The Bank of England return, completed to the 22 d August, shows several alterations. The bullion has been augmented to a moderate extent, While the reserve of notes exhibit an increase of considerably over a quarter of a million. To the private balances there is the large addition of a million sterling, while the public deposits, "ring to Government disbursements, have been sensibly diminished; and the other securities, in consequence of the increased demand for money, have been augmented by nearly half a million. In the other items of the balance-sheet there are no Movements of importance.

The increase in the " other securities," shows that the Bank autho rities have obtained a large share of discount busi ness. A sum of £60,000 in gold was sent into the tank of England yesterday.

Aug. 28 A YouTHFUL HERO —The silver medallion of the Royal Humane Society was yesterday presented to William Slattery, 14 years of age, of 9, Royton-street, Deansgate, Manchester, for his intrepid exertions to save life on the evening of November 25, 1859. Entirely regardless of his own danger, he ascended twice to a room on fire in a lodg ing-house in Spinningfield, Manchester, the first time bringing out two infant children, and the second their mother, all of whom were encircled by flames, which he aided to extinguish. The children did not long survive, but their, mother recovered. We are informed that about £5 was subscribed for Slattery by the watch committee of the Manchester corporation, at the time the above-named tes timonial was presented to him.

THE BELT AGAIN.—SAVAGE ASSAULT.—RIOT IN THE HAYIIARKET.—WiIIiam Taylor, Ist Battalion Grenadier Guards, and Alexander Young, Ist Battalion of Coldstream Guards, were charged before Mr. Beadon, the first-named with being drunk and riotous, and the latter with assault ing, with his belt, Thomas Wrentmore, manager, at the Grapes, public-house, Haymarket, and also assaulting Police-constables Newham, 96 C; John Hurne, 308 A ; and John Wheatley, 344 A. THIRD READING. Air. T. Wrentmore said, about one this morning, the sol diers came into the house and had a pint of porter, but be coming abusive and making use of gross language, he re fused to serve them with more, and was about to eject them, when Young took off his belt and, with the buckle, struck him a severe blow on the head, cutting it severely, and causing great loss of blood, and rendering him very faint for some minutes. He then ga'e them in charge, when they became very violent, Young throwing himself on the ground and kicking all around. Taylor tried his utmost to rescue Young from custody. Newham, 96 C, said he was called to assist in taking the prisoners into custody. The last witness was bleeding from the head, and pointed out Young as having struck him. Taylor then seized him by tie throat, and tried to rescue Young. Young then threw himself on his back and kicked him, and a large crowd of persons came up, but, instead of assisting the police, thrust their umbrellas in their sides, and 1 ried to rescue the soldiers. Wheatley proved being struck two or three times by Taylor. Both prisoners were drunk, and were striking and kicking the police. _ _ Other corroborative evidence having been given, Mr. Beadon said it was very sad that those whose duty it was to assist the civil power should do all they could to create confusion, and that after all the cautions so fre quently given, the belt should be continued to be used. If they would continue to 'use the belt they must be punished for it. They might have cut the prosecutor's eye cut. The whole affair, it was quite clear, arose through the cursed drink. He should fine Taylor for attempting to rescue the prisoner Young and impeding the police 205., or 10 days, and Young, for using his belt, 405., or a month. John Wilson, of 13, Royal-crescent, Notting-hill, Jamas Rowe, 7, Furnival's-inn, architect, and Charles J olm Mar chant, clerk, and Fanny Brown, a prostitute, were then charged with being drunk and assaulting the police while taking the soldiers into custody. The evidence of Amies, 343 A, John Wheatley, 314 A, Hurne,3oB A, Gordon, 336 A, and Pierre Marmon, aFrench man, went to show that in consequence of the conduct of the defendants there was a regular riot in the Haymarket, the police being knocked about and kicked in a shameful manner, and about 20 constables being called from their beats to quell it and take the defendants into custody. Mr. Beadon having commented in severe terms on the defendants' conduct, fined the males £5 each or a month, and the female 40s. or 14 days. It was stated by some of the defendants that it was their first peep into London life. THAMES. EXTENSIVE DEPREDATIONS IN LEAD.—John Sweeney, aged 16, and William Nugent, 23, both old and daring offenders, were brought up on remand before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing lead. The case against Sweeney was first heard. Police-con stable Franklin, 482 K, saw the prisoner on the roof of a house, No. 63, Broad-street, Rateliff, on Sunday night last, in the act of rolling up lead. The policeman, who was on the roof of a loftier house, called to him, and he ran on to the roof of the next house. Franklin pursued him over several houses and out4buildings until the prisoner reached the premises of Walton 'and Gowland, coal mer chants, and just as he was getting over the gates of their wharf he was captured by the policeman, who said, " I want you for stripping the lead from Mr. Coker's house." The prisoner trembled very much and offered no resistance. The constable afterwards proceeded to the roof of Mr. Coker's house, and ascertained that 168 lbs. of sheet lead had been cut away from the roof which the prisoner was prevented from carrying away by the opportune discovery made by the constable. Another man was with the prisoner when he was seen on the roof, and made his escape. Mr. William Coker, the landlord of the premises, said in addition to the 168 lbs. of lead now produced which he identified, upwards of a cwt. of lead had been removed pre viously from the roof of the same building, and great mis chief had been done to it. THE WAR DEPARTMENT. Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for trial. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE 'WEEK. Miles Opened. Receipts. e• - 1800. THIR EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Six o'clock. MPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(This DAY). The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 12 o'clock. The following bills were read a third time and passed : the Spirits, Savings Banks and Friendly Societies Invest ment, Peace Preservation (Ireland) Act 1856 Amendment, East India Loan, Spirit Duties, Consolidated Fund Appro priation, Exchequer Bonds or Bills (X 2,000,000), and Militia Pay. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES BILL. On the motion that this bill be read a third time, Lord MONTEAGLE moved an amendment, the opera tion of which was to declare that the bill should not affect the law of superstitious uses, and that prayers for the dead might not be considered superstitious ; consequently, any bequest for a charity, accompanied by a stipulation that prayers should be offered up for the deceased donor, should not be considered illegal. The LORD CHANCELLOR could only repeat that which he had already said, namely, that the amendment of the noble lord was quite unnecessary, for there was nothing in the bill which did, or could, be construed to affect the law for superstitious uses. He was surprised at the noble lord introducing this amendment after the course adopted last night. Such an amendment had been negatived by this house and the Commons. The noble lord said the words of his amendment were harmless, but he denied that useless words in an act of Parliament were harmless, for instead of removing doubts they created them, and encouraged rather than decreased litigation. He should advise their lordships not to agree to the amend ment of the noble lord. _ _ _ The amendment was put from the woolsack, and nega tived, after which the bill passed. CHURCH TEMPORALITIES (IRELAND) ACT AMENDMENTS BILL. The Commons' amendments to this bill were agreed to. DIVORCE COURT BILL. The Commons' amendments to this bill were agreed to. TRUSTEES, MORTGAGEES, &c., BILL. 'the Commons' amendments to this bill were agreed to. TENURE AND IMPROVEMENT OF LAND (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion forithe consideration of the Commons' rea sons for disagreeing to their lordships' amendments to this bill, . . . . . _ Lord DESART protested against the hurried manner in which the alterations had been made to this bill. There was ono amendment which had been made when there was a very full attendance of Irish peers, of very great import ance. That alteration had been reversed by the Commons, and now the house was asked to agree to such a proposal when there were only two Irish peers present. He thought such a proposal on the part of the Government highly censurable. The Earl of LEITRIM thought the Commons' amend ments were such as their lordships ought not to agree to. After a few words from Lord MONTEIGLE, Earl GRANVILLE said it was very desirable, after the labour that had been bestowed on this bill, that it should pass during the present session. The effect of dis agreeing to amendments would be that the bill would be lost, and the whole question left open for another long dis cussion next year. Lord RE DESDALE hoped that some arrangement might be come to in order that one or two of the amend ments might be retained, especially those relating to the granting of leases. • After some further conversation, the majority of the amendments were agreed to ; but on the question that one of them, in effect setting aside the 100 years' lease, should be disagreed to, their lordships divided, where there ap peared— Contents Non-contents Majority The amendment was then agreed to. MINES REGULATION AND INSPECTION BILL. Their lordships resolved not to insist on their amend • meats to this bill, against which the Commons had assigned their reasons. LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) BILL. '1 heir lordships did not insist in their opposition to this bill. TITLES TO LAND (SCOTLAND) BILL. The Commons' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. TRAMWAY (IRELAND) BILL. Their lordships did not insist on the alterations they had made to this bill. Their lordships then adjourned until half-past one o'clock on Tuesday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tins DAT.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 25 minutes to one o'clock, Sir F. SMITH gave notice that early next session he would move f)r the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the working of the War-office with a view to effect an improvement in that department of the public ser vice.

