Con siderable i nterest is felt in the City with regard to the opinions that may be expressed, and the mea sures, if any, that may be proposed by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer with regard to a further m odification of the letter of licence given to the La nk in reference to the issue of notes. Every Coo fidence is reposed in his judgment by those who have deeply studied the subject, and the sound remarks in the Queen's speech upon the question, Whichis Low eng ag i ng so m uch attention. Affairs are daily improving, and if this circumstance fails to restore confidence, Mr. Disraeli will no doubt make some concession, though it is extremely doubt , whether any such measure is necessary. It was announced yesterday afternoon that a sus- Pension of the firm of Messrs. Bomanjee, Framjee, C anla, and Co., had suspended payment. The house Was established here and in Bombay. The amount of assets and liabilities are not known.

SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) THE WATER SUPPLY AND TILE PUBLIC.-IMPORTANT JIMG- MENT.-SPALDING V. THE EAST LONDON WATERWORKS COMPANY. This was an action of the very highest importance, especially so at the present time, in which the plaintiff sought to recover £5 damages alleged to have been sus tained through the defendants refusing to supply him with water until he had paid a certain sum of money due to the company by another person. The facts are perfectly novel, never having arisen before. It appeared that when the plaintiff took possession of a certain house the water supply had been cut off by the defendants, and as the act of Parliament, known as the " Waterworks Act," set out that the rate must be paid in advanc9, plain tiff waited upon th• company with s half-year's rate, and requested that the water might be laid on. The company declined to comply with this request until a sum due to it for arrears by a former tenant was paid. Plaintiff declined to pay these arrears until serious consequences were likely to ensuo through the absence of a proper water supply, and then he paid the money under protest. He now sought to recover damages from the company, and at the original hearing the question was fully argued by himself and Mr. Philbrick for the company, his Honour reserving judgment until to-day. This morn ing Mr. Commissioner Kerr delivered judgment as follows: This is an action by the plaintiff as an occupier of a house within the area supplied with water by the de fendants, against defendants for refusing and delaying to supply the plaintiff with such water. The defendants have admitted the refusal, and the tenders alleged by the plain tiff have been proved. The plaintiff relies upon the 43d and 53d sections of the Waterworks Clauses Act. 10th Vic., cap. 17 and 43d sec., imposes upon water com panies a penalty of 40s. per darto be paid to every person who had paid or tendered the water rate for every day the refusal to supply the water shall continue. The 53d section gives the occupier a right to demand a supply upon the payment or tender of the rate. The defendants relied upon the 74th section of the act, which empowered the suppliers to stop the water from flowing into such pre mises as the occupiers neglected to pay the rate. The com pany contended, in fact, that if any tenant of a house fall into arrears thathouse should remain without water, even in the occupation of another tenant, so long as the arrears were unpaid. I have given my best attention to-the words of the section, but they do not appear to me to justify the inter pretation which has been put upon them. Every separate clause 'of it may be interpreted to refer to the particular tenant or occupier who has made default in paying his rate. To hold otherwise would be to repeal the 53d sec- Lion, which, as I have already stated, gives to the occupier a right to a supply of water. It may be said that there is a hardship in calling upon the defendants to supply water to a person of whom they know nothing, but this is not so, for the 70th section gives the water company a right to payment in advance on every succeeding quarter-day of the appropriate rate. It is entirely their own fault if they incur any loss whatever. The verdict of the court will be for the plaintiff. The verdict was then entered for the plaintiff with costs. FIVE POUNDS OR FIVE PENCE.-SINGULAR DISPUTE.