ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were Zatiker firm at 69f 45c. The Stock Exchange was shut to-day, in order to commemorate the Queen's birthday, by a resolution of the Committee. In the general money market there is a good demand for discount accommodation, and the lowest rate at which even first class three months bills can be negotiated is 4 per cent. This sustained inqairy is no doubt produced by the active revenue collec tions which are now in progress, and the disposition evinced by manufacturers to extend their operations. The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday comprised the influx of £lO,OOO in bar gold. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to 1;949,600, and the exports to L 464,200.

SUICIDE BY A BUTLER. — Yesterday Dr. Lan kester held an inquest on the body of William Richards, aged 30, butler to Valentine Knight. Esq., a Middlesex magistrate, who hung himself in his pantry, 3, Cornwall. terrace, Regent's -park. The deceased had only been a few months in Mr. Knight's service, and on that gentleman coming home on Monday night he sent him to bed. On the following morning, on the cook coming down, a piece of paper was hanging on the pantry door, with the following words, badly spelt : "You better get a policeman to cut me down as you will find me dead inside." A. police man was sent for. The door was locked, and the deceased was found hanging, and in one of his hands a 141 b weight. Several letters were found. In one he thanked Mr. Knight for his kindness, and enclosed £lO, part of which he wished to be given to the Christian Young Men's Society, and part to the poor at Brighton. It appears that some time ago he had committed a robbery at Brighton, and had three months' imprisonment, which circumstance had prayed on his mind. lie got into the service of a lady named Bigg, and afterwards went to Mr. Knight. In one of his letters he said smoking had been his ruin, but latterly he had not indulged in it. His brother said he was always eccentric. and committed the robbery to see how cleverly he could do it. He was of weak intellect. The coroner said he never recollected a person holding a heavy weight in his hand when he committed suicide. Verdict, " Temp rary in sanity." THE ARAB CAVALRY AT PARia.--L la t Th urs d ay the Emperor r ev i ewed, in the Bois de Boulogne, a detachment of Turcos, and tbe small troop of the Spahis or Arab cavalry lately arrived in Paris. The latter were to have performed a fantasia after the manner of their of two horsemen, one a Spahi and the other simply a looker-on, and in which both horse and man were wounded,created such confusion around the spot where the Emperor and Empress were standing that the review was cut short, and con , listed of little more than a simple defile. The rapidity and ease with which these Arab horsemen launch their fiery horses into full gallop, turn them suddenly round, and to a dead , was the ast on i shment and admiration of all come t on. They looked on. They are a fine, swarthy, but fierce -looking body of men, whom one could easy fancy swooping down on their re in their own wild country paase„, but who looked thoroug hlypy out of place and in strange contrast to everything around them in the trim and artificial avenues of the Champs Elysees, On Sunday they seemed greatly to enjoy the scene on the race course, and between the races amused themselves and the spectators by performing several evolu• tions, galloping up and down in a sort of amateur fantasia style ; their gaudy-coloured garments, flowing cloaks, and turbaned head being a striking contrast to the tight figures and jockey caps of the real actors in that day's sports-2 he Queen. ATTEMPTED MURDER IN MANCHESTER.—Yes terday morning a painful case came before the magistrates at the City police-court, Manchester. Harriet Fawcett, th e w if e o f Robert Fawcett, a saddler, living in Ashton Old-road, was charged with having attempted to warder her husband. Prosecutor stated that at 11 o'clock on the previous night he and his wife went to bed. She rose about half-past five, and he heard her making a noise in the kitchen. She came np afterwards into the room, and asked him if he was going to get up. He said " No." He dozed again, and he was awakened by a sensation of pricking in his neck. He saw his wife standing at the bedside with a knife in her hand, which she was thrusting into his throat. He seized her hand, and strugged to get posses sion of the knife. She got into the street during the Bt"ggle, away. Sh e was but ho eventually took the knife from her, an d overtaken by a police offi cer , 81 " 'lmi ran witness gave her into custody.

This was a judgment summons, and the defendant, an elderly man, asked for time to pay the debt.

