The sum of £119,000 in gold was taken to the Bank yesterday. The Weser, from New York, has brought £6,660, the Manhattan £lO,OOO, and the Calabar, from the West Coast of Africa, £5,380. Adviees from Alexandria describe complete stag nation in business. The present is always the quiet season in Egypt, when exports and imports are at a stand, and this year the dullness is greater than usual. It is only with the rising of the Nile that produce begins to come down from Upper Egypt, and the cotton crop does not commence until late in the autumn. Two new banks have been opened lately at Alexandria, each witd £1,000,000 nominal capital, 40 per cent. paid up, and both under Austrian patronage. With regard to the Suez Canal a rumour is current that the opening has been put off, first to the 15th of November and now to the Ist of January, 1870, on account of some dredges having given way and sunk in the canal, but nothing certain can be ascertained, as the parties connected with the catal remain silent on the subject. Sir Samuel Baker will start on his expedition in the beginning of September. The fact of the Sultan having conferred upon him the title of Pasha has been regarded, it appears, with great satisfaction at Alexandria, as showing that his Majesty approves and supports the Viceroy's en terprise. Mr. Brunlees, having returned from an inspec tion of the Mont Cenis tilway, reports that the damages caused by the late floods have been so far repaired that the service is being again con ducted with regularity and certainty. The report of John Brown & Co. (Limited), to be presented at Sheffield on the 28th instant, recommends a dividend of £4 18s. 3d. per share. The contract for the Portuguese loan with Messrs. Fruhling and Goschen has been approved at Lisbon by the Chamber of Deputies, but has now to pass the Senate. The annual meeting of the East Indian Railway Company will be held on the Ist of July. A❑ ex traordinary meeting is called for the same day, " for the purpose of considering, and if dt emed advisable, of passing a resolution or resolutions, authorising the board of directors to create and issue Debenture Stock in lieu of ordinary deben tures, under the powers of Act 31 Vie., cap. 26." At the meeting of the Dunaburg and Witepik Railway Company (Limited), a resolution was Passed authorising the raising of additional capital, tot exceeding £500,000, for the purchase of further rolling stock. The half-yearly meeting of the Victoria Station and Pimlico Railway Company is called for the 9th of July. In the matter of the Hercules Insurance Com pany, in liquidation, Mr. Greenwood, one of the liquidators appointed by the Court of Chancery, having resigned, Vice-Chancellor Malins has, by an order dated the 10th inst., appointed Mr. W. J. White sole official liquidator. The announcement that the important work of submerging the French Atlantic Cable has actually commenced, the Great Eastern having quitted the French coast, occasioned a demand for the shares of the French Cable Company. With reference to the Ottoman General 5 per Cent. Debt, the Imperial Ottoman Bank have issued the usual notice, informing bondholders who intend to receive the current half-yearly interest in Europe that they must declare such intention at the agencies of the bank between the 23d inst. and the 3d of July.

Amongst the incidents which at present appear to be regarded as essen tial accompaniments of a menagerie are performances described as lion - hunts. At Bradford this portion of the programme was being gone through, when a performing lioness, instead of responding to the order of its keeper to leap over his shoulder, seized and dragged the man down, and attempted to seize Lis throat. At this critical moment, amidst the alarm of the spectators, the male lion rushed upon his companion, and the fight that succeeded between the two undoubtedly saved the life of the keeper. The latter having regained his confi dence and control over the lions, continued and finhhed his performance whilst the b!ood flowed from his wounds. THE BOILER EXPLOSION AT BINGLEY. Mr. Lavington E. Fh teller, chief engineer to the Strain Users' Association, Manclu , ster, has issued a report on tbe steam boiler explosion which occurred at liugley on the Dth inst., by which fifteen pemons w.•re killed and between twenty and thirty others injured. In his report Mr. Fletcher states that the , boiler had be n in use elsewhere for eight or sine years previously, and had become extremely thinned ind weakened. by corrosion. It was bought as a "cheap" boiler, and r, paired, but the. repairs did not extend far enough. It was in one of these thin places that the rent commenced. In addition to this, the safety-valve bad been replaced by ono having only one-fourth of the requisite Area, and which, on account of its dangerous construc tion, had been discarded. Alr. Fletcher condemns in very strong terms the rurchase of "cheap" boilers, so called, as a national loss. In the churches of Ireland on Sunday special refer euco was made to the pesitiou of the Church to the State, kpropos to the prayers for her Majesty's accessiou. The case of Leversou v. Stack, heard before Mr. Tustice riannen and a common jury, in the Court of Queen's Bench, was concluded on Monday. his lordship having summrd up at great length, the jury, after a short consulta fuund a verdict fur tho plaintiff or £l2O and costs, On the Ist July nett, and thenceforward, money orders may be obtained at any Monf.y Order Office in the United Kingdom, payable at any place in Belgium. The commission chargeable will be the same as on money orders issued and paid within the United Kingdom. A NEW BLASTING POWDER.