POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET OMNIBUS ROBBERIES —CAUTION TO LADIES.—Two sprightly-dressed women named Rion Jones and Mary Jervis, both of whom gave addresses at Lambeth, and both being in an advanced stage of pregnancy, were cbarged before Mr Knox with robbing M.'s ZA Amelia Bull, of 28, Duke-street, Manchester-square, of the sum of £2 10s. while in the omnibus. Mr Maynard, from Mr Board's office, attended to watch the case on behalf of the London General Omnibus Com o pang, and Mr Edward Lewis of Great Marlborough-street appeared for the prisoners, It appears that Mrs Bull had been in the Bank of Eng land to receive her dividends, and got into the omnibus in the City. The prisoners got in in Newgate-street, and directly after they left the omnibus at the London Crystal Palace, Oxford-street, Mrs Bull put her hand into her pocket and found her purse empty, £2 10s. having been abetracted from it. A gentleman who heard of Mrs. Bull's lose, being a passenger in the omnibus, afterwards saw the prisoners getting into another omnibus in Oxford .street, and he then caused them to be taken into custody by Itosekilly, 66 C, and on their being taken to Marlborough mews station and searched, only a trifle above £2. 10s., the amount Mrs Bull lost, was found upon them. Mr Lewis addressed the magistrate at some length on behalf of the prisoners, contending there was no proof they had taken Mrs Ball's money. Mr Knox committed the prisoners for trial, A second charge was then preferred against Jones by Martha Thompson, in service at the Lawn, Tulse-hill, Brixton, who lost £5 4s. from her purse wh le in an omni bus on its way trona Westminster-bridge to Regent's circus ; on another ocaasiou the purse, as in the former case, being left empty in her pocket, Mr Lewis again addressed the magistrate at some length on the prisoner's behalf, contending that there was no proof the prisoner committed the robbery, Mr Knox. committed the prisoner for trial, THAMES. A ROBBERY ON THE ROAD.—George Smith, a youth well known to the police, and connected with a desperate gang of thieves, was brought before Mr Paget charged with stealing Ms of tea, value 5s Bd, the property of Mr John Rose, grocer and tea dealer, of 143, Whitechapel-road. Last night at nine o'clock a Ist, names William Cooper, Was sent out with a truck containing parcels of grocery for his master's customers, and soon afterwards he was passing down the Mile-end-road, opposite the eagle Tavern, when he saw the p isoner take a parcel of tea out of the truck and run away with it. Cooper immediately pursued the thief, who dropped the parcel in the road. A police-constable, named George Palmer, No. 25 K, went in pursuit of the thief, and after a long chase, overtook him, and locked him up. William Pillow, a police constable, No. 274 K, stated that the prisoner was convicted under the Criminal Justice Act in that Court on the 10th of May last, for picking pockets, and sentenced to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner in defence said—l should not have done it if I had not been in want of food, I was going back to a place where I could have four years' character. Please to Settle it here, sir, - and give me as lenient a punishment as you can. Mr Paget—l shall not dispose of the case here. You are committed for trial. MONEY MARKET AND com=itclAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The condition of the Money Market remains firm. The rates charged for the negotiation of first class paper continues at 5a and 51 per cent, but the inquiry for accommodation has only been moderate. The bills held over till yesterday in expectation of a reduction in the official minimum, and the fort nightly settlement in foreign stocks, railway and other shares, have no doubt influenced the brokers to keep up their quotations for a day or two longer. There was a withdrawal of 40,000 sovereigns from the Bank yesterday for transmission to Alexandria. The shares of the Robertafors Iron Works Com pany (l►mited) were in demand early to• day at closing at la- prem. We understand that the capital stock of the company is being rapid!) , applied for. It wi:l be seen from another column that important and iotlaential additions have been made in the board of direction. The Bank of England return for the past week contains several important alterations, but they are not unfavourab:e when the present influences now at work are considered. Toe Government deposits have been lessened and the private balances in creased through the distribution of the dividends. The repayment of advances has:also diminished the stock of other securities; the bullion and reserve of notes also show decrease. Subjoined are the particulars Active Circulation ..

