A portion of the Mexican dollars brought by the West India steamer, and also of those reserved from the previous large arrival, have been sold at 592 d. per ounce, showing a decline of id. The Frankfort advices state that the adverse re action which had set in on the Bourse was of short duration, and that although the liquidation for the month showed the market to be much overstocked, a new impulse to speculation had been given from Berlin, where all kinds of shares have experienced another rise. A lottery loan of 16 million lire for the city of Leghorn has been contracted for by Italian and Frankfort bankers. The Ileideberg- Heilbronn line will be opened fer traffic on the sth inst. The Central Se iss Government have given a concession for the Rigi Railway from Vitznau by lialtbad to Staffel.

The minimum price was fixed, as before, at is. 101 d. on Calcutta and Madras, and tenders on these Presidencies at ls. 1111. will receive about 52 per cent., and all above that price in full. These results show a slight diminution in the demand for Means of remittance to the East.

Certain police-constables stand accused by a magisterial decision of combining in a false charge against three young men, and neither the Government nor the Commissioner of Police will make any formal inquiry into the truth of the accusation. Even if there were nothing more to be said about the affair, the public would have cause for considerable uneasiness and dissatisfaction. If deliberate condemnation by a police magistrate does not render a policeman liable to be placed on his defence, what is the degree of conspiracy, short of flagrant perjury, which will bring hint under suspicion? Of course the police would but rarely trump up a charge the falsehood of which would be at once evident cn inquiry. They are far too well acquainted with the practice of evidence to expose their statements to such easy refutation. The danger of the public and the temptation of the force are to be appre hended in doubtful cases, where possibilities ne.. ‘; evenly balanced. We are all liable to be placed in positions open to misconstruction, and it is in such circumstances as these that we must rely on the integrity of policemen, or, in the last resort, on the weight attached to the experienced judgment of magistrates. If, as in this instance, both these resources are capable of failing us, we shall be obliged to regard the police as being nearly as great a terror to honest men as to evildoers. It is not, indeed, to be expected that errors, or even occasional misconduct, can be avoided in so large a force. But what we du ex pect is that, whenever there is ground, as there un doubtedly is in this instance, to suspect such conduct, the charge should be rigidly investigated by those who are re sponsible for the force. As the case now stands, the police are on their trial, and it is their duty to defeu' themselves. The Post says that the Prelates of the Anglican Churc& in Ireland are now taking counsel how best to adapt themselves to the altered circumstances which result from the recent Act of Parliament. It is impossible not to wish them well in their arduous undertaking. When Mr. Gladstone bade the Church `‘ God-speed " on her new career he only spoke the good wishes of tens Of thousands on this side of the Channel. The disestablishment of that Church was not a penal measure inflicted fur past mis doings or shortcomings. It was simply remedial—undoing that which, in the opinion of the present Parliament, ought never to have been done. The Church is not dis graced, and none will exult over her inevitable difficulties as if they implied dishonour or a deserved downfall. The troubles which she has now to face let it be carefully noted—axe simply pecuniary. That is all. She has lost all but a nominal part- of her property; nothing • else. She has lost nothing vital, nothing neces sary to her as a Church ; while she has gained a liberty that is past all price. One immediate consequence of her disestablishment will be poverty. But surely poverty is no new thing in the Church of the Apostles. Humanly speaking, every thing turns upon the wisdom and courage of the bishops at this supreme moment. If they are wise to trace ont the ancient foundations, and bold enough to build upon them, the Irish Church may yet live to be thankful for its disestablishment; but a halting fear of a complete and independent polity, an incapability of recog nising and embracing the greatness of the opportunity, a feeble clinging to old traditions of Church and State will ruin all, and the Church will then suffer more from her weak friends than from the strongest of her foes. While our best wishes go with the Church and follow her into a prosperous fixture, we cannot help feeling a nervous mis giving lest her rulers should not prove equal to the present occasion. The Daily News states that the late Bishop of Salisbury did not signify any wishes whatever as to his successor in the see. It is most natural that the Moderate and Low Churchmen in the diocese of Salisbury should wish to have a bishop of their own way of thinking and feeling, and it would be a misfortune if, through the appointment of oishops too much resembling their predecessors in their sees, dioceses were to acquire a stereotyped character ; one being understood to be permanently high, another perma nently low, and so on. We trust the Churchmen of the diocese of Salisbury will enjoy before long the superin tendence of a chief pastor wise to discern the signs of the times, and able to unite all parties among his clergy and people. They will not, however, have a truer Churchman or a more devout and loving Christian for their Bishop than the one they have just lost. Throughout the trials and controversies which preceded Dr. Hamilton's last illness, it was easy to perceive even from the language of his opponents in how great esteem be was held. The Guardian of Wednesday states that "in many a Nonconformist chapel prayers were offered up for him during his last illness." This would not be very surprising. Character, when deep and clear, will inevitably assert the superiority of its i&.fluencc over mere views, and Dr. Hamilton was loved fur what he was known to Le, notwithstanding what he was known conscientiously to believe respectirg the case of those who were outside of u hat he held to be the true Church. We shall need more of this robust and magnanimous Christian charity in the times that are at hand. The Star, in referring to the Habitual Criminals Bill, observes that such stated sriminals are the special enemies of society. 