NONEit'IARKET AND COMMERCIAL •INTELLIGENCI, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The money market continues very steady at pre vious quotations ; if anything, money is not quite F3O plentiful. It has been notified thatOlr. William Grain, of N °. 3 1, Threadneedle-street, London, has been appointed a Commissioner of Affidavits for the Canadian Courts, and of Deeds for the States of New York and California. A further withdrawal of £60,000 in gold took Place at the Bank of England yesterday afternoon. The following are the latest prices of bullion : Bar gold, 775. 9d. to 775. 91d. per oz. standard ; bar gold, parting, 78s. do. ; doubloons, Spanish, 7 58. Gd. to 765. Gd. do. ; doubloons, Mexican and South American, 735. 9d. to 745. 3d. do. ; United States eagles, 765. 4d. to 765. sd. do. ; bar silver, ss. Old do. ; bar silver, containing gold (5 grains and upwards), ss. id. to ss. Id. do. ; dollars, Mexi can, 4s. Hid. do. ; cake silver, ss. sfd. do. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets durin g the last few days there has been only a moderate amount of business transacted, the opera tions in tea having been deferred until the public sales, which commence this day. Sugars have maintained steady prices, while superior qualities of Coffee have brought full values. In rice the opera tions have been to a very moderate extent, the high rates demanded by holders having checked exten sive operations. In tallow the dealings have been to a very moderate extent, and prices have in some instances ruled a shade firmer, particularly for forward delivery. We have received the annexed with regard to the arrangements between the Grand Trunk and the Great Western Railways of Canada "It is announced that the negotiations to which the chairman of the Grand Trunk and Great West ern Railways of Canada referred at their late half yearly meetings as being then in progress, have now been brought to a successful termination a memorandum of agreement having been settled by the two boards. The principle of the agreement is to charge equal rates and fares for competitive traffic, and a division of all traffic for which the two companies compete in Canada. There are also stipulations preventing any unnecessary outlay by either companies for new lines, and for the joint working of the, stations of the two lines where they come in contact. It is believed that the result of this agreement will be not only to obtain more re munerative rates for the existing traffic, but also to develope the traffic of both companies, with, at the same time, a reduction in the working expenses." The report has been issued of the Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London, and China for the past 12 months ending 31st December last, from which it will be seen that the profit amounts to £102,221 3s. 2d., to which has t 6 be added £2,713 14s. 2d., brought forward from the previous year, making a total of £104,934 17s. 4d. A sum of £75,000 has been paid in two half-yearly divi dends of five per cent. each. The shareholders will probably have anticipated from the disastrous events of 1866 that the results of the bank's operations for that year have been unsatisfactory. Looking forward to the possibility of continued danger, the directors considered it their duty to curtail as much 118 Possible their business at all points, and it will be Seen from the accounts that this policy has been Strictly carried out, though at the cost of a very material reduction of the usual profits of the bank.

Jane 9li I Report of the Charity Commission. - The Charity Commissioners for England state in their report on the year 1866. that the number of charities that have placed their funds in stock vested in the official trustees under the Act of Par liament has reached 4,099, and the amount of the funds is £2,686,564. The Commissioners re ceived in the year 17,017 returns of the accounts of charities. They are not pro ceeding further with the digest of endowed charities until Parliament shall decide whether it shall be printed for general information. Upwards of 300 orders were made in 1866 for the appointment and removal of trustees, or the establishment of schemes for the administrations of charities —orders made with ample publicity and with almost abso lute immunity from cost, but formerly requiring ex., pensive applications to the judicial courts. But the Commissioners again call public attention to the inconvenience of the rule of law which prohibits the establishment of any scheme involving a substantial departure from the declared intentions of the founder, reventing the adaptation of ancient charitable en dowments to the altered conditions of modern so.. ciety and the results of experience, although the de sign of the founder may have failed, or the funds may be promoting pauperism, or, being insufficient for their intended object, may be capable of being more effectively employed. It would not be difficult to place abundant guards and checks against the abuse of a power for the settlement of such charities. The present report presents three schemes provision ally approved by the Commissioners, to be submitted for separate acts of Parliament—a course which can not be made extensively effectual for the same bene ficial objects. The first scheme is for the better ad ministration of Sir John Port's hospital and school at Etwall and Repton, Derbyshire. Many questions have arisen upon the management of this trust, and the scheme proposes the appointment of an efficient body of trustees with power (with the sanction of the Charity Commissioners) to devise new regula tions for the more useful administration of the trust. The foundation dates from 1556, and includes an almshouse and free grammar school. The almshouse has been the