liIONEi kARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market to-day is firm, but quiet; the inquiries being limited, and the supplies ample for all legitimate commercial purposes. There was an influx of gold at the Bank yester day of 24,000 sovereigns, from Alexandria. Two o'CLocK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the French Rentes were 68f. 25c. Very excited. The Stock Exchange Markets have closed heavily through sales to close successful " Bull" operations. The tone of business, however, continues good, but it will not be a settled state of affairs until full confidence is reposed in Continental politics and money becomes easier. Moreover, it should be borne in mind that the proverbially dull season is at hand. The quietude witnessed to day is therefore not surprising. Consols have closed a t 87 1 for transfer, and at 87 for the account, but the transactions have been limited. The de cline is 8 per cent. The transactions in the Foreign Market have not been very extensive. Turkish 5 per Cents. have declined to 281 29i ; Italian 5 per Cents. (1861) to 51 1 52 ; ditto (1865) to 63 64 ; while Alexican stock has improved to 151- 16, and Spanish Passive to 198 20. In the Railway Share Market a fair amount of business has been transacted, and prices generally exhibit little change of importance. Great Eastern close at 30i 31i ; Great Western, at 52 i ; Lancashire and Yorkshire at 1221 123 ; Lon don) Chatham, and Dover, 20 22 ; and South- Eastern, 69 70. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain at about previous rates. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are quiet. Alli ance are marked 23i ; Consolidated, 5i 4 ; Imperial Ottoman, Bi, s ; London and Westminster, 93 i ; Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England, 1 dis. ; General Credit 1i dis. and National Discount Company, at 7f 8f prem.

The scheme of overland telegraphic communica tion between China and Europe via Russian Asia is being got rapidly into working order, and it is believed that Shanghai will shortly be within twenty days' telegraphic co mmunication of London. BARBAROUS DEVICE OF THE SPANIARDS. --- NARROW ESCAPE OF TUE STEAMER " WATEREE " PROM BEING BLOWN Ur.—The United States steamer Wateree narrowly escaped total destruction in the harbour of Callao. They picked up a launch loaded with coal shortly after the bombardment, and after tarn Pauldin having it i n t ow two days, Cap g ordered the coal to ibe tak en on b oard, direct lng that if th any inquiries should be m a d e after the lost aunch, e owner, when were about sixt een t ons of En found, sh ou l d be paid. There of fuel made f rom coal dust glish c ompressed coal, a kind and tar i nto square bloc from e i g ht t o twelve inches in diamet er . After the Wateree h a d t a k en thi s coal on board, and a quantity of it had been thrown into the furnaces, one of the firemen happened to break open a block, and found in it a loaded six -pounder shell. Other blocks were opened with a similar result, and the fires were immediately extinguished. In the coal which had been put in the furnace were found four loaded shell, all of which when taken out were so hot that they could not be handled except on a shovel, Th ere Were also found in the coal, in addition to a great number of shells, several soda water bottles, filled with fulminating mercury. But for the timely discovery made by one of the Bremen the boilers of the Wateree would have been tor n Out, and her magazine undoubtedly exploded, destroying every one on board. Upon investigation it was found that the coal had been fixed up when the Spaniards Were here in the winter of 1864 and 1865, and that it had been set adrift, to be picked up by some of the frigates, all of Which by this time must be short of fuel.

