MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGBNCB, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the general Discount Market there is rather more demand, and the rates are firmer at 2k I. In the Stock Exchange there is also more demand, and the rates for loans on Government Securities is fully 2 per cent. No gold operations took place on Saturday at the Bank of England. _ _ _ In the Opinione Nationale of this day we see it stated that the Cabinets of Paris and Berlin have been exchanging notes on the question of the neu tralisation of Mayence, under certain conditions. The concession, adds the French journal, on the put of Prussia, will simplify greatly a situation which is yet full of uneasiness. The accounts from the manufacturing districts state that during the past week there has been very little animation iu most departments of busi ness. At Manchester sales of cloths and yarns could only be effected at reduced prices, while at Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, the chief inquiries were for woollen goods, although manufacturers evince no disposition to force sales. In the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham there has been rather more activity, but dullness and inactivity has prevailed in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, and many of the establishments have been working short time. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 31 33, and the Consolidated Morgage Bonds at 25 26. The directors of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company have issued a report of the company's financial connection with the contrac tors, Messrs. Peto and Company. They affirm, incredible though it may seem, that the result of an investigation is that Messrs. Peto owe the com pany no less a sum than £6,661,941 19s. ld. They, however, make the important qualification that they have calculated the stock issued to this firm at par, whereas some of it is known to have been issued in the market at 27} per cent. only. The directors, however, state that they leave the contractors to prove a different result. It appears that the Im perial Mercantile Credit Association, now in liqui dation, claims £135,000, for which the directors say there is "no foundation." The General Credit and Discount Company claim £160,000, which the directors say cannot be sustained. Two O'CLOCK. The English Stock Market this morning opened firm at the closing prices of Saturday last, but less firmness was apparent, without any ostensible reason except a few sales, and a decline has taken place to the extent of I per cent., the latest prices being 94 for money and 941 1 for the account. The New Threes are 931, Reduced Annuities 93 a, Exchequer Bills for March 265. prem., and for June 20s. prem. ; India 5 per Cents. 1081 109, ditto Enfaced 4 per Cents., 86 f ; and ditto 5k per Cents., 1081. The Foreign Stock Market values present very little change of importance. Mexican are un changed at 161 ; Spanish Passives at 23i 241; Certificates at 1411 ; Greek at 151 4 ; Turkish 5 per Cents. at 331 1 ; and Chilian scrip at 1 prem ; but Italian have advanced 1, to 52/ I ; and Russian Scrip declined i to / 14 prem. In the Railway Share Market business has been rather inactive, and a further decline has been established. Great Eastern has receded 11, Great Western North Western t, Midland 11, N. E. Berwick 1, and South Eastern t Foreign and Colonial Railway Shares have re mained very inactive, at about previous rates. Miscellaneous and Finance Shares are without material change in values. Atlantic Telegraph 8 per Cents., being dealt in at 881 90 ; General Credit at 5 13-16ths ; Telegraph Construction and Maintenance at 161 ; and Fare-street Warehouse at 13. Bank shares are dull. London and Westminster are marked 106 106 k; Alliance, 15f ; London Joint- Stock, 43f ; and Union of London, 39} 40. American Securities are in some instances slightly improved. Erie Shares are i better, at 39 40 ; and Illinois - 4 1 , at 79f ; but American 5-20 Bonds have declined if, to 72; 73. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 31 33, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 25 26. MINING MARKET.

