POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day, BOW-STREET. John Butter, a youth about 16 years of age, was placed at the bar, on remand, charged with stealing a coat and other articles of wearing apparel. The evidence in this case was given when the prisoner underwent his first examination, and was to the effect that the:prisoner procured the articles by false representations. Ile was remanded for further inquiry, and this morning a foreigner, a chemist, carrying on business in Sherrard street, appeared as a witness, and informed the magistrate that the prisoner had been in his employ for a week, but a few days ago he absconded from the situation, having, in the temporary absence of the witness's brother, broken open a desk and stolen about £3 in money therefrom. The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say to the charge, replied, " Nothing." • Sir Thomas Henry asked if any inquiry had been made as to tho manner in which the boy had been conducting himself for the last two or three years. A Warder, from the House of Correction, said in March, 1863, he was discharged from Feltham Reformatory, where he had been for three years ; since which time he had been convicted as a rogue and vagabond more than once, besides which he had been committed to prison on other charges. Sir T. Henry said, on the first occasion of the prisoner being placed before him he thought the case might have been disposed of summarily, but the witnesses had not signed their depositions. The evidence given to-day had quite altered matters, as he could not deal with the pri soner after what had been related by the warder from the prison. He should fully commit the prisoner for stealing the money of his master, and he should also require the witnesses in the first case to attend, in order that they might be bound over to prosecute the prisoner in that case also. WESTMINSTER. ANNOYANCE AT THE RESIDENCE OF ADMIRAL ROBINSON.— Daniel Edwards, late butler in the family of the Admiral, Was charged before Mr. Arnold with the following an noyance at his residence in Eaton-place : Police-constable 324 B said that he was last night on duty in Eaton-place, when he heard a ringing of the bell at 70, Eaton-place. Ho went there and found that the prisoner had got into the area. This was at about one o'clock. He called up one of the servants, when, on.being admitted, he found the prisoner, who was given into his custody. The prisoner stated that he had his discharge the pre- Pious night, and that he thought, as it was late, after meeting with some friends, he would go and take his lodging for the night at his late master's. Mr. Arnold—How came you to ring the bell at the time in the morning you did ? It was at a very late hour—one o'clock in the morning. You had no business to go at such au hour. Prisoner—l went there merely to sleep, and I should have gone into the cellar had I not been stopped by the policeman. The constable said that he not only rang the servants' but the visitors' bell, which caused great alarm - in the house. The prisoner was fined 10s., or, in default, seven days' imprisonment. THAMES. JuVENtLE DELINQUENTS.—Two boys, named Thomas Wilmot and Herbert Lewis, were brought up this morning, the first for obtaining £4 by false pretences, and the other With stealing £lO the monies of his master. Each prisoner Was about 14 years of age. Wilmot, who is the son of James Wilmot, a stevedore, had been guilty of repeated acts of dishonesty, and in custody some time ago. He was then mercifully dealt With and discharged. He called on Mrs. Elizabeth Wickers, a married woman, of No. 55, Cannon-street, St. George in-the-East, on Monday last, and represented that his father required the loan of £2 or £3. Mrs. Wickers, who knew th e boy's father, and had been in the practice of advancing him money, gave the boy £4, the whole of which he squandered with other boys. His father never authorised him to obtain the money. The prisoner was remanded, and the magistrate would send him to the Industrial School at Peltham, or some other reformatory, after the proper Inquiries had been made. Lewis was in the employ of Mr John Sparks, builder, of 110 . 12, King-street, Tower-hill. The prosecutor bad lately missed cash from his desk, although he invariably kept it locked. A. careful examination convinced him that the desk had been tampered with, and that the lid of the desk was loose, and could be raised. Yesterday he placed a Piece of card in the desk, and in such a position that if the desk was disturbed the card would fall out. On going to the desk again he discovered the card on the floor, and missed more cash from a drawer in the desk. He called the prisoner into his office, and by alternately telling him ho would be severely punished if he did not reveal his guilt, and that it would be better for him to do so, obtained a confession from the boy that he had stolen the Money. The prisoner afterwards made out a list in his own handwriting of articles he had purchased with the stolen property, a portion of which he had given to other b oys. The list commenced miscroscope, ices, pandean P'pes. The magistrate would read no farther, and said the prisoner was a fit subject for a reformatory school. He remanded him till Tuesday next. XONEY MARKET AND COMIVOICIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. ADVANCE IN THE BANK RATE OF DISCOUNT The directors of the Bank of England have raised their minimum from 31 to 4 per cent.