BIONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The inquiry for discount accommodation is not Very active, and although the commercial require ments are rather limited, the trade of the country is nevertheless regarded as exceptionally healthy. The rates of the brokers in the open market continue as previously, viz., 8 and 81 per cent. for the best de scription of short-dated paper. There was a withdrawal of gold ou Saturday from the Bank amounting to £291,000, namely, £ 3 5,000 in bars for the Continent, 256,000 son reigns for Brazil. 32,000 sovereigns were received from E gypt. Mr. Cannan, tho official liquidator of the Agra and Masterman's Bank, has issued a form of appli cation for creditors, requiring certificates of in debtedness, and also instructions for the necessary proceedings in the matter. The reports from the various manufacturing dis tricts for the past week represent that business generally has continued dull. Cloths and yarns at Alancheiter, however, have been at enhanced prices, but buyers have operated to a very limited extent. In the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Hud dersfield, there has been very little animation, although a snore cheerful tone has prevailed. At Leicester and Nottingham a seasonable demand has been experienced for hosiery and lace goods, while continued dullness has prevailed in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver - hampton.

The Stock Exchange Markets' were very buoyant at the opening, and a general rise in prices occurred. This upward movement was caused through the favourable intelligence concerning the war, and the acquiescence of Prussia and Italy to the proposed armistice. Later, however, sales were effected, and quotations fractionally receded, although they are Still higher than on Saturday. Consols are 87i for transfer, and at 88 for the account.

A young Englishwoman, condemned to three months' imprisonment, had been recently carried to the cholera ward of that establishment. Her reincarceration in prison might prove fatal, and the attention of her Majesty having been drawn to the case, she promised to intercede with the Emperor for the MILIgiOII of her runiehment." TEE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1866. MARKETS.—This Day. MARK-LANE. The country markets held on Saturday were much less active for wheat, and prices declined to the extent of Is. to 2s. per quarter. For all descriptions of spring corn the demand ruled inactive, at barely rate rates. In flour a very moderate business was transacted, on rather easier terms. On the Continent the wheat trade is quieter, at drooping prices. For spring corn the demand rules inactive, at hardly late quotations. At New York the trade for wheat and flour is far from active. Small supplies of English grain, &c., were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad consisted of 24,245 qrs. of wheat, 9,075 barley, 12 malt, 46,292 oats, 2,415 ryo, 6,731 peas, 5,914 linseed, 12,757 rapeseed, 17,370 maize, 395 sacks of seeds ; 258 sacks and 15 barrels of flour. A very moderate business was transacted in all descrip tions of seed. As compared with Monday last no material changes took place in prices. There was a fair demand for cakes at last week's cur rency. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrival of home grown wheat was very moderate, but the condition of the produce was good. The trade for all descriptions was in a most inactive state, millers showing no disposition to make purchases either in red or white qualities. In prices a further decline took place, and the quotations are now 4s per quarter beneath the late highest point. The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat. The demand for all qualities was very inactive, and a further decline of is to 2s per quarter took place in prices. Floating cargoes of grain are dull, and lower in value. Spring corn ruled inactive, at barely late rates. The supply of English barley on sale was small, of flour moderate. The barley trade was dull, at barely rate rates. Malt was in slow request, at late currencies. With oats the market was moderately supplied. The demand for all qualities ruled heavy, at drooping prices.