This morning the election of Sheriffs of London and Middlesex took place at the Guildhall at one o'clock. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair. After the usual formal preliminaries had been gone through, the Lord Mayor briefly introduced the object for which the Corporation and Livery men had assembled, viz., the election of sheriffs for London and Middlesex. Mr. GEO. MOORE said that he had groat pleasure in proposing Mr. Alderman Stone as one of the sheriffs. Mr. JONES, in an eulogistic speech, seconded the proposal. Mr. GEo. MOORE then proposed Mr. M'Arthur, citizen and spectacle maker, as the other sheriff for the ensuing year. Mr. JAMES SPICER, in seconding this nomina tion, remarked that Mr. M'Arthur had always dis tinguished himself as an advocate for the rights and privileges of the City of London. Mr. JONES would wish to ask Mr. M'Arthur, as it had lately been the custom, to decry the privileges of the Corporation whether he was prepared to uphold their ancient rights and privileges, and in case of any subject of dispute to support them. Mr. M'ARTIIUR said, in reply, that he had alway s been the staunch supporter of their rights and privi leges, and should maintain the integrity of the loyal and ancient corporation of the city of London to the utmost. (Loud cheers.) It was then announced that the election of Sheriffs for the ensuing year had fallen upon Mr. Alderman Stone and Wm. M'Arthur, Esq. (Loud cheers.) After speeches returning thanks from these gen tlemen, and a vote of thanks to the Lord .Mayor, the election terminated. MR. AYRTON. Mr. Ayrton is a curious example of the power of immense Parliamentary knowledge and lucid busi ness-capacity, apparently without, any higher qualities, and in spite of some very disagreeable ones, to raise a man in the House of Commons. He has now been ten years in the house, and session by session he becomes evidently more powerful there, though certainly not more popular. And yet he never makes an eloquent or hearty speech. He is always giving needless and bitter offence. He is not trusted, for he flirts with both parties, and only the other day, after he had secured for the Tower Hamlets, and for the West-end the additional representation for which, as a metropli tan member, he was bound to contend, voted against Mr. Laing's motion to give additional re presentation to the other great cities. Mr. Disraeli, too, has taken to complimenting him, which is always a dangerous sign. And yet though his Liberalism is ambiguous, and his political temper is of the worst, nobody doubts now that if a new Liberal Government were to come in before he had done anything to break with the Liberal party, he would be included in the next Liberal Ministry, not perhaps as a Cabinet Minister, but in an office of some importance. And yet no man is more generally disliked in the house. In some respects he is a sort of bourgeois Lord Westbury. Though without his superfine manner and without his wide abstract intellect, Mr. Ayrton not unfrequently reminds observers of Parliament of Sir R. Bethell's wound ing little speeches on questions of detail, and of the absolute manner in which he laid down the law for those who were his inferiors in knowledge. Of course Mr. Ayrton has not the tone of serene elevation which gave to Sir R. Bethell's man ner so much of its special character. There is almost always heat in his style, even when he is most satirical, and there is never an approach to heat in Lord Westbury. Mr. Ayrton has not the air of a god descended into human de bate, and consequently his bitterness is sometimes savagery, and has even a shade of vulgarity. There are signs of inflammation, of " proud flesh," in his manner. He seems to apply to others the biting caustic which would be most salu tary for himself. The sardonic tone seldom quite deserts him, and it is closely connected with that lucidity of understanding, and that complete mastery of a great range of detail on all political subjects, which is apt to feed self-confidence, and has, in all probability, actually fed it in Lord West bury and Mr. Ayrton alike. Of course, as a mere lawyer, Mr. Ayrton has no claim to intellectual greatness. He has not devoted himself to the law since his entrance into Parliament, but has devoted his whole powers to Parliamentary business. It is only in a certain measure of intel lectual arrogance and self-confidence, partly legiti mate in both, that Mr. Ayrton resembles Lord Westbury. There is nothing Olympian about the former. In the very bitterness of his most scornful remarks, he proclaims himself a creature of like pas sions with ourselves. In short, the resemblance we have suggested is only sufficient to mark the greater difference. Lord Westbury has a wide spe culative intellect ; Mr. Ayrton apparently one rather specially averse to large and theoretic questions. Lord Westbury's cynicism arises from deeply rooted intellectual contempt for understandings poorer than his own; Mr. Ayrton's from impatient intolerance of understandings slower and clumsier than his own, Lord Westbury loves to dissect, where Mr. Ayrton only scarifies. The latter never lays bare the theoretic backbone even of a blunder, but only brands it with a drop of vitriol as heMr. passes. has hitherto kept, and may yet keep, What to Ayrton hasback en a want first t n f breadthk aoParliamentary for detail, a too great addiction to the mint and rn o f f intellect, anise and cumin of Parliamentary business. For Mr. Ayrton, with all his remarkable ability, is entirely wanting in both broad political principles and popular feelings. He seems to have some of that impatience of both, which men of great concrete powers and an extraordinary range of special in formation so ofen evince.—Spectator. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKE7—This Day. The market opens quiet at Saturday's rates. Sales probably 8,000 or 10,000 bales. GIFT TO TILE TOWN OF DFIIIIY.—On Saturday afternoon last Mr. M. T. Bass, who fur 20 years has been ono of the members for Derby, presented a public re creation ground to the inhabitants. It consists of six acres, and is situate on the banks of the Derwent, on the east side of Derby, being part of the Holmes, and is not distant more than 500 yards from tho Market-place. THE VETERAN ACTOR LEMAITRE, who played Robert Macaire at the Olympic Theatre in London, 30 years ago, is still on tho boards in Paris and draws on the Boulevards. Gill, tho great caricaturist of the Lane, lately asked him for his autograph to lithograph at the foot of a charge of him which he proposed to publish. M. Lemaitre's answer, now to be seen in all the shopwindows, is original and touching. Tie says, " Lune—Caricature youtig people; Tim does tho work for the old," rnE SUN.

