BIONEy iIIARKET AND COMMERCIAL ENTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market is very fair at previous quo tations. A withdrawal of £60,000 in gold took place at the Bank of England yesterday. The Mississippi from New York has arrived with speci e to the amount of about £40,400, and the Borussia with £15,000. The following alterations arc exhibited in the return of the Bank of France, when compared with that of last week :—An increase has taken place in the cash in hand of £405,000, in the advances £28,00 0, and in the private accounts £BOB,OOO, While there has be , n a decrease of £700,000 in the bills discounted, £580,000 in the Treasury balance, and £260,000 in the notes. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures re main steady at 32 31, and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds at 21 22. We have seen private letters from Paraguay, ()f very recent d a t e , s t a ti ng th a t th e army of Alarshal Lopez was well provided with every necessary, and able to carry on the war for a ny length of time, and that the supplies e ' m ning from B o li v i a v i a C orum b a were a b an d one d. Th at the commercial treaty lately made between Bolivia and Paraguay, allowing the former to im part almost every article free of duty, had stimu lated a great many merchants to profit by this wise measure of the Paraguayan Government. It is also reported that the celebrated guerilla Ch ief General Saa, who had left Europe in January last, from St. Nazaire, to proceed, via Panama and °VAN, to join and head the rebellion of the in terior provinces of the Argentine Confederation, has arrived at his place of destination. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has not been much animation. At the public sales of tea, however, prices have ruled a shade higher, while sugar has been in moderate demand, at fully late rates. Coffee continues in fair request at steady prices, while rice, owing to the continued limited supply on offer, fully maintains former values. Tallow has been dull, and for forward delivery may be quoted a Shade cheaper.

The returns of the trade of the Chinese ports open to foreign flags show that the total amount of the trade of China carried on under foreign flags amounted in the year 1865 to the estimated value of 237,507,922 taels, equal to very nearly a third of that number of pounds sterling. This is an increase of about 28,000,000 taels over the previous year. It includes the amount of the whole import and export trade, and the amount of the imported and exported treasure, less the amount of the re-exports. At the port of Shanghai, which is partly a depot for other ports, the import and export of treasure could not be correctly ascertained, and is not included in the above amounts. The total estimated value of the imports, foreign and native Coast trade, amounted in 1865 to 169,950,334 taels, an increase of 27,000,000 taels over the preceding year. To these imports the different countries contributed as follows : —Great Britain and her possessions, 57,735,771 taels; Japan, 2,454,109 taels; United States, 482,593 taels; sundry countries, including the whole of the Continent, 2,620,987 taels; Chinese ports, 79,809,253 t ae l s; making a total of 143,102,713 taels, not including treasure. The exports of 1865 were as follows : To Great Britain and her possessions, 50,168,697 taels ; to Japan, 270,743 taels ; United States, 5,864,823 taels ; sundry countries, 3,757,834 taels ; to other open Chinese ports, 44,110,354 taels ; making a total of 104,165,451 tales, in addition to treasure exported of the value of 29,052,096 taels, an increase in the grand total of nearly 12,000,000 taels over the previous year. But the re-exports would have to be deducted to arrive at the true value of the export trade. Mr. Hart, Inspector- General of Customs, reports to the Tsung-le-Yamen that the diminished supply of cotton, in consequen2e of the American troubles, has exercised a prejudicial influence on the revenues of China, but that an in crease in the import duties may new be exp,ete d. Reviewing the supervision by Commissioners from October, 1860, to June, 1865, five years, minus one-quarter of a year, the Inspector-General of Customs findi that the import duties have amounted to about 12,000,000 taels, and the export duties to about 18,000,000 taels. The revenue of all kinds accruing to the Chinese Government on foreign trade at the treaty ports has in the five years amounted to about 32,560,000 taels. The Inspec tor-General observes that foreign merchants come to China to trade because it pays them to do so, and that these figures show that the Chinese—mer chants, people, and Government —are not without their share in the advantages springing from com mercial intercourse. Tho revenue amounted to 2,531,763 taels in the first three-quarters of a year; 6,635,917 taels in the year ending the 30th of June, 1862 ; 7,859,466 taels in the third year, 1862-63 ; 7,728,447 taels in the fourth year, 1863-64 ; 7,803,587 taels in the fifth year, 1864-65; so that the annual revenue is now nearer to £3,000,000 than to £2,000,000. The Accident at Newcastle Quay. Mr. Hoyle, the borough coroner, has opened an inquest at the dead-house, Newcastle-on-Tyne, on the bodies of Andrew Routledge and William Tur bitt, the former 9 and the