MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL IN TELL IGE NCB, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Discount Market continues to present symp toms of activity, but, excepting at the Bank of England, the business negotiated is not extensive. The. brokers prefer to take short-dated bankers' acceptances upon terms varying from 8} per cent. to ordinary commercial bills at 1 per cent. higher. There was an influx of gold at the Bank yester day, amounting to £47,000, viz., £15,000 in bar gold and 32,000 sovereigns, the latter received from Alexandria. The Thornbury Bank (Messrs. Heywood, Flet cher, and Co.), and the Clevedon Bank (Messrs. Harwood and Co.), have transeferred their accounts to the London and Westminster. Bank. The Lan gollen Bank (Messrs. Richards and Co.), and the Guildford Bank (Messrs. Haydons and Co)., have transferred their accounts to the National Provincial Bank of England. The bills of Messrs. Snead and Co., bankers, Chepstow, have been returned by their agents, the London and Westminster Bank. The difficulties are stated to have arisen through forged bills, but as the business has always been conducted judiciously a good liquidation is anticipated. During the last few days there has been only a limited amount of business transacted in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Market. Sugars, however, have generally maintained former rates, while a con siderable decline has taken place in the value of coffee. Rice has been held for enhanced rates, while in tallow a fair amount of business has been done for both present and forward delivery at stead prices. The coupons for the half-yearly interest on the first mortgage bonds of the New York division, and the second mortgage bonds Pennsylvania and Ohio division of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company, are announced for`payinent on the 2d of July. Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co. have this day received the following remittances on account of the New Granada dividends :—From the Custom-house of Santa Marta, £1,989 15s. ; ditto Sabanilla, £l6l Is. Id. ; making a total of £2,150 16s. ld. Besides the present arrival there was received on the 25th May last £3,683, and on the 30th £325. Two o!CLocK. According to Reuter's telegrams this morning, the French Rentes were 63f. 05c. Very firm. Beyond a rise of 1 per cent. recorded last night in the English Funds there has been - an additional advance of 1, and affairs altogether present a better appearance.

BAIL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Lush and a Common Jury.) JENKINS V. MOORE. This was an action to recover £lO5 for money lent •and paid on account to the defendant, Mary Meore, an aunt of the plaintiff, to which' she pleaded that she was never in debted. Mr. 3: 0. Griffiths appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Powell, Q.C., and Mr. W. J. B. Smith for the defendant. From the statement of counsel and the evidence for the plaintiff it appeared that the latter was employed at a shipwright's at Sheerness, and although a young man from saving habits was enabled to accumulate over £lOO. In the April of 1865 the defendant suggested to the plain tiff that he 'should assist her to get into business, and an ar rangement was made by him for the purchase of the Eagle Tavern at Sheerness, on which he paid a deposit of £2O, and she entered into possession of the establishment.. He had previously lent her £BO, and after the purchase of the Eagle Tavern he made her a further advance of £5. He obtained no acknowledgment for the different sums of money at the - time of lending them, but on the event of a fire breaking out in the • premises, by which a considerable portion of the property of the defendant was destroyed, lie got an I 0 U from her for the full amount lent, and dated the 2d of April, 1865, some months previously, the ground of which was that it was the day on which the £BO was advanced. The plaintiff lodged with the defendant, but always paid her for his board and lodging. On applying for his money the plain tiff was surprised by the defendant stating that she owed him nothing; and when the I 0 U was produced she denied that it was in her handwriting. On the other side evidence was given, from wliich it appeared that the defendant had been in the service of most respectable families, and had saved up a large sum of money for a person in her station of life, and that it was most improbable that she should have borrowed any money from the plaintiff, or that from his youth, and the nature of his employment, he could have required the amount of . money which he alleged ho had advanced to the plaintiff COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Lord Chief Justice Cock burn and a Special Jury.) VALENTIN V. HALL. The cross-examination of the plaintiff was resumed this morning, and' her case is not likely to be closed before to morrow. - POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ---This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SERIOUSLY INJURING A BOY.