means of drawing to Etwall the poor of the neighbourhood. The almsmen would be happier, and more good would be done, if they had out-pensions and lived with their friends. There are 16 almsmen, and only 58 labourers in the parish, a small number to choose from. The charity estate is worth probably £3,000 a year, and Repton and Etwall do not together contain 3,000 persons. The school has extended far be iond the provision of a free education for a few boys ; it now supplies a first-class education to 200, and takes high rank among classical schools. Great improvements might be accomplished by an efficient body of suitable local trustees, of which the heredi tary governors and the master of the hospital should be members. The second scheme to be submitted to Parliament relates to the Tancred charities, founded hi 1754, providing a home at Whixlcy, Yorkshire, for 12 decayed gentlemen, and the edu cation of 12 students for the learned professions. The principle of the foundation at Whixley has proved unsound, and it is not expedient to continue that establishment ; but the studentships have been productive of benefit. The scheme proposes (sub ject to existing rights) out pensions not exceeding £1,200 a year in the whole, extending this part of the charity to include women, and the application of the residue of the funds to an increased number of studentships. The income of the charity exceeds £4,000 a year. The scheme gives powers to the governcrs which would enable them to relax the re gulation made by the founder, that the divinity students should be educated at Christ's College, Cambridge, the medical at Gonville and Caius, and the law at Lincoln's-inn. The last of the three schemes relates to the foundation of Mr. T. Brown, who died in 1852, having made a bequest - to the University of London for establishing (15 years after his death) an animal sanatory institution, for the cure of the maladies of quadrupeds or birds use- . ful to man, the institution to have a resident pro fessor who should give free lectures to the public ; the bequest to revert (if the institution should not continue to be conducted agreeably to the will) to the University of Dublin for founding professorships of the Welsh and certain Oriental languages. The trust fund is about £30,000 stock. The income of that fund would not main tain an efficient institution of the character contem plated by the donor ; but his benevolent purpose would be effectually promoted by the application of the income to the improvement of veterinary science and practice. The senate of the University, therefore, recommend the institution of a depart ment in which intending veterinary practitioners may submit themselves to progressive examinations, to be followed by the award of exhibitions and prizes, and by marks of honourable distinction, as well as certificates of proficiency ; any remaining surplus of the income to be applied iu other ways to the general diffusion and advancement of veterinary science. The Charity Commissioners, assenting to these views, have provisionally approved a scheme for carrying them into effect. We understand that /he Day newspaper having answered the end for which it was originally pub lished, of ascertaining, namely, whether public opinion would support a journal representing Constitu tional Liberalism, will be verified, under the same name, or another, as may seem the more expedient, as soon as the machinery required iu order to meet the demand for it can be provided. DISMISSAL OF A VOLUNTEER.—On Saturday, at the assembly of the Ist Warwickshire Volunteers in Bir mingham Drummer Cotterell was publicly dismissed from the corps, pursuant to decision of a court of inquiry, for having hisSed and assaulted a member of the drum and fife band of the corps. This is the second dismissal from this corps within a short time. 'THE 81)N, LONVON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 7, 1867. SHARE MARKET3.—This day.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) BAIL COURT. (Sitting at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice Mellor.) MILLER V. KIMBRAT. This was an action brought to recover compensation in damages for injuries sustained through the bite of a dog, the property of the . defendant, a widow, who keeps a lodging-house at 4, Gardner-lane, Westminster. Mr. Joyce and Mr. Pearse appeared for the plaintiff, but the defendant was not represented by counsel. From the evidence it appeared that the plaintiff is a person in humble circumstances, living at 2, Gardner-lane, occupying an apartment in one of the houses of the de fendant. She went last January to pay some rent to the landlady at her house, when she was attacked by a fero cious dog, the property of the latter, which inflicted such injuries on her leg and thigh that she was laid up for ten days in the Lospital, and was still an out-patient. She was unable to attend to her duties, and she and her husband sustained such pecuniary loss es, in their humble circum stances, became a very serious matter. When the dog at tackud Mrs. Miller, the defendant cried, "Good God, he ►s going to worry her," a proof, as it was contended by counsel, she must have been aware of th vicious habits of the animal. It was proved that it had flown at some of the neighbours, and about three years ago bit a man in the leg, as he stated, tearing away the trowsers and a piece of his calf, by which he was laid up for several weeks, but no action was brought, the matter having been arranged between the defendant's husband, who was then living, and the party in question. The medical gentlemen subpoenaed not being iu attend ance, this closed the plaintifl's case. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, assessing the damages at £lO. CRIMINAL COUR r.-(rlia DAY.)

