E. r. 011 , TIR, Lord sTANLEY said be wits prepared to issue instruc tion, to the secretsries of enibassies with reg ird to tech nical education abroad, from which perhaps some useful information might be derived. But in case the Committee of Council on Education should institute en inquiry into the subject, it would perhaps render unnexassry the issu in.; of such instructions. THE LATE NAVAL REVIEW. In reply to Mr. S Mr. 121 lit UV said that the ships intended for review had not weighed anchor in consequence of the cloudy and bois terous state of the weather which would have rendered the man...tiers:l in such shallow waters as those of South ampton inipriolent and dangerous. (Hear, hear.) The right bon. gentleman quoted the opinions of the Com mander of the Fleet and other officers to this effect. Sir I:. (:REV expressed his concurrence in the course taken by the Admiralty authorities, and his satisfaction at the adminible arrangements made by the right hon. gentle man for the comfort and convenience of the members of the house. (Hear, bear.) THE BALL AT THE INDIA HOUSE. In reply to Mr. SHERI DAN, Sir S. NoRTHC(rIT raid he had already stated the principle on which the in to the ball at the India Ilona. had been sent out, and he hoped the house would not ,kem it discourteous if he declined to go over the subject again. (Hear, bear.) He might state that the invitations were determined upon by a committee of the Council of India, and that they only asked for one ticket for them selves. - - Mr. SHERIDAN said be should renew the subject. ( Oh, oh.) THE CRETAN INSURRECTION. Mr. MILL gave notice of his intention to ask the Seers toy of State for Foreign Affairs, on Monday next, whe ther he would undertake that, unless in the event of the complete cessation of hostilities in Crete, that Sir W. Wiseman would not proceed to Turkey or take up his appointment there till the house had an opportunity of expressing an opinion on the subject. (Hear, hear.) STORM SIGNALS.

Id. ; by balance brought down, 3 96/. 9s. td." _ _ The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, commenced by reminding the share holders that at the last meeting he remarked that the re storation of the credit of the bank would be a slow process. As to the reduction in the deposit and current accounts be believed it arose from scarcity of money among the the public, and the making of calls ; adding that the accounts were of an improved character, and that as re garded London there was an increase. The falling off of 6,0001. in the profits of the half-year was owing in a great degree to the lowness of the current rate of interest. This was the more important, because the greater part of the company's capital was employed in the daily business. The board had not been able to realise the securities held spinet old bad debts. Aa regarded the item of 23,0001. in the account of Mr. Jay, railway con tractor, he feared that that would be entirely lost. The total of debts was 155.0001., added to which there was 10,000/. for preliminary expenses and furni ture, malting 166,0001. Against that there was 123,0001. for securities in London, of which all that was in doubt was 74,0001., and of this 50,0001. was almost within their hands. The capital of 1,000,0001. might! be mid to be intact. The company's affairs at Liverpool had always been extremely well managed, and the losses were chiefly in London. The business of the bank was in a greatly improved condition. Upwards of a hundred sew accounts had been opened during the half-year, and those accounts were of a superior quality to many which had been closed. He regretted to say that out of 800 Loudon shareholders only 148 kept an account with the kaki and the directors felt strongly that they were not sufficiently backed up by those whom they represented. Mr. BARHFOR.I/ moved as an amendment that a com mittee of inquiry be appointed to investigate the bad debt account, and consider the expediency of liquidating the same out of the reserve fund. In reply to a question, Mr. BAMFORD admitted that he did not keep his ao cTit at the bank. Mr. TATtoo , in seconding amendment, contended that that fact did n o t a t effect the question, and proceeded to comment on the past history of the bank as discreditable to many of the directors. The expenditure for management was, he observed, much too large. Though it had been much larger, it wan still 40,0001. a year, and might to be further reduced. If it were diminished by 5,0001. that would be equal to one per cent. in dividend. The CHAIRMAN—NO ; half per cent. Kr. KINTREA opposed the amendment on the ground that lie adoption would tend to ruin the bank by injuring its credit. (Hear, hear.) That was not • moment to take a map which was sure to create alarm. He had the