MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the general discount market there is a very limited inquiry for accommodation, and no change can be reported in the rates charged for the nego ciation of first-class commercial paper. The sum of £95,000 in gold was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The traffic receipts of the East India❑ Railway for the week ending June 16, 1867, amounted to £37,128 3s. 6d. against £28,389 16s. 7d. in the corresponding period in the previous year, showing an increase of £8,738 16s. 7d. At the meeting at Liverpool of the Royal Insur ance Company the report for the year 1866 stated the fire premiums to have been £447,271, showing an increase over the preceding year of £32,528, but added that the numerous fires, both here and abroad, the result of the business, in common with that of most kindred institutions, has bean unprofitable. The directors, however, having retained an ample sum of undivided profits at the last annual meeting, Were able to declare the usual dividend and bonus of 7s. per share, without touching the reserve fund. It also stated that a profit of £lO,OOO had been made in the fire branch during the first six months of the current year. In the life branch the total sum invested for the year, after paying claims and expenses, was £124,165, which, added to former accumulations, makes the total fund £889,746. The specie movements during the past week have been on a rather moderate scale as regards the im ports, which have amounted to about £393,698, in cluding £105,238 from New York by the Hermann £31,000 by the City of Antwerp ; £3,600 by the Allemannia; £71,000 by the Virginia; and £24,220 by the Cuba. The La Place, from Buenos Ayres, has arrived with £95,168, and the Galileo, with £52,272 and about £11,200 in silver, has been re ceived from the continent. The exports have been £9,459 to the East Indies and China by the Euxine, and there have been remittances to the continent through private sources estimated at £661,991, the total amounting to £674,450. Atlantic and Great Western Railway debentures have declined 1, to 21 26, and the Consolidated Mortgage bonds I, to 24 22j. Two o'CLocK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 69f. 300. Heavy ; inanimate.

Mr. DODSON brought up tho report of tho committee of supply. TILE STATUE OF MR. CANNING. Mr. HOPE drew the attention of the house to the rumour that was now becoming general, to the effect that the statue of Mr. Canning was again to be removed from the position it now occupied to the centre of Parliament-square. tie contended that the present site was most approprilte, and if the rumour was true and the statue was again removed, the effect would bo most prejudicial. The statue would stand without a background, a circumstance that would actually detract from its general effect. He contended that the present position was a most dignified one, and that it was not the back slum that many persons had called it. . If it was again altered all perspective would bo removed, And the attempt to carry, out town gardening in Parliament-square would be altogether, destroyed. The central alley of statues, the inviting seats for passers by, and the effect of fountains it was proposed to carry into execu tion in Parliament-square would all be spoiled if the statue was removed. He therefore hoped nothing would be done before Parliament met that would interfere with the ca rry ing out of the proposed imp: ovements in the neighbour hood of the Houses of Parliament. Cul. WILSON-PATTEN said he did not think any desire existed on the part of the relatives and friends of the late Mr. Canning, especially as Lord Canning had no objection to the removal of the statue of his father. Lord ELCfIO thought the effect of the statue would be much better if it was removed from the site it at present occupied. With respect to the statue being placed at the end of the vista at Parliament-square, he did not know whether it was generally known, it was now quite out of the square by at least 15 to 18 feet. With respect to the proposed gardens the effort that had been made in Trafal gar-square did not impress him very favourably as regarded that proposal. Ile was of opinion that the removal of the statue would be a decided improvement. Sir C.I O'LOGLEN tl ought whilst they were engaged in considering the improvements to be made in the vicinity of the Houses of Parliament, the removal of St. Margaret's church might receive consideration. If that was allowed to remain all endeavours at improvement would be useless. Mr. LOCKE said he was one of those who thought the effect of tho statue was very much improved by the re moval to its present site. Mr. HENLEY thought it hardly fair that at a 12 o'clock sitting on Saturday the house should be called upon to givo what he called a Parliamentary opinion upon such a matter. (Hear, hear.) They had come down under the impression that only imperative business would be trans acted, and then the present subject was brought forward. He thought that in its original position 100 persons saw the statue for every one looked upon it now. (Hear, hoar.) Lord J. MANNERS said, with respect to the removal of the statue two things had to be considered, taste and sentiment. As a matter of taste he thought the statue would not be improved by another removal. He was aware that a different opinion was entertained in the House o Lords to the almost general opinion of that House with respect to the position of the statue, and he hoped that nothing would be done that would lead to the two Houses being brought into serious opposition in the matter. With respect to the removal of St. Margaret's Church, he must say that the original intentions