Mr. Beard—Why, he has actually advertised during the present week, and my client has expended as much as 345. in following up this case. His Honour—l do not see how I can extend time to the defendant. Defendant—l cat pay the debt by i ns t a l ments. Mr. Beard—Bu fI am quite sure that his Honour will not consider this to be a case for such a course. I might use very strong language in this case. His Honour—l cannot grant any further time. 1 shall commit defendant for ten days, and allow the warrant to lie in the office for a week. Committed for ten days. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. THE POLICE AND THE MARKET GARDENERS.—A party of market gardeners, owners of the immense waggons which are to be seen in such numbers in Covent-garden market, were summoned at the instance of the police for obstructing the roadway. Inspector Brunbacomb said the defendants were sum moned for refusing to remove their vehicles when required by the police. They perfectly well knew that 9 o'clock was the hour for their departure, but yet they remained, and created great confusion. Mr. Lobjoy—The market•gardeners are the persons who have made Covent-garden what it is, and surely trey ought to be treated with a little consideration. It was not the wish of any to stop after the regular hour if the goods were Bold, but what is a person to do when that is not the case. The police interfere in many cases most unnecessarily, and instead of debating with the men in charge of the waggons if they were to represent the matter to the owners, who are always easily found, much of the difficulty would be avoided. One of the constables said the waggons did not clear off sometimes till after 11 o'clock, and there was no room for the carriages which arrived with persons to make purchases in the Grand-row. Mr. Lobjoy—How can it to be called a stoppage if there is 18 feet of opening between the waggons and the opposite kerb stone ? Mr. Corrie—lt appears to me that the police want to get the waggons out to let the carriages occupy the vacated ground, while their owners make their purchases. Mr. Lobjoy—Quite so, and the gardeners think they ought to have as much consideration as the rest. A grower would only be too glad to go away at nine o'clock if he had sold his goods. If the police were to act with a little more forbearance, the growers, I am sure, would do all in their power to assist to maintain order, but there must be mutual conciliation. A grower will go away as soon as ha can, but when unfortunately he has to remain a little longer than is allowed according to the present regu lation, he must be treated with some consideration. Mr. Corrie—Yes, there must be mutual conciliation. The police have a difficult duty to perform, and in doing it they must act as fairly as poesible. The market gardeners I am sure will assist them, and I shall dismiss the present summons. THAMES. A MARINE BURGLAR.—LUCKY ESCAPE.—David Do- Lovan, an Irish Cockney, about 23 years of age, and well known to the police, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing two Guernsey shirts, the property of Captain R. B. Evans, the master of the ship Petrel, in the West India Dock. The prisoner was seen on board the Petrel a few days since, and on being asked his business there he replied that he came to seek employment. He was told that he was not wanted, and ordered to leave the ship immediately. He seemingly did so, but managed in some manner to obtain admission to the captain's cabin, from which he was seen to emerge shortly afterwards and hasten on shore. Ho wa■ followed and brought back, and on being searched two " Guernseys," belonging to Captain Evans, and which were taken out of a box in the after cabin were found upon him. The property was identified by Captain Evans, who said his ship was to sail this very day (Saturday) for North America on the Gulf of Mexico, and that he must sail with her. Charles Mutton, a day watchman in the London Dock, said the prisoner was a regular marine burglar, and was suspected of committing other robberies on board ship in the course of the last few weeks. Whenever he saw him in the dock he turned him out. William Gaylor, a police-constable, No. 303 K, said the prisoner was convicted at the Westminster Sessions on the 19th December, 1860, and sentenced to 12 months' impri sonment and hard labour. The prisoner—l was innocent of that—as innocent as my cap. _ _ _ Gaylor—The prisoner has been convicted summarily three times since then. Mr. Woolrych said that under ordinary circumstances he should commit the prisoner for trial, but it would be a serious loss to the prosecutor if he compelled him to remain here and give evidence at the sessions. He should there fore again convict the prisoner summarily and sentence him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. The pri soner ought to be sentenced to a long term of penal servi tude. DISHONEST LIGHTERMEN.