—it is stated that a new description of blasting powder, called ammoniac powder, has been introduced into Sweden with successful results. The Prussian newspapers speak of it as being superior to dynamite, nitro-glycerine, and explosives of that nature. It is said to combine considerable explosive force with a tardy inflammability ; that it cannot be exploded by percussion ; and that it does not deteriorate from the effects of climate. These advantages are so contradictory that we must receive the report with caution. If such a powder has been invented, it will doubtless soon find its way into the markets of this country. CORPORATION OF TUE SONS OF THE CLERGY. — The Archbishop of Canterbury presided at a meeting of the governdrs of this corporation, at their house, 2, Bloomsbury-place, W.C., on Saturday. The main object of the meeting was to distribute the annual income on certain benefactions held by the corporation in trust for poor clergymen, beneficed or not, in England or Wales, who have at least three children. The number of clergy men so qualified applying on the present occasion was 144, and the total number of their children being 985, the average of every family was very little short of seven. Twenty other clergymen applied for aid, who, not being eligible for these benefactions, received grants from other funds. The total sum distributed was £2,559, leaving a very small sum (less than usual) in the hands of the governors to meet the numerous cases of distress which are sure to arise during the next few months. LAW BUSINESS.—The state of the Nisi Prius business is positively alarming. In the three courts in Middlesex the aggregate number of causes at the com mencement of the after term sittings was no less than 395. Of these upwards of 200 are marked to be tried by special juries. Now, if all the eighteen judges had attacked this mass of business, each would have had twenty-two cases to get through in the allotted four teen days. As it is there are but six of them actually trying causes, which gives each one an average of sixty-six to try, and in the Queen's Bench the disposal of the first cause, which is going on at the time we write, has already absorbed four days. Therefore, taking the above average, the learned judge has sixty-five causes to try in the nine following days. If he disposes of a dozen it is as much as he can do, withdrawals and settlements being put aside, and it is terrible to contemplate what will happen next November when the arrears are augmented by new causes. The great waste of judicial power is in the Exchequer Chamber. That court has been sitting during the past week, taking away six judges from the Nisi Prins courts. We say taking them away, but if they were available it is difficult to see where they could sit. If they were available, perhaps some attempt might be made to accommodate them. The first step, therefore, is to release them from their present appellate duties. That this must soon be done is obvious. It is far more impor tant to the profession that causes should be tried with despatch than that there should be an intermediate court of appeal.—Law Times. The Western Times devotes nearly two columns of its space to an editorial article highly eulogis ing the effect of the completion of the mansion of Marley, nearly Exmouth, built for one of England's most wealthy commoners—Mr. John Bryce. A visit to this palatial structure fully corroborates the probes our contemporary has bestowed upon it, Mr. Benmore, the architect, having certainly acquitted himsilf in a manner which combines that which is noble and magnificent with a pure elegance and refined taste. In the interior decorations, which have been entrusted to Mr. F. Sang, we find that accomplished artist outvi , ing his previous and most important works; and even the Conservative Club, the R )yal Exchango, II:a -field, and the famous Stratheden House, all from the same hand, fail to prepare the spectator for the rich display of chromatic harmony and exquisite playfulness of pencil which are hero so conspicuous. It would seem, indeed, as if the edifice had been especially designed to do honour to the sister arts or Architecture, Sculpture, and Painting, the a! tributes of each being so intimately blended that the happy consummation which has arisen upon the lovely shores of Devon has already obtained the distinguished title of the Gem of the West. DuNviLLE and Co., Belfast, are the largest holders of Whisky in the world. Their Old Irish Whisky is re commended by the medical profession in preference to French Brandy.

