Bank shares are scarcely so firm, and the deal ings are very limited. London and Westminster and Oriental are each 10s. lower, the former being quoted at 61 to 62, at the latter at 401 to 411. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon bills generally were in demand, and the rates a shade lower than those by last post. The sum of £28,000 in gold was taken to the Bank yesterday. It is understood that the National Bank have signed an arrangement for the settlement of the affairs of Charles Laffitte and Co. (Limited), and that all the parties thoroughly conversant with the case are satisfied that Mr. Harvey Lewis and Mr. Henshaw will be found in every stage of it to have acted with perfect good faith, and to have been among the chief sufferers by the deceptions con nected with it. Advices from Lima, via New York, confirm the fact of Peru having granted belligerent rights to the Cuban insurgents. Ad - vices from Honduras, also via New York, state that Mr. Robert Fitz Roy has completed his survey of the Honduras Interoceanic Railroad, and that from his report it appears the total cost of constructing► the line, 240 miles in length, will be $1,885,413. The steamer Peruvian has arrived from Quebec with a small parcel of specie, value £260, and the Ville de Paris, of the Transatlantic line, has reached Brest from New York, with £40,000 in specie. At the meeting of the Atlantic and Great Western bond and debenture holders, after lengthened explanations by the chairman as to the state of the company and the position in which it has been placed by the Erie Directors, a committee was appointed representing all classes of the holders of its s!curities to take such steps as might be thought advisable for the protection and settlement of their claims. A plan was proposed and agreei to in substitution of that initiated by Mr. Lucas. The report of the Imperial Ottoman Bank re commends a dividend of 15s. per share, making with the previous distribution 12i per cent. for the year 1868, and leaving £7,952 to ba carried forward. Mexican advices to the 26th of May state that telegraphic communication across Mexico, via the capital, was complete from the Atlantic to the Pacific. A conducta with £600,000 in gold was said to be on the way from the capital to Vera Cruz. The traffic of the Metropolitan Railway shows an increase of £2,769. In the case of the Metropolitan and St. John's Wood Railway the increase is £Bl. The traffic receipts of the Metropolitan District Railway represent £836. The return of the Lon don, Brighton, and South Coast Railway shows a decrease of £1,680. The traffic of the Great Luxemburg Railway exhibits an increase of £2,411. The Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company are informed by their agent in Tasmauil, per telegram, via Galle, dated the 14th inst., that their submarine telegraph cable between Tasmania and Victoria was successfully laid from their ship Investigator on the Ist ult., and that the electrical tests and working conditions are highly satis factory.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT GARDEN.—HIS Imperial Highness the Viceroy of Egypt, accompanied by Nubar Pasha, Mustapba Boy, Abdul Ka , ler Bey, Ratip Bey, Lord Alfred Paget, Sir John Cowell, Colonel Staun ton, and Colonel Cavendish, honoured the Royal Italian Opera with his presence last evening. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7his Day. MARLBOROUGH,STREET. - BETTING HOUSES AND THE POLlCE.—Thomas Haw kins, tobacconist, of No. 268 a, Oxford-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with keeping and using his house as a betting-house, contrary to the 16th and 17th Vict. cap. 119, and Robert Scott, shirt-maker, of No. 15, North Audley-street., was charged with being in the house. Mr. Thomas Beard appeared for the defence. Superintendent Dunlop, of the C division, having pro duced the warrant of the Commissioners of Police to enter the house of Hawkins, said that on approaching the house last night he saw Hawkins and Scott leaving. He told them that he was a superintendent of police, and that they must return tc, the house with him, and they did so, Haw kins handing Scott a letter from Newmarket, relating to horses which bad left there, and which Hawkins said ho had received from a friend. He then told Hawkins and Scott that they must consider themselves in custody, and directed the officers within to search the place ; and they did so, and the prisoners were taken to the station. Inspector Morgan said that in a small box behind the door in the shop parlour he found a subscription card of the Beaufort Club, in the house of Thomas Hawkins up stairs a card of the same club, in the house of Wilson some telegraphic message receipts, a memorandum book with " Newmarket Craven" in it, and one memoranda re lating to telegraphic messages from Newmarket. Police-sergeant Todman, C Division, proved finding a card relating to the Marylebone Club, but there appeared to be nothing in it relating to betting. Police-constable Butcher, 137 0, proved going to Haw kins's shop with another man and asking the price of Bri gantine for the gold Cup at Ascot, and on being told that it was Gs. to 45., backing it, and paying the money—two sums of ss. each—in a public-house next door; the bets being made in the name of Brown. Brigantine WOll, and the next day they went and backed Romping Girl for the Alexandra Plate after settling the previous bet, and Claw. kins entered the bets in a book similar to those used by betting men. . _ --- - Wm. Boyle, 77 X, proved going to Hawkins's shop and asking the