MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues active, and the rates of the brokers remain firm at 8f and 9 per cent. for the best description of short-dated paper. Opinion seems diverted as to the probability of a reduction to-morrow in the official minimum. It is thought that the usual quarterly payments will diminish to a large extent the private balances, and that the Gazette return will not be of the satisfac tory character many anticipate. There were no gold operations at the Bank yes terday. At the meeting held to-day of the shareholders of the Imperial Ottoman Bank, the accounts presented to the 31st December last showed a gross profit of £297,439 for the year. The directors recommend a dividend of 10s. per share, which will be equal to 10 per cent. per annum. The directors of the Northern Assam Tea Com pany have declared a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for the six months ending the 30th inst. on the A shares of the company, payable at the London and County Bank on the Ist July. It has been announced by the directors of the Anglo-Austrian Bank that they will be prepared to pay, on and after the 2d proximo, Coupon No. 1, (hie on that day, at the rate of 3s. 6d. per share, free of income-tax. Two o'CLocic. According to Reuter's telegrams this morning, the French Rentes were 63f. 20c. Firm. It is not at all remarkable to have witnessed in the City this day a solid improvement in Govern ment Stocks, Foreign Bonds and all descriptions of property pertaining, in the shape of investments, to the interests of the country. The result of the Re form Bill debate seems to have formed a decided success in every quarter. That there will be much inconvenience cannot be denied, yet it has been proved incontestably that, individually, both par ties show almost equal strength. Notwithstanding the resignation, and its acceptance, the British Funds are firmer ; even Foreign Funds have ad vanced despite the war, and shares, Financial and Miscellaneous, are stronger in marketable value than they were before her Majesty accepted the re signation of her immediate Ministers. Consols are now 861 87 for money and 87 f for the account, showing, as already stated, an improvement of 1 per cent. The New Threes were 861, and Reduced Annuities 86 1 ; India 5 per Cents., 1038 ; and ditto Bonds, ss. dis. to ss. prem. Most descriptions of Foreign Stocks are at en hanced values. Turkish 5 per Cents. are 28 / ; Mexican, 141 15 ; ditto New, 111 121 ; Greek, 101 118 ; Spanish Passive, 191 1 ; the Certificates, 141 15 ; Italian, 401 1; Brazilian Scrip, 3;dis. United States 5-20 Bonds are 641 Erie Shares, 384 a ; and Illinois, 731 41. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been on a limited scale, and in some instances prices have slightly given way. London, Chatham, and Dover have declined 1 ; North-Eastern (Berwick), ; Great Eastern, s ; and North-Western and Metropolitan each i ; while Great Northern have advanced f. The Foreign and Colonial lines exhibit little variation. South Austrian and Lombardo-Vene tian have advanced to 111 a ; Great Indian Penin sula declined to 1078 1. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in most instances at steady rates. Alliance have improved 20 fr 21; Hindustan, China, and Japan to 51 ; Im perial Ottoman to 71 8 ; London and County to 66 67 ; and Oriental Bank Corporation to 381 40 ; Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England are marked 2 dis. ; General Credit, 11 did.; International Financial at 11 dis. ; London Financial, 14 13 dis. ; and National Discount Company, 7 7* prem.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice Lush and a Special Jury.) CANNON V. DIOBY. This was an action brought by Emily Cannon to recover compensation and damages from defendant, in breach of contract. From the opening statement of counsel it appeared that the defendant, in conjunction with another party, under took to print a paper called the Croydon Free Press. This paper had; been transferred to her by her brother, Mr. Thomas Cannon, a gentleman of long standing on the London Press, and according to the statement of the learned counsel, tv person of great skill, tact, and ability in matters relating to newspapers. The defendant and his partner did not carry out their contract by printing the paper in its usual style, and the defects jn reference to the same became so numerous that advertisers wore induced to withdraw their advertisements from the paper to the great loss of the proprietress. The witness for the plaintiff not being in attendance, owing to the case having come on unexpectedly early, it was arranged between counsel' that the plantiff should be non-suited. We aro informed that an application will be made to replace the case on the record. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings at Nisi Pri — G _before Mr. Justice Byles, and a Common Jury.) HEMP V. HARRIS.-BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE AND SEDUCTION. The hearing of this case, which commenced yesterday, was resumed this morning.. It appeared that the plaintiff is about twenty-three or twenty-four years, and the defendant twenty-seven years old. He was a publican, and proprietor of the King's Head, Newington Butts. The plaintiff had been en gaged by him as barmaid and entered his service last year, and, she being a person of attractive appearance, he " fell in love " with her, and by letters he had written in-respect to her it was evident that at ono time he seriously con templated making her his wife. However he succeeded in seducing her, and then refused to perform his promise. At the close of the case this morning, the jury, without leaving the box, found a verdict for the plaintiff, and assessed the•damages at £l5O. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-This Day. MARtBOROUGII-STREET. CURIOUS CASE.— John Wm. Parker, a respectable-look ing man, butler to Mr. Harrison, of No. 40, Bryanston square, was charged beforo Mr. Tyrwhitt with being in possession of a silver tankard much battered and defaced, and not being able to give a satisfactory account of the same. Police-constable Irwin, 218 C, said that from informa tion ho received he stopped the prisoner in Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, with the broken tankard produced in his hand. On asking him how he became possessed of it, he said that it was left him by his aunt 16 years ago, but that he had shown it to no one, and kept it locked in his box all the while, and that the reason why ho had filed the name and crest off was because he wished to ascertain whether it was silver or not. Not being satisfied with the prisoner's story he took him to the station. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constable said the pri soner was a butler at 40, Bryanston-square, and on making inquiries there he ascertained that the plate was all correct. Theprisoner sail that he told the constable that the tan kard was left him by his uncle, and not his aunt. He was living at the time at Alderman Carden's, in Wingate street, and his uncle, who had been a butler for many years to a gentleman at Romford, left him the tankard, and his brother a horn. It being very old and worn, he knocked it up and went to see whether it was silver. Mr. Mellish, pawnbroker, of Duke-street, Grosvenor square, said ho was the person who ave information to th e constable. The prisoner brought t g he property to his house, and ho refused to receive it, and sent for a con stable. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would take one bail in .£lO for the prisoner's re-appearance in the week, and he could then produce any witnesses he might think proper. DARING STREET EOEBERY.—William Brown, described as a seaman, address refused, was charged beforo Mr. Tyr whitt with stealing a gold watch and chain of the value of £5B, the property of Luca Passasso, a courier residing at 21, Bury-street, St. James's. The prosecutor was crossing Lower Regent-street into Jermyn-street last night about 12 o'clock when the pri soner passed him and rushed back and snatched his watch and chain from him and ran off. He was pursued and taken to the station, and on the way he told the constable, 330 A, that be was innocent of the charge, but while being searched at the station he dropped the watch and chain down the leg of his trowsers and put his foot on them. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner to give the police an opportunity of making inquiries respecting him. THAMES. ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF A PAWSBRONER. — Two elderly women, named Ann Nesbitt and Margaret Farrell, were brought before Mr. Paget chargAd with illegally disposing of a quantity of female wearing apparel and other property, belonging to Mr. Clayton, a tradesman, residing in Sweet Applo-court, Bishopsgate-street. The property in question, valued at about £5, was on trusted to Nesbitt by Mrs. Clayton to be washed. Both prisoners wore afterwards engaged in raising money upon the property at the shop of a pawnbroker named Allen, of 6, Upper Grove-street, St. George-in-the-East. Allen con ducted his business in a strange manner. Dunaway, a detective officer and sergeant, 11. li, and Archer, a cons table, 11 11, found Mr. Clayton's property in Allen's house. lie had lent the prisoner's money upon the various articles without giving them tickets or memorandums, according to the provisions of the act for regulating pawnbrokers, his name and occupation was not painted over his door in compliance with the law, and little children came to Allen with pledges while Dunaway was there. A portion of the articles belonging to the prosecutor was not in a fit state to bo received by any pawnbroker. The officers considered that Allen was only a leaving-shop keeper, and the business was conducted on the principle of a leaving-shop. People came to redeem articles without tickets or duplicates ; ld. was charged as interest for the loan of 6d. for two days and 2d. for ls. for the same period, and there were dealings with little children. It turned out, however, that Allen was in pos session of a regular pownbroker's license. The prisoners criminated each other, and Nesbitt said Farrell had snatched money out of her hands, and she raised money on Mr. Clayton's property to repay herself. Mr. Paget fined each of the prisoners £l, and the value. of the property they had pawned in addition, and in default one month's imprisonment each. The property now pro duced must be given up to the prosecutor. lie thought it was very desirable the illegal conduct of the pawnbroker should be represented to the Board of Inland Revenue. If proceedings were adopted, he should be prepared to put the law in force. WESTMINSTER. THE RETIREMENT OF MlNlSTERS.