MARK LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday was very quiet. The supplies of produce on offer wore only moderate, but millers operated with ex treme caution. Prices in nearly all instances ruled firm. The trade for barley, oats, beans, and peas was steady, at full quotations. Flour moved off slowly, at late prices. On the Continent the trade for wheat is very quiet, with a downward movement in the quotations. At New York both wheat and flour are very dull, at a considerable de cline in prices. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English produce were small. The imports from abroad comprised 23,070 quarters of wheat, 9,726 barley, 62,511 oats, 3,430 beaus, 1-10 peas, 692 tares, 2,614 linseed, 4,052 rape and oilseeds, 6,146 maize, and 6,311 sac ks o f flour. The supply of Engish wheat on sale here to-day was very moderate. Owing to the fiw-ness of the weather, and the good importation of foreign wheat and flour, the trade was vary quiet, with signs of depression. No quot able change took place in prices, but a downward move ment was decidcd!y apparent. With foreign wheat the market was moderately- sup plied. The trade was in a most inactive state for all de scriptions, and very little business was transacted. The quotations were without material variation as compared with Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request at late prices. Oats, of which there was an increased supply on offer, were less active. Russian qualities, ex ship, wore about 6d per qr. cheaper. The supply of barley on sale was very moderate. For grinding and distilling qualities there was a firm, but by no means active demand, at last Monday's currency. Malt was dull, and being a considerable supply was rather pressed for sale. Hence prices bad rather a drooping tendency. The demand for flour was in a sluggish state at late rates. In the seed market nothing of importance transpired, and no change took place in prices.

About an average supply of foreign stock was on sale hero to-day, in very middling condition. As regards the primest descriptions of beef and mutton, the trade was steady at full prices. Inferior qualities, however, sold slowly, at about late rates. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were to a very moderate extent ; but their general quality and condition were tolerably prime. The receipts from Scotland were confined to about ninety head. The attendance of butchers was again limited, and the beef trade was slow. Prices, however, were firm, and in some instances were rather higher than on Monday last. Prime Scots and crosses realised 5s 4d to 5s 6d per Blbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, EiSOX, and Cambridgeshire we r eceived 1,520 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses. From other parts of England, including Lincolnshire, 700 of various breeds; and from Scotland 91 Scots and crosses. The supply of sheep is the pens was very moderato. The quality of the stock was only middling. For nearly all breeds there was a steady demand at the full prices o Monday last. Prime Downs and half-brods realised 5s 4d per 81bs. Lambs wore in good supply, but prime descriptions wore scarce, and realised 7s per Blbs. Middling qualities, how ever, were very dull, awl were chiefly disposed of at 6s 4d per 81bs. The quotation for lamb remains at Gs to 7s per 8 lbs. Calves, the supply of which was v. , ry mod rate, moved off slowly at late rates. Top price 5s 6d per Blbs.

VICTORIA CLUB BETTING.---This pity. The betting to-day was particularly on the Northumberland Plate ; the doings, howerfer, were remarkably conflicting. Lady Vane, aftkr being in great demand at the lists during the morning, was so freely speculated on that, after 3 to 1 had been accepted to some hundreds, 5 to 2 was the highest price obtainable. This singularly enough had no depressing effect on Fervacques, who was kindly supported at 2to 1. Vixen colt was out of request, though 11 to 2 was taking price ; 1,000 to 500 was offered on three agst the field, but with out finding a taker, the race evidently being looked on as a " moral" for one of them.

