MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK• There is no appreciable alteration in the general state of the Money Market ; the supplies and circu lation have increased instead of showing the diminution usual at this period, owing to the millions sterling locked up in provision for the half yearly dividend. A further sum of £16,000 in gold was taken to the Bank of Englaad yesterday. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 3d of July gives the following re sults when compared with the previous week : Reit ••• .£3 180 866 ...

Usually the first return after the end of the half year shows a decline of about a quarter of a million in the bullion, owing to with drawals of sovereigns for Government and other payments. . . Subjoined is a comparison of the present position of tho Bank of England and the price of Consols with the corresponding week of last year : Same week At present. last year.

Pries of Consols 94} 361 7 The Bank of France returns show the following changes compared with the previous return. The cash in hand has increased £103,500, the bills receivable £592,000, and the votes £178,400, while the Treasury has decreased £620,000, and the pri vate accounts £860,000. The Union Bank of London have announced that at the half-yearly meeting, to be held on the 10th inst., a dividend of 7 per cent., and a bonus of 5 per cent. will be declared for the six months ended 30th June last, making, with the distribution of profits in Januarylast, 221- per cent. for the year, being the same rate as in the previous year. Atlantic and Great Western Railway debentures have declined I, to 30 32, but the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds remain steady at 241 25f. During the past few days there has not been much animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets. The dealings in sugar have been restricted, and prices have shown little variation of importance. Coffee has been in fair request, par ticularly superior qualities of Plantation Ceylon which have brought full rates. In rice scarcely any business has been reported, and quotations are a shade lower, while only moderate transactions have been entered into in tallow, and insufficient to cause any material change in values. With regard to the corn trade in Birmingham, Mr. W. C. R. Cane states as follows :—Weather until Monday night continued fine, with a high temperature. We had then a splendid rain, which will be of immense benefit to the growing crops and pastures, but more especially to the barley, which was showing serious signs of want of moisture. The corn trade during the week has remained in the same dull, inactive state so long noted ; this is caused chiefly by the continued determination of manufacturers to work on the hand to mouth system, and by the entire absence of speculation. Supplies of English wheat continue most moderate. Arrivals of Foreign are to a fair extent. At our market to-day we had again a poor show of fine English wheat, and such sold at the prices of last week, while secondary were unsaleable. The subjoined circular, with reference to the affairs of the London, Brighton, and South-Coast Railway, has been issued by Mr. S. Laing, M.P.:— " Company's Offices, London-bridge, E.C., July 2, 1867. "Sir,—Having consented to become chairman of the Brighton Company in the hope of saving it from its present embarrassments, I am satisfied that au amalgamation with the South-Eastern Company is the first step to place both properties on a sound footing. lam further satisfied that the enclosed agreement is perfectly fair for both sides, and mutually advantageous; and as it is of great importance with reference to the application to Parliament that it should be adopted by large majorities of the shareholders, I beg earnestly to request that you will attend the meeting to be held on Friday, the 12th of July next, at one o'clock, at the Bridge House Hotel, Southwark; or, if you are unable to attend, that you will sign the enclosed proxy in favour of myself or Sir Charles Jackson.—Yours faithfully, At the meeting held to-day of the. Colonial Bank, Mr. C. M. Marryatt in the chair, the report, seconded by Mr. Gurney Hoare, was unanimously adopted, and a dividend declared at the rate of 6 per cent. for the half-year, being equal to 12 per cent. for the year. It was stated by the chairman that there were no fresh losses, and that the bad debts of last year were all cleared off. The not profit for the half year amounted to £41,121. The reserve fund amounted to £136,000. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram this morning, the French Rentes were 68f. 60c. Scarcely any business is reported in the market for Consols, and the quotations for money and ac count are now exactly the same, viz., 94 I for both. The dealers and brokers, investors and speculators, are now awaiting, with some anxiety, the issue of the settlement. The New Threes are 934 ; Reduced Annuities, 93 4 4 ; Exchequer Bills for March, 245. to 275. prom; India 5 per Cents., 1094 ; ditto Enfaced 5 per Cents., 1034 ; ditto £l,OOO Bonds, 60s. prem.

