MONEY IttARKET An COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. This being the 4th of the month there is a fair demand for discount accommodation, and the rates current in the general market range from about 21 to 28 per cent., according to the quality of the paper offered. The directors of the Bank of England at their weekly court made no alteration in their minimum rate, which still remains at 21 per cent. A small sum of gold, representing £3,000, was received at the bullion office of the Bank of England yesterday. The London Financial Association (Limited) has given notice that a meeting of shareholders will be held on the 22d inst., to receive the directors' report and accounts for the past half-year. At the forthcoming meeting of the London and Westminster Bank, on the 17th inst., a dividend 'will be recommended of 11 per cent. for the six months ending the 30th of June. The San Paulo (Brazilian) Railway Company have invited tenders for £220,000 of remaining de bentures, bearing 7 per cent. interest. They are redeemable at par in three years, are put forth at the price of 95, and constitute a first charge on the railway and the Government guarantee. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have declined *, to 30 32, but the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds remain steady at 24/ 25k. With regard to the bill presented to the Congress of Spain for the conversion of the Spanish Passive and other debts, the sth article relates to the settle ment of the Certificates, and authorises the Go vernment to effect the same on the conditions specified by the law of the 30th June, 1866 ; the stock to be issued for this purpose to bear interest from the Ist inst. The biddings for £270,000 in bills on India were made yesterday at the Bank of England. The amounts allotted were to Calcutta, £113,000 ; to Madras, £26,000 ; and to Bombay, £7,000. The minimum price was fixed, as before, at Is. 11d. on all the presidencies, and tenders at and above the minimum will receive in full. 'These results show a further diminution in the demand for means of remittance to the East. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : Great Western ... North Western South Western Brighton ...

On the Great Western there is an increase of .£1,101; on the North-Western, of £1,729 ; on the Brighton, of £3,213; on the Midland, of £4,601 ; on the South- Eastern, of £3,138 ; on the Great Northern, of £1,941 ; on the Lancashire and Torkshire, of £1,316 ; on the Bristol and Exeter, of £733 ; on the North-Eastern, •f £1,671 ; on the Great Eastern, of £2,074; on the North British, of £908; on the London, Chatham, and Dover, of £1,761; on the Metropolitan, of £451 ; on the Glasgow and South-Western, of £243 ; and on the Midland and Great Western of Ireland, £lOl ; while the South Western exhibits a decrease of £431, and the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, of £207. The following circular will be issued on Satur day next by the Metropolitan Bank (Limited) to the shareholders : " 75, Cornhill, London, E.C., July 6, 1867. "Dear Sir,—The articles of association having provided that the first ordinary general meeting be held in January, 1868, and at the same time that the directors be empowered to declare an interim dividend, if such bo warranted by the state of the accounts, the enclosed is a warrant for the same at the rate of £5 per cent per annum. "By order of the board, " THOMAS G. GILLESPIE, Secretary." Two O'CLOCK. A farther retrograde movement of 1 has placed Consols / per cent. lower than they were on Tues day afternoon, the latest prices being at 941 for money, and 941 for the account. The influence of the approaching settlement is evidently controlling the course of values, and the changes are frequent and important. The financial disclosures which are now of almost daily occurrence have disturbed confidence, but why the Funds should suffer it is difficult to conceive, as they are one of the most unquestionable securities at command.

A firmer tone has prevailed in the Railway Share Market owing to the favourable character of the traffic receipts, and prices generally show an up ward tendency. South Eastern have improved; ; Great Western and Midland each 1; Great Eastern and Lancashire and Yorkshire each ; Brighton and North Western each 1; and North-Eastern (Berwick) 2; while Great Northern have declined 1.

