MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. To-day the Discount Market has opened with a ♦ery quiet appearance, the rates continuing easy, while the inquiries are much below the average. There were no gold operations at the Bank of England on Saturday. The Oneida, from the Brazils, has arrived at Southampton with specie to the amount of £19,000. The steamers leaving New York on the 3d inst. will bring about £200,000. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 26 28 ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 22 23. From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week have, in some instances, been more satisfactory. Business at Manchester, however, has remained very quiet, and prices generally have tended downwards in the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield. There has been rather more inquiry for winter fabrics, at steady rates,while in .the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham most departments of business have exhibited more activity. In the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been a fair demand for most descriptions of superior steel goods, but less activity has prevailed in the demand for railway iron. The directors of the St. John d'el Rey Mining Company (Limited), have received per Oneida the following report, dated Morro Yelho, June 29, 1867 :—Produce, second division of Juno, ten days, 1 5,868 oitavas; yield, 7,745 oitavas per ton. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 69f. 150. Very little fear is entertained with regard to the contemplated Reform meeting in Hyde Park this evening, and, as in all other respects, home and foreign politics are indicative of tranquillity and prosperity the British Funds are very firm and generally buoyant. Now and then a few heavy sales will have the effect of checking a rise and of imparting heaviness to the different markets, but the movements after all are merely fractional ; the abundance of money, the influx of gold and silver, harvest prospects, and the symptoms percep tible in many quarters of expanding trade, each more or less imparting strength to the quota tions of the various denominations of stocks and shares. Consols remain steady at 94} for money and the Bth ins., and at 94i for the September settlement. The New Threes are 94 93.1 94 ; Reduced Annui ties, 931 94 ; Annuities, April, 1885, 13 1-16; India Stock, 220 222 ; ditto 5 per Cents., 112} 111 i ; ditto Enfaced 4 per Cents., 102} ; ditto 4 per Cent. Debentures, 1021 ; ditto 5 per Cents., 10 4 ; ditto £l,OOO Bonds, 70,1. pm. ; ditto under £ l ,OOO, 68s. pm. In the Foreign Stock Market increased firmness bas prevailed. Italian 5 per cents. have improved to 48} 41 ; Mexican Stock, to 15i ; Spanish Passive, 1, to 211 211 ; Greek Bonds, to 131 14 1 ; and Turkish 5 per cents., 1, to 301 1. Spanish Certificates, however, have declined to 16 16 1. In the Railway Share Market there has been fair amount of business entered into, and prices are a shade higher. Great Eastern, Great Western, Metropolitan, and South Eastern have each improved 1, and Great Northern and Brighton ea c h , The foreign and colonial lines remain without change of importance. Dutch Rhenish are marked 19 i 20 ; East Indian, 1071; and Great Indian Peninsula, 1074 108. Bank shares are very dull, and show no change of Importance. Miscellaneous and Finance shares are very inac tive. Atlantic Telegraph 8 per Cents. have declined t o 72k ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam improved to 19 ; and Viceroy of Egypt's Mortgate Loan re illained at 68. MINING MARKET. MONDAY AFTERNOON. .

