wan , 7 ..--- I MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. The last price from Paris this evening was 68f. 30 e., showing a fractional decline. In the foreign exchanges this afternoon bills were more in demand, and the rates generally were slightly lower than last post_ About £lB,OOO in gold was taken to the Bank to-day. The Sara, from Quebec, has brought £13,700. The confirmation of the Federal defeat before Richmond to-day caused a renewed rise in cotton, 'which is now id. per lb. higher than on Friday last. To meet the demand fur steam tonnage to take goods to New York before the new prohibitory American tariff comes into operation, the steamer Edinburgh, of the Inman line, will be despatched as an extra vessel on Thursday next. According to the New York telegrams, the steamer Glasgow will bring about £340,000 in specie to England. The steamer Bremen is due at Southampton from New York on Thursday, and the Arabia at Liverpool on Sunday or Monday, This being the day for the payment of a large number of half-yearly railway dividends —tempo rarily causing an absorption from the private banks —there was more activity in the money-market, and an increased demand at the Bank of England. In the Stock-Exchange the rate for advances remains at 12 per cent. It having been stated that difficulties had arisen in Panama between the govornor of that state and the general government, consequent on the de spatch by Mosquera of 400 men thither, it may re lieve the anxiety of those interested to know that the governor had seen his error, and had consented to the troops taking up their quarters in Panama, his previous objection having arisen from a misap prehension of their object. It was believed that the congress called for next month would result in the pacification of the only dissentient state with out further contention, and business was improving in consequence. Her Majesty's Postmaster -General invites tenders to be lodged by the Ist of November, for the con veyance of the mails between the United Kingdom and the West Indies, or between New York and the IVest ; also for the conveyance of the mails between England and the Brazils and the River Plate. The Royal Mail Steam Company's present contracts for both services, commenced in 1851, pire in December, 1863. CITY NEWS -THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

BlTlON.—Alexander Fraser, a sailor, was charged before Mr Arnold with violently assaulting several police-con stables at the International Exhibition. It appeared from the evidence of 438, that between four and five o'clock the previous afternoon he was at the Inter national Exhibition, when he was called to the French smoking. room by a French waiter, who told him to take the prisoner into custody. The constable found the prisoner who was very drunk, fighting with some men. He asked the prisoner to be quiet and to leave the Exhibition. He refused to go away and struck the constable on the chest. He was obliged to take the prisoner into custody. When he did so, he was pulled down by the prisoner. Chambers, 112 X, came up to the officer's assistanee, when the prisoner gave him a violent blow on his eye. The prisoner kicked him in a most ruffianly manner. Stevens, 245 X, and other• con stables came up, seeing the determined resistance that was made by the prisoner, and it required the united efforts of seven policemen to seize him. He was eventually placed in a cab, and in that was conveyed to the station-house. Chambers said that the blow on his eye was so severe that he was then suffering from the effects of it. The prisoner observed that he was so drunk that he did not know what happened. _ _ Mr. Arnold observed that the conduct of the prisoner was most violent and ruffianly. The prisoner was fined £5, or in default, one month, and he was required to find one surety in £lO to keep the peace for six months, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE—NO HOME.—A young woman named Catherine Keafe was brought before Mr. Knox charged with attempting to commit suicide in the Serpen tine, from which she was fortunately rescued by a park constable named Robertson, by means of the life buoy. Mr. Knox, finding that she had no home to go to, and with the view of taking care of her till it could be seen what could be done for her, sent her to the House of Detention. On being again brought before the magistrate, a letter was handed to him from the chaplain of the House of De tention (Mr. Jepson), stating that if she was sent back for a few days, a female officer should be sent to the court on the next occasion to take her before a committee of ladies, who would probably take her under their care. Mr. Knox sent her back to the House of Detention, for which she seemed very grateful. A COWARDLY RtFFlAN.—Henry Lucas, a general dealer, was charged as follows :—Sergeant Lambert, 12 E, was passing along Oxford-street this morning when he saw the prisoner in company of two females. On coming close up to them, Lambert saw the prisoner strike ono of the fe males, who had a child in her arms, a violent blow, and then turn round and strike the other. Lambert then asked him how he could act in such a cowardly manner, when the prisoner replied, " You can't I do what I like with my own wife." He then told the prisoner he was a police officer, upon which the prisoner said, " Then give you the same," and struck him a severe blow on the eye, blackening it very badly, and then knocked him down and either struck or kicked him in the stomach, the effect of which had been to cause him to spit blood. Sergeant Edward Nightingale, of the G division, having assisted him, they got the prisoner, who had been drinking, to the station. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, to see whether any serious effects might result to the officer from the prisoner's violence. BANK OF LONDON. HALF-YEARLY MEETING-(THIS DAY.) The thirteenth half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Bank of London took place to-day, Sir John Shelley, Bart., M.P., in the chair. The statement of accounts sub mitted to the meeting by the directors showed that the balance of plat at the conclusion of the past half-year amounted to £40,811 3s. After liquidating the current expenses, providing for all bad and doubtful debts, and allowing for rebate of interest on bills disceunted not yet due, there remained for appropriation the sum of £23,592 Os. Id. The directors applied £12,000 to the payment of a dividend at the rate of £8 per cent. per annum, free Of income-tax, and they transferred to the reserve fund the sum of £11,164 3s. 6d., carrying the balance, viz., £428 2s. 7d. to the credit of profit and loss account of the current half year. The suit in Chancery instituted against Mr. Tyrrell having terminated by the confirmation of the decree in favour of the bank, the sum received from the defendant, viz., £5,835165. Bd., stands at the disposal of the directors, who have resolved on transferring it to the reserve fund, which, with the additions made from profit and loss ac count, will then amount to £72,000. The CHAIRMAN, in moving that the report be adopted, said it had been his good fortune to be present at each half•yearly meeting since the bank had been established, and although he had congratulated the shareholders upon the progress and success of their undertaking, his pleasure had never yet been so enhanced as it was regarding the very satisfactory close of the past half-year's business. Ihe operations of the bank had been gradually extended, and the confidence of the public had increased in proportion, and that confi lence was mainly due to a firm belief that the business of the London Bank was conducted with great tact and prudence. At the last meeting he had ventured to predict that an increased dividend might be expected by the shareholders, and it was now his pleasure to an nounce that his anticipations had been realised. This it crease was warranted by the profits made during the last year, and although the directors might previously have made larger distributions,they would not depart from the policy they had laid out at starting, viz., that the dividends should be gradually increased in accordance with the profits, taking care at the same time to have a large reserve fund at their command. He then, as evidence of the bank's progress, stated the gross profits made is each year since 1859, after the establishment of the bank. In 1859 the profits amount ed to £11,683, in 1860 to £53,202, in 1861 they reached £60,602, and in 1862, the present year, to £71,391. Those figures showed what the business and resources of the bank were, and how justified were the directors in augmenting the present dividend. Mr. B. Scott, the chamberlain, after congratulating the meeting upon the satisfactory condition and prospects of the bank, said the figures of the hon. chairman, although correct, might mislead the public, and he would therefore give them the net profit divided and placed to the guarantee fund in each year, which he (Mr. ScoL) believed would be a better illustration of the business transacted. In 1858 the net profits amounted to 6/ per cent., in 1859 to 6f per cent., in 1860 to 10 per cent., in 1861 to 94 per cent., and in 1862 to 151 per cent. The report was unanimously adopted, and a vote passed warmly appreciating the services of the directors and officers of the establishment. The dividend will be payable on and after Thursday, the 24th inst. LONDON AND WES7MINSTER BANK MEETING THIS DAY. A meeting took place to-day of the London and West minster Bank proprietors, Mr. Alderman Sb.lomons, M.P., in the chair, when the directors' report was unanimously adopted. It stated that, after making provision for all bad and doubtful debts—paying the Income Tax,—and setting apart £2,000 towards the buildings of the bank, —the net profits of the bank for the last half-year amounted to £121,538 4s. 3d. This sum, added to £5,633 Bs. 10d., the unappropriated balance of the preceding half-year, then amounted to £127,171 13s. Id. Out of this amount, interest on the Rest, or Surplus Fund, at the rate of five per cent. per annum (£6,250) had been added to that fund, which now amounts to £256,250. The directors declared a divi • dend to the shareholders at the rate of six per cent. per annum, and by way of further dividend out of the profits a bonus of seven per cent on the paid-up capital. The CHAIRMAN, in the course of a few observations, remarked that the Bank continued in its satisfactory career. The deposits for the past six months had diminished nearly half a million, but it would be found that at the present moment they were equal to those of last year. The directors, with the concurrence of the proprietors, awarded the sum of £l,OOO to the distressed poor in Lancashire. VARIETIES. (From Fun.)

