Streatfeild, Laurence, and Mortimore, in the leather trade. Their liabilities are stated at about £BOO,OOO or £900,000, and it is believed they will really be found to amount to £1,100,000. Their acceptances in circulation are for £147,000, and the total of bills which they have under discount at various leading banks and discount establishments is little short of £BOO,OOO, of which it is appre hended at least £600,000 will be dishonoured at maturity. The average profits of the house during the last two or three years have been estimated at £40,000 per annum, but it is evident mated a t must have been delusive, and an opinion prevails that the liquidation will be disastrous. At a pri vate meeting of the creditors to-day a prospect of more than 10s. in the pound is said to have been held out. There are few, however, who think that this will be realised. One of the partners is a very considerable shareholder in the London Joint-Stock Bank, and another has recently had a bequest of £15,000, which will become payable in a week or two. The firm are connected with a house at Liverpool, but the extent to which the latter will be compromised has not transpired. The books have been placed in the hands of Messrs. Coleman, Tur quand, Youngs, and Co. The above affair has thrown the entire leather trade, which constitutes a most important branch of business, into confusion, and about half a-dozen or a dozen smaller houses are expected immediately to succumb. The stoppage of Messrs. J. Smith and Co., of Bermo n dsey , and Messrs . Smith , ' patient,and Smith , was notified early in the morn in g , ancl, other names were subsequently men tioned. From the manner in which the various houses that are now breaking down have drawn upon each other there is reason to assume that th e e ntire mischief has arisen, not from any unavoid able revulsions or misfortunes connected with this department of commerce, but from a too sanguine resort to those facilities of credit which are among the worst features of modern business. SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. 581 d Id ip 20 21 6 9 1 22 23 THE SUN, LONDON TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 3, 1860. IBusinese done CENSUS BILL. (LEVI SITTING.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter past 12 o'clock. Several petitions were presented praying for the omis sion from the bill of the clause relating to the profession or religious belief, MINES REGULATION AND INSPECTION BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, and resumed at clause 10. Mr. AYRTOId moved the following amendment to in sert after rule 15:—Rule 16. Where the persons em ployed in any coal mine, colliery, or iron-stone are paid by the weight, measure, or gauge of the coal, ironstone, or other material gotten by them, such coal, ironstone, or other material shall be truly weighed, measured, or gauged accordingly ; and it shall be lawful for such persons, at their own cost, to station a person 'at the place appointed for such weighing, measuring, or gauging, in order to take an account thereof, and to ascertain the correctness of the weight, measure, or gauge employed therein." Mr. RIDLEY considered that the terms of the amend- rent were not specific enough, and suggested the addition of the following words—" on behalf of such person by whom he is so employed." After some conversation the amendment of Mr. AYRTON was adopted and the clause, as amended, was agreed to. Clauses 11 and 12 were also agreed to. On clause 13, Mr. AYRTON moved the following amendment : " Page 6, line 1, after 'respectively,' insert 'provided always that such special rules shall be suspended in the manner provided in the fifteenth section of this act, for the period of fourteen days, before the same are transmitted to the Secretary of State.' " The amendment was agreed to. Mr. CLIVE moved the following amendment : " Page 7, line 8, leave out after accordingly' down to and including ' established' in page 8, line 4, and insert in case of the death, incapacity, or refusal or neglect to act of any arbitrator under this Act, another arbitrator shall be appointed in his place." The clause with the amendment was agreed to. On clause 20, _ _ Mr. CROOK moved the following amendment :—" Line 39, leave out serious ;' and after ' injury,' insert ' which shall be of such a nature as shall have prevented the per son or persons injured from returning to his or their work at such mine or colliery before nine of the clock in the morning of the nest following wuzkilig day." The amendment was adopted, and the clause as amended was agreed to. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY .) COMMITTAL OF A CHILD FOR ROBBING HIS FATHER, AND OF A MARINE STORE DEALER FOR RECEIVING.