The telegram in The Sun of Tuesday announcing that 2,160 Belgians had fulfilled the conditions laid down by the Belgian Commission, and will come as visitors to London, has been confirmed by a com munication from M. Anspech, the Bourgrnestre of Brussels. The estimate previously formed of the probable number was 1,000. About £6,000 has been subscrib e d t o th e f unds of the Reception Com mittee. It need hardly be said that, under the altered state of affairs, much more money will be required. It had been supposed that the Seraph, one of the largest troopships afloat, would bo able to carry the whole of our visitors over in one jour ney; but as even she will only accommodate about 1,200 passengers, she must either make a second voyage to the Scheldt and carry the Belgians over in two parties, or some other arrangement will have to be come to for the transport of some 1,000 rifle men. Again, as Guildhall will not accommodate anything like 2,000 guests, it will be impossible that the whole of the Belgian riflemen can be present at the civic feast. We believe that on being informed that the number so greatly exceeded the list origin ally furnished to her, Miss Burdett Coutts at once signified her readiness to receive the whole of the Belgians visiting London. The Agricultural Hall, at Islington, the largest building of the kind in England, will accommodate all probable comers; and the Ball Committee, who met yesterday morn ing, have resolved to leave nothing undone on their part to insure the success of the grand ball. Their efforts are being directed to adopt such precautions with respect to the issue of tickets as will make the affair as select as any public entertainment of the kind can be. The Prince of Wales has signified his intention of being present, and the names of the ball committee are Lord Bury, the Duke of Man chester, Lord Loudesborough, Lord Frederick Paulet, Colonel the Hon. C. H. Lindsay, M.P-1 Colonel Loyd Lindsay, V.C., M.P. General Sir E. Cust, K.C.8., Sir Benjamin Phillips, MacLeod of MacLeod, General P. Seymour, C. 8., Colonel Gregory, Colonel Thompson, Colonel Warde, Mr. R. Graves, M.P., and Mr. F. Leighton, A.R.A. The committee expect that the ball will be the most magnificent monster fete ever held in this country. The Agricultural Hall is being entirely floored over, and the walls are to be painted in white and deco rated with gold. For a considerable height from the ground the whole will be lined with mirrors, and there will be numerous flower gardens, grottoes, and fountains. But the most splendid feature in the getting up will be the illuminations. The Messrs. Defries intend to make the occasion one for illustrating the various species of gala lighting prac tised in this and other countries for the last century —from the old Vauxhall variegated lamps to the marvellous lime light. Not only will every part of the building be lit up, but lights will be thrown on the dancers, the colours of the illumination vary ing with the change of figures. Such are the gene ral designs of the committee and their contractors. The accounts from Belgium represent that there is very great excitement there on the subjeet of the intended visit ; and so anxious are the noblemen and gentlemen composing the executive committee for the complete success of the reception that they meet daily to organise the details. ALARMING FIRE AT THE ALEXANDRA HOTEL (Tills DA-r).—At an early hour this (Thursday) morning the greatest alarm and confusion prevailed amongst the numerous residents of the Alexandra Hotel, Hyde Park Corner, owing to a fire breaking out in that immense establishment. Tho fire escapes from Knightsbridge_ green and Pimlico were soon on the spot, as well as a numberof laud steam and manual power engines by Shand, Mason, and Co. The London Salvage Corps, under Mr. Swanton, the chief officer, also attended very pr ompt l y, and plenty of water being obtained the firemen went to work, and with the aid of the small port a bl e engines the fire was confined to two rooms, but considerable damage was clone to the building and the costly contents. The origin of the fire is unknown. Another fire took place at Retherhithe-walk, but the damage done was not very serious. CRYSTAL PALACE.—Although the weather early this morning was rather showery, it seems likely to clear 1, 1) by evening, and the management has decided that the firework displa'y shall take place regardles4 of weather. The innumerable corridors and galleries within the Palace render it almost independent of weather. The display, has been designated " popular" from the fact of the charge for admission having been fixed at the popular one shilling. It will commence at half-past nine, and will conclude with an illumination of fountains. SIR MORTON PETO, BART., M.P., AND CO. Adjudication of bankruptcy was yesterday made against Sir Morton Pato, Bart., M.P., Edward Ladd Betts, and Thomas Russell Crampton, described as coLtractors, of Great George-street, Westminster. The adjudication was made on the petition of Mr. Warden, of the railway iron works, Edgbaston, near Birmingham—the act of bank ruptcy being a declaration of insolvency. The petition was presented by Mr. Denton, of the firm of Maynard, S on , an d Co., of Culeman-street, who are the solicitors under the proceedings. The bankruptcy will be prose cuted izt the mat 91 Ur. CQlDllli§siner Llolroyd. -'_'~- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 4, 1867. SHARE MARKETS.