0 N E Y MARKET AND COADIERCIA INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The sum of £40,000 in gold was taken to the Bank yesterday. The Hermann, from New York, has brought £16,512, and the City of Brooklyn £45,000. The Lancashire markets this week have opened without improvement. The estimate furnished to the House of Commons that the cost to the Government of taking over the telegraph system of the United Kingdom will be £6,750,000, and that after paying interest on this sum - a surplus revenue of £77,000 will be realised, even during the first year, harmonised with the ex pectations generally current, has been favourably. received. Considering the extent of the arrange ments to be made, and fhe fact that under them the telegraphic faclities of the country will at once be doubled, the intimation that the transfer will pro bably be brought into complete operation on the let of January next is also regarded with satisfac tion. According to the official returns the total ship ments of sherry from the Bay of Cadiz reached for the six months ended the 30th of June to 39,536 butts, against 37,217 in 1868. The New York advices mention that the Depart ment of Agriculture of the United States has issued its report for May and June, "presenting, on the whole, a favourable prospect."

With reference to the Great Western Railway of Canada, it is notified that, after deducting loss by exchange, proportion of interest charges, &c., the net profit for the four months to the 31st of May is $114,597.67 compared with $90,740.87 in the corresponding period last year. At 'the meeting of the shareholders of the Colo nial Bank, a dividend of 6 per cent. was declared for the half-year, in addition to an " extraordi nary" dividend of 1 per cent. At a meeting of Hodges' Distillery Company (Limited) it was decided - to wind up the undertak ing voluntarily. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the .

New York - ••• THE BEGISIRATION OF VOTERS. The report of the Committee on Registration has been laid on the table of the House of Commons. The legisla tion of 1867 rendered a thorough reform of the registra tion system necessary, and the report has dealt with the intricate subject in a clear and comprehensive manner. The committee consider it important that the original list of voters should be as complete as possible, and it is pro posed that a registrar should be substituted for the over seers in the duty of preparing the list. This will be in accordance with the Scotch system of the " valuation assessor," the results of which have been most satisfactory. The registrar is to be assisted in the preparation of his lists by the rate collectors and the letter carriers, it having been ascertained that these latter can render important services. The committee propose to throw back the date of the qualification for voters to the 31st of May, and the last day for the payment of rates for the purpose '.f registration would be the 23th of June. All claims and objections are to be sent in to the registrar within a month after the publication of ti e first list of voters, and it is proposed to change the present system with respect to objections. It is sug gested that every notice of objection should state speci fically the ground upon which the vote is objected to, in order to avoid the loss cf tim3 and other inconveniences that are now experienced. As soon after the 31st of July as possible the registrar is to publish the claims and ob jections in the same manner as the original list, and the task of eliminating those that are worthless will then commence. Another month will be taken by the registrar and his assistants to inquire into the character of the objections. It is proposed that the registrar himself shall have power to fill the office of claimant or objector, but his notices of objection must be served like the rest, and anyone would have the same right of objection to his additions as to the other names in the list. At the end of August the list of claims and objections revised by the registrar will be published. This list, as the former are, will be published in each street. The registrar's decisions are not to be legally conclusive, but it is expected they will be for the most part final. Anyone who wishes to contest the decision of the registrar is to serve a notice upon him to that effect. A final list will be published for those who are to attend at the revising court and defend their votes. It is believed that this th so•g investiga tion by the registrar will have prepared the way so far that the revising court will only have to deal with seriously disputed facts or law. As a security against frivolous objections, the objector is to give some pr:m2 face evidence of the nature of his objection before the voter is called upon to defend his vote. On the whole, the plan of the committee seems to be as per fect as any change in a defective system is likely to be ; and the chief point insisted on is important, namely, that the accuracy of the register should not depend on litigation, but on its careful preparation by a public officer. The committee give it as their opinion that a " complete and perfect plan of registration can only be looked for in a reformed system of local government." Galignani confirms the intelligence we published some days back that Mazzini had definitively left Zurich for England. He expresses his intention not to return until the Garibaldian party are resolved upon a general rising. A declaration exempting British subjects in Den mark, and Danish subjects in Great Britain, from forced loans, and compulsory military service was published on Tuesday. It was signed on the 14th of June. The subjects of either country which have become naturalised in the other do not come under this protection. LONG HAIR AND SHORT.