There was al;a:ge supply of foreign stock on offer here to-day. The beasts from France came to hand in excel lent condition. Those from Tanning, however, were very middling. Sales were rather difficult at full prices. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were on the increase, but their general quality was only middling. The receipts from Ireland and Scot land wele trifling. Good and prime moved off steadily at full quotations. Otherwise, the trade was very inactive, at barely late rates. The best Scots and crosses realised 5s 8d to 5s 10d, in some instances, Gs per 81bs. The Lin colnshire season has now fairly commenced. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 800 Scots, short-horns and crosses ; from Lin colnshire and other parts of England, 1,200 various breeds ; from Scotland, 35 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 50 oxen, &c. The show of English sheep was only moderate—of foreign extensive. Good and prime Downs and half breds were in steady request at full prices. Inferior sheep were a slow inquiry at late rates. The general top figure was 6s; but, in some instances, 6s:4d per 81bs was obtained for prime Downs. There was a good demand for lambs at full prices—viz., from 6s 8d to 8s per 81bs. The supply was rather limited. Calves met a dull inquiry on former terms, from 4s 4d to 5s 6d per Blbs. The number was rather extensive. The pork trade was in a sluggish state at about last week's currency. _ _ Per 81b to sink the offal. ad 8 d Crse. & inf. beasts... 3 10 4 4 Second quality do ..4 6 5 0 Prime large oxen ..5 4 5 6 Prime Scots, &c.... 5 8 5 10 Crse. and inf. sheep. 3 8 4 2 Second quality do ..4 4 5 0 d s d Pme ors-wool sheep 5 2 5 S Prime S'thdown d 0.5 0 6 0 Large coarse calves. 4 4 5 2 Prime small do 5 4 5 6 Large hogs 4 0 4 6 Small porkers 4 8 5 0 Lamb.... 68 8d to 8s 4d.

THE MANCHESTER MARKET. The Goodwood Stakes is the only future event which appears to attract any speculation, and for that event The Special has a host of friends at half a point over his quoted price. A commission is evidently in the market to back Black Prince, 100 to 8 being freely taken. La Fortune continues firm at about the same odds.

The Duke of Beaufort's appointment as Master of the Horse has given the greatest satisfaction, and it was generally supposed that the superior qualifications of the Earl of Coventry for the Mastership of the Buckhounds would not be overlooked ; no little surprise, therefore, has been caused by the selection of Lord Colville for the post.

The Marquis of Hastings's horses were struck out of the Nottingham handicaps immediately after his lordship saw the weights. No little sensation was created at Newmarket this week by the making of an after-dinner match for ten thousand pounds a side, five thousand forfeit—a younger son's fortune —between the highest priced yearling of the Middle Park sale one of the Stockwell's recently purchased in the Hooton lot, to run as two year olds. But still greater sur prise was expressed when it became known that one of the contracting parties to the engagement was merely an "act ing manager," whose assumption of so gigantic a responsi bility in the absence of, and without consulting, his noble employer, has afforded ample scope for serious comment amongst the higher circles of the Turf. We have since heard that the match has been altered to £l,OOO a side, 500 forfeit.—Sporting Gazette. WRIGH2'SITELEGRAMS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

THE ROAD MIIRDER.—The action for damages brought by Mr. and Mrs. Kent against the Edinburgh Daily Review has been withdrawn, the proprietors of the news paper having consented to pay the sum of £350 in name of damages, in addition to the publication of a retraction and apology. The article containing the remarks complained of was published on the 27th of July, 1865, and contained statements regarding Mrs. Kent's position in life before her marriage, and her treatment of Constance Kent, and also made reflections on Mr. Kent's proceedings during the in vestigations preceding the confession and trial of his daughter. The action was set down for trial before a jury at Edinburgh on the 22d of May, but when the court met that day the trial was postponed, pending negotiations for a settlement. The Daily Review of Friday contains the fol lowing statement :—" In consequence of this article an action was raised in the Court of Session in Scotland by Mr. and Mrs. Kent against the proprietors of the Daily Review for libel, which led the proprietors of the Review to institute minute inquiries into the truth of the statements contained in that article The result of these inquiries was to show that these statements were not true, and that the conductors of the Daily Review had been misled by false information. Defences were immediately lodged to the summons, in which the statements were retracted and a full apology made to Mr. and Mrs. gent; and tho pro prietors of the Review now take the opportnnity of gi ving the same publicity to the apology as was given to the article in question, and at the same time express their re gret that much pain must have been caused to Mr. and Mrs. Kent by the publication of these statements."

