There were no gold operations at the Bank yes terday. The bar silver brought by the West India packet has been sold at 60id. per ounce, and the small quantity of Mexican dollars at 59id., showing in both instances an advance of id. upon the previous rates. The large parcel of dollars advised from Mexico did not come forward by the steamer, but will probably arrive in the course of the next two or three weeks via New York. The Manchester markets have opened without any increase of business, but higher prices are de manded to meet the improvement in cotton. The Board of Trade returns for the past month again entirely fail to harmonise with the current complaints of commercial stagnation. The de clared value of our exportations shows an increase of £1,646,505, which is equal to an increase of 11 per cent. on the total of the corresponding month of last year, and 21 per cent. on that of May, 1867. By the telegram via Lisbon, of Rio news to the Bth June, it appears that the Corute d'Eu had ad vanced to Lopez's position in the mountains, and had destroyed his foundry. Lopez had with drawn his advanced corps. With reference to the projected Turkish rail ways, the representative of the Anglo-Austrian Bank, Mr. Carl von Mayer, and Mr. Hartung, director of the Vienna Bank Corporation, have gone to Baden-Baden to have interviews with seve ral fore'gn financiers. the conducting of the financial operations will probably be entrusted, amongst others, to the Credit Anstalt, the Anglo- Austrian Bank, the Vienna Bank Corporation, and the Frauco-Austrian Bank. The Metropolitan Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of £2,910 over the corre eponding week of last year; and the Glasgow and South Western an increase of £537. The unusual heat in India seems to be affecting the traffic of sonic of the railways. The receipts on the Lucknow and Cawnpore line of 42 milts, for the week ending the 15th of May, were only £319, ag . iinst £621 for the corresponding week of last year. The falling off is officially stated to be " due to conveyance of construction materials last year, and to excessive heat this year." At the annual meeting of proprietors of the Bank of South Australia, the report of the directors was unanimously adopted, and a dividend declared at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, free of in come tax. At a meeting of the Assam Company, the report of the directors was adopted, and an interim divi dend of 2f per cent. was declared. The chairman stated that the prospects of the crops of the present season are good. The directors of the Illinois Central Railroad Company have resolved that a dividend of 5 per cent. in cash, free of Government tax, be paid on the 2d of August to the holders of the full paid shares registered on the 17th of July. In accordance with a notification from the Syn dicate of the Italian Irrigation Canal Company, the secretary in London has intimated that the coupons due on the Ist July, 1869, of the Septennial Bands and Obligations of the company will now be re ceived for payment.

The police proved that they found him et twelve last night in Westbourne-street, Pimlico, sittieg on his box in the state described. Mr. Arnold—What have you to say ? Defendant - I have often carried you. Mr. Arnold—Have you? That is no excuse for your getting drunk. Defendant—Well, I wasn't so drunk:but what I could keep my seat, and I don't see what they had to do with me. I have not been drunk since 1861. 'Why, I have often driven you, and you must know I am safe. Mr. Arnold—lf you have driven me I hope you wore sober, but I think it is some mistake of yours. Defendant—Not the least, your worship. Why, I found your hare in my cab. Mr. Arnold —My hair. What do you mean ? Defendant -A hare to heat. Mr. Arnold- I don't remember about it. You must make a mistake. Defendant—l could't make a mistake. I took the Imo to your houso and gave it to your good lady. She told 1110 she was just agoing out to gA out. ?Jr. Arnold—When it? Dcfendant-1 don't romonib2r that. Mr. Arnold - I believe the whole story to be an inven ticn of yours.

Barrett, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing som.) gold cakes, the property of his em ployer, Mr. Barnard, artist's colourmau, No. Great Tichfield-street. Mr. Barnard said that in consequence of some gold cakes being missed from a room in the warehouse at the top of the house, to which only the prisoner and two others i❑ his employ had access, he questioned theta respecting it, and the prisoner's answers not being satisfactory, he made other inquiries, and discovered that the prisoner had taken the cakes, of the value of .£1 10s., and sold them to a refiner in Prince's-street, Leicester-square. Mr. Wm. Cutt,a, in the employ of Mr. Smart, refiner, of Prince's-street, proved purchasing the gold dust cf the prisoner for different sums, the prisoner telling him, in answer to a question, that his father had just•died, and that the gold dust was found at the bottom of the box, and that his name was Evans. ' Francis Beetleston, 80 E, said that on taking the pri soner into custody ho admitted taking the gold cakes, and said that he had thrown the cases in which they were contained beind the prosecutor's house, and ho (Beetles ton) there found some of them, and at the prisoner's lodg ings he found some articles which were identified by Mr. Barnard as his property. The prisoner asked to have the case settled at once. Mr. Barnard said the prisoner had been seven years in his employ and he wished him dealt leniently with. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for two months with hard labour, remarking that but for the prosecutor's intercession he would have committed him for six months.

