winchester for the Citizen's Plate between North End (the favourite) and Durham, which the former landed cleverly, the weight telling on Lord Uxbridge's horse up the hill (and a tre mendous pull, by the way, that same hill is) and the weedy looking son of Autocrat finding his account in that same. Besides, 2st is something to give. Redcap made such strong play in the Hampshire Stakes that it looked at one time as if Aurelian could not catch him, but he ran out at the turn, and moreover got into difficulties coming up the hill, and the question of Aurelian's reaching him was unex pectedly dismissed by Maurice unhandsomely coming up and putting his pipe out as they reached the stand. There was a great "pot" of Young King's in the winner of this Rail way Plate, Bow Bell, about wham fabulous reports were rife as to his "trial," whatever that was—the said pot not, fortunately, "boiling over," and the only long faces being those of the unhappy people who failed to get " on" in the tremendous rush made by the cognoscenti. The Grange Park is always considered the bonne boucles of the meeting, and though only seven appeared for it on this occasion, which must be attributed to the dry weather and the "nurs ing" of those reserved for Goodwood, yet it brought the Missionary, Shrapnel!, and The Grappler among the number, and promised a race, though Lord Portsmouth's colt was looked upon as almost a certainty, despite a fear entertained by some, and in which, we believe, his noble owner shared, that he would prefer the distance a little longer. He is a large horse and wants extending, but his jockey managed him well and brought him away at once; ho was never headed, and won by two lengths before The Grappler. We spoke just now of the horse as still belonging to Lord Ports mouth, but though he ran in his colours it was his last appearance in that character, Mr Pardee having purchased him two or three weeks since, though Lord Portsmouth, we believe, had an interest in him until this race was run. So he scored his first win in the " white and black belt," and will, we fancy, prove a very good investment to his new owner. He goes into Joseph Dawson's stable. The Queen's Guineas only attracted Aurelian and Manrico, odds being laid on the former, who made all the running until about the middle of the hill, where Fordham brought out Manrico and won a fine race by a length. There were two days' excellent sport at Southampton on Wednesday and Thursday. The Trial Stakes was thought a good thing at first for The Dodo, as Brother to Isthmian has been named, but the betting rather veered round after Fordham had given him a canter.; He moved rather stiffly, and Knight Templar was installed favourite at evens ; he made all the running and won in a canter. The Cranbury Park brought out The Grappler, Lovelace, and Sydmonton among the six starters, the first and last being the only two backed. Sydmonton is a very neat-looking colt, but not apparently with the action suitable for a hill, for he could make noway against Capt. Christie's colt, who beat him easily, The Innkeepers' Plate saw an instance of a cutting down of a field by Attraction rarely equalled; she is always quick on her legs when in form, we know, and she got off at such tremendous pace that it was all over before they had gone 200 yards. She cantered in ten or a dozen lengths ahead of the string, who tailed off behind her in Indian file fashion almost ludicrous to behold. The Maiden Two-year-old Plate saw a great certainty in Birague upset by St. Vincent a small though strong-lookingyoung one, formerly belong. ing to George Fordham, who gave him away to Mr. Reid. He is by Musjid out of Emotion, and won his race in gallant style, Birague not getting near him ; Mr. Samuels claimed him for Harry Goater. The South 'Western Stakes witnessed an exhibition of plating form in the three starters,for two out of the five coloured bolted when the flag was lowered, the Parchment colt and Dareful ; and William Day's "pot," the Spasm colt, boiling over, the issue was left to Comet and Knight Templar, the former, with the best of the weights, winning rather easily. She was sold to Mr King for 100 guineas. A but indifferent lot of youngsters put in an appearance for the Nursery Handicap, May the only winner among them. Ada turned round when the flag fell, and was left at the post. Rosette and May were alone in it, and the former won easily ; she is under young Ducker's care, who has lately started as a trainer. On the second day the Hampshire Stakes produced no race,and Innellan walked over. Much disappointment was expressed at the walk over, and there were grumblings at no portion of the added money being given. 'We confess we think the conditions are rather stringent. " Ten to accept and four to start, or the public money will not be added," seems close shaving. The ac ceptance has been a bad one of late years, and on this occa sion there were but four. 