MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market opened with the same appear ance of ease that has characterised it for the last few days. There is an abundance of floating capital, and first-class commercial bills are readily negociable on very moderate ter ms , th e rates current b e i ng 2 2k per cent. A small sum of gold, amounting to £26,000, was reePived at the bullion office of the Bank of Eng land yesterday. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 30 32, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 24 25. The traffic receipt on the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the third week in June amounted to $90,825 against $131,316 in the cor responding period last year, showing a decrease of $40,491. The directors of the Port Phillip and Colonial Gold Mining Co. have received by telegram from Suez the following advises in anticipation of the Australian mail from their resident director, Mr. Bland, at Climes :—" Three weeks return for May, ,500 tons ; crushed yelding 13 dwts. 17 grs. per ton.

The amount of gold from abroad sent in during the week was £177,000, and, as the payment of the dividends usually occasions a with drawal of about £400,000 in sovereigns, it appears from the present figures that a considerable influx m ust have taken place from the redundant internal circulation of coin. 8411 lained is a compar i son of the present position of the Bank of England and the prioe of Consols wit h the corresponding week of last year : Sams week At present. last year. )3ask lowlifes. £22 ,541,231 _ ... .9:890930:6474g Notes in retorts: ... 13,488,151 ...

The reception of his Imperial Majesty the Sultan in the Floral-hall on the occasion of the State visit on Monday next bids fair to present many novel and most interesting features. His Majesty the Sultan will be accompanied by his Imperial Highness Monseigneur Youssouff Izzedin Effendi, eldest son of his Imperial Majesty ; his Imperial Highness Monseigneur Hamid Effendi, nephew of his Imperial Majesty ; and by his Im perial Highness Monseigneur Murad Effendi, nephew of his Imperial Majesty. His Majesty's suite consists of no less than 59 persons, including the following dignitaries :--His Highness Fuad Pasha, Minister of Foreign Affairs; his Excellency Kiamil Bey, Grand Master of the Ceremonies ; his Excellency Arify Bey, First Inter preter; Ali Fuad Bey, Private Secretary to the Mini ster. Imperial Ircusehold—His Excellency Djemil Bey, First Chamberlain ; Emin Bey, First Secre tary ; Halid Bey, Second Chamberlain ; Hairoullah Effendi, First Almoner, with five other officers of State. Military Staff.—Rassim Pasha, Admiral ; Marco Pasha, Principal Physician ; Reouf Pasha, Brigadier-General, First Aide-de-Camp ; Riza Bey, Colonel Aide-de-Camp ; Hazif Bey, Colonel ; Salyh Bey, Lieutenant-Colonel, Aide-de-Camp, with five other officers of State. Household.—Ahmed Bey, Master of the Wardrobe ; Ham Effendi, Hussein Bey, Halil Aga, Said Bey, Edib Effendi, with 26 other officers. His Imperial Majesty will also be attended by the following officers of her Majesty's llousehold— viz., the Lord Steward, the Lord Chamberlain the Master of the Horse, the Captain of the Yeoman of the Guard, the Gold Stick, the Vice-Chamber lain, the Treasurer of her Majesty's Household, the Controller of her Majesty's Household, the Silver Stick, the Field Officer in Brigade Waiting, the Controller of the Lord Chamberlain's Depart ment. An escort of cavalry will attend his Majesty the Sultan to the opera. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, attended by his suite, and accompanied by his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge and other members of the Royal family, will arrive shortly before the Sultan in readiness to receive his Majesty in the Floral-hall. On the conclusion of the ceremony of the reception the procession will be formed and pass from the west to the east end of the Floral hall, and then ascend the ES taireago leading through the Crush-room of the Opera-home to the Royal box. As soon as the Royal party arrive in the box, which will be placed in the centre of the house, the curtain will rise and the National Anthem will be sung. The opera, Auber's " Masaniello," will then commence. The presence of his imperial Majesty the Sultan, with the Imperial Princes, and surrounded by his brilliant suite, and also by the officers of her Ma jesty's household, together with hi. 3 Royal highness the Prince of Wales and suite, will form a coup (rail of surpassing interest. The galleries, as well as the lateral aisles of the Floral-hall are to be set apart for spectators, the aisle being separated from the centre of the hall by low banks of planks and flowers. THE BELG L4N VOLUNTEERS. To-day our foreign friends visited the City of London, where they were entertained in the most sumptuous manner by the Lord Mayor. The at tention of our foreign visitors was riveted by the crowds of persons who assembled to greet them on their march, and altogether a scene—not, how ever, without some confusion—of the most ani mated description presented itself. Fleet street, St. Paul's. Churchyard, and Cheapside were thronged to such an extent that all business pur poses were almost entirely put a stop to ; but, not withstanding this temporary inconvenience, the citizens generally showed their appreciation of the visit by the display of thousands of banners and flags from their windows and house tops, the Belgian colours, of course, preponderating over all the rest. The Belgians seemed in ecstacies with their recep tion, and returned the salutations they received with the greatest enthuiaslll. SHARE MARKETS.—This Day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

