MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CUT, Two o'CLOCK. FURTHER REDUCTION IN THE BANK RATES. The directors of the Bank of England, at their weekly court this morning, were unable to resist the influences in favour of a further reduction of the Bank rate, and the official midimu►n was put down to 31 per cent., 4 per cent. having lasted but a fort night. In the open market,thowever, the bills offering are so few and the supply of money is so great, that this change, though called for at an unusual time, is not likely to improve very materially the busi ness of the Bank ; 31 per cent. is current for three months' paper, or 1 per cent. below the new mini mum. The banks and discount brokers are arrang ing for a corresponding reduction in the interest allowed on deposit. Consols are firmer to-day, at 93 21 1 for money ; ditto, for Account, 931 ; Three per Cent. Re duced, 921 ; New Thee per Cents, 921 3 /21 ; Exchequer Bills £l,OOO, ; ditto £lOO, £2OO, and £5OO, —; Bank of England Stock, 4 per Cent., 242. India Stock, 101 per Cent., April, 1874, shut ; ditto 5 per Cent., July, 1880, 112 111 ; ditto 4 per Cent., Oct., 1888, 100/ ; ditto Enfaced Paper, 5 per per Cent., —. Foreign Stocks continue to show a most an en tire absence of business, and in one or two instances prices are a shade lower. Mexican and Peruvian are each 1 wore—the former being quoted at 121 to 121, the latter at 80 to 801. Russian Charkoff Railway is 1 lower, at 781 to 78. In English Railways Great Eastern are dull at 231, on the preamble of the Company's Steamboat Bill being declared not proven by a committee of the House of Lords. The general tendency is less favourable. Brighton and Great Northern are to day 1 lower, and Great Western and London and North Western each. There is no change to-day in American Securi ties. The United States Five-Twenty Bonds are quoted 801 to 80a the Ten-Forties, 711 to 72 ; Erie, 191 to 20 ; Illinois, 94 to 95 ; Atlantic and Gseat Western Bonds, 25 to 251 ; and the Deben tures, 271 to 281. Bank Shares continue very quiet, and prices in some instances scarcely so firm. Oriental is 1 lower, at 441 ; Imperial Ottoman 1, at 21 to 21 prem. In Miscellaneous Securities Anglo-American Telegraph isl higher, at 201 to 201. General Credit is 1 better, at 11 to 1 dis. ; International Finance is steady, at 2 to 11 dis. ; National Dis count, 2 to 11 dis. ; and Hudson's Bay, 121 is 121. The sum of £48,000 in gold was taken to the Bank yesterday, including 7,000 sovereigns from Brazil. The total sent in since the last return has been £255,000. On the application of Mr. Gordon, one of the defendants, the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn has directed that the trial of the directors of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited) shall be held before himself, at Guildhall, on Friday, the 2d July. At a meeting of the Royal Exchange Assurance Corporation a dividend at the rate of 16 per cent. was declared for the half-year, making, with 4 per cent. paid at Christmas, a total distribution of 20 per cent. for the year. The directors of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company have announced an interim dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for the past six months, payable on the Ist of July. The report of Charles Cammell and Company (Limited), steel and iron merchants, of Sheffield and London, recommends the payment of a divi dend of £4 per share for the past year, and the in creasing of the reserve fund to £69,345 Is. 10d. The ordinary general meeting of the Mexican Railway Company (Limited) will be held on the 30th inst. A meeting of the Confederate Cotton Bond holders is to be held at the Terminus Hotel, Cannon street, on the Ist of July, at 12.30, in compliance with a requisition, numerously and respectably signed, " for the purpose of irotesting against that part of Mr. Sumner's speech referring to their interests ;" also to consider a petition to the House of Commons " not to grant compensation for sati,- fying any claims arising out of the late war in the United States unless adjudicated by an impartial tribunal, according to the principles of equity and international law." The decision of the Vice-Chancellor with respect to the case of the South-Eastern of Portugal Rail way has given great satisfaction. The position of the shareholders and the debenture holders is quite bad enough as it is, without harassing the property with any more litigation. The check thus interposed will be salutary, and prevent any fresh attempts to disturb the arrangements which may be made to secure what is recoverable from the general wreck. The Tower Subway has now passed the nearest approach to the bed of the river, the top of the tunnel being twenty-three feet below the bed, and the engineer, Mr. Peter W. Barlow, jun., reports that at the present rate of progress the tunnel will reach high water mark on the Surrey side in ten weeks. The reports from the large corn producing dis tricts in Styria and Lower Austria are stated to be very satisfactory as regards the approaching har vest, the expectation being that it will equal that of last year, which was unprecedented. 'The accounts from the Hungarian districts are also, it is said, very encouraging, although in some parts rain has been wanted. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. CioxxivotErr _FUNDS. 3 peu - Cenf.