latter 12 years of age, and Margaret Jane Armstrong, 14 months old, the young persons drowned by the breaking of the gangway at the Tyne Ferry's landing at Newcastle quay on Monday night. Extremely exaggerated reports have appeared in the London papers as to the number of persons drowned on that occasion. Some papers stated 50 persons were supposed to have lost their lives ; but after the lapse of three days and dragging the river opposite Newcastle quay, with careful inquiries in all directions after missing persons, it has been ascertained - that th statement first made in The Sun was the correct one, and that the number of persons drowned will not exceed six. A young woman, a domestic ser vant, is missing from lie,worth-lane, and there seems little doubt that she was drowned by the breaking of the bridge, and though only three bodieS have been recovered from the river, it is stAted that a boat's crew brought the body of a working man to the surface of the water on Wednesday The bridge itself has disappeared in some mysterious manner, and though it has been searched for in all directions it cannot be found. About 100 persons, it is computed, were on it when it broke, but not half that number fell into the river. Mr. Burroughs, surveyur to the Board of Trade, was present at the inquest on Wednesday evening, but, to give more time for inquiries, it was adjourned until next week. DEPUTATION TO MR. GLADSTONE.—We are in formed that the deputation from the National Reform Union Will wait upon Air. Gladstone to-morrow afternoon at three o'clock.

(Before the Common Sergeant). ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE. Three men, named Casey, Coyle, and Archibald, were indicted for robbing, on the Queen's highway, with violence, a labouring man named Morris. The prisoners pleaded Not Guilty. The prosecutor said, on the 11th April, he was passing along r _l'othill-street, near the IVestminster Hotel, when he was surrounded by four men. The one that was behind put his aria round his (prose cutor's) neck, and so tightly hold hint that he was helpless. The other men thrust their hands into his pockets, and took all the money he had, and then ran away. lie called for assistance as soon as he was able, but the men bad got away beforo help arrived. He was quite certain that the prisoners were three of the four by whom he was robbed. He had picked them out at the station house from amongst a great many other persons. The prosecutor's evidence having been confirmed by the police, The jury found all the prisoners guilty. The Common Sergeant sentenced Coyle to 18 months' and Casey and Archibald each to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. This terminated the business of the session. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. Israel Jacobs, the son of a wholesale fruit sales man in Great Russell-street, Covent -garden, again appeared to answer the charge made against him by Colonel Wood. The defendant, it appeared, on Saturday evening last was driving a trap along the Mall at a very rapid rate, and, unfortunately, as Colonel Wood was crossing the road in company with a friend he was knocked down by the horse and the wheel passed over his arm. Mr. Vaughan said it was a very ser i ous case, and that he should send it for trial by a jury ; but Colonel Wood this morning interposed, and said that as the defendant had expressed his deep regret at what had occurred, and had consented to give £5O to the Cambridge Asylum, established for re lieving the orphans of soldiers who fell in battle, he, as far as he was personally concerned, would with draw from the prosecution. a jury; b u t, as h e Mr. Vaughan said it was a very serious ca se , an d h w e as o ought rp to i o b d e t s h e e n t d o f trial f o e r ndatit by had expre sse d sorrow for causing the accident, and, as he was a very young man, he should not adopt that course. He had to thank Colonel Wood for withdrawing from the case, and he hoped it would be a warning to him for life, because it was through no care on his part that human life was not sacrificed. He was informed that he intended to contribute £5O to a very meritorious institution as public compensation, and therefore be should only inflict upon him the fine of 40s. for furious driving. The fine was paid. The father of defendant drew out a cheque for £5O, and the defendant was dis charged. THAMES. RIOTIOUS SCENE IN TUC EAST INDIA DOCK.— Dennis Conolly and Timothy Purcell, touters, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with forcing their way on board ship in the East India Dock before she was safely moored. Yesterday afternoon the ship Swiftsure, from Mel bourne, was being hauled into the East India Dock when a great number of Jews, outfitters, crimps, boarding-house keepers, touters, and others at tempted to board her to solicit custom of the sailors, carry the passengers luggage on shore, and for other purposes. Mr. De Brock, the chief mate of the ship, warned them off, and after a scene of commo tion and violence the prisoners, who refused to leave the ship, were given into custody. The defence of the prisoners was that they were called on board and were looking out for a job. Conolly said he was dragged into the cabin and beaten by the chief mate, and Purcell said an at tempt was made to drow n him. Air. De