—Froderick Michael O'Connor, a man speaking with a strong Scotch accont, was charged with obstructing members of Parliament as they were leaving the Houses of Parliament yesterday evening, and with striking William Pommy, a police-con stable of the A division, in the execution of his duty. The policeman said that at five minutes past seven last evening he was on duty opposite Westminster Hall. At the time the house was adjourned the defendant was standing on the centre of the footway so as to impede it Witness asked him to move on one side, and he did so, but was directly afterwards on the way again, standing with his hands in his pocket. Witness asked him to go on the other side of the way where the rest of the people were standing, and merely put his hand upon him to press him onwards, when defendant turned round and struck him a blow in the mouth which made his lip bleed. . _ Mr. Arnold—What have you to say to this ? Defendant—l wished to see some of tho members, and was standing therefor that purpose when I found I was suddenly in a crowd, and I got pushed about first one way and then another, and found I could not get out. There was a great deal of excitement, and people showed their feeling as members came out, of them they liked and them they disliked, by cheering some and hooting the others. He shoved me about, and I was provoked by it, and in my hot blood I struck (the policeman). Mr. Arnold—Ho told you to move ? Defendant—Yes; but he thought I did not do so fast enough, and then he pushed me, and then I hit him. A second policeman proved that detendant had been two or three times requested to move. He was fined 108., or seven days. Livapool Cotton Market—(This Day.) The market opens with fair inquiry, at rather easier rates. Sales probably 8,000 bales. VALENTIN V. HALL.—This case was resumed yesterday before the Lord Chief Justice of the Qu een ' s Bench. The circumstances of the action have been fre quently reported in our columns, and it will be recollected that it is to recover damages for the illegal taking and negociating of certain coupons, Orleans shares, and other securities, and that the defendant pleaded not guilty. Tho cross-examination of Madame Valentin• was concluded by Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and amongst the witnesses subse quently examined was Dr. Berrier Fontaine, one of the physicians to the Emperor of the French. The ease Was not finished when the court rose. _ .A 0 MELANCHOLY DEATH.--On Monday, a young gentleman, named Poole, who had just returned from College to his home at Shrewsbury, was drowned whilst bathing. He had gone with his father and brothers to a favourite bathing place about a mile distant from Shrews bury, and was attacked by cramp whilst trying to swim across the river. An attempt was made to save him, but in vain. The event has created a painful sensation in the town, deceased being well known. He had only just passed a very successful examination. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, June 26. —ln shipping yarns a fair amount of business has been done to-day. In fact, there has been a continued improvement since Fri day, at gradually increasing rates. The business done to-day has commanded the extreme rates of yesterday, which have been rather freely paid. This branch of the market closes strong, with an upward tendency of prices for all yarns of good quality. In home trade yarn there was also a steadily-improving . market and a moderate amount of business was transacted, at prices about Id. per lb. in excess of the quotations of Friday last. In the cloth market, contrary to expectation, there has been considerable improvement during the week, and most descriptions of cloth have advanced i n pr i ce . Advices from the United States, that th e supp l y o f the old stock of cotton is falling off, and that the growing crops have received much damage from the overflowing of the Mississippi, have led to an.advance, and a good deal of activity in Liverpool is said to be the cause of this improvement. The acccounts as read by cotton dealers are not generally credited here, but there is no doubt that the improvement at Liverpool has reacted in our own mark e t , an d g iven a spur to busi ness. During the week, an d es pecially since Friday, a considerable business has been done, at advanced prices, but we close to-day rather quieter, though without any giving way in prices. There are tele grams to hand from Bombay of the 21st and 22d inst., speaking of commercial disasters and an anti cipation of further difficulties. The market is quieter this afternoon, in consequence of some information as to the nature of the further anticipated difficul ties having oozed out. Messrs. John Slagg and, Co. say of to-day's cloth-raarket:— "Advices from the United States as to the pro bable yield of cotton this season have caused it to advance, and this to some extent has been responded to here. A considerablo amount 'of business has been done since last Tuaday, at a moderate ad vance on all goods suitable for India. Printing cloth and domestics are not much changed in price. The news from Bombay bylelegraph to the 21st is considered unfavourable, and we close the day with a quieter feeling." _ _ - - CARDIFF, 25th.