—Our primitive ances tors, the Britons, and like them the Gauls, allowed their hair to grow undisturbed. It often reached below the waist, and men like Caractacus must have looked curi osities. Conquered by the Romans, the Gauls and Bri tons were ignominiously clipped. In his enumeration of the Gallic tribes led into captivity by Comer, Lucian speaks of the Liguses " now shorn, but erewhile possessed of an abundant flow of hair." Those of the Gauls who ob tained their liberation hastened to let their hair grow again ; in order the more to mark the importance they attached to flowing locks, they took to shaving their slaves. It is thus that Ausonius speaks of four young boys and four young girls, all shorn, as being a customary present to a rich Gaul on his wedding-day. At the be ginning of the fifth century Phararnond established his kingdom in the province which thenceforth took the name of France. The Gaul) were reduced to a state of bondage, and the conquerors laid ruthless scissors upon their vic tims' polls. From this time it became a generally understood thing all over Europe that long hair was the exclusive appanage of the great and noble. Not only serfs, but free peasants and burgesses, were forbidden to go about other wise than cropped. The glebe slaves on a nobleman's estate were even (during the fifth, sixth, and seventh cen turies) shorn altogether; and it is from this custom that the practice of saluting by taking off the hat arose. The act of uncovering the head amounted to saying, " See, sir, I am your servant ; I have no hair."—Dickeia's " All the Year Round."

The Post observes that the House of Lords has disposed of the remaining clauses in the Irish Church Bill, and the measure has now substantially assumed the shape in which it will be ninitt2el to the Commons. It must be confessed that it has undergone no inconsiderable modifi cations. It is coil ain'y recognisable, but perhaps that is all that can be said in its favour. Disesta,blishment does not admit of a greater or a less, and, bo far as the bill severs the union between Church and State in Ireland, it has been left unaltered. But disestablish ment admits of postponement, and the Peers did ro , t. throw away the opportunity of staving off the clay. even though it were only for twelve months. lis ,dowment, in the strict sense of the term, is as little capable of being toned down as disestablish went, but as the Peers were unwilling to disendow, they substituted partial endowment for that almost total deprivation oc property with which the House of Commons area tone , ' th disestab!ished Church. Practically, how ever, the n ca3ure is now in the form in which the Lords 1 will ask the 4 ominous to accept it, and, without neccs eerily p Li g a collision between the two Houses, e may feel confident th: t .f the bill is to become law the Upper House must undo much that it has done. The Daily News declares that the rapidity with which the House of Lords have worked their way through it, touching nearly every salient point, but by no means lin oving all that they have 'touched, is very remarkable. The measure which will leave the Uprer Chamber will be of a very different character from that which entered it. and mile' less acceptable to the country. It is quite , impossible that the House of Commons should assent to the Lords' amendments. It will be the business of the Government and of the Liberal party in the Lower Chamber to restore the Lill to its original foim ; and unless in con ference the Lords skew themselves more reasonable than in their own debates, we may expect an autumn session of an exciting character. The Peers have done their best to spoil a measure which they prudently refrained from rejecting. In the llonso of Commons the deformed must be transformed. Lord Kimberley plainly intimated that the bill would not be accepted in the form which the Lords have given to it. This declaration on the part of the Ministry will relieve supporters of the measure from any anxiety they might otherwise feel at the fantastic tricks of a capricious majority - in the Upper House. The Standard says that the bill has now received the form in which the Lords are willing to accept it. In that form it will go down to the Commons, and it remains to be seen how Mr. Gladstone will deal with it. His opponents have shown great forbearance and made great sacrifices; wil; h a in return chew a little moderation and give up a little of his own way, or will he throw the country into confusion in order to exact an implicit compliance with his individual will and pleasure? In a word, will he act like a respo::s:hle statesman, or like a reckless demagogue: 'lime will chew ; we can only hope that the evil auguries of his past career may not now Le fultiiied. Such as it now is, says the Star, the Lords have passed the Irish Church Bill through committee. In dismissing it they gave it the cruellest cut of all. They resolved by ico votes against v;io that the surplus should be hung up indefinitely, to be disposed of hereafter at the pleasure of Parliament. A more slashing blow could hardly have been aimed at the bill, but there was little virulence in the debate 'a hich accompanied it. The preamble was destined, not only to be mangled by the prime enemy of the bill, but to be spurned by the leader who had charge of it. "I shall say `Not content' to the question that the preamble stand part of the bill"—so spoke Lord Granville—" in order to mark my disapproval of the course your lordships have taken with