The country markets hold on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat, which moved off heavily, at barely stationary prices. All kinds of spring corn changed hands steadily at full currencies; but flour was very inactive. A few parcels of now wheat, in soft condition, were on sale ab Reading market. The Continental markets continuo steady for nearly all kinds of produce. In America, however, prices have suf fered a heavy decline. The imports of foreign and colonial produce into Lon don last week were-39,636 quarters of wheat, 4,926 barley, 120,057 oats, 1,300 beans, 3,477 peas, 5,666 linseed, 13,777 rapeseed, 100 maize, 45 sundry, and 1,232 sacks of flour. We had a very limited supply of English wheat on sale here to-day. Owing to the favourable state of the wen' her for harvest work, the demand for both rod and white qualities ruled heavy, at almost nominal quotations. In sonic few instances, however, prices wore a shade lower than on Monday last. Fine foreign wheats were most held at full prices, but all inferior kinds were lower to purchase. The business doing was very moderate. Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry. There was no English barley on the stands, and the sup ply of foreign was very moderate. All kinds moved off steadily at last week's currency. The demand for malt was inactive; nevotherlss prices wore supported. The supply was tolerably good. We were heavily supplied with foreign oats. Good dry qualities supported preTious rates ; but heated parcels were rather cheaper. Beans were held at late rates, although tho inquiry for thorn was inactive. Peas were Tory firm in price, with a moderate quantity on offer. The flour trade was very quiet. Linseed and zspesaed were firm in price; but agricul tural seeds were dull. In cakes only a moderato business was doing. WOOL. For colonial wool the market has ruled quiet, but no , change has taken place in prices. English wool has l , eit in fair request, at late rates. The imports into lic , ndon last week consisted of 1,332 bales from Brisbane, 514 Mel bourne, 136 Safil, 183 Odessa, 615 Mossel Bay, ;Ind 2,88 L bales from Sydney.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. _~_. COURT OF CHAN CER I I. • (Before Lord Justice Cairns.) IR. RE DARNED'S BANKING COMPANY-THE CONTRACT CORPORATION COMPANY. This morning Barned's Banking C )rnpany again came before the Court of Chan(;cry, in the form of an appeal against the d ecision of the Master of the Rolls, who had ruled that the Contract Corporation Comp ar3y, having been entered on the register as sharekbolders at the time of the failure of the bank, must,' be included in the list of contributories. Ti e Contract Corporation Company, on the other ',land, affirmed that their name had been improperly- Tlaced on the transfer of some shares. Mr. Cotton, Q.C., and Mr. Keketwich appeared for the liquidators of Barned's Ban' dug Company; and Mr. Baggallay, Q.C., ,and Mr.. Swanston for the Contract Corporation Company.. Mr. Baggallay said that on the p art of the Con tract Corporation Company he appoared to support an appeal from the Master of the Rolls, who had made an order placing the company on the list of contributories. He would recapitulate to his lordship what was the transaction which had caused the company to be put upon the list of . contri butories. The had taken 368 shares, which were to be transferred to various persons. As these shares were taken they ought to have bean so transferred in the names of the persons for whom they were in tended. Some of the shares had been left blank, so that it might allow Mr. Mosely to enter the name of the persons who were to have them. A number of shares, which were to have been transferred to one person, were transferred in the naive of the company, although they never knew the subject matter of the transfer, the distinguishing numbers of the shares, nor their aggregate numbers. The Vance Contract Corporation Company was inserted instead of that of the name of a person named peircey. Lord Justice Cairns—Where is Peircey—is he before the Court ? Mr. Baggallay—l do not know, my lord. The Lord Justice 7 -I must have him before me, or you must obtain a rectification of the list. Mr. Baggallay contended that the point which he wished his lordship to decide upon was the question whether they were legally amongst the shareholders or not. The Lord Justice—But you are de facto on the list, and must come before me again in another form, either by obtaining rectification or by bring ing up Peircey. You must say who ought to be on the register and obtain this rectification. After some discussion it was agreed that the motion should come before his lordship as an original one next Michaelmas term, and that in the mean time the Contract Corporation Company could take such steps against Peircey as they thought fit. Spanish Passive Bondholders. MEETING THIS DAY. A special general meeting of the bondholders was held at the London Tavern to consider the proposal of the Spanish Government to sanction the conver sion of the Passive Stock on the condition that the sharehohjors would take additional stock and pay on the same to Mr. Robertson, M.P., chairman of the company. The CHAIRMAN sail that he would briefly explain the ground travelled over since the last meeting. He had communicated with the Spanish Minister in London. The Secretary read a letter from the chairman to the Spanish Minister, and a reply he y had received by the