In Miscellaneous Securities Telegraph Shares in request at improved prices. The stun of £5,000 in gold was taken to the Bank on Saturday. The committee on tl 'egraphs Bill /resolved on Saturday that the standing :orders ought to be dispensed with, and that it should be permitted to proceed " on a clause being inserted securing to all existing telegraph companies, not having yet ar ranged with the Government, a right of arbitration (failing agreement) as to the value of their present rights ,and privileges." The bill is to be read a second time on Tuesday next at two o'clock. Although the Senate at Lisbon have agreed to the bill for the new Portuguese Loan, the details of the measure have yet to pass under their consider ation. The question as to the parties by whom it will be introduced in London seems still to be un decided. The report of the General Credit and Discount Company (Limited), to be presented on the 26th inst., announces a steady increase in the company's business and connections, and recommends the usual interim dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per an num. It adds as regards the claim of the company upon the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway there is now every prospect of a decision being ar rived at, but that the affair of the South-Eastern of Portugal Railway remains in an unsatisfactory posi tion, the Portuguese Government having, as was stated some months back, by an arbitrary act taken possession of the line, purposing to pay the railway company a sum of only about £528,000 for an expenditure (admitted and fixed by the Portuguese Ministry in October, 1867) of £1,212,518 of British capital, laid out for the ad vantage of Portugal, and in which no British capitalist would have engaged but for the reliance placed on the good faith of that country and on the large am )unt of direct assistance, by way of subvention or guarantees, which the Government covenanted to give to the enterprise. The report of the Metropolitan Bank (Limited), to be presented on the 15th instant, shows an available total of £12,161, including a previous balance of £5,842, and recommends a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, leaving £7,161 to be carried forward. The deports hell are £381,331, and the paid up capital is £200,000. In the abstract given yesterday of the report of the Alliance Bank it was stated that the deposits held show a decrease of £242,626 from the corres ponding date of last year. The amount should have been only £25,033. It has been agreed by the Australian and New Zealand Banks (with one exception) to adopt and apply in future the re-exchange of 10 per cent. on bills returned dishonoured from those colonies, in stead of 20 per cent., the rate fixed about 30 years ago, and which has long been looked upon as little more than nominal. A recommendation will con sequently be made by the next outward mail for all the colonial establishments to agree to a similar charge in respect to dishonoured bills returned from England. This alteration has become essential from the short and regular mail service, the use of tele graphy, the altered condition of banking under in crease competition, and the enlarged facilities for business. Indeed the rapidly extending commerce of this country, from the advantages of steam com munication with all parts of the world, seems to de mand that the question of re-exchange with other colonies and foreign countries should now undergo revision. There are 8 and 10 per cent. rates with the West Indies, 10 per cent. with the United States, and not less than 25 per cent. with the South American Republics. At a meeting on Saturday of the creditors of Messrs S. L. llalliwell and Brothers, of Manchester, a com Position of Os. in the pound was agreed to-3s. cash, 35. in six months, and the remaining 3s. twelve months.

Early in October, ladies and gentlemen, we shall return to London, and open this theatre with a new and original comedy written by Tom Taylor, who has achieved so many succeses on these boards ; and at Christmas Mr. Sothern will again appear in a new and original comedy written by Mr. Byron, and which comedy, if I am not mistaken, will run, if not for the whole season, at least for the greater part of it. (Cheers.) Dr. Westland Marston is also at work for this house, and with other attractions that I have in view, I still hope to merit your patronage. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I respectfully bid you fare well until October, and in the name of my company thank you for the good opinion you have always expressed of their abilities ; and as I know we shall all carry with us your good wishes, I can only in return wish you health, happiness, and prosperity, and say, for a short time, Good bye. (Cheers and waving of handkerchiefs, which con tinued for some minutes.) Mr. Buckstone's farce, " A Dead Shot," with the jun. B. as Hector Timid, sent the audience laugh ing home.

