RONEY MARKET A ND 00111MERCIAL iNTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Owing to the arrangements for the 4th inst., when a considerable quantity of mercantile paper rill have to be returned, the Money Market is a ittle less inactive, but the increase of business thus ►ccasioned is after all too small to create animation n discount circles, or to influence the quotations, vhich are as easy as ever, 14 per cent. being the ninimurn in general circles. A further influx of gold, to the amount of Z 70,000, took place at the Bank of England yes ;erday. The return from the Bank of England for the reek ending the 31st July gives the following re mits when compared with the previous week : aest £3,361,571 ...

The Bank of France returns for the past week give the following changes when compared with the previous returns :—The notes have increased £ 1 1 0 66,640, the cash in hand £272,000, and bills discounted £266,640 ; while the private accounts show a diminution of £13,320, the Treasury balance £ 3 2,000, and the advances £B,OO. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 26 28 ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 22 23. In the Mincing-lane Markets during the last few days there has been a moderate demand for most of the principal staples. Sugar has been at steady rates, while the public sales of coffee have pro ceeded with rather more animation at full values. Operations in tea have been postponed until the public sales of China, which commence on Tuesday next, while in rice and tallow no material altera tion can be reported in values. Notice has been given by the Natal Land and Colonisation Company that a meeting will be held on the 16th inst., for the purpose of presenting a report and statement of accounts to the 31st December last, and also for the purpose of autho rising the directors to borrow money on debentures of the company to the extent of £250,000, at 90 per cent., redeemable at par in 30 years at 6 per Cont. per annum. At the meeting held to-day of the Prov incial Banking Corporation the accounts and balance- Sheet to the 30th June were presented, showing a net balance of £9,079, from which the directors re commended a dividend at the rate of 7} per cent.

There is a further contraction of business at the Stock E xchange, and the bi-mont hl y se ttl emen t i n Foreign bonds and shares of all denominations havin g been concluded, members, as far as prac ticable, are hurrying away for their holidays. Con sidexing the limited number of bargians entered into values are much better sustained than might have been expected. Consols, notwithstanding the intense dullness, are very steady at 94 for transfer and for the account, Bth inst., and 941 for the September liquidation.

Men with wives already are to sleep and spend their days in the nursery. As an instance of the advantage patriarchs taking girlish wives, he re atcs the story of a certain ancient man, with snow white hair and beard, who married at the advanced age of eighty. After a while the old man fell ill, all his hair and skin came off. On his recovery, he had a fresh transparent complexion, and a magnificent bushy head and chin of vivid red hair. "What ever y ou do!' earnestly entreats the doctor, "never marry an old woman ; she will absorb all the vital principal from y o ur lungs, and poison you with her exhalations. Alas, for him, who, in hopes of gaining money, marries a rich old spinster. She becomes youthful, and he prematurely aged. For old women," he continues, "are like cats, whose breath is poionous in life. —Chico a Week, hare 261 } 11 i 27 f '491 81 9 81 91 HI Lein 41(110 191 i 201 20 111 } 14 1 29} i 1001 1 100 all 100 100 100 1633.4 100 100 100 all THE SUN, LONDON, FIAIDAV EVVANINa, AUGUST 2, I.,Wi POLICE INTELLIGEACE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE TIATMAUKET BASKET WOMEN AND THE POLICE. — Six women, named Catherine Regan, Elizabeth Maria Sayers, Elizabeth Miller, Elizabeth Jones, Mary M'Carthy, and Catherine Ryan, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with obstructing the pathway with baskets containing fruit and flowers. Police-constable Laurence Poole, 301 A, said that shortly before one o'clock that morning he saw tho prisoners be tween the Haymarket and the Regent-circus, Piccadilly, with large baskets containing flowers and fruit. The baskets, which were on the footway, caused such an ob struction that persons had to walk into the road to pass along. Ho had cautioned the prisoners several times be fore, and finding that of no use, ho took them into custody. Inspector Harrison said that the place was ro infested with basket women Ot t night that personsfound difficulty in passing along the place. The constable stated that Ryan, Jones, and M'Carthy had been fined before for a similar offence—Ryan and Jones ss. each, and M'Carthy 2s. 6d. Ryan was very drunk, aul he had great trouble iu getting her to the station. Jones said she had a child suffering from disease of the lungs; some of the other prisoners—for two or three spoke at a time—said they had children to keep, while others said they were not causing any obstruction. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was impossible to overlook the matter. lie would fine them 2s. 6d. each, and if they came before him again they would be fined 40s. each. WILFUL DAMAGE THROUGH REVENGE.—JuIia Fletcher, a young woman, was charged with breaking a window at the house of Mr. Cook, Great Windmill-street, con fectioner and refreshment-house keeper. The prisoner went to Mr. Cook's yesterday, and said that ss Mr. Cook had locked up her friend for breaking his window he should go to the court again, and she then broke a pane of glass of the value of 125., and was banded over to Harris, 77 C. . Mr. '.oyrwhitt ordered her to pay the damage and a fine of 55., or 14 days. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOD RACES—THURSDA Y. It is generally conceded that the Cup Day at Goodwood attracts the most brilliant company of the whole week, and to-day was no exception, the attendance, independently of being the largest of the three days, being decidedly the most select and aristocratic. The Prince of Wales and Prince de Teck were again present, as were also the whole of the distinguished party staying at Goodwood House, the residence of the Duke of Richmond. The race of the day was of course for the Cup, but it will be observed that that valuable prize was contested for by the limited field of five runners. Soon after assembling on the course it trans pired that the pen had been put through the name of D'Estournel, and that Lecturer, the stable com panion of Vauban, would bo au absentee. Consequent upon these announcements the rac was looked upon in the light of a " moral" for the Duke of 13,aufort's cult, and general satisfaction was evinced when it became likey that the two great events of the meeting would fall to the noble Master of the IDrse, the Duke-of I.L‘aufort, who had already won the G Jed wood Stakes with Gomera. Vauban, it is hardly necessary to say, won the Two Thousand, and' after being a good favourite, ran third for the Derby. The partisans of the Danebury stable have always maintained that staying was the special forte of Vauban, and they were greatly disappointed that ho did not win the Derby, contending that ho could not have lost had there been a good pace for him, Uncas entirely failing to fulfil his mission to make the pace sufficiently strong to be of ser vice to the son of Muscovite. The Cup was set for decision at the comparatively early hour of two o'clock, and the appearance of the competitors, who were all saddled prior to that time, created great interest. When the flag full, Fordham rushed to the front with Miss Havelock to " take them along," and, owing to the zeal of the jockey, the Northamptonshire Stake victress was at one point of the race leading nearly a hundred yards. Her stable companion was always at the head of the others, and took up the running immediately she was in difficul ties. Daley called upon Regalia at the entrance into tho straight, but she died away after making a momentary effort, and Tyndale was left to do battle with Vauban. Cameron rods with great determination, but Parry exer cised great patience, and the favourite won in almost a park canter. Regalia was a bad third, and the issue proves, wh t has long been suspected, that the mare cannot stay. It. Sweepstakes of 200 sovs each, for two year olds; colts Bst 101 b ; 31b and 31b allowed.

Vauban, of.course, received the lion's share of attention ; but Regalia, by her free style of going and magnificent condition, gave renewed confidence to her friends. After parading in front of the stand Mr. M'George conducted the five competitors to the starting-post, and at once relieved the suspense of the spectators by giving the word to go. Fordham obeying his mission im, licitly, to force the pace for the favourite, sent Miss Havelock to the front, but although she held a long lead she could go no pace, notwithstanding resolute riding. Vauban lay next, about three-quarters of a length in advance of Tynedale, clear of whom came Lord Glasgow's colt, Regalia bringing up the rear. Beyond the fact that Miss Havelock increased her lead to nearly 100 yards as they approached the Clump turn," and that the pace was wretchedly bad, no variation occurred until they appeared in sight from be hind the hill, when the Toxopholite colt was observed to be in the rear of Regalia. The front rank had also undergone some change, Vauban now being in close attendance on Miss Havelock, and as they ascended the hill he took up the running, closely attended, however, by his stable companion, who gave way as they came into the straight, dropping a long way to the rear of everything. Daley now called upon Regalia, but, after a vain effort, in which she just succeeded iu getting to Tynedele's quarters, she died away to nothing, and the northern horse was alone left to do battle with the formidable Vauban. Most de terminedly did Cameron ride to overhaul the favourite, but all his efforts were in vain, as Parry had but to sit and hold the Two Thousand winner, who won in a canter by three parts of a length. Regalia, completely pumped out, was a bad third, Lord Glasgow's colt and Miss Havelock being beaten off. The time, as taken by Benson's chronograph, was as follows: —Start, 2h. 6m. 30s. ; arrival, 211.11 m. 50s. Duration of race, sm. 20s.

