IYION-tY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Although the available supplies of money are ample for all immediate demands, bankers and brokers still enforce full terms, while by a conces sion of or per cent, they could divert a large amount of business which is now taken to the Bank of England. Th e Bank of England return, completed to Wed nesday la s t, s h ows some important features. The 1 ()an and dicJunt operations have been largely augmented by the increased demand RA. accommo • dation not only upon commercial bills, but also upon Government Securities, the authorities now making their usual quarterly advances. The addi tion to the bullion is small when compared with the quantities recently sent in ; 'but the accummu lation is nevertheless making steady progress, and will ultimately contribute to a decline in the luininautti quotation.

A further sum of £32,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has been rather dull ; higher prices, however, have been realised for the new season's crop of tea, while sugar, coffee, rice, and fruit have barely sustained former quota tions. In saltpetre there has been a moderate business negotiated , while the tallow market has continued very dull, and prices have shown less firmness for both present and forward delivery. Two O'CLOCK.

LAW IN TELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) RE W. P. SMITH. This bankrupt was a tailor, formerly of Woodhouse•place, Stepney. He now applied for his release from custody. The debts were £22l—no assets. When the bankrupt ap plied to pass his examination, Mr. Commissioner Goulburn suspended the order of discharge for 6 months, giving pro tection for three months. The protection expired a short time since, and Mr. T. Beard, acting on behalf of a creditor, had arrested the bankrupt on a ca sa. Mr. Beard now opposed the bankrupt's release. His Honour said he should not interfere with any order made by Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, and refused to grant the release. RE HUNTER AND FERRIS.---11EVVY FAILURE, _ _ This was an adjourned exaamination meeting of these bankrupts, who were alkali manufacturers in Mark-lane The debts are about £15,000. Mr. Linklater now applied that the bankruptcy should be annulled by the consent of creditors, £5,000 assets having been received, to pay 7s. in the pound to the creditors ; and both bankrupts had entered into an undertaking to pay the separate creditors 7s. 6d. in the pound. His Honour deemed this a satisfactory arrangement, and the proceedings in bankruptcy were therefore annulled. IN RE JONES This bankrupt was a grocer, at Brompton, and this was a dividend meeting. The debts amount to £1,201, and through the exertions of Mr. Sidney Chidley assets have been realized by which the creditors will be paid a dividend of 2s. 6d. in the pound.

Overture was first off, but was immediately deprived of the lead by Lufra, followed by Redcap, Overture going on third, and the Cutler (who got the worst of the start) brought up the rear. After going a quarter of a mile The Cutler rushed through his horses and took up the running, but was subsequently headed by Redcap, who held tha front position into the straight, where she resigned the lead to Lufra, who was attended by Overture. The latter joined issue within the distance, and immediately Maid meat raised his whip to Lufra, she swerved across the course and gave Overture a long lead, which Lufra subse quently considerably reduced, but could never get up, and was beaten half a length; three lengths between second and third; Cutler beaten off.

Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held at its house, John-street, Adelphi, Sir Ed ward Per rott, Bart., V.P., in the chair. There were also present—Admiral Sir George Sartorius,Mr. W.. 11.

