• ?40N - fY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A quieter demand is reported in the Money market, and the rates exhibit a downward ten dency. About £50,000 in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week have generally been more satis factory. There Las been increased demand for both cloths and yarns at Manchester, owing to the late advices from the E is% In the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield there has been a rather active inquiry for both autumn and winter goods, and a more cheerful tone has prevailed in the hosiery and lace departments at Leicester and Nottingham. At Birmingham, Sheffi,ld, and Wol verhampton there has also been a decided improve ment in most departments. The first annual meeting of the Bank of Hin dustan was held to-day. The report stated that the directors intend to hold a meeting on the 31st of Dec., at which a complete statemert of tt e business of the bank would be laid before the proprietors in anticipation of the next annual meeting. The accounts received from India still show a marked improvement has taken place in the general business of the bank. Two o'CLocx. At Paris this morning, according to Mr.Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were firm at 68f. 70c., 68f, 65. Firm. At the half-yearly meeting to day of the Union Bank of Australia, Mr. Henry Buckle in the chair, the report of the directors, which was unanimously agreed to, stated that the operations of the bank at all its branches during the year were of a highly satisfactory character. The business of the establish. merit had required the gradual transfer to the colonies of a considerable portion of the funds Which had previously accumulated in London, This necessity arose chiefly from the extension of busi ness in Queensland and New Zealand, and in some degree also from the removal of deposits which the directors had not sought to retain by allowing high rates of interest, a policy they have uniformly opposed. The state ment of accounts showed a balance of net profit of £88,871 Bs. 11d. The directors, there fore, recommend to apply the sum of £BO,OOO as a dividend of 8 per cent. for the half-year, ..._ payable in London, free of income tax, on the 14th instant, and in the colonies with the addition cf income tax, as soon as the ' t h r ' inspector shall fix a ft er rece i pt o f a d v i ces . The chairman congratulated the proprietary on the satisfactory progress the bank bad made during the past year, a progress evidenced in a Profit of £20,000 more this than in the preceding twelvemonths. The bank bad been established 25 years, during which period its career had been one of uninterrupted success.

Fresh Complications as to the Rights of Neutrals. (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) Per the Parana. RIO DE : TANEIRO, rune 9. The proceedings of the Confederate cruisers Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, which recently visited the Brazilian ports of Fernando, Noronha, Pernambuco, and Bahia, have given rise to questions from which serious complications may not improbably result. On the 19th ult. the American Consul complained that sailors belonging to Federal vessels burnt by the Alabama and Florida, put ashore at Bahia, and placed in charge of the Brazilian authorities, under the protection of the American Consul, had been sub,equently taken on board the Confederates pri vateers, and now formed portion of their crews. Immediately upon receipt of this communication the President of the province of Bahia addressed letters to the commanders of the Confederate pre vateers, stating " this fact" was a flagrant breach of the neutrality imposed upon itself by the Go vernment of Brazil, that he protested warmly against such violation, and requested that the indi viduals in question might be given up. The Confederate cf&ers denied that any such occurrence had taken place, and their vessels were permitted to leave the port. Previously to this incident upon the 14th ult., the English ship Castor, loaded with coal, said to be bound for Shanghai, entered the port of Bahia ostensibly to repair damages. _ _ . Upon the 15th the American Consul informed the President of Bahia that the Castor bad on board several pieces of artillery and some 20 sailors in- • tended for t he Alabama or the Georgia. The President next day forwarded this complaint to the English Consul at Bahia, inviting him to accompany the Custom-house officers on board the Castor, to see whether the complaint had any foun dation. Meantime the Castor had commenced die charging a portion of her coal into the Confederate cruisers. Upon the 18th the English Consul returned the following reply : " The denunciation of the American Consul is devoid of foundation. The facts he has put forward are quite inexact; the opinion he expresses is en tirely illusive. The English Consul has been on board the Castor, has ascertained that she does not carry arms, that her crew consists only of the men upon the ship's books, and that the only real fact of those alleged is her delivery of coal, a proceed ing which it is the sole aim of the American Consul to prevent. The Consul is ready to be present at the visit proposed by the President. The captain of the Castor