MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Very little change is to be noted in the condition of affairs in the Money Market. Discount firmb appear to be well supplied with capital, for which the demand is daily decreasing. Substantial con cessions are therefore offered by the brokers, the best three months' bills having been negotiated at below the official minimum. The only, bullion operation at the Bank yesterday was a withdrawal of 45,000 sovereigns fer exporta tion. About £250,000 in gold was sent yesterday to Paris, it is thought for the Bank of France. The Ceylon, which leaves to-lay with the Bom bay mails, will convey £451,100 in specie. There has been less ectivity iu the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days. Sugar, however, has maintained previous prices, while coffee, tea; fruit, and spices, have shown no material change as regards values. Rice has been in good demand, chiefly for exportation, while the tallow market has shown more activity, and prices for both present and forward delivery are well maintained. The committee of the Stock Exchange have fixed the 4th proximo for a special settling day on the shares of the undermentioned undertakings--Impe rial Brazilian Loan and Joint Stock Stock Discount Company new shares, which are to be officially marked, Orated Bread Company, and the Oriental Hotel Company, to be marked in the twice a week list. The Loan Trust and Agency Company of South Africa and the Jersey Imperial Hotel Com pany, which are not to be recorded in the official list. A special meeting was held to-day of the Oriental Inland Steam Company, for the purpose of confirm ing the resolutions passed at the preceding meeting, empowering the directors to cancel those C shares upon which calls have not been paid, and to reissue theta as preference capital, bearing interest at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum. The resolutions were confirmed. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Rniter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 20c. The market for the English Stocks have not fluctuated to-day to any quotable extent, although business appears a little more active.

Mr. Garforth, an Inspector of the F Division of Police, stated that the prisoner had been a seafaring man, and having selected a row, of houses ; in the front of which were balcmaies, he climbed into the balcony of the first house of the row, and walking along, tried the windows of the several houses. In several instances he effected an entrance, ransacked all the drawers in the room, and carried off every valuable article he was able to lay hold on, He bad used a small strong screwdriver which was found on him when he was apprehended. He had formerly been steward on board a gentleman's yacht, and came to London in the early part of the year, and soon after commenced the depre dations which led to his apprehension.

INDUSTRIOUS PICK-POCKETS AND PERSEVERING DE TECTIVES.—CaroIine Holmes and Julia Graham were charged with attempting to pick the pockets of about fifty ladies. Sergeant Edward Langley, of the detective police, said that on the previous afternoon he was standing in the Regent-circus with a brother officer (Coathupe), when he saw Graham place herself on the right-hand side of a lady, the other prisoner standing in front. He then told Coathupe to ask the lady whether she had lost anything, and she said she had not. They then followed tho prisoners along Oxford-street into the London Crystal Palace, down Regent street, back into Oxford •street, to the Tottenham court-rcad, and then again to Oxford-street, where they took the prisoners into custody, having seen them try the pockets of not fewer than fifty ladies. At the station Graham gave as her address a notorious place over the water. Mr. Knox said he was glad to find that the prisoners had made so many unsuccessful attempts, as it showed that the ladies were more careful and the prisoners' business so bad. Edwin Coathupe, of tho detective police, corroborated Sergeant Langley, and said that Holmes was not known at the address she gave. Mr. Knot said he felt certain that if the prisoners were remanded they would be known to the police, as there was no doubt they were a couple of dangerous pick-pockets. Remanded. A SOLDIER CHARGED WITH HIGHWAY ROBBERY. — William Gordon, a private of the Ist battalion of Scots Fusiliers, was charged before Mr. Knox with the following robbery :-- Alfred Cape!, a servant at 46, Dover-street, said the pri soner came up to him last night in Arlington-street. and asked him the best way to the Green-park. He showed the prisoner, who immediately said, " What's this ?" and made a snatch at his watch chain, breaking it, and made off to the Green.park. He, however, pursued the prisoner and caused him to be taken into custody, but not till he had had a struggle with him to prevent him getting over the rail ings. Henry Smith, 147 0, deposed to taking the prisoner into custody, and to the prisoner, who had been drinking, hand ing him a piece of chain, which the prosecutor said was his property, cLMarare. c l e i r n c o i lt e a p sk ri e s d on th er e b p o r r ir ? or's sergeant what sort of a Ihe sergeant said it was very good, and he bad a good conduct stripe. The prisoner said he had been drinking. Mr. Knox said the prisoner well knew what he was about, and even if he had been drinking it was no excuse. But for the good character the prisoner bad received he should have sent him for trial. He should commit him for three months' with hard labour. WILFUL DAmAGE.