There were again no gold operations at the Bank yesterday. The transactions of the week since the last return have comprised upon balance an inaux of £194,000. It was state .1 that the contract for the new Turkish Loan with the Societe Generale, the Im perial Ottoman Bank, ant others has been signed. The next amount is expected to be for 10 or 12 tuillions sterli3g. The official liquidator of the Portsmouth, Port sea, Gosport, and South Hants Banking Company has announced a sixth dividend to the creditors of that company at the rate of ls. 61 in the pound (m aking, with previous dividends, 19s. in the Pound). A Shareholder asks why the dividend on the Metropolitan Railway of only 71 miles is not made known as soon as the dividends of other lines of 100 or 200 times its magnitude? The answer is understood to be that the accounts on this occasion ate ilas—Sln gthrOUghentirely new hands, the audi tors having been authorized to seek the aid of Alesrs. Turquand, Youngs, and Co., by whom extra time is of course required fur an elaborate investigation such as is now to be completed. The tas k is believed to be nearly finished, and the an nouncement of the dividend to be proposed is ex pected early next week. The bill f or guaranteeing a Canadian Loan of £300,000 for the purchase of Rupert's Loan from the H udson's Bay Company stipulates that the rate sinki ng of interest must not exceed 4 per cent., and that a fund shall be con.tituted of 1 per cent. The Government of Can a d a are to undertake to rem it lthe 5 per cent, per annum which will thus be re uircd to four trustees, two to be named by the Treasury and two by f Canada, and the investment 3 , the sinki e ng fund is to b e ma d e i n suc h mliner as I ti ll time t o t i me Treasu ry and the Canadian Government may r°l Imediately after agree up on .