The cash has undergone a diminution of £386,650, the advances of £BO,OOO, and the current accounts of £712,000. The dis counts, however, show an augmentation of £200,000, the notes in circulation of 1820,000, and the Trea sury balances of £20,000. The directors of the Mercantile Credit Associa tion, as liquidators of the assets of the company before the amalgamation with the Imperia!, have just declared a dividend of 353, a share, or equal to 87-4 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital. The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit tance of £216 133 4d on account of the dividends on the debt of Ecuador. During the last few days there has been rather less animation in the markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce. Tea has remained dull, while lingua have declined about 6d. per cwt. Superior descriptions of coffee have met a fair demand at steady prices, but in rice, fruit, spices, saltpetre, and, tallow, the operations have been on a very mode. rate scale, without any material change as regards values. The Flintshire Oil and Cannel Company is a mew undertaking, introduced for the purpose of purchasing the works and property of the Mineral Oa Company, at Saitney (near Chester), and Lees wood, in Flintshire, and also of the Try ddyn Oil and Coke Company. The yield of etude mineral oil containing paraffin is said to be very large, and the new company, besides raising it, proposes to distil and refine it, thus uniting three different ope rations under one management. The capital re quired is £500,000 in b hares of £5O each, 6,000 of Which are to form the first issue. The directors of the London Financial Associa tion have issued their second half -yearly report, Which states that " After providing for the current expenses of the past half-year, writing off the whole of the meta for repairs, furniture, and fittings to the new offices, and carrying forward a rebate of interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, the direcbars are enabled to recommend the payment of . a divid en d at the rate o f 5 p er cent. With a bonus at the rate of 15 per cent. "perre„,. , lat num, free of i ncome tar; there will then o a balance of undivided profits of £21,408 18s sa t o bocarr a ie . d forward to the next half-year. Mr J. E, C . Koch having reigned the office of na64naer o f this association has been elected a mtanber of the board, which election requires the confirmation o f the h s areholders at the meeiing.

Yesterday, in consequence of certain infor mation, Inspector Tanner proceeded to the east-end of the town with the hat found in the railway carriage in the hope that it could be identified, but such, unfortunately, turned out not to be the case. The opinion that the person who changed the chain at the jeweller's shop in Cheapside was a foreigner is now disbelieved. Nothing would be easier than to assume such an (mount, and thereby lead from the scent. The statement that the hat is that of a foreigner is ridiculous, as it is one of the commonest and cheapest description of London manufacture, and is quite of the conven ttional English shape. The Naval Engagement off Jersey, The telegram published yesterday that an en gagement bad taken place between the famous Federal vessel the Keraage and the Confederate steamer Florida is totally without foundqtion. Telegrams this morning were received et Lloyds from Dover, stating that the Kersage was there, and had been for the last two days, at anchor off that port. That an engagement has taken place is not de nied, but that the Kersage was the vessel is quite untrue. It was probably the S laramen to or Niagara. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day, Market opened very strong, with upward tend ency. Sales probably 10,000 bales. The market has been very strong a'.l the week. Sold 112,710 bales, including 35,830 on speculation, and 23,860 for export; actual export, 23,932 bales. Quotations—Mildling Orleans, 311 ; Uplands, 31 ; Mobile, 311,; fair Egyptian, 30-1 31; Dhollerals, 23i; Surats, 111 27g. TILE REPORTER AND THE SAILORS,—During a trial trip of a new steamer from Liverpool last week the reporter of one of the local papers ascended to the " main trivia" in older to obtain a good view of the Great Eastern, which was passing dawn the channel at the time en route for Sheerness. Seeing the "gentleman of the Press" in this no vel position, several sailors ascended the rigging in the hope of "tying him up," an i n di gn i ty to which lan d smen are obliged to submit on ascending the rigging for the first time unless they choose to pay baelraheeEth. The reporter, ev wa s too sharp for his assailants, I . ol' seizing on some ow of er ' the ropes he managed to el u d e a l l his pursuers, h though one seized him for a few moments. After a most exciting chase —dangerous even for th e practised seaman at times—the nimble en d daring reporter managed to reach the deck in safety, amidst the cheers of the numerous com pany of " merchant priuc4' on board, who had anxiously witnessed his daring escapade, and who had promptly cftered to replace a hat which be lost whilst aloft.