Account, August 5 French Routes, 3 per 03nt., Ex. 2M. — On Saturday evening the universally esteemed and great popular favourite, Mr. Buckstone, took his benefit, and his host of admirers as usual availed themselves of the opportunity of making the closing night one of the most brilliant of the sea son. For sixteen years the theatre has been under the management of Mr. Buckstone, and during the whole of that long period, by his undeviating alle giance to the legitimate drama, he has not only brought each of his seasons to a successful close, but has increased ;the reputation of his theatre, which now stands unapproached for the production and representation of English comedy. The enter tainments cJnameneed with a revival of Peake's comedy, " The flaunted Inn," Miss Bateman's new drama, " Mary Warner," the lessee's annual ad dress, and the capital farce, " A Dead Shot." The reception given by Mr. Buckstone when he came forward to deliver his address was enthu thusiastic, and when the cheering subsided he spoke as follows: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,—As I am now in the 17th year of my management of this theatre, and delivered as many addresses as there have been years of my lesseoship, I begin to feel at a loss what to say on these occasions , except to refer to the p as t an d anticip a t e the future. At the termination of last season I stated that the theatre would be thoroughly repaired and decorated. This you will see has been done, and I hope to your satisfaction and that of the proprietors. (Cheers. I also stated that Miss Bateman would commence the present season with her famous impersonation of Leah. The promise was ful filled, and with such success that the play ran from Octo ber till Christmas, varied only by the production, for a few nights, of Dr. Mosenthal's "Pietra." (Cheers.) I also promised that Mr. Sothern would return at Christmas, which ho did, producing shortly after that time Mr. Robertson's promised comedy of " Home," and which was performed for one hundred and thirty-three nights. (Cheers.) On Mr. Sothorn's departure for the East, not to Egypt on a visit to the VicJroy, but to Shoreditch, on a visit to one Douglass (laughter)—Miss Bateman again appeared before you in the new play of " Mary Warner," sustaiuiug a character which will rank with her popular " Leah"—(eheers)— and as that lady shortly departs for America, I mu sure you will all wish her a safe and speedy passage, more especially as at an early period she intends to return, and I hope to this theatre. Thus, ladies and gentlemen, you will acknowledge that all my promises have not been made of the proverbial pie crust, and that none of them have been broken, not even the promise that presented itself to me of a prosprous season, which I assure you has been a pleasant fact, and that I hope to see again accomplished next year— (cheere)—but only with the aid of the legitimate perform ances of this house, in comedy, drama, and farce, without any attempt at unnecessary glitter, nor even with the allurement of the ballet, as the Lord Chamberlain's circu lar so alarmed me that I shall rarely venture on the at ractions of short skirts again. (Laughter.) Whether other managers will follow my moral example—l cannot say—l am afraid not. Since I last addressed you three new theatres have been built, and I believe successfully opened. How many more are to spring up I do not know; but, however numerous they may become, I feel assured that the little theatre in the Haymarket, as it has been affectionately called since the days of Foote, will be the last to suffer from any com petition whatever. We are an old-established house, bearing a good character, and I hope occupied by a re spectable tenant. (Much cheering.) With regard to the f uture, ladies and gentlemen, although our season terminates this evening, the theatre will remain open for a short time, as a supplementary one will be com menced under the auspices of Alias Amy Sedgwick, and which will be continued by Mr. Humphrey Barnett until the return of the Haymarket company in October. (Cheers.) But you must not suppose that we intend to remain idle, as we appear at the Theatres Royal, Liverpool, on Monday next; thence to Manchester, Bradford, Newcastle-upon- Tyne, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. You will thug see that laziness is not one of the faults of this company, or of its manager; indeed, I think with respect to that personage, you may say with Dr. Watts, "How doth the busy little B improve each shining hour." (Laughter and applause.) As I have been before you, ladies and gentlemen, so many years, I begin to fear that you will grow tired of my face. (No, no.) Many people, I know, are not over fond of new faces, yet whenever I may find talent worthy of your acceptance I shall not hesitate to present it to you. But whether you may grow tired of my old face or not, while I continue here I shall always endeavour, under any circumstances to put the best face on the matter. (Laughter and appla usu.)

