The Money Market is not quite so active as yesterday. A large number of the bills brought forward soon after the reduction in the rate has been provided for, and there is consequently less eagerness shown to obtain accommodation. After the lapse of a day or two it is expected that the rates in the open market will be fractionally lowered. At present they are 24, and 3 per cent. for the best The China has been announced from New York with £105,654. The alterations in the Bank of England return are very encouraging.

The English Stock Market opened with an ap pearance of heaviness, and a decline of 1 per cent. was soon afterwards reported. The improvement Yesterday induced sales, which have resulted in a depreciation of all descriptions. Consols for money are quoted 904 1, and for the account 901 1.

Warrant Finance, a How to Execute President Davis 4 , -- In connection with this matter, it is well to notice the fiendish coolness with which certain people speculate on the accompaniments of Mr. Davis's execution. A person writing to a Boston news paper suggests that the usual " forms" (as he is pleased to term them) of the law be set aside in this case, and that the Confederate President be executed at some central point, most convenient to the whole country, so that all who wish to see " a traitor's death" may witness the process of stran gulation. Another " loyal" correspondent is of the opinion that the gallows should be manu factured from timber furnished by the several States--a portion from each State. One man wants him hung with a twisted American flag. A woman has sent to the Wi.r Department, from Charleston, a rope manufactured by her husband especially for the purpose. Another woman has given to the public a brilliant thought, to the effect that the fatal cord shall be composed of strands spun from hemp grown in the several States, one strand from each State. This female should travel in company with the man who suggests a gallows of national construction. Still another person, who evidently has not heard of the rope sent from Charleston, thinks that the cord should be made of South Carolina hemp. A man, who calls himself "A Citizen of Norfolk, 'Virginia," advertises in a Norfolk paper that if the Govern ment does not want to kill Mr. Davis, he (the advertiser) will agree to "do the job" himself. Nor do these infamous wretches stop here. They go beyond the gallows, and coolly discuss the " pro per disposition" of the body. One wants it buried with that of Booth ; another wants it weighted with rebel bullets and sunk in the deepest sea ; another still proposes cremation, and the scattering the ashes to the four - winds. Do not, good English readers; I entreat of you, take these things as an expression of the sentiments of the Northern people, for such they are not. They are the outcroppings of that ferocious spirit which suggested the starvation of Confederate prisoners in retaliation for wrongs alleged to have been inflicted upon captured Fe derals ; they are the fit results of the teachings of a Chandler and an Anna Dickinson. Dark as they are, they but illustrate human nature and show by comparison the worth of civilisation. And, thank God ! this show of utter vileness cannot defile the path of eternal justice, or sully the fame of a great, good man.—Letter from America. LAW INTELLIGENCE—June 15. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Erie and Justices Willes, Byles, and Smith.) GEORGE O'MALLEY IRWIN V. SIR GEORGE GREY BART. This case, having been set down in the list for argument, came on in its turn for hearing about two o'clock this day. It was, on a former occasion, set down for argument before the judges of the Exchequer Chamber ; but, as usual, by an application made on behalf of the defendant, was post poned. Mi. Irwin appeared in person, and claimed his right to have his case heard in its due course against the right hon. defendant, as it had been duly set down in the list of argu ments, and stated to the Court that he was prepared to pro ceed there sith. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. The adjourned special general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Euston Station —Mr. R. Moon in the chair. Mr. C. E. Stewart, the secretary, having read the notice of adjournment, The CHAIRMAN said they would now dispose of the remaining bills on their list. Nos. 8, 10, and 11 were not necessary to submit, No. 14 had been dropped, and No. 15 was ready to be submitted for their approval. It was a bill promoted by the Midland Railway Company for making a railway from Barnsley to Kirkburton, and it allowed them an exchange of running powers over their Kirkbur ton branch to Barnsley-. Mr. BROWN -WESTILEAD, M.P., seconded the motion, approving the bill, and it was adopted. The next bill submitted was No. 19, for autho rising the Sirhowy Railway Company to construct a railway, in substitution for the authorised exten sion of their railway to thMerthyr, Tredegar, and Abergavenny Railway, to make a deviation, and to use parts of the latter railway and the Monmouth shire Railway, and for other purposes. The bil was approved, and it was stated that this made an end of this company's Wharncliffe meetings for the present Session. Vale of Neath (transfer, &c.) Bill was continaei In Group 22, the clauses of the Caledonian ana Scottish Central Amalgamation Bill were passed ; and the preamble of the Edinburgh and Glasgow and Monkland Amalgamation Bill was proved. In the Lords' Committees yesterday, the Suther - land, the Caledonian (branch to Dumfries and Lockerby), the Mellis and Eye, and the Bury St. Edmund's and Thetford Bills passed. In commit tees of the Commons the clauses of the Midland (Barnsley to Kirkburton) Bill were passed. The cases of the Mansfield and Retford Bill, the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway 4(ex tension, &c.), and the Vale of Neath (transfer, &,.3.), were continued ; and the preamble of the Edin burgh and Glasgow (No. 2) Bill was proved. Naval and Military Intelligence. Chief Justice Erle stated that the Solicitor-General held a brief in the case on behalf of the defendant, and as he was engaged elsewhere declined to hear the case in his absence. Mr.lrwin replied that other counsel who possessed immense intellectual powers, viz., the Attorney-General, Mr. Hannon, and Mr. T. Jones held briefs also cn behalf of the defendant as well as the Solicitor-General, and claimed it as a right not to have any further delay or postponement of his case. He pressed on the court, that so doing was, in fact, a denial of justice. If his case would not now be heard, when it had regularly come to its turn, and when he was prepared to argue it, he called on the court, at least, to name some day for disposing of it, as ho had no other business in this country, and the expenses attending his absence from Ire land, and crossing the channel so often since 1862, when the venue was laid in the county of Surrey, but changed to Middlesex, on defendant's application, was ruinous and unjustifiable. Chief Justice Erle stated that, if Mr. Irwin wished, he might name Michaelmas Term, in November next. Mr. Irwin protested strongly against so long a postpone ment, and stated that the defendant had twice before made applications to two of the judges sitting in Chambers, Mr. Justice Montagu Smith and Mr. Justice Crompton, with the view of postponement till after the long vacation, and on each occasion the learned judges refused his appli cation. The Court, however, declined to name any day espe cially for the hearing of the case, so it remains in the list of cases for the sittings after the present term. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day were but moderate. For all qualities the demand ruled inactive, yet prices were unaltered from Monday. With foreign wheat the market was fairly supplied. Generally speaking, the demand ruled inactive on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain moved off steadily at full prices. Barley, of which the supply on sale was very moderate, sold slowly at late rates. Malt was in slow request at late rates. The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. Most descriptions were in fair demand at previous quotations. Beans and peas ruled firm at full currencies. There was a fair demand for flour at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK.