The political world finds itself compelled to exercise the virtue of patience, for the work of the commission on the Senatus-Consultum proceeds very slowly. If rumour is to be believed, more disputed points have as yet been adjourned than disposed of. Even the appointment of the reporter is still undecided. It was expected that he would be nominated yesterday, and, as I informed you, the election of M. Delangle was confidently anticipated. To-day it appears that 117. Delangle has - declined to be put in nomination, owing to the state of his health. He suffers from an acute affection of one of his eyes, which would effectually prevent him from filling the office. The choice of the Liberal members of the commission is conse quently circumscribed, and M. de Manpaa.is talked of. The list of presidents, vice-presidents, and secretaries of the Conseils GoWra.ux, has been published, and differs little from that of last year. The presidents are almost all senators, deputies of the majority, or magistrates. With few exceptions they belong to the class of the up holders of personal government. The Libertg fears that under these circumstances the discussion is not likely to be more free this year than in the preceding sessions, and expresses a hope that this is the last time that the Conseils Gdndraux are nominated by an Imperial decree. The appointment of Emile de Girardin as President of the Conseil Ge'lnlral du Var is the most noticeable feature in this list, and seems to indicate an improved understand ing between the Government and the former deputy of the Seine. However, the well-known journalist renews his attack upon the Ministerial measure in this morning's Liberte, and prefers a plebiscitum to a senatus-Consultum, a new constitution to an attempted reform. A plebis citum, says M. de Girardin, would have been the whole sale reconstruction of the Constitution ; the Senatus- Consultuni is its destruction in detail. M. de Girardin finds it impossible to understand why the Emperor should attach so much importance to his personal responsibility to the people. That he should retain the right of a direct appeal is just and reasonable ; but to entrench himself behind the word " responsibility" is neither to gain strength for himself nor to give a guarantee to the nation. It is necessary to choose between the Charter of 1830 and the Constitution of 1852. If the Ministers are to be constitutionally responsible, the head of the State may be so in a revolutionary sense but not in a constitu tional one. M. de Girardin concludes his article by asking what is the use of a prolonged discussion on the Senatus- Consultum? Would it not be as well to vote it by accla mation as the Senate voted the substitution of the Empire for the Republic? At present the commission . are not inclined to take this hint. The y are proceedulg very leisurely, and yesterday held a discussion on two impor tant points—the rights of interpellation , and of amend ment. Hitherto the Council of State played an important part in regard to amendments. Under the new system it will only have a consultative function, and even this office is begrudged to it by some members of the Commission. M. Bonjean intends to introduce an amendment giving to the Senate the right of initiative already granted by the Ist article to the Emperor and to the Corps Legislatif. This amendment, I hear, has no chance of being accepted by the Commission. La France has ventured on a timorous defence of the con duct of the Government with regard to the prolonged deten tion of MM. Quentin and Cournet, of the Blveil, a deten tion which, as I have already informed you, is exciting great indignation. M. de Laferriere, the lawyer, who was arrested at the same time as the two journalists, was released the next day, owing to the exertions of members of his profession. Writers in the press are not, unluckily, able to release their fellows, but they are revenging their order on the Government by asking what sort of a con spiracy is that which requires two months to prove its existence. The National remarks that the case of the miners of Saint Etienne, which was one of the most considerable ever tried in France, from the number of the accused and the length of the sittings, has been completed in a month, though 1,200 documents were deposited and there were 120 witnesses. Meanwhile M. Quentin remains at Mazas for two months, without the legal authorities finding it possible to interrogate him. It is supposed that the Emperor and the Empress will leave to-morrow for Chalons, in order to pass the fete in the midst of the camp. The Emperor is evidently desirous of retaining his popularity with the army. The health of Marshal Niel gives rise to the greatest anxiety, and the deepest interest has been felt in his state. His recovery is not despaired of, but an unfavourable impression prevails concerning him. The insecurity of velocipede travelling was illustrated the other day by a curious incident. A clerk of a banking establishment, having to go a long way, took a velocipede, and went swiftly about collecting money in all directions. All at once he made a wrong movement, and came suddenly to the ground, the pieces of money rolling about the pavement. The passers-by collected some of the scattered coins, which were put under the care of a commissary of police. The unfortunate young man broke his leg and was taken to the hospital. Madame Rossini refused to give to the Conservatoire de Musique at Paris the bust in terracotta of her late husband, but she has parted with it tp_M. Taffoli. The present is said to have been made in consequence of a promise given by her to allow M. Taffoli to select some work of art belonging to the great composer, and his 'ihoice fell on the bust in question. Yesterday the ceremony of opening the Exhibition of the Central Union took place at the Champs ElysZes, and the crowd was very great. The success of the affair was undoubted, and great skill and taste were displayed in the arrangements. The Exhibition contains the most rare collection of ancient pictures that has been seen in Paris. The condemned miners of the Loire district have addressed a petition to the Emperor soliciting pardon. It has been taken to Paris by M. Cuisson, the counsel. A sad case which occurred the other eay proved the danger of going under trees in storms. During a violent storm at Biesheim (Haut-Rhin) two persons, N. Trouil let, a farme r , an d an old woman, being overtaken by the rain, sought shelter under a poplar, and were both killed by the lightning. The electric fluid struck M. Trouillet first on the forehead and pmsed out at the back of the neck, re-entered the body under the shoulder-blade, and escaped thorough the chest, having perforated the heart. No marks were found on the other body. THE MN, LONISON; SHARE LIST. ORDINARY BRAl tlia AND STOCKS. Paid. Closing Business Share Railways.

The Buenos Ayres Standard says Lopez was still in the mountains with a small force of i, fautry and cavalry, and some twenty to thirty light field p'eces. His people are not at all short of provisions, as was represented, but are ill-supplied with arms and ammunition. They made an attempt to blow up a train full of Argentine troops by putting a tor pedo on the railway track, but it exploded without injury. The Minister Paranbos and the Paraguayan Commissioners left on the 27th June for Asuncion, arriving there on the 3d of July, with a view of establishing a provisional Government. The revolution in the Banda Oriental is at an end. General M'Mahon took leave of Lopez on the 24th June, and was accompanied to the advanced posts by Lopez's son and a Paraguayan escort. The lion. Mr. ►'v r orthington presented his letters of recall, and the Hon. Mr. Kirk was received in the usual style by President Sarmiento as the new American Minister.

