'I MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. An instalment of 10 per cent. fell due to-day on the Italian (Maremmana Railway) Loan for £1,338,000. The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks will commence on Friday ("continuation day") and terminate on Mondry. The amount of gold taken to the Bank to-day was £17,000. The Delta will take on the 27th inst. £26,339 in gold and £34,240 in silver for Bombay. The position of the cotton trade is becoming more serious and complicated than ever. Specu lators are rushing eagerly into the Liverpool mar ket, where extreme excitement prevails. The transactions to-day comprised fully 25,000 bales, of which one-half was taken on speculation and for export. Prices were quoted not less than 11d., and in some instances, ltd. per lb. higher than on Friday. The weather being apparently somewhat more settled, the wheat market to-eay was dull. The traffic of the metropolitan railways is now being a good deal raised by the influx of country people to the Exhibition. The London and North- Western return shows this week an increase of £9,364 ; the Great Northern, an increase of £2,809 the Great Western, an increase of £6,846; and the London and South-Western, an increase of £ 5 , 593 . The annual meeting of the Netherlands Land Enclosure Company is called for the 31st July. The Master of the Rolls proposes on the Tth July to settle the list of contributories of the Agricul turist Cattle Insurance Company. There was a relapse of about per cent, in the afternoon in the India 5 per Cent. stock, which, after having marked 1091, closed at 109 to 4. The rupee paper was inquired for. Exchequer Bills were firm at Os. to 10s. prem. The discount market continues easy, and the supply of money is evidently increased by the be lief that it will not be possible to keep the rates at their present point much longer. Good short hills were taken to-day at 2Z and 2 4 1 per cent. At the Bank of England Di scount-office the applications were very limited. The news given yesterday of an advance in the exchange at New York to 118 is confirmed. Here great depression prevails in the market for Ameri can securities, a n d prices are falling, great anxiety being felt with regard to the course of affairs in America. stock It a pp e ars that th e £5 ,000,00 0 o f P or t uguese , o which ; Lt is proposed to place by a single peration, w ill complete the amount which the Government has b een authorised by the C ortes to issue, for making railways and roads. It has been kno wn for some time past that this amount has been han ging over the market, and considerable P a rcels have been placed from time to time by the Government agents. The course now about to be adopted is certainly the more open one. The loan probably be issued in London and Amsterdam. At Paris to-day the 3 per Cent.

Of the £360,000 of gold on its way to Europe from America by the Saxonia and New York, the larger portion is believed to be for England, and as there is at present no inquiry far specie for the Continent, these arrivals, together with any other that may bike place, are likely to find their way to the Bank ,where, but for the temporary withdrawal Of sovereigns that will occur on the payment of the dividends, the total might soon be expected to re turn to the high point attained at the beginning of l ast month, CITY NEWS---THIS DAY .

Mr. John Rennie, in a letter to a contemporary, says :—" I have seen with much pleasure, in the "Naval and Military" article of your journal of this day, that, in their report on Portsmouth harbour of last month, Messrs. Taylor and Davis, masters of Royal Navy, say—' In the fair-way channel there is a depth of 17 ft. at low water of spring tides, of 27 ft. at high water of neap tides, and of 30 ft. at high water of spring tides ;' and that the report also states that there are no indications of travelling shingle, that the sides of the cut have not caved in, and there are no symptoms,to render it prudent to desist from dredging a still deeper channel. On the contrary, there is every encouragement to dredge at once for a depth of 20 ft. at lower water of spring tides, or 30 ft. at high water of neaps. To effect this the shingle forming the bar will have to be removed at an average depth of 2 ft. 4 in., which gives about 41,000 cubic yards for dredging, the esti mated cost of which would be about £3,500' The above successful result completely establishes the correctness of the opinion contained in the report of the late Joseph Whielbey, Captain Foulerton, of the Trinity-house, Mr. Ralph Walker, and myself, to the Admiralty, dated the 16th of January, 