—a measure not generally anticipated. Still, as the private bankers and brokers, shhwed their reluctance to negotiate mercantile paper at less thsn 3} per cent., there was a pressure upon the national establish ment, which is always preferred when no advantage Can be obtained in other quarters ; and the autho rities, as will no doubt be shown by the Gazette re turns this evening, have acted judiciously in the movement they have adopted. Perhaps it would have been better if they had made their Previous advance one instead of one-hall Per cent. ; but, at the same time, it was quite reasonable to suppose that the tendency of affairs at that period might not continue. Though many may consider the rise inimical to the corn itercial community, the reverse is probable, since the recent cheapness of money has indicated adver sity instead of prosperity, as will be seen by the Board of Trade Returns. With the close of the American war enterprise between this country and New York is likely to be developed to an enormous degree, and already arrangements are making which are no doubt operating upon the value of money. If, therefore, business is reviling, it is a matter of C ongratulation rather than otherwise, merchants - and others will have to pay more for the accommo dation they require to widen their operations at home and abroad. The discount market remains in a very quiet State, little or no business having been negotiated since the alteration has been announced. The joint-stock and private discount firms have made a proportionate advance in their allowances on deposit accounts. The National Discount Com pany, Messrs. Alexander Cunliffe's and Co., Overend, Gurney and Co., &c., will give 3 per Cent. for money at call, 31 per cent. for seven days' notice of withdrawal, and 3k per cent. for 14 days. The joint-stock banks will allow 3 per cent., the London and Westminster as usual making the ex ception for sums under £5OO, for which they will ° nly give 2 per cent. The report to be presented to the shareholders at their half-yearly meeting of the London and County / 3 ank: states that the net profit to the 30th June, after deducting interest to customers and payment of all charges, and making provision for bad and doubtful debts are £106,821. This added to the amount brought forward from last account makes a total of £125,450 for appropriation. The directors Propose to declare the usual dividend of 6 per cent, W ith a bonus of 9 p er cen t , ma ki ng 15 per cent for the half-year, leaving £13,660 to be carried for- The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : 1865. 1864 b Gr eat Western ... •.. ... £76,777 £77,322 o rth Western ..• ••• ••• 120,252 121,411 il ° !lth-Western ••• •.• ... 31,663 29,907 29,934 29,069 Al i ?cf.

The proportions allotted were—to Calcutta, £163,500 ; to Madras, £2,000 ; and to Bombay, £lOO,OOO. The minimum price was as before—is. lOid. on Calcutta and Madras, and is. 104 d. on Bombay. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at ls. nil will receive about 75 per cent., and on Bombay at ls. 110., about 70 Per cent. These results show a diminution within the past fortnight of the demand for means of remit tance to the East. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 75c. The English Stock Market has been subjected to a fractional fluctuation. As soon as the announce ment was made that the Bank rate had been ad vanced a decline at once occurred in the Funds. A firmer tone, however, has since prevailed, and Con sols are 89i 90 for money, and 90 for the Septem ber account. Foreign Stocks have also slightly recovered since the opening of the market.

The Journal (le Peronne states that an attempt to murder, followed by suicide, was committed three days since at Ham (Somme). A young labourer name Lente, aged 19, who was married only a few months since, had behaved so ill to his wife that she left him and entered the service of M. Line, receiver of taxes in the town. Her husband went to her, and, failing to persuade her to return home, dis charged at her a double-barrelled pistol loaded with small shot, inflicting wounds, which, though severe, are not likely to prove mortal. Tho man was arrested on the spot, and taken to the lock up at the police-station ; but during the night he hanged himself with his handkerchief to the handle of the window, and was found quite dead the next morning.

