There were no bullion operations at the Bank on Saturday. The Delta, from Alexandria, has brought £10,689 in specie. The Liverpool cotton market on Saturday was buoyant, and the sales increased to 18,000 bales. The Canadian News publishes the resolutions passed by the Senate and Commons of the Cana dian Parliament, ratifying the bargain between Canada and the Hudson's Bay Company. These resolutions provide, among other points, for the payment of the stipulated sum of £300,000 by Canada to the Hudson's Bay Company, and authorise the Governor-General iu Council to take measures for the carrying out of the agreement. The money is to be raised under an Imperial gua rantee. We have received a copy of the balance-sheet for 1868 of the Azienda Assicuratrice of Trieste, an undertaking which was established in 1822. It appears that the accumulated funds of the com pany, invested in real estate, Government stock and other first-class securities, are now £354,013 15s. Bd., showing an increase on last year of about £90,000 ; and, after having paid a dividend of 10 1-6 per cent., the company has been enabled to raise its reserve and premium funds from £210,595 12s. in 1867, to £286,853 18s. 7d. in 1868. The last advices from Montevideo furnish details of the late financial crisis in that city, and of the embarrassments that are still resulting from it. It is stated that the efforts of the Government and of the Legislature to afford relief have proved futile, and that, while the proposals for a resuscitation of the suspended banks have all been rejected, the only circulating medium in the country is still the paper of these banks. The effect of the decline in the value of wool upon Cape interests is shown in the following ex tract from the circular of Messrs. L. Lippert and Co., dated Port Elizabeth, May 14 :—" The advices of the continued downward tendency of our staple in the home markets has given prices here also a turn in favour of buyers. Supplies have been steadily pouring in, and large quantities are said to be on the road." The British Land Company (Limited) have de clared an interim dividend to the 30th inst. of 5 per cent. on their paid up capital. At a meeting on Saturday of the creditors of Messrs. T. and S. Sykes, worsted spinners, Duckett mills, Bradford, the liabilities were stated at about £5,000, with assets expected to yield ss. in the pound. A committee was appointed, and the meet ing adjourned till Tuesday. The coupons on the first preference 6 per cent. Bonds of the Northern Railway of Canada are ad vertised for payment on the Ist of July. We are informed that Messrs. W. C. Miller and Sons, of Garston, floated the screw steamer Brazi lian from their graving docks on the 24th instant, after having lengthened her 125 feet. Her dimen sions now are as follows : —Length between per pendiculars, 403 ft. ; breadth, 37ft. gin. ; depth, 35ft. 4in. She will be propelled by engines of 500 horse power, and steered with Skinner's verti cal steering apparatus. With the exception of the Great Eastern this vessel is now, we believe, of greater length than any other in the merchant ser vice. She is said to be intended for the Suez Canal navigation.

Account, July 7 ATVFUL TRAGEDY NEAR SMIIIIPJELD. A FATHER, MOTHER, AND SIX CHILDREN POISONED. A sensation, which it would almost be impos sible accurately to describe, was created this (Monday) morning) in the immediate vicinity of West Smithfield, within a few yards of the steno of the late terrible tragedy where a man murdered his wife by cutting her throat, and destroying his own life afterwards. Probably a more fearful crime has not been enacted in the great metropolis than the one we are about to narrate. At No. 15, Hosier lane, one of the principal carriage en trances to Smithfield, stands a large double fronted house, occupied by a Mr. Adams, a silver smith and electro-plater, and in this same house re sided his clerk, named Duggan, about 28 years of age, together with his wife and family of six chil dren. Of late the man Duggan had been very un well, and had suffered much from an inward dis ease, which had caused him at times to become greatly excited, but nobody for a moment imagined that he ever contemplated the awful crime which unfortunately he has committed. The circumstances which have led to the fearful crimes were such as have rarely been heard of. At the first postal delivery at Smithfield Polica-station ►this morning the inspector received a letter from Duggan, in which he stated that the police would have to attend early at No. 15, Hosier-lane. The inspector thinking the letter was a rather siegular one sent a constable round to the house, wile!) a scene of a most sickening nature presented itself. lie could at once see that murder most foul had been committed, for the lifeless bodies of not fewer than eight human beings were lying in bed in different parts of the rooms iu the occupa tion of the man Duggan. Without touching any of the bodies the officer at once scut for Inspector Everett, who promptly attended, accomp inied by acting detective, Inspector Smith. The