'We think the committee would find it advantageous to relax a little this rather straight ened rule ; there would be a chance of a larger field. As it was, only Pelios and Innellan were on the ground, though Aunt Judy was expected; and Mr Brayloy declin ing to run his horse, Mr Wyndham and he divided the forfeits, and Innellan walked over. A new race got up yes terday fared no better. The Welter Handicap, for gentle men jockeys, furnished another of those disagreeable items of racing returns: so it will be seen that we have not much to tell, One class seemed not at all affected by the dull aspect of the racing. The many-headed cared not for walks over, small acceptances, and smaller field s , b u t en joyed their annual holiday and the delicious weather in a most unshackled manner. The Stand Plate brought out eight runners, of which Gamecock was the favourite, though Overstone and Deerfoot were backed for some money; but the last named get his head in front and kept it there, despite an effort from Gamecock at the distance ; Overstone "cut it" at the hill, and North End was a de cent third, In the Stewards' Plate Eugenie scored her maiden win without much difficulty against those opposed to her, though giving them all the weight. She is a racing like King Tom, and seems to like a hill. Fordham got all ho could out of Ada, but she failed to reach the winner, who had the race safe from the start. Goodwood races commence to-morrow, and will occupy nearly the whole of the week. The most important event on the first day is the Steward? Cup. It is seldom or ever the best horse wins this race, as there are generally so many false starts, and some horses getting away lengths in advance of the others, it is almost unsafe to hazard an opinion. However, those that strike me as the best in of the top weights are Lady Clifden, Argonaut, and Queen of Trumps; Saccharometer, Bertha, and Biondella from the middle weights; and Lucky Star, Balornock, and Madcap from the light weights; and if compelled to stand on two it would be SACCHLROMETER and BERTHA, who are both speedy animals, and the course will just suit them. Blair Athol will be indulged with a walk over for the Gratwick Stakes. The Ham Stakes of 100 sovs each will be won by Jack o' Lantern or Mr Merry's representative. Wednesday's racing will be of more than usual importance, as the Findon Stakes may bring out another Derby favourite. Mr Merry has three engaged, viz., Zambesi, Wild Charley, and Liddington, and whichever he pulls out will win, unless Plantagenet, who is reported a flyer, should prove successful. The betting on the Goodwood Stakes has been completely spoilt, in consequence of the light weight awarded to Thalestrie. The field will in all probability include the following : . Yrs st lb Limosina Catch-'em-Alive Bally Edmond 6 .. 8 3 .. Foram Stanton Guillaume le Taciturne 4 .. 7 12 Kitchener Blondin Canzonette Reserve Thalestris Welbeck .. 3 .. 6 3 .. Ward Ghillie Callum 3 .. 6 2 .. Cranshaw Fisherman's Daughter 3 .. 5 10 .. Carroll Claxton Limosina has too much weight, and will be " wanted" later on in the season; Catch-'em-alive is also too heavily weighted, and will make the running for Claxton, who came with a rush into the market on Satur;:;y, and was backed WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL ATTACK UPON A COFFEE-110T.ISE KEEPER.—A rough-looking fellow, who gave the name of Coraelius C. Shea, was charged with the most disgusting conduct at the shop of Mr Samuel Sheen, coffee-house keeper, High-row, Knightsbridge, and also with violently assaulting him with a heavy stick. :alr Sheen said that at 10 o'clock last night he was near his door, when the defendant came up and addressed com plainant's wife and a young woman who was with her in the shop. The remark he made was not of an abusive but of a wanton and disgusting character, and on complainant hearing it he went up to the defendant and quietly asked him how he could make such a blackguard of himself and so misconduct himself to a respectable woman, upon which the defendant rushed upon him and struck him a blow on the back with a thick stick and knocked him down. De• fendant then attempted to get away, but complainant seized him and held him fast. Some of the defendant's companions came up and endeavoured to rescue him, but complainant still retained his hold, although he had been much hurt, and a constable coming up he was given into his charge. Mr Selfe—Do you know anything of the defendant ? Mr he is a perfect stranger to me. Mr Sa been said to him by any body before he accosted your w i fe and the other female with the offensive and disgusting remark you have proved he made ? Sheen--No; e Had anything Mr Sheen—Not a word had been said to him. He came direct to the street door, and expressed himself as I have described. William Charles Pa u t on, potman at the Paxton's Head, said that he saw the def en d ant rush upon the complainant, and knock him down :s r e d c a assisting l in taking defe n dant into cu s tody. Defendant a : vc i i t s il dr a ie un t k h ,b k ck u s t ti te . was lie th tte party.