Wilde and a Common Jury.) GERRARD V. GERRARD AND BLUNDREL. Mr. Browne and Mr. Searle appeared for the petitioner, Mr. Inderwick for the respondent, and Dr. Spinks for the co-respondent. The petitioner is a schoolmaster in Staffordshire, and petitioned the court for a dissolution of marriage with his wife on the ground of her adultery with the co-respondent, who is a beorhouse keeper. The respondent denied the adultery, and the co-respondent, in additional to denial, further pleaded cruelty on the part of the petitioner. The petitioner and respondent were married in the middle of 1864, but separated in the beginning of 1865. The adultery charged was alleged on the 31st of May in the latter year, at the house of a butcher named Johnson, who lived some distance from Henley. Mary Roberts, a married woman and daughter of John son, deposed that she was staying at her father's on the 31st of May, 1865, and about 7 o'clock in the morning she saw Mrs. Gerrard and Mr. Blundrel sitting together on the sofa in the drawing-room, and later in the day she saw them in a bed room together. In the course of cross-examination by Dr. Spinks it was elicited that they had all been drinking freely together during the day. Rebecca Johnson gave some corroborative evidence, and said that the respondent told her several times that her husband was very kind to her, but she had no opportuni ties of judging of the terms on which they lived, as she did not visit at their house. Mrs. Gerrard had complained that she was short of money at the end of May, 1865. When respondent and co-respondent came to her house on the morning in question they were both the worse for drink, and she had heard that they had been out all night drink ing together. Rebecca Johnson, a barmaid at the Roebuck public house at Fosbroke, where the co-respondent resided, proved that ono day in May, 1865, he came to the house accom panied by the respondent, and they remained in the bar parlour for about an hour. She served them with brandy and water, and now she recollected that it was the 31st of May, because it was two days after Maypole-day. Some other witnesses were also called for the petitioner's case. The jury found a verdict for the defendants. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. RESISTING THE POLICE AT HER MAZESTTS THEATRE.- Sergeant M'Huge, 4 A, said he was on duty at her Majesty's Theatre yesterday evening about six o'clock, there being a large attendance, and in consequence a large number of servants present. To prevent confusion a place was set apart at the theatre, by the Commissioner of Police, for servants to wait in, but the defendant refused to go there, and stood at the door. He told the defendant that if he did not obey the regulations ho should have to remove him, but he still re fused, and on attempting to remove him he resisted a good deal, and caused all the servants to come out, and in consequence created great disorder. He then took the defendant into custody. _ _ _ In answer to Mr. Knox, the sergeant said the defendant had been drinking. _ _ Police-constable, 559 A, corroborated the sergeant. The defendant said he was treated very roughly by the sergeant, thrown down, and his clothes Wer3 torn. The sergeant denied this, stating that the defendant's clothes were torn through his resisting being taken into custody. Mr. Knox said he did not believe the defendant, and he should fine him 10s. or 7 days. THAMES. A FEMALE SAVAGE.—Catherine Moylan, 22, a married woman, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with assaulting Ellen Kay. The parties live in an Irish colony in Well-street, Poplar, the scene of many a row. The complainant and the prisoner's mother were quarelling, and they confined themselves to mutual verbal abuse, but the prisoner interfered, and with a brick inflicted a severe wound on the head of the complainant, who had to be taken to the hospital. She appeared in court very pale, and with her head bandaged. Mr. Paget commented in severe terms on the brutality of the prisoner, and sentenced her to two months' imprison ment with hard labour. HALF SEAS OVER.—THE PUBLICAN AND THE SAILOR. —Jacob Burnham, a young sun-dried and weatherbeaten sailor, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with as saulting Mr. Edward Marklow, the landlord of the Lebeck's Head, at 20 minutes past 12 o'clock last night, while in a s ate of intoxication, and demanded some grog. Mr. Mark low refused to supply him with any, and requested him to leave, as the house was about to be closed. The prisoner objected, and said ho would not leave without his grog. Ho made a great disturbance, and it was found necessary to eject him by force. Mr. Marklow had no sooner done so than the prisoner seized him by the throat, and said ho would choke him. He compressed his throat till he was black in tho face, and then tripped him up on the pave ment. Mr. Marklow fell heavily, and was suffering from the fall. Tho prisoner on being asked what he had to say in d fence expressed his sorrow for what he had done, and said he was half seas over last night. Mr. Paget —You have hurt this man, who very properly refused to serve you. The prisoner—Yes, sir; I was three sheets in the wind. I have only just come home in the Bride from the East Indies. Mr. Paget fined the prisoner 405., and in default 14 days' imprisonment. He paid the fine. MARKET S.---This Day. COVENT GARDEN. With both fruit and vegetables the market is well sup plied.