Brock said he took the prisoner Conolly into the caddy to secure him, but he did not strike him. Several witnesses deposed to the violence and disorderly conduct of the mob in the East India Dock while the Swiftsure was coming in. Mr. Charles Douglas, the assistant chief con stable of the East and \Vest India Docks, said no more force was used than was necessary to eject the people boarding fro her. ship, and prevent othe rs f rom was quite a riot at the do c k in endeavouring to take po ssess i on o f th e s hi p ; stones were thrown, and th e c l amour was d readful. m the There Those scenes had been of frequent occurrence when ships were coming into clock. Mr. Paget said it was very important when ships were coming into dock that order should be preserved. Danger and inconvenience were caused by the practice of boarding ships by hosts of per sons when they were coining into dock, and to prevent robberies, confusion, and danger, the act of Parliament he was about to put in force was passed. If people had jobs to execute for seamen and pas sengers they must execute them at the proper time an d place. He had the power to inflict a fine of £2O, and if these cases became frequent he should continue to increase the fines and the imprisonments until he reached the maximum. He fined Conolly 205., and, in default of payment, seven days' impri sonment, with hard labour. With respect to the other man (Purcell), whose conduct was very fin proper, and who had no right on board when ordered away by the mate, it appeared he was hanging on by the railing of the ship, and a con stable named Charles Freelong endeavoured to loosen the prisoner's hands, and to compel him to let go. If the constable had suc ceeded the man would necessarily have fallen into the dock, and he would have been drowned. The same constable had also attempted to take off the prisoner's hat. The dock constable was armed with the authority of the law, and he ought not to have acted as he had done. The conduct of Freelong was very reprehensible, and he had exceeded his duty. It was fortunate the constable had not suc ceeded in his attempt to drown the man, and he hoped he would not repeat such highly blameable conduct. The conduct of the chief mate, Mr. De Brock, was very right. He should discharge Pur cell, and if he attempted to board ship again at an improper time he was to be brought before him or any other magistrate for punishment, but his life was not to be put in jeopardy.

LORD BROUGHAM.—lnformation of a reassuring nature as to the health of Lord Brougham has reached us. After a slight cold, during the persistence of which Lord Brougham continued his early habits, he suffered from great exhaustion, so much so as to give his friends con siderable anxiety.

VESSEL ON SILORE.—WEXFORD, May 9.—The brig Ayrshire Lass, of Ardrossan, from Liverpool, for Halifax, with salt, struck on the middle of the long bank, Wexford, at half-past 6 this morning.

AMMUNITION FOR SNIDER'S RIFLE.—A War office return shows that up to the Ist of March 12,439,593 service cartridges ( Boxer) for Snider rifles, had been manu factured at the Royal Laboratory, and 204,710 proof car tridges ; and there bad been supplied by contract 3,049,525 empty cartridge cases, and 5,045,000 shells for percussion caps. The cost of the 12,439,598 cartridges was £49,570, but this is no criterion of the present cost. At the com mencement of the manufacture there was a want of suitable machinery, and also a want of skill, and night work was adopted, and the price at first charged. for metal has been reduced about 25 per cent. The cost, therefore, is now much lessened. None of this ammunition has been con demned or broken up, but about 1,400,000 rounds of ball have been converted into blank, owing to a change in the pattern of the case. • THE AUSTRIAN EMBASSY.—The Austrian Ambas sador and the Countess Apponyi entertained at dinner last evening at the Embassy, in Belgrave-square, Admiral Tegethoff, the Earl of Denbigh, Lord Henry G. Lennox, M.P., Major-General Lord Henry Percy, M.P., the Right Hon. Sir Hamilton Seymour, Baron and Baroness Biome, Baron Do Baude, and the members of the Embassy. CENTRAL CRIMINAL C 0 URT.—The trial of Stephen Samuel Wales, for feloniously and maliciously setting fire to his dwelling-house with intent to defraud the Western Fire Insurance Company of £950, was resumed yesterday at ten o'clock, before Mr. Justice Blackburn. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he wits sentenced fobs kept in penal servitude for ten years. Tue quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On coniparing these rates with the English Mint price 01 X, Os. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. r ADYE RTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— These potent remedies constitute a materia mediae in themselves, for there is no internal or external disorder controllable by medicine for which the one or the other of them is not a positive remedy—eruptions, humours, scrofula, scurvy, cancer, asthma, rheumatism, gout, and dropsy, entirely subside and disappear under the action of these joints medicines, and in cases of indigestion, sick headache, bile, liver oomplaints, debility, and other dis orders originating in the internal organs, the Pills pro duce the most astonishing results imaginable.