—This Day. ORDINARY SHARES ND STOKE. Railways.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. — This Day. BOW-STREET. CHARGE OF FRAUD AGAINNST A SOLICITOR.—AIbert Henry Elworthy, late of Southampton Buildings, the attorney who was convicted a few days since at the Old Bailey on the prosecution of Mr. Thos. Cannon, of Pater noster-row, appeared to a warrant granted on the 21st ult., charging him with committing frauds to a large amount upon Captain W. E. A. Wood, of Hill-house, Brading, Isle of Wight, and Burnley-road, Stockwell, late third officer of the Great Eastern. Mr. G. Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Starling for the defendant. A reward of £5O had been offered for the defendant's apprehension (ho being out on bail upon the former charge pending the decision in a point of law), and some amusement was created by the defendant's own father, who had previously announced his son's intention to surrender, now coming forward to claim the reward, saying " he had had much trouble in catching his son." The reward, however, had been withdrawn. Mr. Lewis slid the main charge was that just before Captain Wood went to pick up the Atlantic cable he had handed to Elworthy about £1,400 to buy some property in the Isle of Wight for him (Wood), but Elworthy had in fact fraudulently taken the conveyance in his own name and then mortgaged the deeds. Having been examined, the defendant was remanded for a week, Mr. Vaughan consenting to take bail, the defendant in £3OO, and two sureties of £l5O each. Bail not being forthcoming, the defendant was taken off in the van. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE MARQUIS TOWNSHEND AND THE BEGGARS.— Robert Thomson was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with causing and procuring Joseph Thomson, his son, aged seven, to beg, and the boy was also charged with begging. The Marquis Townshend said that yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock, he was in St. James's-street, and saw the prisoner go up to a carriage and importune a gentle man, and the younger prisoner received something from the gentleman. About eight weeks ago he had brought the elder prisoner to that court for begging, and he had known him to be in the practice of taking his son about with him for some months past for the purpose of begging. His reason for charging the son as well as the father was that, under the Industrial Schools Act, he might be taken away from the man and sent to school. The elder prisoner said he was going to Paddington to get some groundsel. He did not not stop in front of the carriage till the gentleman called him. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the man was begging with the child who ought not to be roaming about and marched out with hint for the purpose of begging. The child was, in fact, made the stalking horse for the man's begging. He should commit the man for three weeks, and the child would be sent to the workhouse and then to an industrial school. A SON CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING HIS MOTHER. — Henry Battchen, frame maker, of No. 72, Princess-street, Leicester-square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting his mother, Caroline Battchen. From the evidence of the complainant and a witness it appeared that some words occurred between the prisoner and his mother respecting an umbrella, and the prisoner, after smashing several articles belonging to his mother, set to ill-using her in a very cruel manner. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for three months with hard labour, and ordered him, at the end of his term of imprisonment, to find bail to keep the peace towards his mother for three months. THAMES. THE IRISHMAN IN LONDON.