- The Drury-lane Murder. The report current this morning, that the mur derer of the boy found hanging in the cellar at Neal's-court, Drury,-lane, had been captured at Woolwich, is entirely without foundation. No reward has yet been offered by the Govern ment for the capture of the murderer. Reform Meeting at Woolwich. ----4,- Last night, at 8 o'clock, a crowded public meet ing of the inhabitants of Woolwich, Charlton, and Plumstead was held at the Lecture-hall, Nelson street, Woolwich, to . promote the movement in favour of an efficient measure of Parliamentary Reform. The chair was occupied by Mr. Bassett, who briefly expressed his entire concurrence with the objects of the meeting, and eulogised the conduct of the Lord Mayor in presiding at the Reform meeting held at the Guildhall of the city of London. Mr. Fludger moved the first resolution—" That the mo derate measure of Reform introduced by her Ma jesty's late Government having been rejected by Parliament, and the present Government having indefinitely postponed the question of Reform, this meeting feels it its duty to declare that the great body of the unenfranchised working classes of this country will be satisfied with nothing less than the speedy introduction of a bill for the amendment of the representation on the basis of residential and re gistered manhood suffrage and the ballot; and that, unless the present Government is prepared to redeem the antagonism it has already exhibited to popular rights by the speedy introduction of a bill for the amendment of the representation of the people, in accordance with the resolution, it will be the im perative duty of Reformers throughout the country to withhold from such a Government all sympathy and support ; and, finally, that the working men and others composing this meeting pledge them selves to support the objects and principles of the Reform League by enrolling themselves as members, and by other legitimate means." In a brief address the speaker claimed the right on behalf of himself and other working men to have a voice in the mak ing of those laws which they were called upon to obey. Mr. Sherman, in seconding, said he believed the present GoVernment by its conduct with regard to the Hyde Park meeting, had done much good .to the cause of reform, which was now advancing with rapid strides. Mr. G. Brooke,of Leadenhall-market, who attended as a deputation from the Reform League, in the course of an address which was well received, referred at length to the circumstances at tending the Hyde Park meeting. He denied that the people created the disturbance ; it was entirely caused by the arbitrary conduct of Sir R. Mayne. It was well known that the soldiers had one ball in their rifles, and three others ready for use; but he firmly believed that had they been ordered to fire upon the people they would have fired into the air. He must give much credit to Mr. Walpole for the feeling he evinced when he learnt the result of the mistake,and that the police were breaking the heads of the people. The Tinges had said that if it could be proved that this country was not properly governed then it was right to agitate for Reform. He denied that the country was properly governed, and it was not likely to be by the present Ministry. if Lord Derby at tempted to stem the tide of democracy by thepolice man's baton or the soldier's bayonet, he did not be lieve that the Throne itself would be worth 50 years purchase. Mr. J. B. Langley referred to the recent reform meetings held as a proof that the people were in earnest on the subject. He and others went to Hyde Park determined at all hazards to hold a meeting, and a meeting they held. Those eventshad given an impetus to the cause of reform, and had produced a great influence in favour of democracy in other countries. The resolution was unanimously adopted, and a vote of thanks to the chairman ter minated the proceedings. Liverpool Cotton Market-1 his Day. Market quiet. Sales probably 8,000 or 10,000 bales.

MIL GLADSTONE AND THE REORM LEAGUE.--The following letters, says the Manchester Guardian, have been handed to us for publication: —" Manchester, 38, Cannon street, 6th August, 18 66 . — Sir,—As one who had the hon pardon me with the proceedings of our of voting for you at the last el ection, I trust you will f Mr. Bealea or asking h if friends you agree during the past few weeks. It is possible that I am m istaken, but I cannot help thinking that the language used b y those g e ntlemen has materially injured the cause of Ref orm. Mr. B right may think they a have been engaged in noble work,' but I should be sorry to find that you entertain any such opinion. Mr. Beales and the Reform League cry for 'Gladstone and liberty,' and their scheme of Reform includes manhood suffrage. I should not dare to dispute your right to advocate manhood suf frage, though I feel confident the people of South Lanca shire are opposed to such a measure. With the deepest gratitude to you for the services you have rendered to your country, I remain, sir, yours very respectfully, Wm. HORS PALL. The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P." " 11, Carlton-house-terrace, S.W., August 8, 1866. Sir, —ln re ply to your letter of the 6th, I beg respectfully to express my desire that my views respecting Reform in Parliament should be gathered from my own acts, and from my lan guage, in which they have been amply stated. I do not agree in the demand either for manhood or for household suffrage ; while I own with regret that the conduct of the opponents of the Government measure of this year has done much to encourage that demand, which, but for such opposition, would scarcely have been heard of. You are at liberty to make such use of this letter as you may think fit, and I remain, sir, your very humble servant, W. E. GLADSTONE. William Horsfall, Esq." THE HYDE PARK RIOTS.—SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE POLICE.—Lord William G. Osborne has forwarded to Sir Richard Mayne a cheque for £5OO, the amount of a voluntary subscription, to assist those among the police who have been injured or disabled in the recent disturb ances at Hyde-park. The office of the U.S. Revenue Collector at Nashville was recently robbed of $2,300 in U.S. Trea sury notes and somo $4OO in cheques. The burglars used [ false keys. An American National Bank in London. A printed circular has been forwarded to us, ably commenting on the present dead-lock of the English money market, and suggesting the establishment in Europe of a Great National American Bank to regulate the exchanges with the United States. If an unfavourable exchange arises,- says this docu ment, from the fact of the balance of trade being against us, and gold is exported merely as the cheapest mode of paying our debts, then a supply of bills will soon check the exportation of gold. To obtain this supply of bills it strikes us Uncle Sam should try the experiment of becoming his own banker in London rather than be dependent on the Bank of England. On an average the balance of trade is not against the United States, though the balance of exchange may be so at given pe riods. Gold is the natural product of the soil, and we need not fear a drain, or devise means to prevent its exportation. But let us keep control of the gold, and not subject ourselves to rules and enactments of British bank directors. If the Bank of Englnd increases or decreases her cir culation by reason of injudicious legislation, it is pretty evident that the rate of exchange be tween the United States and England is subject to fluctuations wholly at variance with the require ments of the balance of trade. The fluctuations arc brought about by the see-saw fashion of the Bank of England. We entirely agree with the writer, and we regret that the author has not forwarded his name and the steps taken to bring the matter to the consideration of American merchants. We will be prepared to enter more fully on this subject if the writer will communicate further with us, for we hold with him when he says—" British merchants fail to set the house in order, and after a long, reck- less locking up of capital in bubble schemes, and over-nursing of cotton speculations, they find them selves involved in endless financial difficulties. The United States should not be ma - de the sufferers under the circumstances."—Anglo-American Times. COURSE OF EXCHANGE - -Last Evening.

The results declared for the year were highly favourable, notwithstanding the adverse experience in fire business during the last few years, which this com pany admits in common with all others. Neverthe less the Royal shows a small profit for 1865, and de clares its usual dividend, amounting to 17i per cent. to the original shareholders, after payment of which there will .be A . credit balance of £62,076 in the profit and loss account, besides a sum of £116,913 as fire reserve. The net fire premiums of the year amounted to £414,733, and the new policies issued in the life department were for £886,663, exclusive of proposals to the amount of £189,947 which were found inadmissible. The directors likewise report that the accumulated life funds had been increased during the year by £103,146. GREAT RIOT BETWEEN FRENCH AND ENGLISH NAVVIES AT EDENBRIDGE.—The village and neigh bourhood of Cowden was, on Saturday night, thrown into a state of great excitement in consequence of an alarming riot between the English and French navvies employed in the construction of the Surrey and Sussex line of railway. It appears that the French engineers em ployed by the contractors, Messrs. Waring Brothers, have engaged some 500 French navvies to compete with the English navvies (about the same in number), who were earning 6s. a day, the Frenchmen engaging to work for 4s. per day, and some even as low as 2s. 4d. In consequence of the Frenchmen working for so much less money than the Englishmen, the Englishmen came to the determination on Saturday of driving every foreigner off the line. At about half past ten o'clock in the evening they went to a farmhouse at Blowers-hill, occupied by the Frenchmen, and put their threat into execution, turning them out, and smashing the windows at the same time. When they went to the house they found the occupants, men, women, and children, all in bed. The English navvies rapped at the door for some time before the landlord