—Mary Heatley was charged with being drunk, and wilfully breaking a pane of glass of the value of £2O, the property of Mr John Martin, bootmaker, 49, Pall-Mall. John Lovelock, foreman to Mr Martin, said the prisoner entered the shop yesterday and asked for Mr Martin, and, on his telling her that he was out, she seized a last or boot and smashed the windows. The prisoner said she had lived with Mr Martin as his wife for 13 years, but he had left her. Mr Martin said the prisoner came twice yesterday after noon to his shop. The first time he pacifiei her and she left, but the second time she came she broke the window. Mr Knot asked Mr Martin whether he had known the prisoner before, and Mr Martin said he had, and that she had frequently annoyed him. Prisoner said she was in a passion. Mr Martin said he did not wish the prisoner sent to prison. Mr Knox. after cautioning the prisoner that whatever had passed between her and Mr Martin, she must not break his windows, ordered her to enter into her own recognisance. WESTMINSTER. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A DRUNKEN FlT.—Johanna Hearne, a middle-aged Irish woman, was charged with attempting suicide by strangulation. James Edwardes, 241 A, said that between 12 and one this morning he was on duty in Queen's-road East, Chel sea, when he heard a groan, and proceeding across the road in the direction of the sound, for he could not see owing to the fog. he found this woman hanging to the railings. Mr. Arnold—How do you mean? Witness—She had tied a handkerchief round her neck and then attached it by means of pieces of string and other things to the railings of Chelsea Hospital. She had then thrown her neck back, her head hanging down towards the road, and woull soon have been strangled had I not come up. I had great trouble in releasing her, and had to tear the handkerchief to pieces before I could get her free. When I got her on her feet I found she was very drunk, and took her to the station, where she made another attempt on her life. Mr. Arnold—She was drunk, you say. Did she make a noise going to the station ? The witness and a pollen sergeant intimated that she was very violent both on the way and at the station, where she became so troublesome (attempting to strangle herself again) that it was necessary for the man to sit up in the cell with her all night. ' Mr. Arnold (to defendant)—What have you to say to this ? The defendant, with an impudent laugh, replied, " Oh I I've got nothing to say. I was mad drunk." Mr. Arnold--Well, I shall not deal with you for the attempted suicide, but for being drunk I shall fine you 10a., or scnd you to prison for seven days. Defendant—Then, I'll do the seven days.

Horses were " turned up, jockeys had rest from their labours until the Craven Meeting, and the curtain was supposed to have descended on the racing exhibitions of the year. Bat, although this is still in some measure the case, the rule no longer holds. Towns unre cognised by our grandfathers as centres of racing now pro long the season with autumnal gatherings, and Wcreester, Liverpool, Shrewsbury, and others of lesser note put forth attractive bills of fare, and, by ingeniously dovetailing a little steeplechasing with the more legitimate features of the sport, contrive to keep the great desideratum of the present day — speculation—alive, and help the industrious speculators over the dull season of winter. How far this extension of the season is productive of good to the Turf is not our province here to inquire. We only record the fact. The train from Shoreditchon Sunday afternoon was not so crowded as we have seen it; but Newmarket looked full and bus ling, and a brilliant wind-up is evidently expected, to which the glorious weather will in no small degree con tribute. To-day there was nothing of any great interest in the eight events on the card, with the exception of the Cambridgeshire Trial Handicap, as the £5O Plate for 3-yr olds and upwards is teamed, and the Criterion. The issue of the former is generally supposed to throw some light on the great event, and this year the easy victory of Stock inger may probably have an influence on the position in the betting of his stable companion, Bsthilde. Considered a very moderate horse, ho managed with his light impost of Est 101 b to breast the trying hill, and came in a winner in a emmon canter, the two top weights, Twilight and Aure lian, beihg respectively second and third. The Maiden Plate for 2-yr-olds was an easy thing for Rothschild, the lot behind him being but an indifferent one, and in the Selling Handicap Lady Derby disposed of her horses with out much difficulty. The morning had been foggy, but the sun dispersed the thick atmosphere soon after the races commenced. 'Just before the start for the Criterion, however, it came on denser than ever, and Admiral Rous, after consulting with his brother stewards, postponed this interesting two •yr-old coatest until to-morrow, when the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, and suite are expected to honour the course with their presence. lian.diesp Plate of 50 soya, for 3-yr-old3 and upwards.

