T he commercial public did not gene expect a change, and no surprise has been evoked at the protracted maintenance of the quota tion • , but a reduction in the interest of trade is nevertheless desired, and the time is not considered far distant When an amelioration can with due pro priety be conceded. The restrictions which so high a rate of di scount impose upon business hare neces sitated a great curtailment of operations, and the demand for accommodation upon mercantile paper Is therefore comparatively small. The quotations of the brokers remain firm at 8 per cent. for the best short-dated bills. At the Bank of England yesterday there was an Influx of £40,000 in bar gold. CThe general meeting of the St. James's Hotel ompany will be held on Saturd a y n e x t, w he n the dividend of 10 per cent. will be recommended. The report of the _directors of the London and suburban Land and Building Company has been Is sued prior to the meeting of shareholders on the 2d of August. The dividend and bonus proposed ni at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, with a large balance of profit to be carried forward. The Ripon has arrived from Alexandria with 15;000, and the Bremen, from New York, with £54,000. Two o'CLock. At the Paris Bourse, this morning, according to Reuter's telgram, the 3 per cent.

An advance of per cent has taken place in the market for the English Funds, Consols being 8 81 for money, [and 881 for the 9th proximo.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET-(THIS DAY). Joseph Brown was charged. with stone -throwing in Hyde Park. Inspector Green, A division, was in Hyde Park yester day afternoon, and saw the prisoner throwing stones at the police. The prisoner was seized by a gentleman (the Hon. Arthur Annesley), and banded over to the police. The Hon. Arthur Annesley, of 15, Victoria-square, Grosvenor-place, was in Hyde Perk, and saw the prisoner throw a stone at the police. He seized the prisoner and handed him over to the police. The prisoner said he had been ill-treated by the police and struck on the head. Mr. Knox inquired how the prisoner's head was injured? The Hon. Arthur Annesley said the prisoner kicked him, and he struck the prisoner with his stick. Henry Reeve, 387 A, saw the stone thrown by the pri soner, and it was meant for him (the constable). It missed him, and he picked it up. (The constable produced the stone.) Mr. Knox said throwing stones was a most unmanly and brutal thing, and it was a mercy that several of the police had not lost their lives. He only wished that the public had had the manliness to do what Capt. Annesley had done, and he considered the public were indebted to him. The prisoner would have to pay 40s. or a month. John Hicks, a boy, was charged with stone throwing. Sergeant Isaacson, 2 D, was in the park yesterday after noon. As the police were retiring some trees wore set on fire, and there was some stone throwing. He saw the pri soner throw a stone, and took him into custody, and found a large stone in his pocket. Prisoner denied throwing a stone or having ono in his pocket. Mr. Knox said if the prisoner was roughly handled amongst a crowd of such persons as had assembled in the park, it was no more than he might have expected. He should fine the prisoner 40s. or a month. John Watts was charged with stone throwing. Lane, 158 0, saw the prisoner throw three stones. Mr. Knox said he wondered that decent people in the park, who saw stone throwing, did not themselves take the persons doing it into custody. Earl, 157 A, saw the prisoner throw some stones and then run away. Re pursued the prisoner some distance and took him into custody. On doing so he said, " Don't strike me." Mr. Knox—Had you done so ? Constable—No, sir. Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 40s. or a month. Michael Tracey was charged as follows :—Snedmore 386 A, saw the prisoner and others throwing stones yes- ' terday afternoon, about half-past three. After the prisoner had thrown three times he took. up a half a brick and threw it at him, and it struck him on the breast. On going up to take him into custody he set to kicking him on the legs and made use of bad ,language. With assist ance he was taken into custody.. Mr. Knox—flow far was he from you ? Constable— A few yards. Mr. Knox—Had you struck the constable on the fore head you might have been standing at the Old Bailey on a trial for your life. If you think these acts are to be done with impunity you are mistaken. You will go to prison for two months with hard labour. George Bromage was charged with disorderly conduct and throwing stones. Sergeant Isaacson, 2 D, saw the prisoner with about 40 lads and meunear some trees on fire. As the police went up to disperse them, he saw prisoner and others stone throw ing. He then took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner denied having thrown a stone, or taken any part in the stone throwing, and called a witness (Den nis Leary), who said that while with the prisoner and some others talking to a man who had been injured the pre vious night by the police the constable rushed up and took the prisoner into custody, the prisoner never having thrown a stone, and having his hands in his pocket at the time. The prisoner's brother was called by him, and he swore that the prisoner never threw any stones. Mr. Knox called the sergeant, and, in answer to ques tions put by Mr. Knox, the sergeant said he was positive the prisoner threw stones. The prisoner said the constable had not told the truth. Mr. Knox said if that was the case the constable could be indicted for perjury. He should fine the prisoner 40s. or a month. Specks, 121 D, was inside the Marble-arch about five yesterday evening, and at that time a large section of police was marching out of the park. Prisoner said, " There goes the last of the -- butchers—vow's your time." A female was detained by the police, and prisoner cried out, " Here, the police butchers have got a female here.' At the time he was surrounded by a number of boys, some of whom had stones in their hands. Prisoner called out, " Now's your time," and took his hand out of his pocket and held it up, and he thought prisoner had a stone in his hand, but he had not. On taking the prisoner into cus tody he said that he was very sorry. In answer to the charge the prisoner said he never intended to throw stones, that he was rather excited, and perhaps he said too much. The prisoner said he was a respectable mechanic. Mr. Knox said he could see that, and that made him the more surprised to see him where he was. The prisoner said he saw constables knocking a man about, and he said " What a shame ;" and afterwards, at the Marble Arch, seeing a woman in custody, he said, "Here's a woman in custody," and he was then locked up. As for making use of the bad word alleged, he did not do so, and never made use of a profane word. The constable must have been mistaken. Mr. Knox was glad to hear what the prisoner said, as it was so different to what he had heard from the persons he had had before him, and he wished to ask him if he did not think what had occurred of late a disgrace to London. The prisoner said he did. Mr. Knox said he was glad to hear a person of the pri soner's description saying so. If decent mechanics would keep out of the place, and leave the police and the ruffians to settle the matter, there would soon be an end of it. It was on such men as the prisoner, decent mechanics, who worked for their living, that they relied for the preservation of the peace of the town, and who were as much interested in its preservation as any one. He had been dealing with cases of idle boys who had been doing all sorts of damage and splitting persons heads open as ordinary police cases, but if the matter went on, and there were more of them, the end of it would be that they would be sent down to the sessions in batches, where they would get six months or much heavier sentences.. As he believed the prisoner to be a person of a very different class to those he had had be fore him he would deal leniently with him, and should order him to enter into a surety of £lO to be of good behaviour. Margaret Stocker was charged with assault. Windall, 217 A, saw the prisoner at the Marble Arch, and as she was disorderly he requested her to go away. She refused, and struck him in the face. Earl, 157 A, said the prisoner, while he was taking Watts into custody, followed, inciting the crowd by say ing, "Look at the fellows; why don't you take him away from them ?" This caused a large mob, and he had to draw his truncheon. She told the people to throw stones at the police. The prisoner was very violent. Mr. Knox—Was the prisoner used roughly ? Constable—No, sir. Mr. Rogers appeared for the prisoner, instructed by the Reform League, and pleaded in mitigation of punishment. Mr. Knox—This is the first woman I have had before me. Did they take any part in the matter ? Inspector Green, A Division, said they did, and that there were large numbers of them in the park each day. Mr. Knox said he should have thought women would have exercised their influence with their husbands and brothers to keep them away from the park. Mr. Knox said he would not under the circumstances deal heavily with the prisoner ; she will have to pay 10s. or 7 days. Alfred Byot was charged with throwing stones and assaulting Wyatt, 364 A. Wyatt said the prisoner threw a stone, and on taking him into custody he kicked him. Head, 201 1), went to the assistance of Wyatt and saw prisoner kicking Wyatt. In answer to Mr. Rogers, who appeared for the prisoner, the constable said he only saw one stone thrown. The prisoner was not very violent. Mr. Rogers called Mr. Jordan, a cigar merchant, who said he was in the park yesterday to see what destruction had taken place. Saw prisoner in custody of three con stables, and one of them behind, 364 A, kicked the