The crisis—for even the Imperialists admit that there is a crisis—still continues, and as yet there is no solution. The Chamber was not constituted for business yesterday ; but it is finally arranged that the election of secretaries shall take place to-morrow, so that the determination of the Emperor will probably soon be made known. There is much talk to-day of change in the Ministry ; but the preponderance of rumour is at present in favour of M. Rouher retaining at least some share in the Government, and this will neither please the country nor settle the question. If the status quo is to be altered at all, the shelving of M. Rouher is indispensable. Some of the papers, I see, are prophesying that the Imperialists who have joined the noble Cent-seize, the band _ of 116, will be persuaded by the Emperor to withdraw their signatures, and the demand for Ministerial respon sibility will be rejected in toto. The rejection is possible, and not improbable ; but the deputies who have already signed cannot well withdraw now. Moreover, I am assured by the leaders of the Reform party that the great majority of, if not all, the 116 will remain faithful. It may be as well to point out what are the exact im mediate changes in the constitution and government which will be required if the Emperor resolves to give way to the demand of the Moderate Liberals. Three articles of -the Constitution, the sth, 13th, and the 44th, will have to be altered. The sth Article provides that "The President of the Republic (the Emperor) is responsible before the French people, to whom he has right of appealing." The first part of this must be struck out, and the article will thei provide only that the Emperor has the right of ap peal to the people. The 13th Article stipulates that the Ministers are dependent only upon the Chief of the State, there is no "solidarity" amongst them—that is, they do not stand or fall together, as the English Ministry gene rally does ; each is answerable only for the doings in his own department. This article will be altered so as to read simply that the Ministers are responsible. Article 44 provides that Ministers cannot be members of the Corps LSgislatif. This must be changed so as to admit the Ministers to be members both of the Corps IZgislatif and of the Senate, besides providing that they must seek re election when nominated to office. Such are,the demands of the Left Centre as formulated by the Libellee, and they may be taken to represent the policy of the new party. Their effect will be simply that whereas now the Corps Legislatif cannot discuss the Con stitution, cannot pass a vote of censure on the Ministry, and cannot exercise any direct contra over the acts of the Administration, it will, if the programme of the Moderate Liberals be taken, have the power to do all these things. In short, though the Emperor will still reign, the Empire will be at an end. The more the situation is considered the more completely astonishing does it seem that such a crisis as this should have been brought about in so short a ...., time. The position the Moderate Reformers have taken up has been most judiciously selected, and managed with admirable tact. They might readily have chosen a pro gramme which the Emperor could have accepted more easily, but such a course would have been perfectly useless. If the form of government is to be changed, it is only a considerable change that tan be of any avail. Whether the present system be beneficial or injurious, it is clear that the abolition of personal government is the only course by which it can be sensibly modified. It is much to be desired that the Emperor would come to a decision at once, for, in the present state of uncer tainty, the attitude of the Corps L€gislatif is becoming really alarming. For several days past an entire sits:_e g has been devoted to the validation of two or three elec tions which were not seriously contested. What will be the case when the disputed returns—not one of which has yet been considered—come on for hearing? Thursday's sitting, as I mentioned, was stormy, but Fri day's was much more so. Three distinct uproars took place. First, there was the Guyot-Montpayroux row. M. Rouher, the day before, spoke of the necessity of raising a barrier against revolution, and the Marquis de Pir4 turned towards the Left with menacing gestures. M. ' Guyot Montpayroux said that the language of M. Rouher was of a kind which "we"—the Left —would not tolerate. The President told him that to say he would not tolerate this or that was improper. The excited deputy retorted that he expressed the sentiments of 20,000 free citizens, and that he would not be termed a revolutionist. Using rather warm language the President asked him to be moderate in his terms; but M. Guyot Montpayroux would not be moderate, and finally M. Garnier-Pae'.2 created a tremendous storm by declaring that he gloried in the revolutions of 'B9, '3O, and '4B, Order was at length restored, and the Chamber got to business,but only to pre cipitate itself in another row, brought about by M. Ferry, the Red, declaring that all the elections of official candidates were null and void, and that the system, instead of being universal suffrage, was only hypocrisy. Row number three was owing to M. Pelletan, who, in reply to a remark that the general election had sanctioned the coup d'etat, said that the coup d'etat was a crime. The Chamber from the beginning to the end of the sitting resembled a bear garden. Yesterday was moderately quiet, the sitting, which was a very long one, being devoted to a constitu tional discussion, the result of which was that it has been resolved to constitute the House to-morrow. The Emperor is said to have made an important speech at the grand dinner at St. Cloud the other day, His Majesty, after listening to some observations from M. Buffet (close to whom were 111. Brame, M. de Saint-Paul, and M. Louvet), replied in substance that the Government would not be found to persist in the :Wu quo, but that it could not follow to the utmost limits the iniative of the Constitu tional Liberal party. He added, "I am firmly convinced that if I had ever to consult the nation, I should still have for me six millions of votes." AGRICULTU.RAL NOTES. The Yorkshire Post gives a lengthened report of the pre sent condition and appearance of the crops, gathered from tho accounts of some fifty correspondents. Many of these are resident in Yorkshire, and they are tolerably unanimous In their verdict on the wheat, which they describe as back ward, irregular, and below the average. Oats, beans, and swede turnips promise well. Clover and meadows are good, and the promise of winter supply of fodder for the cattle most satisfactory. The harvest throughout Yorkshire is expected to begin about the second week in August. From Cumberland and Durham the accounts are more encouraging.' In the former county agriculture is said to be imps oving steadily, and the application of permanent artificial manures makes the farmer less de pendent on the weather than formerly. In Cheshire the wheat crop is said to look promising, but the barley is under the average. The oats, too, want warm weather. Winter beans in many places promise a luxuriant crop. The cold north-east winds are complained of in several quarters. Potatoes aro generally favourably spoken of, but there are rumours of disease in parts of Gloucester, and it has been stated that the disease has actually made its appearance in the neighbourhood of Devizes. In Hereford and Mon mouth the fine weather of the last few days has produced beneficial effects, but in Kent and Hampshire matters are not so favourable. A farmer, of Wingham, Kent, reports that on the sands, gravels, and chalks there is not an average crop, but the wheats promise the best. Hay and grass are abundant. All accounts agree in anticipating a late harvest, but most per sons think it probable that two or thr, e weeks of warm, fine weather, will greatly improve matters. The plentiful supply of hay and winter fodder is likely to compensate in some degree fur Other deficiencies. The Duchess of Alencon, th© daughter-iu law of the Duko of Nemours, gave birth to a so❑ on hidny at Bushy Palace. The Duchess is the sister of tha Empress of Austria and the ex-Queen of Naples.

