MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCX, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market opened with the same appear ance of ease that has characterised it for the last few days. There is an abundance of floating capital, and first-class commercial bills are readily negociable on very moderate terms, the rates current being 2 2 4- per cent. A small sum of gold, amounting to £26,000, was recPired at, the bullion office of the Bank of Eng land yesterday. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 30 32, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 24 25. The traffic receipt ou the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the third week in June amounted to $90,825 against $131,316 in the cor responding period last year, showing a decrease of $40,491. The directors of the Port Phillip and Colonial Gold Mining Co. have received by telegram from Suez the following advices in anticipation of the Australian mail from their resident director, Mr. Bland, at Climes :—" Three weeks return for May, 3,500 tons ; crushed gelding 13 dwts. 17 grs. per ton. Remittance, £2,000. The return from the Bank of ,England for the week ending the 10th July gives the following re sults when compared with the previous week : Rest Publi c £3,318,341 ...

The amount of gold from abroad sent in during the week was £177,000, and, as the Payment of the dividends usually occasions a with drawal of about £400,000 in sovereigns, it appears from the present figures that a considerable influx must have taken place from the redundant internal circulation of coin. Subjoined is a comparison of the present position of the Bank of England and the price of Consols with the corresponding week of last year : flame week last year.

The notes in circulation have increased to the extent of £ 67 2,000, and the Treasury balance £20,000. The cash in hand has decreased £1,026,640; com mercial bills £80,000; private accounts, £1,540,000; and the advances £4,000. In the Mincing -lane markets during the last few days there has not been much animation. Sugars have been in very limited request, and, in some in stances, a shade lower. Coffee remained at steady While tallow has been without material change as regards values for present and forward delivery. The public sales of indigo, however, continue to proceed with considerable spirit, and rally s h ow prices gene an upward t en d ency. At the meeting held to-day of the Panama, New Zealand and Australian Royal Mail Company (Limit e d and the r eport stated that the Panama line had been worked at fair profit from the com mencement, consequently the loss with regard to the l ocal services is greatly reduced. The directors, h owever, said it was not in their power to recom mend a dividend for the past year, and they suggest to the shareholders that they should assent to the appropriation of the balance of £9,025 19s. in re duction of the loss sustained last year. With regard to the corn market at Birmingham Mr ' W . C. B. Cave st a t es as follows :—Weather doring the week h as b een most brilliant, with a igh range of temperature. Th e w h eat plant i n th i s district is generally in bl oom, an d looks exceedingly healthy, although in some fields rather thin on the ground. The bulk of the hay crop is now secure, and considered to be above an average. Root crops and pastures were wonderfully benefited by the late rain. The corn trade during the week has been influenced by fine weather, and also by liberal arrivals of foreign wheat, with more pressure to sell parcels of stained and sprouted English. At day's market, although th e supp l y o f fi ne En days wheat was small, it proved equal to the demand, and sold at fully last week's quotations. "We are requested to publish the annexed :—" The following advice has been received by the British and American Telegraph Company (Limited), from the l ion. P. Mitchell, one of the directors, and a member of the Cabinet of the Confederation of the Canadian States I have much pleasure in communicating to you the fact that I got a bill passed through our New Brunswick Legislature authorising the con struction of a telegraph line from point to point in our province, so as to communicate either with the United States, Nova Scotia, or Canada, which will place our line independent of existing lines." The company have also obtained, after considerable opposition, an act for Nova Scotia, conferring similar privileges. At posent. Two O'CLOCK.

The galleries, as well as the lateral aisles of the Floral-hall are to be set apart for spectators, the aisle being separated from the centre of the hall by low banks of planks and flowers. THE BELGIAN VOLUNTEERS. To-day our foreign friends visited the City of London, where they were entertained in the most sumptuous manner by the Lord Mayor. The at tention of our foreign visitors was riveted by the crowds of persons who assembled to greet them on their march, and altogether a scene—not, how ever, without some confusion—of the most ani mated description presented itself. Fleet street, St. Paul's Churchyard, and Cheapside were thronged to such an extent that all business pur poses were almost entirely put a stop to ; but, not withstanding this temporary inconvenience, the citizens generally showed their appreciation of the visit by the display of thousands of banners and flags from their windows and house tops, the Belgian colours, of course, preponderating over all the rest. The Belgians seemed in ecstacies with their recep tion, and returned the salutations they received with the greatest enthusiasm. THE SUN, LOiNi ON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1867..

