NONEI.IIARKET AN I) COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, Two O'CLOCK. Extreme quietude has prevailed to-day in the Market for the English Funds, and the other de partments of the Stock Exchange have presented a corresponding degree of inactivity. Consols, how ever, have remained very firm, at 90i for money, and 94 for the account. In the Foreign Market business is not active, but prices are well supported. Turkish 6 per Cents. (1862) are 72 I ; do. Consolide,s, 494 e ; Mexican, 24g. ; do. New, 23a ; Greek, 21i a ; Spanish Passive, 29/ ; do. Certificates, 141 ; Italian, 64k ; and the Confederate Loan, 7 9. Business in the Railway Share Market has con tinued very dull, and prices, in some instances, are a shade flatter. Great 'Western declined 55., Lan cashire and Yorkshire, and North Eastern (York) 10s., North Western Is., and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, £1 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without change of importance. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are inactive, and barely sustain former rates.

Mrs. Mary Seymour, carrying on an extensive business as a laundress, 103, Marlborough-road, Chelsea, said she had boon much robbed of late, and on Thursday week last she gave some flannels to a woman to wash, and that woman gave them to prisoner. They were hung out in the garden, and as it began to rain prisoner and witness took them in. They were afterwards missed, and then, being suspected, prisoner was given into custody. Mr. Solfe said it was a most improper proceeding to charge the woman on that supposition. Mrs. Seymour said she had missed other things. Sho sent prisoner, a few days ago, to Westminster, with some clean linen, and she did not deliver a petticoat up that was given to her. The servant at the housenever had it. She had not the servant there, but the prisoner must have had it. Her customers would not pay her till their property was restored. She complained at the station and they searched the pawnbrokers, but not finding the property she charged prisoner., Ann Cork proved giving the things to prisoner aftor she washed them, and Seeing them on tho line to dry, but know nothing moro of it. In answer to inquiries, Mrs. Seymour said there were lodgers in hor house, and the garden wall could not be get over. She thought she was justified in charging priiioner. None of the property was found and nono can be traced to prisoner. O'Leary, 228, proved taking prisoner. Mr. Selfe—The prisoner is discharged. It is a very im proper proceeding to charge this woman and bring her here, and Mrs: Seymour may hear something more of it and get into trouble. Prisoner, with tears in her eyes, said she had been locked up all night. She was a respectable woman and had been in the neighbourhood three years without a stain on her character. Mr. Selfe—Tho charge ought not to have been made or taken against you. TII E lIA RVE ST IN MI DDLE SEX.— ti llarvest opera- ons have, within the past two or three days, commenced on the more forward soils in the county of Middlesex. In the vicinity of l'eltharn and _Ashford and other places some fine fields of oats are being cut, and would probably have been carried by this time if the rain had not intervened. Rye, wheat, and barley aro all ripening off rapidly, though in somo places the crops have been much laid by the late hail storms. The Devizes Gazette states that within the last few days Dr. Bucknill, one of the examiners in lunacy attached to the Court of Chancery, has had an interview with Con stance Kent, in Devizes prison ; for the purpose of ascertain ing whether there was any ground upon which a plea of insanity could be supported. Th 9 result of[the interview has induced - the abandonment of any line of defence founded upon Such a plea. Tho onlypoculiarity which at all struck Dr. Buckiill was her exreme calmness. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1865 LAW INTELLIGENOE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Popys.) EXAMINATION OF MR. WELCH. IN RE TILE HON. RICHARD BETHELL. The bankrupt came up again to-day upon' the adjourned meeting for choice of assignees and proof of debts, Upon the last occasion a considerable amount of wrangling en sued as to a claim made by Mr. Welch, the Registrar of the Leeds Court of Bankruptcy, for £1,068, it being finally arranged that Mr. Welch should attend and prove the debt in the ordinary manner. Mr. Lawrence, for creditors, alluded to a claim made on the estate by Mr. Anderson, of tho Stock Exchange, and requested Mr. Anderson to go into the witness-box. Mr. Anderson said—l am a member of the Stock Ex change. I claim £320 of the bankrupt. My first dealing with the bankrupt was in March this year. I received in structions from Mr. Bethell personally to buy Spanish and other stock. I believe all the matters were time bargain. 