MONEY MARKET. CITY NE W S—YESTERDAY. Tile scrip of the new Portuguese Loan continues in demand, and is still rising steadily. The price has now reached 11 to 2 prem. It appears that there was an inaccuracy in the statement circulated yesterday with regard to the amount of the sub scription, which was £16,000,000, and not £20,000,000, up to last evening, The list was closed this day at 11 o'clock. The total applied for is about £21,000,000, and as the amount of stock offered for subscription (exclusive of the £500,000 taken prior to the issue of the loan, and of the £500,000 reserved for Lisbon) was £4,000,000, it follows that the London list represents more than five times the amount of stock to be allotted. Telegrams from Lisbon announce, moreover, that " before the Lisbon Bank advertisement of the loan was published, applications were made there in excess of the £500,000 reserved for Portugal." Some of the disappointed applicants in Lisbon will perhaps be glad to buy the stock here. It is evident that the task of distributing the loan will be a peculiarly difficult one. . The particulars are published of a number of Austrian Five per Cent. Bonds of 1852, which have been drawn for redempti on . Th e num b ers are likewise published of 156 bonds, amounting to £42,550, of the Turkish Six per Cent. Loan of 1854, which were drawn by lot on Friday last, and are to be paid off at 100 on the 10th October next. The supply of money is larger than ever, and the rates are still steadily declining. Good bills were taken to-day at the extraordinarily low rate of 1 to 2 per cent. There was accordingly very little business at the Bank of England, and the expecta tion is increasing that that establishment will shortly reduce its minimum to 2 per cent. The half-yearly report of the Scottish Australian investment Company, to be presented on the Ist of August, states the profits to have been larger than in any preceeding six months, and recommends a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, which will absorb £lO,OOO, and leave £8,293 at the credit of the reserved fund. A fresh fall of 1 per cent. took place to-day in United States Five per Cents., and most kinds of American railway securities showed heaviness. A meeting of the Mariquita and New Granada Mining Company will be held on the 31st inst. The half-yearly meeting of the Dun Mountain Copper Mining Company is called for the 30th inst., when a special resolution will be proposed, empowering the directors to raise additional capital " in case of need." The first general meeting of the Santa Barbara Gold Mining Company is called for the 6th of August, at Liverpool. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY . CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Another reduction to the extent of 1 , per cent. has been made to-day in the minimum rate of w now at th e Back of England. The qut io stands at 2 per cent., and it is excee dingly probable that furth er facilities will be offered 'n the open market, which will still preclude the Bank of England from active participation In ordinary di scoun t b us i ness. The extraordinary plethora of money and the limited requirements of the public naturally create active competition among the joint stock and private establishments. There Can bo no doubt that a further important accumula tion of bullion has taken place, and that the direc tors have experienced a diminution in the other securities. Under the circumstances, therefore, the policy adopted by the Court of Directors is justi fied, not only by the immediate situation of their resources, but also by the general tendency of Monetary affairs. In consequence of the reduction of the Bank rate :Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co., and Messrs. Alexander and Co. have altered their allowance for deposits to 1 per cent. at call, and to 1-1-- per cent. with seven days' notice of withdrawal. The Joint Stock Banks, it is expected, will give 1 per cent. The tenth half-yearly meeting of the Arica and Tacna Railway Company took place to-day ; J . P. Heywood in the chair. The report presented to the proprie,Wrs stated that the cash in hand oil the 31st March, when the London books were closed, was £5,114 14s. 2d., which had increased by the receipt of subsequent remittances to an amount that justified the distribution of a 9th dividend of 2 per cent., less income tax, which was now recom mended. The English St oc k M ar ket opened this morning with a steady and quiet appearance, and a few transactions took place on previous terms. When it transpired, however, that the minimum rate of discount had been reduced purchases were effected, which led to an improvement of 7 1,- per cent; Con sols being 93 for money and the 7th proximo. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 93 1- ; Exchequer Bills, at 17s. to 20s. prem.; Bank Stock has improved to 237; India ditto to 227 ; ditto Five per Cent. Loan remains at 107'4 1081. Foreign Securities are well supported, but the dealings are restricted. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1851, have improved to 85 ; ditto, 1858, is firm at 724 73/ ; ditto New Loan Scrip at 11, 2 prem. ; Egyptian Scrip is steady at 8d 9/ prem. ; Italian 51 per Cents. are 704 ; ditto Railway Loan, '73 ; Spanish Certificates are flat at 91. The New Por tuguese Loan is 11 s prem. The operations in the Railway Share Market have been limited, but a firmer tone has prevailed. Eastern Counties, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and South-Easterns have improved 55.; and Great Westerns, 10s. ; 'Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin coln, however, have receded ss. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets busi ness has remained inactive, and prices have not varied to any important extent. Great Luxembourg are dealt in at 14:4,/ ; Namur and Liege at 8 ; Sambre and Meuse at 101 ; Grand Trunk of Canada have improved to 21 i; Great Indian Peninsula are steady at 102, 1 - 4 ; East Indian at 1041; Bombay and Baroda at Mt 101; and Madras 5 per Cents. at 1001 Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares con tinue in fair request at about previous rates. IRELAND. DUBLIN, JULY 22. MURDER OF MR. JOHN HERDMAN. The grand jury have just returned a true bill against William Herdman, for the wilful murder of the late Mr. John Herdman, of Belfast. At the Longford assizes John Masterton, a small farmer, was indicted for sending a threatening letter to Peter Donohoe, on the 16th of June last, threat ening to shoot him if he did not give up a farm for merly in possession of the prisoner, and from which he had been dispossessed for non-payment of rent. Tho prisoner pleaded not guilty. He was unde fended. The jury found the prisoner guilty, with a recommendation to mercy, on the ground of his advanced age. Judge Hayes said he could not en tertain the recommendation, If it had been offered on account of the prisoner's youth he would have attended to it, but not in the case of a person who knew well the effects of his proceedings. The sen tence of the Court was penal servitude for four years. ALARMING ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY_ NEWPORT, WEDNESDAY. Last evening one of the most remarkable accidents that has ever taken place on the South Wales Railway hap pened near this town upon that line. The railway crosses the Ebbw river about 3 miles from Newport, the estate of Lord Tredegar lying adjacent to the railway, on which Mr. Henry Collins holds the Duffyn Farm. Yesterday the marriage of one of Mr. Collins' daughters to Mr. Winter botham, of Bridgewater, having taken place, the work• people on the farm—their " wedding feast" being reserved for a future day—were leaving the hayfields early, and re turning in a large waggon to the number of 1.6. There were three horses drawing this human freight of 16 lives. They had to cross the South Wales Railway on a level crossing at a point where a high bridge on the land pre vented them observing the approach of the train. They neared the railway, threw open the gate, drove on the line, the leading horse of the three drawing the waggon being on the rails. Suddenly the people heard the rushing sound of the approaching train. No whistle signalled its ap proach. The people, however, were not the less certain of the train being close upon them. Shouting to the man lead ing the fore horse, they alarmed him just in time to draw the animal off the line; but the waggon had approached so close to the rails, that the train as it dashed past cut down an.d killed the two hinder horses, tore away the near shaft of the waggon, and actually carried away a portion of the side of the waggon, nearly crusting the people who were riding. Had the waggon been drawn on a few feet farther only the frightful sacrifice of human life that would have been inevitable is terrible to contemplate. The bodies of the horses were quickly removed from the railway, and the waggon got into a place of security, the people being almost insensible through the great fright and peril they had so miraculously escaped.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. Our market to-day was scantily supplied with beasts. Prime breeds commanded a steady sale at full prices; otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state on former terms. The best Scots realised 4s 10d per Sibs. The show of sheep was moderate. Downs and half •breds moved off freely;; other breeds slowly at Monday's currency. The best Downs sold at 5s 2d per 81bs. Prime lambs were scarce, and in demand at full quotations. Inferior lambs, however, were a dull inquiry. We have no change to notice in the value of lambs, for which the demand ruled steady. In pigs and milch cows very little was doing on former terms.

