MONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK, _ • _ There is an active demand for discount accom modation, owing to some heavy payments in con nection with the Australian trade. There is an abundance of capital, but the rates remain at 8} per cent. and upwards for the best paper, and with little prospect of a change for another week or two. The sum of £52,000 in sovereigns was taken to the Bank of England yesterday, and there was a withdrawal of £39,000. At the forthcoming half-yearly meeting of pro prietors of the Midland Banking Company, to be held at Wolverhampton, the directors recommend that a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per an num, free of income-tax, should be paid upon the capital stock of the company for the half-year. The Union Bank of Australia are inviting tenders for the balance of the Queensland Six per cent. loan, authorised in 1864. The debentures now offered amount to £446,350, and applications are to be lodged at the bank before two o'clock on the 27th inst., when they will be opened and the pur chasers declared, provided they are not under the fixed minimum, which will be then announced. The six per cent. interest accrues from the Ist inst. At the half-yearly general meeting to-day of the shareholders of the London and Westminster Bank a dividend was declared at the rate of six per cent. Per annum, and by way of further dividend out of the profits a bonus of 11 per cent. on the paid-up capital. Two o'CLocK.

Almost every department of the Stock Exchange exhibits an improvement, although the amount of business has not been extensive. Consols are now higher, at 84 88 for money, and at 884 for the account. There is a large exchange of invest ments of Foreign Securities, and the home Funds consequently indicate buoyancy. The New Threes, Reduced Annuities, and Exchequer Bills are attract ing increased attention. Nearly all the chief speculative stocks show an improvement.