TEND; Wednesday. This ceremony which has been so long looked for ward to by the inhabitants of South Wales, took place to-day, and although it had only been par tially begun when my parcel was despatched to catch the last available train, I am enabled to sketch the proceedings and summarise them briefly by tele graph, and supply the incidents of the progress of his Royal Highness Prince Arthur up to the event itself. The Prince, in fulfilment of previous arrangements, arrived here last evening, and had an opportunity this morning of making a short and early survey of the beautiful bay in which this town is situate and observing its romantic position. The Royal Prince left Pembroke Dockyard for Tenby yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, proceeding on his journey by road, and taking Carew Castle and other " lions" of the locality in his route. Ile travelled in an open chariot drawn by four horses, and was accompanied by Sir Charles Phipps and two other gentlemen, one of whom was said to be the Prince of Leiningen. The Royal party entered Tenby by the Pembroke road. A few minutes after the appointed time (six o'clock) a single gun, fired from the battery of the Ist Pembrokeshire (Tenby) Volunteers, followed by a Royal salute, announced the arrival of the Royal visitors within the precincts of the town, and shortly afterwards the carriage containing his Royal Highness, with Colonel Phipps and the rest of his suite, was seen approaching the Gate house Hotel. There were at this time in wait ing to receive his Royal Highness at the hotel tho Bishop of St. David's, Lord Llanover, Mr. Lort Phillips, M.P., Col. Stepney, the Mayor of Tenby (Mr. White), attended by his mace-bearer, and Mr. Mason (one of the town council and secre tary to the memorial committee), other members of the corporation, magistrates, &c. His Royal Highness gave a dinner party, late in the evening to a select few of the distinguished people of the district. It must not be supposed that though apparently late in carrying out the idea of a Welsh national memorial to the late Prince Consort, the people of Wales feel less interest than the rest of her Ma jesty's loyal subjects in commemorating the virtues of the great and illustrious personage of whom Tennyson, in his "Idylls of the King," writes thus:-- " A Prince indeed, Beyond all titles, and a household name Hereafter through all time, Albert the Good." The memorial this day inaugurated was com menced in Dec., 1864, when the first stone was laid— a massive block of Welsh marble, in which was a cavity enclosing an inscription on vellum, dedicat ing the memorial as " A mark of loyalty to her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, and of affec tionate respect and gratitude to the memory of her Royal Consort, Prince Albert the Good." The monument consists of a statue of the late Prince Consort, Bft. 9in. high, carved from a block of the finest Sicilian marble. It stands upon a pedestal 18 feet high, which is formed of grey marble (the native limestone of the district), and has four en graved panels of Sicilian marble. The pedestal rests upon a platform at the top of three ranges of steps forming a square of 23k feet. The blocks of the foundation are grafted into the solid rock, and a mound of earth neatly turfed slopes into unity . with the Castle-hill, of which it forms the summit. The figure stands with the head uncovered and baton in hand, at tired in field marshal's uniform and wearing the mantle and collar of the Order of the Garter. The artist is Mr. John Evan Thomas, a native of South Wales, and the work is spoken of as one of the finest specimens of the sculpture of our time. The likeness is striking. The pedestal was built by Mr. Thomas, of Pembroke, under the superinten dence of Mr. 11. Maule Ffinch, architect. The panel to the statue's right hand presents a shield, upon which are sculptured in high relief the arms of the earliest Kings of Wales, borne by Llewelyn ab Gruffyd, the last native Sovereign. The panel behind the statue is distinguished by originality of design. It represents the monogram of her Majesty and Prince Albert within an escutcheon, which is supported on the one side by the rampant "red dragon of Cadwaladr," and rests the other upon a partially recumbent but resilient leek, a scroll being interwoven inscribed with the old motto— " Anorchfygol Ddraig Cymru," which being inter preted means—" The dragon of Wales is invincible." Henry VII. raised triumphantly the banner of the red dragon at the battle of Bosworth Field ; the red dragon was used as a supporter of the Royal arms by successive monarchs of his line ; and the red dragon continues to this day to be the