WHEEDLING PATERFAMILIAS, AT HIS TOILETTE. —Mrs. Tappitt knew that she had done well, and prepared for his dinner that day a beef-steak pie, made with her own hands. Tappitt was not altogether a dull man, and understood these little signs. Ah,' said he, ' I wonder how much that pie is to cost me?'—'Oh, T., how can you say such things I As if you didn't have beef-steak pie as often as it's good for yon.' The pie, however, had its effect, as also did the exceeding hellishness ' of the water which was brought in for his gin toddy that night; and it was known throughout the establishment that papa was in a good humour, and that mamma had been very clever. ' The girls must have had new dresses any way before the month was out,' Mrs. Tap pitt said to her husband next morning before he left the con jugal chamber. Do you mean to say they're to have gowns made on purpose for this party said the brewer; and it seemed by the tone of his voice that the hot gin and water had lost its kindly effects. My dear, they must be dressed you know. I'm sure no girls in Baslehurat cost less in the way of finery. In the ordinary way they'd have had new frocks almo-t immediately.' Bother I ' Mr. l'appitt was shaving just at this moment, and dashed aside his razor for a moment to utter this one word. He intended to signify how perfectly well he was aware that a muslin frock pre pared far an evening party would not fill the place of a substantial morning dress. Well, my dear, I'm sure the girls ain't unreasonable; nor am I. Five and- thirty shillings a-piece for them would do it all. And I shan't want anything myself this year in the month of September.'.--Now Mr. Tappitt, who was a man of sentiment, always gave his wife some costly article of raiment on Sept. 1, calling her his partridge and his bird, —tor on that day they had been married. Mrs. Tappitt had frequently offered to intromit the ceremony when calling upon his generosity for other purposes, but the September gift had always been forthcoming. ' Will thirty five shillings apiece do it ?' said he, turning round with his Lace all covered with lather. Then again he went to work with his razor just under his right ear—' Well, yes; I think it will. Two pounds each for the three shall do it any way' Mr. Tappitt gave a little jump at this increased demand for fifteen shillings, and not being in a good position for jump ing, encountered an unpleasant accident, and uttered a somewhat vehement exclamation. There,' said he, now I've cut myself, and it's your fault. Oh dear, oh dear When I cut myself there it never stops. It's no good doing that, Margaret ; it only makes me worse. There, now you've got the soap and blood all down inside my shirt.' "—An thony Troloppe's " Rachel Ray." EXECUTION OF A. SPY.—Spencer Kenogg, the spy, has just been executed in the presence of a vast crowd of people. While seated in the " hack " waiting the perfecting of the arrangements he conversed with the utmost nonchalance with Dr. Burrows, frequently smiling at some remark made either by himself or the minister. Arriving under the gallows, the condemned man, unaccompanied, mounted the scoffold, In a few moments Detective Cape hart followed, and commenced to adjust the rope over the neck of the criminal, in which he assisted, all the while talk ing with the officer. On taking off his hat to admit the noose over his head he threw it on one side, and, falling off the scaffold, it struck a gentleman beneath, when the prisoner turned quickly, and bowing said : --" Excuse me, Sir." A negro came on the scaffold with a ladder and proceeded to Casten the rope to the upper beam, the prisoner meanwhile e egarding him with the greatest composure. The rope being fastened, the negro was in the act of coming down, when the prisoner, looking at the rope, remarked :—" This won't break my neck; tisn't more than a foot fall. Doctor, I wish you would come up and arrange this thing. I don't watt to have a botch job of it I" The rope was then re arranged to his satisfaction, and the cloth cap placed over his head. The condemned man then bowed his head and engaged a few seconds in prayer, at the conclusion of which he raised himself, and standing perfectly erect, pronounced in a clear voice, "All ready I" The drop fell, and the con thinned man was launched into eternity. He struggled violently for about a second, the rope swaying to and fro like the pendulum of a clock. He had confessed his guilt. Ho had hired himself in the Confederate Engineer Corps at Island No. 10 for the purpose of gaining information for the benefit of the Federal Government, and he died with the conviction that he had furnished more valuable infor mation, in the character of a spy, to that Government, than any other 10 men is the United States' service.