kl A B, K E T A ND COZtitERCIAL iNTELLIGENOB, TWELVE O'CLOCK. As usual at this period the demand for money is increasing, and so it wilt continue until the release of the half-yearly dividends. The dividends, it may be remembered, put many millions sterling into cir culation. There is the interest on Government stock to be di3tributed, likewise the profit made by the various joint-stock companies. Therefore, not withstanding a temporary increase of demand, and higher rates, there is still likely to be a decline. A further influx of £65,000 in gold took place at the Bank of England yesterday. A meeting has been announced by the directors of the London Joint-Stock Bank to authorise the issue of 8,000 shares, in the proportion of one new to nine old shares held by each proprietor at the price of £25, being £l5 the amount paid upon the present capital, and £lO premium. The payments are to be made in four instalments, and the amount of premium, £BO,OOO, is to be added to the reserve fund. A project has been announced to establish an effective line of telegraphic communication . to India, via Egypt and Aden with the Anglo-Indian Tele graph Company, witk a' capital of £1,000,000, in 50,000 shares of £2O each. This company proposes by agreement to acquire some of the existing lines, and to manage the whole by English clerks. The direct route from London to Suez will, it is anticipated, be in actual work during tho present year, the company having • entered into contract with the Telegraph ConstruCtion and Maintenance Company for making and laying a thoroughly efficient line of telegraph from Suez to' Bombay. The liquidators of the London aud,Mediterran Bank have issued a circular explaining the position of the affairs, and stating that the call will be en forced, and orders for that purpose will forthwith be issued. The bonds of the Consolidated 5 per Cent. Peruvian Loan of• 1865 to the amount of £275,950 have been drawn at the offices of Mr. Lewis H. Haslewood, for payment at par. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the past few days there has been rather more animation. The dealings in tea, however, have been deferred until the public sales, which com mence to-day, when about 10,100 packages of China produce will be offered for competi tion. Sugars have sold more freely at in some instances rather enhanced rates, while in coffee the operations in the better descriptions of colonial have been to a fair extent, at steady. values. Rice has been moderate as regards pur chases for home consumption ; but some rather large sales have been made for exportation. In cotton scarcely any business of importance has been reported, prices generally tending downwards ; and in tallow the dealings hove led to no material alteration in quotations for either present or for ward delivery. Two O'CLOCK. On the Stock Exchange some excitement has pre vailed, owing to the inability of one of the merchants to meet his engagements through losses sustained in connection with railway share transactions and in Consols.

Up to the present time the number of victims to the fearful accident -which happened on Saturday at Walton Junction has reached seven, five of whom were either killed instantly by the collision, or died 132 fore they could be removed from the scene of the disaster. One died yesterday, and the seventh at at half-past five o'clock this morning. A searching inquiry into all the circumstances which lead up to the accident has been instituted by the managers of the London and North-Western Railway Company, but nothing of importance has been elicited beyond the main facts already pub lished. It is clear that the coal train was duly shunted to permit the passenger train to proceed_ that the signal " all right" was given by the points man—that the passenger train went on at full speed, and that when it reached the junction points it found them open instead of being closed, and so fol lowed and ran into the coal . train before a break could be put on or the steam shut off. The question as to how the points were left open, and with whom the blame rests, is one which will doubtless be clearly answered at the coroner's inquest, and i n the meanWbile John Lowson, the pointsman iu charge at the junction, has been suspended and re mains in town awaiting the result of the inquiry. The number of passengers who received injuries of so serious a character as to require surgical aid is officially stated to be 33. Of these one was sent at his own request to Burylane, five