Italian 5 per Cents. have improved 4, to 484 4 ; Mexican Stock, 4, to 16 164 ; Turkish 5 per Cents. 4, to 304 314 ; Spanish Passive 4, to 234 24 ; ditto Certificates 4, to 154 16 ; and Rus sian Loan Scrip 4, to 4 4 prem. ; while Greek Bonds have declined 4, to 14 144. Only a moderate amount of business has been transacted in the Railway Share Market, but prices in most instances exhibit greater firmness. Brighton have advanced 14 ; South-Western and Metropoli tan each 1 ; Midland, 4 ; South-Eastern, 4 ; and Great Western, 4 ; while Great Northern have de clined 4. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings little variation was apparent, Great Luxembourg being dealt in at 11i ; South Austrian and Lombardo- Venetian at 15f ; East Indian at 107 i ; Great Indian Peninsula at 1064 ; and Bombay and Baroda at 100 f I. Miscellaneous and Finance shares are without material variation. General Credit remain firm at 5i 6 ; National Discount Company have declined to 124 ; and Hudson's Bay Company improved to 15i ; Fore -street Warehouse are marked 13} and Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 42f 44. Bank Shares remain very dull. London Joint Stock have declined to 44k, Union of Loudon to 40i, and London and Westminster to 103 ; while Bank of New Zealand have improved to 18i.

THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action by the plaintiff, a hair dresser, at Barclay-road, Essex, and his wife, to recover damages sustained by the latter while tra velling on the company's line. The defendants denied that they were indebted t o t h e plaintiffs, or that their servants had been guilty of any n eg li gence on the part of their servants. Mr. Sergeant O'Brien was counsel for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Powell, Q.C., for the defendants. Mrs. Rachel Gotlib, the female plaintiff, stated that last November she vt ent by the second-class on the company's line from the Barclay road station. There were in the carriage with her two ladies whom she did not know and her brother. On the arrival of the train at Stratford one of the railway porters opened the door of the carriage, and the ladies got out. As she was about following them, the carriage gave a jerk, and she was flung on the platform. She fell very heavily, being large in the family way. When she returned home she became very ill, and the next day she suffered severe pain from a contusion in the knee and other injuries from the accident. She was soon under medical treatment, but fortunately no premature confine ment took place. The injuries were serious, if not permanent, in their character, and Mrs. Gotlib had been unable to render her husband any assistance in his business for some time after the accident. She was also obliged to have the con stant attendance of a nurse. The company took no notice of an application for compensation, but when they had been served with a writ on behalf of the plaintiff, they took out a summons against the lady for having got out of the carriage while the train was in motion, but up the present time the latter was not proceeded with. Other evidence was given on behalf of the plaintiff. The jury found a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Keating and a Common Jury.) ABSALON V. POUNCETS. Mr. 11. James was counsel for the Plaintiff, and Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., for the defendant. The plaintiff in this case is an artist, and the defendant a gentleman of fortune, who has a taste for paintings. Last November the plaintiff exhi bited a picture in water colours at the Pall-mall Exhibition, which the defendant agreed to purchase for £l5, and a label was fixed on it with the word " sold" written on it. The picture was entitled " Idlers," and was framed and glazed. For the plaintiff Mr. R. Thackwaite, a keeper of the pictures at the exhibition, was examined, and stated that the defendant agreed to purchase the picture in question without the frame. This was denied by the defendant, who alleged that he bought the picture with the distinct under standing that the frame was to be included in the purchase-money agreed to be paid by the defendant. The jury found a verdict for the defendant. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. LONDON, July s.—Wind this day at noon—North- Westerly ; moderate breeze and fine weather, but rather cloudy.