is perfectly willing to permit such visit, but the Consul in any case protests against every act assuming the character of the right of search or of requisition by the Consul of the United States. He (the English Consul) enter tains grave doubts of the American Consul's right, owing to the mere supply of coal, to raise any claim against an English ship belonging to a neu tral nation at anchor in the harbour of Bahia, a neutral port. The neutrality resulting from the independent exercise of its right by a State cannot obstruct commercial relations, and a belligerent Power is not entitled to demand their cessation, in a neutral port, between its opponent and the sub jects of a neutral nation. Toleration by the Presi dent of the province of the supply of coal by an English ship to the Confederate cruisers in this port cannot (without infringing common sense and international law) be considered a hostile act, con- Crary to the strict neutrality of Brazil." The proposed visit 3n board the Castor took place, accompanied by interrogation of the captain and crew. The result showed no proof whatever of the allegations, although it seemed pretty clear that the cargo of coal had no other original destination than the Confederate privateers. The captain of the Alabama, indeed, admitted the fact, plainly declaring that be had a perfect right to purchase coal in England, and to provide for its discharge taking place out of a neutral ship within a neutral port. Captain Semmes at the same time requested the President's authorisation to continue taking in his coal. The President replied that the coal must be put on shore and sent into the market, where Captain Semmes could buy as much as he pleased. He added that his instructions forbade him to allow the delivery of any kind of goods coming direct from another country where the sale had taken place abroad. The Atherican Consul, however, still insisting upon search for and delivery of the contraband of war, the English Consul, upon the 21st, opposed the application, repeating more forcibly his arguments - - - of the 18th. The President, therefore, upon the 22d, notified to the American Consul that his duty was confined to confiscating contraband whenever its existence was proved, but did not extend to mak ing investigations upon the subject. The American Consul, still persisting, again re ceived the same reply, the President declaring him self convinced that the e.lleged delivery of arms and munitions had not taken place. The consignees of the Castor, in concert with the British Consul, upon their parts offered to unload the ship entirely, provided the expenses were paid by Brazil. The President forwarded this offer to the American Consul, with a proposition that the latter should defray the costs. At this juncture the Federal steam frigate Mohi can put in at Bahia, and a report was immediately circulated that she intended to seize the Castor. The captain of the English vessel (while drunk, as is rumoured) attempted to leave the port without having complied with the forms required by the cus toms. He was brought to by the guns of the forts, put back, and went through the accustomed formali ties preparatory to setting sail anew. Before the Castor was outside the harbour, the Mohican got up steam, and went in pursuit. Perceiving himselt chased the captain of the Castor determined not to leave the port, but to place himself under the pro tection of Brazilian ships until the arrival of an English man of war. Thereupon the Mohican lett Bahia to look after the Confederate privateers; and, upo❑ the Ist inst., an American brig, coming from Rio Grande do Sol, reported having recently passed the Florida, with the Mohican in chase. The above tacts were all respecting the matter known at Rio upon the 9th. They have given rise to an exchange of notes between the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Minister of the Unites States. The latter is reported to have sent in an ultimatum, demanding, Ist, the dismissal from their posts of the Presidents of Bahia and Pernambuco ; 2d, payment by the Brazilian Government of the value of Federal snips captured or burnt in Brazilian ports or waters ; 3d, an indemnity. A rumour is current that the dispute has been settled, but in what manner has not transpired The report, in fact, must be taken with all reserve. Lent MARK LANE. Owing to the fineness of the weather the demand for English wheat in the country markets, held on Saturday, was in a most inactive state, and, in some instances, prices further declined to the extent of is per quarter. No material change took place in the value of spring corn, but the trade for all descriptions was very quiet. Flour moved slowly, at late rates. _ . We learn from New York that the flour trade continued dull, but there was an improved export inquiry for wheat and maize. On the continent the corn trade generally is flat. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 21,967 quarters of wheat, 5,061 barley, 24,612 oats, 4,821 beans, 1,339 peas, 4,260 tears, 2,774 linseed, 8,990 oilseed, 960 maiae, 4,630 sundry seeds, 1,299 sacks and 33,648 barrels of flour. _ . Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of Eng lish wheat were very small, but most samples came to hand in good dry condition. The attendance of buyers was very moderate, but owing to the favourable accounts from all parts of England respecting the crops, both red and white produce met a very inactive sale, and at the close of business a clearance was not effected, Compared with Monday last, no quotable change took place in prices; but the tendency was certainly in favour of buyers. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat: All descriptions moved off heavily, and where sales were pressed is per quarter less money was accepted by holders. Floating cargoes of wheat and other grain were in slow request, at barely stationary prices. With English barley the market was scantily supplied ; but there was a better show of foreign produce on the stands. The accounts respecting the crops being of a most satisfactory character, the trade was dull, at drooping cur rencies. Malt changed hands slowly, yet no quotable change took place in prices compared with Monday last. There was a moderately good supply of oats on offer. Good and fine parcels were in fair request at late rates ; otherwise the trade was dull, on former terms. Beans sold heavily, and in some instances prices de clined ls. per quarter. The market was fairly supplied for this time of the year. Foreign peas were in good supply. but the show of Eng lish qualities was small. All descriptions met a slow sale; nevertheless, the quotations were without material change from Monday last. Both English and foreign flour sold slowly at barely [ate rates.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The show of foreign beasts—the arrivals from Spain and Portugal having been large—was extensive, of sheep and calves moderate. Sales progressed slowly at barely late rates. From our grazing districts, as well as from Ireland and Scotland, the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were seasonably extensive, and in fair average condition. Moat breeds moved off slowly at a decline in tho quotations, com pared with Monday last of 2d per Blbs. The highest figure for the beat Scots and crosses was 5s per Sibs. The receipts from N rfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire, comprised 700 Scots, &c.; from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, 1,800 short-horns, &c.; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds, from Scotland, 100 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland; 180 oxen and heifers. There was a full average number of sheep in the pens in good condition. Prime downs and half. breds commanded a steady sale at full currencies—the top figure being 5s 2d per Sibs, otherwise the mutton trade was in a sluggish state at barely stationary prices. Lambs were in moderate supply and fair request at Thursday's quotations—viz., from 5s 4d to 6s 4d per 81bs. There were 500 Irish lambs on offer. Calves were very dull at barely late rates.

MARLBOROUGH-STREE r. APPREHENSION OF THE LATE CLERK TO THE EVERTON BOARD OF GUARDIANS ON TUE CHARGE OF EMBEZZLE MENT TO THE EXTENT OF £l,OOO. - James Smith, alias Charles Steward, late clerk to the Everton Board of Guar dians, was brought up by Sergeant James Thomson, of the detective police, Scotland-yard, on a warrant, signed by one of the Liverpool magistrates, charging him with embezzling the sum of £56165. belonging to the township of Everton, Sergeant Thomson stated that about 10 days ago the war rant for the apprehension of the prisoner was placed in the bands of the detective police by a Liverpool officer sent to town for the purpose, and from inquiries he (Sergeant Thomson) made he ascertained that the prisoner was a betting man, and well known at a sporting house in Soho. By means of stratagem he succeeded in learning that the prisoner was living at 32, Prescot-street, Whitechapel. He went there on Saturday last, and upon being told that the prisoner was out he waited his arrival. In the evening he again went to the house, knocked at the dom., and asked for the prisoner. The landlady assured him that the pri soner had not come home, but he (Sergeant Thomson) being unwilling to be thus put off, determined to search the house, and upon doing so found the prisoner secreted under a bed in the back attic. Mr. Tyrwhitt then remanded the prisoner to Liverpool. Sergeant Thomson then handcuffed his prisoner, prepa ratory to sending him to Liverpool. The prisoner, whose defalcations amount to upwards of £l,OOO, appears to be a determined and powerful fellow, and was on the point of leaving for the Continent the day he was captured. THAMES. THE SAILOR AND HIS GOLD.