—There is no falling off in the foreign demand for steam coal, but in consequence of merchants refusing to give the increased freights asked for by shipowners colliery proprietors are somewhat restricted as to the extent of their opera tions. The inquiry for steam on home account is large, and considerable quantities are sent •by rail to the inland markets and Birkenhead. There is a falling off in the local consumption of house coal. The state of the iron trade remains about the same as last reported. In the home market no transac tions worthy of notice have taken place, and there is no probability of many orders being given out till after the quarterly meeting of the ironmasters. A fair quantity of railway iron has been exported to the foreign markets, and the inquiry from New York leads to the belief that some good contracts will, should no unforeseen obstacle arise, be shortly forthcoming on American account. There is no material improvement in the demand for pig iron, and the inquiry for tin plates is slack. LEEDS, 26th.—There has been a moderate attend ance of buyers in the cloth-balls this morning, and about as much business was done as last Tuesday. The selection of goods includes about equal portions •f the heavy and ordinary cloths, with some strong tweeds. Though the export of goods to Germany, Italy, and other parts of the Continent has been greatly checked by the occurrence of war, part com pensation is afforded by the orders which have been received for army cloths and rugs for Austria. The Canadian demand has rather improved since this day se'nnight, and the bulk of the goods supplied and to be supplied this season for our North Ameri can colonies will in all probability exceed that of the corresponding period of last year. Prices of cloth, though wools are quoted lower, are well maintained. NOTTINGHAM, 26th.—At our Exchange-ball to day the attendance was extremely small. There was very little doing, and lace yarns had a weakening tendency, while hosiery yarns were much the same as last week: Demand for silks was very flat ; prices were unchanged. The demand for brown nets continues very languid, at unaltered prices. ROCHDALE, 25th.—The state of the money market continues to exercise a depressing influence on the flannel trade. Some few persons ,- have; however, been operating to-day with something of animation. Selections are chiefly confined to printing and fancy flannels. Plain goods were scarcely inquired after at all to-day, though there were one or two London - - parties present who generally buy in all departments when they visit this market in earnest. On the whole, there is no occasion to complain of the state of to-day's market as compared with that a week ago. There is even a slight improvement in the demand for Yorkshire woollens, which have been so long in the background. The inquiry for wool is insignificant, and prices if tested would be found to be rather in favour of the buyer. Naval and Military Intelligence. Her Majesty's partially ironclad ship Research, 4, 1,253 tons, 200-horse power (nominal), having undergone some extensive alterations and repairs at Chatham Dockyard was on Monday taken on a final trial of her engines and machinery at the measured mile, Maplin Sands, previously to her departure on an experimental cruise. The ship was in charge of Capt. G. W. Preedy, C. 8., Com manding the Steam Reserve in the Medway, Mr. W. Eames, assistant inspector of machinery at Chatham Dockyard, representing the factory department, with Mr. W. W. Williamson, inspector of machi nery afloat. The Research has the whole of her stores for a six months' cruise on board, with 120 tons of coal in her bunkers. On leaving her moor ings her draught of water was 15ft. 9in. aft. and 12ft. Bin. forward. Her engines are a pair of ordi nary trunk horizontal engines, by Messrs. Watt and Co., with cylinders 50 inches in diameter, the pro peller being an ordinary Griffiths screw 12 feet in diameter, and set at a mean pitch of 16 feet; length of blade 2ft. 3lin., with an immersion of the upper edge of 2ft. sin. On reaching the measured mile six runs were made at full boiler power, the mean speed being 9.339 knots per hour ; load on safety valve, 24}1b. ; mean pressure of steam in boilers, 19.831 b. ; vacuum in condensers, 29in. ; maximum number of revolutions of screw per minute, 81, and mean 80. The usual