THE TRAGEDY AT BIICKHITRST-HILL. EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER THIS DAY. WALTHAM ABBEY, Tuesday. This morning, at a little after eight o'clock, the prisoner, Frederick Alexander Watkins, was con veyed from Ilford Gaol to Waltham Abbey Police court. At 11 o'clock this forenoon Mr. Domes, the chairman of the bench of magistrates, took his seat, when the prisoner was placed in the dock. Mr. Abrams, of Bow-street, London, appeared to defend the prisoner, and said—l presume, as the prosecutrix is not well enough to give evidence to day, the accused will be remanded after the evi dence of Dr. Horne has been taken. Dr: Horne said the young woman was progress ing favourably up to Friday last, when serious head symptoms supervened, and since Sunday another change has taken place, and she is now butter. Mr. Abrams—Do you now think that all danger is over? Dr. llorne—l cannot go so far as to say that ; but if things go on favourably she will be out of danger next Tuesday. The Bench then remanded the prisoner for a week. Shipwreck ani Loss of Six Lives. DREADFUL SUFFERINGS OF THE SURVIVORS. A tale of unusual suffering at sea is unfolded by the arrival at Arbroath of the Blyth brig Ancient Promise, Capef R. B. Stannard, from Memel, with a cargo of flax for an Arbroath firm. The Ancient Promise has brought with her Capt. Currie, master of the brig Ocean Queen, of Blyth, which vessel was wrecked in the month of December last. About the beginning of December the Ocean Queen sailed from Riga for Hartlepool, with a crew of eight hands, all told. She had a cargo of deal on board. From the day of her sailing she encountered fearful weather, and about the 12th she sprung a leak. The men worked hard at the pumps, and the captain steered for Dantzic. The water, however, made upon them rapidly, and, in consequence of the heavy seas sweeping the deck, the crew had to betake them selves to the rigging for safety. The vessel was so waterlogged that she did not answer to the helm. A day after she sprung a leak, about seven o'clock in the evening, the brig, being half full of water, capsized. Two of the crew—Samuel Turner, an able seaman, and John Petrie, an apprentice, the latter belonging to Aberdeen—were drowned. The re mainder of the crew had managed to get hold of the vessel, to which they clung. Two hours after she capsized the whole of the upper works flush with the deck, fore and aft, were swept away by the sea, the effect of which was that the brig immediately after wards righted. The Ocean Queen was, as near as could be made out, 45 miles E.S.E. off Memel when she capsized. The six survivors all got on board when she righted, but there was neither food nor water—nothing but a water logged hulk drift ing about on the stormy sea. The cook, Robert Hadley, Blyth, died two days after the accident, of exhaustion and hunger, and two days after that again another of the crew succumbed. Several ves sels had been seen, but they were all at a distance, so that the hull of the Ocean Queen was not observed by them, and no assistance was obtained. On the fourth day, however, two ships, one of them Swedish and the other supposed to be from Memel, passed close at hand, and indeed were spoken by the crew of the Ocean Queen, who, however, were left to their fate. The unfortunate men were now in a deplorable condition, and had been reduced to the shocking necessity of allaying the pangs of hunger by eating part of the bodies of their comrades who had died. To quench their thirst they sucked pieces of ice and drank sea water, the latter bringing on fever and insensibility. On the seventh day after the capsizing of the brig the mate, Robert Oliver, Blyth, died and a young boy named Jas. Hamilton died on the eighth day. Hamilton was a native of Scotland, and his widowed mother resides at Shields. Ile was an apprentice. Just as he died the vessel, Dcc. 21, struck the beach near the fishing village of miles from Memel. Of the eight of a crew who . had sailed witk her when she left Riga only two were now alive—the master, C.tpt. Carrie, and a seaman named Julius Fortis, a native of the Cape de Verde Islands. Both men were in a shocking state—frost bitten, suffering from hunger and thirst, and in a raging fever. It is not known how