instruction of the Finance Minister. Having read some further correspondence, The CUAIRMAN said that the Spanish Govern ment had appointed Messrs. Baring Brothers as agents for the concession of the passive stock, and they undertook to advance £3,000,U0U at 5 per cent. He diff..red with some members of the com mittee, but he strongly advised the bondholders to accede to the proposed settlement of the Spanish Government, and he concluded by moving a resolu tion to that effect. A very stormy discussion ensued, which had not concluded when we went to press. THE HIGHWAY ROBBERY AT ASCOT RACES. On Saturday, at the Windsor Town Hall, George Baker, alias James Mayne, alias James Rowland, a tall, powerful man, was brought before Messrs. Foster and Hercy and Colonel the Hon. R. Hay, the petty sessional magistrates for the county of Berks, charged with highway robbery with violence upon the person of Mr. Spencer Hugh Mackay, an officer in the army. The robbery, which was of a rather singular nature, took place on the 15th of JUne, 1865—the Ascot Cup day. Mr. Mackay stated in his deposition that either on the Wednes day or Thursday, after the races, he engaged a man to drive him to Maidenhead. The cabman, some little time after leaving the grand stand, took up an other man, and after driving, as nearly as he could recollect, about two miles the cab was stopped, and the two men pulled lira out of the cab and robbed him. They rifled his pockets and stole a silver watch, a chain, necktie, ring, a pair of race glasses, and some loose silver. It was the man who got upon the cab who seized him by the throat and robbed him. The prisoner resembled the man in height and general appearance. Mr. J. Purchase, head-constable of Reading, in his deposition, said that in 1865 he was sergeant-major in the Berks constabulary, and was on duty at Ascot races in June of that year. On the Friday he received information from the prose cutor, Mr. Mackay, that he had been robbed on the previous evening. While Mr. Mackay was giving him the information, Frank Wood, a cab-driver, drove into the railway station, and he was pointed out to him by Mr. Mackay as one of the men who robbed him. He took him into custody and searched him, when he found some of the stolen property on him. He was afterwards convicted. From something that Wood told him he drove im mediately to Sunninghill-bog, and he pointed out to him a vehicle as his master's cart or van. He saw a woman whom Wood said was his mistress. He s had a conversation with her and afterwards searched the van. He found between the mattress and the bed in the van a race glass with case and strap, which Mr. Mackay iden tified ; and he afterwards at the trial of Wood gave it up to Mr. Mackay. He received from Frank Wood a description of the man who was with him when the robbery was committed, and the prisoner exactly corresponded with that description. After wards he communicated with Mr. Inspector Reece. The name of "Rowland, Chertsey," was on the van. Thomas Titheridgo deposed to seeing the prisoner with Frank Wood on a close cab about 7 o'clock the same evening. Witness was standing at the Ascot Hotel and the cab was going towards Bracknell. The prisoner said he was innocent of the charge, and, as he had been suffering from con sumption for about four years, he hoped they would not send him to prison. Ultimately he was com mitted for trial at the assizes at Reading, the magistrates intimating that they would accept bail, himself in £BO and two sureties of £4O each. The prisoner was removed in custody of. Mr. Inspector Reece.

THE LOSS OF THE WEARHOUTH.—Down to Satur day night no further intelligence had been received of the screw collier IVearmouth, of Sunderland,. which left that port on Thursday evening week, and there is no doubt she has been lest with all hands. She was coal laden and bound to Hamburg, and appears to have foundered in a gale of wind on Saturday night on a sand inside Heligoland with all hands. She was commanded by Mr. Wilson, of Sun derland, and had a crew of 13 hands, all told. A vessel saw asteamer founder cn Thursday at the entrance of the Elbe, the appearance of which corresponded with that of the Weartuouth, and, as no other vessel is overdue, there is no question but it is the unfortunate PhiP.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUG 11-S TREE P. THE TAILORS' STRIKIL-Johli Griilin,•- ft journeyman tailor, in the employ of Mr. Poole, tailor, of Saville-row was charged, before Mr. Mansfield, With assaulting Henry Cannon, another_tailor. The complainant said—Yesterday afternoon I was walking in Brook-street when the prisoner and some others came up to me and set to kicking me, and the prisoner, besides kicking me, also struck me. I had given them no provocation. Mr. Mansfield—Did they say any thing to you ? Complainant—Not a word. Mr. Mansfield—Do you know anything of them ? Complainant--I never saw them before, and gave no provocation. Prisoner—He is a union man, and accused mo of work ing for a firm where he had been, and struck. He said "I know by your walk you are a ' dung' (a term applied to men who work for a shop whore the hands aro on strike.) He struck me and cut my lips. Sergeant Cook, 16 C—About half-past three yesterday afternoon I saw a large crowd of persons collected in Brook-street, and on going up I saw the complainant lying on the pavement. He got up, and the prisoner and two others made a rush at him, but I prevented them touching