MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL !NTF,.LIGENrit, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market is active, owing to the nume rous bills that were kept in reserve during the past few days in expectation that the rate would have been lowered, and also to the preparations for meeting engagements due at the end of the week. The supply of capital on offer, however, has been large, and the quotations show no mate rial change, the best descriptions of paper being negotiable at 9 and 10 per cent. Tn the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last three days there has been very little business transacted, the present high rates of discount preventing all speculative transactions. In tea there was no change since the conclusion of the public sales. Only a moderate quantity of sugar has been offered for public competition, although prices have remained steady. For coffee there has been a fair enquiry, and superior qualities have fully maintained the late advance. Rice has been dull, while in tallow the dealings have been very re stricted, and prices generally are a shade lower. The Bank of England return for the past week is favourable, as will be seen from the following analysis : Active Circulation ....£24,823,990 Decrease 282,800 Bullion ... 15,042,399 Increase 199,279 Rest 3 , 533 , 274 Increase ... ... 29,113 Public Deposits ... 7,965,331 Increase •.. ••• ••• 676,987 Other Deposits ... 20,839,750 Decrease 331,607 Seven Day and Other Bills ... ... 559,318 Decrease 25,766 Goverdinent Securities ... 11,348,454 Increase 200,000 Other Securities 30,883,810 Decrease ... 825,352 Notes Unemployed ... ... 4,346,545 Increase 279,225 The return issued by the Bank of France exhibits an increase of £BBB,OOO in the bullion, £728,000 in the bills discounted, of £52,000 in the advances on stock, of £128,000 in the notes in circulation, of £1,510,000 in the Treasury accounts, and a decrease of £92,000 in the current accounts.

LAW INTELLIGENCE---This Day, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, Guildhall, before Lord Chief Justice Erie and a Special Jury.) SHAW V. THE LONDON AND ST. KATHERINE DOCK COMPANY. _ .• This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages by the death of his son, which it was alleged was caused by the negligence of the company's servants. The defendants pleaded not guilty. Mr. Warton appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. ICarslake, and Mr. Murphy for the company. The deceased was engaged in working with another man in assisting the hoisting of some woollen bales at warehouses in the vicinity of the railway station, of which the company were the lessees. One of the bales fell on the deceased, who died three days afterwards from the injuries which he sustained. There were three bales being hoisted, and it was alleged that the ropes were too short to be reeved, so as to pre - tent the accident. The plaint:ff brought his action in consequence of the loss of assistance he re ceived from the deceased, who allowed him a portion of his wages. For the defence it was contended that the company was not liable, inasmuch as the accident was caused by the negligence of the deceased, who omitted to reeve the ropes, although warned of the danger of not doing so. The jury found a verdict for the defendants. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE O'ROURKE. OTHERWISE FALCONER.

Patrick Heron, a boy about ten years of age, was charged before Mr. Alderman Finnis with embezzling 45., the pro perty of his employer. Hubert Blair, the prosecutor, said that ho was a pastry dealer, and kept a shop near London-bridge. He took the prisoner into his employment, ho having been previously in a charity school in the neighbourhood, and on the 17th of May last he gave him 4s. to purchase some cakes, but he did not return until yesterday, when he saw him going under the arch of London-bridge. He gave him in charge, and the prisoner did not deny that he had stolen the money. The policeman who had taken the prisoner into clistody said that he had made inquiries and found that he had been tanned out of one school three times for misconduct. The prisoner, who was almost in rags, said nothing in reply to the charge. The mother of the prisoner said she had married a second time, and supported herself by charing. She was quite unable to maintain the prisoner, and declined to receive him back. The prisoner was remanded for a week, in order that further inqlries might be made respecting him.