The groans and yells pf the Opposition surpassed anything he had ever heard at out-dcor demonstrations, and an American gen tleman whom he introduced into the house on one occasion declared that he had never witnessed such a scene across the Atlantic. Members came in at about ten o'clock, having, he presumed, been dining —(laughter)—and the noise and interruptions which took place when anything was said by Mr. Gladstone or others in defence of the working classes were of so disgraceful a character that he hoped for the credit of the house they would never recur. The Marquis of Hartington was howled at as soon as he rose to reply to a violent speech from the other side, and he himself, though he seldom troubled the house on questions not connected with his own department, spoke under the greatest diffi culties he ever experienced, storms of howls and shouts being kept up throughout. Mr. Mill, though a man of world-wide reputation, would have been similarly treated, had not the leaders of the party, thinking that it would be too great a scandal, given the order that he was to be allowed to speak with out interruption, but being forbidden to use their voices, and being incapable of appreciating his arguments, they left the House during his address. After urging that Lord Dunkellin's amendment was fatal to the bill, Mr. Layard stated that though many men of high authority were in favour of a dissolution, the Government refrained from taking that course, believing that it would have caused the country great inconvenience, and might have re tarded the cause of Reform. Noticing the criticisms passed on popular demonstrations, the hon, gentle man remarked that a more orderly gathering than one which he recently beheld he never witnessed, it being composed mainly of working men. No doubt a few roughs and idle boys were present, but he was very sorry to say there was some of these in the House of Commons. (Cheers.) He concluded by criticising the opinion on foreign affairs held by the Conservative leaders, and by urging the working classes to show their earnest determination to obtain a measure of Reform.

A horse recently jumped over the rail at a race course and seriously hurt a young man. While he was lying on the grass, another young man uttered a piercing cry, and exclaimed, "My brother, my poor brother !" He flung himself on the prostrate form, from which he was at length kindly and gently raised, while the injured man was taken away to receive medical care. it afterwards transpired that the affectionate creature who flung him.- self on the body of his brother had done so to steal his gold watch and chain, and portmonnaie. A Parisian has conceived the notion of opening an exhibition, at ten centimes a head, to show a million of money spread out in gold pieces. He thinks he will have a rush of visitors, as the curiosity to know what a million is like is universal. Last year 365,000,000 eggs were imported from the Continent and from Ireland into Great Britain. During the current year the number imported has been daily on the increase. In May last it exceeded 56,000,000. Esti mating the value of imported eggs at 6s. per 120, those im ported in 1865 must have sold for upwards of three millions sterling. The Home Joitrnal states that there are, on the average, four or five thousand prosperous Americans, temporarily or permanently residing in England. THE CESSION OF VENETIA. According to the announcement of the Moniteur, the Emperor of Austria cedes Venetia to France ou the basis of " the idea expressed in the Emperor Napoleon's letter of the 11th June." Subjoined is the communication referred to : " Palace of the Tuileries, June 11. " M. le Ministre—At the moment when the hopes of peace which the meeting of the Conference made us conceive seem to be vanishing, it is essential to explain in a circular to the diplomatic agents abroad the ideas which my Government contemplated pre senting in the Councils of Europe, and the conduct it means to follow in the presence of the events which are preparing. This communication will place our policy in its true light. " Had the Conference taken place, your lan guage, as you are aware, would have been explicit. You were to declare in my name that I repudiated all idea of territorial aggrandisement, so long as the equilibrium of Europe was not disturbed. In effect, we could not think of an extension of our frontiers except in case of the map of Europe being remodelled for the exclusive benefit of a great Power, and of the conterminous provinces demanding by votes freely expressed their annexa tion to France. " Outside these circumstances, I think it more worthy of our country