The sum of £15,000 in sovereigns from Alex andria was taken to the Bank yesterday. In consequence of the amount of bills hzld back during the past day or two in expectation of a re duction of the rate there was an increased demand for discount this morning both at the Bank and in the open market. The suspension has been announced of Messrs. Livesey and Thorpe, cotton brokers, at Liverpool, with an establishment also at Manchester. They occupied a high position, and their liabilities are probably large, The event, which is attributed to the recent numerous failures among cotton spin ners, has created surprise and anxiety, but they state they will be able, with time, to pay every ono in full. The failure has aho been announced of Messrs. Felix, Leach, and Co., cottonspinners and inanufac turers, Enfield Mils, near Accrington, and a meet ing of their ci'editors will be held next week. They enjoyed fair credit and au average ext , Jut of trade. At a meeting of Mexican bondholders yesterday, Mr. 11. B. Sheridan, M.P., in the chair, resolutions were adopted approving the form of memorial pre pared by the committee for presentation to the Forei,gn-office, and also of the intention of a chair man to call the attention of the House of Commons to the subject. At the close thanks were voted to the chairman and committee, Mr. Perry, the agent in Mexico, and Mr. Holmes, the London secretary. The movers:and seconders of the resolutions were Admiral Sir Provo Wallis, and Messrs. C. 111‘Garel, Edward Wright, J. Gerstenberg, and R. Hodgson. The Egyptian Commercial and Trading Com pany (Limited) have announced a further return of 4s. per share, payable on the 22d inst. The London and Provincial Marine Insurance Company have announced that they will make a payment on account of interest for the half-year ending June 30, at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. The United Kingdom Electric Telegraph Com pany yesterday announced the opening of the new direct submarine cable, via Denmark and the Baltic, to Russia. This route is stated to be also available for message; to India, China, Australia, Persia, &e. Additional submarine cables to Norway and Russia, via Sweden, in connexion wirh the same company, will be laid and opened during the present month, thus affording direct duplicate submarine commu nications with those countries. Tile directors of the London and Provincial Marine Insurance Company hare resolved to make a payment t) the shareho:ders on account of inte rest for the half-year ending the 30,h inst., at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. A memorandum from the secretary of the Egyp tian Commercial and Trading Company (Limited) says :—" Under the powers conferred upon them by the special resolution of the 2d and 16th November last, the directors of this company have resolved upon making a further return of 4s. per share upon the paid-up capital of the company to all share holdeis registered on the 12th inst. _ A general meeting of the proprietors of the London and Westminster Bank is called for the 21st July. Telegrams from Glasgow mention the failure of Messrs. Murdoch and Dodderell, an old-established firm of sugar refiners, with liabilities to the amount of about £150,000, including a large sum due for sugar. No certain information has been received with respect to the liquidation, but the impression is that it will not be unfavourable. The premises of the house were burnt down some years ago, and were rebuilt at a cost of upwards of £lOO,OOO. The London, Chatham, and Dover Railway traffic return, including the Metropolitan Extension and branches, show this week a decrease of £1,043, compared with the corresponding period of last year; the Metropolitan Extension, separately, a decrease of £481; the North Eastern, a decrease of £740; the Lancashire and Yorkshire, a decrease of £23,873 ; and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin colnshire, a decrease of £3,395. The second ordinary general meeting of the Ebbw Vale Steel, Iron, and Coal Company (Limited) will be held on the 25th inst. An extraordinary meeting of the London and Australian Agency Corporation is convened for the 21st inst., for the purpose of altering the articles of association. Vice-Chancellor Mathis has fixed the 22d inst. for the appointment of a liquidator of the Marine Investment Company (Limited), "in the place of Henry Alfred Coffey, by consent removed from his office of one of the liquidators of the said com pany." _ Tha return from the Bank of England for the week ended the 9th of June gives the following results when compared with the previous week : Rest PuLlic deposits Other deposits 17,16J,319 ...