Mr. James Lewis, of Ely-place, prosecuted. The prosecutor said—About 10 weeks ago I had apart ments at No. 13, Bruton-street, and the prisoner was ono of the servants. About the 24th of this month I was re moving from Bruton-street, and in consequence of what I was informed I looked in my jewel-case and missed a quantity of property, including a locket containing the portrait of an adopted child ; and I also missed a silk dress, and other articles which had belonged to my deceased wife. Being told the prisoner was at No. 13, Bruton-street yesterday, I went there and saw the prisoner. asked her if she was not ashamed to look me in the face, after what she had done, and she said " No, I am not, you gave me the things." Evidence having been given at considerable length, Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner on her oNtn recog nisances, recommending her to place herself in the hands of a solicitor. MARKETS. --This Day.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' SCHOOLS.—The usual general half-yearly court of the governors of this institution, established for the purpose of boarding, clothing, and educating the destitute orphans of deceased, and the children of necessitous commercial travellers, was held at the London Tavern yesterday ; Mr. R. C. L. Bevan pre sided. Mr. London, the secretary, read the report, which stated that the progress of the school was most satisfac tory. On the present occasion twenty children would be elected, being the largest number ever elected on any oc casion since the institution was established, and an in crease by six on the number of the retiring scholars. This would cause increased demands upon the charity, and the directors trusted to receive additional support to meet the same. The annual examination, held on Saturday last, was very favourable. The usual number of boys had been sent to the Oxford middle-class examina tiens, and there was reason to think they had acquitted themselves in a manner to uphold the credit of the school. The total income for the last half-year had been £4,042. 9s. 4d., being an increase of £77105. 7d. on the correspond ing half-year of 1865.

The usual formal business having been transacted, and Mr. J. Walker, of the firm of J. and C. Boyd and Co., of Friday-street, City, having announced a donation from the firm of -100 guineas, the proceedings terminated with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. The election of 20 children, 12 boys and 8 girls, then took place Report of the Theatrical Licenses Committee, The Government Committee upon Theatrical Licenses and Regulations finished their labours yesterday by agreeing to a report which ought to please all but the most devoted protectionists. After hearing a vast amount of evidence, which was meant to prove that any attempt to weaken the foundations of the present theatrical monopoly must necessarily lead to a degradation of dramatic art, they wisely concluded tbat the wishes of the public were entitled to some little consideration, and hesitated to affirm that thirty millions of people ought to go without the right to be amused in any way they chose to select, in order to in crease the exceptional profits of a few theatrical landlords. The report which the committee have agreed upon, not without much discussion and many divisions, is an emphatic recommendation to Parliament to remove all existing restrictions on the performance of the drama. Even without legis lation this report will encourage, and to a certain extent legalise, all those evasions of the law by which the public, in their entertainments, are so largely benefited. It will recommend that no man who is anxious to present the drama to his patrons —an entertainment which, even in its lowest forms, has some intellectuality in its composition—shall be debarred from so doing, and yet have full liberty to supply more degrading forms of amusement. The Lord Chamberlain stated, in his evidence before the committee, that he felt quite able, with an increased staff, to deal with all theatres, institutions, concert halls, and music-halls. The report will recommend that he should still hold his authority as licenser of theatres and stage plays, but that any proprietor of a fit and proper building should have a right to de mand a dramatic license. In case of disputes on this point, the report will recommend an appeal being granted to the Home Secretary. The illegality of morning concerts will be removed, and theatres will be placed on the same footing as music-halls for wine and spirit licenses—that is, they will both have to apply to the licensing magistrates for their public house privileges. The publication of the report will check all those prosecutions of music-hall and con cert-hall proprietors for the illegal performance of " stage plays" which have insulted the public for several years, and will probably remove many scruples of the Lord Chamberlain as to his distribu tion of dramatic licenses. Merchant Seamen's Orphan Asylum. The pleasant little village of Snaresbrook was en fête yesterday afternoon, in consequence of the visit of the Prince and. Princess of Wales, on the occasion of laying the foundation stone of a new dining-hall at the above asylum. Occasion was also taken to hold the anniversary festival previous to the ceremony, the dejeuner taking place in a tent adjacent to the building. There were between 500 and 600 guests present, and the weather being extremely fine, all the approaches to the asylum were crowded with carriages filled with ladies in most elegant costumes. It was, in fact, one of the gayest and most fashionable gatherings which has taken place in the neighbourhood since the late Prince Consort visited the spot end laid the founda tion of the handsome building which has been erected, and which is a lasting memorial of the large bene volence