DROWNED BY A POLYPUS.—The Genoese Gazette says :—" A few days back a person bathing between Cur polypus, and the creature so interlaced its numero us nigliano and Sest ri, in the Gulf of Genoa, was seized by a large t acles round him, that he was unable, in spite of all his efforts, to free himself, and was dragged under water and drowned. None of tlio other bathers ventured to go to his ItEigatance." ALPINE ACCIDENTS. " Who repeats in tones of sorrow the names of friend or relative that has perished among the soli tudes of the lligher Alps? The Junfrau's spotless snow, the crested summit of the Wetterhorn, Monte Rasa's craggy peaks, are all guiltless of the travel ler's blood. These and many other lofty pinnacles of Switzerland have welcomed the adventurous mountaineer, and death or severe accident is un known." Thus hardly more than ten years ago wrote a true-hearted gentleman, a skilled an I dauntless cragsman, whose early fate, and not his only, stand.' out the saddest emphasis of contrast to his words. The Matterhorn catastrophe, in which he perished with his lamented companions, is far from stand ing alone on the black list which has accumulated since those words were penned. At that time six and-thirty years had softened dawn the recollection of the fatal accident to Ilamel's party on Mont Blanc, and six-and-twenty that of the loss of two Englishmen near the (Jul du Bonhomme in a tour mente. But only some three years more had passed when a series of fatal seasons commenced with the loss of Archdeacon llardwick in descending from the Pic de Sauvegarde, near the Porte de Venasque in the Pyrenees, and of M. Grotte on the Findelen Glacier near . Zermatt. These accidents occurred in 1859. In the year following we were again saddened by the fatal accident in descend ing from the Col du Geant to Courmayeur, in which three young Englishmen and a guide perished; and before the last notes of that mournful in telligence had quite died away we hai to mourn the loss of Mr. Watson in a crevasse on the Winacher Ferner in the Tyrol. The marvellOus escape of Mr. Birkbeck, jun., on the northern glacier of Miage in 1861, after a slide from the Col to a point a full third of a mile vertically lower, is well known. In the same year a French lady, descending the Gemmi on a mule, was thrown over the edge of the precipice and killed. Mr. Long man, juu, also _ had a narrow escape in 1862 on the Aletsch Glacier, where be fell into a deep crevasse. The same year Bennen and his friend Professor Tyndall, aided by Sir John Lubbock, rescued a Porter from a crevasse in the Aletsch Glacier, in which he had been wedged for more than an hour, entirely covered up by the snow and icicles which he had carried with him in his fall. Then followed a year of respite from fatal acci dent. But on the 28th February, 1864, a traveller, with the famous guide Bennen and a porter, perished on the Haut de Cry near Sion, in an ava lanche, three of the party escaping. The same year a porter was lost in a crevasse on Mont Blanc, and Professor Tyndall and two friends, with the guides Jenni and Walther, had a narrow escape from worse than bruises on the Morteratsch Glacier. A still more terrible record belongs to the two fol lowing seasons. In the first, the death of Mrs. Arbuthnot by lightning on the Schilthorn was fol lowed by the catastrophe on the Matterhorn, and that almost immediately by the loss of Mr. Kny vett Wilson on the Riffelhorn, while the lapse of another ten days saw a third fatal accident on Monte Rosa by an avalanche, from which, however, all the party escaped except one of the porters. These three fatal occurrences took place within a fortnight on ground which might be swept by a radius of less than five miles. But still three more deaths were due to that year. In the fol lowing month Herr Ilupner, of Dresden, perished with his guide on the Titlis ; and a student of Erlangen found a grave in a crevasse, descend ing the Gross Venediger Spitz. Last year was hardly less fatal. Besides the two accidents on Mont Blanc, which resulted in the loss of five lives, three ladies, with the carriage and horse which conveyed them, were precipitated into the Tamina between Ragatz and Pfeffers, and there was at least one other loss of life on the borders of the Lake Lucerne. This is a fearful array of casualties for only eight seasons, nor can it be regarded as absolutely complete. But if we set it down that about 22 travellers and 11 guides or porters have perished in Alpine expeditions in the ast eight years we shall not be far from the truth. Quarterly Review, new number. WES TMINS TER. IIII.IPUDENT ROBBERY BY k SERVANT.