1823, wherein we recommended that the above shoal, at the entrance of Portsmouth harbour, should be re moved by dredging, which, unfortunately, was not adopted for many years afterwards. Portsmouth harbour may be still further greatly improved by adopting the plan set forth in the report of Mr. Johh Murray and myself to the Admiralty, dated the 27th of January last—namely, by constructing a properly-designed sluice with locks across the entrance of Langston harbour, so that the vast addi tional quantity of tidal water contained in Langston harbour may be diverted at pleasure to any extent required through Portsmouth harbour, and thus, combined with the operation of dredging, net only the bar but the whole of the harbour in front of the dockyard may be scoured out and deepened to a much greater extent—which is required for the general purposes of the navy at Portsmouth." The Algerian journals state that last week. a violent shock of earthquake, which lasted about three seconds, took place at Relizane, in the provineei‘f - Oran, the noise made resembling that of a train entering a tun nel. Bottles and other utensils were thrown down from the shelves in the hoases, the wainscots disjointed, and the v h,:oc v . L i. ° w , A ns net-inched. A number of houses were cracked, and among them the barracks of the Gendarmes. The direction of the movement appeared to be from the south-west to the south-east, that is, coming from Mascara. Since the morning, the sky had been cloudy and the wea ther close. A Breslau letter states that lately, at the theatre of that place, when Schiller's " Maid of Orleans" was being performed, the words of Dunois, "The nation is base that does not sacrifice all to honour," here hailed with enthu siastic acclamations; and on the declaration of Charles VII., that " Kings hold their crowns only by the grace of God," being uttered, 50 or 60 students burst out into a loud fit of laughter. Advices from Warsaw state that the whole of the railway is new open from that city to St. Petesburg, and trains run regularly between those two places. THE SHEFFIELD CEMETERY DISCLOSURES.— Isaac Howard, the sexton at Wardsend Cemetery, was again brought before the Sheffield bench, yesterday, on the charge of disinterring bodies. Fresh evidence having been adduced, Howard said—l acted entirely under Mr. Livesey's directions—(sensation)—and never otherwise. In the latter part of 1861, Mr. Livesey told me to disinter the bodies of those interred in 1857 and 1858, and remove them into the catacomb. These were all children. Mr. Livesey entered all the bodies that were disinterred in the register, and the books will explain where they came from. I believe Mr. Livesey did this under the belief that all the children had gone to dust. I disinterred these bodies with all the care I could. The books will show how many were removed and who they are. The prisoner was committed for trial. Bail was allowed—the prisoner's own recog nisances in £2OO, and two sureties in £lOO each. The Bohemia of Prague of the 20th says:— " Having been the first to speak of the application made by the Prince of Croy-Chanel to the Cardinal Primate, we have just been officially informed that the Emperor Francis Joseph has ordered that the mortal remains of the old King of Hungary, of the race of the Arpad, Bela 111., and his wife, Anna Commene, shall be suitably deposited in the cathedral of Buda. We cannot too highly commend this religious determination of the head of the house of Haps burg, who thus gives satisfaction to a national feeling." " I have turned many a woman's head," boasted a young nobleman of France. "Yes," replied Talleyrand, " away from you."

PROGRESS OF TELEGRAPHY. —A plan for the better detection and prevention of crime in Ireland has been laid, within the last few days, before the Irish exe cutive. It is proposed to connect the police barracks of Ireland by telegraphic wires, thereby enabling the consta bulary to encircle any district where a crime is committed the moment information reaches them. Agrarian and other offences are generally perpetrated by strangers hired from a distance, who at present have trme to escape back to their own districts before they can be intercepted by the police, hence the necessity of' a rapid communication between the police barracks. For this purpose mounted constabulary are kept at present at a cost of about £40,000 per annum whose services, it is assumed, might be dispensed with by the substitution of telegraphic wire, which can be laid at a very small expense compared with that incurred for the 1 horse police. . 1 .~~ THE SUN LONDON, rfIURSD EVENIIO, JUNE 26, 1562.