—Catherine Layton, a woman of the torn, of 17, Baker- street, Stepney, was brought up on remand before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing £7 in gold from the person of John Grey, a sea man dwelling in Rotherhithe-street. The prisoner, who is a most notorious thief, and is the landlady of a house of in Baker -street, met the sailor on the Thursday before the 20th of June last, and after he had treated her with grog and a supper, he accom - piinied her to house in Phillip-street, St. George's-in the- East. He had not ben with her many minutes before she suddenly left him and ran down stairs. The sailor followed her, and she called out to him, " I have not touched your money, your gold and vest are under the bed." He had taken off his vest, from which he took a sovereign when he first entered the house and gave the woman the piece of gold. In doing so he ex hibited the remainder of his money. When the prisoner told him his belt and gold were in the rcom he bad just li ft he foolishly returned to the house. He found his belt, but the gold was gone. He met the prisoner three days afterwards (June 20) and gave her into custody. The daughter of the prisoner, who is likely to be as infamous as her mother, offered to swear that her mother was at home at the brothel in Baker-street at the time the sailor declared that she was in his company, but Mr. Woolrych would not allow her to commit perjury in her mother's behalf, and he remanded her from time to time to give the police an opportunity of finding the sailor's money. Mr. Partridge asked if there was now any chance of re covering the sailor's gold; and on being answered in the negative, discharged the prisoner. THE DIVORCED WlFE.—Anna Shrubsole alias Mudd wa brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with committing a breach of the peace, and assaulting and threatening a young woman named Sarah Melina Sargeaut, No. 1, Hannibal road, Stepney. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, said the prisoner was the divorced wife of John Shrubsole, late proprie t o r a nd driver, of No. 1, Hannibal-road, and the co mplainant was his housekeeper. The Defendant (spitefully)—Housekeeper indeed—his mistress. Mr. Young said Shrubsole and his wife had been parted three years, and a decree vas/ for a divorce on the ground of adultery, on the part of the defendant, was signed three weeks ago, and she must now adopt her maiden name of Mudd. The Defendant—Shrubsole is my name• Mr. Young—l deny it is your name, you have forfited the name of Shrubsole. The Defendant—lt is only my dear children I want. Mr. Ycui4,—You are not entitled to them. The Defendant—l brought them into the world, Mr. Young said that the defendant had been in the prac tice of annoying the complainant, and had been committed for an assault for one month. All he required was that Anna Mudd— The Defendant—Shrubsole, if you please' Mr. Young—That Anna Mudd be required to find one surety to keep the peace. The complainant said she was engaged in EOM domestic duti.s in the bard of Mr. Shrubsole's house, when the de fendant suddenly made her appearance, se ized her by the dress, pulled the gath ers out, and abused her very much. She said she would lay wait for her, and Mr. Shrubsole's wo sons would do the same. The defendant said her sons had been turned out of doors by their father, and she would protect them. She knew nothing about the proceedings in the Divorce Court until the decree was served on her. If she was bad her husband was bad, for he once kept a black man's wile. She only went to her husband's house to see her children, and was told to leave the place. Mr. Partridge—You must not go to your husband's house. You have no longer any claim upon him. I call upon you to enter into reeognisances to keep the peace— yourself in 120. You are to keep the peace towards all her Majesty's subjects for 12 months. Mr. Young—l hope you will make her find a surety to keep the peace —one surety at least• Mr. Partridge —Not at present. Some allowance ought to be made for the woman's situation. Mr. Y , ung—l hope she will throw no more stones through Mr. Shrubs()lo's windows in the night time. WESTMINSTER. UNPROVOKED CHARGE OF ASSAULT ON A 801L — George Dillon, Edward Dillon, and Come O'Donohue were charged before Mr. Selfo with the following unpro voked assault : G. Burt, a lad in the employment of a greengrocer, said that between 11 and 12 o'clock on Saturday night he was in the King's-road. When he was going along the pavement he saw several persons in conversation. He WAS about going past them, upon which he was forced off the pavem , into the road among a quantity of mud, He was assisted up by a gentleman, upon which he was struck by Edward Dillon. He was much hurt and was covered with mud. Some constables came up and took the prisoners into custody. Two gentlemen, clerks in the War-office, stated that they ware in the King's-road about the time in question, when they heard an angry altercation between some persons. They were endeavouring to pass the prisoners, wishing to cause as little interruption as possible, when they were knocked down by the prisoner Dillon, who also kicked them violently wh'n on the ground. Mr, Selfe asked what charge there was against the pri soner O'Donohue ? _ _ yV The inspector said there was another witness who would give some evidence against him (o'llonehue), but he was not present. Mr. Selfe said that as there was no evidence against him he must be discharged. He could not pass over the con duct of the other prisoners, as he must endeavour to put a atop to the barbarous practice of kicking. He must fine them 20s each. He should inflict a fine of 10s each for the as sault on the boy, unless they would give him (the boy) some compensation. The prisoners gave the boy 10s, and paid the other tines, when they were discharged. AMERICAN MAILS.—The Royal Mail steamship Persia, Capt.