—lticA mond Inquirer, FOOTBALL—Last evening ti meeting of the cap tains or other representatives of the foutball clubs of the metropolis was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. Mr. Peteber, N. N. Kilbatu Club, having been voted to the chair, observed that the adoption of a certain set of rules by all football players was greatly to be desired, and said that the meeting Lad been called to carry that object into effect as far as practicable. Mr. E. C. Morley (Barnes) moved, and Mr. Mackenzie (Forest Club, Leytonstone) seconded, the fol lowing resolution :—" That it is advisable that a football association should be formed for the purpose of settling a code of rules for the regulation of the game of foot ball." Mr. B. F. Hartshorne said that though he felt it was most desirable that a &finite Eet of rules for football should be generally adopted, yet, as the repre sentative of the Charterhouse School, he could not pledge himself to any course of action without seeing more clearly what other schools would do in the matter. On the part of the Charterhouse he would willingly coalesce if other public schools would do the same. Probably, at a more advanced stage of the association, the opinion of the generality of ,put and the great schools wou ld be obtained, T he chairman said every association must have a be g inni ng , and they would be very happy to he ve the Co. operati on for of the last speaker at afuture meeting. The wasr" resolutionthen.p t the formation of the association carried. The officers were elected as follows Mr. A. Pember, Presiden t ; Mr E. C. Morle y (Barn es), Hon. Secretary ; M r F. tl. Campbell (Blackheath), • Treasurer. The annual subscr i ption was fixed at o ne guinea, all clubs being e li g ible if of one year's standing, and to be entitled to send two representatives to the yearly meeting, to be held in the last week in September, , when the rules would be revised, and arrangements carried out, the general business THAMES. AN Inlsm Row.—Sarah Welsh, a young Irishwoman, was brought up on a warrant before Mr. Elliott, charged with assaulting Bridget Ford and Mary Ann Cogan, in Henry-street, Back Church-lane, St. George-in-the-East. Mi. Charles Young. solicitor, said that a summons had been obtained against the prisoner, and she failed to appear to the., process, and a warrant was taken out on which she was apprehended last night. On the morning of Sunday, the 18th instant, at five minutes past 12 o'clock, the pri soner attacked a young woman named Hall, and beat her in a very brutal manner. The complainant Ford, hearing the c.ics of her sister for help, went down stairs in her night clothes to rescue her sister, and found the prisoner pulling her about by the hair of her head. The young woman Ford rescued her sister, and the prisoner went into the house No. 30, Henry-street, obtained a decan ter, and struck Bridget Ford a violent blow on the head with it, inflicting a severe lacerated wound, from which the blood flowed very freely, A t ten o ' clock the same morn ing Cogan was passing al ong the street when the prisoner again attacked her, tore th e sleeve out of her gown, and scratched her face, Several witnesses were examined in support of Mr. Young's statement. One witness said it was a complete bother from twelve to one o'clock. Mr. Gomm, for the defendant, said Bridget Ford was the aggressor, that a general row took place, and that a child eleven weeks old was very severely injured, and was now labouring under concussion of the brain. A general recon ciliation took place on the day the summons was made re turnable. All the parties drank together at the Prince of Wales tavern, opposite the court, and the 2s. for the sum mons was paid to the complainant. Several witnesses were called for the defence, who made out there was another row in Henry -street at halt-past 1 o'clock in the morning, after the midnight row was over, that Ford and Cogan were pulling other women about and dragging them about by the hair of their heath.. The women fought like savages. The subsequent reconciliation at the Prince of Wales was partially made out. ,There was bursting of doors, breaking of windows, and severe injuries inflicted on many persons. It transpired that " Patty only assault l o n tbe complainants witnesses, an Wilas baby" was nearly killed at h a lf- past 1 o ' clock in the morning. The prisoner was the taint of the baby.