Target took Rama and Blinkhoolio a nice mile and three quarters gallop at three parts speed. The Hermit walked and trotted, but Bertie, Out-and- Outer, Tempest, Problem, the Raven, and others galloped a mile and a half steadily. Musician led The Rake a little over a mile, going very slowly. Dalesman took Restitution, Suffolk, and North Marston a mile. Ilippia went a mile and a quarter by herself. Lothario galloped a mile and three quarters, and Tourmalin did over that. Friponnier, Knight arrant, and Sceur de Charite were in slow work, and Lord Glasgow's team took it easy. Our Chelmsford and Ipswich horses are fit, and we shall scud a great many. STOCKBRIDGE. Most of our horses have been walking and trot ting only since the races here ; but they are sure to commence working again in a day or two. Vauban is all right. Lecturer has had a dose of physic. FINDON. The Vixen colt is very fit, but he is not a game 'un. Gilead and Pakrita went a rare good gallop of a couple of miles early this morning, and the filly must be dangerous for the Goodwood Stakes, for she moves so freely and goes so strong. Mistletoe has done good work of late. Ulphus and Foresight are both forward. MARLBOROUGH. Savernake is still an absentee. Staghound and Bradamante are bowling along beautifully, and look uncommonly well. Dulcimer galloped over two miles to-day, led by Pintail. Captain Kidd, the two Mayouaisc fillies, Pepper's Ghost, and the Splitvote colt galloped a mile and a half. Over ture led Dulcet and Franchise over a mile.

In answer to a question from the Earl of KI➢IBERLEY, The Earl of DERBY said that there had beau nume rous propositions as to the lines of railway in Ireland, and it had been referred to several committees of gentlemen on both sides of the question, and it was therefore evident that the utmost fairness had been exercised in the matter. After a few other remarks, the subject dropped. • ESTABLISHED CHURCH IN IRELAND. The EARL RUSSELL :moved for a return of all matters connected with the Established Church in Ireland especially as concerned its revenue, and said that he did so with a great deal of responsibility, .for he knew that already they had a great question before them. Ho would not ask them to consider it this session ; but the object of his motion was to prepare their minds for the discussion of this anomalous question in the next session. It might be urged that the Church of England in Ireland was a great advantage to the country, but still there were not many facts to be adduced in opposition to the enforcement of the Liturgy of the Church of England. Through many years had there been such an enforcement, and in the time of King Wm. he accepted the Crown of England on condition that no bishops should be en f orce d upon the country of Scotland. iho consequence had been that order had been preserved in that country, and we now saw the wis dom of William the Third and Lord Somers in their administration in that country. He now came ta the condition of the kindred kingdom of Ireland, where even now distraction prevailed, through the fact that the same wise regulation had not been carried out there. It struck him that, if every farthing could be obt a i ne d t h at might from that establishment, it would not give satisfaction to the Irish people. The noble earl then aninadverted upon the enforcement of any Established Church in Ire land. He would direct their attention to what was said on the subject. Mr. Grattan had said that unless there was given some concession in Ireland there would never be anyquietude and Sir Robert Peel, whose clear mind almost instinctively grasped the question, said that there would be no peace or harmony till such concession was made. It had been stated that there were two religious hierarchies in lrellnd, the one which represented the minority, the other the majority, and would it ever be feasible that the two should amalgamate ? Would the one which was ex cluded, and yet was an aspiring rival, be likely to tolerate the other ? It was evident from the tone of the Irish that the prophecy which Sir Robert Peel uttered in 1817 was confirmed in May, 1867. Was it to be won dered at that when men said that one portion of the popu lation bad all the temporalities to their own Church, and they had none, that they should be dissatisfied. It was with the people of Ireland a sentimental wrong. [LEFT SPEAKING. HOUSE OF COMMONS-THIS EVENING. The SPEAICEB, took the chair at four o'clock. NEW WRIT. A new writ was ordered to issue for North Lancashire to elect a member in the place of Col. Wilson Patten, who has, since his election, accepted the office of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. RAILWAY DEPOSITS. On the motion of Mr. DODSON, tho following resolu tion was agreed to: " That a select committee be appointed to join with the select committee appointed by the House of Lords, as mentioned in the said message, to consider the act 9 and 10 Vic., c. 20, and the standing orders of both houses iu relation to Parliamentary deposits, and the com pletion of railways within a pt ascribed time, and to report what alterations it is