prisoner. He asked the constable his name, and he said "Bs off, or I'll lock you up," and not wishing to be locked up ho went away. 364 A denied kicking the prisoner. Mr. Knox supposed there was groat confusion. Mr. Jordan—Sir, there was- Mr. Knox said he was afraid the prisoner threw the stone. He would ask the prisoner to see what had been done. A parcel of blackguardly ruffians had thrown stones and done immense damage, and disturbed the peace of the town. He would take into consideration tho little rough treat ment he might have received in being taken into custody. He would not do as he had done in some cases, merely send the prisoner to prison without the option of pay ing a fine, but he would have to pay 40s. or a month for the stone throwing, and a fine of .£5 or a month for the as sault on the constable. James Costello was charged with throwing stones. Chorley, 392 A, proved seeing the prisoner throw stones at two constables. A. woman at the back of the court said the prisoner was silly. Mr. Knox said prisoner had sense enough to go into the park and throw stones at the constables. He will have to pay 40s. or a month ANOTHER STATUE OF PRINCE ALBERT.

A WARNING TO DRUNKARDS.—Catherine Donovan and William Pettigrew were brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with being drunk and disorderly last night in High-street, Wapping. Charles Francis, policeman, stated that he was returning from duty after seven o'clock last night, and saw Petti grew (a soldier in the Royal Artillery), lying upon the ground helplessly drunk, and with his uniform torn. He raised him from the ground, and was leading him to the station, when the female came up and spat in his face. She abused him, and attempted to strike him. He then took her into custody. The soldier came from Netley Hospital on Tuesday with a comrade, and while drunk he was rob bed of his boots and money, and the boots ho now had on were new ones, and he was likely to lose them also if he did not keep sober. The soldier's comrade, with whom ho was drinking, was drowned, and his body was found this morning on the hard near New Crane Stores, Shadwell, by Inspector Taylor of the Thames police. The female prisoner said she always lost her senses when she had the dhrop taken. Mr. Woolrych —Most people do lose their senses when they become intoxicated. Your conduct was very offen sive. Pettigrew said he had been drinking with his comrade, who was missing. Mr. Woolrych—Yes, he is drowned. Pettigrew—l am sorry for that, Sir. I will keep sober, your worship. Mr. Wool;ych—The fate of your unfortunate comrade ought to be a warning to you. "He has been serving his country in the Ca.pe of Good Hope and other places, and when he comes home from the Cape he. gets drunk and is drowned. Take warning by his fate. You are discharged. The woman Donovan is fined 55., and in default of pay ment a week's impriwonment. Olympic Theatre. Actors and Amateurs having fraternised, the doors of this house were thrown open on Tuesday, the 24th inst., and a Soirée Dramatique given to• upwards of 500 fashionables, who were fortunate enough to receive cards of invitation. The pieces selected were--" To Parents and Guardians," " Still Waters Run Deep," and " The Rough Dia mond." Mr. Horace Wigan sustained the role of Monsieur Tourbillon, the French usher, in the first piece, and, we need scarcely say, played the part to perfection. The character of Waddilove was undertaken by Mr. P. Head, an amateur who managed to keep the house convulsed with laughter by his great comic humour. Miss E. Warren was the Bob Nettles, and Miss Alice Austin the Virginie. In " Still Waters Run Deep" Mr. P. Morton was the John Mildmay, and displayed a very fine concep tion of the Lancashire lad, whilst his father-in-law, the eccentric Mr. Potter, was played by Mr. Leinster. The acting of this gentleman in the scene, where he is waiting to receive the company, and takes up a Bradshaw to pass away the time, was excellent. Mr. Montague was a capital Hawkesley ; Miss Lydia Foote made the most of Mrs. Mildmay, while Mrs. St. Henry was quite at home in Mrs. Stern hold. The piece throughout was exceedingly well played, and really which were actors and which were amateurs was a difficult task for the unini tiated to discover. In " The Rough Diamond" the Margery of Miss Farren, and Cousin Joe of Mr. F. Head, appeared to delight the audience. The band, which was entirely composed of amateurs, was entirely under the direction of Mr. Wilhelm Vandervell, who is already known to the public as a composer of many pleasing melodies, played a charming collection of music between the acts. Every credit is due to the promoters of this Dra matic Union for the manner in which they carried out the entertainment. Nothing appeared to have been forgotten that might have added to the enjoy ment of the visitors. In the saloon champagne, ices, and every description of refreshment were at their disposal.