—STEALING WINE IN THAN SIT.—John Poole, a lighterman in the employ of Messrs. Middlemiss and Harwood, was brought before Mr. Wool rych, charged with stealing a bottle of sherry wine. Two lightermen, named John Wardell and Alfred Adams, were convicted on Thursday for stealing a gallon of port wine from a cask which they had broached. They were in the employ of Messrs. Whellock and Co., lightermen and barge owners, and had to convey 3.5 casks of wine, in a barge called the Faith, from the London to the St. Katherine dock. They forced a cask of port wine between the two docks, drunk about half a gallon of the wine, and were "gloriously intoxicated," and were bringing on shore a bladder containing half a gallon of port wine, when they were stopped by two Customhouse officers, named Brown and Riddle, and the half gallon of wine seized. There was a deficiency of four quarts of wine in the cask which had took be the p been spilled in the bilge. Mr. Woolrych " had no doubt the prisoner s h a d s t o l en t h e w i ne , an d fi ne d th em 20 s eac h f or t h e un lawful posession thereof." Those fines were paid by the foreman o ri f so t n h e e rs fi a rm way w . ho employed the prisoners, and he The case of Poole was somewhat like that of Wardell and Adams. The prisoner was entrusted with the navigation of a boat containing 120 cases, 2 hogsheads, and a butt of wine, to convey from the London Dock to a ship lying near one of the wharves at Horsleydown. The barge was dis covered in a part of the river a mile from the place where she ought to have been. The prisoner was on board fast asleep, and a bottle of sherry wine close to his head. One of the cases on board was found to have been displaced and broken open. It ought to have contained 12 bottles of sherry wine. There was a deficiency of one bottle of wine. The prisoner appeared to have been drinking heavily, but whether he had indulged in another bottle of sherry taken from another case could not be ascertained. The prisoner, in defence, said he laid down and fell asleep from fatigue, and that while he was asleep some one must have boarded the barge and broke open the case. Mr. Woolrych—You had charge of the barge and the wines, and I can come to no other conclusion than this, that you stole the bottle of wine. I fine you 20s. for the unlawful possession of the wine, and, in default, 10 days' imprisonment, WESTMINSTER. PAROCHIAL TERRORS. —EXTRAORDINARY APPLICA• TI ON.--."

Unless the truth be spread before the country, before long the brave army of the Mississippi will be destroyed, and the world will stare to think that it has been cruelly, shamefully murdered by our own neglect. You must know that we have much sickness —too much. The warm, moist, murky atmosphere, the muddy ground, the worse quarters on board steamboats, the hard fare, and the swollen river are of themselves suf ficient to produce numerous disect: es ; but these unfavour able conditions are rendered worse by the wretched in efficiency of the surgeons, the actual cruelty of their :assist • ants, and in a great measure by the want of suitable food for the men. The number of sick now here cannot be esti mated readily, as they are so scattered. One-sixth of the army is on the sick list, The admissions to hospitals are 300 a day. They were greater, but now give signs of de creasing. From 30 to 50 a day have died within the last month. That rate, of course, could not be long endured without destroying the entire army. The cruelty of our hospitals (so called) transcends any torture ever devised for criminals. The principal hospital for the camp, before the arrival of the new hospital boats from above, was a collec tion of negro quarters; situated at the upper edge of the camp on a small bayou known as Ballard's Huts. There are about 40 of them, and in these huts were confined about 400 patients, all huddled together in a noxious, dark, noisome, filthy atmosphere—the dead, the dying, and the invalid in one common lot. There is literally nothing anywhere to be seen which gives an idea of a hospital, unless it be a row of newly-made graves not far distant. The 'nurses' as they are called, by a stretch of language, consist of about 70 men detailed for that purpose from various regiments. They are without system, without medicine, and seemingly without hope or in'erest in their work. Perhaps this is not entirely due to a want of heart, but to the apathy and general reck lessness of the place, the very bad example of the surgeons, who go off and remain away as if indifferent to the welfare of their patients, if, indeed, they had not as soon have them dead as be troubled with them living. These are weighty words, but we speak with due caution. In these same huts a poor man was found, who had been lying on the hard floor with nothing under him but half of his coarse blanket for three weeks. During this time the surgeon had been treating him for typhus fever, but the stranger