of our great shipowners and merchants. Between 200 and 300 orphan children are comfort ably supported in this noble establishment, and at suitable ages sent out into the world under circum stances of very great advantage, considering their station in life. During the whole of the day some hundreds of people perambulated the establishment from top to bottom, and greatly admired the ex treme neatness and cleanliness of every department of the establishment, and all belonging to it, while the healthy appearance of the inmates, and th eir quiet and orderly derrteanour, bore ample testimony to the care, both moral and physical, which they received at the hands of those entrusted with the onerous task of management. The general proceeds of the festival exceeded £2,000, and it is gratifying to find that some of the outports are coming for ward and recognising the benefits conferred by the asylum by giving their cordial support. The ports of Whitby, Brixham, Aberdeen, Sunder land, and Dartmouth are particularly prominent in this respect. In consequence of his royal highness having first visited the Worcester merchant seamen's training school, off Erith the Royal party did not arrive all together, but shortly after 2 p.m. the Princess of Wales, who was attended by the Countess of Macclesfield and Lady Sunderland, drove up in a carriage, and was received, amidst the cheers of the spectators, by the lady visitors of the asylum, Mrs. 11. Green, Mrs. J. Gurney Fry, Mrs. T. F. Buxton, Mrs. Ximenses, and Mrs. Burners, and was by them conducted into a very pretty little extemporised boudoir to await the arrival of the Prince, her husband. His royal highness, who was attended by Gen. Knollys, Lord Harris, and the Hon. Col. Keppel, arrived about half-past 2 p.m., and was received by Lord A. Paget and the com mittee of management. His royal highness was cordially cheered on passing through the crowded thoroughfares leading up to the asylum gates. Both their royal highnesses looked in excellent health and spirits. The Prince having joined her royal highness the august party proceeded to the public reception room, where they both recorded their names as visiting the institution, after which they were con ducted to a spacious marquee, where an elegant de jeuner was served. In the absence of Lord Russell the chair was filled by Lord A. Paget; and after the toast of the Queen had been loyally responded to by the company, the noble chairman gave the health of the Prince and Princess of Wales and the rest of the royal family. The toast was received with perfect enthusiasm. The Prince of WALES, on rising to respond, was met with defeaning cheers. His royal highness said —My lords, ladies, and gentlemen, I am indeed deeply sensible of, and grateful for, the exceedingly kind manner in which our noble chairman has pro posed my health and that of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales ; and I am as deeply grateful to you for the excessively kind manner in which you have been pleased to receive the toast. Our presence here to-day affords us great satisfac tion, as we have come to assist in a work which to me is of particular interest, inasmuch as the first foundation stone of this asylum was laid by my lamented father in the year 1861 Under any circumstances it would be a pleasure and an opportunity of which I should feel proud to take part in such an occasion as the present. (Cheers.) We must all remember what an important part the mercantile marine of the United Kingdom play at this moment, and how important therefore that we should provide for the orphans of those brave men who are exposed to many dangers. (Prolonged cheers.) As you are well aware, a year after the foundation stone was laid—in the year 1862—this asylum was inhabited, and I believe I am correct in saying that its inmates number now over 180 boys and girls. This, I am sure, must be exceedingly gratifying to the friends of the institution. (Cheers.) I feel for my part very pleased on this occasion to lay the foundation stone of an additional wing to the building. I understand it was for the purpose of a dining hall, without which the original plan of the building would not be complete. (bear, hear.) Let me now thank you once more for the reception you have accorded to us. I am sure that nobody feels more pleasure than the Princess in being pre sent on this occasion, or takes more interest in the work we have undertaken to perform. (Loud cheers.) His Royal Highness subsequently proposed " The health of Lord A. Paget," who briefly acknowledged the toast. Their royal highnesses were then conducted through the building to the chapel, and thence to the tent, where the stone was laid of the new din ing-hall, with the usual ceremonies, the choir of the Forst school, under the direction of the Rev. H. J. Wardell, together with the children com posing the full choir. The band of the Royal Ar tillery accompanied some of the psalms, and played during the dejeuner. The 3d Essex Volunteer corps, numbering about 250 men, and a guard of honour composed of 100 men of the corps,were pre sent. Purses were laid on the stone after the cere mony, and a considerable amount raised ; and alto gether the proceedings passed off with very great eclat. Mr. Bright's Lambs, (From the Morning Herald.) To the complaint usually made regam l ing the inefficiency of the police—that when their a vviees are required they are never to be found— - may now be added another—that when present at what may fairly be considered breaches of the publi.' peace they decline to act in their repression. Since Mr. Bright's demand for the muster of a mob in Parliament-street, sufficiently numerous to obstruct the way, and sufficiently boisterous to frighten timid members and influence the action of the House of Commons, the vacant spice in front of Westminster Hall has