This was a suit by tho husband, James Lewes Jones, for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, Frederick Nixon, and the defendants pleaded denial, cruelty, and desertion on the part of the husband. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Dr. Spinks appeared for the petitioner ; Mr. Kenealy and .A.lr. Armstrong for the re spondent ; and Mr. Cooper for the co-respondent. From the opening statement of counsel it appeared that the petitioner originally lived at a village called Beath, in Wales, where her mother kept a public-house. Here they became acquainted, and after having been absent for some time in Australia the petitioner married the respondent in July, 1883. She expressed a desire to have a public house, and accordingly they took a public-house. Pre vious to the marriage the respondent contracted habits of intemperance, which caused great un happiness to the husband. The September after the marriage she returned to Beath, her husband remaining at Birmingham, and went to live at the house of the co r:_‘simnd,..Lt, a gentleman near that village, ostensibly to act as his hotisekeeper. She was still living at his house and in a state of adultery. Several witnesses were called to support the petitioner's case, and to disprove the pleas of the defendants. The jury returned a verdict for the petitioner. COURT OP BANKRUPTCY. IN RE FILLELL -A ➢SODEL BANKRUPTCY. This bankrupt was described as a waster mariner, of Lower Thames-street, and to-day was appointed for the first meeting. The bankrupt has only one debt, and that is £2O, due to a marine company. He was adjudicated a bankrupt, while in prison, by the registrar, who asked his release from custody. This is the smallest bankruptcy case that has been known since the passing of the act in 1861, and certainly discloses a most extraordinary system under which a creditor may be upset when his debtor has been arrested even for a sum so insignificant as £2O. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day. The Ilan by the Sea. The last new venture of the spirited partners, Messrs. Spiers and Pond, is the opening of " The Hall by the Sea," at Margate, and had they been the possessors of the marvellous wand of Prospero they could not have performed a greater change than they have effected in one short month at this very favourite summer resort of the Londoners. In little more than eight and twenty days the dingy unused building, originally intended for a railway station, and in close proximity to that now in use by the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, has undergone a metamorphosis, which will surprise and delight every visitor. The spirit of desolation has been set to the right about ; the genii of pleasure and enjoyment has taken possession of the place, and certainly a more beautiful amusement hall it has never been our good fortune to visit. The exterior of the hall is of itself an attraction, with its cool and refre:3li ing fountain and parterre of blooming flowers, but the interior is a perfect temple of enchantment. The walls are covered with fluted white drapery, exqui sitely ornamented with white lace over a pink bor dering. Along either side of the hall are numerous arched panels, every alternate one of which is filled with a great mirror, while the other has a marble like medallion of some ono of the great composers. Between stand statues most tastefully chosen, and banks of moss and flowers fill up the bottoms of the panels. The orchestra stands at the lower end of the large hall, and immediately behind it is a supper room, decorated in the same manner as the hall. The roof is painted a delicate blue, picked out with gold stars. The whole effect is singularly chase and beautiful. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CONVICTION OF A GENTLEMAN ON A CHARGE OF-DRUNK ENNESS. —The Hon. Charles Southwell, of No. 17, Thorn ton-street, Kensington, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk, and furiously riding a horse in Rotten-row, Hyde-park, to the common danger of the public. Robert Plant, 214 A (one of the mounted police), said— Yesterday about half-past 12 I was on duty in Rotten-row and saw the defendant come galloping down the Row to wards Apsley-gate. I called to him to stop, but he paid no attention and went galloping on, at the same time urging his horse to go faster, and I had to gallop after him to stop him. I then told him that if he repeated his conduct proceedings would be taken against him. The defendant walked his horse a short distance and then galloped by me again, and then walked his horse back and met me. I then went up to the defendant, being accompanied by another constable, and told him that I should take him into custody for furious riding and endangering the lives of the passengers. The defendant said he would not go, and on my taking hold of his horse's bridle ho made his horse rear up so as nearly t 3 unhorse me, and then rode off. As soon as I recovered myself a little Ive went after the defendant, and had to go more than a mile along the Kensington-road before we could overtake him, and we then took him into custody. Mr. Knox—l see the defendant is charged with being drunk. Was that the caso ? The Defendant—l do not think I was going very fast. Constable—You were going as fast as you could. Edward Bird, 552 A—l was on duty in Hyde Park yes terday at a different part of the Row, and seeing the de fendant going at a furious rate I cautioned him, but he took no notice. On telling him that we should take him into custody he nearly unhorsed 214 A, and thou made off. We went after him, and took him into custody. The defendant was drunk. A very important matter at the present season of The defendant made no answer to the charge. the year is ventilation, and how the cool atmosphere was obtained on Saturday last on the occasion of the inaugural concert was the wonder of every visitor present. To effect all this in a building for such a length of tine` looked upon as useless is a perfect marvel, but Messrs. Spiers and Pond, pre vious to commencing operations, secured the ser vices of a number of talented gentlemen, to each of whom a carte blanche was given, the only direction being that they were to do their best. The design and execution of internal construction and decora tions of the hall were confided to Mr. Hurwitz, of Southampton-street, Strand, the statuary medal lions were supplied from the celebrated atelier of Brucciani, of Great Russell-street, and the thousands of artificial flowers were perfumed by Mr. Rimmel, and wonderfully well has each performed his task. The direction of music has been entrusted to M. Jullien, and the general management of the whole has been confided to Mr. Hingstone, one of the most successful and experienced public caterers in Eng land. The inaugural concert on Saturday was a success, the extent of which may be imagined when we mention that, althongh the charge of admission to the stalls was five shillings, offers of double that sum for the privilege of being present had to be refused, as every seat was occupied immediately after the opening of the doors. The artistes were Mdme. Parepa, Miss Rose Hersee, Miss K. Ryan, Miss K. Gordon, Mdlle. Lebhart, Mr. George Perrin, Mr. Weiss, and Mr. Farquharson, each o whom elicited unbounded applause by their respec tive performances. That the speculation will turn out an extraordinary success seems certain, and the residents of Margate cannot be too grateful to Messrs. Spiers and Pond for the splendid place of entertainment they have created. Mr. Knox—You have been guilty of a very scrious of fence for riding in the way it has been proved you did. You might have caused some terrible accident. Such con duct must be put a stop to. lam sorry to see a person of your position charged with drunkenness ; but I must do my duty. You were guilty of more than furious riding ; you nearly unhorsed one :of [the constables, and I shall fine you £5 for resisting the police in the execution of their duty, and 40s. for the furious riding. The fine was at once paid. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 18, 1866, ~,. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