to Liverpool, four (one since dead) to the Patten Arms Hotel, War rington, and 23 to the Convalescent Hospital. This hospital is a wooden structure, built about 12 months ago, at a time when Warrington was seriously threatened with a visitation of cholera, and is admi rably adapted for the use to which it has now been put. Here, under the care of Mr. Spicks, surgeon, who has been most assiduous and untiring in his attention upon the wounded, lie at least a dozen men. Passing through the wards last evening our correspondent saw one poor fellow (Ur. Thomas Jones, of Woverhampton), who had been hurled against an arm of the carriage in which he rode with such violence that his bowels protruded, while from another blow he sustained a compound fracture of the leg. He lay quietly on the bed with his hands clasped across his breast, and no one who looked at his uncomplaining face could have guessed how dreadful were the injuries from which he was suffer ing. Ile made his will on Saturday evening, believ ing that be could not live till the morning, but be lingered throughout Sunday and last night, dying shortly after sunrise this morning. The deceased Jones leaves a young wife who is enciente. He had gone to Liverpool with the de ceased Gill to attend the annual meeting of the Pro vident Assurance Company, for which they were agents—Jones in Wolverhampton, and Gill in Bir mingham. The deceased Jones was a member of the Foresters' Society, and had been in Wolverhampton six years. He was a tall, fine young fellow, and greatly respected. Among those who were killed on the spot is a young lady who has been identified as Miss Adcock, and who was travelling from Liverpool to Wolver hampton. In her pocket was found a small diary, regularly written up from New Year's-day. The last entry she wrote was dated on the day preceding her death, and ran thus: "Oh what a miserable day. Letter from--; disappointed; very unhappy." Mrs. Partridge, of Oakford House, near Exeter, died at the Patten Arms Hotel yesterday morning. She had been on a visit toLiverpool, and was returning home in company with her son, a young man of about 22 years of age. When the collision occurred both were thrown out of the carriage, landing at some dis tance from each other, and while Mr. Spinks was attending to the young man, as one of the most dangerously injured, he was called away to attend a lady who was said to be dying, and who proved to be Mrs. Partridge. When he returned to the son he found him dead, and the mother did not survive him many hours. This afternoon an inquest upon four of the bodies which had been carried to the Norton Arms, Latch ford, was held in the house, before the coroner, Mr. Wm. Dunstan. The names of three of the deceased were James Gill, James Partridge, and Mary Eliza beth Adcock. The fourth was a woman apparently between 45 and 50 years of age, who has not yet been identified. The London and North-Western Railway Company were represented by Mr. Findlay, the general manager, and Mr. Roberts, from the office of Mr. Blenkinsop, solicitor to the company. Mr. Pilling, acting traffic manager of the district, and Mr. Thurston, goods manager, were also pre sent. After a few remarks from the Coroner, the fol lowing witnesses were called : Mr. Edwin Roberts, commission agent, residing ill King-street, Warrington, who identified the body of James Gill, 271, Pershore-road, Birmingham, commission agent ; Mr. S. Reynolds, tanner, Latchford, who identi fied the body of his cousin, James Partridge, of Kirkdale, near Liverpool; Mr. G. Adcock, 7, Canton-street, Everton, LiVer pool, commission agent, who identified the body of his daughter, Elizabeth, aged 27, schoolmistress, re siding at Liverpool ; and Mr. T. Lamb, of Oak-hill, Old Swan, Liverpool, who identified the body of his brother, Edmund Gibson, of Llantressiut, Glamorganshire, mining engineer. On the completion of this evidence the inquest was adjourned till Friday next. ILLNESS OF THE PREMIER.—Lord Derby's illness causes considerable anxiety to his family. Last night the Premier was worse than he has been since the commence ment of the attack, and the physicians attending him do not conceal their opinion as regards the somewhat critical position of the first Minister of the Crown.—Advertiser. i ` 'fir 2, 1867. ~ ~- THE SUN. LONDON, TUESDAY iIVEMSIG, JULY POLICEINTELLIGENCE.—This Day. ATARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE WAY 'TO REPRESS VIOLENT ASSAULTS — COMMITTAL WITHOUT A FlNE.