Welsh crest of our British sovereigns. The leek is said to have been especially honoured by St. David's use of it during his ascetic preparation for his public ministry among the mountain solitudes of Llanterry, when lie did only drink what crystal llondda yields, And fed upon the leeks he gathered in the fields." Mr. Thomas's sculpture of his country's most ancient symbol, the leek, and which Shakspere has immortalised in another way, is admirable. The panel to the left hand of the statue bears a shield charged with the late Prince's hereditary arms, quartered with those of her Majesty. The front panel forms a tablet, upon which the following inscription is engraved in large and ancient characters :—"Albert Dda, Pried EM Gorhoffus Frenhines Victoria (Albert the Good, Consort of our beloved Queen, Victoria). This me morial of H.R.H. Prince Albert was raised by the inhabitants of Wales, and inaugurated at Tenby, by his Royal Highness Prince Arthur, his third son, on the 2d day of August, 1865." The statue is placed on an elevated position on Castle Hill, a pe ninsula jutting out into the sea from the town, and its elevated position brings it on a level with the top of the spire of the parish church of Tenby. It is, therefore, visible at a great distance at sea, and from the land, and it is believed that it will be seen with a good glass from the opposite coast of Devon. A remarkable coincidence is connected with the ceremony of to-day, which ought not to be passed over without notice. About 400 years ago the Earl of Richmond, afterwards Henry VII., sought shelter at Tenby, with his mother, after being besieged in Pembroke Castle, and were lodged by Mr. Thomas White, then mayor of Tenby, and a wealthy wino merchant, whose monument still forms an interest ing object in the parish church. Mr. White provided a vessel for the Royal fugitive, which conveyed him safe to Brittany, a service for which he was after wards rewarded with a grant for life of the King's lands around the town. It is a curious fact that on the present occasion a lineal descendant of this White--Mr. George White, also a wine merchant --is now mayor of Tenby, and thus he becomes associated with another event connecting Tenby with the national history. A FLY'S EYE.—If we examine the eye of a fly, for example, we shall observe that it forms the seg ment of a sphere projecting from each side of the head. If we pursue the examination further with the aid of a microscope we shall find that the surface is mapped out, as it were, into countless numbers of separate lenses arranged side by side like the cells of a honey-comb. These lenses, somewhat conical in shape, converge towards the centre of the spherical segment. 'lt has been computed that the eyes of some of the butterfly tribe number from 10,000 to 40,000 ; of these hexagonal facets Hooke counted 7,000 in the eye of the house fly. What, therefore, is lost by want of mobility is gained by extension of power.—Once a Week. 'S SHOW.—The show of THE HIGHLAND SOCIETY the Highland and Agricultural Society opened on Tuesday at Inverness, under somewhat inauspicious cir cumstances as regards weather. In the evening the ban quet of the society took place, and was well attended. The Duke of Argyll, who presided, in proposing the toast of "Prosperity to the Highland and Agricultural Society," announced that Government intended to set on foot a sys tem of collecting agricultural statistics in England and Scotland, similar to that in force in Ireland. Subsequently, on the health of the Secretary of the Society, Mr. Hall Maxwell, being proposed, that gentleman intimated his re signation of his office, and received a special vote of thanks for his long and valuable services..—Scotsman. THE CIGAR SHIP.—A vessel known as the " cigar ship" has been on the stocks at Mr. Hepworth's yard, in the Isle of Dogs, for a long time, but is now nearly ready for launching. It is stated that upwards of £lOO,OOO have been expended in her construction, and it is anticipated that she will attain the speed of 25 miles an hour. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK.

METROPOLITAN C ATTLE. Our market, to-day, was but moderately supplied with beasts, chiefly in middling condition. Prime breeds sold freely, at very full prices. Otherwise, the beef trade was heavy, at late rates. The show of sheep was rather limited for this time of year. Downs and half breeds moved off steadily, at full quotations. Long-woolled sheep were a dull inquiry, at late rates. Lambs commanded very little attention, at from 6s. to 7s per 81bs. Tho demand for calves was far from active, at late currencies. Pigs com manded full prices. In milch cows very little was doing.