The hon. member has just visited his constituents, and the South Myton Reform Association unanimously resolved that, having heard the statements of their esteemed and long-tried representative, they thought he was still worthy of the continued con fidence and support of the Liberal party in the borough. An amendment declaring Mr. Clay'svoto upon Sir Rainald Knightley's motion to be inopportune was not put.

The ea s new ew n d proprietors l W re e a s d t y on r 'esa"p Music h e ß f a r l u l' i t M o e f s s t h r s e . great improvements they have effected in this popula r ar of e ‘ a the fact, because both gentlemen entered on their place of amusement. It is a very gratifying task to recor d dif ficult undertaking at a time when energy and s pi r it s waßolland, were most required. All objectionable matters have been removed, and in their stead new and bette r have been made; the company, both voc a l and instrumental, has been reorganied ; th e a tt en d an t s arrangements have been well and sensibly instructed, the creature com forts supplied aro now of the best possibl e d escr ipti on, an d the whole of the arrangements a r e carr i e d ou t un d er t h e personal superintendence of the proprietors. When so great a desire to cater for the comfort of the public is exemplified, it is, as we Save already said, a pleasing duty to note the satisfactory manner in which such exertions are appreciated. The vocalists comprise amongst them Miss Harriet Coveney, lliiss Tremaine, Miss Brougham, Miss Ellen Reid, Miss Villiers, Mr. Arthur Lloyd, Mr. H. Macarthy, and Mr. George Hodson ; whilst there are also the clever gymnasts Moratorio and Le Brong, a very clever one-legged Pierrot, a petite Taglioni, and a splendid orchestra unequalled in any theatre in London, excepting of course the two Italian opera houses. The great feature of the evening's entertainment at the present time is the performance of Locke's magnificent music to Mac beth, under the direction of Mr. P. Corrie, and a more satis factory performance cannot be imagined. It is something beyond anything hitherto attempted at this place of enter tainment, and the care with which it is executed both by vo calists and i nstrumentalists is deserving of the highestpraise. The different choruses are given with the greatest steadiness and precision ; whilst the solos are all admirably sung. We would, however, in the kindest spirit, recommend Miss Tremaine to adhere strictly to the score of Locke, and to dispense with the ill-placed cadence in the last bar of her solo ; it spoils the whole of her performance, which other wise would be of the highest excellence. The manner in which the splendid overture to " Oberon" was rendered by the band is another matter calling forth high praise, because it is a great step in the right direction ; and we trust the time may arrive when the taste of the frequenters of Weston's will be so advanced that they may become attentive listeners and great appreciators of the works of Beethoven, Mozart, and the other classic masters. The comic element is in very strong force; Mr. George Hodson elicits the greatest merriment by his performance ; and this, also, is a matter of congratulation, because it is entirely devoid of vulgarity. Mr. Arthur Lloyd also must be com plimented ; but here our praise must stop, be cause, clever in some things as Mr. Harry Macarthy is, wo cannot countenance such bad taste (to use a very mild term) as he exhibited, on the evening of our visit, is addressing the audience because some one choose to take exception to his banjo solo ! C omic singers are petted and pampered a great deal now-a -days, but they must be told they will not be allowed to address coarse' and vulgar observations from the stage with impunity, because every person cannot ap preciate their self - supposed ability. There aro a great variety of attractions we should have felt pleased to hare brought under the attention of our readers, but we must defer them to another opportunity, and bring our present notice to a close by wishing Messrs, S weasey and Holland every success in their endeavours to amuse and elevate the taste of the musical public. - - Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

But here, nearly three times the number perish, and give no sign.