—Eliza Narsh, a German laundress, carrying on business at No. 87, Charlotto-street, Fitzroy-square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting a boy named 'William Carr, residing at No. 8, Bennett-street, Fitzroy-square. The complainant, whose head was enveloped in a ban dage, said, a little after 10 o'clock last night some niggers were singing and playing outside a public-house, when a boy ran into the prisoner's shop and called her a name. The prisoner then camo to the door with a can of water and lung it into the street, and it struck him on the head cutting it very badly. I was afterwards taken to Dr. Saul's in Charlotte-stroot, and had the wound attended to. The prisoner (through Mr. Albert)—Was it not done accidentally ? The bay - She threw the can at anybody. Mr. Tyrwhitt (to the boy)—ls all the blood I seegabout you from the wound? The boy—Yes, sir, I lost a deal of blood. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Had you been in the shop ? _ . The boy—No, sir. Police-constable Thomas Boyce, 55 o—Last night I saw the' a boy coming out of the doctor's, bleeding so profusely that I could scarcely see his face. The boy told me that the prisoner had struck him in the head with a can, and I took her into custody, when she denied all knowledge of it. The can—a half-gallon one—was smashed by one of the boys about the .street. The wound the boy had received was about two inches in length, and it had to bo sewn up. Mr. Tyrwhitt —lt will be my duty to remand the pri soner to see how the boy gets on, because especially in this hot weather there is danger of erysipelas setting in. It was a most improper thing to throw such a can into the street. THAMES. Lovrits' QmuutELS.—ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Matilda Naylor, a very pretty fair-haired girl, with great simplicity of manners, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with attempting to commit suicido in the water of the Regent's Canal, at Limehouse. A police-constable of the K division statedthat ho was on duty at the top of Salmon's-lane last night, and heard that a female had plunged into the canal from the bridge. He found the prisoner on the bank. She had just been talten out of the water, and was nearly insensible. She said she had been quarrelling with her young man, and that he caused her to make the rash attempt on her life. Mr. Paget asked the prisoner if she had anything to say, and she replied in a simple and artless manner, "I quarrelled with thqs.pung man I have been keeping company with." Mr. Y'aget —And that caused you to commit this wicked act? The prisoner—Yes, sir. John Wallace, a youth, said ho had been keeping com pany with the prisoner for three months. He left her at the corner of the Dog-row,•Mile-end, last night, at a quar ter past 10 o'clock. They had some words, and she would not let him see her home, and said she would go home by herself. The mother of the prisoner was desired to enter the witness-box, and she said—l know nothing about it at all. My daughter left home yesterday afternoon very •com fortably at half-past two o'clock. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner for a week to the Clerkenwell House of Detention, where she will have the benefit of the spiritual advice and consolation of the worthy chaplain. Mr. Paget, at the same time, directed the mother of the girl to attend the court when the daughter was again brought up. The Mother—Please, sir, can I see my poor daughter; let mo see her. Mr. Paget—You can see her; speak to the gaoler. The prisoner was removed from. the court crying for her mother, with whom Roche, the gaoler, soon arranged au interview. THE MURDER IN ROSEMARY-LANE. —Inspector Dondy applied to. Mr. Paget for summonses in the case of Patrick Harrington, who stabbed his son-in-law on Sunday night. We stated yesterday that it was intended to commit the prisoner for trial, but owing to the prisoner's strong asseve rations of innocence, it was deemed necessary that addi tional confirmatory evidence should bo given to the state ments of Cornelius Leary and his son Daniel, who swore that the prisoner struck Peter Mann, his son-in-law, on the right breast, that the deceased reeled, called out "Old man you have stabbed me," that the blood gushed from a wound on the breast, and that the young man turned over and died immediately. Inspector Dendy said that several others would confirm the testimony of the Learys, and that there was no dis position on the part of any of the Irish who saw the fatal blow struck to screen the prisoner. Mr. Paget granted the summonses, and they wore made out by Mr. Nairn, the second clerk, and entrusted to Howland, No. 89 H., one of the summoning officers of the court to execute. The atrocious murderhas created a great feeling of indignation in the locality where it took place. WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—Maria Parnell a young married woman with an infant in her arms, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a great quantity of wearing apparel. The prosecutrix, who described herself as Frances Stevenson, said that the prisoner lived in her service in June, 1861, for six weeks, and suddenly left one morning without a word of notice, taking with her some dresses shawls, petticoats, &c. She never hoard anything of her afterwards, and met her last night, when she gave her into custody. Mr. Smyth, for prisoner, cross-examined prosecutrix, who again and again swore positively that she was sure she was her former servant, and iu this respect she was confirmed by a girl who also lived in her house. Mr. Smyth furthor cross-examined the prosecutrix, who admitted that she had once before charged a gentleman at this Court with robbing her of a watch, but he was ac quitted on the ground of mistaken identity. She was then " gay," but had since married.