would open it, but as soon as he did so they struck him down with a bludgeon, and turned the Frenchmen, with their wives and children, out of the house in their bedclothes, and one poor woman, who had been confined about a fortnight previously, pleaded hard that she should remain in the house, but they turned her out also with the rest. No policemen were present at this time, but a man rode off to the police-station at Tonbridge, and Superintendent Dance soon dis patched a body of police, headed by himself, to the spot. Their arrival stayed further damage, except that in the meantime several huts had been pulled down by them, until Monday morning, when the English navvies, armed with bludgeons some 2} feet in length, drove the Frenchmen in herds before them to the Edenbridge station, where the police were already awaiting them. The French men had drawn their knives, and were brandishing them about, and no doubt the riot would have resulted in a general slaughter had it not been for the interference of the police, numbering about 60.. When at Edenbridge station the English navvies were kept in the village, and the Frenchmen above the , station, the pOlice being stationed between them, arrangements being made for other bodies of police, together with a detachment of military to bo in readiness when called upon. Several of the French navvies proceeded to Oxted, in Surrey (on another line), but the greater portion remained at the Eden bridge station, under the protection of the police, until orders are received from the Home Secretary bow they are to be disposed :of. On Monday morning all the beer shops wore closed in Edenbridge, excepting two, in con sequence of the riot, and business was to a certain extent at a standstill. The greater portion of the English navvies resumed work on the line on Tuesday morning, and the town was generally quiet. An Englishman was brought before the Tonbridge magistrates and remanded. NEW MODE OF CORRECTING COMPASS VARIA TIONS.—Few things are more annoying to the mariner than the compass variations which, especially in the navigation of iron ships, he has to provide against. An extremely simple and ingenious mode of ascertaining the deviation has, however, been devised by a naval com mander connected with the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, U.S., which will remove all difficulty in the matter. It is proposed to take an ordinary compass card, and erect upon its centre a fine copper wire, from 4 to 6 or 8 inches in height, and perpendicular to its plane, at the moment of the sun's meridian passage, as indicated by the noon ob servation of latitude, note the direction of the shadow cast by the wire on the compass card. The angle contained between this direction and that of the north and south line of the card will give the variation and local attraction com bined. Small errors are involved in this method, but the approximation is close enough for the purpose for which it is intended. As there would, of course, be no diffi luny in making this wire a permanent fixture - to the card, it will be obvious that this arrangement would enable the devia tion of the compass to be daily tested. —Mining Journal. The Moniteur publishes a circular, extending over six columns of the official journal, from the Minister of the Interior to the Prefects of departments, explaining at great length the extended attributes of the councils general, in consequence of the bill which received the Emperor's sanction on the 18th July last. THE MOORS.—The prospects of sport for the opening of the grouse shooting next week on the vast range of hills running from South Yorkshire into Derbyshire and Cheshire are anything but encouraging to sportsmen, and the season promises to be one of the worst which has been experienced for some years past. On Boardhill Flats, and on the adjoining grounds of Sir Lionel Pilkington, there are only a moderate number of young birds, whilst at several of the other shootings not far distant but few birds are to be seen. This is more apparent from the number of old birds running in pairs, showing that they have no brood. On the extensive range of moors belonging to Mr. Stanhope, and which is generally well stocked, there is a great dearth compared with former years. Higher up, at Holmfirth, where there is rather more shelter,'and where the herbage is much earlier than in the more open plains, birds are slightly more plentiful. Tho scarcity of birds in all parts of the country has no doubt been caused by the heavy snow which lay on the ground so long, and which not only caused the de structions of a largo number of egg s but also of the Lird after being hatched. P ROROGA TION OF CONVOCAT ION._( TIIIS DAL) The Convocation of the p relates and clergy of the pro vince of Canterbury was this m orning formally prorogued by the Archbishop , at the Jerusalem Chamber, until Fri day, the 26th of October.