GOING TO SEE THE FIGHT. —Two men named Flannagan and Moore, were placed at the bar, charged with having a quantity of stolen property in their possession. Police-constable 142 F, said—About half past five on the morning of the Ist of September he was on duty in George street, St. Giles, when he saw the two prisoners fighting. He went up to them and desired them to leave off, but as they refused he procured the assistance of another constable and took both prisoners into custody. While he was con veying Moore to the station-house. he saw him throw away a silver watch, but a constable picked up an article which had all the appearance of having been stolen from some person, as the bow of it was broken. Moore then put one of his hands into his pockets and immediately after he raised it to his mouth, and then he (witness) saw a portion of a gold chain hanging from it. Ho prevented him from swallowing it,'and on his forcing his fingers into his mouth he took out a gold chain, with a locket attached, and two sovereigns and a half (produced). At the station house he said he had been to the Great Western Railway to see some friends off who were going to the fight between Mace and Goss, and he should have gone himself only he met Flannagan and they got drinking until it was too late. Police-constable,-176 F, said he took Moore into custody. He resisted very mach, and as he was conveying him to the station-house he tripped him (witness) up, and suc ceeded in running away. He pursued him as soon as he was able, and on coming up with him he struck him a vio lent blow, but he succeeded, after much opposition, in getting him to the station house. Ackrill, one of the detective officers of the F said he had known Flannagan as a thief for years. H e had been tried frequently at the Clerkenwell sessions, and only at the last of which he was acquitted for stealing a pin: He pleaded guilty to the charge before the magistrate, but as there was a former conviction against him, the magistrate could not deal summarily with the case. He was sent to the sessions, and there the jury acquitted him. Moore—How could I be guilty if the jury acquitted me ? (Laughter.) Sergeant Lambert, of the E division, said whenever the prisoner was before a magistrate he always pleaded guilty to the charge preferred against him. Sergeant Shaw, of F dtvision, believed, if time were given him, he should be able to prove Moore to be a returned convict. He had known him for some time to be the con stant associate of thieves. Mr. Henry asked the prisoners what they had to say to the charge. Moore replied that he met Flannagan. They got drink ing, and afterwards, in consequence of something being said, they commenced fighting, and got locked up. Flannagan said he sold things in the street, and the money (3s. 6d.) found upon him was the result of a little bit of a raffl.3 that had been got up for him. He had been taken up by the police four times in a fortnight for selling things in the street, and that had completely cracked him up. He had nothing more to say than that he knew nothing of the watch or money found on Moore. Mr. Henry—The police saw you, Moore, put the gold chain and locket into your mouth. Moore—A man doesn't know what he is doing when he's drunk. (Laughter.) Mr. Henry—You had two sovereigns and a half there as well. Moore—Yes, that's right. It was my own, axd I put it there for earety. I didn't want to get robbed of it. (Laughter.) Mr, Henry remanded both prisoners for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A NICE FELLOW FOR THE ARMY.—THE REGULA TION AS TO WEARING THE BELL—Two privates of the Ist battalion of Coldstream Guards, named James Hall and John Blay, were charged before Mr. Knox with steal ing an umbrella from a female named Ellen Holmes, in Oxford-street. It appears that the female was passing along Oxford street, when, seeing a crowd assembled in consequence of some' altercation going on, she stepped into the midst of the persons collected. The soldiers then pushed her, and one of them struck her in the mouth. They then took her umbrella from her and walked off with it. She fol lowed them for some distance and spoke to the police. On the constables going up to the soldiers the umbrella was thrown on the pavement, and the soldiers took off their belts. Blay then struck Joseph Watt-, 30 D, with his belt, and Hall struck Ball, 378 D, with his fist. The sol diers were then taken to the station. Sergeant Meyer, of the Ist battalion of Coldstream Guards, handed Mr. Knox a certifieate to the effect that on the 14th of June, 1856, Hall was convicted of theft, and on th e 17th December, 1860, was convicted for a misde meanour, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. He had also been convicted, and sentenced to 42 days' hard labour for insubordination, and been several other times tried by court-martial. Blay had also been tried seven times by court-martial for military offences. Mr. Knox—How is it that such a man as that is kept in the