His journey to England will only strengthen this impression. Should the impression remain, it will exercise, let us hope, a happy influence over the future acts of his government. Fund Pasha, moreover, in all his interviews with the politicians who have had relations with him during his stay in Paris, has constantly repeated that the journey of his sovereign would havo the best effect upon the emancipation of the East." ANTICIPATED LEGAL CIIINGES.—TherO was the usual amount of speculation in legal circles yester day, in reference to t:•:o vacancy which has been created on the bench by the death of Lord Justice Sir George Turner, and there is no doubt that in consequence of the arrears of businesa an appointment will be made without delay. There seems to bo no doubt, amongst those who aro well qualified to give an opinion, that Sir John Rolt, the presant Attorney-General, will be the new Lord Justice, in which case Sir John Karslake will become Attorney-General. For the post of Solicitor-General several names are men tioned ; but as a Chancery barrister will doubtless be appointed to act with Sir John Kerslake, Mr. Selwyn is generally named as the new Solicitor-General.

PICKPOCKETS AND THE BELGIAN VOLUNTEERS. —Two fellows, named Joseph Doughty and Henry Marsden, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with loitering in Coventry street, for the purpose of committing a felony. After some evidence had been given, Mr. Tyrwhitt said that everybody acquainted with the police courts must be aware of the fact that as soon as a body of foreigners arrived they were followed and hunted about by a parcel of tho lowest fellows. It was a disgrace that the Volunteers could not ho hero more than a few hours before they were set upon by such fellows as the pri soners. That was the reception they met with on their arriving here. Ile should commit the prisoners for three months each, wirh hard labour. WESTMINSTER. THE BELGIAN VOLUNTEERS.—Edward Sweeney, a youth between 17 and 18 years of age, was placed at the bar charged with the following impud.3nt robbery upon the occasion of tho Belgians' debarcation at Westminsor bridge. _ _ 11;jor Henry Court, an agod gentleman, coming from Twyford, and a stranger in London, said that at a little after five yesterday afternoon he was going from Parlia ment-street to 'Westminster-bridge, when he was suddenly involved in a crowd of persons and robbed of a pair of silver eye glasses, which the prisoner afterwards threw away. William Lush, 198 A, said ho was on duty at Westmin ster-bridge when the Belgians were landing, and saw Major Court. lie was suddenly surrounded by four or five thieves, including the prisoner, who impudently went in front of him, and, taking the eye-glasses from his waist coat pocket, broke them from a stout rihaud to which they were attached. Witness seized him, when ho throw the glasses down, and then kicked them from him. Prisoner—lt's all a mistake—the gentleman takes me for somebody else that has robbed him. I ain't guilty, upon my soul. Of course it is easy to make a mistake. Lush said the prisoner had some trouble to break the riband, it was so strong. In duing so he had bent the eye-glasses. Prisoner was fully committed for trial. AQUATIC 3. THE SAILING BARGE MATCH. The extensive popularity of the sailing barge regatta was fully demonstrated on Thursday by the extraordinary number of persons congregated to witness the event. There were no fewer than seven steamers accompanying the raco filled with company, and besides these Lord de Ros in his Mabel, and a vast number of other yachts belonging to gentlemen of different clubs. The following were entered: —Topsail Barges, not exceeding 50 tons register —lst prize, £lB cup to the owner, .£lO 10s. to the crew; 2d prize, .£l2 cup to the owner, .£5 ss. to the crew; 3d prize, £8 cup to the owner, £3 3s. to the crew.