—James Savage, a young man, described as a cabman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with, while drunk, assaulting Mr. Francis Sayer, licensed victualler, No. 13, flemming's-row, Leicester-square. Mr. Sayer said that last night about nine o'clock the prisoner came into his house in a state of intoxi cation, and rushed upstairs into the concert-room, and made use of very bad language, and caused a great disturbance. Ile went upstairs and remon strated with the prisoner, and while getting him downstairs the prisoner struck him several times. Ile at last succeeded in getting the prisoner into the street, having sent in the meantime for a constable, but the prisoner directly afterwards re turned to the house, and, making a rush at him,- struck him twice over the countEr, and he then gave him into custo3y. Police -constable Eo:Aeshall, 192 C, said that on being called to the complainant's house he saw the prisoner strike him twice. The prisoner said he was very sorry. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could not overlook these violent assaults, and must send the prisoner for 14 days' hard labour without the option of paying a fine. STABBING BY A BoT.---George Candall, a boy 10 years of age, was charged with stabbing another boy about the same age, named Henry Moore, in the arm with a pocket-knife while in Berwick:. street, Soho. The evidence was not of a very satisfactory na tuLe, the prosecutor stating that the wound was purposely inflicted, while previously he had stated that it was accidentally done. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the boy. peace with them. I thaiik the Imperial Commission, the members of the jury; ana the different com mittees, for the intelligent zeal they hare displayed in the accomplishment'of their tasks. I thank them also iu the name of the Prince Imperial, Whom, not withstanding his tender age, I have been happy to associate in this great undertaking, of which be wil retain the remembrance. I hope the Exhibition of 1867 will mark a new era of harmony and progress Assured that Pro . vidence blesses tlit efforts of all who, like ourselves, &sire good, I believe in the de finitive triumph of the great principles of morality and justice, which, whilesAtisfj ing all iegititnate de sires, are alone able to consolidate thrones, to elevate nations, and to ennoble humanity." 7HE GOLD MEDALS AWARDED 70 8R177511 EXHIBITORS.

IMPORTANT PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE BUILD ING ACT.—Mr. Charles Dunk, of No. 48, Burdett road, appeared before Mr. Partridge to answer summonses taken out by Mr. Henry S. Legg, district surveyor, of Mile-end Old Town, which charged the defendant with violating the 29th clause of the Building Act, the 18th and 19th Viet., cap. 122, which declares " that any building used or intended to be used as a dwelling-house unless all the rooms can be lighted and ventilated from a street or alley adjoining shall have in the rear or on the side thereof an open space exclusively belonging thereto of the extent at least of 100 square feet." Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, in opening the case for the prosecution, said these proceedings were taken by Mr. Legg, the district surveyor, for the public benefit. The defendant had built houses in the Burdett-road, and had not given the space required by law either at the rear or at the side. It was highly necessary for the purposes of ventila tion, the public health, and for sanitary regulations, that the wholesome provisions of the law should be carried out, particularly when the metropolis was being extended in all directions, and every inch of ground was being covered with buildings. Mr. Henry S. Legg, a district surveyor, produced plans and elevations of the buildings, and his brother also, an architect and surveyor, proved that notices had been served on the defendant, and that the areas behind the houses in question did not contain 100 square feet each. The size of the area of one house was 46 feet, another 68 feet, another 74 feet, and a fourth 96 feet. The defence set up by the defendant was that the back offices and kitchens to the houses were not of the same height as the houses, and with these sup plementary buildings or appurtenances there was a space of more than 100 feet. Mr. Charles Young—But not an open space. The act contemplates a clear open space withou t buildings from the heavens. There was a fifth house, a corner one, without the requisite space in the rear, but as