army. It strikes me that he is a very unfit man. There are two convictions against him by the civil power, and a batch of offences tried by court-martial. Notwithstanding their bad character, I do not think there is sufficient evi dence to convict of stealing the umbrella. With regard to the assaults on the constable, what do you wish to say ? Hall—l am sorry, I did not use my belt. Mr. Knox —What is the regulation with regard to the belt ? Sergeant Meyer—When a man is convicted of an assault, his belt is taken from him, and he is not allowed to wear it again till permission is granted by the commanding officer. Mr. Knox—l shall make a difference in the sentence of the prisoners. I shall commit Blay for two months' hard labour for the assault on the constable with his belt, and Hall for six weeks, with hard labour, as he did not use his belt. THAMES. LATE SITTINGS AND DELAYS.---Mr. Partridge took his seat on the bench this day, at thirty-three minutes past 11 o'clock ; yesterday he commenced the business at twenty five minutes before 12. The delays and inconvenience to suitors and the public generally in consequence of the manner in which the business of this Court has been lately conducted has created unusual indignation. On Tuesday last Mr. Woolrych began to hear the applications at 11, and then proceeded with the night charges and remands. There were very few criminal cases this day ; and, at twelve o'clock, ho adjourned the magistrate ayoh:lac, Court for two hours, to the great annoyance of complainants, defendants, and witnesses attending on sum monses. In consequence of the late hour at which the until half-past six o'clock one evening last week, en an other evening at half-past seven, and or , a third at half. past ti h hih e rea c i e t s r icourts u g a n t h e d t s P d the °l a y i :p ' Parliament Good ai de e s Friday, courtstr d a r t yo: on n e g r u o a l f n a ytdh everynde regulating s dy a t aa i h y dim oi a n g t e polices exceptappointed for a public fast or thanksgiving, from ten until five, and at such other times as urgent necessity may require. The Act of Parliament has been obeyed at the Bow.street and the Worship-street Police Courts, but since Mr. Selfe s o A t uttlecentr atadroseof." ed but iness, the court did not rise left this court for Westminster no business has been pro ceeded with until 11 o'clock. It has been sometimes 12 o'clock, and later, before the night charge s have been pro ceeded with by Mr. Woolrych, and the police have been kept out of their beds. The people in the court complained bitterly of the want of punctuality on the part of the magi strate this morning, and some of them expressed a determi nation to write to the Home Secretary. The inhabitants of that part of the Tower Hamlets comprised within the dila trict of the court are likely to hold public tneetings o n the subject unless some change takes place. The Judges find their way into their courts at Westminster at ten o'clock precisely, and in the assize towns at nine o'clock, but a majority of the metropolitan police magistrates cannot rise early enough to take their seats before 11, half-past 11, and 12 o'clock. The number of night charges this day are below the average. There are three remanded cases to be heard, and 19 summonses, besides what the day is likely to turn up from the docks and the district generally. A small yacht named the Souris has just been constructed for the service of the Prince Imperial in the waters of Biarritz. The vessel is commanded by Lieut. Desvaraderg, of the Imperial navy. , (Challoner) 1 Dukeof Beanfort's Doncaster, 6yrs, Sst 121b(G.Fordham) 2 Sir 11. Des Voeux's Warhorse, 3 yrs, 6.4 1211 b (Deacon) 3 Mr. 11.

A reward of £4 10s, was voted to the crew of the Aberdoyey lifeboat of the institution, for putting off and rescuing six of the crew of the barque Wil liam Bromham, of Gloucester, which during stormy weather had stranded or. Abcrdovcy Bar on the 15th ult. A reward of 1:7 was also granted to the crew of the Newhaven lifeboat, the Thomas Chapman, belonging to the society, for saving the crew of five men of the schooner Cestrian, of Chester, which had grounded on the bar off Newhaven harbour in a gale of wind and heavy sea on the 31st ult. The lifeboat and her crew were reported to have be haved admirably on the occasion. A reward of £7 was voted to tLe crew of the society's lifeboat at Bude Haven, for putting off through a high surf and rendering important services to the ship Con flict, of Plymouth, which was in distress during a gale of wind off TrevoseHead, on the Cornish coast, on the 30th ult. A reward of .f.:4 was likewise voted to the crew of the society's lifeboat stationed at the Lizard (Cornwall), for going off, in reply to signals of distress, to the rescue of the crew of a sloop which was observed in a dismasted state under the Black Head, off Cadiwith, during a strong easterly gale. The lifeboat was launched without delay, and proceeded to the vessel agiust a head wind and