officer at once sent off for Dr. Wilson, of Farringdon-street, and upon the arrival of that gentleman, about 9 o'clock, upon entering the second floor back, he found Duggan lying in bed a corpse, and a strong smell of bitter almonds pervaded the room. Ile went from the room into the front apartment, and found Mrs. Duggan lying:in bed, also dead. There was a young child at each side of her apparently asleep, but, upon closer inspection, were found to be also dead. There were two other children at the foot of the bed, and they were also dead. There were also two children in a bed opposite the one the mother was lying on, and another in a crib, all three of whom were likewise dead. Dr. Wilson at once felt convinced by the odour in the different rooms that the whole of the per sons, both adults and juveniles, had died from the effects of prussic acid, but be could discover no trace of any vessel in the rooms that had contained that deadly poison. Upon making inquiries of the police, he ascertained that two bottles containing the essential oil of bitter almonds of full strength had been removed to the station-house before his removal. Upon examining these bottles, they showed unmistakably that the whole of the persons had died from swallowing that poison. T'ue letter before referred to was signed by Mr. J. Duggan, and that a letter which wassent to his brother would state full particulars. The purport of that letter is not yet known, and probably, if the brother resides out of town, will not be known until late this evening or to-morrow morning. Mr. Wilson is of opinion that the ages of the children vary from infancy to 10 or 12 years. Their names were Emma, Walter, Alice, George, Herbert, and the infant Ada. One very remarkable event in connection with the tragedy is that the wholesale murderer always appeared exceedingly fond of his wife and offspring, and last night he took the whole of his children for a walk over Blackfriars-bridge, alleging that a change of air would do them good. After being out with them some time he brought the children home, and remarked that he had g i ve n them a good airing, but the prevailing opinion is that he took them out, not for the benefit of their health, but that, if opportunity occurred, he would drown them, for on his return home he seemed in a very desponding state of mind. Being Sunday, of course the banks of the river Thames were thronged with people, and the man would thereby be unable to carry out such a desperate crime with out being immediately detected. Amongst the many rumours in circulation is one that the mother took part in the committal of the dreadful affair, but, of course, nothing reliable on that point can at present be ascertained. Mr. Brett, the ward beadle, has taken charge of the bodies, and has forwarded information to Mr. Payne, the .Coroner, but up to noon to-day no time had been announced for the holding of the inquest.

The Pope received the felicitations of the Sacred College and of the Senate on Saturday, the anniversary of his election to the Pontificate. In reply to an address from the Cardinal Vicar his Holiness said : "Arrived as I now am at the twenty-fourth year of my Pontificate, my first duty is to render thanks to the Lord, who has sustained my weakness in the midst of numerous and cruel trials, and to admire the protection, so full of wisdom, which He has granted to the Church. No doubt He has allowed her to be exposed to fearful tempests, but at the same time He sustains her, and raises up in defence of her rights Christians animated with holy courage. I address, in the next place, my thanks to the Sacred College, and to all those who surround me, for the noble share they have taken in the struggle, and for the good wishes they have expressed through you. "The world appears divided into two societies: one nume rous and powerful, agitated and restless; the other less nume rous, but calm and faithful. My illustrious predecessor, Pope Gregory the Great, has compared these two bodies to those once gathered—the first on the Plain of Shinar, where men raised the Tower of Pride, and were visited by God with confusion of tongues and dispersion ; the second in the Cenacolo, on the day of Pentecost, where Peter the Apostle and thousands of the faithful of dif ferent nations heard and understood one and the same language. "Then we see to-day on our side the revolution, bringing socialism in its train, which condemns and denies religion, morality, and God himself ; and, on the other hand, the true faithful, who, calm in national faith, 'I vait patiently till good principles regain their wholesome influence, and till the designs of God are accomplished. "Ah ! if sovereigns would adopt these good principles, how easy would it be for them to govern their people ! What good might they do to their people and to them selves ! The future is in the hands of God. As He defeated the first revolutionaries, He will overthrow those of our day ; and we may, and ought, to desire that the haughty persecutors of the Church should be humiliated and confounded. "In the meantime let us accomplish our sacred duty. 