—AIice Nevett, aged 18, of the thieves' colony, Flower and Dean Streets, Spitalfields, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with robbing a raw young Irishman, named John Donovan, of his clothes and la. 6d. in money. _ _ Tho Irishman, who bas recently loft the Green Isle, was n yesterday the evening, and she made an impressione t by on soft Emeraldor, whom she r heart of beguiled with her soft talk, and induced him to enter some house of a questionable description near the Stepney Rail way Station. Ile laid down on the floor, and, overcome by fatigue and the whisky he had been drinking, he soon fell asleep. All his clothes were then on his person, and when ho awoke they were gone. Mr. Paget—What did you miss ? The prosecutor—My hat, coat, trousers, waistcoat, boots, stockings, scarf, and ls. Gd., all the money I had. I was naked barring my shirt, and she would have taken that too if she could. I roared out blue murder, and no ono came but the pollishman, and he couldn't find anything but moself, yer honour's wortship. Robert Paxton, a police-constable, No. 223 K, said he heard the prosecutor call out for assistance, and ascer tained that he had been stripped of his clothes. Ile was under the necessity of providing him with clothes to enable hira to walk to the station-house. The prisoner was a most impudent and notorious thief. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and Mr. Paget said the rol bery was a very cruel one, and sentenced her to four months' imprisonment and bard labour. WESTMINSTER. VIOLENT CONDtCT.—W. Ryan and his wife were charged with using abusive language in the Two Brewers tavern, Stratton-ground, and breaking a square of glass valued at _ _ . Mr. Roberts said the male prisoner came into his house and called for a pint of beer, and shortly afterwards his wife came in and a quarrel ensued. They both used very bad language. Witness went and turned the male prisoner out, when he used a stick he had with him and smashed a pane of ornamental plate glass of the value of .£7. He sent for a policeman, and the defendants wore given in charge. The man said that he did not intend to have broken the glass, as the blow was meant for the pro secutor's head. The magistrate said if the prosecutor redueed the value of the glass to £5 ho could adjudicate, if not the prisoners must go for trial. The prosecutor said that as the glass was insured he would put the value at £5. The male prison e r wa s sentenced to pay .£2 or one month's hard labour, and the woman 10s. or one month's imprisonment. MARKETS.--TlLis day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

In answer to a question from Lord ZIarBERLEY, relative to any official intelligence as to the fate of Maximilian, The Earl of MALMESBURY stated that, as far as her Majesty's Government were concerned, no official informa tion on the subject had yet been received, and the only confirmation had been by the telegrams in the second edi tion of the Times. MORRO VELHO MARRIAGE BILL. This bill was road a second time. LAND TAX COMMISSIONERS' NAMES BILL. This bill Ives committed. THE GALWAY HARBOUR (COMPENSATION OF DEBTS) BILL. The Earl of DEVON moved that the order of the 3d May last, with respect to this bill, be dispensed with. The order was then dispensed with. THE 13rACKWALL BRIDGE BILL.

The report as to this bill was received, and the bill, as amended, was read a third time and passed. BRITISH WHITE HERRING FISHERY BILL. This as emended by the Commons was passed. THE LUXEMBOURG QUESTION. Lord HOUGHTON asked the noble lord at the head of her Majesty's Government as to the construction which they placed on the words " collective guarantee', in the Luxembourg treaty. He wished to know what practical effect that guarantee had. It was stated e the e o ther day, he thought, that b y this guarante ti the signatories to that treaty agreed and provided that if anything of a tyrannous nature was done to wards Luxembourg that the signatories should declare that all the conditions of the treaty were at null and void. It was not Greece or Belgium or Sweden, or any of those Powers that these signatories guarded against, but Prussia or France, who wish to take Luxem burg from Ilolland. If the aggressor to the conhad ditions of this treaty was a signatory, h the greater to answer for. There were political agitation going on in the countries of France and Prussia, and this point was one of vital importance. The Earl of DERBY sai d that he was prepared to give the explanation again that he had already given, and which did not seem to satisfy tho noble lord, but w h a t ever c onstruction.ho might put, or th, Government and house might put, upon the words, he was sure that all viewed them with the utmost fairness. He was not much of a diplomatist, but he would impress upon them that the guaranteo was collective, and there fore notking could be done by ono power with out the consent of the whole. would call their losdships' attention to the terms of the guarantee. Prussia laid down they should have a full and free g uarantee. His noble relative in the other house, in drawiug up the treaty, had not inserted the word guarantee, but had declared only the neutrality of the rowers, but to this Prussia demurred, and asked for a collective guarantee, which was accord ingly complied with. He would wish the noble lord to declare his view of what a collective guarantee was. He thought that if the noble lord thought that all the Powers were bound to enforce the conditions of the guarantee. If this had been the case they could hardly