— Charles Henry Gilpin, a little boy, whose head only just topped the dock, was charged with stealing a quantity of feathers, of the value of 305., the property of his father, and a marine .store dealer, named Eliza Bradley, of Fitzroy market, was also charged with receiving the same, well knowing them to Le stolen. The father, a French polisher, said on going home ho missed the feathers from a bed and two pillows, the value of them being at least 305., and ascertaining from his son that he had sold them at the female's shop, he went there and asked whether she bad bought any. She admitted she had, and said she had given 6s. for the bed and 21. 6d. and Is. for the pillow feathers; and, on his asking why she bought them of such a little boy, she said, " I have to do my best." A constable (107 G) said the female prisoner said she gave him 2s. 6d. for the bed feathers, and 4d. for those of the pillows. On asking the prisoner what she had done with them, she said she had sold them to a Jew. Mr. Bealon having repeated the usual caution, asked the female what she had to say. Bradley said the feathers were not clean, and she thought she haa given a fair price for them. Shs had only got 6s, for them of a Jew. Mr. Beadon said that was her account. She would cer tainly go for trial, for if it was not for such receivers there would be no such thieves. He would take the father's own bail for the boy in £4O to appear at the sessions. Subsequently Bradley was admitted to bail, two sureties in £4O each. The prisoners were committed for trial. 770 11,572 AMERICA. GALWAY, MONDAY. Th© Atlantic Royal Mail steam-ship Prince Albert, from New York; on the 21st ult., and St. John's, Newfoundland, on the 26th, has arrived here. She brings the mails, 250 passengers, and dates from New York by telegraph to the 25th ult. The Baltimore Convention way divided. The North was in favour of the nomination of Mr. Douglass, while the South supported Mr. Brecken ridge. Mr. Fitzgerald, of Alabama, and Mr. Lane, of Oregon, were also candidates. The President had vetoed Homestead's bill, and Congress was unable to pass it. A bill had been passed in Congress for a loan of 21,000,000 dols. The Malina (?) had arrived at Father Point. California news to the Ist announced skirmishes with the Indians at Western Utah. A great battle was expected. - COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, JUNE 25.

The Raving Time says :—There was considerable bustle and excitement in both the City and Belgravian districts. The settling passed off (as we are happy to have to chroni cle it has lately) most satisfactorily. Every one was busy on the forthcoming great events, and some heavy amounts were invested on various animals. There was a great desire to back several at the marked prices, amongst which we enumerate the July Stakes at Newmarket, for which Walloon and Dictator were in strong demand, and the former left off at 5 to 2, and the latter was backed for some money at 3 to 1. Lupus was backed at 6 to 1, and although several others were spoken of, still they were not backed for any money. For the Stamford Plate, Queen of the Vale was, as might have ben supposed, made the favourite, and as little as 3 to 1 was take" with avidity. Brown Duchess and Satellite were each supported at 6 to 1, and both had numerous admirers, especially the latter, but no vast amount of money was in vested. For the Cumberland Plate Wildman was " all the go ; " in fact, there was scarcely anything else thought of, much less spoken about. 6to 4 was hardly offered before it was taken, so eager were the backers to get on. The Worcester Stakes attracted but little attention, nothing else being mentioned but Crater, the longest price offered being 6 to 4. On the Liverpool Cup speculation was very brisk ; in fact, there was more absolute business done on this than on any other forthcoming event. Aston was in great demand from the opening of the rooms, and although at first 6 to 1 was obtainable, at the close 4 to 1 was his really marketable price. Viatka seemed to be the next in favour, Bto 1 being taken. Moorcock, Horace, Adam Bede, and the Druid were each supported in different quarters with some spirit. For the Good wood Stakes Gridiron ad , vaned in favour. At the commencement 6 to 1 was taken, but after a short interval as Mile as 5 to 1 was taken freely, and eventually 4 to 1 was the highest offer. Rattiebone had no friends to-day, so they " hit hire again." At the finish his knock down was 100 to 8. Stapleton was backed freely at 12 to 1, and Satellite came all at once and was backed for money at 20 to 1, and 100 to 6 at last could only have been procured to an infinitessimal amount. _ - _ For the Goodwood Cup 4 to 1 was offered on the field. Butterfly was the only animal we saw backed, and 8 to 1 was taken about her. The Doncaster St. Leger betting had no animation, and will searcely require any comment.