been occupied on every occasion when a debate of importance connected with the passage of the Reform Bill was likely to arise by a crowd of disorderly and disreputable looking persons, whose conduct towards the political leaders whose opinions happen to be at variance with their own, has been most disgraceful, witahout causing any interference whatever in behalf of the outraged on the part of the police, who stand passive spectators of the riotous proceedings. We can well comprehend that Lord Elcho should be sur rounded and hustled in St. James's Park by the unwashed claimants for the franchise ; because it is probable that the guardians of public tranquillity were not, as is their wont, present where their duty should have brought them ; but we cannot under stand by whose orders a mob of insolents are permitted with impunity to pour fourth their disgusting Billingsgate and _ imperil the personal safety of such men as Sir John Pakington and Mr. Lowe, by frightening the horses they ride or drive with their ruffian hootings, under the very noses of officials, who are always but too ready to arrest a child selling matches to gain a livelihood, or to take into custody any half-drunken sot who might in his cups offer insult to the sacred blue. It is true that one of the mob of Tuesday night, named O'Connor, was brought before the magistrate at Westminster and fined, but he was made amenable to justice not because he had hooted and yelled at the members of the Conservative party as they came from the House—an amusement he might have indulged in as long as he pleased with impunity—but because, in reply to a request that he should leave the way unobstructed, he had punched the head of his captor while in the discharge of his duty. It is all very well to allow Mr. Gladstone's " lambs" to follow him through the street and cheer him with their melodious voices, or even to permit them to offer an ovation to the ladies of his family. Such silly dis plays of sympathy from his own " flesh and blood" may be as gratifying to him as they are harmless to the community; but it is quite a different matter when those entrusted with the pre servation of the peace tolerate the hostility of those same persons towards others until it culminates in the perpetration of acts of personal violence. Nor is this neglect of duty in the want of the protection which should be afforded to the Con- servative members of Parliament the only one which may be justly brought against Sir Richard Mayne. The misconduct of some of the members of the force under his command has been lately, on more than one occasion, atrocious, and although most strongly commented upon by the magistrates before whom the culprits were brought, and reported to his superiors by the superintendent, the offenders have been permitted still to con tinue in their employment to the manifest danger of society at large. On Wednesday Edwin Nesbitt, No. 341 S, was charged at 3farylebone office on a warrant with assaulting a person named Paine, of Chapel-street, Camden Town. The complainant had seen him strike, and almost choke, his son of en years old, who had been sent of an errand. On remonstrating against such unprovoked and cruel conduct he was himself instantly seized by the throat and nearly strangled. A neighbour named Lang, who interfered in his behalf, and who besought the policeman to spare him, as he was suffering under great affliction, having only just buried his wife, fared still worse ; he was knocked down, and pursued to his lodging, where, in a struggle to arrest him, both bis arms were broken. Meantime Paine, when released, ran to the police- station for protection, and during his absence Nes- bitt forced the door of his room, and smashed all his furniture to pieces. All those facts were clearly proved by respectable witnesses, who fully corrobo rated the statements of the complainant ; and an- other constable, who attempted to remove the ruffian from the spot, had his thumb smashed by a blow of his truncheon. About a fortnight before this same policeman had, at the same court, charged three young men with being drunk and assaulting him. He and a brother constable who gave evidence contradicted themselte.s in so marked a manner that Mr. Mansfield dismissed ;he prisoners, saying " that it was palpable to every one who heard the case that the prose- cutors were a pair of rascals." It was no wonder, then, on Nesbitt's appearance again before him in uniform that the worthy magistrate should express his astonishment that after his former denunciation of his conduct he should be still permitted to remain in the force, or that he should declare " that he considers Sir Richard Mayne and the other commissioners responsible for this piece of ruffianism." Mr. Lewis applied for a remand, in order that Nesbitt and his confederate might be charged with perjury committed on the last occasion alluded to. He said that he had been in communication with the commissioners on the subject, but that they regarded the affair as merely a quarrel between the parties, and ho produced a letter received from them, on reading which, Mr. Mansfield said—" I think it wrong when a magistrate expresses himself so strongly as I have done that the commissioners should treat, the matter so lightly, for it is upon the good conduct and discipline of the police that the public safety depends. I cannot understand why they have overlooked this case." A very well-me rited censure this on those who, admitting men into the force without sufficient vouchers for their good conduct, allow them to continue in it after'their un fitness for the position they fill has been discovered. Tolerating the presence of such fellows amongst a body of men upon whose good behaviour so much depends is criminal in the extreme in their chiefs, and may entail endless misery on innocent persons.