to prefer to the acquisition of territory the precious advantage of living on good terms with our neighbours by respecting their independence and their nationality. " Animated by these sentiments, and having only in view the preservation of peace, I appealed to England and to Russia to address at the same time words of conciliation to the parties interested. " The accord established between the neutral Powers will of itself be a pledge of security for Europe. They showed their impartiality in re solving to limit the discusssion of the Conference to the pending questions. In order to resolve them, I think it was necessary to address ourselves to them frankly, to disengage them from the diplo matic veil which covered them, and to take into se rious consideration the legitimate wishes of sove reigns and of nations. " The conflict which has arisen has three causes : The geographical situation of Prussia imperfectly limited ; the wish of Germany demanding a politi cal reconstitution more conformable to its general wants; and the necessity of Italy to secure her national independence. " The neutral Powers could not interpose in the internal affairs of foreign countries. Nevertheless, the Courts that participated in the constitutional acts of the Germanic Confederation had the right to examine whether the changes demanded were not of a kind to endanger the order established in Europe. We should have desired, in what con cerns ourselves, for the secondary States of the Confederation a closer union, a stronger organisa tion, a more important position ; for Prussia, more homogeneousness, in the north ; for Austria, the maintenance of her position in Germany. " We should have desired, morever, that, for an equitable compensation, Austria should cede Venetia to Italy, for if, in concert with Prussia, and with out regard to the treaty of 1852, she made war in Denmark on behalf of German nationality, it seemed to me just that she should recognise the same prin ciple for Italy by completing the independence of the Peninsula. " Such are the ideas which, for the repose of Europe, we should have tried to carry out. To-day there is reason to fear that they can be decided only by arms. In such an emergency what is the attitude it becomes France to assume? " Ought we to manifest our displeasure because Germany finds the treaties of 1815 insufficient to satisfy her national tendencies, and preserve her tranquillity ? In the war which is about to break out we have but two interests—the maintenance of the European equilibrium, and the maintenance of that which we have contributed to constitute in Italy. " But to save these two interests does not the moral force of France suffice? In order that her voice shall be listened to, will she be obliged to draw the sword ? Ido not think so. " If, in spite of our efforts, the hopes of peace are not realised, we arc nevertheless reassured by the declarations of the Courts engaged in the conflict that, whatever be the results of the war, none of the questions which touch us shall be resolved without the assent of France. " Let us then continue in a vigilant neutrality ; and strong in our disinterestedness, animated by a sincere desire to see the nations of Europe forget their quarrels, and unite in the cause of civilisation, liberty, and progress, let us still remain confident in the right and calm in our force. Whereupon, M. le Ministre, I pray God to keep you in His holy guard. " NAPOLEON." Reform Meeting in Southwark. A meeting was held last night at the Bridge house Hotel, for the purpose of hearing addresses from Mr. Locke, M.P., and Mr. Lay ard, M.P., on Reform. The room was crowded, and the hon. members were warmly cheered on making their ap pearance. Mr. A. Pocock presided, and first called upon-- Mr. LOCKE, who expressed his disappointment at the fate of the late Reform Bill, and condemned as insidious and unmanly the vexatious and harass ing motions which at length necessitated the aban donment of the measure. He regretted also the re tirement of Lord Clarendon and of his excellent colleague Mr. Layard from the Foreign-office in the present critical state of Europe. He did not see how the Tories could be ousted from their places till next session, unless they signally committed themselves, for possession was nine points of the law; but men who had arrived at their time of life were not likely to have improved since their former tenure of office, and he believed they would be turned out as soon as they were obliged to bring in measures of any importance. After eulogising the late Government f or the i r Ir i sh policy, and espe cially for their Land Tenure Bill, Mr. Locke