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PICKPOCKETS AND THE BELGIAN VOLUNTEERS.—Two fellows, named Joseph Doughty and Henry Marsden, wore charged 'before Mr. Tyrwhitt with loitering in Coventry street, for the purpose of committing a felony. After some evidence had been given, Mr. Tyrwhitt said that everybody acquainted with the police courts must be aware of the fact that as soon as a body of foreigners arrived they were followed and hunted about by a parcel of the lowest follows. It was a disgrace that the Volunteers could not be here more than a few hours before they wore set upon by such• fellows as tho pri soners. That was the reception they met with on their arriving here. Ile should commit the prisoners for three months each, wirh hard labour. WESTMINSTER. THE BELGIAN VOLUNTEEnS.—E,hvard Sweeney, a youth between 17 and 18 years of age, was placed at the bar charged with the following itnpudmt robbery upon the occasion of the Belgians' debarcation ut Westmins.:er bridge. Major Henry Court, an aged gentleman, coining from Twyford, and a stranger iu London, said limit at a little after five yesterday afternoon he was going from Parlia ment-street to Westminster-bridge, when he was suddenly involved in a crowd of persons and robbed of a pair of silver eye glasses, which the prisoner afterwards threw away. William Lush, 1t)8 A, said he was on duty at Westmin ster-bridge when the Belgians were landing, and saw Major Court. Ile was suddenly surrounded by foar or five thieves, including the prisoner, who impudently went in front of him, and, taking the eye-glasses from his waist coat pocket, broke them from a stout riband to which they were attached. "Witness seized him, when ho throw the glasses down, and then kicked them from him. Prisoner—lt's all a mistake—the gentleman takes mo for somebody else that has robbed him. I ain't guilty, upon my soul. Of course it is easy to make a mistake. Lush said the prisoner had some trouble to break the riband, it was so strong. In doing so he had bent the eye-glasses. Prisoner was fully committed for trial. AQUATIC 3. THE SAILING BARGE MATCH. The extensive popularity of the sailing barge regatta was fully demonstrated on Thursday by the extraordinary number of persons congregated to witness the event. There wore no fewer than seven steamers accompanying the race filled with company, and besides these Lord de Ros in his Mabel, and a vast number of other yachts belonging to gentlemen of different clubs. The following wore entered: —Topsail Barges, not exceeding 50 tons register —lst prize, £lB cup to the owner, £lO 10s. to the crow; 2d prize, .£l2 cup to the owner, £5 ss. to the crew ; 3d prize, £8 cup to the owner, £3 3s. to the crew.