The attendance this afternoon was even more limited thin yesterday, despite the brilliant weather, which might be supposed to have an influence in drawing people to Ain- tree. But a blight seems to have fallen on the July meeting b e iond the influences of weather to effect, and unless some h done we shall have to chro n icle a still greater deca dence.ing l3 06 ressor, a fine lookin g son o f Newminster, car ried t ~q 2 Stakes from on ly two opponents, and Hep of tike Plating lot against him in the han e off e r disposed the Cra dicap with great ease. There was a good race for the Molyneux Cup between Fantail and Windham, the mare lading the whole way until at the half distance she was headed by Windham, who had been lying off throughout, and who woti fit last cleverly by a neck. Fantail was a very warm favourite, while the winner was at 8 to 1, so this was a great turn up for the fielders. Universal satisfaction was expressed at the withdrawal by Admiral Rous and Lord Stamford of the charges made by them against Lord Bateman, arising out of the race for the County Stakes at Worcester. In justice to the Earl of Stamford, we hays authority for stating that he signed the first letter to Lord Bateman under an entire ignorance of the real facts of the case. The Craven Stakes of 10 sous each, 5 ft, with 100 soya added for 2-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 10ib ; fillies and geldings, Bst 61b. Winners extra, with maiden allowances. T.Y.C. 23 subs.

The favourite, with a slight lead of Stanton, made the running, closely followed by the The Clown and Wind ham, Moulsey, who was left considerably in their rear, at the start acting as whipper-in. With little or no material change they ran in these positions to the mile post where the leading horses were joined by Lord Bateman's colt — but in a stride or two after Windham was pulled bottom, where and went on in waiting t o halfway in the where Stanton compounded, when Cranshaw brought his horse to the front and followed Fantail into the dis tance, where he headed the latter and won a finely con tested race by a head ; the favourite heading The Clown by four lengths, a similar distance separating the third and fourth.

Dermot Asthore, in company with Sluggard and Cut away, made play to the turn, when the Sluggard ran out, leaving the race with the two, who were joined half way up by Alice Leigh. The three ran together to the enclosure, when the favourite came out and appeared to be winning to nothing, but was beat cleverly by a length, a like distance between second and third. After the race Clarkson, the rider of Cutaway, was sum maned to appear before the Earl of Stamford and Captain White, who acted for the stewards, the general impression being that the jockey had prevented Cutaway from win ning. Ultimately, Clarkson was suspended from riding again during the meeting, with an intimation that the case would be brought under the notice of the Jockey Club.