It is hereby notified that Earl Russell, her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has re ceived from her Majesty's Vice Consul at Vera Cruz, a notification addtessed to him by the Commander-in-Chief of the French Naval Forces in the Gulf of Mexico, and dated the sth of September, 1863, of the Blockade, by the French naval forces, on and from the 6th September, 1863, of the Coast of the Gulf of Mexico, with the exception of Tampico, Vera Cruz, Alvarado, Goatzacoalcos, Tobasco, and Carmen. The following is the official communication received by Earl Russell : NOTIFICATION OF BLOCKADE.

The Secretary of Suate for War has received a Despatch from Lieutenant-General Cameron, C. 8., Commanding the Troops in New Zealand, of which the following is a copy : Head-quarters, Queen's Redoubt, August 4. My Lord,—With reference to the reports I have for warded to your lordship, relative to the operations in which the troops in this province have been engaged during the past month, I beg to state that their success has been owing in great measure to the valuable assistance rendered by Captain Sullivan, Senior Naval Officer at this station, and by the officers and men under his command. A large :party of seamen and marines of her Majesty's ship Harrier have been encamped ou the bank of the Mane gatwhiri river since the 11th ultimo, and their services have been of the greatest advantage to the force under my command, all the boats employed in conveying troops and supplies across to the Koheroa having been entirely manned by them. At my request Captain Sullivan has superintended the construction of six large flat bottomed boats, especially adapted for the transport of troops up iheAWaxikatO. Two of these have been brought overland from uc land, a dis tance of 35 miles, to the Mangatawhiri, where they have been extremely useful. Without the aid of such boats o perations o ci p the Wthai kato could not be carried on, as there is no roa et er bank of the river. For these services I am much l indebted on all otherbted to Captain Sulli van, as well as for his cordial occasions since the commencement of hostilities. the small I have also to acqua i n t your Lordship that colonial steamer Av ht into the Waikato from on was broug the Manukau by Commander Mayne, of her Majesty's ship Eclipse, and is now at anchor off the Bluff Stockade, at Havelock. In reporting to Captain Sullivan the perform ance of this important and hazarcous duty, Cpmmander Mayne speaks highly of the assistance he received from Captain Greaves, Acting Deputy-Aseistaat Quartermaster- General, by whom the lower part of the river was surveyed last summer. In justice to Captain Greaves, who is a moat zealous and beg to forward Captain Sullivan's letter talented officer, regarding his services on this occasion. The Avon is the first steamer that has ever been brought into the Waikato, as it was supposed, previous to the sur. vey made by C a ptain Greaves, that the numerous shoal s i n the lower part of its course rendered the passage of a steamer impossible. The Avon con carry 200 men ; her bulwarks have been made bullet-proof, and she is armed with a 12-pounder Armstrong gun. 1 have not doubt she will be of great service in our ope rations up the Waikato.—l have, to., D.