greatest confidence in the honourable chairman—(ebeers)— who was deputy chairman in another Institution in the City of London which was second to none. (Hear, hear.) He was not in the habit of praising directors, but the reduction of expenses had convinced him that their direo kew had awakened to the necessities of the ease. (Cheers.) Kr. SLAM expressed strong confidence in the chair. man, who be bad always believed would bring the ship into • safe haven. (Cheers.) A SHARRHULDIR considered that the adoption of the amendment would be perfectly suicidal. It should be borne in mind that some of the most successful banks in London were at one time in as bad a position as that bank had been. (A voice—" Worse." "Hear, hear.") Kr. Kum (a director) after stating that he was • Liver. pool director, and was compelled, by a change of 'evidence, to retire from the board, referred to the history of the hulk, observing that there bad been • lamentable want of Prudence in the management in the City of London, but that the bank was now in an improved position, and that there was no bank which wee more certain to meet all its engagements. There had, he remarked, been no lessee at Liverpool. The CHAIRMAN, in reply, said if the shareholders wished to wind up the bank they had better peas the mendment. (Hoar.) There neverwas a case in which a bank survived the appointment of • committee of inquiry. He had examined every account, and could testify to the accuracy of the statements now laid before the pro- Motors. noT,' nag bed 'Ara rith atro -012 on • t a t n o: Cows risoa long forth . __._.

A large concourse of apt. bas of all classes of society were waiting for him at the notion, and two bands of music accompanied him to hia Loki.

(THIS DAY.) EQUITY COURT. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood.) 11!AWKINS r. MALTLIT. The question in this case was one of considerable import ance as involving the legality of the practice which is pre valent on the Stuck Exchange with regard to dealings in shares. The plaintiff, Hawkins, on the 21st of March, 1866, directed his brokers, Mews. Crawley, to sell 40 shares (5/. paid up) in the Imperial Mercantile Credit Company. He received a bought and sold note for 2021. 10s. (including commission) the same day from Megan. Crawley, who sold in the market to Mackenzie. On the 26th of March a call was made by the directors, and the price of the shares im mediately fell. On the '_7th of March, which was " name day," Mackenzie directed the Crawley, to take from • stockbroker named Butler, the name of the transferee, and he gave that of the defendant Maltby as pur chaser, through Megan. Wilkit.s, his brokers. Crawley accordingly prepared deeds of transfer. as from Hawkins to Maltby, and the plaintiff Hawkins executed them, the consideration being in blank. The Crawleys having received 1451. (and 15s. for stamp) from Messrs. Wilkins, inserted 1451. as the consideration money, and sent the transfers, with the share certificates, to Mews. Wilkins. Having also received 571. 10s. the difference between 2021. 10s. and 145/. from Mackenzie, the Crawleys paid the plaintiff 202/. 10a. On the 11th of May the company stopped payment and was afterwards wound up. The bill was then filed to compel the defendant to exe cute the deeds of transfer (which he had hitherto not done), and to have the transfer registered, and the defendant's name put on the list of contributories, instead of the name of the plaintiff. The plaintiff had since been obliged to pay a liquidator's call of 5/., and also the former directors' call of U. on the shares. The defendant's case was that he had directed his brokers, Messrs. Wilkin, to buy for him 100 shares of the company, which they bought in the market on the 26th of March, and for which he paid them 3651. 17s. Ifs had since received the share certifi cates, together with what purported to be deeds of transfer of 40 Imperial Mercantile shares from the plaintiff, which he admitted he had not executed. Mr. C. M. Giffard, Q.C., and Mr. Townsend, for the plaintiff, contended that his contract with the defendant was perfectly good and binding according to the custom of the Stock Exchange, and ought to be enforced. If the price had risen, instead of having fallen, the plaintiff could not have kept the shares. Mr. Bruce, Q.C., and Mr. Bush, for the defendant ? said that there was no privity between him and the plaintiff. The defendant's broken had bought in the market, and knew nothing of the plaintiff until they received the deeds of transfer. The Vice-Chancellor held that the defendant was not bound to register himself as a shareholder, or to have his name placed on the list of contributories. His honour put the following case :—Buppose a leasehold property which is bought