ARRIVAL OF THE SMATAN, (THIS DAY.) DOVER, , Tuly 12. The Sultan arrived here in the Impk Irial yacht La Leine Hortense at a quarter to 11 this morning, and was received by his Royal Highness tl le Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the Viceroy of Egypt, and Staff. The fleet in the bay salt ited and manned yards. His Majesty proceeded to the Lord WArden llotel, where an address w.as pres,tnted by the Mayor and Corporation. _ _ _ T train with the; illustrious party left , for London at half-past 12. CHARING-CROSS STATION. This afternoon the Sultan arrived in London. Ilis Royal Highness the Prince of Wales left town early this morning for Dover, to welcome his High ness to England. Grand preparations were made at the Charing-cross Station of the South-Eastern Railway to receive his Highness with becoming state. The spacious station was eligibly decorated with flags and evergreens, and vast galleries filled with elegantly dressed ladies gave a special charm to the exciting scene. The floral display within the station was most beautiful, and the taste that had designed and carried into effect the whole of this part of the imposing proceeding was worthy the highest praise. At the upper end of the platform where it was arranged the royal carriage was to stop, WAS covered with scarlet carpetting, and vast pyramids of flowers were placed at either end, giving, the whole a most picturesque and charming appear ance. The Grenadiers formed the guard of honour, under the command of Col. Dudley Carleton and the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), under the com mand of Col. 'Williams, attended to escort his High ness to Buckingham Palace. At a quarter before two six of her Majesty's state carriages drove into the station, and at a quarter to three the royal train arrived, and his Highness the Sultan, on alighting, was received with tromendous cheers and every demonstration of respect. Having acknowledged the salutations of the company his Highness entered an open carriage and proceeded to Buckingham Palace. The arrangements for the reception of the Sultan at Charing-cross, were, thanks to the untiring spirit and energy of Mr. Cockburn, the general superin tendait of the company, perfect in every particular, and the satisfactory manner in which the whole of the ceremonial went off must have been as gratify ing to him as it was pleasant to a large and brilliant company that found ample accommodation within the spacious station. MARIE TS. —This day. MARK LANE. Although the supply of English wheat on sale here to day was limited the demand for all kinds ruled very in active. However, in the few sales effected, Monday's prices were supported. The quantity of foreign wheat offering was moderately extensive. Fine dry samples were held at full quota tions; but inferior kinds wore quite neglected. Floating cargoes of grain ruled about stationary. Both English and foreign barley were in short supply, and moderate request, at full prices. Malt was in good supply, and steady request, on former terms. The show of oats was large. Good sound corn realised full quotations, but damp parcels wore a slow inquiry, at barely late rates. Beans and peas wore held on former terms. The supply was very limitei. The flour trade was somewhat heavy ; but no decline took place in the quotations. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barloy. Malt. Oats. Flour.

His journey to England will only strengthen this impression. Should the impression remain, it will exercise, let us hope, a happy influence over the future acts of his government. Fuad Pasha, moreover, in all his interviews with the politicians who have had relations with him during his stay in Paris, has constantly repeated that the journey of his sovereign would have tho best effect upon the emancipation of the East." Meeting of Middlesex Magistrates. A meeting of the county magistrates was held yes terday for the transaction of county business. Mr. kemshead was called to the chair pro tem. There was a numerous attendance of magistrates. ELECTION OF CHAIR3IAN. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Kemshead) said the first business they had to transact was of a very pleasing character, namely, the e le c tion of a chair man of the sessions until the c oun t y d a y o f next July quarter sessions. He had no d ou bt in his own mind who that chairman would b e , for they bad had that gentleman's service s f or ma ny years, and, doubt less, he would be re- e l ec t e d that day. Mr. ARMSTRONG said he bad much pleasure in proposing the name of Mr. Pownall as their chair man for the ensuing year. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. PowNALL then took the chair amid loud ap plause, and, in returning thanks for the compliment that had been paid him, said he had always felt great pleasure in fulfilling, or attempting to fulfil, the duties which the office involved. THE COUNTY AND LUNATIC RATES. The next business was to make an ordinary county rate, and a rate under the lunatic asylum. Mr. KEAISIIEAD s a id h e had to ask for a some what heavy county ra t e thi s ti m e, in order to meet the necessary expens es ; an d he would therefore move that a rate of three farthings in the pound be lima for the county rate, and one halfpenny in the pound for the lunatic rate. This was approved. HOUSE OF CORRECTION, COLDBATTI-FIELDS. The report of the committee of visiting justices was read, from which it appeared that the number of prisoners in custody was 1,691, consisting of— felons, 1,033 ; misdemeanants, 509 ; vagrants, 149. Corporal punishment had been inflicted upon pri soners for offences against prison discipline in five cases. 'The visiting justices' report was that the priz soners in custody at the .ci House of C orrec ti on were 0 completedln six years' service. e was highly . satisfac tclr3v,. and The h h and, his duties being increased, it w as recommended 2te governora t tli e pri s hadon d s that his salary be raised from £350 to £4OO, from Midsummer last. . This was agreed to. ADMISSION OF ROMAN CATHOLICS TO THE PRISON. Mr. GLOSSOP moved the admission of Roman Catholics to the prison. Mr. Sergeant PAY NE, in an amendment, moved that the court , by the o p inions of counsel, was o f p s la i c ; e, it, 60. and against the numbers were— opinion that the celebration of ma ss ought not to be permitted wit hin the count y p ris on. Th e o riginal moti on was carri ed. THE CO NDITION OF THE SESSIONS-HOUSE. for A tl d le ilrisio amendment,ntooic Lieutenant-Colonel JEAKES moved that the sub ject be referred to the Committee of Accounts, for them to report their opinion thereon. The motion was agreed to, and the proceedings then terminated. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET—This Day. The market opens steady. Sales probably 10,000 baled. NEAVGATII AND LE.A.DENIIALL.