it was lighted from the side no pro ceedings were taken in respect to the fifth house. Mr. Partridge said the words open space were used, and it would be an evasion of the act if buildings of any height or dimensions were con structed on any part of the hundred square feet. The law was a most important one, and must be obeyed and enforced. He made an order upon the defendant to have a clear open space or area of 100 square feet behind the four houses, and to pay the cost of the summonses. Mr. Dunk said he should appeal. Mr. Henry S. Legg said in every case that came under his notice he should enfcrce the provisions of the law. 711 E PARIS EXHIBITION. PARIS, July 1. The Emperor, in distributing the prizes at the Exhibition to-day, delivered the following speech : " Gentlemen,—After an interval of 12 years I have come for the second time to distribute the rewards to those who have most distinguished themselves in those works which enrich nations, embellish life, and soften manners. The poets of antiquity sung the praises of those great games in which the various nations of Greece assembled to contend for the prizes of the race. What would they say to- day were they to be present at these Olympic games of the whole world, in which all nations, contesting by intellect, seem to launch themselves simultaneously in the infinite career of progress towards an ideal incessantly approached without ever being able to be attained ? From all parts of the earth the representatives of science, of the arts, and of industry have hastened to vie with each other ; and we may say that peoples and kings have both come to do honour to the efforts of labour, and to crown them by their presence with the idea of conciliation and peace. Indeed, in these great assemblies, which appear to have no other object than material interests, a moral sentiment always disengages itself from the competition of intelligence, a sentiment of concord and civilisation. In drawing near, nations learn to know and esteem each other ; hatred is extinguished, and the truth becomes more and more evident that the prosperity of each coun try contributes to the prosperity of all. The Exhi bition of 1867 may justly be termed universal, for it unites the elements of all the riches of the globe. Side by side with the latest improvements of modern art appear the products of the remotest ages, so that they represent at one and the same time the genius of all ages and of all nations. It is universal ; for, in addition to the marvels luxury brings forth for the few, it displays also that which is demanded by the necessities of the many. The interests of the labouring classes have never aroused more lively solicitude. Their moral and material wants, their education, the conditions of life at a cheap rate, the most productive combinations of association have been the object of patient inquiries, of serious study. Thus all improvements march for ward. If science, by turning matter to account, liberates labour, the cultivation of the mind,asaionbsy, subduing vices, prejudices, and vulgar p also liberates humanity. Let us congratulate our selves, gentlemen, upon having received among us the majority of the sovereigns and princes of Europe, distinguished visitor s . L et us also shown to them F rance as she ur o b p e e p , r and ou d o so f many having is— great, prosperous, and free. One must be des titute of all patriotic faith to doubt of her greatness; must close one's eyes to evidence to deny her prospe rity; must misunderstand her institutions,' olerant sometimes even of license, not to behold in them liberty. Foreigners have been able to appreciate this. France—formerly disquieted, and casting out her uneasiness beyond her frontiers—is now laborious and calm, always fertile in generous ideas, turning her genius to the most diverse marvels, and never allowing herself to be enervated by material enjoy ments. Attentive minds will have divined without trouble that, notwithstanding the development of wealth, notwithstanding enticements towards pro sperity, the fibre of the nation is always ready to vibrate as soon as the question of honour and the country arises ; but this noble susceptibility could not be a subject of alarm for the repose of the world. Let those who have lived for a short time amongst us carry to their homes a just opinion of our country ; let them feel persuaded of the senti ments of esteem and sympathy we entertain for foreign nations, and to our sincere desire to live at GRoUP 111.