SUGAR.—There was no public sales yesterday, and in the private market only a few dealings were entered into at about previous rates. In t4e refined market common lumps are quoted 425. 9d. per cwt. TEA.—The public sales of Assam and other Indian teas have progressed with steadiness, and the late advance has been fully sustained. COFFEE.—Business has been dull and confined to a few operations in the private market, at about former prices. RlCE.—There has been a fair demand for export, and East Indian descriptions generally sustain former rates. TALLOW.—Tho market has been dull, although quota tions for both present and forward delivery remain steady. The Union Bank of Australia have announced the payment, on and after the Ist July, of the half year's interest due on the Queensland, New Zealand, and Wellington Loans, and also on and after the 30th June, on the Lyttelton and Christchurch (New Zealand) Railway Loan. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets there has been very little animation, and business yesterday was almost suspended, owing to the ab sence of most of the principal dealers at Ascot. Sugar, coffee, tea, and rice, however, generally sustain former rates, while tallow has been dull, but without any material change in value. The return issued by the Bank of France is not so satisfactory as generally expected. A decrease of £520,000 has taken place in the bullion, and of £680,000 in the current accounts, while a diminu tion is shown of £1,544,000 in the bills discounted-, of £20,000 in the advances, of £1,130,000 in the notes in circulation, and of £650,000 in the Trea sury balances. The adjourned special meeting of this company was held on Monday at the Bridge-house, Hotel, London-bridge, to receive the result of the poll on the question of appointing a committee of investiga tion ; the ?ton J. Byng in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that since he had the honour of meeting them on Friday last they had been afflicted on their railway with a most awful visitation. They could well imagine the pain it had caused both to the directors and officers of the company, and they felt they could only bow to this severe dispensation of Providence. They had always, he believed, done more than any other company in the kingdom to avert such awful calamities, and no expense had ever been spared for that purpose. The public might rest satisfied that the most thorough investi gation so far as the directors were concerned should take place. He trusted that even Mr. Himilton would feel for them, and on this occasion pass over any little differences there might be between them. In consequence of one of the scrutineers (Mr. Adams) not having agreed with Mr. Smith, the other scru tineer, to make a joint report on the result of the poll he (the chairman) had appointed Mr. Hannen, of the Common Law Bar, to act as his assessor on this occasion. Mr. ADAMS then stated to the assessor his objec tions to the proxies given in support of the motion proposed by the chairman, and Mr. SMITH also stated his objections to the proxies given in support of Mr. Hamilton's amendment. After a short c onversation, it was agreed to with draw the objections on both sides. The CHAIRMAN said that the board and officers of the company - were only desirous. that the charges which had been made should be fully and fairly in vestigated. The report of the scrutineers was then read, from which it appeared that there were 1,430 persons, holding £2,541,190 of stock and 33,800 votes in favour of the chairman's resolution. and the appoint ment of a committee of three large proprietors, It also appeared that there were in favour of Mr. Hamilton's amendment 1,030 persons present and by proxy holding £1,164,820 stock and 19,955 voters ; leaving a majority in favour of the chair man's motion of 400 persons, £1,376,370 stock, and 13,845 votes. The Chairman then declared the resolution car ried, and the committee of investigation appointed. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE. The total expenses of this company's railways, including rents, toll s , d u t y, &c., from January 1 to June 4, 1865, amo un t e d to £175,892, as against £169,294 for the correspondi ng period of 1864. The proportion of the South Junction receipts accruing to this company from January 1 to June 4 amounted to £15,552, as against £15,594 for the correspond ing period of 1864, and the expenses to £7,750, as against £6,998. Thy " flying column" to which we referred lea Monday, returned to the camp at Aldershot al Tuesday, not having made any movement from the original destination, Sandhurst. The next column will be despatched on the 22d inst., and will con sist of the 2d Dragoons (Scots Greys), the 21st Royal North British Fusiliers, the Ist