'Ego auton exercebar,' says the Psalmist, and let us give God thanks for having preserved peace in this slip of earth so wonderfully privileged, and from which we can extend our tears and our prayers over the whole Church. How great are the evils which weigh her down ! Everywhere we meet with ruins and with tears. Perhaps at the very moment I am speaking a kingdom is being deprived of its last bishop, thrown, like his brethren, into prison, or driven into exile." (Here the Pope's voice was broken by emotion, and he lifted his eyes, streaming with tears, to heaven. All knew that he was referring to the exile of the Polish bishops, of which intelligence had just reached the Vatican.) " Certainly," resumed the Pope, " God might permit that we ourselves should share the fate of these bishops The plant which plunges its roots into the soil, where we still find security, may be struck, as was the mystic plant of the prophet Jonali. But the perils which menace us will be turned asirle by the Divine mercy, and this plant has the word of ;,he Lord that ensures its stability. " I invoke the Almighty protection of God on the Sacred College, on the prelates, on this beloved city, and those who represent it (the Senate was present). I pray especially fc r two sorts of persons—those who are in tribu lation, tha'. God maybe their helper; and those still more unhappy, who live in sin, that God may give them victorious grace. Even in Rome there are some few souls a.bane.oned of God, who mistake the shadow for the sub stani;e, falsehood for truth, and who, leaving the path of justice, lose themselves in the forest with ravenous beasts. Woe to such, for to them is owing the loss of all good. May God save you from such a fate, and may He, by the intercessions of Mary, bless you as I desire with all the fervour of my heart." I need not say that all overtures with Russia which Lave been reported as existing are mere fictions. They may all be traced to Russian sources, and have been cir culated with the object of detaching the Catholic Poles from Rome. f)itDINARA dti.6.1i,41:16 AND STOCK B. itiare Hallway!, Closing Basing) Paid.

April and $)1 111 112 SHELL PRACTICE ON DARTMOOR For some time trials of shells have been made on Dart moor. The shells under trial are the Shrapnell shell of Colonel Boxer, the Superintendent of the Woolwich Laboratory (the Government establishment for the manu facture of missiles), and the Segment shell of Sir William Armstrong. The targets represented a company of infantry, consisting of about 30 files. There were two rows, 3 feet apart, 18 yards wide by 6 feet in height. The distance of the guns was 1,300 yards. On the first day of the trial, with fifteen rounds of Segment shell the Horse Artillery made 12 hits, the Field Battery 119. With the same number of Shrapnell the Horse Artillery put in 130 fragments, the Field 178. On the second day's Practice the same description of targets were used, but the distance was reduced to 1,000 yards. The segment shells were only allowed their percussion fuses, and were prohibited from having their time fuses fixed—a manifest disadvantage. Results : Home Artillery, 152 hits with segment shell ; Field, with ditto, 471 ; with Shrapnell, 364 and 458 respectively. During the third day's firing a new mark was fired at. Fifty dummies, half of them (the front rank) of the height of men kneeling, the others (the rear) of men standing, were placed in skirmishing order, about five paces intervening between the files. Sixty yards behind were targets to repre sent a company in support. The Horse Artillery fired at these representations of humanity at 1,000 the Field at 1,200 yards. With Shrapnell, in 15 rounds, the first killed 12, wounded 3 ; the latter, 7 and 4. With segment the results were, in the first instance, 5 killed, 9 wounded—most only slightly ; in the second, 12 and 11. On this day the Horse Battery did not ascertain its dis tance in the manner that had been practised in all the other experiments, namely, by laying two guns on the object fired at. It was consequently found that an error of sixty yards had crept into the range, which was considered sufficient to vitiate the experiment, which was repeated on the following day, when 13 were killed, 6 wounded, with segment; 14 killed, 9 wounded, with Shrapnell. On all occasions it was found that the Shrapnell inflicted great damage on the supports; with the Field Battery over 100 hits having been made, while comparatively trifling effects on these were obtained by the segment, the destructive power of which was confined to the skirmishers. The same unhappy dummies were fired at, the supports being in this instance retired to about 200 yards, and very fairly protected by the natural slope of the ground. The H battery practised at 800, the F ditto at 1,500. With segment, the R.H.A. in 15 shots killed 13, wounded 1. The Field Battery killed 7, wounded 1. With Shrapnell, 10 and 11 in the first instance, 19 and 6 in the second. The Shrapnell also put at 1,500 yards 26 hits into the supports, 13 at 900. The