Sir,—Admiral Rous appears from his last letter to have m i sa pprehended the purport of my letter to him of the 3d inst. In that communication I never intended to convey to him a desire on the part of the Wercester Itace Committee that any public notice should be teken of the proceedings of Lord Bateman or others. 1 had not received any such ap plication from the committee, and the statements to which I referred in my letter as having received from them, and from the inhabitants of Worcester,were brought to MP by a friend, and were occasioned no doubt by a desire to exone rate the inhabitants of the locality from the charge of such misconduct. I thought it desirable to make Admiral Rolls acquainted with that fact,—l am, &c., July 14. COVENTRY. Royal Freemasons' Female School, Yesterday a quarterly general court of the Gover nors of the Royal Freemasons' School, St. John's hill, Battersea-rite, which was established for maintaining, clothing, and educating female chil dren, daughters of decayed Freemasons, was held at the offices of the institution, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, for the purpose of placing children on th© list for the election in October next, as also of declaring the number then to be elected, and on general business. The meeting was presided over by Mr, John Udall„one of the vice-presidents of the institution. The minutes of the previous general court and those of the intermediate committee meetings having been read and confirmed, The SECRE.TARY read a report from the General Committee to the effect that the number of children at present i❑ the school was 92, three of whom would leave in October next, when their term of residence there would expire, and which would reduce the number to 89. The number of unsuccess ful candidates left over from last election having been 14, which had been increased by seven addi tional applicants since, the committee recommeEded that 11 out of these 21 candidates should be elected in October next, which would increase the number of children in the school to 100. h was also stated that a contract had been entered into for the im provement of the play-room of the school, the con tract price being £l2l, and that the tradesmen's bills and salaries for the past quarter had amounted to £B3O 4s. 9d., while the subscriptions and dona tions received on the occasion of the anniversary dinner now amounted to £3,800. The report was cordially adopted, several brethren present expressing their satisfaction that the Mien ' cial position of the institution was such as to enable them to maintain, clothe, and educate so large a n et i aber as 100 female children.

FIRES IN TIIE ETROPOLIS,—EarIy yesterday morning the dwelling-house of Mr Butcher, Andover road, Hammersmith, was destroyed by fire, as web as its contents. The houses on each side were also injured.— Another fire broke out at Albert-road, Mile-end, and was not subdued without considerable difficulty, and after much damage had been done. THE CONVICTS AT PORTLAND.—On Tuesday an insurrection broke out among the convicts now undergoing their term of imprisonment in the Portland Convict establishment. It appears that on that day the Lew dietary system had boon introduced, and this seems to have greatly dissatisfied the convicts. Everthing, however, went on well until after the men h ed ad been ne marched back f r om dinner, when a gang employ in a sto quarry near the Clifton Hotel refused to work and attacked one of the civil guards. The impression among the convicts appeared to be that the guards would not make use et the short Enfield rifles with which they were armed, but this proved to be a mistaken idea. Several of the gang rushed upon the guard and attempted to knock him down with their pickaxes and shovels. The officer discharged his weapon and slightly wounded ono of the ringleaders. By this time he had received assistance irom his brothers, three or four of whom fired upon the men. Four or five of them were shot, receiving, however, only slight wounds. Ns measure had the effect of quelling the disturbance. Atter the riot had been quelled the party were marched back to the prison and confined in punishment cells. The military were called out, but their assistance was not required. 51 i 160 59k 711 2 120 19f 461 1 6 1174 8 984 65i 5 114 k 13i 1391 sesi 65 97 61 7i 79 SO h THE DANO-GERMAN WAR (From the Correspondent of the Horning Herald) EIBY, near ODENSE (Head-quarters of the Danish Army), July 10. Last night seems to have passed over tranquilly, although there was a strong feeling, I know not on what foundation, that the Germans had made up their minds to come across the water and pay us a visit, Let the Danes have another week of prepare. tion,and they may punish severely the enemy when he musters courage to make an effort. A 3 to the pre• parations on the other side, there is no doubt that they go upon a vast scale, and that not only bat teries are being erected in every spot, but boats and small vessels and every thing that fiaats are being collected in great cpantities. This we know gene rally. Any minute or very precise information the Danes seldom receive. Oce of the military neces shies of the occasion, and jade el of all warfare, most abhorrent to them, and to which they most unwil lingly bring themselves to assent, is a well-planned system of espionage. In fact they can scarcely get a native-born Dane to act in this capacity, no mat• ter how poor he may be or how largely he may be tempted by offer of remuneration ; and as to the