'I heir very exiieLee, FO long as they reso lutely adhere to crime as a resource, is an offence and a warfare against tl.e community. The liberty of the sub ject.is pfecious ; but such subjects as these can have ns claim to it. Mr. Bruce sheaved a fitting courage in the phraseology which he on Wednesday used in speaking of this class. He sail they must be hunted down. If the Habitual Criminals Bill is to be applied, it is as well we should all know that its object is expressed in these blunt and terrible words : The habitual criminal is to be hunted down. He is to be under the constant inspection of the police for a certain term after his second conviction. He is to be imprisoned if, being suspected, he fails to prove that be is getting his living honestly. And in the event of his incurring a second conviction for a grave offence, be is to be subject to this police supervision for life, and will always be liable to imprisonment for no other offence than being without ostensible means of livelihood. In fact, it is to be a trial between society and the habitual criminal, whether the latter cannot be tired out of his aversion te labour and his predilection for robbery. We can only hope that, in the exercise of the greatly increased strength now placed at their disposal, the authorities will recognise the necessity of using it with the strictest reference to the one object of the bill. It is not an object of the bill to put convicted persons, who are anxious to live honestly, at the mercy of ma'icious policemen. The law will defeat itself if it works thus. Society will decline all part in such atrocities, and they must be guarded against from the first. A policeman who gets a quondam thief turned away from a place where be is honestly at work, ought to be hunted down as unmercifully as an obstinate habitual criminal. Carried out in this spirit the experiment may prosper ; but it is one which can only be exercised by a terrible necessity, and without the very wisest administration it will inevitably break down. The Standard finds it hard to say whether, in their management of the Scotch Education Bill, the Govern ment treats the I louse of Lords or the I louse of Commons with the greater contempt. Certainly there is no Tres ' thin on which the Government itself has shewn greater And feebleness of purpose. A measure which was tlititight teortby of mention in the Queen's Speech at the otiehibe bf the session has ever since been made the sport of accident, has been altered and realtered, printed and reprinted, till five separate bills have been laid before the two Houses, and at this moment, on the most important and vital questions of the bill, the Government have not made up their minds. The question will, no doubt, be asked what induces Ministers to urge or the bill with such hot haste now, after having trifled with it all the session through. The answer is, a compact with the Roman Catholics. The members of that body are naturally, and we must say properly, anxious that their children should run norisk of proselytism in the Scotch national schools. But instead of openly demanding that an exception should be made in their favour, they have made a secret compact with the Minister, by which it is provided that denominational— that is to say, Roman Catholic—schoolsshall continue to be aided by the State under this professedly • national system ; and they fear that in case of delay the same indul genee might not be so readily accorded them. The know ledge of this compact does not render the bill more palatable to those Scotch members who are in the secret. We need not say that it is not on such grounds we are opposed to the bill. We refer to it as the reason for the indecent haste with which the Ministers now urge on the measure, but object to it because of this indecent haste; hecau - se neither the Lords nor the Commons, nor the country at large, have had time to consider the measure. The Telegraph remarks that had the life of Lord Byron, the great poet, been prolonged to the not extravagant limit of fourscore years, he would have still been among ns four or five years ago. fie belonged to a later genera tion than the Lyndhursts, Romillys, Broughams, and Lnshingtons. Arthur Duke of Wellington had been before him in the world by many years—yet it was only in isso that the great duke died. Lord Byron friend Samuel Rogers was a far older man—yet scores of people now Icing have enjoyed Mr. Rogers's Sunday breakfasts. It was not to be. in the year 18 9 3 Byron breathed his last at Missolonghi. Forty and a few more years have clone their work. Byron is not forgotten - -bow can such a man be forgotten while the Eirslish ;am rage lasts? -but at least other poets have arisen whale verse appears to have that hold aeons the pablic which Byron's once possessed. Those of an older generation may think that Tennyson, Browning, Swi ll . 'mine, and others must write with different pens ere they can be named as rivals to the author of " Childe Harold," but younger men seem to be of another way of thinking. It is not, however, oor wish to-day to rush into mere lite rary criticism, lout rather to note it as a curious fact that the old ontroversy about the Byron family quarrel, which more than fifty years ago raged so hotly in London, has been revived. The actors and partisans in that great scandal case have all gone to their account. Lord Byron died in IS'23; Lady Byron not so very long si nce . " Ad a, " whose " future happittess " might have been gravely pre judiced• by the discussion, is gone too ; for her there is no snore pain or happa,ess in this world.