segment did but very trifling harm to the supports. WIMBLEDON, 1869. With the summer comes the great volunteer picnic. Wimbledon is again warlike. The Common is already a rented plain, the "dressing" of the long line of flagstaffs s once more a theme of wonderment, and the windmill and its outbuildings are surrounded as heretofore. The army of occupation has begun to take up its quarters. The general disposition of the camp is so precisely what it has been on preceding occasions, that the initiated visitor finds his way about can vass-town without difficulty or hesitation. The bazaars are not opened yet, but the line of them running down to the tanks does not seem to have altered its position by a hair's breadth. The quarters for the police, of whom there is always a goodly detachment sta tioned here ; those for the Guards, whose bearskins are to be seen upon the pegs outside like huge wigs upon blocks, or the inane of the distant lion in Mr. Leighton's diploma picture ; the regimental camps of such well known corps as the London Scottish, the Civil Service, the City Rifle Brigade, and those be longing to Middlesex and Surrey, each waiting their owners, and, with their limits well defined, are all recognised at once. The really pretty little tent and garden of Captain Drake, the engineer officer in charge, if as full of flowers as ever, and the stone cupid in the centre of the artificial pool is distributing his watery favours with even more than his accustomed energy. Flowers are always in request at Wimbledon ; and th• tradesmen supplying them do a busy trade. Given a tent and a few yards of virgin turf about it, and nothiDg is easier than to have a blooming garden durii your tenancy. Accordingly flowers are transplanted from pots, and temporary beds and parterres made by the Volun teers or for those who are luxulions. At first sight there is little to remind one that the commencement of the meeting is still a week off. The tramway between the Camp and the Wimbledon end of the enclosure is down ; the tents for the administrative and statistical, staff c'uster as compactly as usual between the refresh ment-house and the windmill ; the famous clock stand has never been taken clown since last year, and was being fitted up on Saturday; the notice boards stand in their accustomed place ; the old warnings against throwing lighted fusees upon the dry and tindery grass continue to speak, though the cold and rainy season has made their pleadings pointless. " Cmsar's Camp," which is outside the enclosure, and in the direction of Combo 'Wood, still shews how early was England's need for volunteers ; "Jacob's Well" yields water as fresh and cold as ever ; and, above all, the expansive view remains gloriously unaltered. 7 11,11.NLVG REPORTS.

At Worcester, Lord of the Valley and Ben Block are entered for the Croome Handicap, but your subscribers bad better wait ti'l the last before they meddle with them. Catton, Lord of the valley, and Ampleforth are in the Flying Stakes, my preference being for the last-named. I have no fancy for the Lady Evely❑ filly for the Worcester Cup. CHILTON.—Thera is not much going on here, as those connected with the horses are away at Stockbridge. The following are doing most work : —Virginia Creeper, Vigi lant, Mr. Pitt, Mimes, Triton, La Mure, Black Boy, Royal Princess, Camellia, colt by Prime Minister; filly by Neville, filly by Big Ben, Cheerful, Shepherd, and Esher. LEWES.— Macaroon, Buccaneer filly, Pucelle, Simplon, Sentry-go, Cape Flyaway filly, Master Bagot colt, Iron stone, and Christine are all doing good work, and some of them, no doubt, will be sent to Chelmsford. MIDDLEHANI.—Tabouret has not been out this day or two, and Pretender is only walking about in the home fields. A rest will do him good. I think that Fortuuio will be the best from here for the Liverpool Cup. He is very well, and run forward. Lady Henrietta I have not seen since her journey to France. We have Blair Drummond in the Liverpool St. Leger. He is not a good one, but he is very well, and as there is a very moderate lot in, he may win. STOCKBRIDGE.—Since my last we have had very little doing in the way of training operations, as most of the horses have only done some gentle canters each day. I expect we shall have a good team for the Newmarket July Meeting, when the debut of a pretty good two year old will take place, to whom I will pay particular atten tion. No doubt we shall win some races every week, as they are getting the stables pretty clear of the illness that has been iu it ever since March. Insnrv.—flibernian and Halloween are fit and well for their Chelmsford engagements. Ligurian and Winifred are going good work for the Worcester Stakes, and will be our best for that event. Of the two I like the first named the best. Faith, Eugene, and Hollandaise are in the Coventry Stakes, and the latter will be the best. La Sorreutina is doing good work for the Grand Stand Plato. Luna, in the Flying Stakes, your readers have seen run lately. Alaster, in the Worcester Cup, is a moderate horse. HORSES STRUCK OUT OF THEIR ENGAGE MENTS.