price of Brigantine, and afterwards stopping out of the shop on to the pavement and backing it, and Edward Stillmtn, a young man, also proved backing Brigantine with Hawkins. Mr. Beard contended that there was no case against the prisaner, that CaS3 being one of the weakest description. It was not sufficient because a tradesman indulged in a little betting that he was to be preceded against under a stringent act of Parliament and charged with keeping a betting-house. Ho considered that the present was unlike some of the cases uhich had lately been brought forward, where the police found all the appliances for betting, and that before the police took these proc. , edings they ought to have satisfied themselves there was sufficient evi dence to Euppot t the charge. Mr. Tyrwbitt said he would take time to consider the evidence before giving his decision as far as Hawkins was concerned, but Scott would be discharged. THAMES. CHARGE OF STEALING A BOILER. —Henry Hassuk, a metal dea'.er and brassfounder, of No. 1, Tooks-place, West Ferry-road, Poplar, and who was also stated to be deputy-chairman of the E 'stern Music-hall, was brought before Mr. Benson, on remand, charged with feloniously receiving,well knowing to be stolen, a largo copper boiler the property of Mr. Edwin Wright, a rope-maker, in Poplar. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended the prisoner. Tho prosecutor stated that the copper boiler stolen from his yard was said to be worth £l5, on the first investiga tion its actual value was £25. It was in his yard when stolen, and Mr. Richard Bray, foreman to Mr. Wright, said the copper boiler was stolen on Saturday the 12th instant, and he gave information to the police. He sub sequently traced the copper to the promises of the prisoner. The prisoner declined to give any information about his possession of the copper boiler, and said it is a matter of indifference to you how 1 became possessed of the boiler or how long I have had it. It has been in my possession 18 months or two years. Mr. Benson said he must have a better account of the prisoner's possession of the boiler. It could not have been stolen and removed by one person. Ho remanded the pri soner for another week. Ha would accept of substantial bail. HUGO. PIERSON'S NAVAL ODE. The musical public will no doubt be glad to learn, on authority, some particulars regarding a patriotic song which has recently excited much attention. Hugo Pierson's naval ode, " Ye Mariners of Eng land," was written at Wurzburg in 1859 ; the war between France and Austria had just commenced, and the director of the Vocal Society (Liedertafel) at Wurzburg, Herr Brand, who was about to give a concert for the benefit of the wounded in the Austrian army, requested Pierson to let this song, with a German translation of the words by the cele brated lyric poet (Ludwig Bauer) be included in the programme. The performance, with chorus and orchestra ou a large scale, was very successful (though there was no time for more than a hurried rehearsal), and was received with enthu siasm and a double da cape. The music was first published under the title of " Beharrlich," at Wurzburg ; subsequently the German copyright was purchased by a great firm (Schuberth and Co.) at Leipzig, and the piece soon became a standing favourite with all the vocal societies of Germany and America. It then appeared, with Campbell's poetry, in London, as song and mixed chorus or quartet, and was first performed (under the direc tion of Mr. Benedict) at St. James's Hall and the Crystal Palace, where it was received with acclama tions. A year later ii was given at a banquet at the Freemasons' Tavern, when the Swedish Ambassador, who was present, was so struck with it that he remarked, " It is no wonder that the British navy should be invincible if such music as that is composed in its praise." "Ye Mariners" was perforated at the Norwich Musical Festival in 1860 with the same result, viz., enthu siastic applause, and "Da Capo," the audience joining in with the chorus in the last verse. In the Leipzig edition this song is entitled " Deutsche Volkshyrnne" (German popular anthem), and is published at New York as " the Atnetican Banner, patriotic hymn of the United States." There are nine different editions of it extant, of which four are German, three American, and two English. At, Paris, where it was performed some months ago at a soirée musicale given by M. de Vitry, it was una nimously pronounced " the German Marseillaise." "Ye Mariners" is, however, decidedly English in character, and could only have been written by an English composer. The flue poem attached to it as " the Ameriean Banner" is (though this is not ge nerally known) by Mr. Dallas.—Musical Standard. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, J UNE 23, 1869. JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