him, and took the prisoner into custody, as he was stated by the complainant to have been the one who first assaulted him. The prisoner had been drinking freely. By the Prisoner—You were bleeding from the mouth. I believe there had boon two or three fighting at one time. Prisoner— I was walking through Brook-street, with two companions, when complainant walked over to him and said "1 know you are a ' dung 'by your walk." lam working for Mr. Poole, of Saville-row. Tho complainant struck me and I defended myself. Tho complainant called some butchers and carpenters to attack us. I took no notice of the complainant, and it is not my practice to take notic3 of persons who are Unionists. Robert Patten, another tailor, was called by the prisoner, who said—Yesterday afternoon Iwas with the prisoner and another in Brook -street. We were going quietly along when when the complainant said, "Here come a lot of dungs ; we shall give it them now." Complainant then came over, and, singling out the prisoner, struck him on the breast, and the prisoner then defended himself. Com plainant then called some others to attack us, including two butchers, and if the police had not come up we should have been killed. I consider it a bad thing a man can't walk through the streets without being molested. Mr. Mansfield—Were you struck? Witness—Yes, by a carpenter named Drown, the com plainant telling the persons who came up that wo were "dungs." Mr. Mansfield said the evidence was very contradictory, and ho could only judge by the probabilities of the case• The complainant's evidence was to the effect that without any provocation the prisoner walked up to him and knocked him down. On tho other side it was stated that ho (the complainant) insulted the prisoner and his companions by calling them " dungs." He (Mr. Mans field) believed the latter version of the matter to be the truth. The greatest stain on the conduct of the trades unions was their infringing on the rights of labour of other men, and ho hoped that every trades' unionist who acted in the same manner as the complainant had done would be Beverly punished. The prisoner would be discharged. TIIE FISHING TRADE OF THE NORTIL—III conse quence of the recent stormy weather the large fleets of fishing boats, usually engaged at this time of year from the north-eastern ports, have been much detained in the harbours. But on Wednesday and Thursday a consider able fleet of boats got out of the Tyne, and as the fish is now well inshore, the most of them had good catches. Some of the best fished boats averaged about 17,000 fish each. The price by auction at Shields on Wednesday was from 58. 6d. to Gs., and on Thursday from 45. 2d. to 4s. 3d. por 100. The salmon fishing in all the northern rivers is doing well; in the T) no it continues to bo particularly successful, and a great number of licences have boon taken out to net fish. White fish of oxtrom-ly fine quality is selling at Shields at 91. per lb. There is a good supply of white fl-,h in the northern ports. Some very fair qu.dity of fish may be bought at ld. per lb. PARLIAMENTARY REPORTERS.—There are in the gallery of the House of Comm Cons and Lords between GO and 70 reporters—tho number varying from session to session—of whom about 15 are Roman Catholics. Of the latter two aro Englishmen and converts. This simple statement of the figures at once disposes of the allegation that the "Gallery" is either Irish or Roman Catholic in its complexion. Of the 15 Roman Catholic reporters, eight are distributed amongst two morning journals —one of these being the Times, and the other the most decidedly anti-Romanist morning journal in London. It is a curious fact that, in proportion to its staff of reporters, the most ultra-Protestant paper of tho metropolis -we speak only of the daily journals—is the one which has the largest number of Romanist reporters upon it. There are amongSt the reporting body as staunch upholders of Protestantism as Mr. Harper or Mr. Whalley, or even, the Marquis of Westmeath ; and anything in the shape of suppression of fact or argument because it told against a particular side, or party, or creed, would be at once detected and denounced. —Eaximmr.

There was a full average suprly of foreign stock on sale hero to-day in but middling condition. Sales progressed slowly on rather lower terms. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were on the increase when compared with Mon day last, and of full average quality. Owing to the limited number of buyers in attendance, the demand for all breeds was heavy, at a decline in the quotations of fully 2d per Blbs. A few very superior beasts realised 5s 2d, but the general top figure did not exceed 5s per Blbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received about 1,800 shorthorns and crosses, from other parts of England 700 various breeds, and from Scot land 30 Scots and crosses. Only a moderate number of sheep was on sale, and the quality of most kinds was by no means first rate. The mutton trade was in a most inactive state, at a fall in prices of quit• 2d per 81bs. The best Downs and half breds sold at 4s 10d to 5s per 81bs. _ _ We have again to report much heaviness in the sale for lambs, at a further decline in the quotations of from 2d to 4d per Sibs. The best Down lambs sold at 6s 21 per 81bs. Trio supply was tolerably good. Calves were in fair average supply and moderate request at last week's currency, viz., from 4s to os 2d per 81bs.