employment of strangers of the mongrel Germans Danes, by doing so this simple people are more likely to be imposed on, and have their own secrets told to the enemy, than to gain any valuable in formation relative to his position and intentions While the Danes are in this comparative ignorance of the doings of the enemy, the Germans, I feel car tain, are informed of every circumstance desirable for them to know from the Danish side. The country is full of spies, and they are generated and encou raged by the very opposite feeling to that of the Danes, believing it to be a duty to their beloved Germany, and also by the mildness of Danish au thority, which never punishes any crime with seve rity. If a few spies, a few deserters—even a few men who sleep at their posts—were tried by field or drum-head courtmartial, and immediately shot, the position of the Danish army would be much improved, and we could lie down at night in some comfort and without fear of the consequences of treachery. Three or four days since a foreign officer employed in the mining department by the Danes, and whose services at Alen I believe to have been very valuable, at least in the moral effect produced on the Prussians, in company with an officer once distinguished in our English service, and who came here to offer his sword to Denmark, took a post carriage at Odense for transport to Middlefhart. As they were about to leave the hotel, and while I was bidding them adieu, a gen tleman came up and asked if he might be allowed to have a seat and share the posting expense, as he was anxious to get quickly to the same destination. The gentlemen courteously allowed him to accom pany them, and 1 saw him take his place on the back seat of the open carriage. He was a respec table looking man, of middle age, close cut grey hair, and of an honest and gentlemanly cast of countenance. Thinking he was going up to visit, probably, a eon of his serving in the war, and always feeling much sympathy with the poor fathers who so frequently come up to camp to say one or two words of affection to the beloved chil dren who may next day be involeed in all the dangers of the battle-field, I inquired at the post house, from some one who stood by and seemed to know him, who the gentleman was. He informed me that he was not a Dane, that he spoke German very fluently, and was, he believed, a merchant who had come several days before to Odense, and was making bargains, and endeavouring to effect large I arrangements with several mercantile men of the town and district. He added that he had made himself quite master of the different bearings of the Danish cause—a subject on which he continally spoke, and for which the strangers expressed the most ardent sympathy. So the matter ended; but Colonel— on returning to Odense, mentioned to me that this same respectable, grave-looking, nicely dressed, middle-aged gentleman, had scarcely reached Middlefhart, and made a cautious survey of the place, when he started for Asserts on the West Coast; but was tracked cut, on certain information given to the general, apprehended, and on his person were found ec,rtain notes taken by him and certain documents which completely established the first evidence of his being decidedly a Garman spy. In fact it is believed that a regular corps of these pry ing gentlemen have taken up their quarters in various parts of the island, and that this clever and plausible old gentleman was head of the depart ment. I expressed to an officer high in rank my opinion that as the district was under martial law, he should be at once tried, and my supposition that he would if found guilty be immediately hanged. I think I never saw a greater attire of horror than that which met—not my proposition, certainly, but my supposition that this hateful old scoundrel should be executed. My gallant friend said, "We shall prevent him from doing mischief, and he will probably be kept at Copenhagen till the end of the war." " And what then?" " Oh, then of course he will be let go home," This great mercy in a war for the safety of an invaded country be comes in reality a great cruelty, Out the Danish character is so adverse to anything which borders on an appearance of painful severity, that whatever the consequences no change can be expected. One thing is now being done which will possibly guard us here from a surprise such as that which gave the Prussians such easy possession of Alsen. A water patrol is being organised, and - from this night forward a chain of watch-boats will look upon the Funen Sound. If precaution of this na ture be not taken experience shows that even in the clearest nights low boats may approach to the very shore before they are seen. It is to be hoped that those who man the guard-boats miq not come un der the usual Danish soporific influence, and when the sea runs gently with hashing noise upon the shore, may not be soothed to sleep, and be thus captured by some more watchful German putting out from the Schleswig coast, as happened to some of the men of a regiment at Alsen the other day. They were found fast asleep by the Prus sians, who had to shake them by tho collar to awaken them. What can we hope for a people, who with all their noble and excellent qualities, are half-an-hour after time in every thing, and so very often fast asleep when they should be up and watchful ? The very best thing their friends can hope for them is an early peace on almost any terms. And if there be any chance of this the King aas certainly taken the only means of securing it. M.