BOW-STREET. Margaret Wallis and Anna Cook were charged with stealing an emerald ring, the property of Lewis Prevot. The prosecutor said—About balf•past five o'clock this morning he met the prisoners near Leicester-square, and after a short conversation he accompanied them to a public house in Covent-garden, where be paid for some refresh ment for the two girls. While they were standing in front of the bar, Wallis admired his emerald ring, when he took it from his finger and gave it to her to look at. He saw the ring on the finger of Wallis, and, as she appeared dis inclined to return it, he asked her for it. She still refused to part with the ring, and he proceeded to try to take it from her. The prisoner Conk was standing close to Wallis, and she said to her, "You know you've got the ring, why don't you give it up ?" The ring, however, disappeared, and he then charged the prisoners with stealing it. It was worth at least XS. The police-constable who took • the prisoners in charge said he heard Cook tell the other prisoner to give up the ring. The ring had not been found. Cook was then discharged, and afterwards called into the witness-box. On being sworn, she said she saw the ring on Wallis's finger, and heard her refuse to give it up. The prisoner said she returned the ring to the proseeu cuter in about five minutes after he gave it her. The prisoner was committed. Mary Hudson, a servant out of place, was charged with stealing a brooch. _ The assistant to Mr. Jones, a jeweller in the Lowther Arcade, said as he was closing the shop last evening, the prisoner came and asked the price of some cameo brooches. He slowed her some worth about 205., when, after looking at the articles, she asked to be shown some at Is. 6d. She eventually left the shop, and he their discovered that she had stolen one of the brooches first shown to her. He fol lowed her, and on taking her back to the shop, she took the brooch produced from her pocket, saying, " You can't say that's yours." It was the one he had missed from the tray. The prisoner admitted stealing the brooch, and the ma gistrate sent her to prison for two months, with hard labour. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. IiORME TORTURE.—CAUTION TO DRIVIRS.-Mr. Frodk. Clarke, proprietor of omnibus 7,057, plying to and from the Exhibition, Brompton, was summoned by Mr. Love, the chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to produce the driver of the omnibus on the charge of torturing a horse. The evidence of Davis and Choyce, two of the Royal Society's officers, went to show that they, with other officers, were on duty on the 19th inst, in Piccadilly and the Brompton-road watching the omniLuses going to and from the Exhibition, when they saw the defendant driving an omnibus laden with passengers, and from the restless way in which one of the horses was working they were induced to stop it, and on examining the horse they found a large running wound on its shoulder. The defendant said he was not aware the wound was so bad. Defendant said the horse was a capital one, very fat, and that the wound was an old one, but the pad had slipped and revived it. Mr. Clarke was not in the habit of sending out horses in an unfit state. The defendant was fined 55., and casts, with a caution that the next time it would be 40s. The magistrate re marked that drivers looked on horses as bits of machinery, and as long as they would go didn't care. THE ROBBERY AT AN AUCTION-ROOl4.—A man, who refused his name and address, charged with stealing a china vase and bronze match .pot from the works of Messrs. Christie, auctioneers, King-street, St. James's, was again brought up. The prisoner offered the matchpot for sale to Mr. Wm. Wareham, the well-known dealer in antiquities and curio sities in Castle-street, Leicester-square, but Mr. Wareham, having previously bought a china vase of him, and which he afterwards discovered had been stolen in the auction rooms, and immediately restored tO Messrs. Christie, he detained the prisoner and gave him into custody. Mr. Edward Lewis appeared for the prisoner, and ad dressed the magistrate on the prisoner's behalf, and called a witness who gave him a very good character prior to this charge. The prisoner was committed for a month with hard labour for unlawful possession. , WESTMINSTER. IMPROPER APPREHENSION OF A POOR MAN BY THE POLlCE.—Thomas Jones, a man having the appearance of a stable-helper, was charged with obstructing the police in the execution of their duty: Police-constable Fulford, 316 E, said that last night the defendant caused an obstruction outside Cremorno-gardens by calling a cab out of the middle of the street. Mr. Arnold—What did he call it for ? Policeman—For two ladies and a gentleman. Mr. Arnold—ls there any harm in that ? Policeman—lt obstructs the working of the rank. Mr. Arnold-1 don't untlergand yuu, lum afraid. Do you say that the act of which you complain against this man is that he called a cab for two ladies and a gentleman who were at Cremorne ? Policeman—Yes, that is correct, sir ; this man and others, who are there of a night, are a great nuisance. Mr. Arnold—ln what respect ? Policeman—There are several of them ; and if they see ladies and gentlemen coming out of the gardens they run and get a cab for them. Mr. Arnold—Then your complaint against this man is that he is of great public convenience, and I cannot under stand what the cause of complaint can be. Policeman—They cause an obstruction, and prevent the cabs going up to the gate in a proper way. This man took the cab from the middle of the rank, which prevented its working fairly. Mr. Arnold—What difference is there between this man and another ? Everybody has a right to pick a cab from the middle of the rank if he pleases, and of course while per sons are getting into it there is necessarily an obstruction for the moment. Would you have taken a gentleman into custody for so calling a cab ? Policeman—No, sir, I should not. Mr. Arnold—Then I discharge him. You had no right to take him into custody. I cannot make out the slightest offence against the prisoner; it was perfect nonsense to charge him. THE YELVERTON CASE. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, EDINBURGH. JUNE 25.