COCHRANE gave notice that, on Tuesday next, he would move that the militia should not be called out for drill until after the harvest, in consequence of the state of the weather. INEQUALITIES OF TITHE. Mr. TITE gave notice that, early next session, he would move for an inquiry into the inequalities that existed in regard to levying tithes in certain parishes of the city of London. THE ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION. Mr. FREELAND gave notice that early next session he would move for an inquiry into the organisation of the Ecclesiastical Commission ; also, to inquire into the report upon the treatment adopted with reference to the sale and purchase of property held under the Ecclesiastical Com mission. ABD-BL-KADER AND THE SYR4AN DISTURB ANCES. In reply to Mr. GRIFFITH, Lord PALMERSTON said it was true that Abd-el- Kader had been the means of saving the lives of a large number of Christians at Damascus, and her Majesty had directed her Consul at that place to convey to him her cordial acknowledgment of the services he had rendered. CONJUGAL RIGHTS (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion of Mr. E. CRAUFURD the house decided on not adhering to their own amendments widch had been disagreed to by the House of Lords, and the further con sideration of the bill was postponed. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE—THE COM. MITTEE ON PETITIONS. Lord PALMEILSTON rose to move that the house at its rising should adjourn till Tuesday, and availed himself of that opportunity of drawing the attention of the house to the devotion of tertian hon. members to a description of business which did not generally attract public attention. He alluded to the members of the committee on petitions, which was established in 1832, and since then it had laboured most serviceably in the public service. Previous to that time there was no arrangement with regard to the present ing of petitions, which was left entirely at the discretion of the members presenting then. It was now differently ar ranged, and the committee now made a selection of these petitions, which, from their nature, or their importance, should be printed. The average number of petitions which had been presented during the five years ending 1859 was 8,767 per year, and the average number of signatures 1,074,000. The number of petitions this year was 24,264, and the number of signatures upwards of 3,000,000, which would show the additional labour imposed on the committee. It further appeared that tho committee made 54 reports during this session, and 1,487 petitions were printed, the average number for the year having been about 910. Not only was the house indebted to this committee, but the petitioners themselves were also deeply indebted to them for mgiving ore efficiency to the expression of their wishes. The names of the committee were Mr. Gregson, the chairman, member for Lancashire, Mr. Carter, Mr. Barrow, Mr. A. Cathcart, Mr. Davison, Mr. Dillwyn, Mr. Foster, who devoted a great deal of his time to the business of the committee, Mr. Garth, Captain Grey, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Hartopp, Mr. A. Smith, Mr. Stanley, and Mr. Walter Talbot. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GREG SON thanked the noble lord for the kind manner in which he alluded to the services of the committee over which he (Mr. Gregson) presided. His success was entirely owing to the assistance which he received from the other members of the committee as well as the clerk of the committee. If he discharged his duty diligently he was only humbly imitating the conduct of the noble lord (Palmerston) who was night after night in his place. SAVOY AND NICE.