by A, and A afterwards tells B the vendor, that since be bought he has resol d to C ; if C, before he has the legal estate in him repudiates the purchase on the ground of the pro perty not being in the state in which he thought it was when he agreed to purchase, B cannot enforce the con tract as against C. In this instance no doubt the pur chaser would have to pay for the shares, as having Si. paid up, but it was another thing to say he was bound to complete the purc hase, when he finds that there was a call of 51. actually due at time, which threw down the value of the shares. He could not be compelled to take shares which he had bought without any know ledge of this existing call The legal title wee not in the defendant, and the equitable title could not be enforced against him. His Honour dismissed the plaintiff's bill with costa. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) PHILLIPS AND ANOTHER O. HOLMZE AND STONEHAM. This part heard case was resumed to-day. Evidence on behalf of the disputed codicil was given, showing that although the testator (Mr. George Phillips, late of Streat ham-park) was suffering from great bodily weakness at the time of the execution, he was perfectly able to understand the nature of the act he was performing. The case is likely to last a considerable time longer. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. nil MARKED MONEY Tan. Martha Yardley, a very respectable-looking young woman, was brought up on remand before Sir Thomas Henry, charged with stealing two half-crowns, the pro perty of Mr. Hine, her muter. Mr. Campbell Sleigh, the barrister, attended for the prosecution, and Kr. G. Lewis, of Ely-place, for the defence. It will be remembered that the prosecutor (who keeps sign of the Camden, Store-abut), perceivusg that his • were less since the prisoner had been in his service, mar , with the assistance of a detective, some silver money, and placed it upon his shelf. At the end of the day the officer searched the prisoner's boxes, and diaoovered two of the marked half-crowns, some gold rings, a gold watch, end re ceipts of two deposits of 25f. each made by the prisoner into the London and Westminster Bank. The prisoner refusing to give any explanation for the possession of so large a sum was taken into custody. Mr. John Hine, cross-examined by Mr. Lewie—l marked 2/. 10s. in silver ' tito!gether. I placed IL on the shelf. Found that sum, which is always kept for change, correct in the evening. Most of the marked money bad then been paid away. Gave 10a, also marked, to Carter (the detec tive) to make purchases at the bar. The first time I found the marked 10a. complete in the private tilL I paid the same 10s. away a second time, and on counting the money I found a deficiency in the marked money. I cannot swear that amongst the chugs I gave Carter there were any half crowns. I had a pot-boy who absconded the same morning I charged the prisoner. I did not accuse him of the theft. It was only a domestic dispute, that caused him to abscond. I have not seen him since. I took a note on a piece of paper how I marked the money. The paper being produced, Mr. Lewis read aloud the manner in which Mr. Hine marked the silver, which chiefly consisted of scratches behind the head, under the neck, on the edge, &a Examination continued—The prisoner could have ob tained change out of the general till as well as from the money on the shelf, but she could not from the private til By Mr. Sleigh—The prisoner could place two half-crowns of her own money in the general till, and take two out if she wished. My potboy merely absconded because I told him he did not work enough, and I should start him. He said he would not give me the trouble. I have never had to place marked money on the shelf before. Mr. Lewis produced several pieces of silver from his own pockets, and gave to witness to examine. Witness continued—The money produced is marked, but not like mine ; the marks are imilar, but I should know my own. Mr. Lewis—Here is sixpenos I received from a cabman this morning. Is that marked also ? Witness—Yes; but not the same way ! marked mine. Mr. Lewis—Here is a half -crown. Look at that. Witness—From information received they have been trying to imitate mine, but have not succeeded. Robert Carter, E 117, was called, and said he not made any further bigotries about the prisoner's former situations. Mr. Lewis , for the defence, raid that the girl was per haps very foolish in not accounting to her master for the money, but he (Mr. Lewis) would show that the prisoner had large sums of money before she entered the prose cutor's service. In 1866 she had made two deposits of 251. and one of 404 in the Loudon end County Bank, but being somewhat terrified by the panic of the tune, drew all