1 never delivered any stock to the bankrupt, nor did ho ask for any. I have speculated on his behalf to the amount of thousands of pounds. The gross amount of purchases is several thousands—not a groat many. The general result is a loss, but some of the transactions show a profit. I was informed at the European Bank that the bankrupt had a very good account there. It is the custom of the Stock Exchange for the broker to pay any difference in default of his principal. Mr. Chidley—Aud the money claimed is absolutely duo Mr. Lawrence then alluded to a claim made by a lady for £9OO upon a bond. The bankrupt, sworn, said that the bond was a docu ment founded upon another bond which had been assigned to the lady. It was quite true that Anderson's claim arose out of time bargains. There were other stockbrokers em ployed by the bankrupt besides Messrs. Anderson. Mr. Chidley said that Mr. Welch was now in attendance, and two or three questions would be put to him as to his claim. Mr. Welch sworn—The bankrupt owes me £1,050. I lent Bethell that money at various times during the past year, and it is still duo to mo. There was a sum of £5OO advanced on the 6th of May, 1861, and the sums passed from me by cheque and bank post bill. Cross-examined—l have known Mr. Bethell six years. I never lent him money before May, 1864. lie applied to me personally for 500. He said he should soon receive £5,000 or £6,000, out of which I should be paid. Ile gave me a bill at the time. Mr. Chidloy—The bill was given up and a writte n acknowledgment given of the whole amount. Witness—l am ono of the registrars at the Court at Leeds. The promissory note is cut in half, but I did not do it. I took Mr. Bsthell's letter of acknowledgment, be cause I thought that would be sufficient with the cheque h e had endorsed. Mr. Lawranco then read the acknowledgment, which set out that Mr Welch was not to bothor tho bankrupt who would pay him some day or other or give him secu rity. Witness—l have frequently pressed him for money. Although he did not pay the £5OO bill when it became due, I lent him £5O more soon afterwards because he asked for it, and I had known him for a long time. Mr. Chidley objected to any questions as to Mr. Welch's reasons for 7snding money. The Registrar said, if Mr. Lawrence chose to press his question he could not interfere. Witness—Mr. Bethell was an old friend of mine, and I did believe that one day I should get the money. I lent him money in February, 1865, for the same reason. I produce my bankrupt's book, but I do not want to have it looked over. I was appointed Registrar in July, 1864, and Mr. Bethell was sent abroad in May. Mr. Bethell did not promise mo to use his influence, nor do I believe that I was indebted to him for the appointment. Mr. Chidley carried the choice, and Mr. Lawrence said he should require a deficiency account and cash.a.ccount for two years. Bankrupt—l certainly did not keop a cash book. After some general argument, the proceedings terminated. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THAMES. CHEAP BOOTS IN THE ST. KATHERINE DOCK.—William Younghusband, aged 44, Michael Connell, 42, and Charles Beaumont, 41, labourers, wore charged with breaking open a case containing now boots, in the St. Katherino dock. and stealing a portion of the contents therefrom. It appeared in evidence that several cases of boots, in tended for the Confederate soldiers in America, had been returned on tho breaking up of the rebellion, and were deposited in ono of the dock warehouses. Ono of the eases was discovered to have been forcod open, and a portion of the contents abstracted. Yesterday afternoon au officer, named Fell, discovered Connell on one of the quays putting on a pair of now boots. His old ones were alongside of bins. Fell asked him what ho meant by being away from his gang, and whore ho obtained the new boots, to which ho replied that ho found them on the quay while clearing it up. Soon afterwards Beaumont was arrested with a now pair of boots on his foot, and his account of them was that ho found them in ono of the dock warehouses