dis covered that the man's back and spine were in a state of gangrene mortification, unknown to the surgeon. Pass ing through the wards one day, a lady overheard this con versation between a surgeon and his assistant, A poor patient in great pain was groaning very loudly and conti nuously, when the latter called out at a distance, ' Say, can't you stop that noise ?' The former, sotto voce, put in, If he does not stop it soon fix him.' Next morning the man was dead, although the nature of his wound did not presage such a fate. The impression lett on my mind was that which will occur to the reader, un natural as it may sound. Let us hope that it is an erro neous one, though there are facts leading to the dark, dole ful belief that there are men so debased, so fiendish, as to send the soul of a patient to its eternal home rather than be annoyed over their cups by the cries from his pain -racked body. We have no need to allude to the coarse, brutal, profane, and offensive language used by some of the sur geons, but kicks are sometimes dealt to the sick. The nurses take example from them. The neglect is infectious, until at last all concern for the sick comes to be looked on in the light of an unmanly and obsolete proceeding. We are asked who is responsible for these things ? It is difficult to put a finger on any one responsible for all, for each in turn points to his neighbour as the culprit, or to the regulations, until we have come to consider the latter as the cunningest de vice for slaughter and torture ever conceived. The massacre of lives, of hearts, of hopes, the consequent sacrifice of valuable soldiers and military advantage is enormous. If possible, it is more damaging to the cause than the blun derings of Generals, for it is their greatest, though most unnoticed blunder. It is a severe battle when 1,000 men are needlessly killed, but here is a steady drain of thou sand, half of whom might be saved. Incredible as it may seem, it is here a proverb that "It is easier to have a grave dug than to be troubled with writing de scriptive rolls and discharges.' There is a discharge, an honourable but mournful discharge, which comes to them too soon. But discharges on earth the men cannot get when disabled, When this is procured, there is transportation, then rations, then various papers from one commander to another. The labour of getting them is a task for a sound man. How must it be for a tottering, sinking, helpless invalid ? Many a man's heart has broken in the attempt. Many another, after spending days of pain and moments of insult, finds there is some trifling informality, and it is all to go over again. God help these nameless martyrs I" SHIPPING—This Day.

The theft was fully proved as having taken place on the evening of the 24th ult. at the Stepney railway station.—Police-constable Dunaway said that in 1843, when the prisoner was only nine years of age, he was convicted of stealing a purse and money from a lady. His father was convicted at the same time of feloniously receiving the property, knowing it to have been stolen. The boy had been in custody before, and he was sentenced to six months' hard labour. His father was sentenced to seven years' transportaion, and died shortly afterwards in prison. In 1853 the prisoner was tried for stealing from the person, and sentenced to three years' penal servitude. On that occasion 16 previous convictions for felony were proved against him. In 1858 he was again con victed of stealing from the person, and sentenced to five years' penal servitude, He was liberated with a ticket of leave in the early part of 1862. A few weeks afterwards the prisoner was summarily convicted at the Mansion House, and sentenced to six months' hard labour, for stealing a watch, On the expiration of that sentence he was arrested by order of the Home Secretary, and sent back to the Millbank Penitentiary to complete his five years' penal servitude. He was liberated on the 9th of last month. He had been living since his liberation from the Millbank Prison in a tieves's colony in Bethnal Green. A letter from an old thief was found on the prisoner. It commence by expeessing the regreet of the writer that his brother Andy had got another three months' hard labour, that two of his friends had bean ta ken to Ikrewgate, and that they ran the risk of having 10 years' penal servi tude, if net more. The writer added, " I have not been up the lane (Petticoat Lane) with any swag ( s t o l e n property) wonderfully, for two weeks, but for all that I am pr ing and I expect Poll and Bob w ill be a°bgrlee,st,soocut with g ßesides the m 17 e and graft (pick pockets) i n a few days. convictions mentioned by Dunaway, the prisoner had been convicted on four or five other occasions. He was com mitted for trial. A sitting of the French International Telegraphi c Commission was he ld yesterday at the Ministry of For e i gn Affairs, M. Drouyn de Lhuys presiding.