Batthyany and Union Jack were sent a couple of good gallops of a mile and a quarter. Chantilly, Churchill, and Stock holm had some gallops of a mile. The others took it more steadily. On Sunday, as usual, most of the nags -were out, and, having got through some exer cise, returned again early. NEWMARKET. On Monday morning 111. Dawson again gave Leollif a couple or so of steady spins, accompanied /~ 7 by Innerdale, Nihny, Contempt, Corinne, Snow drift, East India, Angus, Speculum, and led by Nike. He also sent Julius a smart gallop, and was doing a fair amount of work with Greenback, Opoponax, Sultan, Beadle, Highland Sister, and several more. All the other stables were repre sented, the horses taking plenty of healthy exercise. ment would sea the necessity of adopting the grouping o the boroughs as proposed by the hon. member fur Wick (Oh, oh.) The clause, as amended, was then ordered to stand part of the bill. Mr. NEATE then moved the following new clause, to follow clause 17, viz.: -" Where any corporation, lay or eccesiastical, shall be entitled as owners in their own right to lands or tenements of freehold tenure in any county, and such lands or tenements shall be let at rack - rent, and the rent recoverable therefrom in any one county shall be such as would give to each member of such corporation, according to the rules or statutes of such corporation, a sum of not less than twenty pounds as his annual rhare thereof, then every member of such corporation shall be entitled to be registercd as a voter, sal, when registered, to v;..te at the election of a trequber' or meinWrs to serve in Parliament for such county." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the clause introduced an entirely new principle, and, there fore ho hoped the house would hesitate betore they adopted it. As he thought it was unnecessary, ho should oppose the proposal to embody it in the bill. The clause was then rejected. Mr. 111BBERT then moved the following clause:— It shall not be lawful for any candidate, or any one on his behalf, at any election to Ray any money on account of the conveyance of any itottrr to the poll, either to the voter hinisegvq:.) any tither person, or for any parson to receive from any candid*, or any one on his Ceualf, any money on account of sue conveyance ; and it any such candidate, or any person trlis behalf, shall pay, and any such person shall receiv any money on account of the conveyance of any vot o the poll, such payment shall be deemed to be au illerlipaymeut within the meaning of " The Corrupt Practiges Prevention Act, 1851." The house was engaged discussing the clause up to seven o'clock, at which hour the sitting was suspended until nine o'clock. MALTON. Saturday's business commenced early with the different small teams, on account of the heat. John Scott had out a string of a dozen. Among them doing mile and a half canters twice over were Ver non,Westwick, and Klarinska, the three looking and going well. Taraban, who had returned from castle on the previous day, was looking uncom monly well, and took gentle exercise. LAMBOURNE. There was about the same amount of work got through as on the previous day. Half sister to Student again took Summertime a half speed gal lop a little over two miles. The Parson did about the same amount of work on Friday. After one short canter he went the mile gallop at half speed, and the rest of the team were doing walking ex ercise. Knight had out Lady Rosehill, Kimruer, Curfew 8011, and Kingsland. Lady Rosehill and Kimmer, after a short canter, galloped together for three quarters of a mile. Kingsland and Curfew Bell did steady trotting exercise. Bates's and Wetherell's repeated their previous day's work. FYFIELD. On Saturday morning the weather was bi fully fine and clear. Alec Taylor's team was out early on the Clatford Downs. After having several canters, the following horses galloped two miles : Pintail, Dulcimer, Bradamaute, and the two Mayo naise fillies. Flutter c. (aged), Staghound, Pepper's Ghost, Skirmisher colt, and the Flutter colt (3 yrs), after cantering, galloped the,same distance as the above, as did also Splitvote colt, Lord Paramount, Toxophilite colt, Gentle Kitty filly, and Newcastle filly. RICIIMOND. Saturday was very hot and dry.' Elliott was first out, with a dozen, all cantering twice gently ; then llawkswell and Rel Tub went a good two mile gallop, the first named going the best, and I fancy him for the Cumberland Plate. Moldavia and Gleaner went a nice gallop of a mile. Tom Lund sent Nothing More and Dear Tom a mile and a half gently. James Watson had twenty-four out, "s7ho only walked. Lord Zetland's horses exercised in the park at Aske. S'EOCKBRIDGE. On Monday morning Lord Ronald led Vauban two canters about a mile, John Davis and Lec turer doing the same with Lord of the Dales, Go m era, Lady Hester, and Ines, together with the two year olds, Birdseeker, Painshill, The Earl, Herald, Purser, Logarithm, and Aquila, all of whom had two canters of three-quarters of a mile. The two fillies, Athena and Lady Elizabeth, have done well since they ran at Stockbridge. FINDON. Yesterday morning Goater had his homes out from both stables by two o'clock ; they went again to the Black Patch, but none of them did work of any consequence ; in fact, the only horses that can tered were those that I named as doing work on Saturday and Sunday. The Vixen colt and Pakrita were walking on the mossy ground above the Muntham Well House.--Sportsman. AMERICA. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) CROONIIAVEN, Julp2.