The depositions of tho wit nesses who found the body of the child, and of the paronts, and medical gentlemen were read over and signed, the facts spoken to being precisely those already reported in The Sun. Tho prisoner said he d id not deny anything. that he had confessed to Chief-constable Elliott, and he was committed to take his trial at the Durham Assizes upon a charge of wilful murder.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Bejora Mr. Justice Smitb and a Common Jury.) PIIRSELL V. ALDEN. This was an action of detenu,• in which the plaintiff sought to recover the value of certain property which the defendant, who pleaded not guilty, detained. Mr. Saltis was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Beasley for the defendant. The case for the plaintiff was that he had formerly been a confectioner in &gent-street, but retired from that busi ness, and a pier -glass, dining-table, and other articles of fur niture, were removed to the house of defendant's husband, who had a sale room in the City-road, and had been on intimate terms with the plaintiff. It was arranged that for such of the articles ae Mr. Alden sold he was to receive a commission. Mr. Alden diet, and the articles in qnestion were taken to the Dover public-house, Hurston, which was kept by the defendant. The defendant was examined, and said that her husband stated in her presence that ha paid the plaintiff £5 for it, and that although the latter 'valued it at £2O, when offered for sale the highest bidding for it was £2 10s. She had not seen the money paid, and it appeared that her husband kept hie accounts in so singular a manner as to throw no light on the transaction. The plaintiff abandoned his claim for any other pro perty but the glass, and the jury found a verdict for him of £lO. CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. OLD COURT. Tho sittings of the Central Criminal Court wore resumed to-day. The calendar presents a marked and most favourable contrast to that of last session. At the present session there are only 70 prisoners for trial, 58 males and 12 females ; and there is only ono charge of wilful murder, that of a woman named Margaret Baker, who is charged with the murder of her illegitimate child, and which will, in all probability, result in a conviction for concealment of birth only. There is, besides, the case of Patrick Rem ington, for killing his son-in-law in Rosemary-lane, who will be indicted, probably, for minder, but who, by the coroner's jury, is only charged with the lesser offence of man slaughter. In addition to these cases the only serious ones are the charge against a young woman named Margaret Murphy, of having thrown a quantity of vitriol on a man who had seduced and grossly ill-used her ; and a charge against a married woman named Jane Cushion of having at tempted to murder hor husband, having in the first instance tied him down in the bed, while asleep, to prevent him from making any resistance. There is also a very curious case of a young woman named Longman, who is charged with attempting to murder her another; and it appears that the diabolical act was committed under the extraordinary delusion that her mother was a great enemy to her, and had endeavoured to injure her in a variety of ways, and that she was, therefore, justified in endeavouring to destroy her for her own protection. The prisoner ap pears to be perfectly sane and sensible upon every other subject; but it seems that she still entertains the extra ordinary delusion above mentioned, and nothing that can be said to her appears to have any effect in satisfying her of the utter groundlessness of the feeling that she enter tains. Under these circumstances the prisoner will probably be acquitted on the ground of insanity, and she will then be detained in custody until her delusion has passed away, and no apprehension entertained that she will repeat the act. The Recorder having charged the grand jury, the trial of prisoners shortly afterwards-commenced. CAPTURE OF AN OLD COINER. Benjamin Morlock and Bridget Mortlock were indicted for having in their possession a large quantity of material for the making counterfeit coin, and a great quantity of the manufactured article. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoners resided at No. 3, Queen-street, Queen's-road, Camberwell, and the police receiving information the prisoners were manufac turers. of counterfeit coin, matters were arranged to effect their capture. The doors of the house were strongly barred, but when the police eventually gained an entrance, they found the prisoners had escaped. On the premises were found a number of plaister of Paris moulds, ladles, pewter, electrotyping chemicals, and base coin in various stages of manufacture. The prisoners were afterwards captured, but the male prisoner said the female was his wife, and that she had acted entirely in the matter under his direction. It was also proved that the woman had been known as Mrs. Illallock for the last five years. The jury acquitted the woman, but found the male pri soner Guilty. Brennan, the officer attached to the Mint, said the pri soner was a most notorious coiner, and had been so for years. Many attempts had been made to effect his cap ture, but up to the present time he had managed to escape. The prisoner was what might be called a wholesale dealer in base coin, and had carried on the business for a long time. His arrangements for the purpose were very complete, and his mode of operation was very suc cessful, because he always took precautions to ascertain whether he was watched or not before he entered his residence. The Recorder told the prisoner he doubtless bad been the cause of misery to many persons, and therefore he should sentence him to five years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BURGLARY. —John Henderson, alias Yates, and Robert Wilson, alias Cormack, were charged before Mr. Knox with feloniously breaking and entering the premises of Mr. Edward James Smith, dentist, of 15, Groat Castle street, Regent- s t reet, and stealing five gold plates and 37 ounces of gold, value of £54. silver, platina, and other property, of the The prosecutor said—Last Friday night, about half-past eleven o'clock, I went to bed, leaving the workroom quite safe. On coming down the next morning about half-past nine I was informed by my apprentice that he had found the workroom window open. I found the place in con fusion, and missed a large quantity of property of different kinds, of the value of about £6O. The whole of the articles produced by the police belong to me. After some further evidence, Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners. THAMES. SEVERE PUNISHMENT FOR A KICK.—CAUTION.—AIfred Woolfe, a tall young man with his right arm in a string, was brought before Mr. Paget with being drunk, dis orderly, making a disturbance at the house of Mrs. Cal man, No. 61, White Horse-street, Stepney. The prisoner's mother formerly lived with him, and in consequence of his bad conduct she left him and hired an apartment in the house of Mrs. Calman, who was parti cularly requested to deny that the prisoner's mother was there when her son called. He did visit the house several times and demanded some property of trifling value. He wa to n s there on house onSat he ard made ay a night, and on being refused admis siongreat disturbance and threat ened to rip up Mrs. Calman with a knife. He forced his way into the house and did considerable damage. Ho threatened his mother, and was removed by police-con stable Payne, 404 S. The prisoner attempted to kick the policeman on the lower part of his person, and would have succeeded if he had not stooped and retreated. He caught the blow on the thigh just above the knee. The prisoner said ho had fallen from the mast-bead of a ship and injured his arm. He could not have hurt the policeman because he wore carpet slippers. Mr. Paget did not care about that. He was of opinion that the interference of the police constable was quite jus tifiable, and he should in this case adhere to a rule he had laid down, to punish with as much severity as the law al lowed him, or to commit for trial, any person kicking a police-constable. Ho sentenced the prisoner to be impri soned for two months and kept to bard labour. WHO'S TOUR DOCTOR ?-3 10RIS.ON'S PILLS A CURIOUS SCIENTIFIC FACT.—Had the people in Paris been able to hear Queen Victoria deliver her speech upon the opening of Parliament they could not have received it as soon as they did by telegraph. Sound moves at the velocity of three hundred and thirty-threo yards a second, consequently it would have taken twenty one minutes to go from London to Paris—in other words, if the Queen bad said "My Lords," at London at two o'clock, at two hours and twenty-one minutes the acute eared Parisians would have heard these two words.