April and Oct P. 09 11.1 112 111 k - PUBEfe - J-6WILVA LS, The Times 'remarks that the highest order of English nobility fills n 6, unworthy position the division-list Friday night. Out of twenty dukes in the peerage of the Un'ed Kingdom, not being of thou blcod royal; no less than sixteen took part in the great struggle. Among those absent were the Dukes of Hamilton and Newcastle, both young men, both inheritors - of illustrious names, and both the victims of the same .ruinous propensity which has wrecked so many, noble families within liviog memory. At the very , time when the whole 'country was awaiti ng the ver di - eC'of the Upper House on an issue, as some thought of constitutional life or death, and the most frivolous peers felt an un wonted thrill of patriotic responsibility, " the last of the Duke of Newcastle's horses, comprising brood mares, stal lions, horses in training, and yearlings, were sold at Clamber, in the presence of a large assemblage," not, as we need hardly add, for his own benefit, but for that of Mr. Padwi* and his other creditors. Never, probably, since the treasures of StoWe and the historic accumula 7 tions of centuries were put up W.:lin:tit - in, has the interior of a ducal residence been turned so_ruthle,ssly inside out for the satisfaction of vulgar curiosity,,.. Not • a keepsake valuable only to its owner, not a crucifix or sacred engraving, not a family picture or precious memento of travel, except those relics which the provi dent care of the Duke's father or mother-in-law may have designated as heirloems, would appear to have been excepted from the - inventory. Not a bedroom is closed against the - Inroads of that squalid crowd of brokers and bargain-seekers-which seems to be called into existence by auctions,.just as .birds of _prey flock to a carcass from invisible regions of the atmosphere. Everything is pulled about and discussed with the coarse familiarity which loves to have aristocratic grandeur at its mercy, and the purse-proud cynicism which is willing to pay a fancy price for a token of aristocratic humiliation. For such infatuation there may be pity, but there can be no excuse or reticence. The influeribe of aristocratic spendthrifts would indeed - 14Perniaiotts if It- Veil were to be cast over the disgrace which generally overtakeS them, and part of the amends which they. owe to society is to serve as a warning to others. The Star remarks that the inclement weather has raised fears for the wheat crop ; which means, in other words, that farmers and holders have taken the Opportunity to ask higher prices for grain. Fortunately, the supply of food is not now subject to any laws but those of nature and trade ; the people are no longer taxed to keep the food grown in other lands from their lips, in order that famine prices may be maintained at home. When 'the market in Mark-lane went up on Monday about three shillings per quarter, the telegraph was at once put in operation to all the great corn-growing districts of Europe, and supplies were ordered which may help to keep down the price even. while the merchant is properly and intelligently grasping the profit which the rise hasalreadygiven him. It may be, as the bad weather is said to be general over Europe, that the price may go up abroad as well as here. The grower in Bessarabia or East . - Prussia is as much interested in the Mark-lane market as the farmers of Norfolk or Essex. The Atlantic cable and the tele graph would takes the news West to the prairies, and scud out the farmer of Illinois to calculate the probable result of his crop with greater glee. We have even found a new source of supply of late; - where we thought the earth produced nothing but nuggets. California yields us not only the gold which serves to represent our wealth, but the corn without which man might perish while wal lowing miser-like in heaps of treasure. 'But if we have to encounter an indifferent hr.rvest, the Budget of the GoVernment has, at all events, swept away literally the last shilling which stood between us and a perfectly free importation of All has been done to ensure a steady and plentiful vupply of food which the wisdom of man can do, and if, after all, corn becomes dear, it is the result of natural causes, and not of an artificial scarcity produced by ignorance. The Herald says that unauthentic being the compound householder was again befere the Ilbuse of Commons on Monday night. .Ministers have a. plan for restoring him to his legitimate place in the Constitution. He would never have been put out of it except for the amendments of the Liberal party. But Mr. Gladstone now professes that he always felt an affection for' this class, and looked upon them as a corner-stone and sustaining pillar of the realm. When, however, on Monday evening, Mr. Vernon Harcourt moved that owners should pay rates where occupiers were not certain forthree -mouths Mr. Goschen and the Premier agreed in an angry protest. They declared that the object was to destroy- electoral