The journals continue to discuss and criticise the con stitutional reforms, the verdict being, on the whole, favourable. The Constitutionncl boasts that henceforth the good citizens of Paris will have no occasion to envy the parliamentary privileges of any constitutional monarchy. It denies categorically the several objections raised to the terms of the Senatus•Consultunn With respect to omission of any mention of the right of address in the decree, the Constitutionnel argues that it is a matter of indifference, as the Corps Ltislatif can under the form of the order of the day that follows the Imperial speech express its sentiments just as well as by means of an address. As for the question of Ministerial responsi bility, the Constitutionncl holds it to be finally settled. The Ministers, it is true, are exclusively dependent on the Emperor, but they are declared responsible ; and it is evident that this responsibilty can only refer to the Corps L4gislatif. Moreover, it must be a collective responsibility, since " the Ministers are to deliberate in council." Consequently, the Ministerial responsibility will be similar to that which exists under Constitutional Government. The veto which the Senate will have the right to put on the laws passed by the Lower Chamber is part of the rights and privileges which everywhere be long to an Upper Chamber, and in no way prevents the popular repress. ntatives fl cm carrying cut their wishes when they are sustained by public opinion. The LiLerti thinks that far too long an interval was suffered to elapse between the message of July 12th and the reading of the Senatus • Consultum in the Senate on August 2, and asks whether it took twelve days to string together the 'twelve articles of the decree. The Senate is blamed for equal tardiness, and instead of straining every nerve to hasten the rcport, the debate, and the vote so that all may be accomplished by the 15th of August, that body seems to have delayed as much as possible, so that the discussion will only open on the very eve of the Fête. The Libertg thinks it is of the first importance that the vote of the Senate should be taken before the Fete, so that the work may find its crown in an amnesty which, by opening the doors of the prisons for press offenders and for suspected con spirators, will inaugurate a new sea. The continued detention of MM. Conrnet and Quentin, of the Rcveil, excites great dissatisfaction, especially as M. Laferriere, the political friend and associate, had been set at liberty. In accordance with the pernicious system now in existence, these gentlemen, though they have been in prison for two months, are still in ignorance of their offence. I hear that the famous affair of the Belgian railways has given rise to attacks from Berlin on the Cabinet of the Hague, as well as on that of the Tuileries. M. Bismarck, who, it is said, has been busily endeavouring to excite an uneasy feeling towards France in Holland, has failed in his charitable enterprise. The Government of Holland declined to listen to his insinuations, and the relations between Berlin and the Hague have consequently become extremely cool. When King William was on the frontier the other day, the King of Holland failed to send him the usual complimentary message. It is said that the tribune of the Journalists and the Diplomatic Corps, and that of the Legislative Body, will be re-established in the Senate. It is said that M. Jules Pic so little expected that the recent trial would go against him that he wrote to the Minister of the Interior requesting an interview for the day succeeding that on which the trial was to terminate. He intended to send in his resig nation as counsellor, and to request a fresh election, declaring that he would he unanimously re-elected, Tnillefer, on the other hand, had for some time resigned himself to the fate which has befallen him, but he has, notwithstanding this, joined Pic in the appeal to the Court of Cassation. A trial which has just taken place has revealed some contempale conduct on the part of the officers in com mand of the vessel Abbatucci, which, your readers will remember, was run down a short time ago in the Mediter ranean, and a large number of lives lost. After the collision had taken place the mate took the only boat there was and went with the rest of the crew to the other vessel, abandoning the pas sengers to their fate. There were fifty-two in all, and among them were some women and children. It is satis factory to find that these cowards have been sentenced to different terms of imprisonment. _ _ A young man named Sala has just been tried for murder at Naples. The story of his crime is a strange one, for the persca he killed had long been his intimate friend, and they quarrelled in consequence of a misunder standing between their wives. Sala had been slightly wounded byhis companion, and at first took no notice; but be was only biding his time, and on the evening of the 2nd November last, meeting with the other, he plunged a knife seven times into his breast, killing him, at the seine time saying, "Now we are quits." The murderer took to flight, and vent to Egypt, but was arrested there, I.ronLbt back to Naples, and being tried, was condemned to death.