TIMM; MEN KILLED IN A PIT SHAFT.—On Thursday morning at Benhar, adjoining Harthill, in the parish of Whitburn, throe men named William Pato, John and James Hare (brothers), and Robert Hare, their uncle, were engaged in clearing out the shank and level of a pit in order to get rid of an accumulation of water. They got on to the cage to descend the pit, when the chain snapped near the pulley on the top of the pit-head frame, and the four unfortunate men were precipitated down the pit a depth of 20 fathoms. William Pate was killed in stantaneously; Robert Hare died about an hour after the occurrence ; and John and James Hare were found to be very seriously hurt. The dead bodies of the two men wore conveyed home in carts, and the two injured were conveyed home on stretchers. John Hare, who had to undergo am putation of one of his legs, died the same night in about three hours after the operation. The men were all married, and have left families. ---- • - The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 00 days' sight is about 1091 per cent.

B. writes to the Times as follows :—As it is possible that some journals which affect to repre sent public opinion may a llude to a scene which oc curred to-day as a proof o f the real feeling of the working men of the metropolis on the question of Reform, I beg permission to describe what that scene really was, and of what ingredients its prin cipal actors were composed. • Returr.ing quiet ly from' the House through the Green Park, ruminating over the scanty intelligence which had been furnished me by Mr. Gladstone, I suddenly heard yells proceeding from some dis tance behind me, which, as I paused to listen, gave notice, by their increasing dissonance, of their rapid approach. A divergence of a hundred yards or so brought me in view of three gentlemen walking abreast, pursued by about 20 men and twice as many boys and girls, who were engaged in serenading them with the music that first attracted my attention. My first impression was that Mr. Villiers was being escorted home by pauper lunatics, who were adopting this mode of congratulating him on his admirable management of metropolitan workhouse infirmaries ; but a nearer inspection showed me that this was a grand reform demonstration, and that the working-man was expressing his disapprobation of the opposition to the Government Reform Bill in general and of the conduct of Mr. Lowe in parbi cular. Seeing him but slenderly attended, and judging from the appearance of his followers that something more than insult might be intended, I joined his small bodyguard and walked with him to the steps of the Duke of York's column, where he got into a carriage and drove away . During .the walk I took especial notice of th e ver y few grown men who contributed a ;very inadequate base to the shrill treble of the boy -and- g i r l ma jority of serenaders. know something of the real working man of tOndon, and I can safely assert that not more than : two or three of the little mob bore the least resem- Wince to the class intended to be represented. The 1 • great majority were of that stamp whose proximity leads a man instinctively to button up his coat and feel for his watch. Two or three were indisputably drunk, and of these ono, a young fellow, about as ill-favoured an example of a non-elector as I have yet come across, lurched past me twice, and on each occasion endeavoured to articulate some dangerous doctrines, the syllables of which, however, like the Reform Bill itself, became f used in committee in his mouth, and never either redistributed or repro duced themselves in an intelligible shape. Are we to expect, Sir, much more of this ? Is this the true expression of " popular opinion ?" I see that great meetings are being held express ing firm confidence in the Government, and an earnest desire for the dissolution of Parliament. May I ask of what materials these meetings are cowposed ? Captain Waddell and the Shenandoah, The Times correspondent, writing from Mel bourne on April 26, notices some extraordinary statements, which appear to have been made on oath to the Unitbd States Government by a man named Temple, professing to describe the proceed ings relating to the Shenandoah, when in that port in the month of February of last year. Assuming that Temple's deposition is accurately abstracted, hefinds the deponent stating as follows : s That on her (the Shenandoah's) arrival at Melbourne she was received in the most cordial manner by the officials and people of that port, and had every facility afforded to obtain supplies and make repairs ; that the officers of the Shenandoah were entertained on shore, and in their turn entertained the officials of Melbourne on board the Shenan doah ; that Captain Waddell entertained privately on the Shenandoah the Governor