—WiIIiam Chant potman to Mrs. Craddock, proprietor of the Gloucester Arms, Rochester-row, Westminster, was placed at the bar charged with robbing his employer of £5. Mrs. Craddock said she gave him five sovereigns last Saturday to get silver for, and he was never seen any more of till last night. Mr. Selfe asked how long he had been in the service ? Mrs. Craddack said he had only been with them a week. Police-constable 119 B said he apprehended the prisoner last night in Castle-lane. He said when taken into custody that he knew what it was for, he had got change and spent all the money. Prisoner's mother produced a letter she had received from her son, which she thought would operate in his favour, and also pretended that she had given the information which had led to his capture. The letter stated that he had spent all the money, bad no food for three days, and was her contrite son. Mr. Selfo asked whether he was known. Mr. Craddock said he had lately found that he had been discharged by a former master for dishonesty, and his mother was also aware of that fact. Prisoner was committed for trial. MARKETS.--This day. MARE LANE. There was a very poor show of English wheat here to day. Tho attendance of both town and country millers being limited, the demand for all kinds ruled inactive; nevertheless, Monday's prices were supported. The imports of foreign wheat are over 40,000 quarters. The show of samples was tolerably good, and sales pro gressed slowly, at late rates. Floating cargoes of grain were rather heavy. There was no English barley on sale, and the supply of foreign was very moderate. All descriptions supported late rates, with a fair inquiry. We were fairly supplied with malt, which changed hands slowly, on former terms. The oat trade, owing to excessive importations, was very inactive, at barely stationary prices. Beans sold on full terms, although the inquiry for them was by no means active. Peas and flour were held at , extreme rates. Supplies were moderate. MR ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

The likeness is most accurate, and is a correct representation of his Imperial Majesty, the head itself being a perfect masterpiece cf the art of modelling; the features, too, are lifelike, and any one on entering the magnificent gallery, in Baker-street, would at once imagine he was in the presence of the Em peror hitf3elf, BESIEGING A THEATRE. On Tuesday morning, as some of the Hudders field policemen were taking the prisoners from the lock-up to the Court House, two bailiffs who were ,in possession at the theatre came to look at the pri soners. Instantly the resident manager closed the door and locked it inside, and without any loss of time he made all the windows and inlets secure, and _ _ then went to one of the windows and laughingly surveyed the discomfited bailiffs. A considerable crowd collected, and highly enjoyed the unexpected lock out "of the sheriff's officers. Never did men appear more anxious than they for the ter mination of a lock out, and around the building they wandered, seeking for some unfastened door or window. They appeared to be under the im pression that it would be necessary to besiege the theatre, and some talked of smashing in the doors. To confirm the idea that they had the place in a state of siege, the resident manager appeared at one of the windows with a belt round him, in which he bad stuck a theatrical battle axe, whilst he carried in his hand a spear. Then he placed in the window a paper, upon which was written, " Notice—Man traps not on these premises," with a line through the " not," and also a small placard inscribed in playbill style, " In preparation, a new piece, entitled, done my duty, you do yours.' " This proceeding caused much mirth amongst the spectators, and cor responding irritation amongst the bailiffs, who had been strongly reinforced. Their chagrin and dis composure wss not at all lessened when another placard was put in the window which ran thus : " Theatre Royal, Tuesday, July 30, 1868, All's fair in love and war,' an interlude of Locked-out,' . to conclude with the farce of the ' The biter b Principal characters, the sheriff's officers and the resident manager." Hours after that the bailiffs were walking round the building, not in the best of tempers, while the resident manager kept all fast, occasionally looking through a window as though meditating a sortie for provisions. About 6 o'clock one of the bailiffs went down the coal cellar, and after groping about in the dark some time came upon the trap door underneath the stage, got through it, and so once more became a man in possethion.—Leeds Mercury.