DEN AR K. --__: 7--"--• (From the Special Corrap9na'ent cf the When th e e ELSINOItE, July 21. nehsnt philosopher wished to soothe the sorrows of a Monarch fallen from his high estate, he assured him that at the close of ~i ts mortaleereer "ho would look back with the les.st regret cn the days on which he had not reigned," Perhaps the same consolation may be administered to dethroned nations as to discrovvned Kings. In that case, it may bo hoped that Denmark will resign herself without repining to the loss of that power and greatness th a t are f or e ver d e p art i ng from her. If we look b ac k t o t h e past, w h at page of European history can be read with greater interest than ' that relating to the fortunes of these Danish isles ? A mere branch of the Scandinavian family, the Danes either knew Low to associate the sister races to their own destinies, or fought them to such good purpose that the dweller on the minor bank of the Sound, up to the very latest days, secured in his hands the sovereignty ever its waters and the key to the Baltic. Coming into close contact with the Ger. man empire at its outset, and in the very zenith of its greatness, Denmark was not nnfrequently a match for Hens, during its endless political and religious con. all its forces, and by taking the lead of one of its fac tests, she exercised over it an influence altogether out of measure with her material strength. The time was when the Baltic was nothing but a Danish lake ; when the coasts of North Germany, of Russia, no less than those of France and England, together with vast inland provinces, acknowledged the supremacy of the Dane. Even after the forma. tion of the great European monarchies, and the tracing of the limits of modern nations, Denmark !coked upon the Manse cities as her tributaries, and she trespassed on the rights of Teutonic nationality from the Elbe to the Eider. Pride, however, will have a fall: and the Dannebrog must no w be struck to that very German on whose neck the Northman had trod so often, and in a quarrel for which that very Holstein territory supplied the first pretext. The race of the gallant Dane is run, the sceptre of the seas has long been wrested from the hands of his kings, and the ima penance of Denmark, even as a second or third rate power, is something that belongs to another era. Politically speaking, there is for Denmark, " be. neath the lowest depth a deeper still." The peace that she is now patching up with her German destroyers will strip her of the Duchies; it will leave her, if any fleet at all, an &rmaznent unfit henceforth to cope even with the naval establish ment of such a mere land-lubber as the Prussian. Such strength an she still possessed cn her na tive element, after the disasters of 1800 end 1807, will go to swell the importance of a people who were hitherto little more than the Arcadians of Europe. Whatever command the Cimbrian or Scanian peninsula exercised in the Northern Seas will be usurped by the colossal Powers on the ad joining mainland. Scandinavia will be ground to dust between the upper Muscovitic and the nether Teutonic millstones; and time alone will decide, after centuries of contests, whether the Baltic, ceasing to be a Danish, is to become a Russian or a German lake. The future may have days of peace and content., ment in store for Denmark, nevertheless. The hap. piness of a country does not necessarily depend on the extent of its naval sway, nor on the prestige of its armament, nor yet on the influence of its re. doubted diplomacy. Blessed is the nation whose annals are a blank! Withdrawal from competition may screen a State from all molestation. There is no reason why Denmark may not aspire to the humble yet respected position of a maritime Switzerland; why she may not attain her security by a compact of acknowledged neutrality. Death, be it remembered, is not for the Dane the result of organic disease or dissolving decrepitude. He is struck down in the pride of unbroken manhood. He writhes on the ground bleeding from mortal wounds, bat those wounds are all in the breast. There is no symptom of unmanly weakness in his last gasp. Indeed, it is the State alone that falls; the nation bears up indomitable. Travel wherever you list about these Danish pro vinces, and you will nowhere perceive the signs of national decline. You will see nowhere those social disorders which usher in the elements of diesclutioa and prepare the ground for the enslavement o: a people. No people in the world is less worn out or effete than the Dane. This is, without contradic tion, the wealthiest country on either hemi sphere; I say it advisedly, because wealth here gives rise to the most general well-being, it exer■ cises the least corrupting influence, and suffers least from contrast with that abject misery which, in other countries, is like the shade to its light. You find comfort and competence almost in the humblest dwelling; hardly any intolerable luxury in the proudest mansion. Talk of the frugality of the inhabitants of barren districts, or of the sobriety characteristic of the dwellers in southern climates ! I tell you there is no ccuntry in which God's gifts have been more amply bestowed or more equitably distributed, where they are more wisely used or more rarely abused, than in Denmark. Stripped of her glory as a naval Power, Denmark will still be one of the most thriving agricultural communities in the world. One can hardly wish to see more luxuriant crops than are new ripening throughout these territories. These islands, even with the somewhat backward husbendry they have yet at tained, with the not very dense population that live by it, may well dispense with any advantage accru ing to them from extensive commercial or industrial enterprise. Were they to set earnestly about the task of draining their :swamps and reclaiming their heaths, they might nearly double the amount of their agricultural produce. For the limited wants and rational enjoyments cf the present generation their means c:e mere than euffieient. Let them only dig for c, trea sure i n th e i r f at h er ' s orchard, and they will find that the wealth buried in the bosom of the earth will provide for twice as vast a mass oc their children yet unborn.