The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. WYNN, who was introduced by Lord Hotham and Mr. Omby Gore, took the oaths and his seat on his election for Montgomeryshire. NIGHT POACHING PREVENTION BILL. Sir B. LEIGHTON briefly proposed the second reading of this bill. Mr. MAIN WARING second the motion. Sir G. GREY said he was surprised at the second read. ing of this bill being thus proposed, as it had been printed only that day. He considered that such a measure should have the fullest consideration. The bill increased to a very considerable extent the strengthening of the g ame l aw ; and gave the police very arbitrary powers in de taining persons suspected ~of the unlawful possession of fire-arms or game. It did not, however, define what con stituted unlawful possession, which was left to individual judgment. He trusted that the house, while he admitted that the subject required the attention of legislation, would agree with him that it was one which required great con sideration. He was not aware that there were any cir cumstances which required the passing of a bill like the present, which, on the face of it, was, hastily framed. His attention had been directed to the subject last year, by the receipt of a memorial from 28 chief constables, stating that they were most anxious that the services of the police should not be required directly or indirectly in the preservation of game. (Hear.) He then called for a return, which was furnished, and from which it appeared that, ac cording to the statement of ten chief constables, the murders arising out of poaching affrays for two years amounted to nil. (Hear, hear.) It could not, however, be denied that in two or three counties there were frequent collisions between gamekeepers and poachers. Having re ferred to the existing game laws, the conflicting judicial decisions arising out of the game laws, he analysed in detal the provisions of the bill and concluded by appealing to the hon. baronet to withdraw it for the present. Sir H. STRACY said that the arguments of the right hon. baronet (Sir G. Grey) was intended to throw ridicule on the bill. He had considerable experience on this sub ' jeot, having acted for several years as a magistrate, and he considered that it was desirable to extend the powers of the police, and he referred to the statements of certain competent persons to show the extent of poaching and the desperate character of persons engaged in that pursuit. It appeared that several of those poachers were men who had been convicted thieves, and some of them had been sentenced to penal servitude. In some in stances persons were detected in the possession of hares and pheasants whose insides were stuffed with silver forks and knives. (Laughter.) In the re turns that were made to the Home-office there was no reference made to the poaching committed out of season, and according to judicial statistics the crime had considerably increased. He contended that by the course the right hon. baronet (Sir G. Grey) pursued he was throwing the mantle of protection over poachers—(Oh, oh) and by doing so, over thieves (Oh, oh.) He thought the police were the most proper body to suppress poaching, and the right hon. baronet (Sir G. Grey), by not introducing or supporting a curative measure, would be responsible for any murders arising out of poaching this year. Mr. FOSTER opposed the bill, which he considered would convert policemen into gamekeepers, By the pre sent law they were compelled to abstain from interference in the preservation of game. THAMES. DARING ROBBERY AT A FUNERAL.—John Cruger, a sullen-looking blackguard, aged 20, and describing himself as a hawker, from that notorious thieves' coloily Rent street, Spitalfields, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing a silver watch, value 20 guineas, from the person of Captain John Lewis, of Reed. street terrace, Hull. Yesterday afternoon, at half-past four o'clock, the funeral of the murdered woman Scannell was passing along the Mile• end-road towards the Tower Hamlets Cemetery, and an immense number of persons were collected. Several gentlemen lost their watches, and many ladies lost their purses in the crowd. Captain Lewis, who was accompanied by his wife and a little girl his daughter, felt a tug at his guard chain, and his watch disappeared in a n instant. The prisoner was running away with it, and the prosecutor seized him. The prisoner struggled with Captain Lewis, who was compelled to let go, and he fell against a shop window and cut his hand and wrist severely. The prisoner then ran away. He was pursued through the crowd by Geor ge Japes, a labourer, who "made a grab at him," seized him, and, in spite of the efforts of many determined ruffians