J ,uso's, Hone Do. account July 7 OXFORD COMMEMORATION. We strongly suspect that the Oxford Commemoration is a thing of the past, so far as the conferring of degrees in the Sheldonian Theatre is concerned. Although no cele brities were honoured with degrees, and thus one cause of contention was taken away, the undergraduates were more uproarious than ever. For three-quarters of an hour a bachelor who bad adorned himself with a green tie was shouted at until he left the building. The gallery then turned its attention to the ladies. The Times thus describes the saturnalia:—" Occasional outbursts of gallantry on the entrance of ladies to the semicircle had chequered the previous time of dreary row ' with gleams of a better spirit. The Ladies in yellow," in green,' 'in blue,' &c., had from time to time been given and cheered. Now, however, this necessary portion of the proceedings was taken thoroughly in hand, and treated with the habitual exhaustiveness. When varieties of colour failed, other categories were resorted to, and tribute due was paid to Pretty faces,' to the Girls of the period,' to the Ladies engaged,' the Ladies un attached,' the Chaperones,' the ' Ladies in hats,' the Ladies in spectacles,' the Ladies that wear their own hair' (prolonged cheering), and All the ladies,' Political cries followed. Lord Derby was cheered heartily and repeat. edly, as were Mr.Gathorne Hardy,Sir Bounden Palmer,and the Bishop of Oxford. A storm of applause followed the cry of ' The House of Lords.' The names of Mr. Glad stone and Mr. Disraeli provoked a contest of applause and hisses. Some good cheers were given for 'Bob Lowe,' and some hearty groans for John Bright.' Dr. Pusey was repeatedly cheered. Keble College,' Keble College Eight," The 'Varsity Four,' 'The American Four,' were among cries which struck us as new. Otherwise no par ticular gift of invention was discernible, the staple cries producing generally the accustomed amount of approbation or disapprobation. At a little before eleven the great gates opposite the Divinity School were thrown open, and the procession entered—a procession less august than any which we ever remember to have presented itself on the occasion. Almost the only unfamiliar personage was Bishop Claughton (Colombo), whom few had seen since he quitted the university about thirty years ago. The re mainder consisted of the Heade of Houses, the Proctors, the Registrar, and a few other resident and non-resident doctors. The Vice-Chancellor opened the proceedings in tolerable quiet, but the delivery of the Crewian Oration by the Public Orator was the signal for the renewal of disturb. ance ; the speaker was interrupted by a running fire of Tim tions and remarks, which were more witty than compli mentary, and very little of his speech reached any other ears than his own. When he finally sat down the Vice-Chan cellor rose, and having with great difficulty obtained silence, announced that if the proceedings were interrupted any 'more the Encomia would be abruptly closed. The recitation of the prizes (there being no honorary degrees) then commenced; but very little could be beard of any except the Newdigate, which was listened to with tolerable attention, and interrupted less than usual. The series of recitations approached completion, when attention was unfortunately attracted to a ' white hat,' held, though not worn, by a gentleman in the area. The Undergraduate is afflicted by a disease which, for want of a better name, we may term Pileo albo-phobia.' At the sight of a hat of the obnoxious hue he foams, he shrieks ; he is no longer master of his actions. The solemn warning had been given by the Vice-Chan cellor ; the warning was understood to imply a probability, at least, of the abolition of Commemoration for all time to come--a terrible consequence this, which those present would, one might have thought, fully appreciate ; but all was in vain. With the hatred white hat' before their eyes the infuriated mob of undergraduates could do nothing but rave and boot ; and the Vice-Chancellor, unable to obtain attention, rose from his seat, and, accompanied by the doctors, left the building. A volley of groans followed, the exact meaning and abject of which appeared uncer tain. We had thought disapproval of the abrupt termina• tion of the proceedings was intended ; but we have since heard that the procuratorial staff was the special object of the demonstration."