The Goodwood reunion terminated on Friday, after four days' racing of the most gigantic dimensions, whilst the patronage of the aristocracy was unusually large. At least 250 horses were on the spot, the greater part of which ran in their different engagements throughout the week, and many of them have already made themselves illustri ous and known to fame. Of the youngsters Idalia, a filly by Thunderbolt out of Dulcibelle, who won the Ham Stakes, is sure to do her her noble owner good service. Athena, although she recovered some of her lost reputation by winning the Levant Stakes, is not quite Al. RABICAN, winner of the Findon Stakes, on the other hand, is a grand-looking two-year old, and has all the appearance of growing into a Derby horse of the best quality, and those of your readers who invest on him now will, I feel persuaded, have no cause to regret it. The Parson does not seem to have improved on his Spring form, but TREGEAGLE, a roan colt by Wild Dayrell from Silverhair, who beat him and Formosa in a canter for the Seventeenth Bentinck Memorial Triennial Stakes, is another candidate for Darby honours, whose chance should by ne means be overlooked, as on a previous occasion he beat See Saw and Bismark in a canter. The only other I think it necessary to allude to is Banditto, who beat Europa by a head (she carrying 51b extra), thus prov ing himself a good deal better than his Ascot running indi cated. Of the throe-year-olds, Tibthorpo left a field of thirty-four horses behind him for the Stewards' Cup as if they were standing still, a convincing proof that he must have hal something like 2st in hand, with which fact, moreover, the public must have become acquainted or' hey would never have taken such a ridiculous price as 3 to 1 about him with nearly forty starters. The Skipper, who ran fourth, giving the winner 231 b, showed the next best form in the race. D'Estournel went straight as an arrow for the Rous Stakes, and woa easily, thus effectually settling any pretensions Taraban may have had for the St. Leger, although, to show the uncertainty of horse-racing, it is within my recollection that Imperious° won the Great Northern prize, after being beaten in a scurry handicap, at York, a fortnight nearer to that event than now. Narino won a £5O plate in good style, and is worth following. Van Amburgh secured the Drawing Room Stakes for his owner in a common canter, but I cannot stand him for the St. Leger ; nor do I think, unless either Hermit, Vauban, or Marksman fail to put in an appearance for it, that ho is likely to be in the first three. Vauban did not, to my notion, win the Cup so easily as some of your contemporaries make out, still all his performances have been of the most brilliant descrip tion since the Derby, and it may be that want of pace - --the excuse made by his party afterwards — really was the cause of his defeat. At any rate he has shown himself a thorough race horse on every occasion since, and should Hermit come well to the post, I antici pate seeing a most exciting race between the pair. Marks man is also, I hear, doing remarkably well, and will doubt less display vary different form to whet he showed at Ascot. Whoa Mr. Merry is in earnest and backs his horses they are always very near the mark, and at this time of writing I believe the colt by Dundee out of Shot is the most trustworthy for " a situation." Last, though not least, Tynedale requires notice at my hands, and I do not hesitate to pronounce him ono of the best horses of his year. His owner, too straightforward for the present day, reserved him for the honour of winning the Cup, thereby sacrificing the Stakes, which he would cer tainly have won had ho started for it. However, he; has several other engagements this week, where in ho is sure to give a good account of himself. Concerning the old horses, Gomora and Ostreger proved themselves two clinkers. The first-named won the Stakes in a cantor, and Mr. Thellussou's old horse squandered the twenty-four horses opposed to him in the Chester field Cup in a better style, each of them r carying the welter weight of 9st, and giving lumps of weight away to som e of their oppOnents. The lat ter has unfortunately been sold by his owner to the Aus trian Government for 3,000 guineas, and has already been delivered up to the agent, notwithstanding that an offer of £l,OOO was made subsequent to the race by Mr. T. to be off the contract. Wolsey is evidently an overrated horse, and another proof of the fallacy of private trials in many instances. lam fully convinced that distance is not Regalia's forte, and that two miles is about the extent of her capability to compass with success. The management of the meeting under the supervision of Captain Valentine was everything that could be de sired, and the advantage derived from Inspector Tanner's presence in the Grand Stand will surely induce the stewards of all other meetings throughout the country to insist upon a similar arrangement being carried into effect. The programme of the Deighton races is, as usual, a most a tt rac tive one; but in some of the st akes, in consequence the line obtained fro m the Goodwood running, many of the competitors will be frightened away. Of the 17 ac ceptances for the Brighton Stakes, there are only three or four with the slightest chance, and those are John Davis, Amanda colt, Tynedale, and Vigorous. John Davis meets the Amanda colt on 81b. better terms than in the Queen's Plate at Goodwood, and as the latter only won by a length, the old horse ought to beat him this journey. Tynedale must have an extraordinary chance from his Goodwood Cup running. Vigorous is turned loose, but it is doubtful if the stable will back her in the face of a good horse like the one just alluded to. The winner I expect pect will turn up in either VIGOROUS on TTNEDALE. The forfeits for the Marine Plate aro not declared until this evening, but should FORTUNIO be amongst the "contents," I should pin my faith on him. The Cham pagne Stakes will go to KNIGHT OF THE GARTER or PHIPONNIER, most likely to the latter. as it is doubt ful if Captain Machell's horse will start for it. The Fif teenth Brighton Biennial Stakes 10-:ks a certainty for Tr VAN Amnunou, although I hear h e is to be opposed by _ cadero. The Railway Stakes would a fford PA o CE m a s favourable opportunity to make his debut, as titers from an allowance of 51b., and those of his compe whom any danger need be feared carry, extra.