The train left Bishop Auckland for Newcastle'and Sunderland at 10 minutes before nine o'clock, but fortunately, though it was market night, it had not many passengers—none first or second class. It had passed the lofty viaduct that crosses the river Browney, and was within little more than a mile of till's city, when the engine snapped its connection with the tender and ran off the line. It tumbled completely over, and instantly crushed to death the engineman (John Hall) and the fireman (John French), and by the concussion the whole of the carriages in the train were forced off the line. The first and second class carriages were smashed to pieces ; but, fortunately, the third-class passengers—the only persons travelling in train—escaped with a shaking. The cause of this fearful accident has not been ascertained. The rails, which were torn up for several yards, have been relaid, and the traffic is undisturbed by the catastrophe. An inquest will be held upon the bodies of the two men to-morrow (this day). MURDERS IN 1859.—The police returns state that as many as 95 murders were committed in England and Wales in the year ending at Michaelmas 1859. In the com plete year 1859 coroners' inquests found verdicts of murder in 204 cases (115 of them against women), but in very many instances on further investigation such cases range them selves under the head of manslaughter. Of the 95 murders 12 were committed in the metropolitan police district, 12 in Yorkshire, and 19 in Lancashire ; but only 18 persons were convicted of murder in 1859, and 9 executed ; 6 of these 9 were under 27 years of age, and one was only 18 ; these were all murders without any extenuating circumstances which could be admitted as a ground of mercy. A few other crimes besides murder are still capital, and sentence of death was recorded against 52 persons in 1859, though only the nine above mentioned were executed. Only 30 years previously, in 1829, 1,385 persons were sentenced to death, and 74 executed, 51 of them for crimes not now capital. Two of the murders in 1859 were committed by lunatics in the same month in which they were discharged from private lunatic asylums. 1,240 cases of self-murder came before coroners in the year, probably all mercifully covered by the jury with a verdict of " BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

The debts and liabilities at that time were £255,097, exc lusive of the paid-up capital of £200,000. The total requ ired to be provided or w as, therefore, £455,097. The nominal assets were L 452,002. Of these £411,730 have been realised, and a further sum i s expected of £14,993. In that case the total loss sustained by the proprietors will be about £30,000, or 15 per cent. on their investment. Mr. Maynard is. the antant i the case, and the present results confirm his n original estimates. The dollars brought by the Mexican packet have been disposed of at 62hd. per ounce, showing a decline of id. from the rate realised for those brought by the previous packet.

The Grand Match of the Rifle Association was opened by her Majesty yesterday in due state, in the presence of an immense assemblage, and under the first summer sky we have seen this year. Nothing could be more auspicious, and it must have struck everybody as a sort of discovery that it was possible to have a Derby -day with a competition, not of horses, but of men ; and that it was possible for men to compete with other weapons than their fists. The spectacle would be very novel to many of our citizens, whb may not he aware that there is a similar ground, with similar arrangements, in the outskirts of every town in Switzerland and Tyrol ; and that the people of those countries reckon on their rifle practice for the preservation of their liberties, as much as we do on our three-deckers, our sixty eight pounders, and all the rest, now costing us about thirty millions a year. The Swiss say to themselves that, so long as it is humanly certain that every one of them will kill on the average half a dozen inladers before he is killed himself, the most covetous neighbour will count the cost, and think the Alps scarcely worth the sacrifice of half a milli4n good soldiers. They also consi ler that when you have to &fend 3.onrself against odds it is better to begin with long shots, and that, if the enemy has numbers on his side, you must make up as well as you can with position and skill. By considerations such as these a few mountaineers, surrounded by natural foes, without a fleet, without a sea, with rearmly a standing army, without a fortification to stand an hour's siege, with nothing, in fact, but themselves ana their rifles, enjoy not only an independence, but a sense of security as perfect as we can pretend to. Ter rible examples haVe impressed on their neighbours a serious conviction that an invading army cf a hundred thousand good soldiers might, indeed, do a great deal of harm in Switzerland, but would Lot go home to tell the tale of their atrocities. That is the true sentiment of the performance we are wit nessing this week on Wimbledon-common. It is the noble art of self-defence en the national scale. That is all that is pretended. It is true that a na tion which can defend itself is able to interfere with more ease and security for the defence of her op pressed neighbours if the need should arise, but a noble self-confidence is a feeling. the very contrary to the lust of dominion. We may aepend upon it that no people ever sallied forth, or will ever sally forth, to conquer the world with gocd shots. It may seem rather strange that anything