of Melbourne ; that the Govern ment engineer at Melbourne was on the vessel two or three times a day, and, if he did not superintend the repairs that wore being made, at least gave the benefit of his ad vice; that at the time they left Melbourne they had more than 40 persons stowed away on board the vessel, all of whom were and enrolled upon the ship's articles before they went out of sight of land." The Times correspondent continues : " Now, in reference to the above passage, which is all that relates to Melbourne, you may find in the letter of your own correspondent for the month of February, 1865, a circumstantially correct account of The proceedings and 'treatment of the offiders of the Shenandoah in this port and city, and that account is diametrically opposite to the one deposed to by Temple. In point of fact, the Governor, so far from being entertained by Captain Waddell, never had even an interview with him or any of his officers ; no member of the Government ever visited the Shenandoah, or the Shenandoah's officers, or any of them, or ever had any but strictly official communications with the ship, such commu nications being confined to the subject of the amount of repairs and supplies which could be permitted to Captain Waddell for the purpose of enabling his ship to leave our port. So far from the Shenan doah having been welcomed by the Government here, it is quite fresh in the memories of the people of Melbourne that the Government, on re ceiving well-authenticated information that Capt. Waddell had in his vessel British subjects who had been shipped in Melbourne in violation of the Foreign Enlistment Act, caused a warrant to be issued for the apprehension of the men, which war rant Captain Waddell would not allow to be exe cuted; that at this time his ship was on the patent slip, and that on Captain Waddell's resisting the search of his ship ho was refused assistance in getting her off the slip; that the following morn ing the Argus had an article with a sensational heading, Seizure of the Shenandoah,' the Govern ment being denounced for inhospitable treatment of the vessel; that, to the confusion of the sympa thising believers in Captain Waddell's ' word of honour as a gentleman and an officer,' which backed his assertion that he had no one on board whom he had not brought into port with him, four men were arrested by our police one night, when being rowed away from the ship, all of whom had been secretly shipped in Melbourne ; that two of these men were afterwards prosecuted to conviction by our own authorities in our Supreme Court for violating the Foreign Enlistment Act ; and that whatsoever men were finally shipped by the cap tain were taken into the vessel outside the Heads, and beyond the control of our Government. That the officers of the Shenandoah were privately en tertained by certain members of the Melbourne Club and at Ballarat is as certain as it is certain that the Government had no right or power to in terfere with these private hospitalities. And when Temple deposes " that Captain Waddell entertained privately on the Shenandoah the Governor of Mel bourne," I half suspect that he must mean the then Mayor, inasmuch as I believe that civic dignitary did visit the Shenandoah, and we have no Governor of Melbourne eo nomine. I cannot suppose that so sensible a man as Mr. Seward or Mr. Adams would propose to hold her Majesty Queen Victoria liable for an exuberant Melbourne Mayor's admiration, which must be equally innocent and harmless, whether bestowed on a Confederate Captain or on a State coach." —Anglo - American Times. ELOPEMENT OF A BRIDE.—An amusing scene has been enacted in Cirencester during the week, the chief performer being a Mrs. B—, from the neighbour hood 'of Rodditch, who arrived in the town on Thursday ; last, withher newly-married husband. Tho quarters chosen merry adoreta. The as a marriage-bell," were situate at an inn, not a long way from Dyer-street. E th v e e m arried couple were accompanied by the bridesmaid and h ry u t s h ba ie n g d s ca cie l m li e n d g t h o is go w o if n e "as his father in church," and were on the eve of returning to Tewkesbury, after hsving . seen the newly married couple off to London. The delighted husband was so pleased with his young wife's charms that during their stay at Cirences ter he made her several purchases out of the money he was foolish enough to obtain by the sale of some houses in the neighbourhood of Redditch (the facts of which ho gave to our correspondent). Tuesday evening was fixed upon for the start, and dinner for the four was prepared at 4 o'clock, at which they were seated, when, shortly after that, a stranger arrived at the inn, and seated himself in a chair by the fire. Alas, the scene ! We now describe it. It appears that some years ago the stranger was the first love of Mrs. B—, and immediately she saw the gentleman she rose from her seat, shook him by the hand, and invited him to partake of dinner. The invitation was accepted. At this juncture Mr. B— left the table and called out his wife. She followed, and shortly again resumed her seat. Tho husband wont it for a walk to console his feelings and on his return ho found that the two had fled, the lady love not forgetting to take his purse, containing some £32. He immediately searched the town, but to no effect ; his viola tricolour (or "heart's ease") had duped him. OnWed nesday he left for Stroud, taking with him the bridesmaid and _ father at church."