'QNEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The money market presents a less active appear- B an ee than i t has for several days past. At the an k of En g l an d the inquiry is large, owing to e number o f d i scount and banking institutions W hich have lately failed, and the national establish ment h aving, therefore, an extra amount of business negotiate. The rates out of doors remain at and 9 per sent. for the best short dated paper. The sum of £138,000 in gold was received at the sink of En g l and yesterday, including 28,000 sove reigns from Turkey.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1866. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. TIM ROUGHS IN TILE PARKS.-Arthur Brown, a rough looking fellow, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Charles Legg, Hyde-park constable No. 13. Legg said—About five this morning I saw the prisoner and some others struggling with and striking another park constable. I wont to assist the constable, when one of the prisoner's companions struck me and ran away. I went a short distance after him, but finding I could not catch him I returned to assist the constable, and as soon as I stepped up the prisoner gave me a violent blow on the side of the head with his fist. James Willis, Hyde-park constable, said—About five this morning I saw four men lying on the grass asleep. I wont up and awoke them, having orders to do so. They became very abusive, and tried to throw me down and to strike me, but I prevented them, and on the last witness coming up to assist me the prisoner struck him. The prisoner, who described himself as a labourer, living in Burn-street, Lisson-grove, said -I never struck the con st..ble. We were foing away when the constable called us lazy, and asking what he meant, a struggle took place. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Have you any witnesses to call ? The prisoner—No. Mr. Tyrwhitt—lt appears to me that the park-keepers were perfectly right in what they were doing, and I think it my duty to state that the parks are beginning to become a perfect nuisance during some parts of the 24 hours. It is intolerable that places intended for the health and re creation of the public should be infested by a pack of roughs and blackguards, and I wonder the thing is per mitted. It would not be suffered in any other capital of Europe. Why are the police not called on to assist, as in other places ? The prisoner will have to pay a fine of 40s. or 11 days. COWARDLY ASSAULT.-Arthur bolt, described as a foot man, was charged with violently assaulting. Elizabeth Clarke, the complainant, who gave her evi dence seated, in consequence of feeling faint, said that on Saturday night last she was outside of the Green Man in the Euston-road with a friend, with whom the prisoner the previous night had had some words. Thinking he was going to renew them she begged him not to do so, when ho said he would serve her the same as he had done her friend, struck her in the face, blacking her eye. She went and leant against some railings, and the prisoner came up and knocked her down. Evidence in corroboration having been given, The prisoner said the complainant first struck him, bu this was denied. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner's conduct in knocking down a woman was very cowardly, and ho would commit him for six weeks with hard labour. • THAMES. JITVENILE:CRIME.—James Wells, a well-dressed boy, aged 10 years, the son of respectable parents, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing a gold watch value 10 guineas, the property of Catherine Welland, a widow of No. 42, Kirby-street, Poplar. The parents of the prisoner were living in the same house as the prosecuttix, and the boy obtained access to her room and stole the watch. He was quite ignorant of its real value, for he offered it for sale to one person for ss. and to another for ls. Gd. A boy named George Gather cole saw the prisoner with the watch, and he said ho wanted ls. 6d. for it. The watch was shown to Gather. cole's father, a labourer, to whom it was offered for sale, and ho retained possession of it. It was produced and identified. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner until Thursday. SINGULAR ROBBERY ON BOARD-SHIP.— ThOMAS Freeman, aged 12, was brought before Mr. Paget, for the second time, charged with stealing a money-box from the ship Lascelles. On Sunday evening, between the hours of 6 and 7 o'clock, prisoner and two other boys came on board the ship Lascelles, in the West India Dock, and asked an old seaman named Linnoy, the ship-keeper, permission to go over tho vessel. The lads appeared so respectable and well-behaved that the required permission was given, and the boys went over the decks, the fozecastle, and into the cabin, where they remained for some time. Soon after leaving the ship-keeper missed a money-box, painted blue, on which were painted the words, " Merchant Seamen's Orphan Asylum." The box was safe at 6 o'clock in the evening. The prisoner and another boy were leaving the dock at the principal gateway when an intelligent constable, named Thomas Cook, observed that Freeman had something concealed under his coat. Cook asked him what he had there. To which the prisoner re plied nothing, Cook said: "Yes, there is something there," and took the money-box from him. Tho box had been tampered with, and an attempt made to extract the money from it, which failed. Cook asked the prisoner where he obtained the box, to which he replied that he picked it up in a retiring place. Mr. Paget would not allow the box to be opened until the captain or chief matewas present, and gave permission for that to be done. - lie remanded the prisoner, and Mr. Thomas Abernethy, the chief mate of the Lase()lles, now a ttended, and having consented to the opening of the box, and no key being forthcoming, ho was provided with a knife. With the assistance of Mr. Livingstone, the chief usher, the box was forced open and the money taken out. There was a silver sixpence and nine pennyworth of half pence in the box, which the magistrate said could be passed over to the Merchant Seamen's Orphan Asylum. That society would no doubt provide a new box for the ship. The mother and friends of the boy asked the magistrate to deal leniently with him, and said ho had not been con victed of any crime. Mr. Paget said he would decide the case on Thursday, and remanded the prisoner again. MARKETS.---This Day. HAY.

