ONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The settlement engages most of the attention to day. Consols have receded a trifle, but recovery is fulls looked for to-morrow.

Of this amount £30,000 con sisted of sovereigns for India and £30,000 was in American eagles for New York. The Atrato, from the West Indies, has brought £223,620, of which £133,231 is gold, and the Union, from New York, £9,745. It is reported that advances are being made to effect an arrangenaent between the several classes of stock and debenture holders interested in the Lon don, Chatham, and Dover Railway. If this can be accomplished it will be most satisfactory, especially should anything like the payment of interest be re sumed. The advance in the price of the stock is attributed to these proceedings. The new Russian loan has been received with much indifference. Although it is, as a matter of course, offered upon terms which render it rela tively cheaper than the existing issues, the effect of this consideration is lost through the extent to Which the market had previously been flooded with stock, while at the same time caution is inspired by the implied refusal on the part of the Russian Government to refrain from putting forth fresh loans directly the instalments upon this new stock shall have been completed. Rumours continue to be circulated from day to day with reference to the coining Spanish loan, for which there appears to he a good deal of competi tion at Madrid, although this is probably in no small degr ee of a conditional character. It is not believed that anything absolutely definite has yet been settled. A remittance of £1,415 has been received on ac count of the debt of Equador. The period of officu of Mr. Thomas N. Hunt as i Governor of the Bank of England has terminated. The four years ia which Mr. Hunt has filled the post of Deputy-Governor and then of Governor included the height of the speculative inflation from the limited liability companies, the unpre cedented panic of 1866, and the consequent long period of distress, and throughout the w hole of . this anxious time it has been his fortune to be regarded with unqualified confidence and esteem by all con nected with the mercantile and banking interests of the City of London. He is succeeded by Mr. R. W. Crawford, M.P. for London. The report of the di rectors of the Rio Janeiro Gas Cr the ompany (Limited) recommends a dividend annum, fo half - year at th e rate of 10 per cent. per • The results of the half-year's operations of the General Bank of Switzerland will not permit of the distribution of a dividend for the six months end ing December last. The reports from the iron manufacturing dis tricts of France and Belgium are very favourable. Two or three failures are reported in the Brad ford worsted trade. Messrs. Burton and Brook, woolstaplers, whose liabilities are stated to be from 13 0,000 to £40,000, have called a meeting of their creditors ; and a similar step has been taken by Mr. Watkinson, worsted spinner, and Mr. Josh. .Walker, woolstapler.

The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. MURPHY AND HIS LECTURES. Mr. S. AYTOUN asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he was aware that a pro clamation had been issued by lir. Edward Sholton, Mayor of the borough of Tynemouth, giving notice that any persons attending the lectures delivered by Mr. Murphy at North Shields, on the sth, 6th, ant 7th inst., and who shall pay money for admission to the place where such lectures are to be delivered, are liable to a penalty of £lO under the provisions of the Act 39 Geo. 3, cap. 79 5 . 15; and, whether, in his opinion, the Mayor of Tyne mouth has, by issuing such a proclamation, exceeded his authority. Mr. BRUCE said he was aware such proclamation bad been issued, and ho hoped the Mayor had not exceeded his authority as he acted by his (Mr. Bruce's) authority and under his direction. Murphy had delivered lectures in the North and his route had been marked with disturbances and interruptions. He acknowledged that the Act wa( very stringent and was only applicable to extreme cases ; he considered this to be an extreme case, and when the Mayor heard that Murphy intended to deliver a lecture at Tynemouth, he applied to the Home Office, and by his (Mr. Bruce's) directions, the Mayor issued the proclamation. (Hear, hear.) MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY•BILL. Mr. RUSSEL GURNEY moved the second reading of this bill, and said that up to the present time the state of the law was that the husband has absolute dominion over the property of his wife, and absolute domin;on over all that the wife might obtain by her own labour. In the last census it was shown that SCO,OOO women were earning wages, and it was upon this large class that the laws bore with great severity, and the rich certainly would not have tolerated such a law for any length of time, had they not had their remedy in the Covets of Equity. The learned gentleman referred to cases iu which a wife had been driven from her home by the brutality of her husband, and when she had raved sufficient to start in business her husband had come down upon the goods and exorcised his conjugal lights. There were no doubt several moles of providing a partial remedy, but he thought the only remedy was the remedy contained in the bill —namely, that the wife should be allowed to retain her own with the same rights, and subject 'to the same liabilities, as her husband. He asked the Louse to assent to the second reading of the bill, and he would then propose that the bill be referred to a select committee in order that the clauses might be more satis factorily examined. Such a bill was in force now in India and Upper Canada. He thought his bill would alleviate very great hardships and remedy au unjust law. After a short discussion the bill was read a second time and referred to a select committee. SUNDAY TRADING BILL. The house then went iuto committee on this bill. After a few amendments by Mr. CIIAMBEWS of no great importance, had been agreed to, Mr. RY LANDS said, the amendments were not on tho paper, and he moved that the Chairman should report progress. The house divided on the motion that the Chairman do report progress, and there voted— For the motion 81 .. -- Against it Mr. BRADY then moved that the chairman leave the chair. Mr. MUNTZ seconded the motion. Mr. BRUCE offered no objection to the bill being road a second time and passing into committee. Mr. WO. DOWNING though the bill unnecessary, and he should therefore support the adjournment. Mr. RYLANDS spoke until sixteen minutes to six, when the motion that the chairman do leave the chair was put, and the committee divided— For the motion 57 Against 110 The time for suspending debates having then arrived, the bill became a dropped order. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the house adjourned. THE CONVICT SHEWARD. The application to the Attorney-General for his fiat for a writ of error was appliod for late this afternoou by Mr. Poland. Mr. Archibald opposed the application, and the arguments lasted until half-past six o'clock. The Attorney-General said ho could not give his assent without fully considering the arguments both for and against, and with that view he would state his intention to-morrow at noon.