Battalion 13th Light Infantry, the 92d Highlander; and the usual detachments of engineer and military trains and commissariat staff corps. The column will march to Sandhurst, remaining there till Saturday the 24th. It will move on that day to Bourlay Bottom, near Aldershot, halting there over Sunday, and proceeding on Monday to Woolmer Forest. It will remain there, weather permitting, till the last day of the month. The column will be under the command of Brigadier-General Adams, C. 8., com manding the 2d Infantry Brigade. Capt. Astley Key, C. 8., commanding her Ma jesty's ship Excellent, and Senior Naval Gunnery Officer, embarked yesterday morning on board the ironcased screw corvette Research, 4 guns, Capt. A. Wilmshurst, at Spithead. Immediately afterwards the vessel weighed her anchor and steamed out south ward of the Nab lightship for experimental practice with her 100-pounder smoothbore guns, to test the working of the carriages. The ship was under weigh about seven hours. The following is the result of the experiments :--The new Admiralty iron carriage, on Commander Scott's plan, made the first 10 rounds in 10 min. 50 sec., with a charge of 201 b.-F ; the second 10 rounds in 8 min. 10 sec., with a charge of 251 b.-D ; and 15 rounds in 11 min. 42 sec., with a charge of 251 b.-D. The wooden gun-carriage, on the improved pattern received from the arsenal at Woolwich, made the first 10 rounds in 8 min. 31 sec., with a charge of 201 b.-F ; the second 10 rounds in 9 min. 10 sec., with a charge of 251 b.-D ; and 15 rounds in 12 min. 57 sec., with a charge of 251 b.-D. Both carriages worked well, and much better than the old pattern carriage. The iron carriage was worked with 9 men as its crew, and the improved wooden carriage with 12 men, being 333- per cent. in favour of the iron carriage in this respect. As re gards the time, it will be found to be four seconds in favour of the wooden carriage in the total of 35 rounds fired, but there were accompanying favour able conditions which fully accounted for this. The Research will make her next trial in about a week's time. There was very little wind during the trials, and the water was found too smooth for a " roll." The Urgent screw troopship, Capt. S. H. Hen derson, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday morning from Leith, with a portion of the 74th Highlanders on board, comprising Major John Jago, Capt. and Brevet-Major J. S. Menzies ; Capts. A. Davies, R. C. Deane, and F. R. Thackeray ; Lieuts. P. M'Laren, J. F. Darville, T. Colville, and R. R R. Glasgow ; Ensigns C. M. M'Alpine and D. D. APL. M‘Leod ; Assist.-Surg. R. Burkith, and 175 men. The troops were disembarked at Portsmouth dockyard soon after the Urgent's arrival, and sent on by rail to Aldershot camp, via Farnborough. As soon as the disembarkation of the troops had been effected, the Urgent commenced coaling, being under orders to leave Portsmouth this afternoon for Gravesend, to receive on board there the remainder of the 71st Regiment, for conveyance to Leith. Instructions have been received at Chatham dock yard from the Admiralty, conveying the announce ment that their Lordships have decided on adopting one uniform height of port-sill in all vessels of war carrying guns above 95 cwt., and that the height has been fixed uniformly at 2ft. 2in. The same order also directs the height of the axis of guns of from 6 to 12 ton to be 3 min. 7 sec. above the deck when the gun is run out, and the axis of 6-ton guns, whe ther rifled or smoothbore, of 3 4.5 sec. when the gun is run out. The Plover, 5, 426 tons, 80-horse power, in the third division of the Chatham steam reserve, is or dered to be sold out of the service, together with the whole of her machinery and boilers, and the principal portion of her stores and gear. The Plover was recently paid off at Chatham after nearly four years' service, and having on survey been found de fective, the Admiralty have wisely decided on selling her out of the service instead of allowing her to lie rotting and encumbering the navigation in Chatham harbour. On Tuesday the Lizard, 3, on particular service, arrived in Great Yarmouth roads. On the same day the screw steam frigate Dauntless, 31, arrived and embarked the Coastguard of the district for their annual training. Both steamers left on Wednesday, the Dauntless for the north. Her Majesty's screw storeship Supply, Staff-Com. C. Bawden, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from the Mediterranean, with returned stores and a few invalids. She sailedfrom Malta on the Ist inst., and called in at Gibraltar on the 7th. On the 9th, with the Burling's Light bearing N.N.E., distant 12 miles, thebrigHarlequin, of the Clyde, was spoken, from Nicolaef bound to Oporto, 32 days out from Constantinople, the