in the shape of an apology should be necessary for the art of national self.defence. But the old established notions of warfare are all taken from a state of things which may have been good, or may have been bad, but has now passed away. We have no food for powder left in these isles. •We used to have a good deal before our colonies, before the gold discoveries, before cotton mills and model farms, and before the Irish famine. Man was then a weed, and a very troublesome weed, and few could imagine the armaments we used to assem ble by land and by sea when our population and revenue were not half what they now are. We have to bid very high for the services of the sol dier, and in default of the professional soldier we are now fain to accept the services of any private person who will come forward and undertake the defence of our hearths and our altars• This is the reason of our Volunteers; and the result is what we witnessed in Hyde Park the other day. But that result . would be very incomplete and a most miserable error without a training in proportion to the vain:: of the Volunteer. Whatever may have been the value of life fifty years ago, we hold the men reviewed in Hyde Par: much too good to be employed merely to use up an enemy's ammunition, to fill a ditch, or divert the fire of a battery. It is not to be thought of that the Chancery Bar shall he decimated at a discharge, that the entire school of British artists shall be pounded by round shot, or our shopkeepers used up like a levy of raw con scripts. These men tender their services on the coild,ition of being made good soldiers. Every one of them must be made as good as ten ordinary sol diers. Should the occasion ever arise for the em ployment of their services, it will be in a war of rifles. They will le wanted to harrass an invading army, and to defend houses and earthworks. Their first use is to give a practical answer to the evil suggestion which has found favour in some quay ters,—that London is indefensible, and that all it can do is to yield with a good grace. If half a million able•bodied men are not able to protect their own homes against a third of their number of strangers, they deserve to be slaves, and it is quite time that they Should accept a position in keeping with the baseness of their natures. It is our belief that the Londoners alone area match for any army that could ever reach their suburbs ; but they must be well armed, and taught to use their arms. Now, a shopman from liegent-street, or a clt::rk from Coruhill, might not be able to carry his musket and knapsack several hundred miles, to bivouac on the bare ground, living on biscuit, salt pork, and green coffee ; but these aro only artificial privations, pro vided for our armies at incre3ible cost by the Ministers of regular war, and our shopman is quite as likely to be made a good shot, and to be quali fied in every respect to protect the metropolis, or hold an earthwork, as a lad from the plough, or any other fellow picked up by a recruiting-sergeant. As her Majesty was yesterday reminded, the English people have always excelled as marksmen. _ _ . _ Choir azicesiors were farecm and formidable with the longbow. Their descendants iu the United States are not less so with the rifle. To this day next to being a good horseman " cr oss coun t ry ," there is nothing an Englishman is so proud of as being a good shot. This capability of our race is so thoroughly recognised as to be even encountered by a systematic opposition, Law and custom conspire to keep arms out of the hands of the ordinary Eng lishman, for the very reason that he is known to be fond of the gun and apt at its use. Our squires know full well that our village labourers could use the rifle quite as well as Washington's troops, and that our shopkeepers would fight as well behind breast works as the heroes of Bunker's-hill. Ofcourse the courage displayed in the open field is more a theme for admiration, and. nothing was ever more glorious than the Cavalry charge at Balaklava. But the present is a question of defence, and what we have to learn is whether ordinary Englishmen, generally engaged in other pursuits, can be taught to defend their cities from invasion. It is a point on which we have no doubt. At least one Eng lishman out of the two has the eye and the arm, the nerve, the steadiness, and the courage, to ex change shots with an invader, and give as well as take. Whatever jealousy there may have existed in ti.mes gone by,tt here can be now no reason against teaching every man of good character how to de fend his country. Her Majesty yesterday inaugu rated the Rifle as our national weapon. Acts of Parliament formerly enjoined the use and practice of the bow, and the planting and preservation of the yew for this purpose. Queen Victoria wishes to reign over a nation of Riflemen. Why are we a free people, and wby do we govern ourselves, if wo may not be trusted ? Despotic Governments may be afraid to see their people armed, but ours need have no such fear. Our freedom is oar best re source, our great army of reserve our arsenal of weapons. Our mechanical skill is wasted on us, if we do not learn the use of the weapon we can make so well. Her Majesty's own shot yesterday proved the perfection to which we have brought the na tional arm. At the distance of 400 yards the bullet deviated only an inch and three-quarters in eleva tion, and four fifths of an inch from the direst line. We have the weapon and the materials ; all that is wanted is the skill, and this week will show our progress in that respect.—Times. BANK RETURNS.