PRIVATE BUSINESS: The Great Eastern Railway, Edinburgh Improvement, Barker Mills Estate, North London Railway, and Great Eastern (Steamboats) Bills were read a second time. THE LUXEMBURG QUESTION. 3 I In answer to Earl RUSSELL, Lord DEttBY said the Conference appointed to discuss this question had only met to-day at hall-past ten o'clock, and he had not heard what had taken place, but he was given to understand that there exists a feeling of mutuality in the Conference, and that practically the peace of Europe is secured. POLICY OF INS,URANCE BILL. Lord CLANHICARDE moved the second reading of this bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR . considered that this bill ought to be referred to a select committee. Since the reign of George 11. a great deal of legislation had taken place on the subject. The bill was read a second time. RELIGIOUS SITES BILL. The report of the amendinents to this bill was brought befor the house, and the bill passed. THE DEMONSTRATION IN HYDE PARK. Earl COWPER wished to inquire into the late proceed ings iu Hyde-park, and to move that papers relative to the orders given as to the closing of the park and the instructions given to the police be laid on the table. He reprobated severely the conduct of a Government keep ing in office on sufferance, and carrying out a measure of reform without consulting the interests and wishes of the people. It was not the wish of any one on his side of the house to disturb the present Government, but ho did consider it was his duty to request a further amount of information on the matter, and the best course to pursue, in his opinion, was to give a plain history of the facts from the commencement. The noble earl then re ferred to the original opinion given by the law officers of the Crown on the closing of the Park, and the still later proceedings. He would ask were there no other lawyers as able as the legal gentlemen who advised the Crown ? When a vast amount of expression of opinion on .the ,part of the people had taken place ou the subject, still it was only on Sunday afternoon that the meeting was permitted to take place on Monday. The Government had filled the neighbourhood with the military and police, and then had given way, inflicting a great blow on the constitutional authority and bringing it into contempt. He could not too highly praise the conduct of the people on Monday. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of DERBY—Although the noble earl who has jut sat down has moved for the production of papers, I apprehend that it is not his object to press that motion. The first of the documents to which ho refers has been already published, and with respect to the instructions given to the police it is not usual to produce such papers, and their production now would establish a very inconve nient precedent. I apprehend that the noble earl only meant to use the motion for those documents as a means of enabling him to express his opinion with respect to the course adopted by her Majesty's Government on the subject of the late meeting, and so far am I from complaining of the course taken by the noble earl that I am inclined to offer him my thanks for having afforded us an opportunity of fully discussing the matter in this house, where I am sure your lordships will come to its consideration calmly, tem perately, and impartially. I desire nothing more than to have an opportunity of laying before your lordships all the circumstances under which the Government acted, and thereupon, if your lordships should think fit, to invite an expression of your opinion upon it. But before I say a word with respect to the Government I must take the earliest opportunity of saying something in vindication of a right hon. friend of mine who has been subject to the greatest in justice and misrepresentation. I refer to Mr. Walpole. I regret to state that the labour which he has had to sustain in his office, increased as it has been by the unfortunate absence of the efficient Under Secretary (Mr. Waddington), in consequence of serious and protracted indisposition, that that labour, and the mental anxiety ho has had to undergo in the course of the last few weeks, have so considerably impaired his health, acting as they have done on a mind more than ordinarily sensitive, that he has felt compelled to represent to me that it was absolutely necessary that he should no longer continue to discharge the duties of that office, and he has accordingly, in spite of my most earnest remonstrances, placed in my hands his resignation, which I have been compelled most reluctantly to submit to the consideration of her Majesty. The Cabinet will thus lose a very efficient member—(hear, hear) —and personally wo shall all feel we are parting with a man than whom one more amiable, more honourable, more thoroughly conscien tious I have never had the good fortune t 3 act with (Cheers.) But lam bound to add this is no case in which auything that has been done ought to be visited upon my right hon. friend. It is no departmental