to rescue Lim, held him till other assistance was afforded by Henry Carroll, of Ito. 25, Mile-end-road, and several other persons. Mrs. Louisa Lewis, wife of the prosecutor, seized the thief as be was running away with her husband's watch, but he eluded her grasp and got away. The watch was not recovered. The prisoner, in defence, said he did not take the watch. Mr. Woolrych—l have no doubt you did. Why did you run away ? I believe you stole the watch. I sentence you to be imprisoned for two months for being in the Mile end-road for the purpose of committing a fe►ony. MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK LANE. There was a very small supply of English wheat on sale here to-day. The trade, however, was very inactive, yet no change of importance took place in prices. compared with Monday. The show of foreign wheat was somewhat extensive. In nearly all descriptions sales progressed slowly, and in some instances the quotations ruled the turn in favour of buyers. Floating cargoes of pain a slow sale, on former. terms, Barley—owing to increased foreign arrivals —was rather less active; nevertheless, good and fine qualities commanded extreme rates. Malt changed hands steadily, at Monday's currency. For oats there was a tolerably active demand, at fully previous rates. The supply on offer Was by no means ex tensive. Beans and peas were very firm, and prices were well supported. Flour was in moderate request, and the quotations ruled firm. ARRIVALS THIS WEER.. Wheat. Barley. Ma4)lt. Oats. Flour.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S OPINION OF THE ENGLISH CAVALRY.—A day or two aft er our arr i va l i n Paris from Waterloo, Colonel Felton Hervey having entered the dining-room with the despatches which had come from Lon ion, the Duke asked, What news h ave you, H ervey ?" upon which Colonel Felton Hervey answered, " I observed by the Gazette that the Prince Regent has made himself C a pt a in General of the Life Guards and Bl ues, f or t h e i r brilliant conduct at Waterloo." "Ah I " replied the Duke, "his Royal Highness is ou r Soverei g n, and can do what he pleases ; but this I will say, the cavalry of other European armies have won victories for their generals, but mine have invariably got me into scrapes. It is true that they have always fought gallantly and bravely, and have generally got themselves out 9f their difficulties by sheer pluck." The justice of this observation has since been confirmed by the ch.trge at Balaklava, where our cavalry undauntedly rushed into the face of death under the command of that intrepid officer, Lord Cardigans—Reminiscences of Captai n Oronow.

The Weston Super-Mare Pier,Vale of Neath, and Edin burgh, Perth, and Dunde9, &e., Railway bills were read a third time and passed. POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL. The Duke of NEWCASTLE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to dispense with what is called the quarter-acre clause, thus assimilating the Irish with the English poor law. Another alteration was with respect to the admission of destitute sick into the hospitals and the placing of orphans or destitute children out to nurse. The Earl of CLANCARTY was anxious to make a few observations, as be considered the bill a very important one for Ireland. With respect to the rating clause, he thought union rating ought to be adopted as a general principle, and as to the abolishing the quarter clause he was quite convinced that it was a wise and judicious step. The alteration with the medical charities was also a step in the right direction; but the clauses introducing bastardy laws in Ireland was altogether a novelty. He had, however, considered the question, and he could not but come to the conclusion that it was a very just step, because, as the present law stood it acted most severely upon the female, and almost gave the saducer immunity for the wrong ho had inflicted. With respect to the educational clauses for poor deserted children, he thought some attention to the bill was necessary. The Earl of LEITRIM opposed the bill on the ground that it unduly favoured Roman Cotholic pretentious, and moved as an amendment that it be read a second time that day three months. After some debate, in which the Earl of Bandon, Vis count Dungannon, Lord Monteagle, and the Earl of Desart took part, the amendment was withdrawn, and the bill read a second time. The Investment and Provident Societies Bill was read a second time. The Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Act Amendment Bill, the Jurisdiction in Homicides Bill, the Coal Mines Bill, and the Chancery Regulation (Ireland) Bill were severally read a third time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after twelvs