THE REFORM DEMONSTRATION IN HYDE PARK. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether the statement made by Mr. Beales, the chairman of the Reform League, as to the correspon dence between him and the Secretary for the Home De partment, in reference to the proposed Reform demonstra tion in Hyde-park, which appeared in the public journals, was correct ? The Earl of DERBY said that the accounts which ap peared in the daily papers were quite correct, and he availed himself of that opportunity of disabusing the public mind of some erroneous impressions in respect to this very important subject. His right hon. friend the Secretary for the Home Department was responsible for the preser vation of the public peace, and the proposed demonstration on the part of those who had taken up certain views on the subject of Reform were in his opinion calculated to lead to a breach of the peace. His right hon. friend had communicated with Mr. Beales, and as the legal question raised had not been decided by the law authorities of the Crown, it was understood between Mr. Beales and the Home Secretary that there should be no meeting in Hyde park on Monday evening. However, that arrangement had not been carried out. He could assure the house that there was no disposition on the part of the Government to interfere with any constitutional privilege of the public in giving expression to the opinions they had entertained on any , particular subject. (Hear.) Reverting to the communication between the Home Secretary and Mr. Beales, he expressed his regret that the latter gentle man bad laboured under some misunderstanding, and that the disorder which had prevailed on Monday evening should have taken place. The Secretary of State for the Home Department had acted under the direction of the law officers of the Crown, and he contended that the course pursued by Government was justified by the circumstances of the case. STANDING ORDERS. Lord REDESDALE moved the suspension of the re solution of the 25th June last, viz. :—" That no private bill brought from the House of Commons shall be read a second time after Friday, the 6th of July, in respect to the Millwall Canal Company Bill. The motion was agreed to. Some other orders of the day were than disposed of. LLEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins DAT. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' Amendments to the North Eastern Railway (Leeds and Wetherby Branch) Bill were considered and agreed to, and the bill was read a third time and passed. The following bills with amendments were considered, and ordered for third reading : —Bute Docks, Cardiff ; Car marthen and Cardigan Railway, Midland Railway (Branches, (Lc.), North Metropolitan Railway, Wearlale and Shildon District Water Bill. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —East India Irrigation and Canal, Madras Irrigation and Canal, Rawson's Estate, and Sutherland- Walker's Estate. On the motion of Mr. C. FORSTER, the order for the second reading of the Dagenham Dock Railways Bill was discharged, and the bill was withdrawn. THE GOVERNMENT DOCKYARDS. On the motion for going into committee of supply on the Naval Supplementary Estimates, Mr. SEELY called the attention of the House to the general administration and to the accounts of her Majesty's dockyards, and the two returns, Nos. 465 and 465 1, dated the 4th day of July, 1865, and moved the following reso lutions :—" 1. That the course pursued in paving the road ways, workshops, and other places in the dockyards with iron ballast was inexpedient. 2. That anchors are pro vided for the use of her Majesty's navy without a due re gard to economy. 3. That the manner in which the affairs of the dockyards have been managed in these and other re spects renders it desirable that the superintendents should be possessed of a practical knowledge of the business car ried on therein, and that it is also desirable that their term of office should not be limited to a terra of 5 years." The hon. member then entered into details to prove that the expen diture on the vessels constructed and repaired in the Go vernment dockyards was extravagant. That statement of things was not denied by the late Admiralty authorities, but they promised to remedy it ; yet ho did not see any dis position on their part while in office to make any improve ments in the existing system. Ho thought that there should be something on the face of Government accounts to show exactly the financial position in which the Government works were, which desideratum was not supplied under the present system. He trusted that, as there was a transfer of authority on the part of the Admiralty, that the present First Lord of that important department of the public service (Sir J. Peking ton) would introduce those alterations in the accounts which would represent the actual