Francis Spedding, curate of Shepton, Shropshire, for the dissolution of hts marriage with the respondent, by reason of her adultery with the co-respondent, a surgeon in the same neighbour hood. The respondent did not appear ; the co-respondent did, and traversed the adultery ; but the real question was as to the amount of damages, which were laid at £2,000. The parties were married in the year 1846, there being four children of the marriage. In 'the month of October, 1860. Dr. Lander had attended Mrs. Spedding profes sionally, and from this time an attachment sprang up be tween them, which resulted in their elopement from Skip ton in the month of June, 1861. Their fight was soon discovered, and they were traced to the railway station at Birmingham, from whence they had taken their departure for London. A telegram was forwarded to Euston square to the detective police at the North-Western Railway, with a description of the parties, and in consequence the parties were traced to Haxell's Hotel, Strand, where they slept that night. The next morning Mr. Spedding arrived in town, and accompanied the detective officer to the hotel, and found Mr. Lander and Mrs. Spedding in a bed-room. A scene took place, Mr. Spedding refraining, at the request of Mr. Haxell, the proprietor of the hotel, from breaking open the door; the police m atched until Mrs. Spedding came out, and she, on seeing her husband, became very much agi tated. When she was asked why she had gone off with Mr. Lander, she said because her husband did not treat her as a gentleman. The husband detained the wife's lug gage, but she and Mr. Lander took their departure in a cab, and since that they had been traced to Melbourne, in Australia, where they were now residing. Mr. Lander was a married man, and he had told two persons, one of wham was Mr. Spedding, that he intended to debauch his wife. The jury found that adultery had been committed by both parties, and assessed the damages at £l,OOO. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)

THE BELT AGAIN.—SAVAGE ASSAULT.—John Gibson, a private in the Ist battalion of Coldstream Guards, was charged before Mr. Knox with the following violent assault with his belt : Page Hewett, a bootmaker, of 18, St, Martin's-street, Leicester-square, said about 12 last night he was close to his door, the house being a corner one—the private door in one street, and a chandler's shop in the other. The female_ in the shop called him round and said " Pray go round' some one is breaking my door open." He (complainant) ' went round to the shop, and seeing the prisoner in the pas sage the worse for liquor, said, " Holloa, who is here ?" when the prisoner replied, " I am here on special duty. There are thieves in the house, and I'll have them out." He told the prisoner that he had better be off or he would have him locked up. The prisoner then pushed him two or three times with his left hand, and while doing to with his right hand pulled his belt from under his coat, and hit him a severe blow on the back with it, causing a large lump, and directly after got hold of the buckle, and hold• ing it tightly in his hand gave him a severe blow on the head, inflicting a severe wound and smothering him with blood. On a policeman coming up, and while he (com plainant) was speaking to him, the prisoner tried to get off his belt again, and on being told by the constable that he had better be quiet, he (the soldier) ran away, but was cap tured two or three hours after. Reeves, 44 0, said that while speaking to the com plainant he saw the soldier attempt to take off his belt. He, however, cautioned him, and he then made his escape, but he took him that day about three o'clock, near the National Gallery. The complainant's head was bleeding profusely, and he seemed almost insensible. It could not have possibly been done with the fist, and he had no doubt had been done with the buckle. Mr. Knox having ascertaired that the complainant had n ot been seen by a medical man, ordered the constable at once to go to Middlesex Hospital with the complainant, and on their return the constable handed Mr Knox a certi ficate stating that the wound on the complainant's head was inflicted by an instrument like a soldier's belt buckle. The certificate was signed by Mr. Albert D. Hunt, house surgeon. Prisoner's sergeant gave the man a good character. Mr. Knox said it was a very bad case. Not even fair play—it was foul play. He kad