while moving sorno barrels, and, his own being nearly worn out, ho made an exchange. Younghusband was next detected. There wore a pair of new boots on his foot. Ile said ho had had them a fortnight, and that ho bought them. They had not boon worn more than an hour or two. Other boots had been taken from the caso. It is supposed they had been disposed of in the same way as the prisoners had disposed of the boots they had stolen, and whon the robbery was discovered the wearers left the dock with them. The boots taken from the prisoners wore identified, and ;lie prisoners were committed for trial. Letter of the Emperor Maximilian of Mexico. PARIS, July 13. The last French mail from Mexico brings the following letter, addressed by the Emperor Maxi milian to the new Minister of the Interior, Senor Esteva, tracing out the programme which his Majesty desires him to follow : " Puebla, June 7, 1865. " My dear Minister Esteva,—confiding in your intelligence and patriotism, I have to-day appointed you my Minister of the Interior. You will under take a difficult task, and it cannot be doubted that you will have to contend against many obstacles. To triumph over all you will have to act with jus tice, firmness, and the most complete impartiality, thus following the line - of policy pursued by the empire. " The work of the empire and its most sacred duty is to unite all parties, since it is only in union that we shall find the strength to be independent, and to develope all the material and physical gifts with which God has endowed our beautiful country. " With me I expect you to use the most sincere candour. Never disguise from me the faults that my Government may commit, nor the desires of the people, based upon justice. "With your subordinates you will always be firm, and you will compel them to follow the same course of justice and impartiality. You will check and punish them if they deviate from this line of conduct and act with partiality or caprice. " One of your most essential duties will be to produce uniformity throughout the country in the course of government, and the development of the administration as of the unity of principles. Very precise instructions in this sense will be ncessary for all the departments. "To put these instructions into practice you will have to seek capable and loyal men, wholly devoted to the new principles, in order to place them at the head of the departments. If you have good pre fects matters will proceed immediately with regula rity, and we shall see the spirit of the Government extend into the most distant districts. " Once good chiefs are placed at all points, it will be easy for you, by uniting the good regula tions already existing, and adding those yet defi cient, to establish a complete and universal system of political administration. "It is a grave fault on the part of the Govern ment officers to act under the sole guidance of their goodwill, and not upon previously fixed principles; this fault ought to be checked as soon as possible, for goodwill constitutes a rather dangerous state of things, and affords no durable guarantee to the governed. " I also call your attention to another essential point in political life, that is, a good and definite municipal organisation. 4 6 After individual liberty, which is ordinarily the principle of the development of sound liberty, a just municipal self-government benefits the people and extends political spirit. An evil under which all our municipal districts are suffering is the com plete want of resources. Hence the decadence of our magnificent cities :and the desertion of our vil lages. The settlement of this question will be a great step towards bettering the condition of our country. I request you, therefore, to lay before me, as soon as possible, propositions to that effect. " You will propose to me henceforth the recom pences merited by the prefect; sub-prefects, and alcades in the departments and districts whore in dividual security and public order is best preserved, in order to extirpate the terrible scourge of the bands of malefactors who, under a political banner, are the greatest evil afflicting our dear country. " Tell your Subalterns also that with such there must be no compromise. It is an evil which must be cut off at the root, without any compassion. That it is possible and easy to accomplish this has already been proved to us in those departments presided over by intelligent and energetic prefects —I am, &c., " MAXIMILIAN."