The following proclamation has been issued by General Manteuffel : " Gottorp, June 7. " Inhabitants of the Duchy of Schleswig,— "Since my assumption of office here I have always acted towards you with frankness. Never have I had any reason to repent of that course, and I now address myself to you again with the same frank ness. The rights of sovereignty which his Majesty my King and master has over the Duchy of Holstein have been endangered by proceedings with which you are all acquainted. The most sacred interests of your country are placed in jeopardy, for never has the Estates of either of the Duchies been called together except in view of an assembly of the gene ral representation of an undivided Schleswig-Hol stein. lam charged by his Majesty the King with the protection of those menaced rights, and for that reason I ha e to-day ordered the entry of troops into Holstein, as I have announced to the Imperial Governor of the Duchy of Holstein that this military measure has only a purely defensive character. " Inhabitants of the Duchy of Schleswig,---I have learnt to know and to esteem the spirit of order and legality with which you are animated, and I now give you a proof of this esteem. At this moment Schleswig is being almost denuded of troops. You will prove that the attitude which you have hitherto maintained has not been induced by fear, but by the loyalty of your character. But you, too, in your turn have learnt to know me, and you know that I am faithfully and heartily devoted to the interests of this country. You will with confidence accept my word.

The Emperor has addressed the following auto graph letter to Prince Colloredo Mansfeld, Presi dent of the Commission for the Control of the Public Debt : " Dear Prince—l see with satisfaction from the report of the 11th ult., laid before me by the Com mission for the Control of the Public Debt in 1865, that the Commission has zealously and conscien tiously fulfilled the duties with which it was charged by the decree of October 27, and that it has occupied itself in superintending and carefully examining all the branches of the administration of the debt. " It is with no less satisfaction that I perceive from the_ statements of the Commission that the entire service of the debt proceeds with perfect re gularity and order in all respects, and hat the finance administration has punctually observed all the legal obligations, and has properly met all engagements encontracted with the creditors of the State. " The Commission has believed it its duty to de part from the attributes legally assigned to it, in order to enter into political considerations of a gene ral nature, and into a discussion upon the character of the measures taken by my Finance Minister in virtue of my patent of Sept. 20, 1865, and sanc tioned by the laws of Nov. 23, 1865, and April 24 and May 5, 1866. Ido not wish to to misconstrue the patriotic intention which in this has cer tainly guided the members of the Commission. I have solemnly recognised the rights of the people to take part in a decisive manner, through their legs, Irepresentatives, in the laws to be passed and the administration of the finances. The rea lisation of this principle is an object I pursue seriously and continually, and nothing can afford greater satisfaction to my mind than when the sen timent of unity and patriotic co-operation —a sen timent so powerfully felt by all the peoples of my empire at a time when we are threatened by the danger of war--which constitutes the strength of Austria and procures us respect ; when this senti ment, I repeat, shall be able also to exercise a deter mining influence in home affairs, and be consecrated and confirmed by a powerful and constitutional organisation. (Si g ned) " FRANCIS JO SEPH . " SchonbrunH,June 6, 1866." Overend, Gurney, and Co. A numerously attended meeting of the share holders of the above company was heldin the London Tavern yesterday. The 'meeting was convened by the directors, but it was suggested on their part that some shareholder should take the chair: A share r holder proposed Mr. Kingscote, but an amendment to the effect that Mr. H. E. Gurney should take the chair was carried. The CHAIRMAN expressed his sorrow at meeting the shareholders under such lamentable circum stances, and referred to the state of the affairs of the late company at the time they were turned over to the present one. nose affairs were subjected to a close examination. It was not easy to arrive at a very approximate idea of such a large business, but the opinion entertained regarding the assets had been lamentably frustrated. It would be in the recollec tion of those present that when the new company was formed the minimum rate of discount of the Bank of England was only 3 per cent., and there was no reason to apprehend that loss which had re sulted from the very increased rates. With reference to the amount paid for the goodwill, there was no doubt the firm had embarked in transactions out of their ordinary business, which had subsequently re sulted in heavy loss. The sum of £500,000 was rather under than over two and a half years' average of the regular profits. As to the subsequent ma nagement, be