Account, July 7 DESTRUC7IVE FIUE AT A LICENSED FIC7UALLER'S.-7HIS DAY. This morning (Thursday), about half-past four o'clock, a fire, well nigh attended with a serious loss of life, happened in the premises belonging to Mr. J. Colgate, licensed victualler, and proprietor of the Duke of York Tavern, Charlotte-street, Goodge-street, Tottenham-court-road. At the time the police made the discovery the inmates were in their bed-, and it was with the utmost dif ficulty that they could be saved from meeting a horrible death. As it was, they were nearly stifled with heated smoke. In a very short space of time the engines, both steam and manual, at tended, and the plugs of the Grand Junc tion Company having been drawn, a plentiful supply of water was at once procured and the engines were set to work, but in spite of the exer tions of the firemen the flames continued to pro gress, and they rushed through the roof, causing great alarm in the neighbourhood. Eventually the fire was extinguished, but not btfore the tavern was nearly gutted. The origin of the fire is un known. Mr. Colgate was insured in the County and Royal Exchange fire offices. PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. WEDNESDAY. We are getting anxious again about the railway ques tion, just as we were before the elections, and very probably for the same reason. There is nothing else at present to think of. In a few days the short session of the Corps L6gislatif will open, and then we may look for lively times ; but at present things are stagnant. The Belgian railway affair is the only question of the day, and, unfortunately, it does afford ground for a little uneasiness, though not alarm. The commissioners have sat and sat, and un doubtedly they have done nothing. The members met yesterday, but without the slightest result. They meet again to-day "to examine fresh proposals." How many fresh proposals they have already examined it would be hazardous to guess, but they have met with nothing which would satisfy both Governments. It is to be hoped' that I shall soon be able to announce the end of this question, which is disquieting without possessing much interest ; but the Temps expresses the feer that the com missioners will separate, having nothing better to offerthe world than the status quo. It is strange, to say the least of it, that a question of a purely domestic character, and having, one would think, no connection with politics, should be debated so persistently and yet so fruitlessly. The Seventh Chamber continues to dispose slowly of the rioters. The persons brought before it are of divers professions. A good many plead guilty of having uttered seditious cries, but at the same time they complain very loudly of the rough conduct of the police. One who had a knife in his possession was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, and the others were dismissed with sentences varying from three months to fifteen days. One only was let off with six days. His crime had not been great. He had seen the police, according to his own statement, striking men and throwing down women, and he had told the sergents-de-ville that they were scoundrels for behaving in such a manner. Neither proces-verbal nor witness could be found against this culprit, but he admitted that he had used the word "scoundrel," and six days was therefore the reward of his confession. M. Lucien Dubois, editor of the Correspondance Generale, was likewise disposed of in the Seventh Chamber. This writer was accused of promulgating false news, and of exciting to hatred and contempt of the Government. It appears that unusual rigour was shown in his case. M. Dubois was seized at his house, carried off to Mazas, and there kept in secret confinement from the 10th until yesterday. He was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and a fine of £2O. M. Jouvencel, the Radical who was returned for the Seine-et-Marne department, has been wounded in a duel, and the report is now current that he is dead. It appears that a former functionary of the Government of 1848 had spread some disagreeable reports concerning the antece dents of the newly-elected deputy. A jury of honour was empanelled to settle this quarrel, but, unfortunately, fresh provocation was exchanged after the decision of the jury, and the disputants appealed to arms. M. Jouvencel was very seriously wounded. A case of election fraud has been tried In the Assize Court of the Saone-et-Loire. A schoolmaster in the little commune of Saint Martin d'Auxy, which contains only 188 inhabitants and 49 registered electors, was employed by the maire as a sort of secretary—the maire being very illiterate, like others of his kind. Though the school. master, Morin, had no great wit, he was employed in drawing up all the principal papers relative to the public business of the commune, and, amongst other duties, he was entrusted with the important one of seeing that the elections of the 23rd and 24th of May were fairly carried out. He did his business in strange style. The law prescribes that four assessors shall sit at the receipt of votes ; but the school master went to the polling-booth and sat there alone with the maire. He had the instructions of the prefect before him, but he regarded them not, and the maire it seems could neither read nor write. Forty-one out of the forty-nine electors polled on the Sunday. Thinking that no voter would present himself on the following day, Morin imagined hewould save himself trouble by drawing up his report beforehand, and he did so, getting the signatures of three persons who had not acted as assessors. He wanted a fourth, and asked a municipal coun cillor to sign, but the latter refused, and Morin accordingly appended the name himself. Finally, he carried off the box to his bedroom, opened it, took out the voting-papers, and destroyed sixteen that were in favour of M. Daron, substituting an equal number in favour of M. Chagot. The poll had to be open the next day (Monday), and accordingly the schoolmaster presented himself with his box, received one more vote in favour of M. Daron, and then proclaimed, with a loud voice, that M. Chagot had obtained forty-one votes and his competitor one ! Lastly, this genius, in his report, said that all the votes had been given to M. Chagot. The trial lasted a long time, but, strange to say, though Morin confessed Isis guilt, the jury returned a negative verdict on all points of the accu sation. The imbecility of the culprit seems to have ensured his safety. Surely a maire who can neither read nor write, and a schoolmaster who is half-mad, ought not to be entrusted with the care of public business. There are many such in France. Some of your readers will remember the story of Jeanneret, the Geneva nurse, who poisoned nine persons, and was condemned several months ago to the not excessive sentence of twenty years' imprisonment. This lady has again been distinguishing herself. She had been recklessly let out of her cell to do laundry work, and speedily availed herself of her liberty to frightfully burn a young girl with a hot iron, PIIE SUN, LONDON, THMISD.AIt RVEXING., JUNE q 4, JOINT-STOCK BANKS. siliess done Clos'ing Share NAME.