—North Wilts herald. 36 i 53 21 1211 I 26 56 1 6 17 ICj 9'4 1301 Pi t S 7 124} I 61 241 I'Bl 691 70j 691 1021 2 1:71 151 i EVENING, JUNE 26, 1866.

THE METROPOLITAN MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION. —On Monday tho general council of this association issued an address, which commences as follows :—" For many years past the local government of the metropolis has excited a serious and growing discontent. It is a matter ol notoriety that the first city in the empire is one of tho worst and most expensively governed. A want of system is conspicuous in every department of its management. The sewers, especially in the poOrer districts, aro in a state of dilapidation and decay ; the paving, except in some of the leading thoroughfares, is greatly out of repair, and in many cases dangerous ; the lighting is defective, both as to the quality of the gas and the number of public lamps, whilst the prices charged both for public and private light ing are in excess of those which prevail in most other large towns in the United Kingdom. The cleansing and water - . . . ing are much neglected, and often so managed as to be of little use; the supply of water is left, without any control, in the hands of large commercial companies, who have never been called upon to comply with tho require ments of ,the Metropolis Water Act as to constant supply and having their street service at all times charged with water. As a neceseary consequence, the water available for general and domestic use is scanty, especially among the humbler classes, who do not obtain sufficient for the purposes of cleanliness and health. It has also been shown before a Parliamentary committee that many of the existing local authorities of the metropolis have neglected to enforce the provisions of the Metropolis Gas Act, the Water Act, Adulteration of Food Act, and even the requirements of the acts expressly passed for the bettor local management of the metropolis kayo not been en forced, especially those in relation to sanitary measures. The inefficiency of the present administrative bodies arises, no doubt, in some measure fromdivid.ed jurisdic tions, many of them working without concert, and with no care for the convenience of neighbouring districts ; and the existing system is rendered expensive by the number of establiskments and the multitude of officers which have to be maintained. Under the provisions of the Metropolis Local Management Act alone, there are 39 vestries and district boards, each having an independent existence and government, for the purposes of paving, lighting, cleansing, and the sowargo of the metropolis. The Metropolitan Board, which is formed of representa tives from these several vestries and district boards, in whom is vested great powers of taxing the ratepayers, and of expenditure upon public improvements, is, from its constitution and modes of election, a prac dm* irresponsible body. Tho magistrates for the counties of Middlesex, Kent, and Surrey also exorcise ex • tensivo jurisdiction and large powers of taxation within the metropolitan districts, uncontrolled by representative action. The defects of the present system are patent, and the expense is enormous —amongst these defects there is no provision made for a proper audit and publication of the auditors' reports. As an example of the comparative cost of management between consolidated and divided districts, the parish (not the borough) of St. Marylebone and the city of Westminster may be taken. The population of, each is about the same. - - - • FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. —At the last Bit ting the President announced that the second public quarterly ono would take place on the 4th of July next. M. Deless presented a geological map of the subterranean strata of the department of the Seine. This map is con structed on the scale of one to 25,000. A 'letter was re ceived from M. Simonin announcing that on the 29th of January M. Malard had sent in a paper on certain aurife rous deposits in the Limousin and the department of the Marna, where it seemed he had discovered neither more nor less than a