o'clock. PAROCHIAL ASSESSMENT BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, resuming at clause 26, which, with some verbal amendments, was agreed to. Clause 27 was agreed to. On clause 28, which relates to the valuation of Govern ment property, an amendment was agreed to by which boards of guardians were empowered to make the property of the Government contribute to the common fund. On clause 32, which provides for the payment of expenses incurred for returns ordered by the overseers, and for com pensation, Mr. AYRTON moved an amendment to the effect that such payments should have the sanction of the board of guardians. Another amendment was also proposed, but both were negatived, and the clause was agreed to. The remaining clauses with some amendments were agreed to. Mr. HONES moved a clause giving power for unions under Gilbert's or local acts to be included in this act, which was agreed to. Mr. AYRTON moved a clause providing that the pro ceedings of the assessment committees under this act should be conducted in public. Mr. KNIGHT seconded the clause, which was opposed by Sir B. Leighton and Mr. Villiers, and supported by Mr. Bruce and Sir J. Shelley. The committee divided— For the clause Against it 63 Majority .............. —113500 m. The clause was lost, and the bill passed throng mittee. LUNATICS LAW AMENDMENT BILL. The house went into committee of progress on this bill. Clauses 4 and 5 were struck out, and clauses up to 17 were agreed to. Mr. KEKEWICH proposed to add to clause 18—" Pro vided always that no pauper lunatics, when there . are more than 10 in number, be kep t in a workhouse except in a separate ward or detache d building, and with distinct at tendance." Sir G. GREY said that in many cases there could b e no out such arrangements. facilities for carrying The proviso was withdrawn and the clause agreed to. Some further progress was made in the bill, and at tour o'clock the sitting was suspended. At six o'clock the house resumed. Mr. VV, E. FORSTER gave notice that, in the event of Mr. Lindsay's motion in favour of acknowledging the inde pendence of the Confederate States becoming a substantive mo tion, he should propose as an a mendment, that the house wou ld cordially support her Majesty in the policy of non intervention in the civil war now being waged in America. In reply to Mr. ADDERLEY Mr. C. FORTESCUE stated that the Canadian Parlia ment had been prorogued without raising the force of the acting militia, trained and clothed at the expense of the Canadian Government,_ bey on d . ten thousand men — t he number originally proposed by the late Ministrybeing fifty thousand. I t Should be remembered, however, that every Canadian cap a bl e o f b ear i ng arms was liable to be called out in case of danger ; and in such an emer gency there would be no difficulty in raising a large force of men accustomed to the use of fire-arms, and he had no doubt that they would come forward with the greatest spirit and alacrity. No answer had been sent by the Cana dian Government to the offer of a British guarantee of 4 per cent. interest to their railway loan of £3,000,000, made by the Duke of Newcastle, in s ubstitution for their original proposal that they should aid this country in undertaking their railway. In answer to Mr. LAIRD, Sir G. C. LEWIS said that arrangements had been made for the removal of the Horsfall gun from Southsea to Shoe buryness, for experimental purposes. Sir M. FARQUAR asked whether there was any truth in the reports that 700 British troops had been surroan ded at Kanding by the Taepings and that reinforce ments were , ex pected in China of nati ve troops from I n dia Mr. LAYARD replied that tilt, latest dispatches fro m China made no allusion to such an occurre nce, but con firmed the report s appearing i n t i le newspapers relative to the capture of Ningpo, and the death of the French Ad miral Protet. Lord R. MONTAGU, in moving an address to her Ma jesty, praying her to give directions for supplying those deficiencies in the former instructions furnished to Sir C. Wyke and Capt. DunloP,iwhich resulted in the signing, by her Majesty's plenipotentiari es at Puebla, of a convention now repudiated by her Majesty's Government at home, criticised at some length, and with considerable severity, the !policy of the Government in reference to Mexican affairs, and especiallly their co - operation with France in the late expedition, which, so far as this country was con cerned, appeared to have been undertaken for the purpose of enforcing the claims of the British bondholders. Mr. tLAYARD defended the course which had been adopted by her Majesty's Government, and observed that, besides the claims of the bondholders, there were demands for outrages