SAVAGE ASSAULT ON THE POLICE. —George Harris, aged 49 years, George Harris, 22, and Thomas Hodges, 18, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with vio lently assaulting two police-constables, named Butler and Caunt of the K division. Last night two of the prisoners were fighting with another man in Dean-street, Shadwell, and on the two constables endeavouring to remove them they were shamefully attacked and beaten. Caunt's finger being severely bitten by one of the two prisoners. The prisoners, in defence, said they were ill-used by the police constables, and wished to call several witnesses whom they named. Mr. Paget adjourned the case, and sent Pawsey, a police constable, for the witnesses. FAST ASLEEP ROBBERY.—Bridget Smith, a red haired and very rough-looking Irish girl, was brought before Mr. Pdget, charged with stealing a coat and a pair of boots from the person of William Queen, a seaman. The prosecutor said he went to a house in Bluegate fields, Shadwell, yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, for the purpose of visiting a shipmate, and fell fast asleep. Mr. Paget—Were you sober ? Witness—Yes, sir ; quite sober. Mr. Paget—How came you to fall fast asleep at 10 o'clock in the morning ? Witness•—l fell off the chair I was sitting on, and went fast asleep on the floor. While I was asleep that woman robbed me of my coat and boots. _ Mr. Paget asked the seaman if there was any other witness, and was answered that a woman saw the prisoner commit the robbery, but she was not in attendance. Mr. Paget Seek for her and bring her here. Put the prisoner back. It is no use putting the prisoner in the dock until the case is complete. MARICE 7 S-2 111 S DAY. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. June 29.—Sales probably 15,000 bales, possibly more. The market quiet and unchanged. A German corresponlent states that the last born child of the Emperor of Austria is to be " brought up as au English princess." She was born at Buda not two years ago, and her mother, the Empress, has appointed an English unmarried holy to be head of her house hold (which is to be composed of English people) ; her nurse has been English; the first tongue she learns is to be Euglish, and the privileges accorded to the lady who is to superintend the establishment of the infant princess are unparalleled. The Empress Elizabeth's predolictions for everything English are so great that she speaks German with an English accent, and this determined Anglicising of her last child pleases the Hungarians, among whom the little princess was born. Sixty thousand sealskins, valued at half a million dollars, consigned to the successors of the Russian-Ame rican Fur Company, arrived at San Francisco from Alaska within a toy days.

THE AWFUL MURDER AND SUICIDE IN THE CITY. -0 , IMPERIAL PARLI:g. N ENT CORONER'S INQUEST.-THIS DAY. At half-past two o'clock this afternoon Mr: IV J. Payne, the deputy-coroner for London and Southwark, opened an inquest in the board room of St. Bartholomew's hospital on the respeeti% e bodies of Walter James Duggan, Engine Duggan, Alice, Jesse, Robert Thomas, Edda Frances, Emma Charlotte, and an infant name] George some particulars of whose awful death have all., ady appeared in this journal of Monday and yesterday. Notwithstanding the immense size of the roJrn, the same was densely crowded, and the greltest excite ment prevailed throughout the whole of the pro ceedings. '1 he jury having been sworn and the foreman chosen, they proceedei to the residence of Mrs. Chawner in Hosier-lane, Smithfield, where the whole of the eight bodies were lying in the same state as when first discovered. The rooms showed unmistakable evidences of great poverty prevailing in the place. The jury, upon viewing the awful BCOLIC3, appeared to be greatly moved. Upon their return to court the following evidence was ad duced : - -- HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tuts DA T. The SPEAKER took tl►e chair at. 12 o'clock'. TRE OVEREND AND GURNEY TRIAL. Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Erskyn, said the matter of the prosicutiou in this case had been fully considered in the cabinet, and the result arrived at was there was nothing in this case that should remove it from those of ordinary cases where the pro secution is left to those who had boon sufferers. The only proceleut was that of the loyal British Bank, when the prosecution was carried on at the expense of the Go verumetA, but that was a case to be avoided rather than fsdlowed. The Government had been applied to to fur nish funcis for the prosecution of the directors of the Leeds Batik, bet that application had been refused, and it was thought quite impossible to furnish funds to carry on a prosecution, the conduct of which would not rest in their hands. He was quite aware that it would