Gallic California. M. Simonin now con firms this statement, adding that on the other side of the Cevennes ho has found other placers, which in his opinion must have produced all the gold possessed by the ancient Gauls. Dr. Jobert, probably a candidate for the 100,000 f. prize, sent in a paper, iu which he endeavours to prove that a fall of the barometer, a tropical heat, and confined air are quite sufficient to cause a spontaneous epidemic invasion of cholera. We trust that the learned doctor will allow that these three causes have existed simultaneously thousands of times, without giving rise to such an epidemic. But .a prize of £4,000 looming in the distance will occasionally produce wonderful discoveriob Dr. nougat read a paper in which, on the strength of nume rous photographs, ho endeavoured to settle the vexed ques tion of muscular motion, generally attributed in France to fibrous contractibility, and in Germany to the phenomenon of elasticity. Dr. Rouget is of the latter opinion. M. Charles, St. Claire Devine has for soup nkontlls past been communicating papers to the Academy on certain meteor ological researches of his for the purpose of proving that the months of February, May, August, and November aro remarkable for certain periodical variations of temperature. Ho has found in those four months variations of tempera ture intimately allied with those of the barometer. THE ENGLISH PAINTED BY THE FRENCII.—NO French draughtsman, no French word-painter, ever depicts the English young lady save as a tall, rigid, and angular female—comely of face if you will, but standing bolt upright as a life-guardsman, with her arms pendent and her eyes demurely cast down. She- always wears a straw bonnet of the coal-scuttle form, or an enormous flap-hat with a green veil. Her hands, encaset: in beaver gloves, and her feet, which aro in sandalled shoes, are very large. Sho usually carries a capacious reticule in variegated straw of a bold chessboard pattern. She seldom wears an y crinoline, and her hair is arranged in long ringlets most judiciously drooping. She seldom opens her mouth but to ejaculate " Shocking!" It is absolutely astounding to find so accurate an observer and so graphic a narrator as Monsieur Theophile Gautier falling into this dull and false conventionalism in his charming book on Spain. He is describing Gibraltar, and is very particular in the portrayal of such a Mees Anglaise as I have sketched above. The fidelity of the por trait will of course be fullyappreciated by all British officers who have mounted guard over the Pillars of Hercules. . . . It is curious that the French, ordinarily so keen of per ception and so shrewd in social dissection, should not, by tls time, have discovered some other and really existent- types of English tourists, male and female, to supply the place of the obsolete and well-nigh mythi cal "Dees," with her long ringlets, her green veil, her large hands and foot, and her figure full of awkward and ungainly angles. And may not the British Baronet, with his tdp-boots, and his bull-dog, and his hoarse cries for his servant "Jhon," and his perpetual thirst for "grogs," be reckoned among the extinct animals 2—Dickens's "All the Year Round." THE SOUTII WALES IRON AND COAL TR A.DES.— The rupture of the peace of Europe in Germany is likely to be more disastrously felt in the manufacturing dis tricts of Great Britain than many people anticipate. Italy , and some of the German States aro among our best cus tomers, and any departure from the peaceful pursuits which latterly characterised the people of those States is sure sooner or later to make itself felt in England. It was hardly thought, however, that the evil consequences of an Euro pean war would so soon devolopo themselves. Tho falling off in orders within the last week or two has been alarm ingly groat. In most of the large establishments of Mon mouthshire and South Wales the demand, which a month ago was more than brisk, is now reduced to almost nothing. A Month ago there was a general apprehension throughout these districts that the continual drain of emigration would produce an inconvenient scarcity of hands. Tho case is now altered—the position of things reversed. We have reason to believe that at some of the ironworks orders aro so scarce that the discharge of workmen his already com menced, and at one establishment which in ordinary times employs about 5,000 hands there is not a single order worth mentioning on the books. At this place the proprietors have already commenced stacking, which means reduced labour and by and by reduced wages. It is impossible to say when a turn for the better may take place ; but the pro bability is that trade in South Wales will continuo in a languishing state, to say the least, for the whole period of the war. Ironmasters