Hides—Sales since departure of last mail of ox and cow 25,000, at 36 to 36i rls. for ox of 641bs. weight, and 34 rls. for cows of 59 lbs. weight.

Sales of first-class Mestiza wool have been made at $32, but in face of disastrous accounts of the Antwerp auction just to hand there are only buyers at $25. Freights remain steady at former rates. Sp.xie continues to leave by the different steamers, hut not so largely as expected. Exchange—About £6,000 passed for French mail, at 49d. on London, and sf. 12c. on Paris. MONTE VIDEO, July 9. General M'Mahon, American Minister to Para guay, has come down from Lopez's camp. The Allies are making little progress, but are preparing for an attack on the Paraguayan fortified camp.

SCHOOL EXCURSION AND TREAT.—On Tuesday about 600 of the children and friends of the Northern Schools of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, accompanied by their clergy and teachers, marched from the schools in Castle street, Long-acre, to Victoria Station, where a train was in attendance to convey them to Cater ham Junction; and thence the procession wended its way through fields and lanes to those charming Surrey hills, called Purley Downs. A variety of amuse ments, and a substantial dinner and tea, were provided by the liberality of the parishioners and other friends, and in the evening fire balloons and a display of fireworks terminated the day's enjoyments. The children returned to their homes, grateful to their benefactors who had enabled them to spend a very happy day. Yesterday a new Catholic church was opened at at Barking, in Essex, by Archbishop Manning. The church has been chiefly built through the munificence of Miss Tasker. The building, which is simple and appro priate, is from the design of Mr. Welby Pugin. The Daily News gives a deplorable account of a new bug introduced into France by the troops which re turned from Mexico. This insect has bitten itself into notice, and to the startled imagination of the French it appears with a tail an inch long. The trial of Yerger before the military commis sion at Jackson, Mississippi, was concluded on Thursday, July 22, but the verdict had not been given. After the trial was concluded Yerger was brought before Judge Hill, of the United States Circuit Court, on a writ of habeas corpus. Judge William Yerger, on behalf of the prisoner, submitted the plea, to which Judge-Advocate Col. Thos. F. Barr submitted the return, and Yerger was remanded to military custody, the points involved having heretofore been passed upon by Judge Hill with the same result. The case will next be argued in the Supreme Court. The Cincinnati Tina's says, Secretary Fish " will find it as difficult to preserve a strict neutrality in the Cuban business as he would to balance a live eel on the top of his venerable proboscis." The widow of the late Henry J.

To-day Mr. William Wright, of 16, York-street, atttnled again with his solicitor, before Sir T. Henry. It will be recollected that on the la-A occasion the counsel for the prosecution, and that of the defendant for some time were unable to agree upon the terms of the spcial case which it was proposed to take to the Court of Queen's Bench, questioning the validity of the flue of £lOO which Sir T. Henry had inflicted on Mr. Wright for infringing the Acr. This morning the case, as finally agreed between all parties, was submitted to the chief magistrate, and, meeting with his approval, he signed the docu ment. The " ca , e" raises the whole question with re spect to the keeping of commission agencies, &c., but it cannot be argued at Westminster before November next, THE Duo TAx.—James Scouse, a dog dealer in Bethnal-green, was summoned for keeping seven dogs, for which he had failed to take out a license. The Supervisor said he went to the defendant's premises on the 25th of June, and found seven dogs for which he bad no license. Ile told him he had made himself liable to a fine, to which defend ant replied that he was aware of that, but he wished there was a dog dealers' license, and then they would know what they had to pay. Defendant—The dogs were not all mine ; some had only been sent to me to be washed. Sir T. lieury—But you told the officer the dogs all belonged to you. Defendant—`Well, I have recollected since. Sir T. Henry—l can come to no other conclusion than that all the dogs belonged to you, but I shall only on the present occasion fine you £2 10s. Mr. Nesbitt, a tradesinaii, was also summoned for having an unlicensed dog in his possession. The defendant said it was quite true he had not paid the license on the 9th of June, but he did on the 14th, and the animal was destroyed a week or so after. The Magistrate said he must inflict a mitigated fine. The Defendant—Why, the dog was only a puppy—(laughter)—and I only had had it three weeks. The Magistrate said he had no alternative, and fined the defendant 255. THAMES. LIVING OVER A.