THAMES. FALSELY IMPRISONED. Thomas Moss, a cabman, about 40 years, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk and with wilful damage. It appeared that the prisoner was lying on the pavement near a box and blacking belonging to ono of the shoe black boys. Some of the brigade boys commenced pelting him, and he took up a box and threw it with its contents into the road. The box was broken and the blacking wasted. The matter was reported to Mr. Chas. Hawkins, Inspector of the East London Shoe Black Society, who gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. Paget was of opinion the prisoner had been impro perlylocked up all night, and that he ought not to have been detained. The inspector ought to have ascertained the pri soner's address and summoned him. The prisoner was not committing any offence, of which the police could take cognisance, and was pelted with a variety of things by the shoe black boys, and in a moment of irritation at such treatment, threw one of the boxes into the road. The con duct of the inspector of the East London Shoeblack So ciety was most improper. Inspector Dandy, who was said to have taken the charge at the Leman-street station house, was an old and experienced officer, and had always done his duty in a veryadmirable manner. He would assume that Mr. Drndy had don , , his duty properly, and had been misled. He should like to see Inspector Dendy in the course of the clay, and directed that he should be sent for. He discharged the prisoner. MARKETS.---This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to-day the arrivals of wheat from Essex and Kent were very moderate, but in fair condition. For both red and white parcels the trade was decidedly quiet at prices about equal to Monday. There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on offer. The transactions in all qualities were to a very moderate ex tent. In prices, however, no quotable change took place. In floating cargoes of grain sales progressed slowly at drooping prices. Barley—the show of which was moderate—was in slug gish request at the late decline in the quotations. Malt was in slow request at Monday's currency. The supply of oats on sale was large. The trade was dull at a decline of Gd to is per qr. Beans and peas were very dull on easier terms. Flour moved off slowly at barely late rates. SIIIP AIIRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

ELECTION IN TELLIGENCE. CAMBuItE. The re-election of Lord Royston, Comptroller of her Majesty's Household, as member for Cambridge shire, took place yesterday morning at the County Courts at Chesterton. The proceedings com menced at 10 o'clock, but as it. was known there would be no opposition the attendance was com paratively meagre, the Crown Court being but tolerably filled so far as numbers went. The High Sheriff, the Hon Octavius Duncombe, presided. After the usual formalities Mr. St. Quintin (Hatley Park) proposed Viscount Royston ; Mr. Cropley (Ely) seconded the nomination. There being no other candidate proposed the High Sheriff declared Viscount Royston duly elected amid the cheers of his supporters, EAST SUFFOLK.

Sherwood Forest, yesterday, presented an animated ap pearance, the occasion being the Nottingham Summer Races, which were celebrated with more than usual success. The weather was highly advantageous, and instead of a broiling atmosphere there was a light pleasant breeze, which had the effect of bringing together r very large at tendance—perhaps larger than ever was known on any previous anniversary. Professional racing men mustered in strong force, and the townspeople as well as the resi dents of the neighbourhood evinced the interest they take in the races :by attending in largo numbers. The fields were not large, but generally well contested.

Half way down the straight very little alteration had taken place ; Eudsleigh still led, attended by Nightwatch, Moulsey, and Brother to Guerilla; Bradamante and Nukuheva being last. In this order they passed the stand, there being no perceptible alteration until the entrance to the Mansfield-road turn was reached, where Nukuheva improved her position, and took second place.