Payne, the Southwark coroner, at Guy's Hospital, respecting the death of James Regan, aged 33, alleged to have been murdered by a marine store-dealer named Henry Barker, in custody upon that charge. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased was in the prisoner's employ, They had a dispute about wages last Monday evening, when the deceased insulted the prisoner's wife. The prisoner then struck him with great violence, and be fell in the street insensible. He was lifted up, and removed in a cab to the hospital. He was there found to be dead. The cause of death was effusion of blood on the head, which might have been produced by a blow or fall. The jury - returaed a verdict of "Manslaugh ter against Henry Barker for feloniously killing and slay ing James Rogan." DEATH OF MISS 111/s/TeN, THE BALLET GIRL.— Miss Hinton, the ballet girl whose clothes caught fire whilst she was engaged performing at Holder's Concert Hall on the night of the 4th inst., is dead. It will be re membered that directly after the accident occurred and the flames were extinguished the unfortunate girl was at once taken to the General Hospital. At that institution she had every attention bestowed upon her by the house surgeon and other medical officials ; but notwithstanding their treatment, she lingerel on, and died on Thursday afternoon, between the hours of four and five o'clock.- 13irminglsam Gazette. East Surrey Election. Last evening a large and influential meeting of the dos-e -ters of East Surrey was held at the Lammas Hall, Batter sea, the objects being to hoar the'addresses of the Conser vative candidates, and their political views upon the leading topics of the day. Amongst the gentlemen on the platform wore Sir George Pollock, Mr. Cazenove, Mr. Whiting, Mr. Burney, Mr. Dines, &c. Mr. W. Baker having been called to the chair, introduced to the meeting the Hon. W. Brodrick and Mr. Henry W. Peek, as the Conservative candidates for the representation of the eastern division of the county of Surrey in the new Parliament. They were received with the most enthusias tic acclamation. Mr. Brodrick then proceeded to address the electors in an eloquent and argumentative speech. Ho said from the first moment the Conservative party did him and his friend Mr. Peek the honour of selecting them as the chosen candidates for the representation of East Surrey in Parlia ment their object had been one alone, and that was to win. They did not, however, think that they were likely to win if they came before the constituents without pre viously acquainting them with the circumstances under which they asked for their suffrages, and telling them something about the results of their canvass which they had now successfully completed. (Cheers.) They had gone into every division of this great constituency, and endeavoured to make acquaintance with the constituency in such a way as to afford them every opportunity to put any questions to the candidates they pleased. It was their wish to visit the electors personally, and it was their intention, if they were sent to Parliament, to know every one of them, and to do all in their power to promote their interests. In this respect they intended to take a directly opposite course to that followed by their late member, Mr. Locke King, who never thought it necessary to communi cate with them for the whole six years he was supposed to represent them in Parliament. Their political opponents were not enabled to lay hold of anything in Con servative addresses to find fault with, Mr. Locke King merely observing that he could not understand them. Well, there were none so blind as those that would not see. He (Mr. Brodrick) would take care to express his political views so clearly that the dullest comprehension could not fail to understand them. He would take two questions that appeared to agitate the public mind very much. The ballot was ono of them. Surely it could not be said that either ho or his colleague had spoken with any ambiguity or uncertainty on that point, although Mr. Locke King and Mr. Buxton shirked that question when put to them at the Clapham meeting. They (the Conservative candidates) told thom distinctly that they were opposed to the ballot (Cheers.) Theywould never vote for a measure that would enable any English man to sneak to the poll with a secret vote, to give the general impression that he had voted one way, and then to go home to his family and friends and tell them that he had voted another way altogether. The next question for consideration was that of reform—a question which had been meddled with in every possible way by every Govern ment that had held power for the last twenty years. Mr. R. Lowe, once an eminent member of the present adminis tration, summed up the whole case regarding the ques tion of reform in a most argumentative and conclusive speech. The object of those who advocated reform was evidently to establish the superiority of mere numbers over wealth, intelligence, and education. He did not mean to say that the English constitution was absolutely perfect, any more than any other human institution. So far from it, he thought the electoral franchise might be extended in one or two points. For example, it appeared to him that the franchise might properly be extended to the class of lodgers many of whcm paid £4O to £5O, and even £lOO a year. If any practical measure to embrace that class within the sphere of the constitution were brought forward he should be willing to support it. He was certainly opposed to any attempt to lower the franchise, although he most heartily wished to see some of the working classes within the pale of the franchise—he meant that class that com prised sober, industrious, and saving men. But these men, if they pleased, could secure a vote under the present system. A person residing outside a borough, having saved £5O, might invest that sum in a freehold land society, where he would get better interest than in the savings bank, and at the same time obtain the qualification entitling him to vote for a representative in Parliament. And it was still easier for a man living in a borough to obtain the franchise. He (Mr. Brodrick) joined issue with the Chancellor of the Ex chequer when