MINISTERIAL STATEMENT. The Earl of DERBY said he rose again to address the house as First Minister of the Crown, and he could assure their lordships that he did so without any feeling of exul tation. He had not sought the distinction which her Majesty had conferred on him. He was aware of the difficulties of his situation, the obstacles, almost insuperable obstacles, he would have to encounter. The acceptance of office would entail on him a loss of ease, and perhaps of health, but under the circumstances he felt bound not to shrink from undertaking office. He would have been content to have continued in the position ho had hold for years as the head of a great political party, sufficiently powerful to give as sistance or to check a Liberal Ministry. He referred to the opinion of Lord Palmerston as to the intro duction of a wide measure of Reform in a new Parliament. No doubt Earl Russell was deceived by the majority of the Ministry in the house, for he did not reflect how much of that majority was owing to the personal character of Lord Palmerston. He considered that much of the op position the Reform Bill had received was owing to the temper displayed by some of its prominent supporters, and to the disinclination of the House of Com mons to accept a fragment of that description. When her Majesty returned from Scotland, and in the most gracious terms requested him to accept-office he then summoned the principal of his friends and told them of his desire to form a ministry on a Conservative but enlarged basis as regarded not principles, but parties. He denied that there was any identity between a coalition Ministry, and a Ministry established on an enlarged basis. He first applied to the late Secretary for Foreign Affairs (Lord Clarendon), who did not consider that he could con sistently accept office under a Conservative Government with consistency to his party obligations. He declined, but in terms of such friendship and kindness as he should never forget. He applied next to the Marquis of Lansdowne, whose sudden death they so deeply deplored. His noble friend said that he would prefer not ac cepting office, as he thought he would be able to render his (Lord Derby's) Government service out of office ; but he consented to take time to consider his decision, and he never saw him afterwards. Thenoble earl then referred, in humourous terms, to the difficulties which a Prime Minister had to encounter in the formation of a Ministry. He then alluded to the foreign policy, and said there were two courses to be pursued in regard to foreign affairs—the first being their prede cessor's mode on which they acted in respect to the policy of foreign countries, and in the next, the means they were ready to adopt in the event of any interference with their own policy. He considered that, from the geographical position of this country, the policy in regard to foreign affairs was that of non-intervention. The noble earl then adverted in detail to the late war in America and the loyalty displayed by the Canadians, and then turned to domestic policy. Ho said ho felt bound not to pledge himself in any way to the great question of Parliamentary Reform, and he born in mind the statement of his noble predecessor in office, that no minister should bring in a measure of Reform 'unless he had just ground for believing that he would be able to carry it through Parliament.