SlP,—There will be plenty of sport this week. The Nottingham meeting will be celebrated on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Nottinghamshire Handicap has secured sixteen acceptances, and the horses beat in arc Ligurian, Tornado, Mexico, and Stork.

Several fast horses have been nominated for the Bradgate Plate, amongst them Stoll:, Harebell, .4 - EiluF , , Veda, and Clario vette. if reserve] for thi3 event, Stock can barely be defeated. For the Stand Plate Prince Imperial, Riga, Problem, and Flying Jib, have not been overweighted ; and if Prince Imperial cin defeat Problem, Captain Machell's speedy colt may be hailed the winner.

The first execution was to Mr. Solomon for £3,000; the next by Messrs Beyfus for £9,000 and upwards ; and the other executions would take, if any was left.

He looked upon the bill as a direot and complete innovation of the Coronation Oath, and b.).- fore the bill passed its third reading it was most important that some authentic statement should be given to the country why it was necessary to call upon her Majesty to do that which must be most repugnant. [LEFT SPEAKING. .1 HOUSE OF COMINIONS.—Thrs DAT. The SPEAZER took the chair at four o'clock. THE POLICE FORCE. Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Sheridan, said that some of the police engaged in the Houses of Parliament received an extra shilling a day, their duties being of a very respon sible nature. There were 37 officers engaged, 15 of which received the extra shilling, but the cost of the police for watching the house of Parliament was far in excess of that allowed by the house for duty, so that the remainder had to be paid out of the ordinary police rate. The amount allowed was .£429, but the actual cost was .£3,53 1, leaving £3,000 to be taken from the poor rate. The mon when unfit through illness for duty were in exactly Vie same position as other members of the force. THE ACCIDENT AT CARNARNON. Mr. BRUCE said the lamentable accident at Carnarvont, caused by nitro-glycerine, showed that some additional precaution was urgently necessary, and without it could be carried into effect the carriage of nitro-glycerine oug!lt to to altogether abolished. 1 _ THE SUEZ CANAL, Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. Gourlay, said the 6th , article of the Convention f or th e construction of the Suez 1 Canal was still in force; by it equal privileges were given to all nations. THE RIOTS AT PORTADOWN. Mr. C. FORTESCUE, in reply to Sir T. Batoson, said that Mr. Noonan had been a sub-inspector of police for two years, and was an officer of ability and discretion. It was certainly nit the intention to remove that officer to any other part of the country during the time the inquiry at Portadown remained open. THE REGISTRATIONS. Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Barclay, said it was i,i tended to employ as many revising barristers as last year. That occasion m as purely exceptional. THE FRENCH TREATY. Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. Herman, said no com munication had taken place with the French Government relative to the duty of English cotton manufacture. SUPPLY. On the motion for the house going into Committee of Supply, Mr. GOLDNEY called the attention of the house to sums granted for the purchase of the site for the new public offices, and to the proposed expenditure for a new Home Office, and asked if there would be any objection to lay a copy of the plan of the land purchased, and the amount of the purchase money, upon the table of tl.• house. Mr. LAYARD said ho should have no objection to pro duce the information required, so far as it was possibl./. A great part of the information had, however, already been made public. _ ILEFT SITTING.