number of runs were subse quently made with half the boiler-power cut off, when the speed realised was 8.458 knots. The vessel was put round the full circle in 5 min. 25 sees., with the angle of the rudder at 24 deg. At the close of the trials the usual certificates were given of the Research being fit for sea, and on Monday evening she took her departure from the Nero for Portsmouth, where she awaits final orders from the Admiralty. Since leaving the Chatham the Re search has been supplied with another gun-carriage, in lieu of the experimental iron guu-carriage with which she was previously supplied. The screw steam frigate Phoebe, 35, Capt. Wil liam,E. Rolland, at Devonport, will Ell put out of commission on Friday next, the 29th inst. The armour-plated screw steamship Lord Clyde, 24, Capt. Roderick Dew, C. 8., is appointed to leave Plymouth Sound shortly for the Mediterranean. She will first convoy to the island of Madeira the iron screw steamtug African. The screw steamsloop Petrel, 3, left Plymouth yesterday for the Cape of Good Hope. She will first proceed to Madeira to await the arrival of the African, which she will convoy to the Cape. When i Capt. Weatherburn, which the transport e d on Saturday Percy th troops from New Zealand, was leaving Plymouth on M on d a y after noon, arrived ri v a very painful circumstance occurred. The transport had just cleared the Sound under tow of a steamtug, and was well outside the east end of the breakwater. The weather was calm, the sea smooth, and the troops, chiefly the left wing of the 68th, were dispersed all over the deck. Suddenly a bullet crashed through a boat suspended over the bulwarks. It then grazed one soldier and struck another in the back. lie became insensible immediately, and was at once conveyed by his comrades to the ship's hos pital. Col. Morant, who was in command of the military, proposed returning to the Sound, but when it was ascertained that the bullet had not entered the wounded soldier, Capt. IVeatherburn prevailed on the colonel to allow the Percy to proceed. At the time of the accident the soldier was sitting on a cask on the main deck, close to the poop. The bullet came from Staddon heights or Bovisand. A detachment of the 65th or of the 13th Regiment were practising with their rifles on the heights against a wall built for the purpose, and nearly 100 ft. high. It seems incredible that a bullet should have gone over so high a wall and have struck an object 1,200 yards beyond it. It is stated that the artillerymen at Bovisand sometimes discharge bullets through a barrel attached to a large gain, for the purpose of exercise. Colonel Morant sent by the stcamtug a letter of remonstrance to the Commander of the forces at Devonport, and no doubt a full inquiry into the circumstance will be made. General Sir John Macdonald. K.C.8., expired at his seat, Dunalastair, Perthshire, North Britain, on the 24th inst., aged 76 years. He joined the army in 1803, served in South America and at the assault of Buenos Ayres ; in the Peninsula from November, 1808, to 1813, and in the South of France from March, 1814, including the Battle of Busaco, lines of Torres Vedras, affairs of Redinha Pombal, and Campo Mayor, first siege of Badajos, battle of Al buhera, third siege and assault of Badajos, affairs of Alva de Tormes, battles of Vittoria, the Pyrenees, 25th (had two horses shot under him), 30th, and 31st of July, and Toulouse ; was twice wounded at the assault of Buenos Ayres, July 5, 1807 ; twice in the Pyrenees, July 30, and at the assault of the fortified rock Arolla, where he surprised the enemy's post in the valley of Banca, October 2, 1813 ; com manded the force which was sent to suppress the Irish insurrection of 1848. Sir John Macdonald devoted his latter years to the improvement of the condition of those living on his Highland estates. In the list of successful candidates for direct com missions in the Royal Marine Light Infantry, pub lished in The Sun of the 23d under the head of " Military and Naval Intelligence," •it •was stated that Richard B. Deane, who stands second, was educated at Burney's Academy, Gosport. This was so far incorrect. Mr. Deane was educated and prepared for the examination at Ipswich School, although he was for some seven or eight weeks fin mediately before the examination at Gosport Academy. UNIVERSITY ,INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, .Tuza 26. In a Convocation to be holden on Thursday next, the 28th inst., at 10 o'clock, it will bo proposed that the Uni versity seal be affixed to " the assignment of the lease of the Angel Intel to the University." The Vico-Chancellor's notice on the subject of the Sacred Poem runs as follows :—" Mr. Stone, to whom the prize for the Sacred Poem had been adjudged, has since boon round not to have been a duly qualified candidate, although he had reason to believe that the conditions required of candidates had in his case been duly fulfilled. The prize is now adjudged to the Rev. B. C. Caffin, late Fellow of Worcester College." A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing-street.