believed the directors had endeavoured to carry out the views expressed in the prospectus and to transact a first-class business only ; but they undertook a burden much heavier than they ex pected, and which had been rendered heavier by events which ensued. That miscalculation of forces had led unquestionably to the collapse of the com pany, and to that widespread loss which he confessed it was misery for him to refer to. On the day of suspension an attempt was made to obtain assistance, but that attempt had been unsuccessful, and it was found necessary to file an application in the Court of Chancery for the winding up of affairs. In answer to a question, The CHAIRMAN said the names of the partners of the old firm were Samuel Gurney, llenry Edwatd Gurney (of Nuffield), David Ward Chapman (of 65, Lombard-street), Robert Birbeck (of Gatton), B. Gurney, John Henry Gurney, Francis Hay Gurney, Henry Birbeck (of Stoke), and William Birbeck (of Thorpe). The new directors were Messrs. Barclay Gibb, Gordon, and Rennie. In answer to further questions, The CHAIRMAN said the late firm sustained losses in consequence of making advances not in the course of regular discount business. The suspension of the present company had been brought about by the belief of the directors that the company was strong enough to give the old firm time to liquidate the "lock-up" which they had become involved in owing to transacting improper business. (Cheers.) Mr. HA ES said the mode in which the directors took over the old business was highly discreditable to them. (Hear, hear.) A SHAREHOLDER asked whether the directors looked carefully at the assets and the guarantee. He wanted to know the nature of the guarantee. Mr. JONES, solicitor to the company, said it was a joint and several bond or guarantee, binding every shilling of the joint and private assets of the old firm to the fulfilment of the liability of the new company. Mr. RENNIE was sorry he had to come forward in vindication of the steps taken at the time the old firm was taken over. He remarked that a state ment of its affairs was made out by Mr. J. H. Gurney and Mr. Birbeck, who took the manage ment. At that time there was a lock up of millions, against which there were special securities held to the amount of about a million and a quarter. This left £1,400,000, for which the partners gave a joint and several bond that it should be paid up, capital and interest, within three years and a half. Besides these there were about five millions of bills to be taken over. It was a matter of serious con sideration whether they should call in an accountant to examine these bills, but at that time publicity would have been considered destruction. As showing the opinion entertained of the business by the old partners, he remarked that they wished the amount of the goodwill to be given in shares, but they only received £2,600 in shares, and the remainder in cash. At the present moment they held £2,200 worth of shares, one of them being besides a very large depositor. (Ap plause.) The business done during the nine months showed a profit at the rate of £240,000 a year. In answer to a Shareholder, Mr. JONES said th© guarantee given by the old partners was perfectly good to the very last shil ling. Every shilling of their assets had been realised from their private estates, and had been carried to the credit of the company. (Hear, hear.) It was ultimately agreed, on the motion of Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE, that the company should be voluntarily wound up with Messrs. Turquand and Harding as liquidators. Mr. TURQUAND, one of the official liquidators, stated that the amount of cash in the hands of the the liabilities h a d b een reduced Bank of England at the credit of the company was £208,243 14s. 3d. Since the 10th of M a y —th e d a t e paid £4,600,375 . He thought same time to st a t e t h at there had bi o t f y r t ib h gil e hl st s u ra s ut p: t n oh s ffe i o a n n — d been bills returned amounting to £846,993 19s. 7d. ; but he had gone over the list of these bills, and he believed a very considerable portion of them would be paid within a reasonable time. There would be some loss from them, but a large number of them would be these bills would not have for Manyf etllof weeks. The amount of position of commercial ff airs duringpaid back in thebutf u p l liabilities to be run off between the pre sen t ti me a n d a come al . s the end of August was £8,353,904 leaving, after the end of August, £1,343,592 16s. They believed that one million and a quarter would be produced under the guarantee of the old partners. (Hear.) Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE moved that the com pany could not, by reason of its liabilities, continue business, and that it was advisable to wind up the same voluntarily, and that Messrs. William Tur quand and Robert Harding be appointed liquida tors. He proposed this resolution, he said, in order to relieve the estate of the expensive assistance of the Court of Chancery. (Cheers.) After a lengthened discussion :the motion was carried almost unanimously, only one hand being held up in opposition to it. The meeting shortly afterwards broke up.