THE SPANISH LEGITIMIST PARTY. -4, • REUTER'S EXPRESS. MADRID, July 31. The following communication from Trieste, dated 20th inst., is published by the Epoca : " During the last fortnight the residence of the Countess Molina and the Princess Beatrice d'Este have been much visited by Spanish travellers and French legitimists. Repeated conferences have been held upon the question, whether a restoration should be attempted in Spain, taking advantage of the . . agitation produced by the Italian question. The partisans of this policy were ready to answer for a powerful rising in Dragon and other parts of Spain. Those opposing this course, the chief among whom was Count Morella, were of opinion that the mon archial party had all to gain by an expectant policy and would risk much by precipitate action at present. The diplomatists of the party believed that great events would take place in the peninsula before the end of the year. It is known that a fraction of the Radical party advocated the Regency of the Duke of Victoria (Marshal Espartero), while the younger Radicals wish to effect by one means or another a change of dynasty in favour of Don Fernando of Portugal, as a preliminaray to an Iberian union. This, it was urged, would be the propitious moment for a general rising of the old Monarchical party, which, say its chiefs, would then be supported by the immense majority of the nation." The Epoca, in an article deploring the great de cline in the public funds, says : " The legitimate expectations that the accession of the Duke of Tetuan to power, the recognition of Italy, and the impulse given to ecclesiastical liqui dation would cause a rise in public securities, have been deceived. Our consolidated debt, without doubt, from the effect of the last loan, has never been quoted so low since 1860. " A foreign journal, speaking of this decline, pro poses what would certainly be no remedy, namely, to recognise the certificates, settle the Passive debt, and double the railway subsidies, that is to say, augment the State expenditure by 100 millions reals. " 'Without opposing in principle a settlement of the Spanish debt we see another remedy. This would be to reduce the State Expenditure, and diminish by 100 per cent. all the unproductive ex penses of the nation, commencing with the map., to carry out the reform of the provision tariff, and the tax upon articles of consumption, in order that the people may eat cheaper, and consuming more, live at a cheaper rate. Let us also have Govern ments whose term of office shall count by years. Such alone will be the salvation of Spanish finance. "In the contrary case, this profound prostration of credit and every element of prosperity will pro duce before a year is out very serious complications in Spain. We must live within our means and not believe ourselves to be a nation of fabulous wealth and property. Royal decrees have been published, appointing Don Juan Valera Alcala Galiane to the post of Spanish Minister to Frankfort,. Electoral Hesse, Hesse Cassel and Nassau. The Marquis Alhama, formerly discharging these functions, is transferred, in the same quality, to the Court of the King of the Belgians, replacing the Marquis of San Carlos. Don JosO Luis Albareda is appointed Spanish Minister at the Hague, replacing Don Vicente Gutierrez de Teran. The French Tribunal of Correctional Police yes terday tried a man named Roumier, employed as a pointsman on the Versailles railway, on a charge of having by his negligence caused the accident of the 6th ult. It may be remembered that, owing to one of the switches not being properlj fastened, a train ran off the line on that day, near the Pont de la Revolte, and so alarmed four soldiers, who were on the top of a carriage, that they jumped off. One of them was so severely injured that he died the same day, and the others received severe contusions. Evidence having been given to show that Roumier had not fastened the switch according to the regula tions, the Tribunal declared the charge proved, and condemned him to three months' imprisonment. TRUE FRENCH POLITENESS.—The Jockey Club (says Galignani) has just lost one of its most amiable members, M. Alexandre Bouchet. The following anecdote is related of him :—" Perceiving ono day, after a heavy fall of rain, a very well-dressed young woman standing at the edge of the side pavement of the Boulevard, and evidently much perplexed as to the best method of traversing the sea of mud before her, he gallantly advanced, took her up in his arms, and carried her across dry shod. The lady made no objection to the mode of transit , but on being set down, expressed her gratitude as fo ll o ws :—, Sir,you are an insolent fellow !' Thereupon M. Bouchet immediately repaired the wrong by again transporting her, with the same precautions, to the very spot where he had first met her, and took his leave with a profound salutation." STAMPS AND TAXES.—In the year ending the 31st March last the duty on tobacco and snuff amounted to £6,115,997 16s. ld., and that on dogs to £210,409 10s. 11d. The revenue from penny stamps was £519,288 Ss. 3d., and the net produce £500,249 18s. 6d. THE SWEEPING OF THE STREETS OF PARIS.—The work is accomplished by a brigade of men and a brigade of women. The expense is estimated at £90,000 for clean ing the pavement, and £70,000 for the labourers. VITAL STATISTICS.—In 1863, the latest year for which returns have been issued, the birth rate was 3.539 per cent. in England, 2.686 in France, 3 . 988 in Austria, 3.912 in Italy. The marriage rate (persons married) was 1.688 per cent. in England, 1.600 in France, F 734 in Aus tria, 1.626 in Italy. The death rate was 2.305 per cent. in England, 2.244 in France, 3.110 in Austria, 3.115 in Italy. Commonly the mortality is higher in France than in Eng land ; and to a certain extent the French ratio is lessened through the returns for that country including Frenchmen dying abroad, whether civil or military. .Ig.. 100 at 1 loi 10 100 Ico Ho all 10) 100 {lOO 2 100 100 IC2i 102 101- 184 104 901} 84