have expected Prussia to have asked for such a guarantee. In 1831 Oleic.) was a separate guarantee given in the case of Belgium. I LEFT MAKIN°. I HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. INCREASE OF THE EPISCOPATE. Mr. GILPIN gave notice that, on the motion for the second reading of the bill for the increase of the episco pate, he should move that the kill bo read a second time that day six months. THE ADMIRALTY. Mr. SEELY asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if his opinions coincided with those expressed by the late First Lord on the 19th February last, when he said " that the aJministration of a great department by a board is a clumsy machinery," and " that the constitution of the Board of Admiralty is inconvenient and not profitable to the public service ;" and, if .he does agree in opinion with the late First Lord, whether he intends consulting his colleagues as to how far in their judgment a change may be desirable. • Mr. CORRY said his experience as First Lord had been but short; he was not yet sensible of any inconvenience from the present arrangements, and as any alteration ought to be approached with great caution, he was at pre sent indisposed to recommend any alteration of the system at present in existence to his colleagues. THE SLAVE TRADE. Sir • F. BUXTON asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if his attention had been drawn to red a port of an interview betwee n t he Vicero y of Egypt au deputation of the British and Foreign Auti-slavery Society in Paris, at -which the_. Viceroy stated -that, ." if he were froo to act against European slave-traders, the Nlaye trade would §O9ll disappear" from the Nile; and if - - - he is prepared to give the requisite authority to overhaul and detain slave-traders hoisting the British flag ? Lord STANLEY said his attention had only been drawn to the subject by the notice the hon. member had put on the paper. He believed that the difficulty of dealing with the slave trade on the African side arose more from the connivance of some of the inferior local authorities than any other circumstance. With respect to the second part of the question, he thought it ought to be approached with the greatest care. Of course, there was no wish on the part of this country to protect the slave trade, but before , such an authority to overhaul and detail ships, .hoisting the British flag, was given; it would be right to asctrtain that there were not certain treaties the infringement of • which might involve us in much difficulty. OVERCROWDING OF STEAM PERRY BOATS. In reply to Mr WALDEGRAVE-LESLIE, Mr. CAVE said *the law was sufficient to prevent such occurrences, as a penalty of £2O, :out :is. fur each pas &Alger carried over Cie legalised number. The only.in convenience was that the party zomplaining of the over crowding must be the parties to institute prouemlings. INDIA PR LE MONEY. Mr. T. CHAMBERS asked the Secretary of State for War when the Central India prin-money would be distributed, and what has been the cause of the long delay of nine year ? Sir J. PACKINGTON sa'd tho delay in paying thu money had arisen through -litigation, but that was now fortunately at an cud, and therefore the prize-money would be paid without any further delay. THE FATE OF TILE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN, Mr. SANDFORD asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any information had been received upon the subject of tho alleged execution of the Emperor Maximilian by Juarez ; and if there has, what course the Government proposes to tako in order to mark their abhorence of so great a crime. Lord STANLEY said he had not yet received any offi cial communication intimating the death of the ox- Emperor Maximilian, but the opportunities wore but few, owing to the disturbed state of the country in got ting direct communication. The death of the Emperor was believed in Paris ard Vienna, and although he might fear the worst, yet, as-he had already said, he had not received any official communication announcing the fact. If such was unfortunately the case, it was a very deplorable and impolitic act—(hear, hear)—and not the less so because acts of the same kind had taken place on both sides. He thought they ought to wait for certain intelligence before they spoke positively on the subject. Even then, should it tarn out that the ex-Emperor had been put to death, he did not see what special notice of the act could be taken by this country. (Hear, hear.) Sir LAWRANCE PALK said there could be no doubt about tho fate'of the Emperor Maximilian, and he did not know an act more disgraceful in the annals of Christianity, (Hear, hear.) The Emperor did not go to Mexico as a tyrant, but to heal the disturbances that unfortunately existed there. He failed in his undertaking—(hear., hoar)—and the result had been most deplorable. In the event of no other member doing so, he should on the