The Times, in referring to the visit of the Egyptian Viceroy to this country, remarks that there is generally in the public mind a lingering apprehension that some. thing awkward and shabby will mark the reception of any one who comes to see us. One thing, at least, is satisfac tory—lsmail Pasha has been lodged in the royal palace, and will receive due attention from members of the Royal Family. Indeed, the Prince of Wales, to whom the Viceroy shewed a few months since so princely a hospitality, may be trusted to do the honours of England with appropriate dignity. It is said that the Government, anxious to evince its recognition of the fact, presented anew to its notice and the notice of other European Courts by the Porte, that the Viceroy is not a Sovereign Prince, but a vassal of the Sultan, is disposed to be particular in meting out to the Viceroy his exact modicum of courtesy. But there is no such indication of a desire for independence on the part of the Egyptian family as should make it necessary for even so Conservative a Power as England to regulate its courtesies with cautious nicety. Most people will think that if we were to err on the side of liberality and politeness, no great harm would be done by so very unusual a fan't. Sovereign or no sovereign, Ismail Pasha r:ceived the Prince of Wales with the most splendid magnificence ; troops wtre drawn up on his arrival, guards and escorts were numerous and well-appointed, and the general conduct of the business was grand and princely. Let us not fall short in return. If Ismail Pasha be not a crowned head, no more was the Prince of \Vales, and yet his position was not marked by a stinted ceremonial.. A due distinction may be observed without the obtrusion of anything that is niggardly and ungraceful. The Standard says that some very ardent opponents of Mr. Gladstone's bill are greatly dissatisfied with the acceptance of the second reading, and in their disappoint ment seem disposed to look somewhat coldly on the efforts made to remove some of its worst features in committee. They were more zealous for the privileges than for the property of the Church ; for the State recognition of Protestantism than for the interests of a particular Pro testant communion. We think, however, that few will be so unreasonable as not to acknowledge, on reflection, the great importance of that for which the Conservative party has yet to contend. Disestablishment is a question of policy; and however we may disapprove the policy as applied to Ireland, we cannot deny that precedents may be found for it in our recent legislation, and that it is not intrinsi cally and necessarily iniquitous. Disendowment is a question of public morality and political justice; and the " disendowment" of a Church which is charged with no fault, whose continued existence is allowed and desired, which is now what she always was, the Church of the minority, is an act per se wrongful and unjust. If it be too late to save all that the Church may fairly claim, it is, at least, a duty to save all we can. It is possible for the Church to be as flourishing, as independent, as dignified as ever without the State's aid or recognition ; it is not possible for her to retain her present character and dis tinctive qualities as a communion dependent on the volun tary principle. The Post comments on the difficulty of governing Ire land. Whether he be a Southerner or a Northerner, whether he be Celt or Anglo-Saxon, Romanist or Protes tant, an Irishman persists in living in the past, ignoring the present, and absolutely declining all attempt at fore casting the future. The Celtic peasant plots alike with his fellows and with foreigners to compass the reproduc tion of the days of Malachi, with his collar of gold, and the Ulster colonist is for ever trying to make a substantial feast out of libations poured forth to the memory of Protestant ascendancy, as he in terprets the phrase. Now, at this moment, at this of all other moments, just as we have somewhat repressed actual murder and spoken rebellion in the South, and are striving by even-handed justice to seek peace and establish it, up bound the Orangemen of the North to fix a day when with wild yells and screaming choruses to old songs they may shriek new defiance to their countrymen in the West and South, and remind them how, three hundred years ago, they put their feet on their necks, trampled on their religion, ravaged their fields, and harried their homes. On the 12th of next month these people are going to enact this folly and commit this wickedness. A member of Parliament, a representative legislator, has sent forth the Fiery Cross, summoning "the Orangemen of Ireland to assemble on that day in their tens of thousands, emphatically to commemorate the glorious triumphs of the past." Civil war is not a matter for glorification but always for regret, generally for shame as well as sorrow. And so long as gentlemen of education, with the reponsibilities which position and property entail upon them, see it in any other light, or conceive that its victories or defeats, with all their terrible and .bloody results, furnish proper occa sions for commemorative gatherings, for feastings and firewerks, and calling into fresh play the hatreds that the centuries ought to be piled over, so long will it be in vain for the statesmen of England to struggle, and her people to make sacrifices, in order to give unity and pacification to Ireland. A rainy June, observes the licrald, does not necessarily imply a barren August. From all that can be learned the hardy cereal which furnishes our staff of life is in good condition, except, of course, on badly-favoured soils, which are no criterion. True, prices are going up, and the supply for a while threatens to fall short, unless it be supplemented from abroad. But although the atmo sphere has been watery, the ground saturated, and the temperature cold, there has been less of insect and vermin ravage than usual. The harvest may be late, because the season has fluctuated and the planting was irregular. Will the sun shine when the flowering takes place? That is the question. No mortal —not Sidrophel himself—can reply to it. Meteorology may foretell storms, but it cannot anticipate the evidence of the dial. Ho ever, the backward state of most crops is, upon