con cluded by advising Reformers to insist henceforth on household suffrage, and thus to avoid all squab bling about rating and rental and niceties of that description. LAYARD, after premising that du r i ng th e eMr. ofLord Palmerston a Reform Bill could not, for various reasons into which it was unne cessary to enter, be brought forward with any pros pect of success, contended that Lord Russell would have been unworthy of the confidence of the Liberal party had he not, on assuming the headship of the Government, attempted a settlement of the ques tion. He commended the introduction by the late Premier of the Radical element into the Adminis tration, and denounced the " persecution " by which he had been driven from office as unfair and un-English. The attacks on that dis tinguished statesman had been most persistent and malignant, for the very day he took office a great leading journal misrepresented his whole career, and endeavoured to hold him up to the contempt of the country, the only reason being that he had intro duced friends of the working classes into his Go vernment and was about to bring forward a mea sure of Reform. After animadverting on the Adul lamites as likely to figure prominently in the annals of political renegadism, he remarked that many of them had recently sneaked out of the " cave," and had stated that they would not have voted as they had done had they thought the Government would have gone out. The Conservatives were treating Mr. Gladstone as they treated Canning, Sir R. Peel, and every other great man who had espoused the cause of the working classes, and the feeling that prevailed against him in the House of Com mons could hardly be conceived. A gentleman of some distinction on the Conservative side had re marked to him, " You don't know how we hate Gladstone. We feel ready to cross over the floor of the house and tear him to pieces." (A person in the meeting here cried, " Name," but was obliged by shouts of disapprobation to desist.) While cau tioning his auditors not to believe the exaggerated statements of a hostile press as to Mr. Gladstone's want of temper and pettishness, Mr. Layard admit ted that the right hon. gentleman had shown anger and indignation at the tm-Engli4h manner in which The New Ministry. (From the nines) The appearance of the House of Commons last evening indicated that the long Ministerial inter regnum had at length been brought to a close. For the first time for seven years, the Liberal leaders took their seats on the Opposition bench, relieved at once from the honours and responsibilities of office. The Treasury bench was not yet occupied by the new Ministers, for, according to constitutional custom, those who were members of the House of Commons vacated their seats upon accepting yesterday the seals of office. New writs were consequently moved for the vacant seats, and 21 gentlemen will have opportunities of receiving the congratulations or the remonstrances of their constituents, and in turn of offering some explanation of their intentions and hopes. The new Government can as yet have had little time to mature their policy, but the public will not fail to look with interest to the declarations they may make. The whole administration of the coun try has suddenly passed to new hands, and, if no thing more, it is a convenient custom which gives us an opportunity of hearing some popular state ments from those, to whom our interests, at such a critical moment, have been so unexpectedly intrusted. The business of the country has been so long inter rupted that we must hope there will be as little op position as possible to re-election of the new officers of State. The principal Ministers will, of course, be returned without opposition, and we may expect in the House of Lords on Monday a full Ministerial statement by Lord Derby in explanation of the new arrangements. As the number of new writs would of itself indicate, the appointments of the new Government are now all but complete. Lord Devon, who declined the responsible duties of the Lord Lieutenancy, has ac cepted a less onerous post in the Chancellorship of the D uchy of Lancaster. The post of Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs has been finally assigned to Mr. Edward Egerton, and Lord Belmore will be Under- Secretary for the Home Department. The other ap pointments which have been made since we last wrote are mostly to offices in the Household, and are of more interest and importance to the gentlemen who have accepted them than to the public in general. From the list of writs it will be seen that Lord Claud Hamilton will be Vice-Chamberlain, Lord Royston will be Comptroller, and