Meeting of Middlesex Magistrates. A meeting of the county magistrates was held yes terday for the transaction of county business. Mr. Kemshead was caned to the chair pro tem. There was a numerous attendance of magistrates. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Kemshead) said the first business they had to transact was of a very pleasing character, namely, the election of a chairman of the sessions until the county day of next July quarter sessions. He had no doubt iu his own mind who that chairman would be, for they had had that gentleman's services for many years, and, doubt less, he would be re-elect e d th a t d a y. Mr. ARMSTRONG said h e h a d m uch pleasure in proposing the name of Mr. Pownall as their chair man for the ensuing year. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. POWNALL then took the chair amid loud ap plause, and, in returning thanks for the compliment that had been paid him, said he had always felt great pleasure in fulfilling, or attempting to fulfil, the duties which the office involved. THE COUNTY AND LUNATIC RATES. The next business was to make an ordinary county rate, and a rate under the lunatic asylum. Mr. KEMSHEAD said he had to ask for a some what heavy county rate this time, in order to meet the necessary expenses ; and ho would therefore move that a rate of three farthings in the pound be made for the county rate, and one halfpenny in the pound for the lunatic rate. This was approved. HOUSE OF CORRECTION, COLDBATII-FIELDS.

The Sultan arrived here in the Imperial yacht La Reine Hortense at a quarter to 11 this morning, and was received by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the Viceroy of Egypt, and Staff. The fleet in the bay saluted and manned yards. liis Majesty proceeded to the Lord Warden Hotel, where an address was presented by the Mayor and Corporation. Tha:traii► with the illustriou3 party left fur London at half-past 12. CHARING-CROSS STATION. This afternoon the Sultan arrived in London. His Royal Highness the Prince of \Vales left town early this morning for Dover, to welcome his High ness to England. Grand preparations were made at the Charing-cross Station of the South-Eastern Railway to receive his Highness with becoming state. The spacious station was eligibly decorated with flags and evergreens, and vast galleries filled with elegantly dressed ladies gave a special charm to the exciting scene. The floral display within the station was most beautiful, and the taste that had designed and'' carried into effect the whole of this part of the imposing proceeding was worthy the highest praise. At the upper end of the platform where it was arranged the royal carriage was to stop, was covered with scarlet carpetting, and vast pyramids of flowers were placed at either end, giving the whole a most picturesque and charming appear ance. The Grenadiers formed the guard of honour, under the command a Col. Dudley Carleton and the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), under the com mand of Col. Williams, attended to escort his High ness to Buckingham Palace. At a quarter before two six of her Majesty's state carriages drove into the station, and at a quarter to three the royal train arrived, and his Highness the Sultan, on alighting, was received with tremendous cheers and every demonstration of respect. Having acknowledged the salutations of the company his Highness entered an open carriage and proceeded to Buckingham Palace. MARKETS.—Thia day. MARK LANE. Although the supply of English wheat on sale here to day was limited the demand for all kinds ruled very in active. However, in the few sales effected, Monday's prices were supported. The quantity of foreign wheat offering was moderately extensive. Fine dry samples were held at full quota tions; but inferior kinds were quite neglected. Floating cargoes of grain ruled about stationary. Both English and foreign barley were in short supply, and moderate request, at full prices. Malt was in good supply, and steady request, on former terms. The show of oats was large. Good sound corn realised full quotations, but damp parcels wero a slow inquiry, at barely late rates. Betlns and peas were held on former terms. The supply was very limite3. The flour trade was somewhat heavy; but no decline took place in the quotations. BPLIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