—THE NEUTRAL PRO VINCES. Mr. B. COCHRANE drew the attention of the noble lord at the head of her Majesty's Government to a state ment which appeared in a newspaper as to the Emperor of the French having invaded the neutral provinces, and being about to construct a harbour on one side of the Lake of Geneva. Lord PALMERSTON said he had seen the statement in question. With regard to Savoy and Nice ke had to state this, namely, that it was held that the King of Sardinia was competent to cede, and the Emperor of the French to accept, the transfer of these provinces, subject, however to conditions imposed by the King of Sardinia, and agreed to by the Emperor. The latter con s id ere d that after the cession of the territory its possession should be decided by the wishes of the population, and the vote of the Chamber. THE DEANERY OF YORK. In reply to Mr. Culp FURD, Sir G. LEWIS said that the documents laid before the house afforded information relative to the proceedings Of the Ecclesiastical Commission, and any further information that was required would be better furnished by some mem ber of the commission more constant in attendance than a member of the Government. Mr. WESTHEAD made some observations, and the subject then dropped. NATIONAL DEFENCES. Sir F. SMITH asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the projects submitted to the Government by the late Mr. Ronnie, under date of the 27th day of August, 1814, and the Ist day of September, 1821, for the improve ment of the navigation of the River Medway and the ex tension of Chatham Dockyard, had been under the con sideration of the present Board of Admiralty ? Mr. WHITBREAD explained that there were objec tions to the adoption of the plan. THE PAPERMAKERS AND THE HOUSE OF LORDS. Mr. J. WHITE asked her Majesty's Government whether its attention had been called to the losses that had been incurred by persons in the paper trade, in consequence of their having relied upon the finality of the votes of the House of Commons in proving the ways and means for the service of the Crown, and whether any mode could be entertained for compensating the parties in question ; and whether, as a precedent has been established for the revision by the House of Lords of the provision annually made by this house for the service of the Crown, it would be in future expedient to obtain the concurrence of the House of Lords before any proposal of the remission of taxation is made to this house. He accused the house of having been guilty of gross extravagance in its votes for the present session, and an utter abandonment of its privileges in regard to its conduct on the vote of the House of Lords. Mr. JAMES considered that the hon. member had not paid sufficient attention to what had occurred in both Houses of Parliament during the week, or he would not have brought this subject forward. He con tended that the house had vindicated its privileges by the protest it had placed on its record that week. He thought they should have agreed in opinion with the high est legal authority ou this subject, the Speaker of the house That right hon. gentleman had explained that the other house had no intention of interfering with the privileges of the House of Commons, and he thought, under the cir cumstances, the claims of the house had been fully satis fied. Sir G. LEWIS; said there was no legal question at all involved in this matter, and he considered that the House of Lo Cs had made atonement. With regard to the paper makers, he could not see that any hardship had been in flitted, and the ,Treasury had no power whatever to give them any compensation. If the Treasury did possess that power, he did not consider that the paperruakers had made out any case to substantiate their claim to compensation. He did not think that the hon. member (Mr. White) had shown that there should be an alteration in the system of the House of Commons in regard to the question of privilege. As had been previously stated, the Lords said they had no intention of interfering with the privileges of the House of Commons, and they had adopted the course they had taken in reference to the paper duty solely because it was an extraordinary circum stance, and in their opinion required to be dealt with in an extraordinary manner. One noble lord with whom he had conversed, and who was favourable to the course taken by their lordships, had stated that such a course was to be used only in the shape of medicine, and not of daily food. If any change took place in this system respecting the subject of privilege, he did not think the form prescribed by the hon. member in his motion could be adopted. After a few words from Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, the sub ject dropped. The house then adjourned. 62 } 951 6 1 871 1 8 381 1 191 7} 6 1 I 'll lot i 2.11.10 16 FOREIGN MINES. 20 Australian 1 Bon Accord Copper,Llm.l 35 Brazil. Imp.