strong tide. in the mean time the sloop had been boarded by the crews of two pilot-boats, who afterwards stood out to sea with the wreck in tow, and subsequently reached Falmouth harbour in safety. A reward of £7 102. was also voted to the crew of the Weimer lifeboat, of the institution, for going off with the view of saving the crew of the ship Canvas-back of London, which had stranded during blowing weather on the Goodwin Sands on the 18th ult. The lifeboat re mained alongside some time, when, the weather having moderated, the vessel was got off by a steamtug and some Deal boatmen. The lifeboat was reported to have behaved remarkably well on the occasion. A reward of £5 was also granted to seven men for putting off in a coastguard boat and saving, at some risk of life, six soldiers from Hurst Castle garrison boat, which was swamped off the Isle of Wight on the 11th ult. in a heavy sea. Two men had perished before the arrival of the coastguard-boat. A reward of LI was likewise given to a la 3, 14 years of age, named Dennis Clif ford, of Cahirciveen, county Kerry, in admira tion of his gallant conduct in plunging into the sea, and saving at the risk of his life a man, who, while bathing near that place, had got his hands entangled in some seaweed, and after struggling to get free had sunk quite exhausted. The lad, who had been attracted to the spot by the screams of two women who had observed the drowning man, at once dived in, and succeed in bringing his body, apparently lifeless, to the shore. After some time, however, he happily recovered. There were no means of assistance at hand, and a moment's longer immersion must have proved fatal to the poor man, whose hands when he was brought on shore were still entangled in the seaweed. Various other rewards were also granted to the crews of shore-boats for saving life on the coast. It was re ported that the institution had during the past month received a legacy of £2OO from the late Mr. William Currie, banker, of Cornhill, and one of £lB9 from the late Mr. John Jolly, farmer, of En stone, Oxford ; and that £5O had also been received by the society from the relatives of the late Mrs. Thornton. The institution had just sent large life boats to Hastings, and to Blakeney, on the Norfolk coast, in lieu of the former boats at those places, which were deemed too small for the localities. Mr. Merrell, a member of the Society of Friends, and residing at Matlock, in Derbyshire, is making strenuous exertions to raise the cost of lifeboats from persons having the same surname. Captain Ward, R.N., inspector of lifeboats to the society, was directed to proceed on a tour of inspection of its lifeboats on the north-east coast of England. A report was read from Captain David Robertson, the assistant inspector of lifeboats to the institution, on his recent visit to its lifeboats on the coasts of Lan cashire, the Isle of Man, and Scotland. He found them all in an efficient state. The operations of the institution extend over the whole coasts of the British isles, and by its system of rewards it encou rages every means, either by lifeboats or otherwise, to save life from shipwreck. Thus about £1,300 a year are granted by it, as rewards for saving life from wrecks, besides a considerable number of silver medals, votes on vellum, &e. Payments were ordered to be made on various lifeboat esta blishments, and the proceedings terminated. The Paris and Dieppe Canal. The Moniteur de 1 Oise states that all the surveys and soundings for this undertaking have been com pleted, and that the important questions of feeding the canal has been solved. The line proposed by M. Sabattio stops at Gennevilliers, near Courbevoie, in the department of the Seine, where, according to the project, the great mercantile port of Paris is to be established. From Gennevilliers it takes the direction of Ile Adam, skirting the foot of St. Gra tien, and, reaching Beaumont, cuts the Oise at Tiverny, passes under Mont Ataire, in the valley of Therein, and, following the right side of that val ley, arrives at Beauvais, where a large basin is to be formed. From Beauvais it enters the valley of the Avelon, by which it enters Gournay ; it then follows the valley of the Bray until it arrives oppo site the mineral springs of Forges. There it turns to the right into the small valley which receives the waters of those springs, and finds a passage through the not very elevated tableland which blocks up that valley after the rivulet has found an issue below the old Abbey of Beaubeo. It then meets the Bethune near St. Saire, and successively arrives at Neufchatel, Arquis, and Dieppe. At the latter place it sweeps away the fetid slaughter-house, the demolition of which has already been ordered by the city ; it skirts the parsonage and Infant School of Le Pollet, suppresses the old houses of the Rue de la Lombarderie, cuts off a small corner from the cliff's, and penetrates into the port. Hence it is seen that the point of division of the canal is the plateau lying between Forges and the Abbey of Beaubec. Here, it appears, the ground is 80 metres (240 feet) above the level of Paris ; in stead of tunnelling the plateau, a system of locks is proposed, which are to be fed by hydraulic machines ; but from what source or reservoir these are to re ceive their supply has not yet been decided on. The State, it appears, has not been applied to for any subvention or guarantee of interest to the company which undertakes the work. THE DISCOVERY OF DEAD BODIES IN WHITE CHAPEL CHURCH.