The Emperor has been seized with a fit of letter-with:4. His epistle respecting the abolition of worknien's livrets has been followed by another touching the approaching hundredth anniversary of the " Great" Napoleon's birth• day. This anniversary will fall on the 15th of August. His Majesty suggests that the best way to honour the memory of the great conqueror is to spread little com fort amongst his old companions in arms. "My desire is that from the 15th August next every soldier of the Republic and of the First Empire should receive a - ?' annual pension of 250 f." Well, no doubt the Corps L6gislatif will make no objection to granting this sum, and the more so as it is perfectly well aware that it cannot help itself. Two hundred and fifty francs represent ten pounds a year. This is not much for Buonaparte's old-soldiers, but it accurately represents the reward of glory. Go through such strifes as Austerlitz, Eylau, or Talavera, struggle through the campaigns in Egypt and Syria, escape by the skin of your teeth the horrors of the Russian invasion, get clear of Leipsic, and finally terminate your military career at Waterloo in 1815, and you arc rewarde.l with ten pounds a year when you have arrived at the brink of the grave in 1869. Certainly no one can object to this grant of ten pounds a year to the few old men who survive the butcheries of their commander. But the time hardly seems pro pitious for very great glorification of Napoleon I. At least it might have been put off until the 15th of August arrives. To say that "to do honour to the memory of great men is to recognise one of the most striking manifestations of the Divine will," is all very well ; but few people in these days aro inclined to regard the first French Emperor as a very striking manifestation of the Divine will. He certainly enjoys the distinction of having done more injury to the human race than any other individual that ever lived. If this be a manifestation of the Divine will, it ought to be suitably acknowledged. But the Emperor Napoleon I. represents a policy of ambition, of conquest, and of boundless sacrifice of the human race to the will of one, which is no longer the policy of the French peopre. The last generation but one was with Napoleon through weal or woe; but the present takes a different view of life. It desires peace and prosperity, and not Russian invasion. The Emperor would have done well to have proposed that the old soldiers, instead of ten pounds, should receive twenty, and have said nothing about manifestations of the Divine will. The Marquis de Lavalette has been congratulated by the diplomatic body on his last speech. Of all the Ambas sadors here assembled Lord Lyons expressed his satisfac tion in the warmest terms. A story which has obtained general currency needs correction. The Emperor and his son were at the Marche races on Sunday, and the former espied from the Imperial tribune Queen Isabella waking amongst the crowd like any other private individual. His Majesty immediately descended, and escorted the Queen to the Impe rial stand. This is all correct. But it is added that Don Carlos was present at the races, and that the Queen and the Pretender shook hands. This story is more than questionable. Don Carlos was not present at the races, or at least did not come near either the Emperor or the ex-Queen. Such a reconciliation would have been extraordinary indeed at a time when the Carlist , partisans are preparing for an effort, which, if successful, will exclude Isabella as effectually as it will undo the work of the revolution. A rising at the end 03 the month in favour of Don Carlos is confidently spoken of. It is said that the leader of the Pretender's forces will be Martinez, a soldier of fortune, who served as a volunteer through the Crimean campaign. The prophets all affirm that the Carlists can have no chance whatever ; that their rising will lead only to useless blood shed. Be that as it may, it is clear that no time can be more favourable than the present. There was a great manifestation at the close of the ser vice at which the Papal nuncio celebrated the Pope's jubilee. Loud shouts of " Vive Pius IX." greeted the Ambassador as he quitted the church. At Versailles the jubilee was celebrated by fireworks. Lyons, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Avignon, and other towns were bril:iantly illuminated. But Paris appears to have distinguished itself chiefly by its obscurity. Another French missionary has shed his blood in Asia in behalf of the Catholic faith. M. Jean-Francois Rigaud, of the diocese of Besancon, has perished in the Su Tchuen, a province where the persecution of Christians is particularly violent. According to the account in the papers here, the missionary was " cut to pieces on the steps of his