be said there was an inconsistency in the Go vernment Froseeutiug Madame Rachel and refusing to do so in the case of the directors in tha case of Overend, Gurney, and Company, but the question in the former was totally different from that in the latter. In Madame itachel's case the question was whether a par ticlar judge had jurisdiction to try the case, and upon that the previous conviction and sentence of five years penal servitude dtpended, and so great public importance attached to the determination of the question that the Government felt bound . to take the matter up. The Lord Chief Justice had decided that a prosecutor could not in that court conduct his case in per son, and he thought it would bevidmitted that he was a competent authority on the point. The Government having fully considered the whole of the matter, were of opinion that the circumstances of the case of Overeud, Gurney and Co., did not afford sufficient reason for making any exception to the general rule. Mr. EYKEN gave notice that to-morrow he should call the attention of the house to the subject. (Hear, hear.) Mr. FAWCETT asked if it was competent for a soli citor to conduct the prosecution ? Mr. Barber, of the firm of Wyld and Barber, here informed the Coroner that he appeared to watch the case for Mr. Adams, in consequence of certain remarks having been made in the news papers. The Coroner—Never mind what appeared in the newspapers ; we will hear what he has to say on oa h. Mr. Inspector Everett was called, and produced the letter written by Duggan on the morning of the fearful tragedy, which the Coroner perused, and then read carefully the one which he had sent to his brother. Daniel Evans, sergeant in the City Police, sta tioned at Smithfield, said that on Monday last he received a letter by post at 8 o'clock in the morn ing, bearing the date of that day. It did not bear the mark of where it was posted. One of the letters the mother had not seen. Mr. BRUCE could not say, as he was not well-informed on the subject they practice in law courts. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. The debate on the proposition for discontinuing the collecting of agricultural statistics was resumed, but after a short discussion the motion of Mr. PELL for their dis continuance was withdrawn. The Coroner—l will show it to her presently, for form's sake. The mother was called, and deposed that the letter received at the station was in her son's handwriting. The examination in chief resumed.---In conse quence of that letter he went to the house about half-past eight, but could not get in. He, with other officers, went to the next house, and opened a back window on the first floor. A - man named Jenkin Thomas went in and came down and opened the door, when he and Sergeant Goodeve went into the house, and on the first floor front room on a table he found this bottle (produced) and a Bible. The book was not opened, but the in irriage certifi cate was pinned on the first leaf of the Bible. There was a little fire in the room burning, and some pieces of partly burned paper. On the second floor back room on a bed he found a man lying un dressed, and dead. His arms were under the clothes, and near the side of the bed he found this bottle and a spoon (produced.) The bottle was labelled Shields hydrocenic acid. He then went into the front room, and iu a cot by the door he found the body of a boy also dead. lie was rather inclined to be reclining ou his left side. On the left of the bed he found in bed a woman undressed, and also dead. She was lying on her back undressed. On the right side of her was a boy apparently four years old,o, dead ; and on the left side a child (a girl) also dead, and at the foot of the bed another child also dead. They were undressed. In another bed he found two other children un lressel and dead. They did not appear to have st:uggled. 1)r. Wilson was seat for and attended. Ile found another bottle in the same room. Witness did not conntuminte with Bribtol. Tulin:-cot. ;able 271 said that h w(nt with Ser geant Evans to the Louse.and Fs3isted in seirchiug the place. lie could confirm all that the sl!rgeaut had state I, and a lded that found the Fp uu (produced) on the bed at the womiu's right si !e— -the woman's arm were under the bed-clothes --the spoon apoeare.l to have been p'ace I there, and not thrown there C list tuned a desk, and in it 103. an 14i ‘»stage stamps, an 1 soul) paper paper writings: By a Juror—The children's c!othes we:e lying in a he ip on the top of the dr.iw,ns, near the wan's bed. The second bottle was_futrid on a char near the Kll:: lAA. Eliza 'Loverage, of Hosier-lane, opposite the house of the deceased persons, said that she kunv the family, and saw the children on Sunday morn ing whist the IN inclow was half open. They were at breakfast, but she did not see