the money out again, but re-deposited 504 at the beginning of this year in the London and Westminster Bank. Kr. Lewis then called her former master, who proved to having bad some of the prisoner's money pus through his hands, and also gave the prisoner a very excellent cha racter. A gentleman from the London and County Bank and another from the London and Westminster proved the circumstances stated by Mr. Lewis in reference to the deposits and withdrawals made by the prisoner. it having been intimated by Mr. Sleigh that his client had no wish to press this charge if the magistrate con sidered the evidence incomplete, Sir Thomas Henry said—Certainly the evidence given hem to-day has removed • great many of the suspicious circumstances which attached to the case when it was last heard. Ido not like to commit the prisoner for trial when I think that • jury would be almost certain to acquit. But the prisoner is herself to blame for having withheld explanations with respect to her possession of • large sum of money, which would have given the case • very different complexion, Mr. Hine, in the absence of such explanations, was justified in regarding that fact as a confirmation of his suspicions, coupled with the fact of the two marked coins being found in her pos session. No doubt Mr. Lewis, who had defended the prisoner in • very able manner, was quite right in saying that the possession of marked money was not always to be regarded as proof of guilt. Poliocoonstahla were very fond of this test, but the fact that the officer had marked as much as 2/. worth of silver, all which with the exception of two half-crowns, had been allowed to go out into the world, showed bow easily • person might have marked money in his possession without knowing it. It was a suspicious circumstance against her, certainly, but in face of the other evidence and the testimony to charac ter which had been given in her favour, he did not think it would be desirable to send the case to • jury. At the same time he must say most decidedly that it was not • case where any injury had been done to the prisoner and no proceedingsought to follow, she having herself in her present position by her own obstinacy in declining to offer explanations, which she might have done, to Mr. Hine, or to the mart at the brat examination. The prisoner was then discharged. There was some indication in the court of • disposition to awiand, bat any such demonstration was at once cheoW by the alms. nisniwints CONDUCT NEAR ITIZ AGRICULTURAL HALL. .... Henry Thomas, aged 32, of 7 Bt. James's-walk, Clerken weU, a jeweller, was charged before Mr. Barker with being drunk and disorderly at the Liverpool-road entrance of the Agricultural Hall, Islington. Police-constable James fiwanmore, 397 N, said—About half-past 1 this morning I was on duty in the Agricultural Hall, near the Liverpool-road entrance. I saw the defendant, who was drunk, fall into a number of the pots containing flowers that were placed there for ornament. He damaged a number of them. I told the parties con nected with the hall, and the defendant satisfied them for the damage he had done. He was removed from the ball, and some ten minutes' afterwards be came back and en ileavfflired to force his way into the hall. The defendant said he was very sorry for what had occurred, and regretted that he bad got the worse for liquor. - Mr. Barker asked the constable if the defendant annoyed anyone The constable said that the defendant annoyed several ladies by pushing against them. He prevented them from getting to their carriages, and as he made a disturbance and would not go away with his friends it was found neces sary to remove him to the police station. The defendant was not bailed. Mr. Barker (to the defendant)—Have you anything to say in answer to the charge ? The defendant—No, except to say that lam sorry to be here to answer such •charge. It is all through the drink. 311.. Barker said the conduct of the defendant was very ungentlemanly, and ordered him to pay a tine of 10s. ; and in default of payment he would have to go to the House of Correction for seven days. The fine was at once paid. William Hewitt, aged 42, described as a servant out of place, and residing at 30, Northumberland-street, Maryle bmie-road, was charged with assaulting Mr. Edward Liwmisoe, gentleman, residing at 26, Finsbary-square, in the Agricultural Hall, between 5 and 6 o'clock this morn ing ; but as the complainant did not appear when the case was called on, Mr. Barker discharged the defendant. A , 191 , 141(11 Field, a clerk, aged 23 giving his address at 177, liing's.crosaroad, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself in the Agricultural Hall, and it having been stated by Police-constable John Hicks, 259 N, that he