The chart also em braces the country round Auckland, Wellington, and New Plymouth, and therefore at the present moment it will be found of the greatest service to all readers of the intelligence that arrives from tha't portion of the globe. Although the map is crowth.d with almost unpronounceable names, yet it is ene etned with such clearness and so admirably coloured that any spot required is almost to bbe found in stantaneously. We have to congratulate Mr, Wyid on the production of this admirable chart. Music Hall, Store-Street, Last evening a very excellent concert was given at the Music Hall, Store-street, Bedford-square, in aid of the new Italian Church, Hatton -wall. We believe nearly the whole of the artistes, amongst whom were Miss Mis s w Poole, Miss Hersee Madame Andrea, Miss Leffler, gave their gratuitous services, and with s e u rd cii a t n a d len 4‘i t r a . t S c l o v m il t mend, it was no wonder the Proc,ramm the shighly attrae..- tive. The concert commenced with the performancewas se of a grand march by the Italian band, and thisby Miss sulfcceeded by the charming glee, " Here in cool grot," Miss Leffler, Mr. Swift, and M. De Fontanier. Madamelee' Andrea gave Sloper's scene " Joan of Arc in prison" with, great effect; there was a depth of feeling and patho s throughout the rendering that produced the most marked effect, and elicited universal applause. This lady also gave us a pretty little song, "My dear Irish boy," with the utmost sweetness, and from the applause that followed, it may be [reckoned as one of the gems of the concert. Our queen of ballad singers, Miss Poole, delighted the audience with her quaint old ditties, "The Bailiff's Daugh ter" and "Barney O'Hea ;" and Miss Leffler also made a great impression by the admirable manner in whioh she sang " Savourneen Deelish." " The Death of Nelson" was well given by Mr. Swift, and Miss E. Ward is entitled to great praise for the admirable manner in which she played her two solos on the pianoforte. There were various other pieces of music performed both vocal and instrumental s but space prevents us noticing them further than by saying they were all well executed, and elicited great applause. Signor Randegger and Mr. Osborne Williams were th , ) conductors of the concert, and it is but justice to say thr,t they performed their duties to the entire satisfaction of tux haps one of the most crowded audiences that ever assembled in the Store-street Music Hall. Despatch of Earl Russell to the Federal Diet. The following is a re-translation of the official, German text of Earl Russell's second note to Sir Alexander Mallet : ‘• Sir,—You will be good enough to represent to the Pre sident of the Federal Diet that her Majesty's Government have reason to believe that the answer which Denmark will give the Diet will show her willingness to modify tho patent of the 30th March in the sense of the resolul ion o f the Federal Diet of March, 1860; that is to say, by making the patent in question provisional until the definite position of Holstein with regard to Germany has been settled. In this manner the Estates of Holstein will retain their co:asti tutional privileges, as recognised by the royal patent. But should this take place, Denmark hopes to obtain an ad journment of the Federal execution. " You will represent to the President of the Federal Diet, that Federal execution, even supposing it to remain strictly limited to Holstein, could not take place without increasing already existing difficulties. It is very likely that the Danish Government would make reprisal and institute a blockade vet) , injurious to German, commerce. Such measures would cause as much bitterness in Ger many as would the Federal execution in Denmark. The dispute would then become embittered, claims for damage 8 would arise on both sides, and new difficulties stand in the way of a peaceful settlement. Should the war then extend to Schleswig and Jutland it woultl have to be remembered that Austria and Prussia ' as well a 3 Great Britain and France, are b oun d b y the treaty ° 18 1 - to respect the integrity and i n d epen d ence of Denmark. This obligation would o f course b e fulfilled, but migi it bring about freshcomovpelricnantlieonntsiautilFrraene,lcrigt: "Her Maje s ty' s G t claims o h f atthief DthieutdienmHatiolds,steoifnthanedDLieatuwenebroulrigm, ibtbeuat'teis is of the G or. ei m m i an on Duchies, th e y mi g h t b e satisfied without Fedeoral the execution, and without exposure to the dangers attendant upon such an extreme measure. "You are requested to give a copy of this despatch to I;h4 President of the Federal Diet," INCREASE OF BENEVOLENT SOCIETIES,—Another addition has been made to these useful institutions by the establishment of an Auctioneers' Benevolent Fund, to assist those who, from want of success, or adverse in fluences, have become reduced in circumstances. At a recent meeting held at the auction mart of the most in fluential of the Landon firms, resolutions were agreed to and a fund forthwith raised, amounting to £551 .55., art a annual subscripti ons of £9O Ins. 6d. towards this deserving project.