struck the man on the head with the wretched belt, and he should not be doing his duty to the public if he did not commit the prisoner for two months with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. CREATING A DISTURBANCE AT THE WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL. —Anne Deway, a middle-aged woman, was charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance at the Westminster Hospital. Wm. Allen, hall porter at the hospital, said the prisoner has a daughter who is an inmate of the establishment. Yesterday afternoon the accused came to see her while in a state of drunkenness, and created a great disturbance in the ward. The sister, or nurse, sent for witness to remove defendant, who immediately flew at him and scratched his f ace . She was with difficulty removed and given into the custody of the police. Defendant said that she went to see her daughter in the hospital, and the latter did not behave properly, wanting a great many things that was inconsistent for her to expect out of parents who had four children to maintain. Mr. Arnold—You were drunk, Defendant—l hope you wont send me away to prison because of my four children. Mr. Arnold—l can't feel much sympathy for a woman with four children who gets drunk. Defendant—My daughter should have answered me civilly, and nothing would then have occurred. Mr. Arnold—What has the conduct of your daughter got to do with your assaulting the porter of the hospital who was sent to remove you from the ward ? Defendant—l am very sorry for that, and hope you will overlook it. Mr. Arnold—l cannot overlook such misconduct as yours. It is most unbecoming of a person to go amongst sick per sons in an hospital in a state of drunkenness and make a disturbance. There is no knowing what mischief may result from the alarm occasioned by such behaviour. You are fined 10s., and committed for a month in default. She was locked up.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE MARRIAGE LAWS. Lor3 STANLEY of ALDER LEY presented several petitions in favour of legalising the marriage with a deceased wife's sister. FIRST READINGS. The Highland Roads, Lunatic Law Amendment, and the Militia Ballot Suspension Bills were read a first time. THE JOURNALS OF THE HOUSE. Lord REDESDALE defended the manner in which the journals of the house were kept, He did so in consequence of a statement which had been made in another place, that the journals were a year and a half in arrear. The only thing in which there was, in fact, any delay, was in the publication of the judgments of the house, and this was occasioned by the necessity o f th e i r having to undergo careful revision. PAROCHIAL ASSESSMENT BILL. The Duke of NEWCASTLE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to regulate the assess• ment of property, there being in some instances a difference between the actual and rating value of from 20, 30, and even 50 per cent. It was objected that there would be a very great expense occasioned by the bill, namely, for a revaluation of parochial property. Now in many parishes that revaluation had already taken place, so in those places it would therefore be unnecessary, and in such places where a revaluation was required, before being done the assessment committee to be appointed by the bill would have to give their sanction to such a proceeding, The measure would effect that which was urgently required, viz., uniformity of rating, and as it was generally approved of by nearly all the boards of guardians throughout the kingdom he hoped their lordships would give their assent to the second reading. Lord PORTMAN thought, before the measure passed, it was absoiutely necessary that some alteration should be made in the 15th clause. The Marquis of BATH objected to the bill, as he looked upon it as the first step towards establishing a system of union rating. Lord REDESDALE doubted whether there was time during the present session to give adequate attention to this bill. He objected to the machinery of the measure, and he was of @pinion if the bill passed it would give the same satisfaction as the system which it was now sought to get rid of. Lord EGERTON suggested that the further considera tion of this bill be delayed till next year. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Dulas Valley Mineral Railway, an the Waterford and Limerick and Ennis Railway Bills were read a third time and passed. THE POACHING PREVENTION BILL.