Lord Burghley Treasurer. The commands of the Yeomen of the Guard and the Gentlemen Pensioners are respec tively accepted by Lord Tankerville and Lord Cadogan. The list of names in the new Adminis tration, as enumerated in the writs, presents a very respectable appearance, and the various offices have, upon the whole, been appropriately distributed. Lord John Manners, it will be seen, finds a post more suited to his capacity as First Commissioner of Works. The office is not one which requires any great political qualities, but there is ample room for energy and good taste in the general superintend ence of the public works of the metropolis. Mr. Cowper's administration has been most successful, and the public owe him a large debt of gratitude for the immense improvements he has introduced into the Parks. There is one appointment among those finally announced last night which we cannot but regret. Mr. Corry, who in former Conserva tive Administrations has been either Lord of the Admiralty or Secretary to the Admiralty, has now taken the post of Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education. He is thoroughly well acquainted with the work of the Admiralty, and his services there would be valuable. He may possibly be not less competent, as far as his personal quali fications go, for his new post, but neither he nor the Lord President, the Duke of Buckingham, has any experience whatever in matters of education. The office, in these days, is a somewhat delicate one, and it is to be regretted, not only that Mr. Corry's energies should be dissipated in becoming acquainted with a totally new subject, but that a post of growing importance should be inadequately filled. Sir John Pakington, who returns to his old post at the Admiralty, will have the assistance of Sir John Hay and Admiral Seymour. In one respect, at least, the House of Commons will gain by the change of Ministry. It was an unfortunate defect in the late Government that so few of the heads of departments had seats in the Lower House. The new Ministry, on the contrary, will be represented there with unusual complete ness. From the writs moved last night it will be seen that, besides the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the First Lord of the Admiralty, no less than four of the principal Secretaries of State will sit in the House of Commons. Mr. Walpole for the Home Department, Lord Stanley for Foreign Affairs, General Peel as Secretary for War, and Lord Cranborne for India, will bring four of the most important Departments of State into imme diate contact with the more popular branch of the Legislature. Such an arrangement is not only satisfactory in itself, but will afford sonic additional guarantee that the Liberal policy which commends itself to the nation will not be disregarded by the Government. Lord Carnarvon, in fact, as Secre tary for the Colonies, is the only leading Minister, with the exception of Lord Derby himself, who will sit in the House of Lords. On Monday next the new Administration will be fairly started. They deserve to receive, at least in the first instance, every consideration. Few Governments have succeeded to a more arduous position, or have entered upon office at a more critical time. PLENTY.—Menhaden never were so plenty as now, and the fish-works are over -running with stock. The New Bedford Standard says: —" Tho fishermen are confi dent that 20,000 barrels could have been, taken last week off Dartmouth and this harbour if the manufacturers of fish oil and guano at Woods' Hole had not checked them. Hundreds of barrels have been taken within a few days in our harbour, above Pahner's Island. A shoal of men haden was driven ashore last week near to Potomska farm, and GOO barrels of them were secured by Richard Laphara and others." IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT I THIRD EDITION.

The SPEAKER took the chair at five o'clock. The house presented rather a singular appearance from the circumstance of the change of sides of the different parties. The Government side of the house was occupied by the Conservatives, and the Liberals sat on the left hand side of the chair. Sir R. Palmer, the late Attor ney-General entered the house before prayers, and took his seat on the front Opposition bench. The Speaker having taken the chair, Mr. Gladstone shortly afterwards entered the house, and on his taking Lis seat, until this evening occu pied by Mr. Disraeli, he was received with loud cheers. Mr. Brand next entered, and he was received with cheers and laughter. The only persons representing the Govern ment were Mr. Whiteside and Mr. Adderley. THE NEW GO VERNMENT—ISSUING THE WRITS.