In a late number we gave an account of the application of petroleum as a moans of generating steam for propel ling vessels, for which purpose the United States steamship Palos was fitted with the necessary apparatus. We now give the account of the trial trip, taken from the Boston Advertiser of the 15th June : The Palos left her dock at the navy yard at ten minutes before 11 o'clock, and returned to it shortly before one. When she had been out fifteen minutes it was found that she was moving through the water at a rate of over eleven and a half miles an hour, and she was gaining steadily with thirty-eight pounds of steam, having - started with thirty-five pounds. This fact caused considerable sur prise on board when it was shown that, under the coal as fuel system, upon its first trial trip, when the vessel was new, its best time was only eight knots an hour, and that it had not made better time than eight and a half since until now. It was further clearly demonstrated to the intensely interested passengers that the Palos was in very poor trim, that her bow stood up from the water and her stern was planted down; that she dragged dead water and in several other respects was not all right, and therefore that the rate of speed under the circumstances was rather extraordinary. The vessel went down the harbour past the forts and islands, and out to sea a short distance beyond Boston Light, and then returned by a somewhat circuitous route. The first 48 minutes she made over eleven and a half miles, and ran upon the entire trip twenty-five miles in 1 hour and 55 minutes. With her action and the success of the experiment there was general satisfaction among the passengers, and much enthusiasm was shown by the scientific gentlemen. The Palos, which made this novel trip, is a small gun boat, and formerly used four coal fires, and had a crew of twenty firemen and coal passers. With the petroleum apparatus she requires a crow of only th and me n , as the supply of fuel is easil y regulated, ci ders or ashes are made. Th e petroleum is supplied from two large iron tanks placed on deck, each tank having a glass gauge at its side to indicate the height of the petro leum, and a vent pipe upon the top to permit the escape of vapour. From these tanks the petroleum is conducted by halt-inch pipes to the boiler furnace. It there drops into iron retorts, heated by boi lers p laced beneath them, mixed a nd is instantly vapourised. This vapour, in burping, is with steam, decomposed by passing through the pipes partially filled with iron filin g s, and with oxygen sup on air plied by atmospheric air, forced in by a comm enera ted is inte ns e, and it is a pump. Tho heat thus g noticeable fact the combustion is so perfect that nor o smoke is perceptible. A dim inution of the supply of air steam at once creates a smoke. Her engiue is about 850-horse power. This initial voyage will be followed by several othersbe so as to completely te st the inve n tion. Should it .d will found to be all that promises, undoubtedly it of propelling create a revolution iu tho manner mac hines. The s t eam ers and locomotives, and such advantages of petroleum as fuel overcoal are appa rent. For, the t ri p yesterday about four barrels of oil wore used; the captain of the boat declares that some six or eight tons of coal would have been consumed in the same work. A large amount of coal would have been required to start the fires, and much would have been wasted when the sail was moment. as the heat was until the last When it was kept well up given out yesterday that the fires wore needed no longer, by simply turning two or three throttle valves the flames were extinguished, and in a few minute's time tho fires were down. Of course there wore no ashes and no dirt, and tho fire-room was as clean as could be, and the neat carpet with which the floor was covered was not soiled in the least. Colonel Henry B. Foote, of Tennessee, the inventor, superintended the work in the . fire-room, which was ex ceedingly light and not disagreeable, and Engineers C. W. Penningteu and Ileary W. Scott had charge 9i the engine. Shire 43/ 3 / I 1S 5 4 1 i ; Iff I:2fgil 751 7 4511 e 1211 k 1141 15 111 THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLoci. KINTBURY STAKES. Irwoll Woodpecker Five ran.