the bill." TI e bill is now substantially in the state in which it will be read a third time. When this stage has been reached, as it pro bably may be on Monday, the Clerk of the House of Lords will, in the course of the week, bear the bill back to the Lower House. It will then be seen what response the Commons mean to give to the emphatic " Not content," which is Lord Grauville's verdict on the Government bill in the disguise which has been thrust upon it. The Herald, in discussing the volunteer meeting at Wimbledon, observes that the importance of the volunteer movement consisted in its spirit, and, all discouraging influences notwithstanding, its spirit is better than ever. The very breakdowns which have happened testify to the earnestness of the public ; they have been marked, repro bated, and remembered ; we no more tolerate the insub ordination or incapacity of riflemen than we should the incapacity or insubordination of regular soldiers. In the volunteer establishment now existing Great Britain has given a proof of her historical character. Where artificial or purchased methods failed she helped herself ; she put on a uniform, she sounded a bugle ; forth with recruits came forward, and at this date 170,000 men are, of their own accord, uncNr arms, prepared to protect the country. Their cost to the nation is less than £200,000 a year. Of their importance to the empire, judging a military force by its military exploits, we cannot of course judge ; yet we may perhaps be right in saying that the temper of a time when war is not imminent is more crucial as a test than that of a period when an invader might be hovering along our shores. In our volunteer organisation we possess a national fortress ; it is growing more impreg nable every year ; it is the physical pick of England, and we may trust . to it, should the occasion ever be created, for cool firing, accurate aim, well-judged distances, ability to adapt movements to the nature of the ground, and fearless exposure or safe concealment at the proper moment. Wimbledon is their grand school, although certain anniversaries may bring out qualities different from those of the mere marksman. The marksman, however, provided he be of the nature to undergo a trial without an oversetting excitementof the mind, is the model volunteer ; he is not exactly a soldier ; he is a weapon of defence, and each July Wimbledon tells us what may be expected from him. In point of fact, the rifle makes the rifleman, and once perfectly instructed in the use of his arm, the volunteer may doff his shako to " the four quarters of the world," inviting them to a friendly or unfriendly competition. no Telegraph declares that for Faraday's fame it ~^ ". o r3 nothing whether England shall do him honour— h in that comparatively obsolete and clumsy fashion wii.cti is the only way that seems to have occurred to Mr. Lowe, or in the admirable arrangements for carrying on his noble work which have suggested themselves to his brother students ; but it. matters a good deal to England herself. Mr. Lowe, to do him justice, seldom cants and seldom talks sheer Philistinism ; but there is a strong savour of both vices in such a phrase as this. "I will say further, that the principle of this country , has been to have its citizens actuated by a feeling of duty rather than of glory; as if "the principle of this country," or a dozen others, could get us a single Faraday when we wanted one. We are contented to meet Mr. Lowe on the strange moral ground which he has so oddly chosen, in his retreat from a :till more untenable position. He ended thus : " The nation is not hi an ascending scale which is prodigal of its rewards." England, we reply, i 3 prodigal to many men ; it . is only when she has to deal with literature, science, and the arts, that she spews herself the meanest aid most niggardly among the nations. She was beginning, as we hoped, to grow ashamed of such defects ; to be a little more discriminating in her judgment of the men who really render the loftiest services ; but we find that th e old leaven is still strong, and that the old prejudices are hard to kill. We have, perhaps, no right to be surprised at this ; but we have at least a right, as Liberals, to lament that when a national memorial was, proposed to ono of the most illustrious of modern Englishmen, a Minister of State should have endeavoured to discourage the proposal—firstly, by citing a " rule" whi c h ex i ste d only in his own brain, and, secondly, by sophistical com monplaces to which such a brain should have refused a hearing. • • The Times remarks that the last act of the Lords in com mittee has completed the transformation of the lainiste rial scheme. " What is to done ?" is the question which must receive the attention of Government during the next week. The bill has passed through committee, it will be reported on Friday, and though a strenuous effort will be then made to reverse Some of the decisions of the committee, and in the matter of the release without payment of the glebe-houses of the Establishment many Liberal peers will now support the Government who before voted against them, yet we have considerable doubt whether any real modification of the bill will be effected, and we are constrained to adopt the conclusion that it will return to the Commons Practically in the shape in which it now stands. We confess that we look upon this as a serious matter, calling for ail plainness and sincerity of thought and expression on the part of those who have to consider it. The solution of the difficulty is not hard to discover if persons will honestly confess the truth. Let the Government recog nise the wishes of Parliament and the ccuntry. None of us supposed the nation had advanced so far in the pro gress of liberality as we flaw see it has done. 