The sum of £70,000 in gold was taken to the Bank yesterday. Advices from Frankfort state that the long con tinued activity on the Bourse has at length sub sided, and that the market presents distinct symp toms of being overstocked, particularly as regards American descriptions, which are largely in the bands of speculators, waiting for the investments likely to be made when the July dividends become due. Mr. Walker, from Boston, is now negotiat ing at Frankfort for a 5 per cent. Massachusetts loan, but objections are made to the price upon which he insists. The issue of 5 per cent. Lombard Bonds at 90 in Vienna currency, equal to 731 in silver, has been a great success, the subscriptions having been largely beyond the required amount. Austrian shares are heavy; Lombards remain firm, being favourably influenced by sanguine expecta tions of the participation of the company in the projected Turkish network of lines, al though as yet there appears little disposition to engage in this affair, owing to its magnitude, and the long time its completion would take, and the consequent uncertainties in case of any dis turbance in the East while the works were in progress. A subscription for the shares, it is said, would have but a poor chance in Germany. The influx of American bonds Lav:ng ceased exchange on London is a little lower; but the Frankfort bankers, generally well stored with long bills on this city, " have been cleared of them, and thus a very useful reserve has been absorbed by the ex tent of the vast speculation." The German corn markets are rising, unseasonable weather having prevailed ; but there is as yet, it is said, no appre hensions for the crops, and all would be s,:t right by a favourable change. The wine crop alone ap pears to be irretrievably lost. For the holders of Elizabeth Railway shares, of which there are many iu England, it is mentioned that for the construc tion of new lines 15,000,000 florins will be raised, 10,000,000 by new shares and 5,000,000 by the issue of preference stock. The holders of old shares have the option to claim for three shares a new one at 82, and for six a preference share at 86, both payable in Vienna currency, 5 per cent. interest in silver being guaranteed by the Austrian Govern ment. It is reported from Vienna that the Minister of Finance is preparing some measure for paying the interest of their bonds to foreign holders as hitherto in the principal foreign towns. In the colonial produce markets this week there has been a steady demand without material change in quotations. Refiners have taken a fair quantity of sugar at firm rates, and several floating cargoes have been disposed of. Some parcels of bright grocery were sold yesterday at full rates. The good and fine coloury qualities of coffee have met with more competiaon, and in many instances prices have been in favour of the sellers, but common and grey sorts are still sold with difficulty unless at lower terms. East India of good character sold well. The tea market has continued very quiet throughout the week, and the transactions have been extremely limited. The Indian sales were held on Tuesday and \Vednesday, when pekoes went heavily. In other kinds prices remained unchanged. Moderate supplies of cocoa have been partly dis posed of without alteration in value. Several car goes of rice have changed hands at higher rates, but on the spot the market is quiet. White pepper has been realised at prices slightly favourable to buyers. In other spices there is no change. The report of the Hudson's Bay Company, to be presented on the 2d of July, states the profit for the year to have been £71,533, against £54,874 in the preceding year, and recommends a dividend of Ss. per share, making, with the interim distribution of Gs. in January, 14s. per share for the year against 12s. in the preceding year. At the annual meeting of the Ebbw Vale Com pany yesterday a dividend of 10s. per share was de clared, making, with the interim dividend, 17s. 6d. for the year, leaving a balance of £6,259 to be car ried forward. The Postmaster-General has concluded a con tract with the London, Belgium, Brazil, and River Plate Royal Mail Steamship Company (Limited) for the conveyance of mails, via Falmouth, on the 3d of each month, to Rio Janeiro, Montevideo, and Buenos Ayres, returning from Buenos Ayres on the 17th of each month. It is hoped that the City of Brussels, which leaves Falmouth on the 3d of July, will take the first snail. Messrs. S. L. Halliwell and Brother, of Spring. head Mill, Lees, nearth Saddleworth, have called a meeting of their creditars. Their liabilities are said to be small. BRITISH FUNDS-CLOSING PRICES.'