the whole, a favourable symptom. South of the Humber the wheat is not expected to be in ear before the first day of next month. Afterwards comes the flowering ; then follows the crisis. May we hope for a few warm, placid, and genial days? Upon that chance depends in a great degree the harvest of 1869. There is reason to think, however, that much uncertainty prevails in the agricul tural districts. Inquiries are being made with respect to the probable - yield of France, the north of Europe, Hun gary, South Russia, Turkey, and Algeria. The appre hension, we think, is premature. There is no good ground for doubting that the corn returns will be satisfactory. One lowering day after another is likely to discourage us ; but the vicissitudes of the English climate are too familiar,and our experience of them is too varied,to forbid the possibility of a blazing autumn after this humid and vaporous June. The Daily News fears that Mr. Bruce's answer to the question about Murphy's arrest at Birmingham can- not be said to be entirely satisfactory. The Mayor's excuse is one which the country at large will probably accept, but it must not be forgotten that it is an excuse and not a justification. We are quite willing to confess our profound sympathy with the Mayor of Birmingham in his difficulty, but it must be allowed that he cut the knot instead of untying it. He is responsible for the peace of the town, and that peace was held to be in danger. But while we readily admit all this, we are obliged to confess that his zeal outran his discretion. Probably, if there is any case in which we might lo►k leniently on a little stretching of the law in the interests of peace, order, and freedom, it would be in the case of such a "malignant as this Orange emissary ; but any stretching of the law at all is exceedingly dangerous, and must be protested against. While, therefore, not at all satisfied that Murphy was in the right, we are convinced that, if the Mayor acted without some clear law to execute or some distinct precedent to justify him, he was in the wrong. Of course, in saying this we give the Mayor of Binning abundant credit for the purest and simplest desire to do what the best interests of the town seemed to require ; we 1 1 even admire the courage which took the hazard from the peace of the town to transfer it to himself, and we believe that the verdict of public opinion will be " Served him right—but don't do it again." The Telegraph declares that Lord Palmerston's statue at Westminster is a complete victory for the realistic school. There is exceedingly little in the statue to remind us of the statesman—everything to bring back the man. We have not the Premier of eighty, but the " jaunty Viscount." Instead of Palmerston, the Foreign Secretary who for years made England influential in Europe, we have the popular Lord, the country gentleman, the genial, happy member of Parliament, with his hand and joke and laugh always ready. In fact, Mr. Wooln_r, has not called up Palmerston, he has kindly given us " Old Pam." The result is not altogether satisfactory. Palmerston was nut made Premier by his bon homie, though it rendered him a pleasant Prime Minister. His underlying qualities were as heroic as if the man had been taciturn and grave. It was a credit to England, ever apt to overrate solemnity of manner as if it indicated greatness of soul, that it recognised his essential worth under the trifling easy manner and the gay good humour of his life. We must be content to think that Palmerston the statesman will live, as he truly was, in the page of the historian--a lofty sphere—rather than in Mr. Woolner's street bronze. For if modern men will wear such horrible garments, and if sculpture is to be real, what is a sculptor to du? We might, it is true, send deputations to our politicians, as they gradually grew great, and request them to adjust their dress to the necessities of art in the future. We might piteously entreat Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Disraeli to forswear trousers, if they would not mind the inconvenience, and to go about like Father Ignatius, in a blanket with holes, giving up their hats for wide-awakes or cowls. Then we could have, in after years, statues that would be at once artistic and true ; and the souls of future Woolners would not be perplexed. Taking the statue as it is, however, we can assure the sculptor, that if he has not immortalised the late Premier, he has given us an excellent likeness, not of the clothes merely, but of the man as most caell truer him. _ 11EPERIAL PAI LIA M ENT HOUSE OF 'COMMONS.—THIS DAT. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. MONEY LAWS (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. DELARITNTY, in moving the second reading of this bill, said that Ireland, having lost her local Parliament, is entitled to the Lenefits and advantages of equal legislation in England, and that as the union of 1800, being based upon the assumption of different and independent interests, has led to the enactment of separate laws for the two countries, which have not worked beneficially for Ireland, it bas become necessary to try the principle of legislative equality. While the financial and money laws were the same iu both countries the manufacwres iu Ireland were as one to four compared with Grout Britain, and the popu lation as:111 to 20 compared with England and Wales, hut since 182 i, when different money laws first prevailed, both productions and population have decreased in Ire- land by one-110f. Notwithstanding the many measures of improvement which have