[Tho following appeared in our late edition of yesterday evening : The ceremony of receiving the Belgian Volun teers took place to-day, and resulted in a success of the most animated and brilliant description. The reception committee met early this morning, and, having settled the preliminarie's as far as possible touching the provision to be made for the visitors, proceeded to Westminster-bridge and embarked on board the Swift en route to .Gravesend. . The company on board comprised the following : Col. Loyd Lindsay, V.C., M.P., Lord Londes borough, Sir B. Phillips, the Ilon. 11. C. Lindsay, M.P., G. Wich, Vice-Cousul of Belgium ; C. Do Grelle, Consular Agent of Belgium ; C. Mertens, Commercial Agent of Belgium ; Col. Beresford, Warde, 'Col. Esdaile, Col. Mathews, Major Butler, Major Walmesley, Capt. Oldershavv, Capt. Grey, Capt. Styan, Lieut. Green, Capt. Bristow, Capt. Farrell, Capt. J. B. Heeles, Capt. Nelson, Capt. Crosland, Capt. Webber, Capt. Deighton, C. Cockcraft, Esq., Mr. Burgess, Mr. Pascoe, Mr. S. Sidney, &c. The attendance on board the Swift was aug mented at the .Old Swan Pier, and from this point the vessel proceeded on its voyage, the band of the Victoria Rifles playing the most inspiriting military airs, and colours flying from stem to stern. On arriving opposite Greenwich the first demonstration was made, the Trafalgar Hotel displaying innumer -- able flags from every window, the whole presenting a very pretty effect. The journey to Gravesend was accomplished in the most quiet and enjoyable man ner, but on coming in sight of her Majesty's noble steamship Serapis, which had conveyed the Belgians to England, a loud and wringing cheer was given by the company on board the Swift, which was answered by tremendous cheering from. the Belgians on board the noble vessel. Cheer followed cheer, waving of hats, and every demon stration of enthusiastic delight took place amongst those on board the Serapis.' • Brass bands of each vessel played the national anthem of the respective countries, but above all was to be beard the voices of our distinguished visitors singing, with the greatest enthusiasm, " God Save the Queen." The Serapis dipped her colours in compliment to the arrival of the Committee, and the Swift having returned the compliment, an other tremendous cheer broke forth, and before it had died away the Swift was alongside the Serapis. Here a scene of the wildest enthusiasm took place. As each person set his foot on board the splendid steamship he was completely overwhelmed with the congratulations and compliments of the visitcrs. Colonel Loyd Lindsay made his way to the poop of the Serapis, where the officers in command of the Belgian Volunteers having taken their places in front, the gallant colonel addressed them in French, of which the following is an English translation :—He said he was anxious that the first words that they heard on reaching the English shore should be the words of welcome, and he therefore hastened on board before they set their foot on English soil to congratulate them on having accomplished their voyage in safety. His words would be- few, but they would be sincere and earnest, because they were spoken on behalf of the British people, who were always sen sitive to any act of kindness received, and ready and eager to reciprocate the offices of international friendship. On behalf of t! Committee of Recep tion, on behalf of the Volunteeri of England, on behalf of the whole nation, he said to theni, • - "Ln welcome to our country." (Great cheering.) We thank you for coming in such large numbers and in so friendly a spirit to visit our capital. We do not receive you as strangers, we welcome you as friends, amongst whom we have spent happy days, the pleasant remembrance of which can never be effaced. Last year it was his high privilege as Commander of the English volunteers, who visited their friendly country, to enjoy a large portion of their hospitality. It was now his pleasant duty, as chairman of the Reception Committee, to receive them on the anxiously expected occasion of their return visit.. There was but one cloud to darken the brightness of. the joyful meeting between the two nations. The remembrance of a dreadful tragedy which had been so recently enacted in another hemisphere. That must. -darken their fete and sadden every heart ; and also friendly ties which united the brave monarch whose sad fate we mourned to the royal families both of Belgium and England. We had hoped that these fetes might have been honoured by the presence of his Majesty the King of the Belgians. His gra cious hospitality, so princely and yet so f:ieudly, and which he sx'ended to: cvcry Volunteer who visited Belgium last year, had impressed them all with a feeling of lasting reverence and gratitude, and he need not assure them with what heartfelt enthusiasm the people of England would- have welcomed their King, nor how deeply they sympathised with the sorrow which forbade him and his gracious consort from participating in their festivities. But though deprived of the cheering presence of their Sovereign, he hoped that they might be able to render their visit to this country agreeable to themselves, and that they would think on their return home of an increased feeling of friendship towards England. As far as the day was concerned, the committee had thought that after their long voyage repose would be acceptable to them, but to-morrow the Lord Mayor and the Cor poration of London would cordially welcome them to the ancient city hall, and on Saturday the Prince of Wales would receive them at Wimble don, and with his own hand present them with a badge commemorative of their visit. Next week an entertainment would be provided for them by Miss Burdett Coutts, who would hospitably receive theta all at a morning fete at her villa, and the committee had organised a grand ball and concert at the Agricultural Hall, besides other minor fetes. Ile begged them, therefore, to accept these I proffered hospitalities in the spirit in which they were tendered—the spirit of goodwill and free in tercourse. (Loud cheers.) England fervently hoped that the result of the visit of so large a body lof Belgians to our shores might lead to an increase of international respect and friendship—goodwill I amongst men and peace amongst nations. (Loud cheers.) Col. Gregoire, on behalf of the Belgians, re turned thanks, and said that it was with the greatest pleasure that the Belgians visited Eng ' land. Ile hoped that the visit would tend to a strong and lasting feeling of amity and friendship between the two countries. (Cheers.) Here another scene of enthusiasm took place ; I the cheering was tremendous, and the effect pre sented by the waving of handkerchiefs and hats, de ' corated with every variety of plume and colour, was spirit -stirring in the extreme. Another compliment ' the Belgians paid to this country at large was that ' each of them had affixed at the end of his rifle a miniature copy of the English ensign beautifully worked in silk. The greater part of the living cargo having been safely placed on board the Sea Swallow, bearing a red flag, the Elfin blue, the Fairy and Ibis yellow, and the. Naiad white, the voyage to London commenced shortly before two o'clock. The passage up the river ' was of the most liv e n description, our Belgian visitors being at every p ' saluted in the most hearty English m anner. total!