LEONARDS, with regard to the Commons amendments on this bill, made some observations which wore totally inaudible. SALE OF LAND BY AUCTION BILL. Lord ST. LEONARDS stated that, with regard to this they had to consider the reasons given by the Commons to their objections to the bill, and ho might state that he considered that the bill was in its original form adapted to meet all requirements. The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed with his noble and learned friend, and should certainly for ono propose that the Lords' amendments should be taken upon those of the Commons, as there were many important clauses in the bill which could not be Missed. On a division it was found that the contents were 9, and the non-contents 50 ; consequently, the Commons' Amendments were agreed to. COUNTY TREASURERS (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time. SALMON FISHERY (IREBILLLAND) ACT AMENDMENT This bill was committed. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THis DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 2 o'clock. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. The house went into oommitteo on this bill. Mr. ROEBUCK moved that the Chairman report pro gress with a view of inserting Sheffield amongst the large towns to which it was proposed to give a third member. A lengthened discussion ensued, which ultimately led to the withdrawal of the motion, and the regular debate was resumed on the proposal of Mr. Horsfall to give a third member to Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was proposed to add Leeds to the list of boroughs returning three members. Mr. HADFIELD persisted in his desire to have Shef field included. The hse then divided, when there appeared_ Forou the amendment 122 A ga inst it •• 258 Majority ---136 The amendment was accordingly rejected. Mr. BERKELEY then moved that Bristol be added to the list. Mr. MONCK advised the withdrawal of the proposal, as ho had a motion on the paper which would effect that object in the end. A long discussion again ensued, when a division took place on the question that Bristol be added to the list, when there appeared— -136 For the amendment 235 - —99 A g ainst it Majority against The proposal that fanchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Leeds each for the future send three members to Par liament was then agreed to, and on the proposal that the clause, as amended, stand part of the bill, Sergeant GASELEE moved that certain wore h e s ho . 6 1 e a d d to the clause, in or der that each of the borougbe rs, and tea into two wards, on e to return two mem other one. ti:lirno pposed f m th e e meho EX it.hs C eo ll o, E v the T amendment, e CHANCELLOR n men t a geaut's side of the house sugged sec- ested i :l t hi ldrawal of the mint refused to do so. amendment, but the learned g kiev it to hou k t n a ow di f v r i o s m ion. what 4,1 r.

C hise. Ho believed wa s finally an unfair course to adopt, and before tho claus e was finally agreed to ho hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would state exactly what he proposed to do. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it became necessary to find four members for the four large towns, and therefore ho must find them in the schedule of boroughs it was proposed to enfranchise. It was in the schedule of the bill, now on the table of the house, that the four members must be found. Mr. GLADSTONE said Salford was not in the schedule. It had already been decided that Salford and Merthyr Tydvil should return two members instead of one, and a resolute resistance would bo made to prevent a recon sideration of that enactment. Mr. AYRTON said ho thought the time was fast ap proaching when the committee would have to ask itself whether they intended to pass the bill at all. It appeared to him that the fault would be on his bide of the house. A number of seats had been given by the bill for redistribution, and the Government had proposed a plan which he thought ought to be looked upon as a whole. They had, however, taken one view of the matter which it was now proposed to alter. Ho did not see why the house should be overborne by Lancashire (Hear, hear.) Ile thought the best thing they could do would bo to go to the Government schedules, when they could fully go into the question. If it was determined to go on as they were going at present, he despaired of ever bringing the matter to a satisfactory conclusion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should bo prepared on Thursday to state what modifica tion the Government proposed to make in the schedule. lie thought the suggestion of the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets was every sagacious one, and he hoped the house would see the necessity of adopting it.