—The singular discovery of dead bodies in Whitechapel Church has created, as might be supposed, singular excitement in the neighbourhood. Last evening Mr. Churchwarden Lankeater directed that a tho rough search should be made on the roof of the church, and Joseph Cooper and Joseph Tomlinson, who had made on last Saturday week the first discovery, while engaged in fixing patent ventilatorsin the roof, accordingly made a careful exa mination of the whole. The result of this search, which was concluded at 8 o'clock last night, was that in all 11 coffins, three of which contained bodies of children were brought to light. Eight of the coffins were broken, and were in pieces, apparently from violer ce ; three were in good condition, and one had written on it, in blacklead pencil, " Mrs. Foster, No. 35, Bedford-street." Two of the bodies are supposed to have been still born. It is not apparent how the third child clime by its death. In addition to these remains about seven skulls of children were found, and they were stained with blood. There were some bones and dust, and the remains of clothing. A cap was on the head of one of the bodies, and napkins were also lying amongst the remains. The sexton (ilr. Wilkinson) etates it as his opinion that the bodies prave, by the manner in which they moulder into dust when touched, that they must have been deposited on the roof 40 or 50 y ea rs ago. Other persons, however, are of opinio n that at least one of the bodies was only dead 12 months. Dr. Blackman, who will have the examination of the bodies, is at present in the country, and therefore a scientific opinion is yet to be had. The police are engaged in making a most searching investigation, with a view to ascertain, first, who placed the remains in the roof of the church ; and next, whether there is any reason to believe that the children 11..td come by their &Was through foul play, Liverpool Cotton Market----This Day.

Generally speaking, sales pr o g ressed sl owly; nevertheless the quotations were supported. Floating cargoes of grain met an active sale, at late rates. The market was but moderately supplied with barley. I'he demand, however, was in a sluggish state, at barely previous currencies. About an average business was transacted in malt, at late prices. The supply of oats was tolerably large. Generally speak ing, the demand ruled inactive; nevertheless, good and fine corn sold at previous rates. Beans and peas were without change in value from Monday, but the inquiry for them was much restricted. Flour—both English and foreign—moved off slowly, at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wbeat.

There are adopts in this peculiar department of what may be literally styled the literature of art. They are as erudite as skilful. The majority of amateurs—especially the fashion able sort, who are the majority—though they may have or come to have a more or less sincere love of art for art's sake, are most superficial, extrinsic connoisseurs. Their first ordinary question is, before venturing to bid, " Is it signed ?" The vendor is able to answer this question affirmatively oftener than he otherwise could, thanks to the professional monogrammatist. This counterfeiter has made a special study of signatures, not only materially of their i dottings and t crossings, but historically of their variations at diffe rent epochs. Thus ho knows, and practices in accordance with his knowledge, that Hobboma signed his large pieces with christian and family name in full ; others simply M. Hobbema, others still llobbema ; that the letters should be small, irregular, greyish in colour, not too well formed nor too prominent, generally in the middle foreground on the ground, and not in the right or left hand corners, rather indistinct, and without date. Rembrandt should be in the left not the right corner, in bitumen, with a long-tailed R if in full, Rembrandt van Ryn, then the date should be affixed. A Proudhon, done before he went to Italy, should be signed in capitals P. P. P. ; after that epoch, and ac cording to circumstances, Prud'hon, or Pierre Paul Prud'hon, the letters traced as if with a tremulous hand. This matter of signatures is curiously insisted on by vir tuosi, even in cases that admit no question of authenticity. I know a Diaz, most marked with his marked manner cf 10 years ago—so far superior to his present generation—but 1 by some accident not signed, sold in 1859 for 400fs. cheer fully signed next day by the