and coalowners feel especially soli citous about the attitude which may be assumed by the French Emperor, as they believe that a departure froth strict neutrality by that potentate will immeasurably ag gravate the conflict by giving other Powers a pretext for intervention, and so make matters worse for them.. At this inopportune period, too, the colliers of the Rhondda Valley have determined to strike for an advance of wages. A few weeks ago the men sent in their request for an advance, and the masters thereupon convened a meeting andformed themselves into an association to resist the demand. In- deed an opinion was freely expressed that if the present state of things continues they will have no alternative but to reduce tho wages now paid to tho men. The decision to resist the application for an advance was communicated to the men last week, and the latter have responded by a ge neral notice to leave the works in a month unless a settle ment can be previously arrived at. We hope some satis factory arrangement will be made. The masters, how over,, can concede nothing. The only thing to be done is for the men to withdraw their notice, and rest and be thankful that things are not worse than they are. The prospect before them is by no means to be contemplated with satisfaction. The 48th (Northamptonshire) Regiment, under the command of Col. J. G. R. Aplin, and consist ing of 33 officers, 728 men, 7 horses, 78 women, and 98 children, arrived at Aldershott Camp on Thursday afternoon, from Shorncliffe. The regi ment is temporarily stationed in the west block . Pernlanent - Barracks. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.--LAST EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock.

THE MOVEMENTS OF THE ARMIES ON THE CONTINENT. ' 4) Lord RAVENSWORTH said, seeing tho noble lord at the head of the Government in his place, I beg to ask him whether the statement that has appeared in the London papers, and corroborated by a statement in the 21foniteur to the effect that the Hanoverian army had been surrounded and had been compelled to capitulate, was correct ? I have also to ask whether the statement with regard to the Italian army was authentic ? The public interest on both points was intense. Earl RUSSELL—I have only to reply to my noble friend that the Government have received no official or authentic information on the matters referred to. THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS. Earl RUSSELL, who spoke in a low tone of voice, said her Majesty's Ministers considered that, in conse quence of the vote which took place in - the other house in reference to the great Ministerial mea sure, that they had only one course to- pursue, and that was to tender their resignation. In my capacity as Primo Minister I had to forward that formal resignation, and I have received an answer from her Majesty to the effect that she hoped the Ministry would not persist in forcing that resignation, especially in consideration of the present excited state of affairs on tho Continent. Wo are to meet her Majesty to morrow at Windsor between 12 and 1 o'clock, and under these circumstances I have t o as k th e h ouse t o postpone the consideration of public business untill to morrow at six o'clock. The suggestion was agreed to. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING. The SPEAR.= took the chair at 4 o'clock, at which hour li•are was a large attendance of members. MESSAGE FflOM THE QUEEN. Lord PROBY brought up the reply of the Queen to the address of the house for a commission to inquire into the supply of coal; her Majesty gave her assent to the ap pointment of a commission. NEW WRIT. A new writ was ordered to issue for Hertford for the election of a member in the place of tho late Sir Minto Farquhar. LONDON WORKHOUSES. Mr. RAWCETT gave notice of his intention to put a question to the President of the Poor Law Board as to what stops it was proposed to take with respect to the sanitary condition of the London workhouses. ____ ---------- THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS. The CIIANCELL9R of the EXCHEQUER said his noble friend at the head of the Government had ob tained her Majesty's permission to acquaint the house that, in consequence of the vote on Monday last, her Majesty's advisers had deemed it their duty to tender to her Majesty their resignation, but her rajesty was pleased to consider that it was not advisable to accept their resignation without further consi deration—(slight cheering)—her Majesty feeling it neces sary to have personal communication with them ; and, while he was speaking her Majesty was on her road to Windsor. His noble friend at the head of the Government and himself were to meet her Majesty at one o'clock. Under those circum stances, ho should move that the house at its rising