altar, and more than 100 of his converts perished with him." It is likely that the late disturbances at 11,6 union will have the effect of changing the government of the island. The Pairie states that el:cloral institutions are to be granted to the colony. AI CILEISHOP MANI - UAW OS SECRET SOCIETIES. On Monday Dr. Manning preached at Islington and mido 'mine allusion to Secret Societies. France had taken the iced of the other couutiies of the Continent in this respect, and moiety had been tainted by such illegal associations. The revolutionary principles promulgated in France had produced a bad effect in Italy. They all knew of the con-, spiracles organised by designing men to overthrow the Government of the Pope. Ile was seldom free from cowardly machinations, and his person was not safe from these vile conspiracies. lie might die in exile, whore so many of his predecessors had died, but he would never compromise the dignity of, or the independence of, the Church. The Church had always set her face against these societies; and the Pope had declared all those who belonged to them to be excommunicated. In conclusion, the Archbishop said that the Pop 3 might die in exile, but the Vicar of Christ would live ; St. Peter's might be torn down, but the Papacy would remain. THE METROPOLITAN STRTET TRAM WAYS COMMITTEE. This committee reassembled on Tuesday (Mr. Sclater- Booth in the chair). After a long consideration, the public were admitted, and the chairman stated that the committee were of opinion that the preamble of the Metropolitan Street Tramways Bill was proved, with the following reservations :—First, less the " Bercult Buildings' " Loop ; second, limitation of monopoly ; third, purchase by street authorities at some future time; fourth, police regulations to be preserved; and, fifthly, the bye-laws to receive the Home Office approval. The Pimlico, Peckham, and Gre?nw:ei Street Tram ways, which is virtually an unopposed Bill, and supported by the inhabitants in the respective districts was then proceeded with. " THE BOOK OF JASHER." .., r. The circumstances under which Mr. C. W. Hankin, M.A., Head Master of King Edward Vl.'s Grammar School at Southampton, was censured by the Southampton Charity Trustees for recommending Dr. Donaldson's "Book of Jasper" to the Library of the Hartley institution, are explained in a somewhat long correspondence which fins been printed. What Mr. Hankin did, it seems, was not to "recommend,"' but to " suggest " the purchase of the book, which he had not read. For this the trustees, acting on the tn o t - jon of the Rev. Mark Cooper, rector of St. Mary's , Southamp:.7, passed a resolution expressing a hope that Mr. nankin would disavow "the obscene and sceptical opinions" of the book, and remove the sugges tion which he had caused to be entered in the suggestion book of the Hartley Institution. In subsequent letters Mr. Hankin contested the right of the trustees to review what he had done as a subscriber to the library, and objected to their characterising a book written by a clergyman of the Church of England, and quoted without reprobation in various standard works, such as Dr. Smith's "Dictionary of the Bible," as "scep tical and obscene." Finally, the trustees passed the following resolution :—" That the trustees are glad to learn from Mr. Hankin's reply to their resolution of the 29th of March that he has not studied the book in ques tion. They are, therefore, bound to acquit him of inten tional wrong in the matter." _~. Peter Connor, who was arrested on suspicion for he murder of Maria Fitzsimons, was again brought before Mr. Alderman Stone at the Guildhall on Tuesday, and laprat4d.

He came home on Sunday morning at about one o'clock, and went out again, waking up the family by slamming the street door after him. At three o'clock he returned and rung the bell violently, but she refused to let him in in conse quence of his drunkenness and fear that he and his father would have words. Mr. A rnold—Has this ever occurred before ? Mother—He has been drunk, but never misconducted himself in this way. I have no wish to press the charge, as he has already had punishment enough. Police Inspector—This prisoner escaped from our custody on Monday morning and was not captured again until last night. Prisoner-1 had no idea of escape. I thought Lwas at liberty to go. Mr. Arnold—How did ho gJt away ? Inspector—Another prisoner while being taken to the van became very violent, and while we were securing him, defendant escaped from the passage.

M'Carthy here said—l don't know this gentleman at all. Mr. Benson—What gentleman ? M'Carthy, pointing to Boone —Why, this here gentle man. (Loud laughter.) LFoster—Both prisoners live in the same house; aad I believe M'Carthy has pawned the other jacket. M'Carthy—No, I arnt.