From the evidence it appeared that the deceased, in company with his father and several of his pi -others, wont, up the river at halt-past six in tho morning to have a bathe be fore breakfast. They undressed and went in at a favourite bathing-place about a mile beyond the town, and the de ceased and two of his brothers started to swim across the river. When half way across the deceased was observed suddenly to throw up his arms and sink, and ono of his brothers seeing his danger swam to him and got hold of him by the arm, but the deceased clung to him in such a way as to paralyze his efforts to save him, and ultimately ho was compelled to loose him. Ho immediately disappeared under the water, and though the Rev. Mr. Yongo, who was one of the party, dived several times in the direction whore ho had gone down, he failed to find him. Mr. Tisdale, borough surveyor, whose house is near the scene of the accident, being in his boat at the time, wont in quest of the body, and after a quarter of an hour'ssoarch succeeded in finding it about 200 yards from the place where it sank. From the medical evidence it did not appear that the deceased had boon attacked by cramp, and it is supposed that, finding himself in the middle of the river, with a strong current, he lost his presence of mind. A verdict of " Accidental death" was returned. Mr Poole had just passed a success ful examination at Oxford and obtained his degree, and had returned on Saturday last to spend the vacation at his father's house in Shrewsbury. THE FATAL COLLISION AT LONDON-BRIDGF._ Mr. Humphreys, the Middlesex coroner, held an in - quiry last evening at the George and Dragon, She( WO 1, on view cf the bodies of Miss Rebecca Eliza Grill'. n a id Francis Good, two of the four persons who were di own3d by the collision which took place last Sunday week b twJen the Eagle steamer and a small boat at London-briegP, as has already been reported, The evidence was substantially the same as that taken at the previous inquest upon Miss Sowell, held by Sergeant Payne ; but the cross-examina tion by Mr. Morgan Howard, barrister, elicited the fact that as the steamer "lay dead" (not moving with her paddles) athwart the river, near the centre arch of the bridge, the men whose duty it was to look out were en gaged in hauling in a rope from the direction of Fresh Wharf, and although ono of the men said he kept one rye on the rope and another on the river, it appeared that the boat had comenearly through the arch before she was seen. Of the seven persons in the boat four were drowned, three of the deceased being young women, and the fourth, Fran cis Good, being a married man with eight children. The jury returned a special verdict, " That the deceased were drowned in the Thames accidentally, and that there was negligence on the part of the steamer Eagle in not keep ing a proper look out." CONVOCATION.—Both Houses of Convocation of the province of Canterbury met yesterday for the despatch of business. The Upper House, presided over by the Archbishop of Canterbury, did not enter on any discus-, gen, but having formally received a certain number of petitions adjourned. The Venerable Archdeacon Bicker steth, the prolocutor, presided in the Lower House. The House was occupied almost exclusively in discussing the question of ritualism and vestments in the Church. JEWS' FREE SCHOOL.—The 49th anniversary of this institution was held yesterday evening at the London Tavern. The school was founded in 1817, and had its origin in the feeling then entertained of the necessity of diffusing the advantages of education among the poor children belonging to the Jewish persuasion. It has since its foundation progressed from year to year in the attain ment of the objects with which it was set on foot, and the boys' school at present contains 1,350 pupils, while the number of children at the girls' school is 858. The sub scriptions received amounted to about £2,000. MANSLAUGHTER IN WHITECHAPEL.