MORRO VELIIO MARRIAGE BILL. This bill was read a seccnd time. LAND TAX COMMISSIONERS' NAMES BILL. This bill was committed. THE GALWAY HARBOUR (COMPENSATION OF DEBTS) BILL. The Earl of DEVON moved that the order of the 3d May last, with respect to this bill, be dispensed with. The order was then dispensed with. TIIE BLAOKWALL BRIDGE BILL. The Earl of DEVON moved that the order of the 3d May, as to this bill, be dispensed with. This bill was then read a second time. SALMON FISHERIES (IRELAND) ACT AMEND. MENT BILL. The report as to this bill was received, and the bill, as amended, was read a third time and passed. BRITISH WHITE HERRING FISHERY BILL. This as amended by the Commons was passed. THE LUXEMBOURG QUESTION. Lord HOUGHTON asked the noble lord at the head of her Majesty's Government as to the construction which they placed on the words " collective guarantee' in the Luxembourg treaty. He wished to know what practical effect that guarantee had. It was stated the other day, he thought, that by this guarantee all the signataries to that treaty agreed and provided that if anything of a tyrannous nature was done to wards Luxembourg that the signataries should declare that all the conditions of the treaty were at once null and void. It was not Greecs or Belgium or Sweden, or any of those Powers that these signataries guarded against, but Prussia or France, who wish to take Luxem burg from Holland. If the aggressor to the con ditions of this treaty was a signatary, he had the greater responsibility to answer for. There were political agitations going on in the countries of France and Prussia, and this point was one of vital importance. The Earl of DERBY said that he was prepared to give the explanation again that ho had already given, and which did not seem to satisfy the noble lord, but whatever construction he might put, or the Government and house might put, upon the words, he was sure that all viewed them with the utmost fairness. Ho was not much of a diplomatist, but ho would impress upon them that the guarantee was collective, and there fore nothing could be done by one power with out the consent of the whole. He would call their lordships' attention to the terms of the guarantee. Prussia laid down they should have a full and free guarantee. Hi, noble relative in the other house, in drawing up the treaty. had not inserted the word guarantee, but had declared only the neutrality of the Powers, but to this Prussia demurred, and asked for a collective guarantee, which was accord ingly complied with. He would wish the noble lord to declare his view of what a collective guarantee was. He thought that if the noble lord thought that all the Powell were bound to enforce the conditions of the guarantee, if this had been the case they could hardly have expectec: Prussia to have asked for such a guarantee. In 1831 there was a separate guarantee given in the case of Belgium. _ _ . Earl RUSSELL Much regretted tho raising of the dis cussion, the previous debate upon the question having oc casioned great uneasiness in Prussia, and an unfavourable inference of what the conduct of England might be in the event of any future emergency. His opinion was that, if either France or Prussia violated the neutrality of Luxem bourg, and the rest of the Powers were called upon to en force it, there would be a moral obligation upon them to do so. He did not believe, however, that either France of Prussia had the slightest desire to violate the neutrality of Luxembourg, and he trusted it would never be thought h. Europe that this country had only entered into diplomatic engagements with the view of retracting them whenever the necessity for fulfilling them might arise. After some debate, in which Lord Lyveden, Lord Strat ford de Redcliffe, and the Duke of Argyll took part, tilt subject dropped. The Earl of DERBY, in reply to Earl Russell, said that, in consequence of the reported execution of the ex-E.npe ror Maximilian, the review appointed to be held this day would be postponed, but he hoped Lot abandoned. Their lordships adjourned at 25 minutes to 7 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. INDIA PRIZE MONEY. Mr. T. CHAMBERS asked the Secretary of State for Wai when the Central India prize-money would be distributed, and what had been the cause of the long delay of nine years ? Sir J. PAKINGTON said the delay in paying the money had arisen through litigation, but that was now fortunately at an end, and therefore the prize-money would be paid without any further delay. At the request of Colonel FRENCH, Sir J. PAKINGTON stated the nature of the arrange ments for the accommodation of members of both houses on the occasion of the naval review at Spithead. Four hundred tickets and a special train would, he mid, be pro vided for the members of each house, who are to have a luncheon at the cost of the Admiralty, but who will have to pay their own railway fares. The house having gone into committee on the Reform Bill, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER made a formal motion for reporting progress, iu order to enable him to make a suggestion that after Mr. Hibbert's clause to make charges for