This day will be consigned to the grave the mortal remains of the late Mr. Thomas De La Rue, Knight of the Legion of Honour, who died at his residence, 84, Westbourne-terrace, on the 7th inst., in his 74th year. Mr. Thomas De La Rue is well known as the founder of the house which bears his name, and from which he retired about eight years ago, after a long career of unceasing activity. It may be truly said that no man has done more to promote the arts connected with his pursuits than the subject of this notice, who had a remarkable faculty of rendering discoveries in science available for the purposes of manufacture. lie began his career as a printer, and subsequently he made use of his special knowledge of printing in his improvements in the manufacture of playing cards. About 40 years ago he published the New Testament printed in gold (now a very scarce work), and on the occasion of her Majesty's coronation, June 28, 1888, The Sun newspaper was, at his suggestion and with his aid, on the occasion printed in gold. Among the various patents he took out for a variety of processes may be cited, as an example of the philosophical bent of his mind, the fixing of the irridescent colours of thin film. Until he brought under notice the valuable proper- ties of glycerine, now so extensively used in medi cine and the arts, it remained a neglected and waste product. Mr. Thos. De La Rue was deputy chairman and joint reporter of class xvii. in the Exhibition of 1851, and it is understood that the report on the Exhibition of that class is mainly from his pen. In the Universal Exhibition of Paris, in 1855, he was also a juror, and in addition to the grand gold medal of honour he received the distinc tion of Knight of the Legion of Honour. He was well known as a collector of articles of vertu, and the possessor of some of the most rare specimens of Wedgwood ware, and it appears that he was one of the first who stimulated the collection of this beauti- ful but long neglected ware by his early apprecia tion of its intrinsic and artistic merits. THE ABYSSINIAN CAPTIVES.—Dr. and Mrs. Beke aro now in London, and Consul Cameron, the Rev. Mr Stern, and the other captives may be expected to arrive in England before long. Her Majesty's ship Victoria, it is stated, has been ordered to return to Massowah for them by the 10th inst., and convey them thence to Aden. Should they reach the coast at Sawakin, the Victoria is to proceed to that port, and bring them direct to Suez.

The passport system has again bean introduced along the Swiss frontier. Signor Raeli, the reporter of the Committee upon the Bill, stated that the number of mendicant monks was 30,000. The proposal of Signor D'Onde Reggio was subsequently rejected. THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT. FLORENCE, June 12. In yesterday evening's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the Minister of War brought forward a bill calling out for military service the class of 1846. The Keeper of the Seals, replying to Signor d'Ondes Reggio, who proposed to increase the pen sions of the monks of the suppressed convents, said that the bill for the suppression of religious bodies had not a financial but a moral object, and that the sale of the convent property was not sufficient for the maintenance of public worship and the payment of the pensions.

GASLIGHT AND COKE COMPANIES BILL. Mr. ADAIR moved the further, amendment of the re port on this bill. - Mr. TITE strenuously objected to the bill. It sought to erect a series of immense gas works in the neighbour.. hood of Victoria-park, and for that reason he would not be a party to giving the powers asked by the bill. He pointed cut a site which might be most advantageously occupied by the company, but they refused to entertain the proposal, and they proposed to erect works in close proximity to Victoria-park, which had recently cost the house £75,000. The Board of Works had spent £25,000 in making approaches thereto, and the expense of the park, which was now about to become permanent, was £6,000 per annum; all this was to go for nothing, because the gas company had made up their minds to erect the works on a site which would inconvenience and discomfort thousands of the poorer cl asses. H e moved that the report be f ur th e r considered that day three months. Lord J. MANNERS second an ed -w th r e ke neigh bourhood o f T rafalgar-square a gmansoci be w emitted from a ll vegetation in St. aminentdnithenennt; livve_ irre pressible outcry would arise in If it was proposed t o erec t g the works, and wou ld t o t a lly destroy the aa James's Park.

Th e of this bill, because that d against the bill, and they h a d Sir J.