Fortis got ashore, but the captain had, without well knowing how, got astride a plank of wood, and was so washed up on the beach. They appear to have lain there some hours before they were noticed by the villagers. When the captain first came to consciousness he found himself and Fortis laid upon the backs of horses, and being conducted by some fishermen to Niddin. Tho villagers showed them kindness, and sent to Memel to inform the British consul there of what had occurred. The next day the consul came with a doctor, and, on the suggestion of Captain Currie himself, they were removed to Memel for treatment. The unfortunate men suffered greatly on the journey to Memel, which was made on horseback, and there was no proper road. Fortis was sent into hospital, and Mr, Carrie got a private lodging. The former was found to be so badly frost-bitten that both his feet and both his hands had to be amputated. He is still in Memel. Capt. Currie had to get the sole of one of his feet cut off, it was so mu c h i n jur e d by th e f ros t. Ile is suffering in his feet still, but otherwise he has recovered his health, Mr. Currie states that he had every attention from the doctor. Being so far re covered as to be able to undertake the voyage, he left Memel on the 26th ult. with the Ancient Pro mise, which vessel arrived at Arbroath after a rapid passage.—Sectsman.

Sir George Buller, K.C. - 13., Governor of Portsmouth and military Commander in-Chief of the South-West District, accompanied by Col. Elliot, R.A., and other officers of the Staff, embarked yesterday morning on board the paddle steam yacht Fire Queen, Staff Commander Paul, and proceeded on a tour of inspection of the mili tary stations and fortifications on the Isle of Wright and at Hurst Point, opposite the Needles Channel and Western forts. The division at Aldershot, under the command of Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. Sir J. Y. Scarlett, K.C.8., has been actively exercised in field manoeuvres dur ing the past week. On Tuesday the Cavalry Bri gade, consisting of the Ist (King)'s) Dragoon Guards, the 15th Lancers, and the 15th (King's) Hussars, formed up in line on Eelmoor-hill, under command of Major-Gen. Hodge, C. 8., and were inspected by the Lieut -Gen. commanding. After inspection the brigade marche I past in open column of squadrons, trotted past by sections, and repassed by squadrons at a trot; then form 2d up on its original ground, ad vanced in line in field order, halted, and changed front by echelon, right thrown back, advanced in double column from the centre of the brigade, and formed two parallel lines. Skirmishers were thrown out by the 15th llussara, and several combined movements were male with a view to check a sup posed enemy. On the conclusion of the manoeuvres the brigade advanced in parade order and gave a general salute. The troops, who had behaved admi rably under arms and elicited the commendations of Gen. Scarlett, were then dismissed to quarters. On Thursday the Infantry Brigades had a field day, five ruunds of blank ammunition per man being issued. At half-past 10 the troops formed up in line of con tiguous columns on the Queen's Parade, North Camp. Shortly afterwards the brigades were inspected by the Lieut.-Gen. commanding, and the troops marched past in open columns of grand divisions in quick time, and in the following order :—Pioneers, bands, and drums of the Ist Brigade, Staff of Bri gade, Major-Gen. Renny; Col. Lacy and 56th (West Essex Regiment) ; Lieut.-Col, Cooper and 70th (Surrey) Regiment ; pioneers, bands, and drums of 21 Brigade, Staff of Brigade, Major- Gen. Campbell, C.B. ; Col.

The troops were after wards disposed with a view to check an enemy on the south side of the canal. A variety of well-exe cuted manoeuvres followed, ending by the Lieut.- Gen. forcing the passage of the canal bridge, and the enemy retiring before the victorious division. The troops then returned to quarters. Several regiments and corps at Aldershott have been inspected during the past week. The 17th Lancers were inspected by Major-Gen. Hodge, C. 8., commanding the Cavalry Brigade ; No. 3 Company Royal Engineers by Col. Laffan, commanding Royal Engineers at Aldershott ; and B Troop of the Royal Engineer Train by the same officer.