There are some capital entries for Friday's and Satur day's racing at Lewes. Uufortnnately the acceptances for several of the handicaps do not take place until Tuesday, therefore I can only point to the chances of one or two which seem best in. Fur the De Warrenno tlandicap HER LADYSHIP and THE RETURNED ought to give a good ac count of themselves. In the Priory Stakes I think MILTON (who is entitled to blb allowance, and all winners in the race are penalised 31b and 71b, according to the amount), is most trustworthy. A FRESH MAN.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—This EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at fire o'clock. PitEeed te on reports SEmNeeTATlONOr being THE moved,PEOPL E'S BILL. THE O R On the E amendments Lord RUSSELL proposed to leave out clause 4, page 2, would amongstm fran chise.os t t d h e a d t i s v u t t c h h g a r n e a t a ter a t dissatisfactionion line 82, which substituted £ l5 for £lO in the lodger imrel itic H a e nd st a a t te te d n the humbler classes. Lord DERBY said that ho must say that he had con curred in the propriety of raising the amount to £l5 from £lO. It was proposed because it was considered they would introduce a greater number of persons of stability by such an amendment. He would advise their lordships, taking all the circumstances of the lodger rating into con sideration, that they should not put thsmsolves in anta gonism with the other house, but accept the amendment of the noble earl opposite. Lord HARDINGE said that he approved of the course pursued by the Government, and, much as het bjected to many of the points in the bill, still he thougthey ought to do all they could to pass the bill this session. Lord CAIRNS said that if he had known that it was the opinion of the Houses of Parliament that £lO clear rating was considered sufficient for a lodger franchise, and he should be very willing to submit t) their decision. The amendment of Earl Russell was then carried. THE UNIVERSITIES. Earl GRANVILLE said that there was a strong objec tion on the part of the authorities of the Universities that undergraduates should take part in the election for the Uni versities of towns and boroughs. It was urged that there might be a " tow u and gown" row, to use a vulgar expres sion, on the very day of the election. He trusted that they would take the opinion of the university authorities on the matter. He should propose that no man at the universities who had not taken his degree should have a vote. Lord CAMOYS quite agreed with the remarks of Lord Granville with regard to undergraduate members of the universities. Lord POWIS disapproved of the amendment to the clause made by Lord Granville. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COIIMONS—Turs EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL. Mr. NEWDEGA'PE gave notice that on Friday be should call the attention of the house to the report and evidence taken befo H re the REF E c Oßli BlLL.clesiastical Titles Committee. TE Mr. GLADSTONE asked the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, ou the return of the Reform Bill to that house, he would state thecourse the Go vernment meant to adopt with respect to amendments that had been made to that measure in another place. He asked the question so that members might be made aware of the intention of the Government at the earliest moment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did not exactly uuderstand the question. They had no official information as yet as to the amendments that had been made to the measure. Th.) usual procedure in such eases, he believed, was to wait for the bill being returned to the house with amendments, to have those amendments printed and placed in the hands of hon. members, after which the Government would state the course they in tended to take with regard to the amendments. He should follow the precedents of the house on the occasion. Mr. GLADSTONE said he did not wish to press the question, as he was sure, cousidering the period of the session, the right hon. gentleman would give the earlieit information on the point possible. The question he had put was whether, when the bill was returned to the house, w hilst waiting for the amendments, the Government would at once state the course which they intended to adopt without waiting for the printing of the amendments. It would be a great convenience to the house if the earliest intimation was given of the course the Government