inde pendence. The President of the Poor-law Board will have the compound householder back again, pure and simple, even though he should 'proVel 'to be little better or more substantial than a ghost.. Such courage must be praised. Still, surveying the list pf. amendments, nomi nally aimed against the -pri: ciplearizif an 'Aiiih;sed Rates Bill, but practically intended to held the Reform Act of of 1367 intact, we deeply doubt the policy of Ministers in endeavouring to force upon Parliani6lt at an ill-chosen time a measure of reaction. They cannot pass their bill in the course of the present session,. The experience of lest Monday must have convinced them upon that point. The Standard refers to the recent prosecutions against betting-houses, and asks whether if is intended to forbid beAing altogether. Is it the purpose of -the Executive to suppress this species of gamblingi , as it supposes itself, futilely enough, to have suppressed: lotteries? If so, then the shutters ought to be put up at Tattersall's. If not, these prosecutions seem to carry with them an appearance of hypocrisy. Of one thing we may be sure—so long as there are races so long will there be bets. Nearly all the world encourages them. From the thou sand to one which ruins a duke to the pair of gloves which pleases a lady, every sporting season brings its million of wagers, and no legislation can inter- fere with a habit so national. What is the meaning of this sudden energy ? We are all aware of the evils which exist ; of the dupes and worse who; arc brought to misery or to crime by their foolish hazards ; of the destruction wrought at the bidding of those veiled prophets who pre side over the Turf, and.who now strike down a coronet and then lay low a banker's clerk ; of the fearful mischief done to families by misguided persons leaving their steady and sure pursuits in the bind idea of tnabang a fortune by a venture; but how much of this can be preve n t e d b y police intervention? For that is the actual question. We are not blaming the authorities for acting under the law; indeed, it would be lamentable if whole nests of betting-offices were to spring up in special neighbourhoods. All we would emphasise is, that these prosecutions will not deter the .public from betting, or from employing agents to invest their ventures for them. Improve the morality, decrease the uncertainties, regu late the legislation, and satisfy the justice, so to speak, of the Turf, and there will be less of reckless, and, therefore, less of dishonourable gambling. What shall be done to honour the name and the memory of Michael Faraday? asks the Telegraph. The meeting just held in the theatre of the Royal Institution was, in itself, indeed a beautiful and noble tribute to the great discoverer. There, in the building where he lived— around the very table of green baize from which, time after time, he announced new and glorious .triumphs of research-- were gathered almost all his old associates of science, with the Heir-Apparent of England at their head, to consider this question. The Prince occupied the actual spot in which the good grey head, th e bright, inspired eyes, and the tenderly-wise sm il e o f F ara d ay used' to be seen while all around the royal chair man were men whose names are high upon the roll of scientific renown, every one of them the personal friend of the illustrious dead, and his fellow -worker on this or that pathway of philosophy. - France, too, did homage to his genius by sending as her representative the perpetual secretary of her " Institut," M. Dumas, who pronounced an eulogy upon Faraday's character and. labours, in which earnest admiration for the devoted student of nature was _ _ linked with warm and just praises of the good and upright man. Such a gathering—the-heartfelt obsequies - paid by living intellect to the Newtonteof electrical anti magnetic science, as modest as he wag frenowned,. ; a man as gentle as he was great and wise—has in it more real 'celebra tion than marble or bronze could ever express. The proper monument to the memory, of Faraday would be a Faraday institution, where young intel lects that chewed high capacity for scientific re search might receive, a thorough training, and that early help upon the pathways of truth which the assis tant •of Davy so nearly missed. Perhaps there is private gratitude and intelligence enough,among us to make the memorial list surpass the intentions of its projectors suf ficiently to render practicable the idea of founding such an institution. If not, there could be no educational grant more sure to bear a rich harvest; while nothing would be more worthy of the land honoured with Faraday's birth and career, than that the contributions of private purses towards a memorial so congenial to the man whom we wou ld commemorate should be swelled by a grant from the national coffers. Thus would the pious duty of affec tionate friends be transformed into the solemn thanks and tribute of a country elevated and enriched