At the Marylebone Police Court, this day, Harriett Leesty, aged 22, of 196, Edgware-road, was charged with assisting in conducting a betting house at the same place. Mr. Beard appeared for the prisoner. Superintendent Draper said that, acting upon the Commissioner's warrant, he entered the house, the shop being kept as a tobacconist's. He saw the prisoner there and apprehended her. The occupier of the place, Mr. Clarkson, whom he wanted, was not in. Cross-examined—lt is a tobacconist's shop.. Pri soner serves behind the counter in that business. Found no documents or books relating to horse racing. Mr. Mansfield—At present there was no other evidence than that she was selling tobacco. Mr. Beard—The act says any person being con cerned, and I think it is the first time a female has been charged. Mr. Tate—Oh, no. John Keble proved having made a bet with the - ' prisoner. Mr. Mansfield considered the case proved, and at the same time said he thought it was unfair that the little flies should be caught in the cobweb whilst the large flies at Tattersall's should be allowed to go at large. He inflicted a penalty of 20s. A summons was granted against Clarkson. George Adams, aged 40, of 13, Adam-street West, Marylebone, dealer in cigars, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with keeping and using his house for the purpose of betting, and betting with persons resorting thereto. Thomas Lavies, of 7, John-street, Edgware-road, assistant to George Adams, was also charged with assisting in conducting the business of the said betting house. _ Mr. Superintendent Draper adduced evidence as to apprehending the prisoners, and said he could not find any books or documents. He, had reason to believe they had got scent of his raid upon Clarkson, and got all the papers and documents out of the way. Levies was always on the watch. Adams asked for an adjournment, as he had not had time to seek legal aid. Mr. Mansfield adjourned the case. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—this Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

MICHAEL AND ST. GEORGE. Mr. MONSELL said the delay in gazetting the ap pointments was owing to the necessity of commencing with persons residing in distant colonies. The decora tions would be distributed to the persons upon whom the distinction had been conferred, but they would have to be returned on the death of those to whom they had been given. THE RAID ON BETTING HOUSES, Mr. EYKYN asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department by what authority the police had been in structed to take legal proceedings against certain commis sion agents who were brought before Sir Thomas Henry on Saturday last. Whether these proceedings were based on the Ist or the 3d section of the Act of 1853 for the sup pression of betting houses; and, further, if he would state how far the interpretation which had been now put upon these sections will affect other establishments where bet ting is carried on ? Mr. BRUCE said the prosecutions had been instituted by the Chief Commissioner of Police, but with his (Mr. Bruce's) full consent and authority. It was not necessary that the prosecution should be based upon any particular section ; but all that was required was that the proceed ings should be based on the Act. He Could not say how far the prosecutions would affect other establishments, or how far those " other establishments" could be brought under the provisions of the Betting House Act. THE MORTALITY AT BARKING. 'Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Eastwick, said there was no intimation that any assistance was required by Sir El. Rawlinson, who was at present engaged to ascertain the causes of the mortality at Barking and as to the chemical state of the water in the ad) )Ming creek. If a medical inquiry was desired the inhabitants could communicate with the Home-office, when the matter would at once be at tended to; but it did not app..a,r :it necessary that a legal assessor should 1)3 appointed. IHE EXPLOSION AT HOUNSLOW. Mr.ItUCE, in reply to Viscount Enfield, said there was no permanent inspector of gunpowder works, but where any demand was made a competent person was at once scut to make the inspection. About three years ago an inspection was made of the weeks at Hounslow, and everything as far as safety was concerned was considered highly satisfactory. The cause of the explosion, as far as it could at present be ascertained, as Clore had been no verdict yet re:urned of the inquest, was that it had been occasioned by some accident to the machinery. There did not appear to be any reason for the apprehension of danger on the part of those per sons living in the vicinity of the works. There had been no evasion of the precautions laid down in the Gunpowder Act, neither was there any neglect on the part of the local authorities. .• THE DUBLIN FREEMEN'S DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL. Sir G.

HARCOURT proceeded to move his amendment to clause 4, the object of which was to give the occupier the privilege of the municipal and Parlia mentary franchise, notwithstanding that the owner had made provision for the payment of the rates.