wind at the time being light from N.W.,, and weather fine. On the following day, in lat 41-23 N., long 9 28 W., she spoke her Majesty's screw storeship Dromedary, steaming to the S.S.W. On the 13th, in lat. 47 28 N., long. 6 44 W., exchanged numbers with the screw steam ship Demetrius, in tow of a steam-tug showing 3d pendant, No. 465, both being under fore and aft canvas and steering to the N.N.E., and requesting by signal to be reported at the first port made, the wind at the time was strong from E. by S. On the 14th in the Channel, Berry Head bearing N.N.W. 12 miles, at 6 45 p.m., she passed the ship Southern Cross, of London, running down Channel under studding sails, the wind being very light from S.S.E. The Supply experienced light winds from Gibraltar to Cape St. Vincent, thence to Cape Finisterre light N.W. breezes and calms. From Finisterre to Uskant 'resh winds from E. by N. to E.S.E., and up Channel Light easterly and S.S.E. winds. The few invalids :8) from the Mediterranean fleet by the Supply were transferred from her yesterday, after which she sailed from Spithead for Woolwich to land her cargo of returned obsolete stores, principally belonging to the War Department. The troops brought to England from India in the hired sailing transport Donald Mackay, the arrival of which at Spithead from Kurrachee was announced in The Sun of yesterday, were disembarked from the ship at an early hour yesterday morning, and sent to their several destinations, the invalided men to the Victoria Hospital at Netley, and the time-expired men to the depots of their respective regiments. At 10 a.m. the Donald Mackay was towed out of Ports- mouth harbour, and made sail for London when clear of the shoals, with a light breeze from S.S.W. The following appointMents were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Capt. Francis IL Shortt, to the Formidable, as additional for service in the Favourite ; Captain Elphinstone D'O. D' A. Alpin, to the Gladiator ; Commander Algernon G. Woot- ton to the Black Prince ; Lieut. George Blakeley, to the Wellesley, for service in the sailing reserve, vice Lake ; Lieut. Francis B. Renshaw, to the Cum- berland ; W. 11. Fetch, master, to command the Pigmy ; Cornelius Fox, master, to command the Hesper ; W. P. Braund, master, to the Wellesley ; Francis B. Henwood, master, to the Indus, for the Zealous ; the Rev. J. W. Clarke, D.D., chaplain, to the Arethusa ; F. A. Brice, surgeon, additional, to tha Terror, for Bermuda Hospital; F. L. W. Wright, assist.-surg., to the Liverpool ; and W. Silver, naval instructor, to the Arethusa. A NEW DESCRIPTION OF HoRsE-sHoE.--There is an invention under trial at Versailles tending to replace the iron shoes at present used for horses, by a composition which is almost equal to iron in durability, is 75 per cent. cheaper, and will never hurt the horseCe foot. GREAT NORTHERN. An adjourned special meeting of this company was held on Tuesday at the King's-cross station to consider certain bills now before Parliament ; Col. Packe, M.P., in the chair. • The CHAIRMAN said the first bill he had to submit was No. 3 on their list, to authorise the Great Northern Railway Company to construct certain short lines of railway at Newark, Spalding, Essen dine, and Barkstone. . The bill was approved. The next bill was No. 4, for the amalgamation of the Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax Junction Railway Company with the Great Northern Railway . 'Com pany. The bill was approved. On the motion of the Chairman, a bill was ap- proved for the amalgamation of the West Yorkshire Railway Company with the Great Northern Rail way Company. The two following bills were then agreed to : A bill for authorising the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company to make a railway from Worksop to Mansfield ; and a bill for making a railway from the Nottingham and Mansfield branch of the Midland. Railway to the Great North ern Railway. The special meeting was then adjourned to the 27th inst. An extraordinary general meeting of the company was held at noon to consider the propriety of raising further capital, authorised by five railway Acts passed in the Session of 1864. The CHAIRMAN explained that the money was required to enable them to complete certain works they had in hand. The directors proposed to create and issue ordinary stock of the Great Northern Company at par to the amount of £980,000, which would be paid up in five equal instalments—the first to be paid in July next, and the last in July, 1866. The holders of A and B stocks and of original stock would participate in the allotment, as would also the holders of ordinary shares in the Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax and the West Yorkshire Railway Com panies, under the terms of amalgamation with those companies. The issue of the new stock to the differ ent proprietors would be in the proportion of £1 for every £7 held in the ordinary stock and in the A and B stock of the company, the dividends would be de- ferred until July 1,1867, from which date they would accrue. Not less than £5 of the new stock would be allotted to any one. He concluded by moving a for mal resolution, authorising the creation and issue of the £980,000 ordinary stock payable in five instal ments. Col. DUNCOMBE, deputy-chairman, seconded the motion, which, after a few explanations, was adopted. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. SOUTH-EASTERN. RAILWAY I3ILLS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack ai the usual hour. UNION CHARGEABILITY BILL. Some petitions were presented in favour of this bill. EXHIBITION OF MINIATURES AT KENSINGTON MUSEUM Earl STANHOPE asked .a question of the Government relative to this subject. He said that the catalogues were charged at the exorbitant price of 55., and considered that it should be reduced to one-half. Earl GRANVILLE was understood to say that, under existing circumstances, it was impracticable to reduce the price of the catalogues, which were very expensive, and would entail a loss if any reduction were to take place. SLAVERY IN THE SPANISH COLONIES. Lord BROUGHAM complained of the delay that took place in the presentation to the house of the papers relat ing to the slave trade, and strongly denounced the conduct of the Spanish Government in continuing the abominable system of slavery. Earl GRANVILLE said that remonstrances had been made to the Spanish Government by her Majesty's Ministers. Lord BROUGHAM said he did not deny the statement of the noble lord, but despaired of any success until this country took more active measures. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time :—Baroness Windsor's Estate ; Tyne Improvement ; Crieff and Connie Railway; Aberdeenshire Roads; London, Chatham, and Dover, and London and South Western Railway Compa nies ; Sevenoaks, Maidstone, and Tunbridge Railway ; Midland Railway (New Lines, &c.); London and North Western Railway (Additional Powers, Wales); Lancashire Union Railways; Busby Railway; and Newcastle-upon- Tyne Improvement. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Edwards Disabilities Removal ; Lakes luagh and Derryclate, &c., Fisheries; West Sussex Junction Rail way ; Ripon - Local Board ; North British Railway (Lass wade, &c., Branches) ; Great Eastern Railway (Bishop Storford Railway) ; Okehampton Railway (No. 1) ; Metro politan District Railway ; North British Railway (Edin burgh station and Market). INFRACTION OF THE WORSHIP OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. The Marquis of WESTMEATH brought before the house the information promised in debate to the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of London on Friday, the 12th May, respecting infractions of the authorised worship of the Church of England, which were particularly mentioned as having taken place in St. Andrew's, Holborn, as well as other churches, and also the solemn oath alleged to have been taken by the Rev. J. Goring, of St. Paul's, Lorrimer square, and his curate, in a pastoral address issued by him, called " The Seal of Confession." The noble lord regretted that the subject had not fallen into abler hands than his, but at the same time he would state that he had paid much attention to this subject. It could not be denied that the cere monies of the Roman Catholic Church were making great inroads into the State Establishment, and he made that assertion on the testimony of several most respectable ministers of the Church of England. He referred in particular to Stoke Newington, where he had attended service at Stoke Newington, and found that the service and psalms were intoned, and the whole proceedings conducted in conformity with the ritual and ceremonies of the Church of Rome—indeed so completely that per sons might imagine themselves in a Roman Catholic place of worship. He referred to the. parties that prevailed in other metropolitan churches to show the growth and extent of Roman Catholic ceremonies amongst the Protestant clergy ; and he contended that it was evident some very vigorous measures must be adopted to arrest the progress of those practices which were gradu ally undermining the Protestant form of religious service in this country. He adverted next to the churches , specified in his motion, and said that the testimony, on which the imputed practices were alleged to exist could not I be impugned. (LEFT SPEAKING HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tars DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at half-past 12 o'clock. 'PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Mansfield and Worksop Road, Metropolitan Market, Mid land Great Western Railway of Ireland (No. 2), North of Enland. Union Railway, Ogmore Valley and Ely Valley Extension Railway Companies, Swansea and Aberystwith Junction Railway, Ventnoi Harbour. SOUTH KENSINGTON ROAD BILL, Mr. H. SEYMOUR moved that the South Kensington Road Bill be re-committed to the former committee, and that they do proceed therewith on Monday next. The object of the bill was to authorise the construction of a road from Sloane-street to South Kensington through Hans-place. A short discussion arose, during which Mr. SCOUR FIELD said the scheme was promoted by a company who had no claim to it. If such applications were allowed no man's house would be his castle whenever a company got up a little capital for the purpose of turning him out. The motion was ultimately witdrawn. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Col. WHITE a new writ was ordered to issue for the borough of Devonport, in the room of Sir A. Buller, who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. SALMON FISHERY ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. The subject of protection to salmon and salmon fisheries has for years occupied the attention of Parliament, but the discussions in the house have generally been dull and un interesting. The proceedings to-day were no exception to the rule. There were about 30 members present, and the endeavours of nearly all the members was to make the law more stringent against salmon poachers, and the different illegal modes in which the fish was captured. The various clauses of the bill were adopted with a few verbal amendments, and at four o'clock the sitting of the house was suspended. At six o'clock the house resumed, and Mr. DonsoN re ported progress in the Salmon Fishery Act committee. (LEFT SITTING.) LONDON GAZErTE—This Evening. A FOREIGN-OFFICE, JUNE 13.

ADMIRALTY. JUNE 13. Commander John BouKitiet Field has been this clay pro- thorpe, the town clerk, for his letter and kind sympathy." On the motion of Mr. Maynard, chairman of the City lands committee, a resolution was passed, with every mark of respect, directing the letter of Mrs. Cobden to be recorded on the journal of the court. Mr. J. RICIIARDSON, pursuant to notice, moved a resolution—" That the trade and commerce of this City having been greatly expanded, and its mer chants and traders largely benefited by the opera tion of free trade principles of legislation so power fully advocated by the late lamented Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P., this corporation desires to manifest its appreciation of his invaluable and dis interested services in the cause of unfettered com merce, by placing his bust in the council chamber of the Guildhall ; and that it be referred to the general purposes committee to take the necessary steps for carrying the same into effect, at a cost not exceeding £200." The motion, which was seconded by Mr. R. N. PHILIPPS, was opposed by Dr. SAUNDERS, On the ground that it did not become them as a corpora tion, nor was it expedient, to identify themselvar with political or party objects. He spoke at the same time in terms of unqualified commendation of the private character of Mr. Cobden. The motion also provoked some opposition from Mr. H. Loman Taylor, who argued that the Com mon Council having taken no steps to place the bust of the late Sir Robert Peel, who led the way in giving legislative effect to the principle of free trade, in their council chamber, it was not desirable to pay a compliment to the memory of Mr. Cobden. Eventually the resolution was adopted with only two dissentients. A report from the Bridge-house committee was brought up by their chairman, Mr. Deputy Hawtry, recommending that the carriage way on London bridge should be repaved, and the footway pavement " scabbled," at an estimated cost of £2,000. The report was confirmed, and referred back to the com mittee for execution. On the recommendation of the City lands com mittee, conveyances were sealed to the Metropolitan Board of Works of premises in New Bridge -street and Bristow-street, Blackfriars, for the respective sums of £10,566 and £862, under the powers and provisions of the Metropolitan Improvement Act, 1863. The court then adjourned. noted to the rank of Retired Captain, under Orders in Council of Ist August, 1860, and 9th July, 1864. JUNE 15. Sub-Lieutenant Charles James Kent to be Lieutenant.

" She and her family can well understand how their sorrow is shared by those who enjoyed his friendship or appreciated his public services, and in this their deepest affliction it is a great consolation to know that there are so many kind and generous hearts that are fellow-mourners with them.