On the motion of Sir DE LACY EVANS a return rela tive to the sale of commissions for commuted or other sums within the last seven years by parties who had n e ith er pur - chased nor completed 20 years service was ordered. FEES ON PRIVATE BILLS. On the motion of Colonel WILSON PATTEN returns on this subject were ordered. MILITARY RESERVE FUND. In reply to General PEEL, Sir G. LEWIS said that this subject had been under the consideration of the Government, as he had stated on a previous occasion, and had also been considered by his pre decessor. It had been decided, wtth the concurrence of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, that payments out of this fund should be made with respect to the merits of the claimants and the circumstances under which they left the service, such as illness crr other sufficient causes. METROPOLITAN TURNPIKES. In reply to Mr. WHITE, Sir G. GREY said that Ile abolition of the metropolitan turnpikes had been under the consideration of Government, and a bill on the subject would be introduced next session. COUNCIL OF EDUCATION. Viscount ENFIELD asked the Vice• President of the Committee of Council on Education whether he would consider the advisability of making the districts connected with the Committee of Council on Education smaller ; and whether there was any intention of promoting the masters in these schools to the post of examiners ? Mr. LOWE said that both subjects were under con sideration, and he was at present unable to give any definite answer in reference to them. THE CORPS OF GENTLEMEN-AT-ARMS. In reply to Sir DE LACY EVANS, Sir G. LEWIS said that some arrangement had been made for compensating this corps out of the reserved land for their services, The subject of the continuance or recti fication of that fund was under consideration. THE COLLEGE OF MAYNOOTH. In reply to Mr. WHALLEY, Sir R. PEEL said that he saw no reason why the calen dar should not be published according to the recommenda tion of the commissioners, but the consent of the Roman Catholics was necessary for that purpose, and he need not say that he (Sir R. Peel) had no influence with that body. (Laughter.) With respect to the other subject, he had a return in his hand, which he would lay on the table in the course of the evening. THE COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH BELGIUM, In reply to Mr. M. FORSTER, Mr. LAYARD said he was happy to state that a treaty between this country and Belgium had been signed yester day, but he could not lay the text on the table at present. THE BUILDINGS IN THE VICINITY OF THE NEW FOREIGN-OFFICE. Mr. B. COCHRANE asked what steps the Government proposed to take with respect to the houses in the imme diate neighbourhood of the site of the new foreign-office, as he understood the proprietors of these buildings were making improvements in order to obtain higher prices for their premises, being under the impression that they must ba purchased by Government. Mr. COWPER sk id that it was no doubt desirable that certain premises in King-, treet and Parliament-street should eventually be purchased, but the Government had already purchased as much ground as they required. PARTY DEMONSTRATIONS IN IRELAND. Captain ARCHDALE drew attention to a statement which had appeared in the newspapers, to the effect that certain parties had been prosecuted in Antrim fur carrying orange flags, while other persons were allowed to carry cockades with impunity. Sir R. PEEL said that if notice of this question had been given he would have been prepared to answer it; and he could merely state that, as he understood, there had been no infringement of the law in the way in which the hon. member described. UNION RELIEF AID BILL. On the order of the day fez the second reading of this - bill, Mr. POTTER said he thought the Govornment should carry out their intention of affording relief to the distressed operatives in Lancashire than the bill proposed , consider ing that no less than 300,000 of the best artizans of the country, whose conditions it was intended to ameliorate, were suffering the greatest distress. Col. W. PATTEN would not oppose the bill, but con sidered it was insufficient, and thought there should be a loan granted to the millowners, to enable them to assist the unfortunate operatives in Lancashire. Mr. J. B. SMITH thought that the bill should be read a second time in order that the different constituencies of the kingdom might be prepared to consider its provisions before it went into committee. Lord STANLEY objected to the principle of the bill. Alderman SIDNEY would not oppose the second read ing of the bill, but considered it could be materially im proved in committee. Mr. HENLEY was of opinion that they ought not to de part from the act of Elizabeth, and alter the law merely to meet what what he hoped was a tempora t r h y e e p m re er s g en en t c s y tate li o e f thought the subject of any alteration in the Poor Law should be postponed until next session. Mr. COBDEN sa i d that the obse rvations of the right hon. gentleman who had just addressed the house convinced him that lion. members generally did not understand the s ubject of the distress in the cotton districts w as, that it was proposed by cert a i n honourableThe fallacy members to tax this district to meet the l oca l distress,. but it was in P a state of collapse. There must be roductmn before th ere co uld be taxation, and as to the district to which he referred, unless manufactures were c arried on, would n o more be able to pay tax es th an struck with sterilty. xf'ordshire if it were [LEFT SITTING A CANARD.—We find the following paragraph in a French newspaper, vouched for by two names, Cha vette and Calino :—" The Emperor of Austria recently met a soldier, in full uniform, with one arm, and acco s t e d him thus :—' Where did you lose your arm ?' ' A r t ation fain°, Sire.' Ills Majesty at once detached from his coat, and placed it himself on the p man.