STATE OF THE POLL-ONE O'CLOCK THIS DAY. Joins ........ Lawrence . . . Nissen 202 HORRIBLE MURDER IN CANADA. (From the Hastings Chronicle.) To the attention of A. F. Wood, Esq., we are indebted for the following particulars of an atro cious murder on the Hastings Road:—. MADON, May 30. Mr. Finlayson has just come in from the town ship of Monteagle after the coroner, to investigate one of the most outrageous murders that has taken place in this section of country. The circum stances of the case as related by Mr. Finlayson (a very respectable man, by the way) are as fol lows:—On Tuesday last a:Mr. Munroe, a resident of Monteagle (a township on the Hastings Road, about 70 miles from this place), went to his neigh bour, a Mr. Edward, to expostulate with him for shooting his hens. Edward told him he would shoot them if they came on his grain again and took his gun and went out for that purpo3e. Munro seized hold of the gun to prevent his shooting. Edward drew a pistol from a side pocket and pre sented it at Munroe, who knocked it out of his hand and called on his son to pick it up. While the scuffle was going on, Edward's wife stole up behind Munroe and struck him over the head with a sycthe, cutting through the skull into the brain! Munroe fell, upon which she struck him again, almost severing his arm from his body. Munroe died in a few minutes. Edward then wrenched the pistol from Munroe's son and shot him in the hack, making a frightful wound. When Finlayson left, young Munroe's life was despaired of. It was with the greatest exertion that the people in the neighbourhood were prevented from lynching Edward and his wife. Munroe is a man of very good character, and gene rally respected. Edward ‘nd wife, on the other hand, have been the cause of much trouble to the settlement since they resided there, and were not only very much disliked, but also very much feared. On his way out Finlayson stopped at Mr. Jelley's (Reeve of Tudor), who immediately with several of his neighbours, started on to arrest Edward and his wife. Dr. Yeomans, coroner, will leave in the morning for the purpose of holding an inquest, and investi gating the matter. Finlayson says the excitement is very great in the immediate neighbourhood. It is a most horrible affair, and it is to be hoped the guilty parties will be brought to justice. 45 47 34 36 821 83 WS 07 98 100 6 r 384 asi 81 91 P 6 64 p 145 148 554 5131 24 34 d ip 88 90 134 138 12.10 61 7} 44 46 39 41 87 89 LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

I MPE R L PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The United Kingdom Electric Telegraph Conipmq (Lords) was cJnsidered; and the Dover Rocianiation Bill was read a socond time. PETI LIONS. Some petitions were presented against the Tramways Bill, the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors, and a large number from different parts of the United Kingdom against the Burial Bill. INNS OF COURT GOVERNMENT BILL. Sir G. BOWYER, on moving the second reading of this bill; gave a very interesting and erudite account of the origin, progress, and government of the four Inns of Court, comprising the Temple, Lincoln's.inn, and Gray's-inn. He said it had been contended that as these societies were of a voluntary character there should be no interference in their management. The duties of the benchers were very important, because they held the keys of admission to the bar, which was frequently the stepping stone to some of the most elevated political offices. Such being the case, and h3lding property as they did under the Crown, he considered that these institutions should be amenable to the control of Parliament. He alluded to the case of an eminent barrister who had attained to the dignity of Queen's counsel, and who some time back had been ro fused to be called to tho bench by the benchers of one of the inns of court. The inns were subject to the visitation of the judges, to whom the gentleman in question appealed, and they investigated his case. He was unable, however, to obtain any redress, for the judges reported that the benchers of the Inner Temple, tho institution in question, had a right to regulate the number of those whom they should call to the bench, but at the same time they recommended that they should not exercise their privilege too stringently. No doubt his hon. and learned friend behind him (Mr. Bovill), who had under taken the defence of these inns, would quote the authority of the commissioners who sat in 1845, and like Cicero, pro domo sue, make an eloquent oration on the class of which he was a member. It must be remembered that the com missioners were either benchers, or were expecting to be come so; but, at the same time, they suggested that there might be improvement in the management of these insti tution. He did not for an instant impute to the benchers any improper application of the funds entrusted to their care ; but not only did he object to the arbitrary power of the benchers, but he contended that there had been extrava gance in regard to what were called the embellishments of the Inner Temple. Some of these ornaments, as they were called, were of a most ridiculous character ; and, as an in • stance of this, he alluded to a statue of a knight templar in the Inner Temple, who was represented with a bridle in his right hand and flourishing a sword in his left. (Laughter.) The chief object of this bill was to extend a control over the admission of students