BERLIN, June 29. The Garde de Corps (Life Guards) yesterday defeated the 10th Austrian Army Corps under General von Gablenz, after an obstinate engage ment. The Austrians lost several thousand pri soners, some field pieces, and a large quantity of war material. Prince Frederick Charles, in junction with Ge neral Herrwarth Bitterfeld, captured Munchen griitz yesterday after a successful engagement with the Austrians, capturing 800 prisoners. The enemy retired to Fiirstenbriick with the loss of 2,000 men. The Prussian loss was much less. Yesterday the Prussian sth corps, under General Steinmetz, which on the 27th drove back the Austrian Ramming corps to Josephstadt, again compelled the enemy to retire after a severe con test. Numerous trophies were captured by the Prussians. REICHENBERG, June 29. The King of Prussia and Prince Charles are ex pected here to-morrow. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, June 29.

A congratulatory address to the King is in pre paration. IMPERIAL PARLIAIY[ENT HOUSE OF LORDS—Tins EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PUBLIC BUSINESS. Tho following bills were read a second timo : —Lang• harm Railway, Wycomb and North-Western and Charing cross Railway. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Kingsbridge and Dartmouth Roads, North British Rail way (St. Margaret's Diversion), North British, Leadburn, Linton, and Dolphintun Railway Companies, North British Railway (Stirling, &c., Branches), Longtoa, Adderly green, and Bucknall Railway, Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway, East Gloucestershire Railway, Shrews bury and North Wales Railway (Deviations, &c.), Stour bridge Railway, North British Railway (Coatbridge, &c., Branches), and Hemel Hempsted and London and North Western Railway. POSTPONEMENT OF PUBLIC BUSINESS. Earl RUSSELL said her Majesty had sent for Earl Derby to form a Ministry, and under the circumstances he had therefore to propose that the house should, as far as public business was concerned, adjourn until Thursday. Lord BROUGHAM said that the cause of the resigna tion of the Government was a matter in which the country were universally ignorant, and which they deeply re gretted. In both the ignorance and regret he fully shared; but he could not offer any opposition to the proposed ad journment, and therefore would second the motion of his hon. friend (Earl Russell). The motion was then agreed to. GAS LIGHT AND COKE COMPANY BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Earl NELSON moved, as an amendment, that it should be read a second time that day three months. The noble earl entered into details with a view of proving that great injury would be inflicted on the inhabitants in the neigh bourhood of Victoria Park if the works which would be established under the provisions of the bill were con structed. The LORD CHANCELLOR supported the amend ment, and suggested that it would be desirable if a com mittee of the house wa-o appointed to inquire fully into the subject. Lord RAVENSWORTH differed from the noble and learned lord, and felt bound to support the seoond reading of the bill. Lord CHELMSFORD supported the bill, and said there was no evidence to show that it would be injurious in any way. Lord TEYNHAM was in favour of the amendment. Earl CAITHNESS supported the bill, the effect of which he said would be to do away with three other gas works, which were admitted to be a great nuisance. Earl BEAUCHAMP opposed the bill. The Bishop of LONDON said that the population who were concerned in the injury that it was expected would be inflicted were of the very poorest class, and totally un able to oppose a wealthy company. It was therefore de sirable that their interests should be protected by Parlia ment. It had been said that the works would be 678 yards from any habitations, but having the misfortune to live in the neighbourhood of a gas manufactory, and he could speak from experience, that distance was not suf ficient to prevent a nuisance. He trusted, therefore, that the house, in the cause of humanity, would interfere to prevent the passing of the bill without the fullest conside ration it could possibly receive from Parliament. After a few observations by Lord OVERSTONE and the Marquis of TOWNSIIEND in favour of the amendment, Lord REDSDALE said that it was necessary that gas works should be constructed somewhere, and if opposition to every attempt to construct were sustained it would lead to serious inconvenience to the public generally. In the present instance he considered that the interests of the parties concerned were fully provided for, when the Cor poration of the City of London, the Metropolitan Board of Works, and the Hackney Board of Works were petitioners against the bill. (Laughter.) After a short discussion, the house adjourned for the second reading of the bill. Contents Non-contents ... Majority ... ... ... The bill was accordingly rejected.