question. (Hear, hear.) It is a question which affects the Government as a whole, and there is not one member of the Cabinet—and least of all can I pretend to be such a member—who is not as fully and entirely responsible for all that has been done as the particular Minister referred to. (Hear, hear.) It has been charged against him that ho has exhibited great vacil lation, great weakness, great change of purpose ; but I believe there has been no vacillation and no change of pur pose. The course pursued from the first has been one and the same determined upon by the Cabinet after the most anxious andcareful deliberation, and founded upon the best reference we could make to the opinions of the present and former law officers of the Crown. The noble earl had spoken as if the year 1866 was the first occasion on which the question had arisen, but it is hardly necessary for me to re mind your lordships that riots took place in 1855 on seve ral consecutive Sundays, which were not sought to be put down until great alarm had been created. In 1856 refe rence was made by the Government of the day to the law officers of the Crown, and a case was submitted on behalf of the Board of Works for the opinions of the law officers upon the following points in relation to the metropolitan parks: _ . - First, Is there any authority to close the gates of the in closure and exclude the public altogether during the day ? Secondly, The gates of the iuelosures being open, is there any authority to prevent the ingress of persons to the in closures, those persons conducting themselves properly and orderly in their attempt to obtain ingress? Thirdly-, Supposing persons to have entered, and to preach, or play upna musical instruments, or to sing, does any authority exist to turn out persons so preaching, or praying, or sing ing, out of the parks, supposing they do not obstruct a thoroughfare, or cause a disturbance ? And if so, you are particularly requested to state what is the nature of the authority, and how it is derived. OPINION. let. We think that there is a right in pint of law to close the gates and exclude the public from the parks. 2d. We think that the gates being open there is a right on the part of the Crown to exclude persons attempting to gain admission ; but wo do not think this right should be exer cised against particular individuals unless in case of pre vious misconduct. 3d. If persons who have entered com mence to preach or play they cannot be turned out with out proper notice to them that the permission or license of the Crown to the public to enjoy the parks is condi tional only, and does not apply to persons who so conduct themselves and the best way of giving such notice is by posting it up at the entrance of the parks. The authority to close and exclude the public from the parks is that which every landowner has to prevent the public from trespassing on his lands ; for we are of opinion that the public have not acquired any legal right to use the parks by reason of any continued user under the license and by favour of the Crown. A. E. COCKBURN. RICHD. BBTHELL. W. A. WILDE& Temple, Nov. 18, 1856. In July, 1866, a copy of that opinion was forwarded to the then law officers, Sir Hugh Cairns and Sir William Bovill, with a request that they would favour Mr. Secretary Wal pole with their opinion with reference to the third ques tion and answer, and inform him " Whether, supposing a number of persons who'have already entered Hyde-park to form themselves into a meeting for the discussion of poli tical subjects, there is any legal authority to disperse such meeting by force, even though a general notice may have been given that meetings of that description will not be allowed." The opinion obtained was as follows :- 1. We are of opinion that every person entering anndtree maining in the park must in law be taken to do so ma y ag h e_ license of the Crown, or of those acting in the.ine to re_ ment of the park ; that it is competent at any thei r who yoke avail this themselves license, eng •k, and that tend meetings of a political character in the . p.iitr at end, and the this condition being broken the license isia n dmay, if d f ortoofaintumexustionoitt a f ()rw, condition g t e h i a n t e t h r o a s t ! iceo , r . y N t ‘ o ra b r r n i i n a g g ' home rteo the person breaking it becomes a trespasser, n h i e o v re e fre I t t o w l e e n a l v d e , n t the ec course, the n n o e e t e e ea the knowledge ot k This might be done to a rah license to enter the p. :It es in and about the park, though the person to bo removed tha the g ti r o e n at s e u x c t h en as t baybopvneblsiunpnpnotsiced.has been annexed to gene tion of notices, however extensive, 1 from inability to rea , or otherwise,. actual occur where, it is possible to suppose that no tith in s d ta ir u i d d i u ng ti t e h n e se p s u m bl i i g c h a i a of s w a e n h y a l v a e rge described, assembly theo such cases would 3 it of theeonnedintieoeteteloruyltdnisinotolbveainmepxuptereds,eaNnvadrnin_ kuowledg ing to leave.