THE HEREFORD OLD BANK. The Ross creditors of the Old Bank, Hereford, and the Ross and Archerfield Bank Ross, which suspended payment on the 13th ult., met yesterday to receive a report; Mr. Luckes, the manager of the Ross branch of the Gloucestershire Banking Company, presided; and a statement was submitted by Mr. Turquand, of the firm of Coleman, Tur quand, Yourge, and Co., of London, showing liabili ties amounting to £146,822, and nominal assets for £119,795. Mr. Turquand, however, explained that, although a dividend of about 163. in the pound was thus apparent, the creditors must not assume that such a dividend will be realised, having regard to the heavy amount of debts which are taken as good, the result of the collection of which it is impossible to foretell ; and also to the very large amount of property to be disposed of, He had carefully consi dered the matter, and entertained very little doubt that, under judicious management, the estate ought not to realise less than 12s. or 13s. in the pound, with a possibility of something beyond that amount. The profits of the bank from Oct., 1854, amounted to £20,800, of which one moiety, or £10,300, has been carried to a guarantee fund, and the remaining moiety equally to the accounts of the two partners. The deficiency of the bank amounts to £39,000, about £30,000 of which has been occasioned by the defalcations of a clerk in the Hereford branch, which, it appears, must have continued for a consi derable number of years, commencing as far back as 1851, but which were not discovered until Feb ruary, 1862. The remaining £9,000 is the amount of loss by bad and doubtful debts in excess of the reserve fund of £10,400. For the protection of the estate, it was considered necessary to file a petition in bankruptcy, but, after a full discussion, it was unanimously resolved that the proceedings in bank ruptcy should not be continued beyond the choice of assignees, and that the necessary formal steps should be taken at the approaching meeting to be held in the Bankruptcy Court at Birmingham, to carry out the views now arrived at. A resolution was also passed recommending that a first dividend, of an amount as large as the realization of the assests will permit, should be paid to the creditors as early as possible. The meeting of the Hereford creditors will be held at Hereford to-morrow. LONDON GAZETTE—Yesterday.

The Civil Tribunal of the Seine yesterday gave judgment in an action brought by the heirs of Pierre Loustaunau, formerly generalissimo of the armies of the Mahrattas in the East Indies, against the re presentatives of M. Lepine, jeweller to Napoleon 1., to recover the sum of 600,000 f., the value of a ruby which General Loustaunau had intrusted for sale to M. Lepine. The plaintiffs also demanded damages to the amount of 200,000 f. In opening the case, the counsel for the plaintiffs gave a long account of the adventures of Pierre Loustaunau, who was a native of a village at the foot of the Pyrenees, which he leftwhenq c u a it u e sed a by y the oung American maninl War777,d of hde i during the excitement _ p i n Am e nd e L e c r e i c , a. Not being able, however, with the intention o fseekinghitso find a fortune vessel for that destination, he took his passage to the East Indies, on board a ship carrying au envoy from the King of France, charged to conclude, with an East Indian potentate, an offensive and &Leen sive a lli a nce against the English, snd landed at a port in the Mahratta territory, not far from Bom bay. The Emperor of the Mahrattas had just been assassinated, and two princes disputed the throne, one of whom was supported by the French and the other by the English. Loustaunau immediately determined to join the former, and obtained a let ter of rE commendation from the French envoy. His offered services were declined on account of his youth. He then determined to serve as a volun teer, and in the course of the war he distinguished himself so much as to be intrusted with the com mand of a detachment, at the head of which he gained an advantage over the English, for which the Prince rewarded him with a horse richly capa risoned and a sum of 5,000 rupees. He afterwards obtained a high command, and greatly contributed to the successful issue of an important battle, during which he lost his left hand. He had a silver hand made to replace it, and the very first time he ap peared at the head of his troops with this new hand, an Indian priest, falling on his knees before him, declared that the will of fate was accomplished, for that an ancient prophecy had declared that the AFthratta Empire would attain the highest degree of power when its armies should be commanded by a stranger from the far west with an invincible silver hand. From that time Loustaunau was re garded as the first subject in the empire, and became generalissimo. He held that high post for 18 years, during which he amassed immense riches. The love of his native land, however, was still strong within him, and he resolved to return home. He accord ingly transmitted his fortune, amounting to about 8,000,000 f., to France through a merchant of Chan dernagoe, and soon after took his departure receiv ing as a farewell gift from the prince the very ruby for the recovery of which these