(From the Times) About 20 of the principal supporters of Lo r d Derby assembled at his house in St. James's-square yesterday. Lord Derby addressed them at smile length, and announced that both at the suggestio n of her Majesty, and in compliance with his own view of the necessities of his position, he proposed to offer high office to several members of the Whi g party, and even to certain members of Lord Rus sell's Government. Ile should, therefore, have 'to ask from his own supporters a sacrifice of their just pretensions. In some cases it might be notes.. nary that they should altogether resign their claims to office ; in others they would have to accept offices of lower rank than those to which they might rea sonably have aspired. We are informed that the members present cheerfully assented to the terms thus proposed, inddeclaredtheir willingness to make, any sacrifices necessaryfortheformatio n of a strong. Administration. Lord Derby proceeded to wait on the Queen at Windsor. No appointments have Yet been made, nor is it expected that any will be mm e so long as there is any prospect of the accessions from the Whig party which Lord Derby intended to seek. We believe that hitherto Lord Derby's overtures have not been favourably responded to. (From the Morning Post.) Lord Derby is known to have declared that he would not again form an Administration unles►a he saw a fair chance of carrying on the Government of the country with it, and although it is natural that the rank and file of the Conservative party, after so long an exclusion from office, should be anxious to taste, were it for ever so short a time, the sweets of office, the obvious reasons against attempting to rule by the sole aid of the weaker party must have great weight in the decision as to the course to be pursued, while the respect due to the Sovereign would no doubt disincline so high-minded a statesman as Lord Derby, when entrusted with her commands, from forming a merely tentative Administration. In the face of the adverse majority, therefore, it is necessary to seek for assistance and support from beyond the proper limits of the Conservative party, if any permanence is to be hoped for by a new Government. The chiefs of the Adullamite sec tion were naturally applied to ; but it is understood that at present they decline formally to pledge themselves to support any purely Conservative Ministry, though they would probably give their aid to any one that should embrace an element com posed of the more moderate of the Liberal party. (From the Morning Advertiser) The anxiety of the public to know who are to constitute the new Cabinet is natural, and will soon be gratified. Lord Derby had yesterday a meeting with about forty of his principal friends relative to the formation of a new Cabinet. The meeting, we are told, lasted about an hour. Shortly after it was over Lord Derby proceeded to Windsor to have an interview with her Majesty. There is no doubt that the noble Earl has undertaken the task com mitted to him by the Queen, and the belief last night, in well-informed circles, was that he would be successful. (From as Morning Herald.) A meeting of two or three and twenty of the leading members of the Conservative party took place yesterday morning at the residence of the Earl of Derby. His lordship received from the noble men and gentlemen assembled the fullest assurances of support in his endeavour to form an Administra tion. Shortly after the meeting broke up Lord Derby left for Windsor, where her Majesty had graciously appointed an interview at 4 o'clock p.m. There is no doubt that a strong and efficient Ad ministration will be formed within a few days, but it would be obviously idle at the present hour to give currency to the various rumours that are afloat as to its personnel.

About 200 Irishmen, supposed by some to be Fenians, started from two of the drinking tents, armed with bludgeons, and began an iscr •d* m nmnate attack all who came in their way. The police, upon in as strong a body as could be got together, were dis turbance, but before they reached the sent to quell the course the peaceably inclined people who had been attacked took the law into their own hands, and had driven the rioters back to the tents. This had not been done without considerable injury being inflicted. About twenty were conveyed to the Newcastle of the Irishmen Infirmary, where surgical aid was afforded. The police took eighteen cus tody as bei ng ringleaders in men into the riot, and almost all these needed medical attendance. It seems ,probable that two of the men who we re conve y e d t o the infi rma ry will die from the injuries received. The townspeople praise the police for their prompt attendance, and the thomugh way in which they set about the capture of those who had been most concerned in the riot. DEATH OF SIR HENRY MUGGERIDGE. — The death is announced this morning of Sir Hew Mugge ridge, formerly an alderman of the City of London. H e carried on for some years an extensive business as a con tractor on St. Andrew's-bill, Blackfriars ; and in 182 was elected alderman of the ward of Castle-Baynard. In 1854 he was sheriff of London and Middlesex, and received the honour of knighthood after the visit of the Emperor and Empress of the French to London in 1855. When in the usual order of things it became his time to be Lord Mayor of the City, he was opposed, and was unsuccessful in pro secuting his claims, a circtunstance which induced him to resign his aldermanic gown. rhIEN! 190 100 100 1. 0 100 100 99i 9 74i 5 lOn 4