HARDING V. CRAWFORD. This was an action to recover £9 2s. 10d. alleged to be due to the plaintiff. An agent, who appeared for the plaintiff, said that there was a mistake in the account, and that instead of there being £9 2s. 11d. due there was only £4 2s. 11d. It could not be denied that a mistake of £5 had been made. . His Honour—Well defendant, what do you say to this? Defendant —I entirely dispute the plaintiff's case. His Honour—Do you owe anything? Defendant —Yes, I owe the plaintiff fivepenco. (Laughter). That is the balance of account. A clerk, who appeared for the plaintiff, urged that the defendant had agreed to a balance. Defendant—l deny it. All I owe is sd. The Agent—We admit that there has been a blunder of £5. _ _ His Honour—Defendant disputes the whole matter, except as to sd. Defendant—Yes, I entirely dispute the claim. As the plaintiff has made a blunder of £5, I contend that I am more likely to be right than he is. His Honour inquired if any one was present to throw any light on the matter on behalf of the plaintiff. The agent said there was not. His Honour—l will nonsuit the plaintiff, who can bring his action in the superior court and have the matter decided. Defendant—Will you allow me any costs ? His Honour—Yes ; ss. Plaintiff was then nonsuited. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY FROM A CAB.—Joseph Rance, a young man, who refused his address, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a travelling bag full of wearing apparel, from a cab in Great St. James-street, the property of Mr. G. ilarrland-Burke, barrister. John Browne, groom to Mr. Neale, of the Load of Hay Tavern, Paddington, said that on the previous night, while with his master and two gentlemen, in a chaise gig, going along Piccadilly, ho saw the prisoner pull a travel ling bag (produced) from off a cab, and run away with it down Bond-street. His master drove through some streets and got in advance of the prisoner, and as the prisoner was crossing Regent-street, with the bag on his shoulder, one of the gentlemen (Mr. Hallet), a licensed victualler, of Praed-street, Paddington, stopped the prisoner, and gave him into custody _ _ . Olancostes, 315 A, said he had not been able to get the owner of the bag in attendance, and Mr. Tyrwhitt re manded the prisoner. THAMES. AUDACIOUS ROBBERY.—Thomas Brown alias Parker, described as a carman, aged 18, was brought before Mr Partridge charged with being concerned with two others in stealing two large and heavy rolls of Lisle thread, a material for making gloves. On Friday afternoon one of Pickford's drivers pulled up his van and horses in Raven-row, Whitechapel, and left them in charge of a boy while he went to a neighbour ing public-house to obtain refreshment. Directly after wards the prisoner, who is also in Pickford's employ, and two others, entered the van, told the boy it was all right, and proceeded to force open a large package of goods, from which they took two long rolls of Lisle thread, and called a cab off the stand. The thieves were about to enter the cab, but the cab driver refused to take them, and said a robbery had been committed. By that time the driver of the van returned, an alarm was raised, and the thieves ran away. The prisoner alone was secured, and the pro perty recovered. The two rolls of Lisle thread were sup posed to contain 100 yards, and to be worth £lO. William Hunt, a police constable, No. 424 IC, who had charge of the case, said he found six new spoons on the prisoner, and he believed they were stolen from another package in the van. He wished for a remand to enable him to trace the owner of the property, ascertain its real value, and capture the other thieves. Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner for a week. WESTMINSTER. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Jane Head, a genteel-looking young woman, was charged with stealing a quantity of miscellaneous property from the house of Mr. Williams, Sloane-street, Knightsbridge. Mr. Williams said he kept a lodging-house, and the pri soner was in his service from the Bth of May to the 20th of July last. During the time she was , there several things were missed, and amongst them two.,gold rings belonging to a gentleman staying in the house. As the prisoner wab leaving, she was asked whether she knew anything about them, and replied in the negative ; but on search being made, one of the rings was found in her pocket, and she soon produced the other. On her saying that she had not taken anything else she was permitted to go at large, but subsequently a great number of other things were missed, and stops taken to apprehend the accused. _ _ Peter Smith, 163 B, said that he went to Peterborough, Northamptonshire, last night, and apprehended the pri soner. He there found a leathern bag, some lace, a pearl necklace, and other articles. Elizabeth Bally, lady's-maid to Mrs. Pechell, identifi3d the things produced as belonging to that lady. It was stated that prisoner's father is in prison for felony, and there is a charge of a similar description against the mother. Prisoner pleaded guilty. She was committed for four months to hard labour, having been recommended to mercy by the prosecutor.