proceedings were in stituted. On leaving India his good fortune aban doned bim, for, after narrowly escaping shipwreck, he arrived in France to find that his eight millions, which had been converted into assignats, were then worth only 220,000 f. With this remnant he bought some ironworks near the Spanish frontier, but his establishment was destroyed, in 1808, by Spanish guerillas. He then came to Paris to s e ll hi s gem s, and intrusted the ruby in question to 31. Lepine. On his return to the Pyrenees, he was captured by some Spanish partisans and detained for a long time a prisoner in a small island of the Mediterranean, from which he at last escaped by swimming to a passing vessel bound for the Levant. He landed in Syria, and there became insane, and was kindly treated by a wealthy merchant. He soon recovered his senses, but when he related his history, all who heard it thought him as mad as ever. He wrote to France, however, and was soon joined by his son, and both of them were intro duced to Lady Esther Stanhope, who, being ad dieted to astrology, took a liking to them, because she thought there was some mysterious connection between her star and Loustaunau's. The young man died two years before Lady Stanhope, and at her death General Loustaunau was received into a French charitable establishment, where heremained till his decease. His representatives are now in the depth of poverty, and reclaim the deposit made by their ancestor. The counsel for the defendants admitted that the ruby had been intrusted to Lepine, but declared that when estimated by competent judges it was found to be worth only 6,000 f., at which price it had been purchased as a present for the Empress Josephine, and the proceeds had been paid either to Loustaunau himself or his creditors. Even had it not been so, the plaintiffs' claim could net be maintained, as it was barred by the statute of limitations. The tribunal took this view of the case and rejected the plaintiffs' demand.—Galig. nani's Messenger. A MISER'S CAREER. The extraordinary circumstances connected with the death of an old miser named Crepin, which took place on the 11th August, 1858, in Lyons, are still undoubtedly fresh in the recoliec tion of many of our readers. Crepin was an old bonhomme, from whom nobody would have with held a penny in the streets if he had asked for it, and who, if it had been offered, would certainly not have refused it. Having retired from business with about 100,000 f., which he had accumulated in the space of a few years, thanks to lucky and certain speculations of every description, he raised that sum to a fortune con siderably exceeding a million. But the great source of his riches was his sordid avarice, which even in duced him to tear down bills posted up on the streets in order to write his receipts upon the back, in stead of making use of stamps, as the law exacts ; and yet these receipts represented the rent of seve ral houses which brought him in a decent income. Dressed in a coat which a superb burnish of grease and dirt rendered proof against all weathers, and his head sheltered from sun and rain by a hat that outlived the storm of the first revolution, one would have taken him for a fugitive pauper. But every one residing in his quarter knew that he was the millionaire Crepin, possessing superb mansions in the best quarters of Lyons, the rent of which he made his tenants pay nine months in advance, while all were expelled—the clause was inserted in the agreement in every:case—who required any repairs to be done. But the deity who caused the destruc tion of Troy also caused that of pere Crepin; not that the wronged and artful deity ever succeeded in loosening his purse•strings, but he gifted a cun ning woman with charms sufficient to induce Crepin lonipncortkoe e ftnh e ot d ihwn e d it. Since the to live with her and her husband, and that woman resveeendtuhaellry finger managed that Si: completely to m made e in h d er him is heiress.

Dumollard case the public has not been so impressed by any judicial drama, and it is the tribunal of Lyons which has the honour of finally condemning the guilty trio, namely, the man Fevre and his wife—(the inheri tors of Old Cre ' pin s great fortune)—the woman to 12 years', and the h usband—a very old man—to fi ve years' hard labour, and the accomplice, Claude Chozel, also to 12 years, After the trial the pro perty was of course sequestered. But on the day the verdict was given the heirs of Crepin com menced proceedings in the civil court to have the will revoked, and M. Pollaky is now conducting the inquiries on their behalf as next of kin of old Crepin in England with a view to support these proceedings in the Justice Civile (Common Picas) which is about to give its decision on the affair of old Crepin, by application en declaration dindignite made by the legitimate heirs of the late Mr. Crepin against the convict Favre, eccording to the provisions of th e article 727 of the rode Napoleon, at the First Chamber of the Tribunal Civile of Lyons. AMERICAN IRON-MIDS.—In tha engagement at Charleston three types of iron -clads were repre sented—the llionitors, with their laminated armour; the Keokuk, with her sandwich armour of iron and wood; and the high-sided Ironsides, with her solid plate.