been inaugurated since Ireland has become comparatively depressed and depopulated, The ol•ject of the bill now before the house was to put stop to the issue of small paper notes by gradual steps, and so to promote the better circulation of gold currency, whereby in'lustrial development may be greatly promoted. In 1826 Lord King had a:triLuted the existing =ber ms:intents to the existence of one and two-pound no;es. The Marquis of Lonsdowne, the Duke of Wellington, Mr. Brougham, and seveml Chancellors of the Exchequer, had at various periods expressed a similar opinion. Sir Robert Peel also said that the consequtnce of the circu lation of small notes would inevitably he the dis appearance of the gold currency from circulation. lle be lieved the passing e f the bill would be of great benefit to the country, and would teed to produce, in some measure, renewed progress in manufactures; and he appealed to the Government to support it. [LEFT SITTING. I HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE IRISH CHURCII BILL. The Earl of SIIAF rESBURY gave notice that in committee on the Irish Church bill he should move the insertion of clauses whereby in the commutation of life interests consideration may be given to the greater longevity of the clergy. It was also his in tention, in the event of the secularization of the surplus revenue being affirmed, that all paragraphs unuttered 1 to 5 inclusive, under clause 68, page 61, be omitted, and clauses be substituted providing that such surplus should be treated as a fund for granting small loans at a mode rate intJrest, on adequate security, to the peasantry of Ireland. ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL. Earl DE GREY gave notice that ho should take the sopond rpading of this Ulll uu Muudit.y .nort. BEERROUSES BILL. On the motion of the Marquis of SALISBURY, this bill passed, and was reported with a few verbal amend- ments. THE POJR IN ENGLAND AND WALES. The Marquis of TOWNSHEND moved an humble ad dress to her Majesty, praying for the issue of a Royal commission to inquire into the operation and administra tion of the laws for the relief of the poor in England and Wales. Earl GRANVILLE said there had been frequent in quiries into the operation of the poor laws, and under all the circumstances it would be unnecessary to issue such a commission. THE APPLAUSE IN THE STRANGERS GALLERY. Lord ROMILLY called attention to the demonstration of applause which took place in the Strangers Gallery during the late debate on the Irish Church Bill. He said it was a subject that called for immediate atten tion, and if disregarded might lead to the most unpleasant consequences. He thought it highly important that some steps should be taken to stop the expression of opinion, as it was most important nothing should be dono to overawe the debates in that house. He thought it would be very easy to stop the demonstrations of ap plause by the instant removal of the persons making it, but without pro:ceding to that step at first he would sug gest that au intimation be affixed iu the gallery, stating that such demonstrations of opinion wero not allowed. Earl GRANVILLE said it was improper that such de monstrations should take place, and ho thought it would be desirable that the doorkeepers and others should do all in their power to check them in every way that was pos sible. Lord CAIRNS agreed that that the practice was ex tremely improper, but probably it arose from the exube rant John Bnllism of those present. (Laughter.) The Marquis of SALISBURY' said he desired to say a word for those at the other side of the bar. He was afraid there was morn conversation carried on in the house amogst the Peers present than amongst the strangers. (Laughter.) It Lavitig been suggested that some additional power should be given to thi Lord Chancellor, the subject. druyped. The Huns.: then wijourned. HOUSE OF COMNIONS.—LAsT EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 2 o'clock. THE BANKRUPTCY BILL. The house again went into committee on this bill, and proceeded to consider the amendments propos d to the clauses. The discussion was dull and uninteresting dur ing the early part of the day. The principal point token into discuss!ou was payment of the costs of the sheriff, after a levying made by trim, and ho had been displaced by the Bankruptcy Court. It was proposed that he should to paid by the official asiguee nut of the costs of the estate, but the proposal was nega tived. The committee continued its deliberatien up to the hour at which the sitting was suspended. On resuming at nine o'clock, Mr. RYLANDS moved that it was expedient that any measure for the general amendment of the laws for licens ing public-houses. beer-houses. and hoUSeS should include the prohibition of the sale of liquors on Sunday. Mr. T. COLLINS seconded the motion. Mr. LOCKE was opposed to the bill, and in the course of a very humorous speech, which provoked much mirth, he commented on the fact that he had seen the mover of this resolution in the dining-room of the house " much the better for liquor." Why then should he try to de prive his poor and industrious neighbour of his humbler drink ? The motion, after a few words from Mr. HIBBERT, was then withdrawn. Mr. GLADSTONE moved for and obtained a select committee to inquire into the site and charge of the New Courts of Law ; rnd explained the reasons which had in duced the Government to prefer the Thames Embankment to the Carey -street site. The remaining orders of the day were formally disposed of, and the house adjourned. LONDON GAZETrE—Last Evening.