A splendid specimen, in the shape of some pillaisters and a facia, is now to be seen at a tavern in the King's-cross-road. The design is at once novel, and harmonizes most admirably with the gold and white ground of the glass. The Great Metropolitan Choral Festival, of 5,000 voices, to be held at the Royal Horticultural Gar dens, under the direction of Mr. G. W. Martin, on Satur day next, will be the largest gathering of Choristers ever brought together for an open air festival.

There was great excitement at the City and West-end Clubs on Saturday; iu fact there was notthi❑g tided about but the raid the Scotland-yard authorities had made on some of the large bottle ) ; commission agents, and the general opinion is that the police have gone a little too far. After the Londoners having put up so long with the eccentricities of an Irish Chief Commissioner of Police it is out of the question that they should tolerate the same with a Scotch one. In the meantime, it would be idle to argue why the "upper crust" of betting society is not broken into, while there is such a stir among the small fry, for there is no Act of Parliament to prevent a free-born Briton betting at his club or an other private place— nor is there likely to be, i❑ despite of Mr. Poland's threat. The Act of 1833 was passed through the house ostensibly to put down "ready money" betting, and whilst the doubt exists whether it can be made to apply to commission agents, it would be ridiculous to argue that it ought to touch those who in most cases bet in one place —on a racecourse, or at Tattersall's, or at their club--and pay or receive in another the Monday after the event is over. " Suppressing betting" in 1869 i■ not so easy a matter as was the closing of the offices—half of them opened by welshers and swindlers—in 1853. The cur - rent week will be a quiet one, and plating will be the rule either at Aintree or Chelmsford, or at the Worcester gathering on Thursday and Friday. Newmarket and Epsom will supply most of the horses for the Chelmsfo:cl races, and King Victor would make shoat work of most of the competitors if he were brought out, but Stevn,s has the easiest handicapped animal in the whole race iu Chivalry. Miss Merryweather is at Nightingall's Cpsom, and will beat all the best form in the Groat Baddow Two Year Old Stakes, albeit the penalty will stop her, if there is anything respectable among the maidens, and the promising Birdie has only:been beaten in good company. Wednes day's problems can be easier solved after the decision of the above, and at present little can be done with the Liver pool bill of fare. The half score in the St. Leger include nothing better than Scintilla, a very moderate animal in deed, even if she can stay a mile and a half ; and there is not one worth naming iu the other three year old races, the Sefton and Grand Stand Stakes. The Spy should have no difficulty in carrying off the Liverpool Cup. A FRESH MAN. IMPERIAL .PARLIA BIEN' HOUSE OF LORDS.-THIS EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool ack at five o'clock. Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from the Governors of Christ's Hospital against the Endowed Schools Bill. The Poor Law Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. THE ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL. Earl DE GREY and RIPON moved that this bill be road a second time. He thought their lordships would agree with him that the present state of many of the en dowed schools in this country was not in a satisfactory condition. The bill proposed to carry out certain preli minary work—to examine into the condition of the schools, and to arrange the authority under which they were to be governed. [LEFT SITTING. I HOUSE OF COMMONS—THrs DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. THE TELEGRAPH BILL. Mr. GRIEVE asked the Postmaster-General whether it was the intention of the Government to bring in a bill to carry out the provisions of the Telegraph Act of 1868. The Marquis of HARTINGTON stated that a bill was prepared, and would shortly be submitted to the house for the purpose of providing for the transference of the tele graphs to the Government. A clause would be inserted to give a monopoly to the Government as at the Post office. . _ _ Mr. BOI7IIKE asked the Attorney-General whether, in the event of the house agreeing to the second reading of the Dublin Freemen Disfranchisement Bill, it was his in tention to bring in a bill to disfranchise the ward of the borough of Bradford respecting which Mr. Baron Martin bas reported to the Speaker that, being " inhabited prin cipally by Irishmen of the working class, large numbers" therein " were influenced by corrupt practices" at the late election. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL answered in the nega tive, the two cases, in his opinion, not being at all similar. (Hear, hear.) THE BANRRUTITY BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed, amid loud cheers from the Ministerial side of the house. THE CIVIL SERVICE ESTIMATES. Mr. CANDLISH rose to call attenion to the imperfect audit of the public accounts, and to the failure of the departments to lay their accounts before the Auditor- General. rLEFT SITTING.] AMERICA.