BASTAGE AT THE EXHIBITION. —During One of the MCA crowded days we became entirely blocked up and stationary for upwards of ten minutes. Just in front of us stood a woman with a child in her arms of about two years old. who was leaning over mother's shoulder. The Duke began to play with the infant, pretending to touch its ear with his finger, and then to touch its nose. The mother was grati fied—the child was charmed. At last the crowd almost suddenly broke up, and we went on. After we had ad vanced about a dozen paces I said to the Duke of Welling tcn—" I must step back to speak to the m other of your young friend." I then asked her if she knew the gentle man who had been playing with her child for the last ten minutes. She said " No, sir." I told her it was the Duke of Wellington. Her surprise and delight were equa ll y great. I desired her to tell her boy when he grew up that when an infant the Duke of Wellington had played with him. / then returned and told the Duke the object of tny mission. His approbation was indi,:tatefi by a happy mile. —Babbage , s Autobiograph y Rylands. Iron Trade l e ' I E , 1 . u g ) ° _ :l T e quarterly meeting . of iron masters has T nAD E.—(From g.

On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr BAGWELL moved that the house should not resolve itself into such committee. Mr BARING said that if the house went into commit - tee he pledged himself on the part of Government to make such alterations as might be deemed desirable. The house then went into committee, and several clauses with verbal amendments, were agreed to. The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and the house re sumed, after which it adjourned. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.) 110PLEY V. HOPLEY. Mr Hopley resumed his defence this morning by reading extracts from different letters from his wife in the early part of 1862, which contained some very endearing expressions. She spoke of herself as his " little wifey," and requests him to preserve a " cheerful temper as a duty to God, who wished his creatures to be happy." He contended that it was impossible that such letters could be addressed to such a brutal husband as he was represented, and said that at the time he was stated to have been in the habit of cruelly ill-treating his wife he was delivering lectures on moral and social subjects at Brighton. The respondent resumed reading the letters, which were very tedious and lengthy, and the court had frequently to call him to order in conse quence of the irrelevant matter introduced into his address. He laid great stress on the fact that in 1862 she was using all her exertions to procure a remission of his sentence, as a proof that there was no foundation in the case against him. The witnesses called were not reliable, for one of them had been dismissed from his service ; the other, as he was credi bly informed, was the mother of two illegitimate children by a married man; and,the memory of a third could not be trusted. One of his pupils who had been examined said that he never witnessed any acts of ill-treatment on his part, or appearances of it on her person, all of which must have been perceived by every member of his household, from the nature of his domestic arrangements, and this witness spoke of him in the very highest terms. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) ; AIARKETS—This Day, MARK-LANE. A small supply of home grown wheat was on sale at Mark-lane to-day. The condition of the produce was good, and the bulk of the supply was disposed of at the rates cur rent on Monday last. The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat. Sales, generally speaking, progressed slowly, yet prices ruled stationary. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, at fall currencies. Barley, the supply of which was but moderate, ruled firm, at full quotations. Malt changed hands slowly, at late rates. The supply of oats on sale was large. Both for English and foreign qualities the trade was dull, and prices hal a downward tendency. . _ Beans and peas were firm, and prices were quite as high as on Monday. In fbur there was a moderate demand, at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flout.

The plant, however, is comparatively free from blight. The amount of business passing in our market is very moderate, and is chiefly confined to good and fine samples of last year's growth, which command previous quotations. In the value of other descriptions no change has taken place. COLONIAL. TEA—Business has been very inactive, and the few deal ings entered into have been at about previous rates. SUGAR—The market has remained dull, and a decline of 6d per cwt. may be quoted on West India descriptions. In the refined market prices have also tended downward. COFFEE—The demand for Colonial descriptions has been steady, and late prices have been well sustained. RlCE—Business has coat nued rather inactive, but with out any material change to note in prices, TALLOW—The market has been rather more active, although the dealings for both present and forward delivery still continue very restricted. P.Y.C., on the spot is quoted, 40s 3d, 40s 6d, and last three months' delivery, 43s 3d to 43s 6d per cwt.