by him whom the wisest and noblest in the land delight to honour. The Daily News thinks that it may be a question worth considering by those who have the charge of such matters, whether it is justifiable on grounds of humanity, or even advisable as a matter of profit, to deprive sheep of their natural covering in such weather as that which for some weeks past has chilled and saddened our early summer? The calendar may say that it is turned the middle of June ; but our feelings tell us it is winter. Under ordinary circumstances, the great agricultural festival of shearing— about which poets and pastoral writers have painted so many pleasant imaginary pictures—takes place very properly in the present month ; but when the temperabre is not much above freezing point (indeed, there has been actual snow in the 'North, and that to no slight amount), it is cruelty to expose sheep and lambs de fenceless to the piercing; wind. " Sheep clipped on Tues day," says a paragraph of news:from Yorkshire, "were turned out into the rain and cold,Tto be found dead under the lieges next morning ; and even on Thursday clipped sheep wire to be seen huddled in the ditches for a little shelter." Later intelligence from • the same county says :—" Numerous other reports of starved sheep come to hand ; one farmer has !ost thirty seven sheep by starva tion. In the north the felLs are stated to be seven inches deep in snow." One would think that in such weather a reasonable and .humane farmer would no more think of shearing his sheep and turning them out into the cold, than he would of stripping his children and compelling them to sleep naked in the -To pursue such a course is to trust rather too literally to the often quoted phrase; "God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb." It is following too closely. on the charity of the Bishop in Pope, who, in considering the poor, "Admits, and leaves Pr,v4lonce's care." IMEPRIAL FAR MA. 3ENT HOUSE OF COMAIONS.—THIS DAY.

Earl GREY gave notice that in the conamltee on the Irish Ckurch Bill he should move to depart from the usual curse of proposing the preamble, and that he would move the omission of the lines 11 to 15, in order to insert the words, " but not for the maintonance of any other church or clergy." He should also move that the house should during the committee of the bill sit on Wednesdays. A rather angry discussion ensued, in which Earl Grey protested against any incidental discussion of his amend ment. Earl GRANVILLE said he would see how far it was ,possible to meet: the suggestion of the noble earl with re spect to the Wednesday's sitting, and would state the re sult further on in the week. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—This EVENING. Tho SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. ALL SAINTS' DISTRICT, BISHOPSGATE, BILL. The adjourned debate on the third reading of this bill, the object of which was to empower the Great Eastern Railway to acquire the site of the church of All Saints, they undertaking to erect schools with a chapel attached, and also to pay a sum of money to those who might suffer loss by the removal of the church. The Homo Secretary of State for the Home Department supported the bill, which he thought providel a better means of improving the con , dition of the parishione rs and the poor in that neighbour hood than the re-erection of the church in another - part of the parish. The house divided, when there appeared— For the third wading._ Agaiust it Majority 112 -.:,9 The bill was then real a third time and passed. COVENTRY ELEOTION. Mr. BOUVERIE gave notice that he should postpone his motion on this subject from to-morrow until the 6th of July. THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. Mr. BRIGHT, in answer to the inquiry of Capt. Gros venor, said the magistrate having decided the case botween Dr. Pearce and the railway company, the Board of Trade were not called upon to give its decision in the matter. BRITToN'S CHARITY. Mr. FORSTER, in reply to Mr. Pell, said he had before stated the course that was to be pursued with this charity. It was proposed to treat the charity the same as others were dealt with by the Endowed Schools Bill, and notice of such intention had been given to the parties interested. EXTENSION 01? RYDE PIER. Mr. CHILDERS said, in reply to Sir James Elphenstono, that the pioposal to extend 11yde Pier to westward by the proprietors had been sanctioned, after a inedUication had Leen made iu the plans. The proposed ext usiou would in no w.s,y interfere wish the navigation of the Solent. TUE 12TH OF JULY. Sir J. GItAY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention had been celled to a a letter which had been publiAed io Irish Conservat:ve newspapers,which was written by an hon. member of that house, and dated from the House of Commons, in which the Orangemen of Ireland were called upon to turn out "everywhere," on the coming 12th of Jrly, to assemble in their tens cf thou sands, in order to celebrate the g!or!ous triumphs of the ,past. 110 wished to know whether the Government in tended to take steps to pr eserve th e peace o f t h e country on the occas!on ? Colonel S. KNOX was about to address the house on the part of his hon. friend who had penned the letter, but he was met by loud cries of " Order, order," amidst which he sat down. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said the attention of the Govern ment Lad been called to the letter, and he could only say he had read it with deep regret. It had unfortunately been the unhappy duty of the Government to send certain troops to portions of Ireland to preserve the peace on the 12th of July, and it was never more incumbent on the Government than to do so this year— (bud cries of "Hear, hear," from the Opposition)—and a duty, he assured the house, should be perforni►d to the utmost. (Hear, hear.) TEIE NEW LAW COURTS. Mr. GLADSTONE gave notice of his intention to move for the appointment'of a select committee to inquire into the site and charge for the new Law Courts. ASSESSED RATES BILL. The house then w,ut into committee on this bill, the object of which was to provide for the legality of landlords making compositions for the payment of rates of certain tenements, which was in effect tho resuscitation of the "compound householder." l' he discussion on the clauses occupied several Lours and ultimately progress was reported -on arriving at an important amendment which stood on the paper for the fourth clause by Mr. Vernon Harcourt. The Common Law Courts (Ireland) Bill was withdrawn and the order for its second reading discharged. The remaining business was rapidly disposed of, and the house adjourned. PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris Is about at par, and tie short exchange on London is 25f. 251 per £1 sterling On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 Via. loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appe... - s that gold at the above price is of hightr value in London than in Paris. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight was on the 14th inst. about . 091 per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

Bshanss, via New York July 11., MARKET S-2 MS DAY. LIVERPOOL CO-7170N MARKET. Juno 22.—Sales probably 15,000 bales, possibly more. The market quiet and unchanged. A magnificent pair of shears, built up of wrought iron and worked by double cylinder steam crabs, has been erected at " Hobbs's Point," Pembroke Dockyard, during the past week, by Messrs. James Taylor and Co., of Birkenhead, the firm that has supplied, under Admiralty contract, the steam traction locomotives and steam cranes to her Majesty's dockyard. The shears erected at Pem broke are 121 feet in height, and have been con structed to carry 75 tons suspended from their greatest elevation. They passed their test most satisfactorily, under the supervision of Captain R. Hall, C. 8., RN., and Mr. J. J. Fincham, of Pem broke Dockyard. A newly-arrived emigrant in America, in soliciting work, stated that ho wanted the money he hoped to earn to send home to Ireland ; " where," he added, "I have a wife and seven children, and never saw one of them." This seemed such a bold and stupid falsehood that the person to whom ho was making application for work angrily exclaimed, "How dare you tell me such stuff! How could you have a wife and seven children in Ireland without ever having seen oue of them 2" "Because, your honour, the one I never saw was born afthr I sailed for Aincriky." A breach of promise case is on trial in New York, where a wish-bone is the only evidence of the gentleman's "promise" to marry a lady for the breach of which she sues him for $5,000. The lady testifies that at her brother's house the defendant found a dry wish-bone and proposed that they should pull it. When the bone broke the cen tral part fell upon the floor. This was interpreteddes the plaintiff assorts, by the defendant that they should.marry soon, as he remarked, "It seems that we are to be mar ried at the same time ; wouldn't you like it ?" To which the plaintiff replied, " I'll bet I would!" "Dar are," said a sable orator, "two roads through this world. De one am a broad and narrow road that leads to perdition, and de udder am a narrow and broad road dat leads to sure destruction." "If dat am de case," said a sable hearer, dis cullud individual takes to de woods." S FOR TING INTEL L IGENCE —This Di.y LONDON BETTING.—Tats DAY.

To check the undue action of the liver, usually the first indication of febrile complaints, the pills invented by Professor Iloilo -way stand unrivalled. The pills are so easily and so cheaply purchased that none need suffer either from nausea, indigestion, disordered liver, dizziness, or torpid bowels, or, iu a word, from any functional irregularity. These pills produce a happier effect on the digestive orgeos thau al,y other medicinal compound, whether mineral or vegetable. By these means any person can easily secure robust health.