and other claims to be enforced, and that throughout the whole of the negociations they had care- fully avoided mixing up with them any bondholders' claims except those which had been ratified by convention with the Mexican Government. lie also argued that, if we had not united with France and Spain in prosecuting hostilitie s against Mexico the probability was that there might have been a rupture of the friendly relations with those two powers. He denied that we had deserted the French, and justified the Spaniards in following the example of England, and withdrawing from the country when they found that it was the object of the French to create a Mexican King in opposition to the wishes of the people. Mr. S. FITZGERALD said that the only satisfactory thin?: about this Mexican affair was that her Majesty's Government had been forced, in spite of themselves to withdraw from the contest. He granted that the outrages perpetrated upon British subjects rendered it almost im possible for them to avoid taking some decidad steps in vindicating the honour and the name of England ; but he found great fault with the manner in which the Government thought it necessary to carry out the operation. The complaint he had to make of them was that if, when they entered into a convention with France and Spain, they did not know that the object of these powers was to interfere actively in the internal affairs of Mexico, they were the only persons in Europe who were in that state of ignorance, the fact being, however, that, through the declaration of M. Thouvenel and the Marquis de Corrientes, they had the most distinct warning that. it was the intention of France and Spain so to interfere with. a view to establishing a new form of government in Mexico. lie also thought that her Majesty's Government were amenable to blame for having entered into a convention with these powers whilst they were ignorant of what were the claims for the enforcement of which they andertook to be parties. The present position of affairs was as un satisfactory as it could be ; and all that could be said in its favour was that it was better than had been expected a short time ago. The hon. gentleman concluded by expressing the hope that, whatever might be the course of evants, this country would not be found in opposition to the Liberal party in Mexico; thus giving a chance to the enemies of freedom and of free institutions of again raising their heads and establishing one of the vilest governments that had ever existed on the face of the earth. The discussion was continued by Mr. KINGLAKE, who was in the act of addressing the house, when an hon. member noticed that forty members were not present. The house was then counted out. FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST EVENING. FOREIGN-OFFICE, JULY 15, The following correspondence has taken place between Earl Russell, her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and his Excellency the Count de Flahault, Am bassador of his Majesty the Emperor of the French, re specting an alleged infraction of the Ist Article of the Con vention between Great Britain and France, of the 7th of March, 1857, relative to Portendick and Albreda THE COUNT DE FLAHAIILT TO EARL RUSSELL. Albert- gate, July 8, 1862. My Lord,—l am directed by the Government of the Em peror to inform your Excellency of the following fact, which took place before Portendick in the month of May last, and which constitutes an infraction of the lst Article of the Convention of March 7, 1857, relative to Portendick and Albreda. It is there stipulated that the Government of her Britannic Majesty gives up the right which treaties have hitherto allowed to subjects of her Britannic Majesty to trade between the mouth of the river St. John and the bay and fort of Portendick, inclusive. It appears from information which has reached the French Government, that an English vessel attempted, in the month of May last, to form commercial relations with the Moors, and to persuade the Sheikh of the Trazars to receive next year two English vessels which are to arrive for the purpose of establishing one or two landing places on the coast. The Imperial Government has no doubt that her Ma jesty's Government will take the necessary steps to pre vent the repetition of similar occurrences.—Receive, &c., (Signed) FLAHAULT. The Earl Russell.

I have the honour to assure your Excellency, in reply to voui representation that the convention to which your Excellency refers will be faithfully observed, so far as may depend upon her Majesty's Government; and i shall not fail to communicate to the proper departments of her Majesty's Government the statements contained in your Excellency's letter.—l have, &e., (Signed) RUSSELL.