THE EXPENSES OF NEW YORK CITY—NEW YORK, July 25.—The Comptroller's estimate for the city and county expenditures for 1866 are $18,000,000, of whi c h $16,500,000 are to be raised by a direct tax. New York city pays $3,000,000 of this tax. I . ADVERTISEMENT. .1 —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— These wonderful productions have now become so appre ciated in every part of the world that they form a complete household treasure ; the worst cases of ulcers, wounds, and every variety of skin diseases, for which so many re medies have been tried without effect, readily succumb to their power. They act so miraculously upon the system as to be considered a complete phenomena in the healing art. For this reason they are advocated by many modern practitioners, after everything else has proved unsuccess ful. Those complaints especially which affect the seden tary and studious give way, as mist before the rising sun, to the influence of the Pills.

Intelligence has been received from Hong Kong of the total loss of the ship Libelle, while on a voyage to that port from San Francisco, having on board a valuable cargo, specie to the extent of £76,000 in dollars, and a number of passengers, among whom were Madame Ann Bishop (the wife of Sir Henry Bishop, the composer), Miss Phelan, Mr. M. Schrutz, and Mr. Charles Lascelles, of the English Opera Company, who, with other artistes, were on a musical tour. The ship was cast away on the night of the 4th of March on ah uninhabited and dangerous reef, called Wake Island in the China seas. The passengers remained on board dur ing the night, the sea breaking fearfully over the wreck all the while. They were all landed with difficulty, through the breakers, the following day. After an ineffectual search over the island for water for three weeks, and suffering much privation, it became imperative to take the boats and endeavour to reach the nearest habitable island friendly dis posed to defenceless shipwrecked people. Several days were spent in finding a suitable and safe point for departure, the breakers encircling the island, which appeared to be some 20 miles in circumference. Taking such provisions and water as were saved from the wreck, the passengers were transferred to the ship's long-boat, in charge of the first mate, the captain preferring another boat, and on the 27th of March both boats sailed for the Ladrone or Mariana island. To attempt a voyage 1,400 miles, subject to equinoctial storms, calms, and a tropical sun, with short rations, and an ocean studded with hidden rocks and coral reefs, gave but poor hopes of arriv ing at a pert with life. However, after encountering great dangers, and enduring horrible sufferings for 13 days and nights, the long-boat arrived off the town of Guan. An error in six degrees longitude had brought them off that place. The lady passen gers, and in fact every one in the boat, were in a pitiable and forlorn condition. His Excellency Francisco Mosoosey Lara, Go vernor of the Mariana Islands, on being apprised of their landing, directed every help and succour to be afforded them. The poor creatures were loud in their expressions of thanks for his hospitable con duct. Nothing had been heard of the other boat, containing the master and the rest of the crew - up to the departure of the last mail. They parted com pany on the first night after their departure for the island. Unless the boat was picked up by some chance vessel, it was apprehended it must have been sw amped, as heavy cross seas were met with that night. His Excellency has sent a schooner in search of the missing boat among the islands to the north ward, and then to proceed to the wreck and recover the £76,000 in spece. It had been saved from the wreck, and had for security been buried in the island on the beach. Railway Traffic Returns for the Week. Receipt s. ..,.._ ...- •- -•-•% . 18C6 1865 £ £ Belfast and N.

BOWYER asked the noble lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he had seen the despatch which had been published in the newspapers, to the effect that the Emperor of the French had made a demand for the rectification of the frontiers by the cession of certain territory to France ? He should like to know whether the statement was true, and also whether the noble lord could inform the house what answer had been made to the demand of Franco ? Lord STANLEY said he had received information that communications had passed, and were now passing be tween the Governments of France and Berlin, but with respect to the nature of those communications he could give the hon. baronet no information, neither could he givo him any information with respect to the reply that had been given to the demand.