he called the franchise a right to be exercised, and not a privilege. He considered it to be a premium for the industrious, intelligent, and sober man, and not a gift to be thrown away on every reckless drunkard. He had the highest respect for Lord Palmerston, but not for his Govern ment. The noble lord had shown himself to be one of the best Conservatives by the tact and ability with which he had conducted the affairs of the country for the last three years, at all events. But Lord Palmerston was now an old man and it was impossible that he could live many years longer, to guide the destinies of this great country. Who was to suc ceed him ? He (Mr. Brodricle) never would support such a shifting politician as the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He could never follow a statesman who avowed himself in favour of Paine's " Rights of Man," and an enemy to the Irish Church. He could not give his adhesion to such a man as Earl Russell, who deluded Poland and deserted the Danes and the Schleswig-Holstein people, retiring like a craven hound from the professions which ho had made. (Cheers.) He would never bo the man who, like their late representative, would go into the lobby for the purpose of whitewashing a Lord Chancellor. (Hear, hear.) The Conservatives might take courage from the political events that had just happened: Although the people of Tiverton had acted properly in returning once more Lord Palmerston to Parliament, they had given him a Conservative as a colleague, instead, of a so-called Liberal. There wore four prominent members of the Government sent by their respective constituencies about their business, and the hopeful son of Earl Russell had just been well beaten by the independent electors of Leeds. Those were signs of the times well worthy of observa tion. He had nothing to say of Mr. Locke King or Mr. Buxton in their private characters. The former appeared to have learned nothing, and to have forgotten nothing during the last 17 years he represented East Surrey in Parliament, but was prepared to disregard everything that he might be able to indulge in his ono crotchet. Mr. Buxton said he solicited the support of tho consti tuency as an old and tried member ; but he omitted to show them how he was an old and tried member. Abou' ten years ago he was elected by the constituency of New port. But after a brief experience they sent him about his business. He next induced the constituency of Maid stone to look with favour upon him, but after a little time they also were glad to get rid of him. He (Mr. Brodrick) did not hesitate to call Mr. Buxton the nominee of Mr. Locke King. (Cries of "No, no.") They called themselves the supporters of Lord Palmerston, and yet they had voted repeatedly against the noble lord's government. In solicit ing the support of the electors of East Surrey he (Mr. Brodrick) had no private ends to serve. Whether he lost or won his services would still be heartily at their disposal. He had retired from the profession to which he had been much attached, and at which he had not been unsuccessful. His whole energies would be devoted to them. If the pro mises given to him and his friend were kept he had not the smallest doubt but they would stand in the proud position of being their representatives at the conclusion of the poll. The hon. gentleman concluded amid general cheering, by thanking the electors for the reception they had given him. Mr. PEEK then proceeded to address the meeting. He echoed many of the sentiments expressed by Mr. Brodrick, and made a similar exposition of his political opinions. In reference to the 'question of reform he said he could not help thinking that that cry proclaimed the condemnation of many of those who uttered it, inasmuch as they said that a certain thing should be done which was not done by them whilst possessing the power of accomplishing it. He therefore thought it but fair to suppose that such men were not the proper persons to be entrusted any longer with parliamentary power, because they had a sufficient majority to support them if they really wished for reform.. (Hear, hear.) It was evident that they were not really in earnest, and that it was but a hollow cry for reform they raised. He considered the bankruptcy laws as a great blot upon our statute book. It appeared for the last two years there were 16,000 bankrupts in England and Wales, 13,000 of whom did not pay a penny in the pound, whilst £200,000 was ex pended in carrying their estates through the court. In reply to questions from electors, Mr. Brodrick and Mr. Peek severally declared their opposition to the abolition of church rates, unless some other measure was adopted for supporting the fabric of the Church. They also avowed themselves favourable to the ostabishment of many more polling places than at pre sent existed for each division of the county. Mr. BRODRICK said that a paper had just been put into his hand containing this very extraordinary question : "Will you support a measure for withholding half-pay from majors in the army when absent from duty for more than six months 2" He said he was at a loss t o k now what what was the reason for the writer's antipathy to the poor majors in the army. In reply he would say, he should be exceedingly sorry to be a party to the depriving of those officers of the paltry half-pay, or scarcely £l5O a year, after a 20 years' service in perhaps the most distant parts of the world. Mr. PEEK said ho had been asked the following question in writing :—" Her Majesty's Government having reduced the duty upon tea, are you prepared to support a measure to reduce her Majesty's income according to the consump tion of the article iu the royal establishments ? " (Laugh ter.) He bogged to inform tho querist that he was not prepared to do anything of the kind. No other gentlemen being proposed, Mr. W. EvILL, jun., moved, and Mr. DIVES seconded, the following resolution :—" That having heard the ad drosses of the Hon. W. Brodrick and Mr. Henry W. Peek, it is the opinion of this meeting that they are fit and proper persons to represent this constituency in Parliament." Carried by general acclamation. The proceedings then terminated by a resolution of thanks to the chairman.