position of the naval Government works, and which had been adopted in a sister department of the public service. He instituted a comparison between the manner in which Government works were carried out in the dockyards and by indi vidual enterprite, which was much in favour of the latter both as to economy and efficiency. He then described the inaccuracies in which the military accounts were kept, which exhibited clearly the position in which that branch of the public service was placed, and he could not understand why a similar system of accounts should not be introduced in the naval department of the public ser vice. He referred to the fact that a vessel called the Frederick William had been constructed in one of the Government dockyards last year at an excess of £147,000 more than she could be built for in a private dockyard. The hon. member then proceeded to contend that the de fects in the Government works of the naval department were so glaring that they were actually disgraceful. He referred to the construction of the anchors manufactured in the Government works, and called the authority of Captain Sullivan and other competent persons to show that they were much inferior to those produced by private manufacturers. He said that the personal and practical supervision which was carried out in private estab lishments was wanting in the Government dockyards, and until that was supplied there would be a most serious requirement in the public service which was disreputable to a great maritime country like England. (Hear.) He read extracts from letters from American and naval officers with a view to confirm his statement as to the inefficiency of the naval department of the public service so far as related to the operations of tho dockyards. Sir J. PAKINGTON said that he made no complaint of the manner in which the last speaker had brought the subject before the house, and he only regretted that his present tenure of office was too brief to enable him to follow the hon. gentleman through all the details into which he had entered. He considered that the house and the country were indebted to the hon. member (Mr. Seely) for the speech which he had just delivered, and which, in the materials of which it was composed, necessarily in volved a large amount of labour on the part of the hon. gentleman. He took exceptions to some of the statements e of the hon. gentleman, for instance, such as payieglccleceobslt. for repairs of a boat to what its construction wou ld He thought there must be a good i mis n n nde re r s s p ta e n n d t in t g n o th n in the au p d art for he had made in the course of his observations,otohferthestahtoemnoeundrtaesbeivhniiomber as top ermit considered that no branch of the be so neglectful of their duty ith thegentleman mentioned.

Mr. WATKINS expressed his hope that the right hon. baronet (Sir J. Pakington) would introduce all the im provements that were necessary to 1r vsmtei:n. e d u:r e P havingcc t give efficiency to the working m r rr . o f G t . h e B G A o R v I e N r Government e d n e t f e d n o d c e k d y dockyard s .

Thea view to sh ow that hon, gentleman there was no ground for imputing neglect to the execu tive, who had been entrusted of late years with the admi nistration of n ava l a ff a i rs. He denied that there was any fairness in the comparison which had been made by the hon. member (Mr. Seely) as regarded the relative cost of works produced in private and Government dockyards, because the articles were different. He ridiculed the idea of any parsimonious spirit being resorted to in the regu lation of the Government dockyards or other military esta blishments of the country. Col. SYKES congratulated the hon. member (Mr. Seely) on the industry and ability he had displayed in re ference to this subject, and was glad that the hon. member seemed disposed to follow in a particular department the footsteps of the late Mr. Joseph Hume, who at present had no successor in the house. The arrangement adopted in the naval department in France was superior to that in our own country, and the expenditure was clearly shown. Mr. SA.MUDA expressed his approval of the views of the hon. member who had brought the subject before the house (Mr. Seely) in a speech of considerable ability. What they required in the department of the Govern ment dockyards was a simplification of the accounts, such as was adopted in private establishments, which enabled a person at once to see his financial position. He referred to matters which had come under his own observation in his business experience, to . show that a great improvement was necessary in the manapment of the Government dockyards. After somo discussion in which Mr. Childers, Mr. M'Laren, and Mr. Henley took part, Mr. SEELY withdrew his amendment. The house then suspended . the sitting until 6 o'clock, when it resumed.