Mr. or Mr 2. Dug gan. She spoke to her she believed once. The children appeared as if they were in a very poor state. She went out and returned home at eleven o'clock at night, and at twelve o'clock she could see a light in the room. About ten minutes before four o'clock on Monday morning she saw a light as if a fire was burning. It was then broad day-light. She knew nothing of the family herself. She did not sec Duggan go out that morning. Wm. Vurvey, wholesale chemist - , of King-street, Snow-hill, said he did not know Duggan, and did not remember having ever sold him anything. Witness produced a book having an entry in it of selling 2 ozs of prussic acid to a man named Fearon on the 14th of June. He did not think the two bottles produced were the same as he sold. He had seen the body of the man Duggan, and did not believe that he was the man he sold the acid to. On Tuesday morning the police and Mr. Brett came to him, and he told them that he had sold tWo bottles of prussic acid to a man who had been a customer for two years. He had not seen the dead body at that time. Prussic acid was used by silversmith's and electro-platers in their trade. There was a great quantity used by them. He never sold prussic acid to any one without he knew the party well, and he then entered the sale in a book kept for that purpose. Mr. Stephenwright, a licensed victualler, said that he kept the Wheatsheaf, in Smithfield, and knew the children. One of the dead boys came to his house at 11 o'clock on Sunday night and took a stone bottle containing a pot of fourpenny ale away him. Sergeant Goodeve proved finding the bottle iu a cupboard in the house which smelt of ale, but not as if it had any acid in it. Dr. Willson, of Farriogdon-street, said he was called on Monday last by the police, and repaired to the house. He saw the body of the eldest boy iu bed dead. He had been dead several hours. The Witness minutely described the positions he found the other bodies, which have already appeared in this journal. The man and the woman did not ap pear to have been dead so long as the children. The bodies of the man and woman were quite warm, and had probably died about the same time. There might be this inference, that the children might have been poisoned whilst asleep. He found acid on the lips of one of the children. His opinion was that the man died last, and he thought that the woman had either taken it herself or had it administered to her after she was in bed. The reason he believed the man died last was, that he died in one room and the female in the other, and he could not have walked from one room to the other after taking the poison. In answer to the coroner, Dr. Wilson said that he was of opinion that the woman was a consorting party to the poisoning of the children. Mr. G. Wm. Adams, silversmith, 15,16, and 17, Hosier-lane, deposed that the deceased had given him notice to leave his employ on the 3d of April last. On that day he said that he was ill and unable to continue his situation, as his lungs were affected, and a homoeopathic doctor had told him that he must seek other employment. Witness wanted her to stop, and said, " Look at me, I have lived 21 years with only one NU. Con- ANNUITY TAX (EDINBURGH) BILL. Mr. WLAREN moved the second reading of this bill. After acme discussion the house divided, when there appeared— For the second reading Against it Majority —9 The bill was read a second tim". PARTY PROCESSIONS ACT. The a(ljlurned debate on this bill was resume,l, Mr. C. FORTESCUE said he could not give his assent to the second reading of the bill, more particularly at Ili.; period, when it had become necessary for the Government to send an immense military force to Ireland, to prevent any disturbance arising from a collision taking place be tween the two parties in the north of Ireland ou the oc casion now approaching. (Hear, bear.) The Government would put the present law into force most effectively for the purpose of maintaining the peace, and he could only hope that., in the north of Ireland, peace would be pre served on the 12th of July. Tho debate had not cop eluded at a quarter to six, at which hour it closed in compliance with the standing orders. The County Coiirts (Admiralty Jurisdiction) Bill passed through committee. The committee on Marriage with a Deceased Wife's Sister Bill was postponed uatil to-morrow. The other orders having been. disposed of, the house adjourned. A SUMMER BREAKFAST. A happy family looks best at breakfast, and breakfast is at its best in summer time : albeit Leigh Ilunt—a notable authority on domestic graces and celebrations—says, " One of the first things that belong t) 'a breakfast is a good fire. There is a delightful mixture of the lively and snug in c :ming down into - one's breakfast room of a cold itiomilw., and fin I lig everything preparel for