master, and resold next year for 600 f. to the same man whose bid was arrested a twelve month before at 340 f. The next best proof of worth after high birth is good social connection. Next to signatures come seals. "You observe, gentlemen," remarks the ex pert, as he hands the dubious Corregio to the commission aire, " that the seal on the back of the frame shows this to have come from the gallery of Cardinal Pesch." And al though it is as plain as any possible combination of pike staves or hand spikes that his eminence's gallery never could have warehoused all the works attributed to that magazine, it is as true as history and the laws of trade that any one work with such sealing-wax proof of respectable local habitation and associate name sells 5, 10, 20 per cent. higher than though it lacked the cardinal's hat in red wax. AU the Year Round. NOVEL RETREAT FOR A BURGLAR.—Before the magistrates at Manchester yesterday, two men named Henry Smith and John Pendleton were charged with breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr. Charles Mac laren, Embden-grove, Moss-lane. Mr. Maclaren had closed his house to go into the country, but before doing En had de sired his neighbours to keep a watchful eye upon the pre mises. On Wednesday night the suspicions of three of the neighbours were aroused by seeing a light in the house, and went to search for it. They found the prisoner Smith at the head of the stairs, who told them the house belonged to him. For a time they failed to discover any one else, but seeing a bed in some disorder two of the neighbours com menced beating the cover, one with a stick and the other with a poker. Two sportsmen beating a cover in search of other kind of game could hardly have found their labours more immediately requited, for the prisoner Pendleton started from under the clothes with a cry of pain, and was ultimately handed over to the police, along with the other prisoner. The prisoners had not taken anything from the house, but they had broken open drawers and removed goods within the meaning of the statute. The case was remanded for want of a witness to prove that the house had been locked up, but the depositions were ordered to be taken, with a view to the committal of the prisoners fur trial. FATAL ACCIDENT AND GALLANT ATTEMPT AT RESCUE FROM DROWNING.—At an early hour on Monday morning, while a number of ladies were bathing at Spanish Point, Miltown Malbay, a young woman of the neighbourhood, named M`Grane, who had also been bathing, having swum out a considerable distance, was evidently being carried out to sea by the ebb-tide, and her perilous position being observed by the Misses Crowe, of Bindon-street, Ennis, and Miss Barclay, they shouted for assistance. Two of the police were promptly on the strand, but could render no assistance, as thky were not able to swim. In this state of affairs, the Misses Crowe ran in all haste to the lodge, and apprised their brother, Captain Robert Crowe, of the girl's danger. This gentle man at once jumped from his bed, and, accompanied by his younger brother, Mr. James Crowe, ran to the strand and at once rushed into the sea. At this time the girl was a considerable distance out, but those two young gentle. men, having swam with amazing rapidity, reached her while she was still afloat, but just as they did so she turned on her face, and they soon perceived that she was quite unconscious. Having placed her between them they each caught hold of her, and then made the best of their way back, and succeded in bringing her in to the 1 1 shore. The girl was at once conveyed in an unconscious state to the lodge, and every effort made to revive her, not withstanding which she gradually sank, and, we regret to say, in about two hours afterwards expired, The brave and generous manner in which Captain Crowe and his brother risked their lives on the occasion excited the admi ration of all who witnessed the occurrence.—Clare Journal. THE SAILOR fiods his thoughts set ready for him in verse, and, generally speaking, one tune fits all his songs. On a Saturday night he will go through a dozen with no greater variation in the melody than a shake more or less at the end of a verse. Good rollicking tunes are far more scarce than songs. The air cannot be too simple to please a sailor. It should have a sort of see-saw or lurch in it, so that it can be sung at the capstan in time with the motion of the men. Sailors in the docks often invent their own tunes for this particular operation, and very plaintive and wild some of them aro. No one who has heard them will forget the really beautiful melodies which the sailors sing in the ports about the Bristol Channel. There is one which even a landsman cannot hear without feeling an in clination to hitch up his trousers. We are not aware that it has ever been set to music ; but it is so good that a sailor never comes within sound of it without carefully shifting his quid to his hat or jacket pocket, and joining in the chorus.—Spectator.