LEGITIMACY DECLARATION, &c., BILL. Mr. T. CHAMBERS said in consequence of the late session, and the vigorous opposition which it was likely to sustain, he wished to withdraw this bill. He accordingly moved that the orderfor the second reading be discharged, and intimated that he would reintroduce the measuro at an early period next sassion. After some observations from Mr. E. CRAUFORD, tho motion was withdrawn. ELECTIVE FRANCHISE BILL. On the order of the day for the adjourned debate on the amendment of the second reading of this bill, Mr. J. CLAY expressed his unwillingness to continue the discussfon on this bill, which he was afraid he could not carry to a successful end. The measure had one serious dis advantage, namely, its novelty, and he was sure the right hon. gentleman, the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, who moved its rejection neither comprehended its principle, nor had mastered its details. As he had no opportunity of replying to the arguments adduced against the bill on that occasion, he would now make a few observations. The right hon. gentleman had objected to the bill that the stan dard of examination was too high. In answer to that he could only say that the subject was simple, and that seve ral members had thought the test too simple. The ex amination would only last half an hour, and would take lie Place in the town in which the candidate resided. The expenses to the person who did not the a shilling, while all that would be required from . sarninatzon candidates who did succeed in passing the was the maxi was 2s. 6d.

In addition to that, ho was of opinion that a more difficult test should be introduced than that contained in the present bill. Re moved that the order for the adjourned debate be withdrawn. Mr. GLADSTONE thought the hos. member had exer cised a wise discretion in not proceeding to a division on this bill, which would only create a bitterness of feeling. The bill was then withdrawn.

He moved that they go into committee upon this day three months. - Mr. DUTTON seconded the amendment. Mr. G. DENMAN said the object of_ the bill waft not as the mover of the amendment seemed to think, to assimi late the law of England to that of Ireland. Mr. BERESFORD HOPE objected to the bill on ac count of the position iu which it would place the sheriff who appointed the returning officer. Mr. WALPOLE adverted to the injury done both to candidates and constituencies by a double return as a rea son why there should be an amendment of the law. Ho apprehended the principles they had to go upon was that there was no law to deprive any person of the right of vol.. ing. In the case of the returning officer he was not wholly disfranchised, and it was for the general convenience that he should not exercise hisright of votingunlessthere vms au equal number of votes for both candidates. Individually, therefore, he (Mr. Walpole) was in favour of the proposal of the hon. member for Honiton (Mr. Goldsmid). Mr. BRETT opposed the bill. His idea was that it put the returning officer in the most agreeable position of all, because it gave him the absolute opporturdty of serviug his party. (Hear, hear) Mr. DENT alluded to the inconvenience caused by a double return. The house then divided on the motion to go into corn. mittee : For the motion 122 For the amendment Majority --55 The house then went into committee, Mr. Dodson in the chair. Sir. ROUNDELL PALMER explained that he and many on that side of the house had supported the motion for going into committee on this bill, because they thought the manifest differenoe of the law in the three kingdoms ought not to be continued. They thought it desirable., however, that in no case was it desirable to give the casting vote to a non-elector. If the committee concurred in that view, the objection as to Scotland was done away with. Clause 1 was agreed to. On clause 2, Mr. KNATCBULL-HUGESSEN moved that the re turning officer on all occasions should be a duly qualified elector. Some further discussion having ensued, Sir G. GREY said he had voted for the second reading with a desire to assimilate the law of the three king doms, but the debate which had taken place showed that there were a variety of considerations to be taken into ac count. In these cfrcumstances he thought the best course was to refer the bill to a select committee. Mr. E. CRAUFURD moved that they report progress, which was afireed to, and the house resumed. COMPULSORY CHURCH RATES ABOLITION BILL. Mr. GLADS TONE, in moving the second readin of this bill, stated that in consequence of the late period of g the ses sion and the understanding that it would not be opposed by the Government, he did not intend to press the bill beyond a second reading this session. In consequence of this proposal being somewhat novel, some arrangement of details might be necessary, but the length of time that would elapse before the measure was considered in com mittee would allow a sufficient opportunity for their set tlement. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Government would not oppose tho second reading, b ut he reserved his right to oppose the bill even as regarded its principle. Sir G. GREY said, the understanding was that the Go-. vernment would offer no opposition to the principle of the bill. Mr. NEWDEGATE considered the principle of the bill most vicious, and expressed a preference for the bill of the member for Bury St. Edmund's. Mr. NEATE moved, as an amendment to the motion of Kr. Gladstone, that no scheme for the total, or partial, or absolute, or qualified abolition of church rates will be satis factory to this house which does not contain sonie legal and certain provision for supplying any deficiency which may ensue from such sch eme , i n th e f un d s app l ica bl e t o the maintenance of the fabri c o f th e Ch urc h . Colonel BARTELLOT seconded the amendmen, and said that the bill of the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Glad stone) unsettled everything and satisfied nobody. It Was not a compromise, but quite the reverse ; it was unfair to the Church and unfair to the majority of churchmen who chose to raise a rate for the repair of the fabric. The bill did not at all come up to what was expected, and therefore he most strenuously objected to its further progress. Mr. B. HOPE opposed the bill, which was not the mea sure which he had undertaken to agree to, for it did not contain the provisions for retaining church rate; but its sole object was for the obolition of compulsory levying of the rates. Sir R. PALMER said he acceded to the bill, because ho considered it combined the principle of abolition with that of a retention of the means of providing for the mainte nance of the fabric of the church. He thought the mea sure an adequate substitute for the existing state of thing; which was not to be justified. Mr. HUBBARD was addressing the house at a quarter to six, when the debate was st o pp e d i n accordance with the standing order of the house. ROCHDALE VICARAGE BILL.