us ; a blazing grate, clean table-cloth, anzi tea things, newly-wasted faces aLcl coinbe I heads of a sot of gto l hantou:o 1 u....3`rini, and the sole empty &lair ready for its occupant." I grant the tea, toe c flee, the dry toast, the butter, the egg'', the ham, s,a - nething potted, the bread, the salt, the mustard, the knives, the forks ; but I will not give up the summer time, the dislic3 of fruit, the fresh-cut flowerc, the lilac cif Nlnv, and the roses of Jane. P....e..kfast, I maiataia, is at its sweetest and best wh n the lark, having bui't its nest in the corn, is singing over the ripen:iig harvest. I can part with the fire, in favour of the fruit and flowers, the open window, and the insect s murmuring by the petals of the floral riches we have briught forth from the hothouse. 1 concede the washed faces and combed heads—in moderation as to numborz,; and I am particular as to the heads being only a trifle higher than the table. A little sprightly miss is bearable at the breakfast hour ; but no romp, nor clatter of tongues, no confusion in the number to be helped. Dickens's " All the Year Round.', MUSICAL ITEMS. --.0.-- Joachim has been named Director of the School of Instrumental Music of Berlin. Wallace's " Lurlive" has been played both in English and Italian during the last season at New York. Mdlle. Eliza de Try, the vio7oncellist, has been giving some successful concerts at Li,bon. Naudin, the tenor, has been engaged to sing for five months at the Grand Opera House in Cairo. The Emperor of Russia has ennobled Rubin stein, and conferred on him the Order of St. Wladi- mir. The Aleyerbcer foundation prize of Berlin has not been awarded this year, none of the competi tors having displayed sufficient merit. Two Russian operas are promised for perfor mance at S. Petersburg next season, "La Rose des Carpathes," by Saloman, and " La Puissance du Diable," by Seroff. " Electricity is Life." —A nest of medical quacks adopting the foregoing motto of Mr. Pulvermacher, of 200, Regent-street, have recently been unearthed by proceed jugs taken in the Court of Vice-Clhancellor Malins, by that eminent originator of patented appliances of medico galvanic science. The profession of electrical science if not "life" to these quasi doctors was their ostensible means of living, and even if Mr. Pulvermacher has taken their life by taking the "means whereby they live," he has in his exposure of their nefarious impositions conferred a benefit upon the public, in addition to securing his own property in inventions which are the result of thirty-five years of scientific experiment and study which have proved a boon to suffering humanity. Dr. Hammond, alias Dr. Watson, Henry James, Esq., Harvey Burrows, Esq., W. Hill, C. T. Peaphey, &c.. endeavouring to pass as medical practitioners, and advertised colourable imita tions of Mr. Pulvermacher's galvanic inventions. But the general opinion of Vice-Chancellor Malins may be gathered from his giving utterance to the following expressions on the case :—" It was an outrageous thing that the public should be so deluded." "It was a pity that the public should be victimised by these abominably false statements ;" " the tactics pursued by the defendant was one of systematic imposture, and he much regretted there was not somebody on the part of the public to put a stop to these things;" and that whilst he had heard the defendant's affidavit, "the tactics pursued by the defendant was. one of systematic imposture, and he much regretted there was not somebody on the part of the public to stop it ; anything more disgraceful be never saw. Considering the vital use to society of Mr. Pul vermacher's "medico-galvanic system," as exhibited in his beautiful apparatus and appliauces, it is clear that his efforts for the punishment of quacks who are robbing him of the proceeds of valuable discoveries, while de ceiving many unsuspecting patients, are deserving of the public support and praise. Sir Charles Lo cock, Sir Ronald Martin, Sir R. Holland, Sir Wi!liam Ferguson, Dr. Steveking, and others of the elite of the medical profession, came forward on the occasion to maintain his well-earned repute, although stating at the saino time that it was not their habit ever to give certifica'es ; and it was upon suc h overpowering evidence in the interest of medical science that Vice-Chan cellor Mathis decided that Mr. Gla ss, Q.C., should sustain the suit, and that the case should stand over for further hearing.

The authorities arc making strenuous exertions to arrest the remainder. General Canby has issued an order staying the forcible collection of debts in Virginia until January. 'The Oregon Indians are arming and leaving their reservations. Advices from Cuba state that complete harmony prevails between General de Rodao and the Spanish volunteers. COURSE OF EXCHANGE.