F INCHLEY-RO AD ESTATE BILL. HEATH. BUILDING ON HAMPSTEAD Mr. GOLDNEY moved the second readi:ig of this bill, the object of which was to enable Sir Thos. Malpn Wilson to grant building leases on a certain portion of his pro perty, which he was now prevented from doing. Mr. H. LEWIS moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. He said the father of Sir T. M. Wilson, the present owner, devised the estates to his son, and it appeared to be his intention to preserve Hamp stead-heath for the purposes of healthful recreation, as, in the drawing out of the will of the late Sir Thomas Wilson, he, it was fair to be supposed, had most fully con sidered the whole matter, as he had made no less than nine codicils, the Bth and 9th of which specially and jealously guarded Hampstead heath, because it was clearly laid down that building leases on that-part of his property should not be granted. It was idle to say that Hampstead-heath was not valuable for build ing purposes ; that was admitted, but it had always been so, because it is most desirable as a very healthy and beautiful spot. Sir T. M. Wilson was now seeking to do that which, by the will of his father, he was prohibited from doing. Various attempts had been made under one name or another to get a bill thr cing c t i Parliament, but all had most signally Chief Justice Tenter en had expressed a h to v. opinion against any such power as that now . r d ' g 1 y against given.

The heath was as dear to London as Hyde-park itself ; it was one of the lungs of London, and, in his opinion, the most bene ficial one of all. Let Sir M. Wilson come forward with a fair offer and make himoll a public benefactor. That he refused to do, and he could not but look upon the bill as an attempt to steal a march on the House of Commonv. He hoped the house would throw out the bill. (Hear.) Mr. ADAIR suggested that the bill should be referred to a commtttee up stairs. ft was most unfair to oppose a private bill on a second reading. Mr. T. CHAMBERS said the- hon. member who had just sat down said that it was most unfair to oppose the second reading of a private bill, but that it ought to be met in committee.