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT•) PARIS, THURSDAY, June 10. The great apartments of the Tuileries were splendidly lighted up yesterday, and there was great animation in the court of the Palace, and on the Place du Carrousel. A grand ball was being given in honour of the Queen of Holland. The Court was having its measure of enjoyment, and the public of Paris seemed to have determined that it would not be deprived of its share likewise. Whilst the ball was going on at the Tuileries, there were other sounds of revelry by night, in a different part of the capital. The riots, which were inaugurated by the police, have been kept up with infinite spirit by the populace, and I am sorry to say that last night, forty-eight hours after the termination of the polling, the disturbances were more serious than on the previous occasions. The disorderly business began on the Boulevard Mont martre about nine o'clock. A group of about fifty persoss suddenly made its appearance beforg one of the cafs. This small mob sprang from nobody knows where, and was probably got together for the express purpose of a little mischief. It was soon increased. One voice struck up the " Marseillaise," and then the " riot " commenced. The crowd soon assumed huge pro portions, circulation being extremely difficult, but still no violence was offered. The demonstration was confined to the vigorous rendering of the Republican chant. About ten o'clock, the cafés, seeing the crowd increase still more, decided to shut up. Their inmates added to the magnitude of the mob, the street got entirely full, and carriages could not pass without the utmost difficulty. The shut ting of the cafés, depriving the Parisians of their favourite beverages, added to their discontent, the shouting and singing became very loud, horseplay followed, and one omnibus was upset, we are told. Then the sergents-cle• Ole, who, be it remembered, had this time kept carefully out of sight, made their appearance, followed by troops, the Passages Jouffroy, des Panoramas, and de l'Op6ra were closed, and the troops, occupying all the principal streets, began to summon the .people to disperse by the beat of drum. Soon the Boulevard was comparatively deserted. Here, you will perceive, nothing serious hap pened, and yet a great number of arrests were made. At Belleville, as might have been expected, things took a graver turn. That quarter of the city was invaded, about half-past nine, by a flying column of about 200 persons, unknown in the district, and mostly very young. Without any apparent design, this mob waxed in propor tions and in impudence. It sang the "Marseillaise, shouted, and commenced a war against things in general. Imperialism was not the special object of its hos- tility, election excitement did not regulate the dispensa tion of its favours. It was simply a mob of roughs, and in the absence of the police, it gave way to all sorts of fantasies. Stones were thrown against the fronts of shops, windows were smashed, and some adventurous spirits climbed up and put cut the gaslights in all directions. It looked very much as if the police desired to get up a riot. Where there was a mere crowd without disorder, as on Monday night, the sergents excited animosity by unnecessary intervention. Here a disgraceful crowd, whose pranks had clearly nothing to do with politics, were left in peace, even after they had begun the destruction of property. The ma rauders rapidly progressed iu audacity. They knocked down a kiosk, one of the little temple-like buildings in which newspapers are sold, then the ruins were seton fire, and a tremendous blaze created. The firemen were sent for, their arrival being hailed by the famous ditty, " Les Pompiers de Nanterre." After ten o'clock our ' flying column, much augmented, and greatly ex cited by these signal victories, resumed the march. The red flag was hoisted, and the triumphant army of canaille moved on from the Rue du Faubourg.- du-Temple to the Rue Fuliellegnault, where a grand attack was made upon a cafes, which was sacked. Another house was beleaguered, but the arrival of some troops of the line, with a squadron of cavalry, speedily raised the siege, and the mob was dispersed without trouble. The field of battle presented a serious aspect. The Rue du Faubourg-du-Temple, where the flying column first commenced operations, was a complete wreck. You will perceive that this, the most destructive of the riots that have occurred in the capital during the week, was wholly the work of a mob of the lowest order. Politics had not the remotest connection with the disturbance. The disgraceful affair was simply the result of the inter ference of the police on Monday. Let the representatives of order and authority keep a watch over the crowd by all means, but undue meddling, particularly at election time, only produces the disorder it is meant to prevent. At the first balloting there were immense crowds on the central boulevards, but no distur bances took place. What ground was there, then, to apprehend disorder at the second ballot? The row of Monday was the direct effect of the bad conduct of the police; the riot of yesterday was the further consequence. The Temps says that upwards of 800 arrests have been made in the three days. Unfortunately, this affair at Belleville, though the most serious disturbance in