July 24,1882. MEXICO. (Per City of Baltimore, via Queenstown.) NEW YORK, JULY 12. The following news is furnished by the Havannah agent of the New York Associated Press. Intelligence from Vera Crnz of the 2d, via Havannah, states that the French have surprised and routed a large body of Mexicans, under Ortega and Zaragoza at Cerro de Borgo, near Orizaba, on the 14th ult. Ortega and Zaragoza returned and attacked the French on the loth, but with no successful result. Large bands of Mexican guerillas were between. Tejera and Vera Cruz. The French supply trains, with their escort for Orizaba, had been captured. the vivandieres were shot in the melee. The French were short of provisions at Orizaba. Three bearers of French despatches had been captured, and official documents for Generals Lo rencez, Saligny, and Douai had been published in Mexico. Several French and Mexican steamers had gone to various Mexican ports, demanding that the in habitants should declare for Almonte, but in all cases the people had refused. Other accounts received in Havannah state that the road was open from Vera Cruz to Orizaba. NEW ROYAL MAUSOLEUM AT WINDSOR. The mausoleum now in course of erection in the Royal grounds, Frogmore, and which is intended to receive the remains of the late Prince Consort, is situated about 100 3 ards from that of the late Duchess of Kent. A more secluded spot could not have been selected, the site being surrounded by many different species of flowering shrubs and trees of a large growth, while close by is a beautiful specimen of the deciduous cypress, the dark shades of which will contrast well with the stones of the tomb. The building is being erected from the de signs and under the superintendence of Mr. A. S. Humbert, the architect, and consists of a central cell with four transepts branching north, south, east, and west, with a porch adjoining the western transept. The whole floor is supported by brick vaults of massive Rork, which at the same time form chambers, with loopholes for the purposes of ventilation and the prevention of damp rising to the superstructure. They are entered by a small flight of stone steps. The central cell will be lighted by three light semicircular-headed windows in the clerestory, which will be externally decorated with Aberdeen granite shafts and heads. The cop per roof of the central cell (which is octagonal on plan) rises from the wall heads to the apex with a flit pitch in the manner of an Italian campanile, and will be surmounted with a gilt cross. Under this roof will be the sarcophagus for the remains of the Prince Consort. The reclining statue of the Prince will be executed by Baron Marochetti. The four transepts are square on plan, are lighted by windows similar to those in the clerestory of the central cell, and will have pedimented copper roofs. The porch, which will be entered by ahandsomefiight of stone steps, will be lighted with circular-headed three-light windows, with shafts and heads of Guernsey granite, and the front will be supported by monolithic granite columns, similar to those o a l f r e K a d e n y t fl . n he in h The whole t of mausoleum fthe exterior of the will e u c de e c o o rated with Aberdeen and Guernsey granite, and with red Mansfield and various other stones.

Peason of Nicholas-lane, City, and Hull, classed A 1 at Lloyd's, 200 feet long. For some time past the vessel had been undergoing repairs in the shipyard of Messrs. Lingler, the Lower Dockyard, or water -gate wharf, at Deptford, and only on the previous day she was taken into the middle of the river, and moored opposite Messrs. Mare's. About midnight some of the Thames police officers, whilst rowing their galley along the Thames, overheard one of the men left in charge of the ship tell some one to be sure and call him at 5 o'clock in t h e morning. The police then rowed along the stream, but before they had reached Limehouse they saw unmistakeable signs of the outbreak ; and on rowing back again they found that the lamp room, which was situated on the deck, was on fire. Every attempt was at once made to extinguish the flames, but not the least impression could be made upon them. 1 hou ' sands of tons weight of water were thrown by the engines into the burning vessel, in spite of which the fire continued to spread till it had destroyed the bulwarks and the paddle wheels. After a lapse of eight hours the flames began to succumb, but the once noble vessel is almost destroyed. The owners are believed to be insured at Lloyd's, b ut for According to letters from Warsaw the what amount is unknown. hie Duke Constantine felt no further bad eff ects , i f ri ec T wound, although up to a recent date he was 0511)---- S better to wear his arm in a sling.