in tended to pursue. ATROCITIES IN CANDIA. Mr. O'BEIRNE asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention had been called to the state ment which appeared in the public newspapers that telegrams had been scut to their Governments by foreign consuls in Candle , he that " the Turkish Turks ar e massacring women and children ; t authorities are neither able to subdue the insurrection or to put a stop to these massacres; humanity demands the immediate suspension of hostilities or the transference of the Christians from Greece." Aud whether he had re ceived any such communication from Candle; if he had, what was its date, when did it reach his hands, a t nd whetheor tor he had any objection toplace it upon the able, state its contents to the House ? Lord STANLEY said his attention had been directed to the mat er, and he had received a communication from Col. Dixon that the Turkish Government, so far from being incapable of preventing acts of atrocity did their utmost to prevent the recurrence of such cruelties, and on the per petrator or perpetrators they were punished with the ut most rigour. THE SOCIETY OF ENGINEERS. Mr. HUGHES asked the Vice-President of the Board of Trade whether it was the fact that the Board of Trade had reported against the granting of a royal chart if er onof incorporation to "the Soci et y of Engineers; and so, what ground had the Board of Trade so reported ? Mr. CAVE said ther e was no objection to grant a charter of incorporation to the body mentioned, the ob jection was to the name, which was similar to that of the Society of Civil Engineers. GREEN WIC!' HOSPITAL. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. SEELEY called the attention of the house to the management of Greenwich Hospital, and entered at seine length into the management of various departments, all of which, he contended, were mismanaged ; and he also stated that he believel gross jobbery existed throughout the a dministraon of entire establishment. The hon. gen tleman concluded the by moving that the c ost of Greenwich Hospital was too great, and ought to be reduced. Mr. CORRY said he was nut responsible for the pr entering on the duties of ()Mee. Ile had looked fiver the the mattmater, and he agreed with the hon. gentlemanof management was too great, and with a view of ascertain ng whether it was possible to effect a reduction ci the cost, a committee had been appointed at the Admiralty, which had been prosecuting a most search ing inquiry, but ho regretted the committee had not yet been able to present their report. As the matter was being thoroughly investigated, lie hoped his hon. friend would not press his motion to a division. (LEFT SITTING.) SIVIMMING. NORTH LONDON SWIMMING CLUB. This club, although so recently established, bids fair to become one of the most popular i London, and they on Saturday last held the Race Open to all Amateurs, in the pond, Lower Heath, Hampstead, the prize being a fine silver cup. It was a 400 yards handicap, and 11 started, viz.: —Newberry, with 10 sec. start ; Stabbach, 5 sec. ; Whyte, 10 sec.; Culverhouse, 15 sec. ; Powell, 20 sec. ; Hamilton, 20 see. ; Jackson, 26 sec.; C. Carling, '2 min. 50 sec.; Mingay, 50 sec.; Gardiner, 53sec.; and liodgkinson, 30 see. Mr. Caring, the secretary of the club, ha i gained 100 yards before Mingay started, and he of course rounded the flag first, Miugay next, and Gardiner third ; it was a fine race home (the p.ind being just 200 yards in length); the rest of the competitors gradu illy gained ou Carling, but could not got in front, and the latter won easily by 15 yards. Gardiner passed Miugay, and came iu se cuildby yard, Newberry being fourth. Mr. 11. Woodstock officiated as starter and judge. TILE END of THE SESSION. —Up to the present time 69 public and 169 local acts of Parliament hztve bee in n passed. There are a number yet to be passed, and official circles it is stated that the prorogation will not be accomplished before the 20th inst., and some persons go further, and make it towards the end of the month. The Reform 4111 cannot reach the third reading for some days, and it will then have to be discussed in the Commons, and probably a conferen ce of the two houses will take place. THE NEW JUDGE OF TIIE COURT OF ADIIIRATY. —The registrar has iss ued a notice that no contested case efor e j t u h d e g long ng will hear m a but tt e early .r si chambersnotice wil be given ibcven t a k en whoa before the and in court.