Paris, is surpassed in gravity by the riots at Nantes. From this place the news is undoubtedly bad. I mentioned that some uproar took place there on Monday. These were not of very great moment, but on Tuesday and yesterday the aspect of affairs b-came very grave indeed. As I said before, these troubles are directly attributable to political causes. The el esAors of Nantes had given their votes for the Liberal, and they found that the offi cial candidate had been returned by the votes of coe,ntrydis tricts, which had been incluoed in the Nantes circumscrip tion, though by no means belonging tc it. To protest against this unfair proceeding—rod the same thing has been done in other parts of France—was a perfectly legitimate proceeding, and toe voters did protest. A large number of them assembled, and loudly proclaimed their dissatisfaction as toe manoeuvres of the Government. But this spontavo,ons and inoffensive expression of discontent soon dsgenerated into violence. Great crowds assembled on Tu and yesterday, singing the " Marseillai3o," vituperatinv the official candidates, and exalting M. Guepin, the Liberal whom they had not been able to elect. The cross de were comprised almost entirely of workmen, who had been thus disappointed. They went to serenade M. Gudpin, but he refused to countenance the disorder, and did not make his appearance. The mob then went to one of the squares, where they lit large fires, which were fed with wood taken from the adjoining property. Window-smashing to a large extent was, of course, included in these festivities. Finally, with evident designs of mischief, the mob moved towards the Prefecture ; but here they were met by a strong force of soldiers and dispersed. Later on in the evening the crowds began to collect again, and there was more stone-throwing and window-breaking. The mob, armed with bars of iron, committed devastation in various parts of the town. But the crowdi now were not corn. posed of working men ; they were lads. They kept up the spirit of the thing, however, admirably ; for at four o'clock on Tuesday morning Nantes was still a prey to uproar. . Last night the riots recommenced, and two shots were fired on the troops. A proposal was made to burn down the residence of the official candidate, but the police prevented this act of folly. Nantes is now calm. It is stated that the Government intend to intro duce a bill to disfranchise the freemen of Dublin. The writ will. in the meantime, be suspended. At Liverpool, on Wednesday, two men were charged with sending meat unfit for human food to the Liverpool market. The case having been proved against them, the bench refused to inflict a fine, and committed the defendants to prison for one month each with hard labour. On Wednesday a very brief telegram was re ceived in Liverpool, from Bombay, to the effect that the ship Great Northern had been totally wrecked off Bombay, and that 15 of the crew had perished. The Great Northern was of North American build, having been constructed at Mira michi in 1858. She was a wooden vessel of 1,402 tons burden, and was owned in Liverpool by Messrs. Fernie Brothers, the agents of the Merchants' Shipping Company (Limited). The vessel sailed from the Mersey for Bombay en the 12th December, 1868, under the command of Captain Flarty. The accident which happened to a gentleman of Runcorn through his putting his head out of the window of a railway carriage while it was in motion on the London and North-Western Railway has terminated fatally. An inquest has been held on the body. It having been stated that some years ago an engine-driver was killed on the same spot, and it appearing that the bridge across the rails was most un usually narrow, the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death," with a recommendation to the London and North- Western Company that the attention of their engineer, Mr. V. Worthington (who was present), should be directed to the dangerous state of the bridge. MADAME TUSSAUD'S.—Ever anxious to keep pace with the times, the proprietors of the far-famed Wax-work Exhibition, in Baker-street, have now on view some of the most elaborate and truly magnificent and costly Court dresses, manufactured by the great and popular firms of Paris, that it has ever before been in our power to so fully eulogise as those which are now to be seen, and every dress is in itself a perfect gem of loveliness, and will well, unquestionably, fully repay a visit to every sight-seer to the exhibition. ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—The society will meet on Tuesday, June 15, at eight o'clock precisely, when the following papers will be read : —" Ou the Stature and Bulk of Man in the British Islands," by Dr. Beddoe, President; "On Civilisation, with special reference to the so-called Celtic inhabitants of Ireland," by J. Gould Avery, Esq., F.A.S.L. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COUR7 -(7 Mu) OLD COURP. THE CHARGE OF ROBBERY AGAINST THE SECRETARY OF THE ORDER OF FORESTERS. At the sitting of the Court the further prosecu tion of Mr. Siiruson was withdr on the ground that the evidence was, in effect, precisely the same ou which the defendant was acquitted on the charge of embezzlement yesterday afternoon. NEIN' COLTR r. THE SHAM INSURANCE COMPANY.. George Reed and Edward Jones were iudicted for obtaining money by false pretences, and also with conspiring. Mr. Straight prosecuted ; Mc. Davin and Mr. ILrris defended Reed. The facts of the case were very complicated, but it appeared that in ISG7 the Filet:el-in-Need Benefit Society became uterge.d in a society called the Provincial Union Assurance Company, of which a man named Johnson was the principal man, and the defendant (R-ed) was represented as dis trict agent of the said company ; but in 1867 the Provincial Union Assurance Company got into diffi culties, and finally the company was wound up in accordance with the Act of Parliament ; but not withstanding that fact the defendant Reed continued to carry on the business of agent and to receive sub scriptions from some persons who had insured in the Provincial Union although there were no funds to meet the policy when it should become a claim. The office of the prisoner Reed was at 4, Chatham-place, Blackfriars ; but at length the whole of the financial condition of even " the company" became hopeless, and advertisements were inserted for a clerk who could find security. Ultimately finding that this dodge would not do, a new company was started under the title of the National Provincial Union Insur ance and Loan Society (Limited), . with a capital of £lO,OOO in 10,000 shares of £1 each, and a prospectus was issued giving a list of persons with fashionable addresses as direc tors, but who, in reality, were either butlers or footmen in families at the west end of the town. A person was found simple enough to advance £3OO or £4OO, and with the defendant Reed, who appeared in the prospectus as secretary, attempted to carry on the concern at 4, Chatham-place. The prisoner Jones then came upon the scene, and although he was not so active as the prisoner Reed in carrying on the " company," yet he had so far taken part in the bubble as to bring himself within the law. The learned gentleman said he should di,regard all observations that would be made on his conduct by the counsel defending, about heap ing prejudice on the prisoners, and do all he could to obtain the conviction of the two men at the bar, and thus, to that extent at least, protect the public against the acts of such men of straw as the prisoners. The trial was proceeding -"hen we went to press. DREADFUL COLLILRY EXPLOSION. TYDFIL, 7 hundiy.

" EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF BIGAMY AND FRA UD.—(This Day).

The depositions having been real, Miss Lee, the prosecurix, in reply t Mr. Louis Lewis, said the marriage had never been consummated. The prisoner was then formally committed for trial.

The prisoners, William George Davy and his wife, charged with attempting to poison John Mayes Davy at Swaffham, have been committed for trial. STATE OF TRADE. MANCIIESTETt, June 10.—The market is quiet both in yarns and cloths. Buyers decline to follow the advancing prices which sellers are compelled to demand in consequence of dearer cotton, and con fine their orders to quantities sufficient to cover pressing necessities. Price, however, continue firm. The suspension was mentioned on the Ex change to-day of an old-established firm of good repute hitherto—Messrs. Livesey and Thorpe. Messrs. Livesey and Thorpe are cloth agents in Manchester, cotton brokers at Liverpool, and are extensive cotton spinners and manufacturers at Blackburn. It appears that the affairs of the firm in Manchester were in a sound state, and that it is the affairs of the Liverpool house that have involved the firm. The liabilities are said to be about £300,000. Messrs. Felix, Leach, and Co., spinners and manufacturers, are also reported as having stopped payment, with lia bilities amounting to £30,000. Both firms are highly respected in the neighbourhood, and until this announcement were supposed to be in a pros perous and wealthy position. BRADFORD, 10th.—A rather firmer tone pervades the wool-market today. This arises not from more business being done, but from the firmness of the country markets. Still in the present uncertainty as to business and prices spinners are quite indis posed to operate beyond the most pressing require ments. Purchases are still confined to the best lustre and demi-lustre wools. Prices generally are a shade firmer. There is rather more inquiry in worsted yarns, but there is no appreciable increase of business. Continental merchants still make offers, but they are so low that they are seldom accepted. A steady business continues to be done on home account, particularly in lustre and coloured wefts. Prices continue firm. No change can be reported in the piece trade. If anything there is a quieter feeling, though there is no want of confidence. The reduc tion in the Bank rate of discount has tended in some measure to reassure. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

Yet this grand discovery was reserved for Hollo way. His purely vegetable extracts can be safely and effectively used by all persons suffering from external or internal ailments. The directions wrapped found every of of Ointment and every box of Pills are amply suffi cient to guide the most diffident and encourage the most timid. t% hen illness makes its appearance, and remedies are eagerly sought after, none will be found more effectual than Holloway's in alleviating and assuaging the pains of the diseased and afflicted ; both Ointment and Pills purify and preserve.