The 14th Ilussars have also to occupy Perth and Hamilton, only one rigiment of cavalry having of late years been quartered in Scotland. The strength of the regiment is 31 officers and 556 non-commis3ioned officers and privates, rank and file. NEW COURT. John Balls, a labourer, was indicted with stealing a watch and chain, the property of Mr. Charles Cadge. When the prisoner was brought up ho refused to plead. The learned Judge call©d upon the prison surgeon to say whether there was anything to lead him to believe that the prisoner was of unsound mind. Tho Surgeon said he knew of nothing to ind uce hi m t o come to that belief. The prisoner had conducted himself in a quiet manner, but he had zontned i bi s s p eec h t o say ing in answer to every questioit put to him—" I want some more beer." One of the warders of Newgate also said the prisoner, he believed, was merely assuming his present conduct. The learned Judge, addressing the jury, said it would be for them to say whether, after the evidence they had heard, the prisoner was mute by malice. If so, he could be dealt with in the ordinary ray. The jury being of opinion that the prisoner was mute of malice, whereupon the prisoner was tried without pleading. The evidence was to the effect that on the 2nd of the month the prosecutor was walking down Fenchurck ■treet, when the prisoner snatched away the watch and ran away. The police-constable on duty saw the theft committed, and pursued the prisoner, eventually securing him after he had run a considerable distance. Before, however, he took him into custody, prisoner threw the watch away, and when he was at the station, after the charge had been entered, he said ho had merely done the trick for a lark. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. A former conviction having been proved against the prisoner, the learned judge sentenced him to seven years' penal servitude. POLICE liITELLIGESCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGR-STREET. HYDE PARK CHARGES. There woro but four charges from Hpie Park brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, and they were as follows: John Cane and Charles Fraser, two rough-looking fel lows, were charged with gambling in Hyde Park. Sergeant Edward Langley, of the detective police, said that about eight o'clock last night he was in Hyde Park, and saw about a doze❑ persons playing at a game some what similar to roulette—a cover, painted similar to a roulette table and surrounded with horSes, being placed on some boards, and there being in the' centre a hand like that of a clock working on a pivot. Ho got the assistance of other officers, and as soon as the persons saw them coming they ran off, but he managed to secure Cane with the cover and board under his arm. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhict, Sergeant Langley said that he had saes Cane putting money down, saying at the same time 2 to 1 ou a certain horse painted on oil cloth. Polic-constable Sawyer, 175, M., having given evidence against Fraser, Cane said that he had nothing to do with the table ; ho was given one shilling by a man for taking it home. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the evidence did not go against the prisoner Fraser, and he would be discharged. Whilst that Court existed the park would not be a nuisance to deceive people ; and as he considered the prisoner Cane fell within the meaning of the Vagrant Act, ho would be committed for six weeks .with hard labour, and the gam bling implements would be destroyed. John Dunn was charged with stealing a silver watch, of the value of £2, from the person of a gentleman unknown. William Haywood, a young man in the employ of Mr. Gilby, wine merchant, Oxford-street, proved seeing the prisoner reach over and take a gentleman's watch. The gentleman called out that his watch was gone, and the prisoner im mediately started off. Witness pursued him, and saw him throw down the v.atch, and on being overtaken the prisoner was given into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the witness had acted very well in the matter. Prisoner was remanded. Walter John Meacham was charged with stealing 3s. from the person of G. Bath, in Hyde-park, and John Wilkins was charged with attempting to pick pockets, but as there were no prosecutor's in attendance they were dis charged. THAMES.

The pri soner had twice deserted his - wife and children previous to March, and be was directed by the Guardians of the Pop lar Union to ask for a conviction. Great numbers of mon had deserted their wives and children, and the expenses to nu had been employed the Union had been considerable. The prisoner, in defence, said that for some time lie had receivedabout t ut and could not send his wife any regular pay. Mr. Burcham —Could you send her any irregular pay ? The prisoner—Sometimes I could have done so—not the pota any to fields in Epping, pay lately. The prisoner was sentenced to six weeks' hard labour.