—Au inquest was held yesterday by Mr. Humphreys in Whitechapel road, as to the death of Peter Mann, who had been stabbed by his father-in-law, Patrick Harrington, under circumstances stated in the Thames police report published yesterday. The deceased was a comic singer, who, having been dismissed from a music-hall on account of his violent character, had latterly been well known to the frequenters of the " penny gaffs" in the East-end. On Sunday night ho and his father-in-law and others wore drinking together when a quarrel arose, in which deceased knocked his wife down, struck her, and pullea her about by the hair. Whilst ho was thus fighting with his wife her father stabbed him in tho breast, causing almost immediate death. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Harrington. THE WAR AND TUE CAPTURE OF SHIPS.--A this time, when the subject of s e i zure o f s hips by the belligerent continental Powers is attracting deep and anxious attention, it is interesting to know that the cap tures by the Prussians aro limited to the property of the contending Governments. The ship Bremerhaven, cap tured last week, was taken on the supposition that it con tained Government stores ; but this turning out on exa mination not to be the case she was released. A portion of the fleet still remains at Bremerhaven, and one of the men-of-war had removed tho lightship from the entrance to the port and taken it to sea. 36 1 lai if 52! 3 1 7 161 17; 9.^-f 60 130 1241 i 5 51 THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS.

TITS LI/3%14AL PArry.—A meeting of Liberal members of the House of Commons Crook place yesterday, at the town residence of Mr. Foljambe, M.P. for Retford. It is understood that an address to the Crown pledging the House of Commons to support the Russell Administration, and likewise engaging Parliament to legislate on the ques tion of reform in the next session, to be moved by some prominent Ministerial supporter, was considered. This mode of proceeding was abandoned on its being intimated that the noble lord tho member for Chester (Earl Grosve nor) and some others of the Adullamitos were determinedly opposed to that paragraph in the Royal speech which bound Parliament to legislate on reform. SOUTHAMPTON, June 27.—The Peninsular and Oriental Co.'s steamer Nyanza, sailing to-day for Alexan dria and Bombay, takes out gold thread and watches of the value of £7Bl, but no specie.

THE BREADALBANE SUCCESSION CASE.----EDIN BURGH, Tuesday.—Judgment was given by the Court of Session to-day in the case of the competitors for the Breadalbano succession. The parties wore Lieutenant Charles William Campbell, of the 2d Bengal Cavalry, pur suer ; and John Alexander Gavin Campbell, of Glonfalloch, defender. The subject of competition was the title of Earl of 13readalbane and Holland, Viscount of Tay and Lord Glenorchy, in the peerage of Scotland, and the entailed estates of Breadalbano and lnverardan, situated in the counties of Perth and Argyll, and said to be of the annual value of above £50,000. The case originally came before Lord Barcaple as Lord Ordinary, and after lengthened pleadings and inquiry he found in favour of Glenfalloch. The pursuer appealed to the First Division, who called in the other judges of the court into their :counsels. One judge, Lord Kinloch, got leave to withdraw on account of his propinquity to the pursuer; but the eight judges con sulted, whose opinions were boxed on Saturday, wore una nimous in adhering to the judgment of the Lord Ordinary. To-day their lordships in the First Division formally de. _ _ . _ _ livered judgment. The President and Lord Deas were for Glenfalloch, Lords Curriehill and Ardmillan for Boreland. The opinions of the whole of the judges having bee n as . certained, it was found that there was ton to two for Glen falloch.

The train reached the station at half-past twelve o'clock, and as it drew up the Ministers were loudly cheered. With the cheers there were several calls made for a dissolution rather than a re signation. There was a similar manifestation of feeling on their leaving for London at half-past two o'clock. TILE LATE AMERICAN WAR. —Yesterday, at the Court of Admiralty, an application was made on the part of the Government of the United States that a vessel named Beatrice, now at Liverpool, should be given up to the Ameri c an Consul to be sent to America , or sold. 2 She was a Confederate vessel in th e late war. wo per sons had claimed the ship, and one, a Mr. Coleman, w i shed to establish his claim.