to the members of the inns generally, and to give them also other functions which were now monopolised by the benchers. Mr. COLLIER moved, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day three months. He believed that, with the exception of Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, the persons whose cases had been tried before the benchers desired the secrecy which it was now proposed to abolish. In the case of Mr. Edwin James, so far from his objecting to the jurisdiction of the benchers, he (Mr. Edwin James) wrote to the benchers to say that he had been calum niated, and that he would be able to disprove the charges that had been brought against him. But Mr. James never required that the proceedings should be published. The benchers asked Mr. James if he wished to hhve any number of his friends present during the inves tigation, and a shorthand writer attended by the direction, not of Mr. James, but of the bonchers. A printed copy of the evidence, which had been taken down fully, was sup plied to Mr. James, who said that if the benchers would not decide in his case he would retire from the practice of the bar in this country. He never heard any journal or any person assert that the conduct of the benchers was unjust in the case of Mr. James. As regarded another barrister, who was a mem ber of the house, he was not present at the investigation of his case, but no doubt there were friends of his who were, and who would no doubt give explanation. Mr. ROEB LICK seconded the amendment. Mr. CRAUFORD considered that the bill . ought to ba read a second time, in order that it might be discussed in committee. Mr. M. SMITH opposed the bill. Mr. IV I.LTER suggested the withdrawal of the bill for the present. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the bill. Ho said that there had been no representation or petition from the legal body in favour of this bill, and from the frequent communion which took place between the members of that profession, ho thought he would have become acquainted with the fact if they were favourable to the measure. Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR said be was placed in a situa tion of great difficulty, If he remained silent those who read the reports of this debate might put an unjust con struction on that silence. However painful to him this dis suasion must be, he was glad to think that it would result in some benefit by bringing the subject of this bill before the house. He hoped that the hen, and learned baronet would not retire from this measure without promising that ho would bring the subject before the house. He did not .5.2.1 r ill at f• aystom Weui Oath ithiaer which no one can obtain impartial justice. After referring to the charges brought against him, the hen. gentleman said the whole matter would be brought before a judge and jury, and if the house thought it necessary to vindicate his character as being entitled to retain his seat as a member of Parliament, he would be happy if a committee were ap pointed to investigate the charges that had been brought against him. Mr. BOVILL, as one of the benchers of the Middle Temple, who had adjudicated on the case of the hon. and learned member, said they were bound to institute an in quiry into the charges that were preferred against him. The hon. and learned member had been accused of defraud ing Mr, Parker of £5OO, and allowed judgment to go by default. When Mr, Parker heard that the hon. and learned member denied the correctness of the transaction between them, he offered to let the matter be tried by a jury. Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR-1 accepted the challenge. Mr. BOVILL—The judgment was still on the file. Mr. SEYMOUR was understood to dissent from this statement. Mr. BOVILL then entered into some further details tending to incriminate Mr. Digby Seymour. Alter some further discussion, Sir G. Bowyer withdrew the bill. The house then went into committee on h ou se resumed. and clauses 1 to 7 were agreed to, andthe juries Bill, he I was discharged.

THE_ GREAT DOG SHOW. The attendance up to 5 o'clock last evening at the N e w Agricultural Hall, Islin g t on , was very numerous and highly aristocratic. The dogs that attracted the greatest attention were those, in most instances, to which a prize had been awarded, and the justness of the awards appeared to be univer sally admitted. The English mastiff seemed to be regarded as a general favourite w ith th e gent l emen present, but the " toy" or sma ll d og d i v i sion rece i ved t h e su pport of the ladies. N o . 553, a beautiful little wh ite animal, whi c h might almost be placed in a la d y 's slipper, excited universal admiration. One lady who appeared to have taken a decided fancy to the pretty little creature, gently hinted to the fine specimen of Young Englandism that accompanied her, " that it was just the sort of thing she would like above all others ;" but his reply to this appeal was merely, " Ab, ycs, but it's no good at rats;" and he good naturedly proceeded to point out the beauties of some of the other animals. The black and tan and King Charles' spanie l° were greatly and deservedly admired, for dertaialY finer specimens have seldom if ever been seen ee of This day and two following day s the P" dance admission will be ls. , and a ve r y large I,tt inbition may very fairly be calculated on , as the ex, a is perfectly unique, and one well wert.byeeet 0I ~v' visit.