PARIS, June 11 The disturbances of Ur!, Boulevard Moran .rt e were more serious yesterday than tie rioting wh:eli took at I.l.llleville. Order was not disturbed in the Faubourg St. Antoine; but in the neiglt bouring stree•, Rue St. Marguerite, no agent of the police could penetrate after 10 o'clock. S.:vet - al r. d fl Igs were displayed on the 1t ruses in this local i ty. A very large crowd collected at the Bastille, but was disrersed without having recourse to arms. On the Boulevard Montmartre an attempt was made to erect a barricade with kiosks and the benches and tables of the cafes. The police hemmed in the crowd and arrested 500 persons. IMPERIAL PARLIA MENT lIOUSE OF LORDS—This EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wooliack at five o'clock. THE IRISH CHURCH. Lord BATEMAN asked what course the Government intended to adopt with respect to the Irish Church Bill. He was deeply sensible of the difficulty in which the house was placed with respect to this bill, but he feat the ques tion he wished answered would relieve many of them from the anxiety which they felt. On the one hand, there was the bill introduced by a powerful party, and supported by a large majority of the House of Communes. It was also well known that a large majority of their lordships were opposed to the bill, but they wero threatened on every side that they must accept and not modify the measure. Now he wished to know whether the Government endorsed these threats. The Earl of CARNARVON protested against any inci dental discussion. Lord CAIRNS agreed with the observations of the noble ea.l. Lord BATEMAN said in deference to the observations of his noble friends he would not put Isis question, but he still felt that it would greatly have facilitated the course of their lordships' business. Earl GRANVILLE thought the remarks of the noble loid as most inopportune, as ho thought a premature dis cussion was, above all things, to be avoided. He would state the course that would be pursued by the Govern ment on Monday on moving the second reading of tL•e bill, but iu the meantime he could only remark that there was not the slightest intention on the part of her Majesty's Government to depart from the respectful position which they owed to the House of Commons, and he would at the same time add, to their lordships' house also. The Duke of ABERCORN presented a petition from Belfast against the Irish Church Bill. The noble duke, in presenting the petition, stated that a great change had taken place, not only amongst Protestants and Presby terians, but throughout the north of Ireland, with respect to the bill, but he might say that at the meeting from which the petition eminated there were not less than 80,000 persons present. Several bills were forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-THIS DAY. The SPRAYER took the chair at two o'olook. The discussion of the clauses of the Bankruptcy Bill in committee was proceeded with. The principle points dis cussed was the constitution of the Court of Bankruptcy under the new bill. During the discussion it transpired that Mr. Commissioner Bacon was the person who, in the event of the bill passing, would receive the appointment of superior judge of the court. Several members objected to the appointment, on the ground that there would nut bo sufficient business to justify such an appointment. It was stated that the result of the sanctioning the bill would not lead to the expenditure of £5,000 for the salary of the new judge, as Mr. Commissioner Bacon would, on the abolition of the old system, receive a pen sion of £2,000, and lie would prefer making his services available for the public service rather thau being placed altogether iu retirement. The Attorney- General said that in place of the present district courts which would be abolished by the bill, the business would be transferred to the county courts, who, before any pro position was made to increase their salaries, it was thought advisable to ascertain the amount of additional work per formed before any settled arrangement was made. The consideration of the various a mendments occupied the house until the sitting was suspended. COURSE Of EXCHANGE.