Ho, as chairman of th e committee the house which the bill had been referred, said he hoped house would not agree to the proposal of the hon. member. It was not, as was generally supposed, intended to vote to erect gas works in the middle of Victoria-park ; the s it e proposed was a marsh ; not a house near it for a considerable distance, and it was surrounded by water, so that the great outcry that had been got up against it was absurd. Mr. B. HOPE said he had visited the spot, and he assured the house he could not call the proposed site a desert waste. The gasworks, if erected, would become an intolerable nuisance, and therefore he should support the motion of the honourable member for Bath. If these works were sanctioned it would in effect be inviting people to disfigure and make the metropolis as objection able as possible. The whole question appeared to him to be whether the company should be called to lay down a little more piping by moving their works from the re quired site or not. Ile hoped the house would give the motion of the hon. gentleman the member for Bath its ap proval and assent. Mr. AYRTON said the question to be decided by the bill was not confined to the erection of a limited amount of gas _ works, but whether they would allow two gas works to unite, and for them to concentrate their whole establish ment near Victoria Park. He thought that because a nuisance already existed near Victoria Park it could not be laid down as an argument to introduce a far greater o t n the to b e e r o o e c ul t i i o n n g o a f n t u h i e s a s e n c i e n:m be en po se sit w iv o e r ly ks d w an ou g l e d . one. (H ear, h ear.) Apart from that he was of opi ihnionaddtiht rous to the surrounding property from fear of explosion. Mr. W. COWPER said the erection of those enormous and gigantic gasworks near Victoria-park would be ex ceedingly objectionable. (Hear, hear) He, for one, could not consent to become a party to subjecting all those who went to the park for enjoyment to breathe the noxious vapours that emanated from gasworks. On public grounds he thought it the duty of the house not to sane , Wm any bill which would endanger the health or pollute the air near Victoria-park. The country had spent a great deal of money in forming the park for the benefit of the working classes at the eastern extremity of the metropolis, and now all was to be destroyed because two great gas companies proposed to unite and concentrate all their works within six huudred or eight hundred yards of Victoria-park. He could not see why the gas companies could not go elsewhere, as there were plenty o f places away from habitations where gasworks might be erected without injury to any one. Ho hoped the house would not reject the proposal of the hon. member for Bath. (Hear.) Sir J. PAR UTON said he had been solicited on the part of a large hospital established to combat with con sumption to use his utmost endeavours to prevent the erection of ages works in close proximity to that establish ment. He thought such a proposal at once highly inju rious, and therefore he should support the Motion of, the hon. member for Bath. (Hear, hear.) Mr. S. BUTLER t rus t e d the house would giveits assent to the amendment of the hon. member for Bath, and thus rescue hundreds of thousands of industrious artisans -from the nuisance that was sought to be imposed upon them. (Hear, hear. Mr. PAU L said he should give his vote in support of the bill, because he thought the great outcry that had been got up against it totally groundless. The great opponent of the bill was the popular preacher and public agitator of the neighbourhood. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) It was for the house to say whether this redoubtable per son should dictate to them where they should allow the erection of gas works. He contended that the gas works would not produce a nuisance, because all the gas manu factured was to be purified by a process which would alto gether relieve it of its noxious properties. Sir R. PEEL said he thought the opinion of the corn, mittee ought to be maintained. He objected to the hen. member for Bath standing up in that house as the standard of taste. He thought that when a committee of that house had decided that the site selected was a fit and proper one, it was highly ridiculous for the house to blindly follow the advice of the hon. member for Bath. He should like to knew whether Battersea Park was de stroyed by the gas works that existed in the locality— (hear, hear)—or whether Bath, which was one of the most beautiful places in the country, was disfigured by the gas works that existed there. (Hear, hear.) He comma tea house would support the determination of the committee. Mr. LUSK supported the amendmdnt of the hon. mem ber for Bath. Mr. HENLEY asked whether it was a sensible con rse to adopt, after having spent £lOO,OOO on a certain spot, that a group of gasworks should be erected in very close proximity thereto. He thought not, and therefore he should vote against the bill. Alderman LAWRENCE said he felt certain the house would protect the interests of the poor of the east end of London, and refuse to give its assent to such a proposal as that contained in the bill. It was said that th e gas works at the Temple were not a nuisance, but ltl it was pro posed to remove them, he like those from Brie ane and th e Curtain-road, to a proposed site near Victoria-park. If b •sa u nousature that som e n these works were of the believe whit need was would have the house gentlemen there of removal all. (Hear.) Mr. L. KING hoped the house would support the de cision of the committee, and reject the amendment of the hon. member for Bath. Mr. STANILAND said as a member of the committee to which the bill had been referred, he hoped the house would support the decision it had, alter the greatest const , deration, arrived at. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 136 Against it Majority The amendment was therefore lost, and the report was further considered, and the bill ordered to be read a third time.

The Grand Jury have returned a true bill against William Smith, charging him with the wilful murder of Sarah Mason', of No. 2, Cannon-street West. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. M.

Henry Buck horpe, a res p ectably dressed man was in dicted for stealing a q uantity of straw bonnets the pro perty of Messrs. Smith and Lester, warehousemen, City. The prisoner, it was stated was in the prosecutors' em ploy, and it was alleged that he feloniously removed from time to time a quantity of straw hats and bonnets, which he disposed of considerably below the cost price.