The police Lave just Leen successful in capturing a gang of card sharpers, who carried on theiroperations under the viaduct bridge of Auteuil. Information was given by some of their victims, and the whole party were taken into custody. INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE. PUTNEY, Aug. 5. The American crew are progressing favourably. Thoy were afloat at mid-day not in their own ship, but in that placed at their use by the London Itowing Club. They sat the boat as under : 1. Mr. S. Bass. 2. 3lr. Sylvester W. Rice. 3. Mr. W. 11. Simmons. 4. Mr. A. P. Loring (stroke). Mr. A. Burnham (cox). They rowed up on the flood from the London Boat house to near Chiswick, and pulled in exceedingly good time. It was remarked also that there wss a manifest iuiprovement in their pace. The boat seems to suit them now that they get used to her, and it is not at all probable that they will return to either of the boats which they have brought with them. SALISBURY ELECTION. -4.-- The polling at Salisbury commenced this morn ing, and at half-past twelvethe following votes:were polled : Seymour (Liberal) ... 00‘ 420 Ryder (Conservative) ... 418 Marsh (Liberal) ... ... SO The President left Washington, July 15, with his wife and children, Cadet F. D. Grant, U. S. Grant, jun., Jessie R. Grant, and Nellie D. Grant, Postmaster- General Cresswell and wife, and ex-Secretary of the Navy Borie, for Long Branch. They were to stop three hours at Fortress Monroe, and one day at Cape May. The Pre sident intended to be absent from the city ten days, or two weeks, at d will return, leaving his family at Long Branch. General Horace Porter, Private Secretary of the President, was to leave Washington next day to join him. Mr. Thomas Conolly, the well-known operative mason of London, will visit the United States to inquire into the position of the working men in America of all trades, wages, hours, and treatment; land and emigration questions, and every subject relating to the labouring classes. Ho is backed by several influential persons, and chosen as batter qualified, from his recognised position as a working man, to hold free intercourse with working men and for his intelligence. He will pass some months in the States. Governor Hayes, of Ohio, was major of the regiment of which Rosecrans was colonel, and the first night he ever slept under a tent was under the same tout with his present competitor for Governor. At a meeting of the Paddington Vestry yesterday a letter was read from Mr. Harvey Lewie, M.P., in which that gentleman refers to the cause of his absence from his parliamentary duties during the present session. Ho re minds his constituents of the compromise, under the sanc tion of the Master of the Rolls, that has terminated the litigation to which he alludes, and hopes "by God's bless ing" to be in his place when the House of Commons again assembles. ------ Major-General Sir W.

The report of the judge appointed to inquire into the alleged intimidation at the recent election at Nottingham, reporting that Mr. H. Seely was duly elected, was pre sented. HABITUAL CRIMINALS BILL. Mr. BRUCE moved that the house go into committee on this bill, the object of which was to endeavour to deter it possible habitual criminals from crime, and to remedy a state of things that called loudly for some change. The bill amongst other provisions gave the power of surveillance of the police, an arrangement that he thought would even tually be attended with:good results to society. The hoe gentleman then went into a variety of statistics to show the necessity of the bill, which he said he hoped the house would agree to pass through committee, as it was very desirable it should become law during the present session. Sir C. ADDERLEY moved that the bill be referred to a select committee, for the purpose of substituting a dis charged prisoners' aid society throughout the kingdom to which the supervision of the discharged criminals might. be entrusted instead of the police; of adding provisions for the infliction of corporal punishment during imprison-. ment for brutal assaults on policemen and others; and for carrying out the objects of the bill i 4 punishing forhabitual disorderly conduct and drunkenness. He would at once say that the object ho had in view by the motion he had put on the paper was to endeavour to get some of the too stringent penalties of the bill mediae°. lie thought it would be most advisable to take the super/ vision of criminals out of prison out of the hands of tbt, police. The result of which was that criminals discharge were looked upon by the police as their prey, and instead ci assisting the discharged prisoners in obtaining employ ment, the very reverse was the desire of the police, wh lost no opportunity of showing their activity b:. dragging the unfortunates back to prison. It we said that the bill would work well, but he eou: • not believe that punishment and education ever ()old work well together, becau se the first was medicine and tb,. latter food. He objected very strongly to the provision • of the bill that ren dered a wan convicted of two Ma . felonies subject to the surveillance of the police for save • w hi c h period the unfortunate creature woul f rom the visits of the police either nig' . or day, n y o ears, tb e daringfreeh over desirous he might be of gettin,! his living honestly. That he thought was ut the way to bring about a reformation. Then, agate.• it was set out, on the part of thb bill, that a third convie tion left the j edge no alteryativa but to inflict seven ye&r, penal servitude. Those acts he thought too severe, an , I that they would I reduce evil rather Than good. B. • could not see that there could b 9 any objection t.: the motion be made, because those guilty of brut.. assaults either of the police or women, ought, to be punished with the utmost severity. Mr. G. HARDY thought it was desirable tln,t the house should go into committee on the bill, which ho thought could be made a measure of the most efficient description. The house ultimately went into committee on the bill, and the principal clauses were agreed to without amend ments. THE APPROPRIATION BILL. This bill was read a third time.