adjourn until to-morrow at six o'clock. It was not, therefore, proposed to proceed with any public business likely to occasion debate, but there was a motion which would be made by his hon. friend, and it was a vote on account of the revenue and packet service, which was to enable certain payments to be made at the end of the month which it was desirable to provide for. That would be the only Government business proceeded with that night. Mr. CHILDERS said he found he could not proceed with his motion for the vote on account without notice, and therefore he should postpone it for the present. The orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned until to-morrow at six o'clock. The feeling in the house appeared to be perfectly unex citable. Not a cheer welcomed the appearance of the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he entered the house, and not the slightest manifestation took place when the right hon. gentleman resumed his seat. The business of the day was very speedily disposed of, after the aunouncement of the almuleellor,of, the Exchequer, and the members then rose from their seats and quitted the house. Four members, however, sat in close conversation on the front bench below the gangway for some time after all the members of the Government and Opposition had left, and those four were Mr. Lowe, Lord Elcho, Earl Grosvenor, and Sir Charles Russell. The topic under discussion seemed to be very interesting, as it was carried on by the hon. members with the greatest animation. There was great excitement outside the house, nearly 1,000 of the working classes having assembled to witness the entrance of the members. On the entrance of Mr. Doulton ho was received with loud groans and hisses. Mr Lowe and Mr. Disraeli were received in a similar manner. Sir Lytton Bulwer was received with the greatest resptzt: most of the persons present lifting their hats, which was. respectfully acknowledged by the right hon. baronet. Mr. Bernal Osborne and Mr. Layard came in use, but when Mr. Gladstone arrived for a fair share of appi. 7 . in his carriage, accom pa u lied by his son, the member for Chester, the enthusiasm of ti," crowd knew no bounds. Mr. Gladstone, as he quitted the posse,again received another ovation by the crowd, and the cheering that greeted him as he emerged from Westmiotcr Hall was tremen4ous. Mr. Bright and Mr. Fawcett ales received the most enthusiastic applause, but when Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Lowe, and Lord Dunkellin made their appearance the hissing and hooting was loud and general. Sir Robert Pool seemed highly indignant at his reception, but Mr. Lowe and his lordship made their way through the crowd without taking tho slightest Aotico of the noisy demonstration. THE MARRIED SOLDIER.—" One who never will rejoin" writes to the Army and Navy Gazette to give his reasons for adopting that determination and that signa ture, and cogent reasons they are. He is a private soldier who has served long and well in India and elsewhere, and is just married. He has brought his young wife to Chatham, where his regiment is, and is quartered in a room with three other married couples. There is no partition between their beds of any kind. His wife shrinks from dressing and undressing in the presence of three strange men, and they aro now living on dry broad in order to save money enough to buy a screen by which some sort of privacy may be obtained as the expense of ventilation. "One who never will rejoin" says that he does not complain on his own ac count; ho complains on account of the women and children of his regiment, who are treated by the military authorities with loss consideration than a farmer would treat his swine. It appears to be assumed by them that a ifoldier'S wife has no morals, no feelings, no sense of decency, no respect for herself or affection for her children: and then they appoint Royal Commissions to inquirp why good men will not en list, and why all soldiers, good and bad, seek to leave the service as soon as they can.: Her Majesty was much shocked some time since at seeing the scanty accommoda tion provided for tho xnarriod soldiers of the Life Guards and Blues at Windsor. What would her feelings be were she to inspect the quarters "of one who will never servo again" at Chatham.—Pall Mall Gazettc SILKIVOR3IS.—The French Academy of Sciences has received a communication from Dr. Dronke, on the disease of the silkworm.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per Z 1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Z 3 lis. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. —This Da NEWCASTLE RACES—Tins DAY.

An attempt has been made to revive here the meeting which mot with such signal failure when established by a limited liability company two years back.