Potter in the chair, to receive the report of the deputations appointed to wait upon the corporation respecting the city meeting on Re form. The chairman said it would be recollected that the last meeting decided to call an open air meeting either in Guildhall-yard or in front of the Royal Exchange. In deference to the expressed objection of the Lord Mayor, the intention of holding the meeting in the latter place bad been abandoned. The Secretary then reported the proceedings of the deputation. The Lord Mayor then declined to give a definite answer, being uncertain how far his powers extended. In consequence of this doubt the deputation on Thursday waited upon the Court of Common Council, and having seen the chair man of the City Lands Committee, under whose con trol the arrangements connected with the Guildhall aro placed, that gentleman informed the deputation there was no doubt among the law officers of the Corpora tion as to the power of the Lot d Mayor to grant the use of the Guildhall for any purpose he thought proper, but that on all debateable questions it was usual to support the re quest by a requisition signed by some 40 or 50 liverymen, thus relieving the Lord Mayor of much responsibility. This course had been adopted, a requisition had been prepared and signed by some of the most influential men in the city, headeded by Mr. S. Morley, and would bo presented on Saturday (this day) to the Lord Mayor, with, it was ex pected, a successful result. One thing was quite certain, a working men's meeting would take place in the city in a few days, either inside or outside the Guildhall. Mr. Glasier moved, and Mr. Troup seconded the adoption of the report, and the resolution was carried. A discussion ensued as to whether the open-air meeting should be called at once, but it was eventually decided by a largo majority to wait' the reply of the Lord Mayor before taking further action in that respect. After some further business the meeting ad journed. NOT A FLATTERING LIKENESS.—TWO friends meeting, one remarked, " I have just met a man who told me I looked exactly like you." " Tell me who it was, that 1 may knock him down," replied his friend. " Don't trouble yourself," said he, " I did that myself at once." Some information has at length appeared on what occurred last week in Portugal. The Jornal de Contercio of Lisbon says:—" It is indubitable that a discovery has been made of a conspiracy in more than one regiment, and that some officers are compromised. The Government has taken measures to maintain public order. We do not know what the flag of the conspirators was. The Government could not yield to any pressure, and is sure to have the sup port of all honest patriots ; let it but be energetic, and it can count on the entire nation." CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT AGAINST A LIVER POOL CASHIER.—WiIIiam Henry Harris, cashier to Messrs. Schilizzi and Co., Greek merchants, was charged before the Liverpool magistrates on Wednesday with embezzling £1,267 belonging to that firm. The prisoner had been.lo years in their employ. The case was remanded. DUBLIN EXHIBITION PALACE.—The great attrac tion here at the present moment is Mr. Levy, the celebrated cornet player. This performer every evening calls forth the most enthusiastic applause. LocAL ACTS OF PARLIADIENT.—The number of local acts passed in the session up to the present time is 162 out of 633 petitions lodged at the Private Bill-office. THE REFORM CLUB.—The drainage of the Reform Club-house being in a very defective condition, and calcu lated to seriously affect the health of the members, an ap plication has been made on the part of the club to the vestry of St. James's, Westminster, to undertake the drainage of the house, and yesterday at the meeting of the vestry—Mr. Churchwarden Burt in the chair—on the re commendation of the Works Committee, it Was unani mously resolved "that the application be not acceded to. tfiThe Vigie of Cherbourg announc es that the Per sian steam corvette Nymph, of 17 guns, a nd the gunboat Dolphin, 3, have left that harbour for the Baltic. Letters from Rome of the Ist state that the leave of absence of General de Montebello will be for three months.

If England is involved in war, I don't want to see a single ship go out of our ports to destroy her commerce, and over the Canadian border I do not want a single cot tage harmed. 1 want them to feel their evil overcome by our good. The way to live in peace is to be better than your enemy—in his opinion, not yours." After enlarging somewhat on this point, Mr. Beecher paused, and looking around, with a humorous glance, continued :—"I don't knowwhether I'd better make any further application of this principle or not. I consider the doctrines brought forward in the House of Representatives by Mr. Stevens —though followed in their entirety, thank God ! by very few—to be doctrines of Belial, leading to destruction. The North had a chance to show grace, and love, and magnani mity. How I longed to see it! Both Congress and the President should have been pressed to Union. I had hoped to see the North showing her superiority in Christian nobleness and generous forgiveness. But I have been disappointed. It has not been done. You can no more change rebels to loyal men by casting them out and turning them away than you can convert the wicked by building up a wall of separation between them and the good—shutting them out from the very influence that should be brought to bear upon them.