Some time ago the Academy of Sciences requested M. Babinet to report on a system of aeronautics invented by M. de Louvrie. 11i. Babinet obeyed and pronounced in favour of the invention. Since then, however, the Academy has appointed a com mission to examine the system, which course would almost seem to be a disapproval of M. Babinet's conclusion. In his report, which the Academy has thought proper not to publish, M. Bahia°, says : " The question before us is not whether it be possible to support and move a body in the air, but whether the moving power be well adapted to the work to be done, and this is the case with M. de Louvrie's system. In his apparatus, an inclined plane of sufficient surface, making a very small angle with the horizon, is drawn horizontally by a motive power. Thus we get a vertical force counterbalancing the effect of gravity, and a horizontal oue, measuring the effort of traction required. The motive power is here represented by a hollow cylinder which re ceives at the same time a quantity of air and a proportion of highly inflammable gas derived from some volatile hydrocarburet, such as ben zine or petroleum. This cylinder acts like a rocket ; it has a small orifice at one end and is closed at the other, where the resistance offered to the small explosion of the mixture generates a recoil. Of these explosions there are from 30 to 40 per minute, and the recoil is therefore re peated as many times, and each time the cylinder causes the vessel ,to advance." The inclined plane spoken of by M. Babinet is a sort of kite e , ten metres long, made of wire gauze, th interstices of which are filled up with gutta percha ; the vessel carrying the aeronaut is made of thin sheet-copper, and is seven metres in length ; it is provided with a reservoir of benzine or petroleum at each extremity. The explosion of the air and benzine meeting in the cylinder is deter mined by an electric spark, as in Lenair's well known machine. The other contrivances are, as usual, calculated to direct the vehicle, to. rise in the air, or land without a shock. MARIE TB. 7 This day. HAY.

TEA.—Business has remained very inactive, the trade having deferred their operations until to-day, when about 10,100 packages of China produce will be offered without reserve. _ _. SUGAR.—There has been a fair demand for West India, and prices generally have remained steady. In refined goods moderate transactions have boon reported, common testers being quoted 435 per cwt. COFFER.—Moro activity has, prevailed, and some rather large parcels of plantation Ceylon have boon disposed of at fully late rates. The stocks on hand, compared with those of the • corresponding period of last year, show a decrease of about 1,200 tons. RICE.—A very moderato business has been transacted for home consumption, but there is still some inquiry for floating cargoes for exportation, and full rates are realised. COTTON.—The demand continues very restricted, and prices show increased depression. TALLow.—There has been little alteration to note in the price of tallow during the past week, but a fair busi ness has been done both in settlement of the mouth and for the end of the year. THE VICEROY OF EGYPT..—The departure of the Viceroy front Paris on his visit to this country, is, we understand, delayed for a few days, owing, it is stated to an invitation front the Sultan, who has asked his Highness to prolong his stay in Paris. It is probable that the Viceroy will arrive in London about Thursday next. PUNISHMENT OF AN ADULTERESS. —A Florence letter in the Situation gives some details of a tragical event which has taken piece in Count Pallavicini's house hold. This general, who belonged to a noble Genocse family, enjoyed a high, position in the esteem of the Italian nation and army. It was he who received Garibaldi's sword at Aspromonte. About a year ago he married a young and beautiful ealahrtan lady. The general seems to have had well-founded reasons for distrusting his wife; and, estooldniey:i. a h ) e , s s sa i i n v c ‘ e y , h o a n t returning y r eh niui into house a f n ro e tu pa x ess r a deu o f n expefury, and with his sword, at a singlo blow, he killed the countess.