conveying voters to the poll at borough elections illegal, the committee should proceed to the con sideration of the schedules. Should the house accede to this suggestion, the remaining clauses of which private mem bers had given notice could bo discussed on the bringing up of the report, and the bill might go to the House of Lords in - time to receive the deliberate consideration of that which discussions Manchester, might assembly. He feared, h o wever, if this cou r s e were not adopted, it would b e diffi cu lt to set limits to the length to hon. gentleman add e d th a t h e proposed to get a third mem ber for their Liverpool, Birmingham, and The right mt, and Leeds by giving up the scheme of enfranchisement originally pro posed for St. Helens, Keighly, Luton, and Barnsley. The suggestion of the Chancellor led to a somewhat dis cursive debate, in the course of which Mr. Bright expressed his opinion that there was a great deal of reason in it, and recommended the house to agree to it. The hon. gentle man also read a letter addressed to him by Mr. W. H. Reece, of Dartmouth, imploring him to use his influence to get that borough disfranchised on the ground of its exten sive and irredeemable corruption. Mr. John Hardy (mem ber for Dartmouth) admitted that the borough was not im maculate, but contended that it was no worse than many others, and that it would be unreasonable for any Whig to insist upon the disfranchisement of a place so close to the historic spot at which the great reformer, William of Orange, had landed. Mr. Lowe expressed himself dissatis fied with any mode of manipulating the bill which could deprive him of the privilege of taking the sense of the house on the principle of cumulative voting. Mr. Bouverie and Mr. White approved of the plan as calculated to facili tate the progress of the bill, and eventually the subject dropped ; and the committee resumed the consideration of the clause proposed by Mr. Hibbert, making the payment of expenses of conveying voters to the poll illegal. Mr. Hub bert stating ho was willing to exclude counties from the operation of the clause, and also to make an exception in favour of the boroughs of Retford, Shoreham, Aylesbury, and Crickdale, a division was taken on the motion that the clause be road a second time, which was agreed to by 166 to 101. A proposition to include Wenlock among the excepted boroughs was subsequently negatived, and the clause was ordered to stand part of the bill. A clause proposed by Sir T. D. LLOYD to declare illegal the employment by committees for election purpcses of rooms i n houses licensed for the sale of intoxicating liquors underwent considerable discussion. Much time was wasted and many impractieable amendments were inrroduced, until at length the house gladly availed itself of a motion to negative the clause in globo, which was done on a division by 197 to 98. Mr. LOWE next proceeded to move his clause iu favour of cumulative voting. It provided that at any contested election for a county or borough represented by more than two members, and having more than .ono„Elm'i,, vacant, every voter should be entitled to a uumbe r of votes equal to the number of vacant seats, 'and might give all such votes to one candidate, or might distribute them among the candidates, as ho thought fit. This proposal, he observed, was the last of the expedients which could ba suggested for giving some variety to the franchise, and if this failed to receive the approval of the committee , ho feared they must content themselves with having a uniform franchise placed in the hands of the lowest classes of the community. Mr. LIDDELL moved that the Chairman report pro gress, urging ' that the subject was of too much importance to bo discussed at midnight. Mr. T. HUGHES spoke in support of the clause, after which the house divided, and the motion to report pro vess was negatived by 213 to 88. Sir C. RUSSELL then moved that tho Chairman leave , the chair ; and, after a short discussion, the Chancellor of the Exchequer assenting, progress WAS reported, and the Chairman obtained leave to sit again this day. Several bills were advanced a stago, and the house ad- i journed at 20 minutes past one until two o'clock this day. ' SPORTING INTELLIGFSCE. NEWMARKET JULY MEETING—Tat:ma/a.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up this morning, coastwise and by land-carriage, were very limited, yet the demand for all kinds, owing to the favourable accounts at hand respecting the crops, rulod heavy, at prices barely equal to Monday. With foreign wheat we were fairly supplied. Good and fine samples supported previous rates; but inferior kinds were dull, and lower to sell. There was a slight improvement in the inquiry for floating cargoes of grain at very full prices. Both English and foreign barley moved off slowly, at Monday's quotations. Malt was in fair request on former terms. The supply was tolerably good. _ . There was about an average business doing in oats, at previous currencies. The imports have been seasonably large. . Both beans and peas wore a slow sale, yet prices were supported. The flour trade was in a sluggish state, at last week's quotations. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The Loan CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack a five o'clock. -•- - PETITIONS. Petitions were presented front vatious places in the diocese of Salisbury, praying that their lordships would pass the Clerical Vestment Bill. THE TROOPS IN NEW ZEALAND. Lord LYTTELTON moved for copies of instructions to Hi., officers commanding troops in New Zealand con cerning their distribution. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM said that with regard to this motion, as there werJ arrangements being made as to the distribution both by her Majesty's Government and the Government abroad, it was advisable, he thought, to wait for further information on the subject. The Earl of CARNARVON said that question cross out of a despatch of hiq, and ho would certainly like to hear something on the matter, and if the Government had taken action in the matter it would be advisable that the house should be informed fully on the subject. Lord LYTTELTON thought that it was necessary that some information should be given to the house on this sub ject, but if the noble duke supposed it would be advanta geous ho would withdraw it. The matter then dropped. CERTIFICATED TEACHERS IN PARISHES. The Earl of CORK said that he wished to call the attention of the house to the hardships sustained by certain parishes by making the employment of a certifi cated teacher an indispensable condition for their ob taining Government assistance. Ho contended that uncer tificated teachers were quite as well worthy of the grant as those who were certificated. Many competent instruc tors were amongst the former. It was a great hard ship that all these teachers should be compelled to go to the same school; indeed it was not so amongst higher classes of teachers, they passed their necessary examinations, and then pursued their professional duties without any distinction. He thought that at this time there should be a conference with the commissioners of 1859 re lative to improving the rural schools of this country, and he trusted that during the winter something would be done in the matter. On that account ho called their lordships' at tention to it. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER said that he was much obliged to the noble earl for bringing forward the question. Ho knew very well what hardships the clergy of the rural districts had in obtaining proper schools for the children of the poor. There could be no doubt that the higher the class of educated teachers they could obtain the more advantageous it would be, but it was often difficult to get them. He would suggest that there should be, if possible, diocesan boards of education in the rural districts, by which per haps the evil complained of might be met. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH said that this was one of the most important and one of the broadest questions that could be brought before their lordships. But he thought that a more general ground should be taken than that suggested by the noble lord. [LEFT sPrax.mo:l HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tms DAT. The SPEAKER took the chair at 2 o'clock. THE SCOTCH REFORM BILL. In reply to Sir W. BUXTON, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it was intended, on the passing of the Representation of the People Bill, to move the second rending of the Scotch Reform Bill. The house would thereby have an oppor tuniiy of assenting to Landrp of the bill, the fran chise given therein, the redistribution of seats. (Hear, hear.) REPRESENTATION OP THE PEOPLE BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, the debate being resumed upon the following new clause moved by Mr. Lowe :—" At any contested election for a county or borough represented by more than two members, and having more than one seat vacant, every voter shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of v a cant seats, and may give all such votes to one condi didato, or may distribute them among the candidates as he thinks fit." Mr. LEFEVRE opposed the clause, denying that it was either expedient or necessary that minorities should be re p re sented, and he objected to it further on the ground that it was based ou class legislation. Mr. GORST said the amendment was a matter of in difference to the leaders a nd popular members in re t urn ed to the house , because they were cert ain of being but with the members of his own standing tho matter was of being compelled to m not so unimportant, and atlkieitfhoaemresed Ityheeadepompearalalirsigthefftehcat lowest class of voters. clause, and the amendmeut Mr. MORRISON concurredbain hthade prop e i n t o notice et the e f new was d because it sought to ta cte , d to ho clause.. only to establish another mode carrying it out. id Si r r . J A . C D O D L E L R I L E E R y strao Ia n o g went altogether now and quite uu establish an arrange known to the constitution. Mr.yobebc member for Caine,Calne because he wished that FAWCETT said he should support the proposal of the hon. mem mino rities should bo represented in that house. Ho denied that those persons in favou powerh