Ou a bunch of keys found in Birch's romn there was one which fitted the lock of the prosecutor's box, in which he had deposited his nimey. When William Birch was apprehended by James Toultnin, a detective, ha said " I expected this," and ho said to his lan Ilady, "if you can lay your heads together, and make this up, it will be the better for you." He said to the prosLcutur, " It's no harm to rub you, for you rob your intster." Mrs. Windsor, landlady of the house, No. 14, Lucas-street, was in bed a few mornings since, and heard something thrown out of Birch's room into the yard. She previously heard the voice of Sutton in the yard, and,call out, "Throw it out, Bill; it's all right." Sutton picked up the parcel, and went away.

Mr. Arnold said, after what ho had heard he should discharge the prisoner, but ho must not annoy his wife. INTERNATIONAL- BOAT RACE. PUTNEY, Thursday. The Oxford crew did not go out this morning in their cutter, but, under the mentorship of Mr. G. Morrison, had their practice in pair-oared gigs. Their debut yesterday afternoon has created the most favourable impression, and good judges here declare they so near approach perfection that there is but little more to acquire, and that another fortnight will make them the most finished crew that ever appeared upon English waters. The Harvard crew went out shortly after 11 to row up to Chiswick against the ebb and returned down it. They exhibit on every occasion some amount of improvement, and the weather this morning suited them admirably, there being no wind, and a very fine tide down, which enabled them to row at a great plc°. Their style is be coming better, and in fine weather they close their oars. Hitherto they have had no steamer accompanying them— no " coaching," but now they have a small screw lent them by a Cambridge gentleman. The following are the crews, with their present weights, with which our reporter has just been favoured:-- HARVARD. St lb OXFORD. St lb 1. Fay ll 0 l. Wellan 2. Lymsn 3. Simmons 4. Loring Burham (cox.) ... 8 0 Hall (cox.) No steamboats will be allowed to accompany this race. The day is not definitely fixed ; the 25th is expected.

The New York coirespoudent of the Chicago Journal tells of a man in the Brooklyn Navy Yard who has for many years done the work and drawn the pay of a ma chinist, who has yet found time during all this while to gratify a yearning thirst for knowledge. It may be sur prising, yet it is nevertheless true, that ho has mastered the French, German, and Italian tongues, made himself partially acquainted with Hebrew, and obtained a tho rough knowledge of botany and geology. He has con tinued to work on from day to day at the Navy Yard bench, spending all his nights and nouns iu stuly, and husbanding all his earnings to purchase books, of which he has a library of nearly eleven hundred volumes ; and now he is suddenly promoted to a prominent public position.

The following appeared in our Latest Edition of yesterday evening:— An accident, attended with the deaths of three persons, occurred to-day on the Thames, a little below the Custom House. The Alice, one of the steam tugs of Messrs. Oylett, lightermen, brought three barges up with their freights to Brewer's Quay, moored off that spot, the captain, with a boy who acted as stoker, remaining on board. At nine o'clock a tremendous explo sion took place on board the tug-boat, scattering in all directions fragments of the boiler and of the boat. The head of the unfortunate stoker was thrown h Ilf-way across the river. The captain was also killed. The greater portion of the boiler, with a part of the funnel, was thrown up the river, and fell into the water near Bilingsgat.3. The Rotterdam screw steamer, the Hollandia, lying out iu the river, received a perf,ct hailstorm of these missiles. A fragment of iron struck one of the Dutch sailors on the head, cutting his forehead open and fracturing his skull. He was removed to Guy's Hospital, where he very shortly afterwads died. The remains of the tug sank immediately, and in five minutes after the explosion not a trace of it was to be seen.