Pottinger, who died recently in New South Wales, after holding for some time the humble posi tion of inspector of police, during which time he was mainly occupied in fruitless attempts to capture notorious bush rangers, was of higher and more ancient origin than many of the nobility of England at the present time can claim, being veritably aroyal saxon. In latteryearsthe distinction of the family rests briefly on the eminent services performed by the father of the deceased, Sir Henry Pottinger, in India, for which he was created a baronet in 1839. Previ ously, from the time of the Conquest, the family were com moners ; but from time to time several members distin guished themselves in the army and navy. The great dis tinction of the family, however, consists in the fact that they are descendants of Egbert, the first Saxon king of all England, and grandfather a Alfred the Great. The de ceased, Sir F. W. Pottinger, was the 82d in lineal descent from that sovereign- The Pottingers, of Mount Potsinger, near Belfast, in Ireland, are descended from a common an cestor with the Pottingers of Berkshire, who have been seated in that county since the Conquest. The elder branch settled in Ireland at a very early period. Thomas Pottinger was the first sovereign of Belfast, elected on the grant of a corporation to that town in 1661. His son Edward, who was captain in the royal navy, had the honour of convey ing William 111. to Ireland. Sailing the day after landing his Majesty, to intercept ships coming from France with supplies for James, he was lost, with all his ship's crew, in the Dartmouth, man of war, on the night of Ott. 8, 1690. Thomas Pottinger, brother of Edward, was also sovereign of Belfast and high sheriff of the county when King Wil liam landed in that part of Ireland. He sold part of his estates, and raised money and supplies to assist the royal cause. Thomas was succeeded in the estate by his son Joseph Pottinger, R.N., who married the sister of Thomas, tho sixth Earl of Dundonald, and grandniece of James, the second Marquis of Montrose. He was succeeded by his son Thomas, whose eldest son, Edwin Gurwen Pottinger, married in 1779, Anne, daughter of Mr. Robert Gordon, of Florida House, County Down, by whom he had eight sons and throe daughters. Henry, the fifth son, went to India as cadet in 1804, and became a lieutenant-general in the service of the East India Company, and for his valuable services in civil departments in India was created a baronet. In 1840 he was sent out to China, with pleniPotentiary powers to arrange terms of peace, which he salisfactelily accomplished. In 1820 ho married Miss Cooke, daughter of Mr. Richard Cooke, of Dublin, and by whom he had three sons and one daughter. The hest son, Eldred Elphinstone, died in infancy, and con,seqdently the second son, Frederick William, succeeded to the istate and honours; and he dying without issue, the title and property descends to the third son Henry, who was born on the 10th June, 1834, and is therefore now in his 31st year.—S,ydney Empire. BUST OF THE LATE RICHARD COBDEN.—Monsieur Adolphe Megret has finished a bust of the late Mr. Cobden, which partakes of an ideal character, and is in some respects a commendable work. The details are treated with feeling, but the likeness is far from strong, doubtless ow ing to the fact of the sculptor nothavinigi reliedhadth on the ad vantage of knowing Mr. Cobden, and halin photogaphs for the features and charutteristic expression of the original. The bust is now en view at Mr. Claudet's Photographic' Gallery, 107, Regent-street, SPORTING INTEL GIGENOB—This_Day. CITY BETTMG—Tins DAY.