clause were those who s much to the minorit as the p roposed to give ho altogether denied • majority. That that it was never thought or intended that such a state of things should exist; and with respect to the amendment to the ci tt us. standing on the paper iu the name of the hon. member ( - 'si , Morrison) without saying whether he should vote f he thought that the proposal to adopt the arrangement in places returning two members would in effect give as much power to the ono as to the other. He hoped the proposal of the hon. member for Caine would be adopted, because it would lead to the trial of a system on a small scale, which in some 20 or 30 years would be the system in com mon usa. (hear, lea •.) He supported the proposal be cause he felt it would give to every class of opinion that fair and just proportion of representation to which they wore entitled. Mr. NEWDEGATE hoped the house would accept the amendment of the hon. member for Caine, because it would then receive atrial as an experiment, the result of which ho felt would be most important. Mr. BRIGHT opposed the clause °tithe ground tha t was ono of the most violent attacks onrepresentatiou ev debated in that house. (Hear.) Ho had ben quite content march along in the paths of ancient representation —(hear and in what the Government had proposedt hey had done The hon. member for Caine had, in almost agonising ter wb besought the house to adopt his proposal, because it the only mode of escaping the danger to which the ho ' l " was fast hurrying. Why, in only 8 or 10 constituoncie s turning three members it could only hoof any effect, and was that to be the great safeguard to the constitution. (Hoar, hear.) If you abstracted a snow-ball from an avalache, would that prevent the impending danger—(hear, hear) —and the proposal of the hon. member for Caine was just about as sensible and secure. (Hoar.) He denied that the proposal would work as the right hon. member anticipated and if it was only put into operation in such a place as the City of London the result would satisfactorily prove hat the proposal was visionary in the extreme. Re ws-, surprised how such a person as the hon. member could havo brought forward such a measure, especially as no member in that House was more opposed to what he called sodden changes and revolutions. (Haar, hear). He did not care one straw about the proposition with respect to the bill with which they were now discussing, but it would destroy all that was living and eirrgetic in every constituency to which it•was applied. (Hear, hear.) lie looked upon it as one of those crotchety and dreamy propositions which they heard so frequently in that house, and therefore he hoped the committee would reject it. Viscount ORANBOBNE approved of the proposition, and he could not but express kis gratification in wit& nessing the appearance of the hon. member for Binning• ham in a now part, vis., a defender of our ancient eousti• tut ions. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Mr. .1. B. MILL strongly supported the propoaiiion , and said the strong uouservittivir speech that they hat just heard from the hon. member for Birmingham was dimbileas as great a surprise to Urn house as it. Was to himself, be cause it was the fir. t speech of the right hon. gentleman with which he was bound to say he could not cordially concur. Mr. HENLEY opposed the clause. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be La d already expressed his views on this matter without re - servo. He thought it very unwise to adopt so va st a change to produce such little consequences—to e counter such great dargers for such small results. If the principle was only to be applied to boroughs retur ni ng three members, that appeared to him to be futile, as it would most undoubtedly have to be applied in places r 5- turning two members, and why not ? He must dc ane in the month of July to reconsider the wh o lo question of Reform in favour of a system that was in opposition to the customs and manners of the count r y. (Hear, hoar.) The whole principle was agei nst the sound principles of representation in such a country as England. If the principle was adorted it would produce a stagnant representation and a feeble Executive. (Hoar, hear.) The representation of minorities he bad looked upon as a scheme to get crochetty men into fault. They had been successful to an extent, and he did not think it would be right to legislate in order to increase their num ber. (Hear, hear, and loud laughter.) The noble lord the member for Stamford had said that monarchy was dead, that the aristocracy was doomed, and democracy wag triumphant. (Laughter.) He begged leave to doubt that saying, because democracy could not be triumphant until the clause of the hon. member for Caine was adopted. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He for one was not disposed, oven if democracy was triumphant, to change the whole spirit of representation in this great country. 1 Sir G. GREY said ho was iu favour of the amendment to the new clause as proposed by Mr. Morrison, but bcforG that could be moved the clause now under discussion must bo read a second time.