saw the defendant drunk at between 4 and o'clock this morning, Mr. Barker discharged the defendant. Judo il;aekelford, aged 25, of 11, Richmond-buildings, Dean-street, Soho, was charged with assaulting Edward James and Morgan James, at the Liverpool-road entrance of the Agricultural Hall, but u the complainants did not appear Mr. Barker also discharged this defendant. Charles Tea' aged 15, a labourer, of 5, Blaney-place, Hollows was charged with ste el ing from the person of Mrs. Lucy Ward, a housekeeper, of 40, Olford : square, Islington, about 4s. eid. in silver and copper monies, and five keys while at the entrance of the Agricultural! Hall, Liverpool-road, but as the prosecutrix failed to attend, Mr. Barker discharged the prisoner with a caution. William Darling, aged 31, a carpenter residing at 30, Seven Sisters-road, Holloway, was charged with assaulting Edward Prior, a clerk, residing at 13, don-plane t Pim lico, at the entrance to the Agricultural Hall, L pper street, Islington, at half-pest 2 this morning. Mr. Barker discharged the defendant. Edward Troyer:, aged 21, who described himself as a labourer, having no home, was charged with stealing from the person of Mr. Thomas Nicholls, watch dial maker, of 15, Ashby-street, Clerkenwell, a scarf pin, while outside the entrance to the Agricultural Hall, in the Liverpool road. Police-constable William Cox 143 Y, said that the prosecutor was not in attendance ; and be wished to know what was to be done with the pm. The prosecutor had given him the pin, stating that the prisoner had stolen it from his scarf, and the prosecutor was the only witness. The prisoner said he had s witness who was standing by his side who Gould prove that he wee not guilty. Mr. Barker discharged the prisoner. George Cooper, aged 23, who gave his address at 21, Prinoes-road, Marylebone, described as a labourer, was charged with stealing from the person of Mrs. Btericker, of 5, Highbury-park, Islington, a diamond brooch of the value of 261. at the Liverpool-road entrance of the Agri cultural Hall. Mr. Walter Stericker, said his wife was so ill from the effects of charging the prisoner that she was unable to at tend the court to-day. The brooch had not been recovered. Police-constable Philip Bradley, 121 Y said—This morning, about half•partl, I was on duty at the Liverpool road entrance of the Agricultural-hall. I saw the prisoner stretch out his hand over two of his companions that were standing in front of him, and snatch a brooch from the person of the complainant, and run off immediately. The lady was standing waing for her carriage. I followed him, never lat h sight of him, and captured him. I took the prisoner to the police-station, and the lady having stated the charge, the prisoner said ho knew nothing at all about it. He was searched, but nothing was found on him. I did not tell the prisoner at the police-station that I did not see him take the brooch. The prisoner was sober. Matilda Moos, of 4, Wakelield-place Bunhill -row, said she was standing by the side of the prisoner and sew him take the brooch and run off. She was quite positive he was the man. _ _ The prisoner denied the charge, and said that he was apprehended simply because he was running. He knew nothing of the robbery, and accounted for his being near the hall by stating that be had simply gone there for the purpose of seeing the sight, and as for his having companions with him that was all moonshine. Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner for the purpose of giving the police an opportunity of recovering the stolen prowty. The prisoner was then removed. THE LORD MAYOR OP LONDON AND THE LORD PROVOST OF EDINBURGH. Ate meeting of the Town Council of Edinburgh on Wednesday the Lord Provost made reference to his visit to Paris. In the course of his observations he said—You appointed me to represent the corporation at the distri bution of prises in • Palace of Industry on the lit of July. Six members of the corporation volunteered to accompany me at their own expense, and I gladly availed myself of their offer. You doubtless saw, a week ego, scene aoeount of the proceeding on the occasion. It was my intention only to say, that at the grand ceremonial, presided over by the Emperor of the French, the dignity and prestige o f Edin burgh as the capital of an ancient kingdom were fully main tained. Something more, however, requires to be men tioned, in consequence of a newspaper account of what took place at a meeting of the Common Council of London on Saturday last, According to that account, which has appeared in the Edinburgh newspaper. the Lord Mayor unfortunately makes some mistakes, to which I have felt it my duty to call his lordship's attention in the following letter : " City Chambers, Edinburgh, July 15, 1857.