PRIVATE BUSINESS. The West Cork Railwey (Amendment) Bill was read a third time. TIIE PROSECUTION OF THE LATE GOVERNOR The Earl of SHREWSBEUYRRYE.postponed his motion re ative to the late Governor Eyre and the course of the Attorney-General REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE On the resumption of the a d j ourned debatein of the Re pre seutation of the People Bill, committee BILL. The Marquis of SALISBURY moved that a clause be inserted after clause 27, having for its object to allow all persons duly registered as voters for any coun ty or borough in lieu of attending in p irsoa to vote by p ipers under proper regulations. He said that he conceived this to be a ma tter of the utmost im p ortance, and it was a ques tion agitated in the y ear 1859. It was a course which ho considered would be highly beneficial to the general body of voters. This mode of election was re garded favourably, he honeyed, by the majorities in most constituencies. He would refer to the very small number o f voters in t he metro p olitan boroughs, an this small number was to be attributed to tho fa that the of a largo number of t h em would ct not allow occ upations t h em to vote pers onall y , and ho could further point ou t to their lordshi p s that only ono-half, or at least one-third voted at the last genera l election. Ile would enumerate to them a.few o f the large actuallyr coustit uencies, their number of voters, and those who registered their votes. In Liverpool he found that the num ber of voters was 20,600, and that. only 'London 60 re corded their votes ; that in the City of there were 15,500 voters, and only 10,900 voted; in blenchester 21,000 and 14,900 voted ; in Maryle bone 23,500, and only 11,000 voted ; in Lambeth, which wa s the last he should mention, ` they would 7,000, and only 11,700 voted. With those figures see bow essential an element it was on should be made to enable voters to record their votes otherwise than personally. Ho (the noble marquis) was not advocating that there should be an indiscriminate power given to per sone to present voting papers, but that under proper and or ganised regulations, they might be allowed to do s o so. Of course it was necessar y to guard against any specief bribery cre eping in, and te proer precautions must the be, taken. The no ble marquis concluded amendment. After a few remarks from Lord Russell and Earl Granville, Lord DERBY said that ho was glad that this question had been brought before the house. As far as these them vo ti ng papers were concerned, ho gave to hi s unqualified adhesion. (Hear, bear.) lie con sidered that it would be the means of avo iding much corru p tion that now e. In 1859 the Government then in office, of which he had the honour to be the head, had proposed such a course and the present Government had wished to intnut by ro e duce the same system in this bill. At the recent lec tion at the University of Oxford carried o a system of voting papers double wore polled than on any other occasion, nor did he hear that any inconve nience bad arisen i n consequence. It tumult m ust do away w i t h a g reat deal of bribery, and ill-feoling, which now prevailed. lie (the noble earl) had not had the opportunity of comparing the schema of the noble marquis, nor did ho think he was prepared at once to accept all he had brought before them. lie should not be sorry that the House of Commons should have the op portunity of reconsidering this question, and introducing it i n to the bill. disc ro ved of th e bill, Lord DE GREY pp and. did not hunk that it w as even advantag eou s in the u niversities.

The house went into committee on this bill, and an amendment was agreed to, to the effect that the Commis sioners of her Majesty's Treasury should have power from time to time to prepare amended tables of fees. The house then rosamed, and the bill was read a third time and passed. INLAND REVENUE BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. DOMINICA LOAN BILL. This bill was likewise road a third time and passed. The Local Government Supplemental (No. 6) Bill, the Prorogation of Parliament Bill, and the Naval Stores (No. 2) Bill were also read a third time and passed. ARTISANS AND LABOURERS' DWELLINGS BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, Uri DAZIALY moved, "That iu tb.o opinion of this house it is not expedient that the provisions in this bill, by which it is proposed to impose upon the local authority the obligation, if and when required by the owners, to pur chase condemned properties at prices to be ascertained under the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, should receive the assent of this house." Seeing the late period of the session he recommended that the bill should either be with drawn or amended in such a manner as would make it acceptable. He regarded it as totally impracticable that municipalities should become agents of property, and, fact, engage themselves in matters with witch they h nothing to do. Mr. POWELL deprecated the introduction of abstract resolutions with the view of obstructing the passing of bilis. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE thought the amendment was a very effectual way of patting a stop to the bill, audit would therefore receive his support. Mr. HARDY remarked that the bill would load to great difficulties, and perhaps be the uu•aas of reducing mu►uci palitics to a state of insolvency. He did not see why this should not be taken into consideration. Mr. WIIALLEY supported the amendment. Mr. LOCKE urged that it was as much the duty of ma nicipalit ies to buy up pestilent houses as to make sewers. Mr. CANDLISH was strongly in favour of the bill. Mr. TORRENS said the amendment was proposed vir tually to defeat the bill. The Corporation of Manchester had always been opposed to schemes of the present nature, but as the Government did not oppose the bill, ho should do all in his power to press it forward. - After some further discussion the amendment was with-, drawn and the house went into committee on the bill. The consideration of the various clauses occupied the house up to the time allowed by the standing orders. PUBLIC HEALTH (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill passed through committee. The sitting of the house was then suspended. LONDON GAZETTE.-THIS EVENING. FOREIGN OFFICE, July 25, 1867.