reception of the official intelligence submit a resolution to the house embodying the feeling of indignation at an act of such atrocity. (Hear, bear.) THE NAVAL REVIEW. Colonel FRENCH asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what arrangements had been made to enable the nioniKars of both Houses of Parliament to witness the naval review. Mr. CORRY said the Admiralty had engaged two of the steamships of the Peninsular and Oriental Company for the accommodation of the members of both Houses of Par liament. Four hundred tickets not transferable would be issued by the Admiralty to the House of Lords and 450 to the members of the House of Commons. Special trains would be arranged for conveying the members to Ports mouth, but they would have to pay their own railway fares. (Hear, hear, and loud laughter.) THE FENIANS. Mr. F. DICK asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether there was any truth in the report which. had appeared in some of the London and Dublin papers of a number of Fenians having been detected by the police whilst drilling last week in the neighbourhood of Wick low ; and, in that case, how far the drilling in question has been carried out ? Lord NAAS said that three or four of the police had certainly discovered some parties drilling, and two persons had been arrested, the rest, about twenty, running away. The only military words heard by the police were "Right about face ; quick march." (Loud laughter.) THE REVIEW IN HYDE PARK. Captain VIVIAN said he wished to ask the Secretary of State for War whether it was the intention to hold thd Review in Hyde Park to-morrow. Sir J. PACKINGTON said the house had already been informed by his noble friend the Secretary for Foreign Affairs that no official intelligence had been re ceived from Mexico. No command had yet been issued from any quarter to countermand the review. (Hear hear.) • Viscount CRANBORNE asked whether it was intended to have a mcrnin sitting of the house to-morrow. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said ho did not propose asking the house to meet early to-morrow. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE—THE FOUR BOROUGHS NOT TO BE ENFRANCHISED. On the motion for going into committee, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it was of the greatest importance that the bill should be completed as speedily as possible, in order that the other house might have proper time allowed it for the consideration of the measure--(hear, hear) —as he gathered that tho house was generally in favour of the distribution of members as proposed by the Government ; and after the house had bottled the clause proposed by the hon. memb3r for Oldham, he proposed that they should at once proceed to consider the schedules of the bill. (lear.) The determination of the house to give an additional member to four of the Llrge constituencies, it had been necessary to reconsider the original proposal of the Government with respect to the boroughs to be enfranchised, and the places they now proposed to omit, to provide those four memberp, were St. Helen's, Keighley, Luton, and Barnsley. (Oh, oh, and hear, hear.) Mr. BRIGHT generally approved of the determination of the Government. Mr. GLADSTONE said ho could not agree to the pro posal of the Government to go at once to the consideration of the schedules. Ho had a proposal to divide South Lancashire into two divisions. returning throe members each, and if he assented to the Government proposal ho should be precluded from bringing that matter before the house. Mr. LOWE said the Government was entirely to blame for all the delay, as they had bungled the question of Reform from the very beginning. They commenced by way of resolution, and from that time they had gone on in the most roundabout way. (Rear, hear.) He certainly should not abandon his proposal for the cumulative vote till ho had taken tke vote of the louse. (Hear, hear.) Mr. LAING said, on account of the advanced period of the session, he would postpone his proposal for grouping. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BOUVERIE said it appeared to him that the only object of thus persisting in pressing these proposals in Committee was delay and ultimate loss of the measure. (Hear, hear, and no, no.) He thought tho Government . proposed a reasonable ono. POSTPONEMENT OF THE REVIEW. At this point in the debate, The Chancellor of the Exchequer rose, and, amidst the utmost silence, said a communication had a short time ago been made to the house with respect to the Review. Since that time, however, official i n f o rmation had been received which would prevent her Majesty attending, in company with the mem bers of the Houses of Lords and Commons. Under these circumstances the review, fixed for to-morrow, would be postponed, but on l y for a few days, when her Majesty hoped to be able to attend that review, in company with her faithful Commons.