'l'l er ;is no humiliation in finding that the world is better than we had believed. Adopt the policy of providing resi dences and glebes for the priests and ministers of Ireland, and Lords and Commons can easily be reconciled. The grant of houses to Presbyterians and Catholics will balance the concession of the parsonages to Irish Churchmen. Such a settlement would be easy and satisfactory, and if anyone doubts whether it is demanded by every sentiment of justice to Ireland, let him read Lord Taunton's speech on Tuesday night. Why should it not be adopted ? Do the Ministry object to any appear ance of endowing error? The Duke of Argyll on Tuesday night protested that he was not betrayed by this prejudice into the doing of injustice. Is it because the opinion of the country rejects it? We believe the country to be ready and willing to Support it. No. If the opportunity be once more rejected it will be became the governing powers of the country, being unable to rise above the catchwords of party, dare not look openly and courageously at the truth. HPERIAL PARLIA A ENT HOUSE OF COMMON6'.—Tins DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. TRADES' UNIONS, &c., BILL. Mr. T. HUGHES moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to relieve trades' unions from an exceptional position in the eyo of the law, leaving them separated, liko other bodies, to the general law of the country when charges were preferred against them. It also proposed to prevent the recurrence of illegal and ob jectionable acts on their part, and to enable them to take measures for their protection against fraud in a sum- mary and inexpensive way beforn a justice of the pace. Ho denied that trades unions—in which strikes were un avoidable— were favourable to them, or that their opera tion bad the effect of driving trade out of the country. The remedy proposed by the measure, which Le bad the honour to ask the house to • read a second time, was to sweep away the combination laws, and to allow masters and workpeople to make their contracts with respect to the manner in which work should be performed, and for making such societies subject to the common law of the country. The only other proposal of the bill was to protect the funds of these societies, which the Embezzlement Act passed last year did not sufficiently guard. He thought those societies deserved well of the country if only for the amount of good they did in the way of benevolence. The Engineers' Society bad paid away no less a sum than £lOO,OOO in supporting the members of their own body against the privations caused by want of work and other circum stances; the ironworkers had also paid upwards of .00,000 in support of their members when in want, and nume rous other societies had done equally large amounts of benefit; and, if on no other ground, he hoped that the house would read the bill a second time if only on the grounds of expediency. (Hear, hear.) If these large trade societies were placed on the same position as other friendly societies, the most beneficial results would follow, but if Parliament refused them that which was but justice, there never would be peace amongst the industrious classes of the country. Mr. MUNDELLA seconded the motion. Mr. MASSEY said that while the bill gave protection to a large body of persons belonging to trades' union; yet he thought it ought to be so arranged that the same amount of protection ought to be given to those w'ho kept aloof from those societies. Ho did not believe that trades' unions did anything like the benefits claimed for them by those engaged in them. Tko great regulator was supply and demand—(hear) —and he could safely assure the house that the rate of wages did not give a true view of the value of the work done, because he could speak from certain facts that in works carried on by his father abroad, that in all cases where the highest price for la bour was paid there the work was better and more satis factorily performed than. in cases where low wages were only given. 111 r. FORSTER supported the second reading of the bill. Mr. HENLEY said it was much to be regretted that as the gulph was widening between the employer and tho em ployed Goveinment should have delayed introducing a bill on the subject, and also stood in the way of a private member dealing in the matter. The bill was then read a second time without a division SUNDAY TRADING BILL. Mr. RYLAND said as this bill had bees on the list for a considerable time, and there did not appear to be the least likelihood of its being passed during the present session, he hoped the hon. member would now move the discharge of the order. Mr. T. HUGHES said lie could not do so, and he should bring the bill forward ou Monday week. The house ►►greed to the Lords' a►ncnd►rents to the Deerhouscs Act. The other orders having been disposed of, the house acljourLed. THE CAMP AT WIMBLEDON. This morning at gun fire the principal competition of the meeting commenced, and before night the 200 aids range of the first stage of the Queen's prize will be finished. There are no prizes attached to this range, nor from the results can any idea be got of likely winners, as it often happens that a gool shoulder shot comes to grief at the longer ranges. The number of competitors is over 1,800 and within a few they will all turn up to-day. The Martin's challenge cup which is competed for by marksmen of this year or last, is going on nt the GOO yards IL I. K. targets. The Lords and Commons' match is fixed for to-morrow at three.