—My Lord, —ln • newspaper report of a meeting of the Common Council of on Saturday last, I observe that some remarks were made by your lordship concerning the late civil deputations at Paris which require notice. 1. You are stated to have said that while in Paris you left cards with me in return for mine. I can only say in reply, that I never saw any cards left or seat by you. 2. You Mated to have said, ' That the Lord Pro vost joined them (the London Corporation) in his carriage.' This is &be a mistake. Complimentarily, and to please the French in theway of processions, our party, in three carriages, came to your hotel to go along with you, an ar rangement with which you appeared to be satisfied. Tired out, however, bywaiting during your protracted lunch, and seeing no appearance of moving at the appointed time, we drove off at twenty minutes to one o'clock, and arrived and were seated at the Palace of Industry considerably before the London Corporation. 3. Yon are stated to have said—' Talking of discourtesy, he might state that the Lord Provost of Edinburgh absolutely raised the question whether he had not the precedence over him as Lord Mayor of London.' This I absolutely de v. I never raised any such question. MI I ever said was that I was solicitous to avoid any contest as to precedency with the Corporation of Dublin, regarding which there had occasionally been an unplea santi collision. My choice or frank acceptanos of eight tickets, numbered immediately after yours, two days previous to your being in Paris, is a sufficient proof that I never raised, or thought of raising, the question of precedency with London. I trust to hear that you have been misrepresented by the newspapers in the foregoing pa the remain your lordship's obe dient servant W. CHL/11/3ZRB, Lord Provost .— The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of London" It is far from my wish to provoke any dispute with the Lord Mayor of London ; but sinc e the muter has been brought above board, I am in self-defence bound to vindi cate myself as well as the gentlemen who accompanied me. I cannot imagine how the Lord Mayor should think that we went in a procession along with him. To be friendly, we tried it and failed. My feeling was that, in pro- tractedly waiting at the Lord Mayor's hotel, we were only embarrassing his lordship's family ; Derides, as our party were in open carriages under a broiling s u n , me further de lay was scarcely practicable, and we moordin y proceeded alone. Driving up the Champs Elyse*, amidst the cour teous salutations of the French troops ranged on either side, we arrived at the Palace of Industry, I should think, twenty minutes to half an hour before the party of the Lord Mayor. At this part assigned to the 9 lions, the front bench comprehended el even seats. e g a Zs, and three of the second row, were, as a matter of course, left for the occupancy of the fourteen members of the London Corporation. We never for a moment thought of taking the front row. We all along knew that Edinburgh stood second in point of precedency with London, and, along with Rallies Handyside and Skinner, I had taken certain tickets numbered y. My seat happened to be fourth on the second row. eat, coming after our party, were the members of the Corporation of Dublin, headed by their Lord Mayor, with whom I had the plea sure of interchanging courtesies on that and other *am sions. As every one's ticket was numbered in corre spondence with a number on the back of the seat, there was not anywhere the slightest collision. I never saw a thing more beautifully managed. The whole arrangements reflected the greatest credit on the French authorities.

Fresh up to oar market to-day the arrivals of English grain of every description have again been trifling, but in fair average condition. The show of English wheat was very scanty, and the few parcels on offer sold readily, at the extreme rates of Monday last. There was an extensive supply of foreign wheat, but the demand was inactive ; nevertheless the quotations were fairly supported. Floating cargoes of grain were steady on previous terms. The supply of barley was small, and, with a fair demand for both grinding and distilling qualities, full values were obtained. The malt trade continues dull, but prices remain unchanged_ Oats were very plentiful, and good sound corn was quite as dear as on Monday. Rued= oats, however, ruled very dull. Beans were somewhat scarce, but not dearer. Peas were a slow sale, at late rates. Cakes were in rather more demand, but agricultural seeds met a dull inquiry. The flour trade ruled heavy, but prices are without alteration. CDRIENT PRICES. cgi". WIIII7. Per a. )D Kent, red, '65 87 to 71 , '66 60 to 72 „ ilo. wilts 'O5 67 Ic 76 Per Qr. ..