expedient to make therein for the present and for the ensuitig session." ATTEMPTED BRIBERY OF A MAGISTRATE. Mr. tiORRISON asked the Secretary to the Treasury if George Edward Gurney, who was convicted at the Central Criminal Court on June 11, of attempting to obtain a licence to sell spirits by (.ffering a bribe to the chairman of the Kensington division of magistrates, was-in receipt of any pcsion from the Gover,.ment • and whether it was the intention of the Commissioners ef Excise to continue his present licence to sell beer by retail? Mr. HUNT said Gurticy had been a police constab!e, and was pensioned in 1848, which was liable to be for feited in the event of a conviction for any indictable of fence, but there was a discretion v e st e d in the Home Secretary. It was competent in the Commissioners of Excise to claim its forfeiture or to decline to renew the licence if application was made as directed. STORM WARNINGS. _ _ Colonel SYKES asked the Vice-President of the Board of trade whether the Meteorological Committee of the Royal Society find it practicable to renew the storm warn ings, as heretofore practised by the Meteorological Depart ment of the Board of Trade. Mr. CAVE said the Committee of the Royal Society declined to prognosticate the changes in the weather. They proposed, however, to supply telegraphic intelli gence of the following description:—" Storms from the west, Penzance, hoist signals," provided the expenses were defrayed by the parties to whom the information was sent. STREET ROBBERIES. Captain GROSVENOR asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he was aware that fre quent robberies of plants and flowers from the windows of houses in South Belgravia have recently taken place dur ing the night; and whether he did not think that it was attributable to negligence on the part of the police in the performance of theirduties ? Mr. HARDY said he was not able to say the that rob beries alluded to was to be attributed to the negligence of the police. There had been notices of two robberies of plants from windows, but the police had made two arrests, though not the two he had mentioned. Under these cir cumstances he did not think the police were to blame. (Hear, hear.) ARREST OF A SICK DEBTOR. Mr. C. GILPIN asked the Attorney-General if his atten tion had been called to a case recently reported in the public papers of the violent removal of a debtor, Wil liam Watson, aged 72 years, from his residence for debt, when in the last stage of consumption, and when the certificate of a physician was shown to the sheriff's officer stating that Watson could only be removed at the risk of his life • to the fact that the—said Watson was for cibly taken to 'Horsemonger-lane Gaol, and died almost immediately after his admission; and asked if the law of England authorises a sheriff's officer thus to remove a dying man ia the face of such a protest on the part of a duly qualified physician ? The AT TORN EY GENERAL said the law of England did not justify the officer in removing the person under the circumstances the hon. member had detailed. The Sheriff was in a position of difficulty in the matter, be cause if the debtor recovered and escaped, the Sheriff would be liable ; but this being the case, the law of the land did not justify the sick debtor's removal. If the house gave its sanction to the Bankruptcy Bill, no repetition of these transactions could occur: (Hear, hear.) BRITISH CONSULATE AT SAIGON. Mr. VANDERBYL asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if any steps had been taken with a view of establishing a British Consulate at Saigon, Cochin China, at present under the Government of France ? Lora STANLEY replied in the negative. • THE POSTAGE OF LETTERS. Mr. CHILDERS asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether there would be any objection, as an experime t r during the remainder of the sessio n, to despatch from d post-office in the lobby, at 7.45 p.m., asbcaogtlawntd,halnetteti bearing two extra stamps, for Ireland, northern and midland counties of England, in time for the closing of the letter box at Euston-square railway station. Mr. HUNT said an arrangement was in progress in the matter referred to, but it went the length of a general measure; as matters were not complete ho would defer for the present moving the question. (Hear, hear.) THE BIRMINGHA RIOTS. Mr. ITORSMAN said he wished to know whether the Government had received any information on the sub ject of the part the volunteers took during the late riot at Birmingham. He understood that Major Ratcliff had forwarded a communication to the Secretary of War, and he thought it was only just to that gentleman that the purport of his communication should be made known. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he thanked the hon. member for thus affording him an opportunity of doing an act of justice to Major Ratcliff. (Rear, hear.) Ile had first to say that it had transpired tlett the paragraph in the Times was entirely etruneous. Major Ratcliff, without waiting for any communication from the War-office without the least delay, at (Awe waited upon him and stated the whole of the steps that hart been taken. It appeared that there is a large room at Birmingham, called Bingley and amongst other purposes for which that place was used was a store for the arms of the Birmingham volunteers, which was one of the largest corps at present formed. It was in consequence of a communication from. the magistrates that it would be of the highest importance that these arms should be properly guarded. He would give a portion of the letter of Major Ratcliff—it stated that. on receiving the intimation from the magistrates Major Ratcliff took with him about 110 of the volunteers, not even in uniform, to guard the arms, which amounted to over 1,200 rifles. He was on duty day and night, and never quitted the place until he was quite certain all was perfectly safe and secure. Whilst there Major Ratcliff was applied to by a Roman Catholic priest for assistance, but he told hint be could not give him any, as he had but one duty to perform. The rev. gentleman urged as a reason that his chapel might be attacked, but Major Ratcliff told him it was impossible for him, in his character of major of volunteers, to give him the assistance required. Major Ratcliff, in his (Sir J. Pakington's) opinion, did no more on the occa sion than was strictly his duty. (Hear.) REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. The hoire then weut into committee on this bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in refe •ence to The motion, which had occasioned som e observa ioue the other evening —viz., the appointment 91 the ' Boundary Commissioners, said the Government had recon sidered the matter, and proposed that the Commission should, be constituted as follows: —Lord Eversion the Record•Jr, Sir F. Crossley, Sir J. Duckworth, and Mr. Walters. it might be said that the arrangement gave three Liberals to two Conservatives, but he had not been animated in the endeavour to secure the most efficient means by party views. (Hear, hear.) The consideration of the clauses of the Reform Bill was, then resumed. On clause 40 being proposed an amendment was moved, to the effect that no person should givo more than, one vote for any one place in respect of the possession of, more than the qualification. The amendment was ul.cimatey agreed to, although the division bell had been rung, and a great number of members had made their appe..irance. Mr. I IARDCASTLE moved another arnemunent to the same clause, With a view of enabling him to introduce words disfranchising "freemen." Mr. LEEMAN oC7jected to this amendment, and raid he had until that time believed the bill was one for exteudin. 2 the franchise, aid not di m i u i s hi nA it. (Hear, herx.) Yet now it was imposed to disqualify "Ireerion" although the bill gave the franchise to the owner of every small hovel, and to a lodger who paid 4s. a-week. .fe eon _ tended that the "freent.w," whose associations of a life time had been connected with some particular. boroughs, was more entitled to a vote than the occupier of a eclair in. some of our towns. The amendment proposed wits a most important one, because there were 9U places and 40,00 U persons who would be affected by it. [LEFT :PEAKING.] AMERICA. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF PARIS. NEW YORK, June 15, 3.15 p.m. Surratt's trial was resumed on the 13th instant, but Judge Fisher was unable to attend, and the othr j r justice was unwilling to proceed with the case.

The siege of the capital was progressing slo.d y . 10,000 troops from Queretaro had arrived to rein-. 'orce the attacking party.

OUTRAGES IN THE PARK.—Sophia Gallard and Sarah Jones, two miserably-clad young women, were charged before Mr. Knox with wandering abroad in Hyde-park, without visible means of sub sistence. Police-constable John Farrier, 629 A, said that about a quarter to 1 that morning he was on duty in Hyde-park, near Albert-gate, when he saw Gallard sitting on a seat. He asked her why she was kitting there, and she said that she had no home, and that she was waiting for Jones. Shortly after Jones came up, and on her also telling hiui that she had no home, he took them both to the station. Mr. Knox asked whether the young women had been seen in the park before ? Inspector Swanston said he had seen them of au afternoon there, but not at night. Farrier said Jones told hint that she had been leading this life for four years. Jones said she did not know it was wrong, and if his worship could send her anywhere she would be thankful. Mr. Knox asked Jones her age, and whether she came from the country. Jones said she was twenty years of age and was a London girl. She had no friends. Mr. Knox said that a young woman of her age having no friends was no doubt her own fault. Had she any means of earning her living? Jones said she had not. Mr. Knox said that was a bad job. He had no doubt if he sent them away they would be in the park again that night, and if he sent them to the workhouse they would not stop there. As an act of charity to them he would send them to the Westminster Bridewell for 11 days, as they would be out of the streets for that time.