THROWING RUBBISH INTO TILE THAMES.—William Tur ner, sged 27, and John Turner, 20, belonging to the barge henry and Francis, were brought before Mr. Benson, charged with throwing rubbish overboard into the Thames off Cherry-garden -stairs, Rotherhithe. Impector Firtnir, of the Thames Porne, said the Henry and Francis belonged to M. William Turner, a respoct able lighter man and Large dealer, the father of the pri soners, and he Nay. , them navigate the Large from Cherry .s-ardep, on the Surrey shore, to Wapping, on the Middle sex slime, whore they commenced throwing rubbish, in the shape of old matting, into the river. There was atout a ton and a half of rubbish in the barge. William Turner said, in Lie defence, that he never threw anything overboard. He was never in the hole of the barge. John Turner said a few old mats brought out of a dock o accommodate a captain of a ship only wore thrown into the river. Mr. Turner, son., sail he forbade rubbish of any de scription being thrown from his lighters. Inspector Firmir said both prisoners were throwing old matting into the river, but William Turner stoutly denied this, as far as he was concerned. Mr. Benson said the high character of the elder Mr. Turner, would induce him to mitigate the fine. He in flicted a penalty of ss. on each defendant, and said he believed the police. The money was paid. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. ROBBERY BY A BARMAID. —Emma Jay, barmaid in the employ of Mr. Wm. H. Bedding, licensed victualler, of Princes-street, Leicester-square, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with robbing her employer. The prosecutor said that, having suspicions that the prisoner was robbing him, he communicated with the police and had some money marked, and some of it was found in the prisoner's box. Sergeant Gould, 14 0, proved making a purchase °I the prisoner and tendering her a alining, which he had pre viously marked, and the shilling and another he had also marked and given to a person to pass wore found by him in the prisoner's box, and also one which was marked by the prosecutor.

ROYAL VISIT TO LYNN.—The Lyn n new d ock was opened to-day by the Prince and Princess of Wales. The town presents au animated appearance. Sacramento papers give long accounts of the funeral of John C. Heenan, the " Benicia Boy," and long accounts are given by other papers of a prize fight between Allen and A1!Cloole, in which the former announced him self as an Englishmen, had no money, and therefore could not accept the bet of $2,000 .11.‘Coole desired to force on him, and asked for fair play. Ho then set to work, and gave the Irish giant an awful thrashing, but it ended with him as with Heenan in England; the mob, who bad backed the wrong man, and were likely to lose their money, burst into the ring and stopped the fight, just in time to save their champion. Although it was clear 0124 Allen was the winner, and was recognized as such, yet the re feree decided the fight in favour of 11‘Coole, alleging a kul on Allen's part in attempting to gouge M'Coole —a prcceed ing highly improbable, considering that he was already the victor. In fact, Allen received, at St. Louis, about the same amount of fair play that Heenan did in his celebrated fight with Sayers. al E7‘ll3rn(NAli The Third Edition of " The Sun " of last Evening was published in time for delivery in town at 7.15 p.m. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK.

The surprising sale of these invaluable medi cines in every part of the civilised world is the most cm.- vincing proof of their efficacy, of which,were further proof required, the long list of voluntary testimonials receiv«t from grateful patients in all quarters of the globe wouhl amply supp'y it. They speedily curs bad legs,.old scrofula, and all diseases of the skin. Thousands of per sous who had long and severely suffered from those dread ful maladies have hen cured by these medicaments, after every other means had failed ; and it is a fact beyond all doubt that there is no case, however obstinate or botreVer long-standing, which they fail to relieve. Race Glasses, byVoigtliincler, are now no longer the ex clusive luxury of the rich. Since the great demand for photographic lenses has diminished, au opportunity bee been afforded for applying mechanical power with the greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and most perfect instruments is reduced iu price in som instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now no dearer than those of the best French or English maker,. At the aepot Callaghan, 23A, New Bond-street, corner of Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge their taste in the possession of a veritable Voigt!itader at comparatively trifling cost. It is superfluous to say the quality is as ever matchless. I f