The Earl Grey, Earl Granville, and other noble lords took part. MEETINGS IN ROYAL PARKS BILL. The Earl of DERBY said that the pressure of important business had been so great that they had not been able to bring in a bill on this subject, but that they would very sbortly do so, and he, therefore, asked his noble friend (Lord Redesdale) to postpone his motion. Lord REDESDALE, after commenting on postponeort ance of the question being settled, agreed to the motion. CHRIST CHURCH (OXFORD) ORDINANCES BILL. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY moved the second reading of this bill, and said that, though it was a local question, it was a most important one. After a few other unimportant remarks, the Bill was read a second time. CONSECRATION OF CHURCHYARDS BILL. On the motion for the report of amendments on this bill to be received, it was agreed to. LEFT SITTINGI. HOUSE OF COMMONS—TuII DAT. The Speaker took the chair at two o'clock. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. On the bringing up of the report of the committee on this bill a discussion took place on various matters of detail, none of which involved any particular point of importance in the bill, and the consideration of the clause conferring the franchise on lodgers. Mr. BOUVERIE made a somewhat lengthy statement, the effect of which was that ho considered it inexpedient to confer the franchise on persons in such a position. The result, however, was that the amendment of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which was merely to clearly define that lodgers should be of full age and subject to no legal incapacity before they should be entitled to vote, was agreed to. Mr. TAYLOR moved an amendment to the clause, the effect of which was to secure the vote to lodgers changing their place of residence. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he w as of opinion that the proposal would be inexpedient because it went to the extent of giving the vote t) lodgers in suc cession. The proposed amendment was rejected. Mr. AYRTON moved the following addition to clause s:—" Where, after the 29th day of September next, any premises in any borough are lot for a less period than one year, or the rent reserved in respect thereof is made payable at any shorter period than three months, tho owner as well as the occupier shall be rated to the relief of the poor, and shall be liable to pay the rates in respect thereof, with out prejudice to any contract between the owner and oc eupierregardiug their liability as between theinselves receiving to tho the payment of such rates. The person rent of any premises front the occupier or occupiers thereof on his own account, or as agent or receiver for any corporation or person under disability interested therein, shall, for the purpose s aforesaid be deomed and be rated as the owner of the premises." The hon. gentleman said the object in doing so was to prevent the o wner of premises suc h as he described of making such an arrangement as to letting them for defiance s a l t iorterer the than one year, whereby he could utterly set rate fe collector.red wwith the otfhtehcelafruasne franchise.

Yesterday afternoon an accident occurred near the signal post at Battersea-bridge, ou the London Chatham, and Dover Railway, bywhich sixteen of the passengers were injured. The train, con sisting of eight or ten carriages, left the Victoria, Station at 2.5 p.m., on the down line. It pro_ ceeded on its journey till it arrived . at the °filer side of Battersea-bridge, when by some unknown circumstance the back portion of the.: train separated from the test, and one carriage was thrown over upon its side on the level of the lower Dine. The engine with tbree or four carriages kept on the line ; but the following car riages running off, struck against the parapet, and on the strain of the engine to pull them forward the coupling chain broke. The train consisted of firnt, second, and third-class carriages. It was found that several of the passengers, amounting to 16, were injured, and they were at once conveyed back to tlre, Victoria Station, where they were attended by medi.cal men. Fortunately at present no loss of life h'. 6 oc curred, and most of the injured passengers wr,re sent in cabs and other conveyances to their 11=4es. Dr. Duncan Smith, of 32, Upper Belgrave-place, accom panied by his assistant, Mr. Wilson, were imme diately on the spot on arrival of the sufferers, as also Mr. S. Sonny, the surgeon attached to the company. They examined the wounds and injuries of the pam. sengers, and the officials of the company, with mil , kindness, despatched them to their homes. One lady, however, was conveyed to the Grosvenor Hotel, and was placed in bed, and two ()tiler pas sengers were conveyed to St. George's Hospital, where they remain under the care of Mr. F. M. Sims, the house surgeon. The following is a list of the passengers who sustained injury :—Miss Ludlow, staying at the Grosvenor Hotel ; wound on arm from broken glass.