In the absence of the Bishop of Ox ford, who placed the motion on the paper the subject dropped. Gies officers had compelled:any persons to do 60, whe he would give instructions for the money to be remitted to The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that instead of solely to place a heavy tax on these people he had been instrumental in reducing the former impost. People selling goods of their own manufacture were to plead to take out a licence at a small cost. No complaint& of any hardship had reached him. If any cases of hardship had occurred he should feel glad to be made acquainted with tha particulars. BANDA AND KIRWEE PRIZE MONEY. Si r S. NORTHCOTE asked the Secretary to the Trea sury whether it was true that the opinion of the law officers had been taken on the subject of the Banda and Kirwee prize money, and that the opinion they had given was in f av our of the preferential claim of Sir George Whitlock's force ? Lord PALMERSTON replied that it was the opinion of the law officers of the Crown that no law or precedent existed to guide the distribution of the money. Therefore the mode in which it would be distributed rested entirely with the discretion of the Crown The Government had come to a decision on the matter,. and its nature would be announced in a few days. ALTERATION OF THE CIRCUITS. Mr. HADFIELD asked the Attorney-General whether he would introduce a bill fkr the alteration of the circuits before the next assizes commenced, or at what other time?

WOOD replied that the report had not yet been completed. FIRING Al BRITISH SHIPS BY FEDERAL CRUISERS. In reply to Mr. FITZGERALD, --- - Mr. LA YARD said that communication had been re reived at the Foreign Office tallying with the statement which had appeared in the newspapers, to the effect that a Federal cruiser had fired upon an unofending British ship at Nassau. A similar account had appeared in some of the American papers. It appeared that the captain of the vessel denied the statement. Mr. Seward had written to Lord Lyons, stating that he would make inquiry, and, if true, the fullest reparation would be made. (Hear, hear.) FORTIFICATIONS. In reply to LordPORTMAN, Earl DE GREY said no sums had been placed in the estimates for the purpose of proceeding with the fortifica tions in Somerset with a view to protect the British Chan nel. The land alone was bought; and in the event of his remaining in office he should see that the necessary steps were taken for carrying out the matter, which he considered of the highest importance. POLAND. Earl GREY gave notice that if the noble marquis (Clan ricarde) should not be in his place on Friday next to pro ceed with the motion relative to Poland, he begged to give notice that he should bring the subject before their lord ships that day week, as he thou4ht it was of the highest importance that the house should not separate without some further notice of the affairs of that country. Earl RUSSELL said he would on Friday, if he couli do so with public advantage, make a statement relative to Po land. If circumstances should prevent him doing so on that occasion, he would state when he hoped to be able to do so. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—This Evening.

The Government had entered into no arrangemement, and were, theretore, perfectly free to act according as the events, as they occurred, might seem expedient. [LEFT SITTING.] SPORTING NOTES. The Newmarket July Meeting commences to •morrow, and extends over four days. The July Stakes has 49 sub scribers, but from the amount of money invested on SCOT TISH CHIEF for the Derby, and his easy victory at Ascot, it would be a waste of time discussing the claims of the others who may take part in the race. His most dangerous opponent will be Baron Rothschild's Calista colt. Blue Mantle will win the Sweepstakes of 50 soya, Umpire the Match, Sea King the Midsummer Stakes, and King of Diamonds the Stamford Plate. The Chesterfield Stakes will depend so much upon the result of the July Stakes that I will reserve my opinion till it has been decided. A FRESH MAN.