Mgt lOO 115 116 -- Do. Apriland Oct 111 112 THE BETTING-HOUSE PROSECUTION. DOW-STREET POLICE COURT.—Tuts DAY. To-day William Wright, of Brydge's-street, Covent-garden, Alfred Arnold, John Barton, John Scheller, Alfred Dufferin, George Taylor, James Wakeling, Jonas Correy, John Tooley, George Donaldson, William Ulp, Francis Bernan, Thomas Graham, George West, William Nicholson, and Samuel Lockwood appeared on remand before Sir Thomas Henry, charged under the 3dsection with keeping a betting-house, contrary to the Act of Parliament, bat the defendants were not placed in the dock. Mr. Poland appeared on the part of the Treasury to prosecute, and Mr. Sergeant Sleigh defended Mr. Wright. It will be recollected that the police made a seizure on Wright's premises last Saturday, and took possession of various papers and books found therein, and that the proceedings were adjourned, in order to enable an examination of the documents to be made, and also for the purpose of considering what course should be adopted with respect to those defendants who acted, merely as clerks to Mr. Wright. Mr. Poland said that since last Saturday it had been ascertained that all the defendants, except Wright, were messengers and clerks, and as they had received no profits he did not propose to offer any evidence against them. Sir T. Henry thought that was the proper course, and therefore he ordered all, except Wright, to be discharged. Mr Poland said the charge against Wright was laid under the 3d section of the Act 16 and 18 Vic., chap. 119, which was as follows : " Any person who, being the owner and occupier of any house, office, or place, or person using the same, shall open, keep, and use the same for pur poses herein mentioned, or either of them and any person who, being the owner or occupier of any house, shall knowingly and - wilfully permit the same to be opened, kept, or used by any other per son for the purposes aforesaid, and any person having assisted in conducting the business of any such house, shall be liable to a penalty of £lOO, and in default committed to gaol for six mouths." The learned counsel then stated the proceedings against Wright. The police officer had sent to Mr. Wright to back Cock of the Walk for the Royal Hunt Cup, and that amongst the books seized was a book containing the actual acknowledgment of the receipt of the money from the public, which book contained no less than 56,000 vouchers, from which not less than 32,980 had been taken, and in a space of not less than three months. The money, it appears, was sent in a letter in sums of not less than 103., and then a voucher was sent to the person trans • mitting the money, stating the amount of the odds laid. The learned counsel having also read the advertisement inserted in the newspapers, the defendant stating that bets were laid by him as commissioner, and that all persons representing him other than at his office in York-street, were welchers and swindlers, said he was quite sure that he should make out a:case against Mr. Wright, and that, amongst other things, although he (Wright) appeared as a member of Tattersall's, it appeared that there could be no doubt, when he was asked to make a particular bet, he got a horse that he thought would not win, that he took the bet him self, and put the money into his own pocket. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh objected to such reflections. All the defendant proposed to do was to obtain as a commission agent bets for certain persons on races that might be named. Sir Thomas Henry —Thoso are not the wordi either in the Act or the summons. Mr. Poland said he would not make any further observations, but call evidence to show the property taken possession of by the police. Sergeant W. Palmer, of the detective department, then read a list of numerous sporting books, amongst which was one containing the bet of the inspector of police, and the voucher of its repayment. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh said he would not trouble his learned friend to go into details, as he thought it would be useless to consume valuable time. Al though he felt there was no case against the de fendant, yet he felt that, as other proceedings must be taken, it would be futile to occupy the time of the Court. Sir I'. Henry remarked that there was a power, under the 22d and 23d of Victoria, to the defen dant to claim a special case in the event of a sum- wary conviction. Mr. S.3rgt. Sleigh said that on the part of the de fendant he had to say that it never was his inten tion to contravene the law. Ile had carried on his business within the four corners of the law, and if he bad fallen into an error he was ready to bow to the decision of the Court. Ile could not help say ing that the raid which had been made upon per sons of the position of Mr. Wright for betting was most unjust, considering that about half of the House of Lords and two-thirds of the House of Commons took part in it. The learned sergeant was about to quote the opinions of the law officer of the Crown on introducing the Act, which he contended was to meet the case where betting was carried on by boys and servants for small sums in shops open for that purpose. Sir T. Henry told the learned Sergeant he could not hear quotations from the speeches of members of Parliament. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh said he was merely quoting from " Hansard," and he did not know that he was wrong in doing so ; however, he would desist ; and he could only say he believed that Mr. Wright was a most respectable person, and that he had con ducted his business quite as correctly as any mem ber of the Stock Exchange. If therefore he had been acting wrongly, he was prepared to bow to the decision of the court. Sir T. Henry—l am very anxious to know what is the exact point of law you desire that I should state for the opinion of the Court of Queen's Bench? Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—That this is not a betting house within the Act of Parliament. Sir T. Henry—But I must state that he did receive £1 from the officer, Lansdown, as and for a consideration for an assurance to pay a given sum of money thereafter on the contingency of a horse race. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—Yes, and also that when the money was forwarded a voucher was sent. Sir T. Henry—Yes, and the money was paid. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—Yes, just as the member of the Stock Exchange gives a contract note. Sir T. Henry--But then you don't give the name of a third party. Lansdown sends the money, and Wright forwards the amount of the bet if the horse backed wins. You make mention of the name of no third party. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—The whole world is the third party. Sir T. Henry—My difficulty is what I am to ask the Court of Queen's Bench to decide. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—To ask, on the facts stated before you, Sir Thomas, that this is not a betting house under the Act. Sir T. Henry—But the Court would be certain to send the case back, without it contained facts. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—You can, Sir Thomas, frame the case on the facts stated before you. Sir T. Henry—l must draw the information and state the bet of Lansdown. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—But it has not been proved that Wright received the money for himself, but that it was for investment. Sir T. Henry—There is nothing to show that ; the voucher states that the - money will be sent if w o n . The voucher is an undertaking to pay. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—l don't think, with the greatest respect, that it can be so considered. Sir T. henry—You don't, on the part of Mr. Wright, say the vouchers is not a promise to pay? Mr. Sergeant Sleigh--I cannot think that the voucher can be so regarded. Sir T. Henry—l think it is a promise. I shall have to state it found as a promise. I want to know point of law I can state to which the Court of Queen's Bench is to be called upon to give itf con sideration? Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—You can state that it was contended before you r sir, that the defendant's was not a betting-house. Sir T. Henry—Yes ; but if you can ~ , how that the bet was entered into by a third person, and pre duce that person, I will adjourn the case fora week to enable the person to be in attendance to give evidence. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh said he c - Juld not at that noment say that, but he would consult his client if such was the case. Sir T. llenry—l have no desire to withhold the consideration of this case from the Court of Queen's Bench, but I am most anxious to discover how I can put the matter for the Court of Queen's Bench o determine Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—That the defendant did not keep a betting- houae within the meaning of the Act. Sir T. Henry—Wright kept an office for the purpose of reeeiving money or valuable thing ; that is, a post-office order forldependence ou the issue of a horse race. Mr. ,Sergeant Sleigh—l am quite aware of the difficulty of stating a special case ; but I am most but what I desire is that the cause should be sent 'or trial to the Old Bailey, from which it could be removed by certiorari to the Court of Queen's Bench and tried by the Lord Chief Justice, the highest criminal judge of the Crown. Sir T. Henry—l have no power to send the case to the Queen's Bench, and if it is tried in that court it can only be done by removal from the Old Bailey. ➢ir. Poland—l cannot consent to such a course being adopted. I think the case ought to be dealt with in a summary manner. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—l think a case of such im portance ought most certainly to be tried by the higbest tribunal, and I regret it cannot be tried until after the vacation. Mr. Poland—And the defendant will not carry on the business in the meantime ? Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—Quite so. Mr. Wright in structs me to say he will not continue his business until after a decision has been arrived at. Sir T. Henry—l must hear what Mr. Hawkins, who appears in another case (that of Morris), has to say. _ . Mr. Hawkins—That I am only desirous of knowing what the law is. (Laughter.) It is a subject of the highest importance, and it is most important the question of the law on the matter should be fully decided, and that, too, without the slightest disrespect to you Sir Thomas, by the highest court in the land. I contend that my client has not brought himself within the peril of the law and has not infringed the Act of Parliament. I say the voucher is not a promise to pay, though money is held by Mr. Morris merely as a stake holder, and it is in the power of anybody so sending money to countermand the transaction if it has not already been laid out. Sir T. Henry—Yes ; became it has been deposited for an illegal purpose. Mr. Hawkins—l don't think I shall at all alter your decision, although I don't altogether despair of doing so. The learned gentleman then pro ceeded to address himself to the legal technicalities of the case. Sir 'l'. Henry—You are arguing your case, Mr. Hawkins, with very great ingenuity, but I want you to show me that this voucher is not a promise to pay. How can I put the case fur the Court if not " to pay if the horse wins." Mr. Hawkins—Mr. Morris only wants to have the strict legal question decided—whether or no he has infringed the Act of Parliament. He is a gen tleman of honour and integrity, and has never— Sir T. Henry—Nothing has been said or implied that he has not kept his engagements; and what is now required is that the law should be fully ex plained, that is all. If I sencl . the case to the Queen's Bench, I am afraid it cannot be tried before next January. Mr. Sleigh—But there is a promise that the business will not be carried on during the interim. Sir T. Henry—Oh yes, I know that; and 1 am quite ready to adjourn the case for a fortnight, if the legal gentlemen can all agree on a case that 1 can sign for the consideration of the Superior Court. Mr. Hawkins—l can assure you, Sir T. Henry, there is no wish for delay on our part. We are only too anxious for the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, and that it should be known by everybody. Sir T. Henry—l cannot see that the trial in the Court of Queen's Bench by a special jury will be quite certain to dispose, of the matter, if it is dealt with in the way that some parties propose. Sup pose the jury should disagree, awl there should be no verdict, you would have to do the matter all over again. Mr. Hawkins—That would be one of the hap piest results possible. (Laughter.) Sir T. Henry—l think the easiest and most speedy way of dealing with the matter will be to frame a special case on a point of law for the Court of Queen's Bench, and the four counsel most likely will be able to draw up one agreeable to all patties. I must find the facts proved, but my judgment will be suspended during the consideration of the points of law raised. Mr. Poland—lf you say, Sir Thomas, that there is a point of law that requires to be decided, I shall not further oppose; but I do think it is a case that can be decided summarily. I think I ought to have a decision, and then the defendant could get a case for the consideration of the superior court. Mr. T. Henry—The best course to adopt is to consider the case proved, to adjourn the matter for a fortnight, when the special case can be drawn up to the satisfaction of all parties. Mr. Poland—And all the business to be stopped and all advertising to be withheld ? Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—Oh, yes. Mr. Hawkins—My client has carried on business for over eleven years. Mr. Poland—Then it is quite time it was stopped. I may as well state that it is the firm determina tion of Government to put all those houses down, large as well as small, and those who keep open after this inquiry do s. at their owu peril. Mr. Sergeant Sleigh—And Tattersall's ? Mr. Poland—That is a private club. The case of Mr. Sidney Smith being included in the discussion that took place in the two former ones, the other defendants being discharged as in the case of the assistants to Mr. Wright. The matter was then adjourned for a fortnight, the defendants entering into their own recog nizauces to appear. An application was made by the various counsel for the return of certain books found at the three houses, and the magistrate said some of them could bs returned on the attorney for the defendants giving Mr. Poland an understanding that they would be produced when required. The parties then retired. The court was crowded during the inquiry, and the greatest interest prevailed. POLICE INTELLIGEIVCE.-7his Day. MARLBOROUGH -STREET.

The 150th anniversary of the settlement of Lon donderry, New Hampshire, was celebrated ou Thursday, June 10, in the presence. of 10,000 people. Gilmore 's band of Boston furnished the music. Ex-Lieutenant-Governor Patterson, of New York, presided, and Charles H. Bell, of Exeter, was the orator of the day. Among the other speakers were Horace Greeley, a native of the old town, Senator Patterson, Prcfessor J. H. Taylor, of Andover, George W. Morrison and E. H. Derby of Utica. A colla tion under a tent closed the proceedings. Londonderry was settled iu 1719 by six Scotch families from London derry, Ireland, and was then known as Nutfield. It was incorporated in 1772 under its present name. The town was represented in the Revolution as early as Bunker Hill by a company of 70 picked men. Intelligence from Louisville, June 11, asserts: — "The remains of Lieutenant P. J. Terrill, an officer iu the Fenian organisation, were refused the burial rites of the Roman Catholics because the Brotherhood appeared in church iu regalia. The body was taken from the church and followed to the cemetery by a large concourse of Feniaus. The action of the priest has caused a profound sensation."