Yesterday morning Mr. Bedford held an inquiry. in St. Ann's Vestry-room, Dean-street, Soho, rela tive to the death of 'William Mold, who committed suicide after having attempted the life of a young woman with whom he had. cohabited. Mrs. Elizabeth Handley Mold said—l live at 26, King-street. The deceased was my husband, who was 51 years of age, and a public-house broker. He had several times threatened to destroy himself, and generally kept poison by him. He sometimes threatened to do so owing to pecuniary pressures. He has been in a lunatic asylum. I have been married to him three years, and previous to that time he had twice attempted suicide. On Thurs day last he said he should not live throughout the day. I said, "I don't believe you, for you have said it so often." He replied, " You will find it out." After tea he laid down, and a young woman being in the room he attempted to poison her. She screamed out. I rushed into the room and saw my husband lying on the bed. The young woman was also on the bed, both being dressed. All my husband could say was " Water ! water !" I gave him some, which he drank, and he never spoke afterwards. Mr. John Hursley, of 66, Wardour-street, said —I am a surgeon. I was called to deceased about eight o'clock on Thursday evening. I found him lying partially on a bed and a box, with his legs drawn up. He was quite unconscious and collapsed. On the box there were about six drachms of fluid, and a bottle containing but a very small quantity of cyanide of potassium. I dashed water upon him, and endeavoured to administer antidotes, but he rapidly sank and died. The cause of death was cyanide of potassium. Hannah Howden, a single woman, residing in the same house as deceased, gave the following evi dence :—On Thursday last, about twelve o'clock, Mr. Mold came home and entered the room where I was at work, adjoining the one where Mrs. Mold was. He said, " You need not finish that work, as it will not be needed, for neither you nor I will live sinviywyanfwas beyond the day." I said, " Don't talk in thatway , !

I knew nothing more till he was dead. I believe he died across my knees. Mrs. Mold was recalled, and the following ques tions put to her : thought The Coroner —Is it true that the last witness had a child by your husband? Witness—Yes, sir ; but that was before I was married to him. The child is nearly five years old. She has twice lived with him for a short time. The Coroner—And she resided in your house ? Witness—Only occasionally for a short time. The following verdict was returned :—" That the deceased died from the effects of cyanide of potas sium taken by himself while in a state of insanity." The verdict was so recorded. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. —This Day. LONDON, July 18.—Wind this day at noon—North- Easterly ; moderate breeze and fine weather, but rather cloudy.