EMIGRATION OF A REPENTANT UNIONIST. — James Hallam, whose coufvssion of his complicity in the murder of Linley, and in other minor outrages at Sheffield, compelled Samuel Crookes and W. Broadhead to confess, has loft England. It was feared that his life would not have been safe had he remained in the neighbourhood of the men whose deeds he had disclosed, and, after receiving his certificate, he left the country on Wednesday. Of him it may with truth be said that he was the only one of the men who were engaged in the murderous deeds that have been disclosed who manifested the slightest symptom of remorse. He confessed readily+pnnugh to the explosion at Messrs. Wheatman and Smith's, but it was not until after a prolonged struggle, in which his sufferings, both mental and physical, were painful to witness, that ho revealed the dreadful story of JAinleY mud".

Ina late number we gave an account of the application of petroleum as a means of generating steam for propel ling vessels, for which purcose the United States steamship Palos was fitted with the necessary apparatus. We now give the account of the trial trip, taken from the Boston Advertiser of the 15th June:— The Palos left her dock at the navy yard at ten minutes before 11 o'clock, and returned to it shortly before one. When she had been out fifteen minutes it was found that she was moving through the water at a rate of over eleven and a half miles an hour, and she was gaining steadily with thirty-eight pounds of steam, having started with thirty-five pounds. This fact caused considerable sur prise on board when it was shown that, under the coal as fuel system, upon its first trial trip, when the vessel was now, its best time was only eight knots an hour, and that it had not made bettor time than eight and a half since until now. It was further clearly demonstrated to tho intensely interested passengers that the Palos was in very poor him, that her bow stood up from the water and her stern was planted down ; that she dragged dead water and in several other respects was not all right, and therefore that the rate of speed under the circumstances was rather extraordinary. The vessel went down the harbour past the forts and islands, and out to sea a short distance beyond Boston Light, and then returned by a somewhat circuitous route. The first 48 minutes she made over eleven and a half miles, and ran upon the entire trip twenty-five miles in 1 hour and 55 minutes. With her action and the success of tho experiment there was general satisfaction among the passengers, and much enthusiasm was shown by the scientific gentlemen. The Palos, which made this novel trip, is a sm ill gun boat, and formerly used four coal fires, and had a crew of twenty firemen and coal passers. With the petroleum apparatus she requires a crew of only three men, as the supply of fuel is easily regulatee, and cin ders or ashes are made. The petroleum is supplied from two-large iron tanks placed on deck, each taut: having a glass gauge at its side to indicate the height of the petro leum, and a vent pipe upon the top to permit the escape of vapour. From these tanks the petroleum is conddctod by half-inch pipes to the boiler furnace., It there drops into iron retorts,. heated by boilers placed beneath them, and is instiintly vapourised. This vapour, in burning, is mixed with steam, decomposed by passing through the pipes paitially filled with iroia filings, and with oxygen sup plied by atmospheric air, forced in by a common air pump. The heat thus generated is intense, and it is a noticeable fact the combustion is so perfect that no smoke is 'perceptible.. A diminution of the supply of air or steam at once creates a smoke. Her engine is about 850-horse , power. This initial voyage will be followed by several others , so as to completely test the invention. Should it bo found to be all that promises, undoubtedly it will create, a revolution in the manner of propelling steamers and locomotives, and such machines. The advantages of petroleum as fuel over coal are i_appa rent. For the trip yesterday about f our barrels of oil were used ; the captain of the boat declare s that sozo th i e or eight tons of coal would have be en consumed in same work. A large amount of coal w ould have b_ een n required to start the fires, and m uck would have bee wasted when the sail was comple ted, as the he.at w.as kept well up until the last moment. W a hen needed o no given out yesterday that the fireso or three throttle were longer, by simply turn in g. t valves the t imes were extingutshed, and in a few minute's time the fires wore down. Of course there were no ashes and no dirt, and tho fire-room was as clean as could be , and the neat carpet wit h which the floor was covered was n o t soiled in the least. Colonel Henry B. Foote, o f Tennessee, the inventor, superintended the work in the fire-room, which was ex ceedingly light and not disagreeable, and Engineers C. W. Pennington and Henry W. Scott had charge of the engine. The good results of the Compulsory Vaccination Act are strikingly exhibited in the return of deaths regis tered iu the Dublin district during the past quarter.