of the Government re mained unchanged. He would take car) that nothing was done during the recess which would prejudice the fina determination as to the removal of the statue, or interfere with the original intentions with respect to the improve ment of the neighbourhood. The subject theu dropped, and the report of the com. ruittoo of supply was agreed to. FORTIFICATIONS (EXPENSES) BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Lord ELCLIO thought that before everything was set. tied with respect to these fortifications an effective experi ment should be made. He therefore suggested that one embrasure of the Devonport breakwater should be con structed, and submitted to six shots from Colonel Palliser's 9-inch cold projectile gun, and six shots from that officer's 600-pound rifle gun, at 200 yards' range, in order to test the efficiency of the plan it was proposed to carry into effect.. _ _ Mr. LOCKE also thought it highly desirable that the experiments suggested by tho noble lord should bo tried before the whole thing was completed. The bill was read a third time and passed. AGRICULTURAL GANGS BILL. This bill was read a second time. NAVAL KNIGHTS OF WINDSOR BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Sir C. O'LOUGHLIN moved the insertion of the follow ing new clause:—" After the passing of this Act it shall not be obligatory on any naval knight of Windsor, not being a member of the Established Church of England and Ireland, to attend Divine service in Saint George's Chapel, daily or at all." Cal. NOTT suggested that the matter should be left to the direction of her Majesty. The clause was ultimately withdrawn, and the bill passod hrough committee, and was reported without amend- month. THE CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. This bill was brought in by Mr. lIUNT, and read a first time. Tho house then adjourned. THE CLOSE OF THE SESSION. Yesterday evening at five o'clock the Commons decision on the Lords' amendments were taken by the appointed members of the Lower House to the Lords. The reasons for disagreement with the amendments of the Upper House which had been refused were also handed in. These had been ar ranged in the morning by the committee appointed by the House. The Lords will take those rea sons into consideration on Monday; after which, if they should disagree with them, they will be returned to the Commons, and a conference will follow. It is, however, believed that the Peers will accept the reasons. These steps necessitating delay, and the vote in supply leading to more discussion than was expected, it is now supposed that Parliament will not separate before Tuesday, August the 20th, when it will be pro rogued by commission. The House of Commons will sit to-day to report supply and pave the way for the Appropriation Act. But as there are many minor arrangements necessary, and as the House will not close its sittings next week, the Ministerial whitebait dinner has been fixed for Wednesday, the 14th inst. The Queen's Speech will then be drafted, and agreed to at a Cabinet Council on Thursday. The Appropriation Act, it is not doubted, will be passed through both Houses by Friday next week.

POLICE IN rELLIGESCE.—This Day, 311RIABOIZOUGIE SIREET. TIIE WAY TO CHECK STREET RUFFIANISM.- John Edward Piektnan, a young man, was charged before Mr. Arnold with assaulting Mr. Augustus Le Maont, French chemist, Princes -street, Leicester- square. Mr. Le Maont said that about 11 o'clock the previous night, after closing his shop, lie went to the pillar letter box to post a letter, and on his return, and just as he was entering his house, the prisoner and some other young men came along, and, spitting in his band, threw it in his face, and two of the three of them, including the prisoner, struck him, the blow the prisoner gave him knocking out one of his teeth. He went after the prisoner and the others, who all ran away, and he succeeded in stop ping the prisoner and gave him into custody. In answer to the prisoner, th 6 complainant denied kicking him, and, in answer tollr. Arnold, said the prisoner and the others were entire strangers to him. Police-constable Shrives, a plain clothes officer of the C Division, said he saw the prisoner and some others in Coventry-street last night pushing persons about, and at the corner of Coventry-street they pushed a man against the shutters of a shop. He followed them up Princes-street, and saw M. Le Maont just entering his house. The young men did something to Mr. Le 'Maont, who spoke to them, and the prisoner and others struck M. Le Maont, and ran away, and M. Le Maont ran after him and caught him, and gave him into custody to a constable in uniform. The prisoner said he never assaulted the com plainant, and called a witness named Henry Stobes; but on Shrives stating that he was one of the lads who was along with the prisoner Pickman, Mr. Arnold ordered him into custody, and Shrives being called made a similar statement to that given by him before. M. Le Maont said he could know Stobes as being the one who gave him a violent blow on the back of the neck, while Pickman struck him in the face. Mr. Arnold said Pickman appeared to belong to a gang of young ruffians going about molesting everybody. He should commit him for two months with hard labour, and ordered him to find at the end of that term a surety in £5 to be of good be haviour for six months. As the other prisoner wished to call a witness, he would adjourn the case. ASSIZE IIV7ELLIGENCE. NORFOLK ClRCUlE—Nonwicil, August 9. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justic.l Byles.) The trial of Hubbard Lingley, for the murder of his uncle, Benjamin Black, commenced yesterday, was continued to-day, the jury, by whom he is being tried having been kept together at the Maid's Head lintel during the night. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Drake were for the prose cation ; Mr. Sims Reeve for the defence. Before his lordship adjourned the hearing of this case, which he did after Mr. Metcalfe had summed up the evidence for the prosecution, one witness, the last that was called for the prosecution, was put into the box-L.-a man named Collins,. in order that Mr. Reeve might have an opportunity of cross examining hint if he pleased, inasmuch as he had got from one of the other witue. ses an answer to the effect that during the inquiry by the police the prisoner had said " Surely it can't be Collies," and had mentioned to one of the polieenisa " that his uncle had suspected Collins of taking pheasaws' eggs." It turned out, however, that Collins was not near the wood on the day of Black's death. Mr. Reeve, as soon as his lord ship took his scat this morning, proceeded with his address to the jury, and began with criticising the statement made by Mr. Metcalfe of the probable motives for the crime. These were two—one that the prisoner was anxious to obtain his uncle's place, and this, as Mr. Reeve contended, was not in the least supported by any part of the evidence by any witness. The other, that the prisoner had, as was proved by three or four witnesses, uttered violent threats against his uncle, and as to these Mr. Reeve prayed the jury to look at them more as foolish, vulgar expressions of an irritable man than as threats of intended vengeance, at the same ti na contrasting them with his constant kindness and attention towards his uncle's family, not only before, but after his uncle's death. Mr. Reeve then urged that the prisoner's conduct and demeanour after the body was found were those of a man who had not so dreadful a crime weighing on his con science, commented on the evidence about the frag ments of paper and bottles at the shed, which he said really amounted to nothing, for that was a place very likely to be used by tramps or other passers by; about the prisoner's flask found in the wood, too slight a piece of evidence, because it was empty at the time, and, dwelling at ,somo length about the No. 2 shot found in the body, contended that not only was the evidence as to the fact that it was No. 2 that was sold by Scott so weak as to be unworthy of credit, but that even if the jury could place credit in the judgment and opinion of Scott (a grocer) and his assistant who measured out the shot as to the quality and size of shot, yet that the fact that a man should go to a shop where he usually dealt and where he was well known to buy the very sized shot that was found in the body, when any other sized shot would have been fatal, the day be fore he was intending to commit murder, was so improbable that it got rid altogether of the link in the chain of evidence. The learned counsel then went minutely through the different statements of the witnesses and the facts they were called to prove, and among other points urged that there was nothing in the fact that the prisoner was the first to come up to the body after it was discovered, inasmuch as his work lay in a part of the wood, while it was abun dantly clear that he came to the spot from the direc tion where that work lay, and must have got to his work about the time when the shot was fired. He concluded with reminding the jury that if the charge against the prisoner was not proved beyond all reasonable doubt, and they were not fully satisfied that his was the hand that fired the shot, they were bound to acquit him. His Lordship summed up the whole case, remark ing first upon the length and complication of the evidence, reminding the jury of the double duty thrown upon them—that to the prisoner, who was not to be convicted on suspicion, however strong, but on convincing evidence; and that to the public, whose safety and security dependedon the vigilance and care with which the protection afforded them by the law were maiutained—and in these cases the law means the jury who have to try them—a id commenting upon the nature of the evidence, which, as is most usual iu the eh trge of murder, is circum stantial, not direct, because while those who do commit murder take care that no human eye shall see them, yet frequently cannot do it without leav ing traces, and those traces, when picked up and put together, form a chain of circumstances. his lord ship then went through the evidence, marshalling it in order of time, and beginning with that which was given for the purpose of showing motive. The main force of this rested upon the statements of John Spinks, a l a b ourer , tyre© witnesses. The first, detailed a conversation with the prisoner, held about two months before the day of the murder, in which the latter said he had been falling out with his uncle because he had left his work too soon, and that he would do for him. The second, Maria Pealing, said that talking with him three weeks before the murder the prisoner said " We have had a master row, and I took up a hatchet and swore to cut the down, and this I would have done ;" and again on the Saturday before the event the prisoner said, " I and my foreman (meaning his uncle) have had another row," adding that if his uncle did not reckon up for him he would for his uncle, he would finish him off one day, " him, I hate him." While Mrs. Pealing's husband, who saw the prisoner three weeks before the uncle's death, stated that in the course of conversation he said " I should not mind chopping him down with my hatchet, him, I hate him." The deposition of this witness was read by his lordship, as the last words did not appear in them, though the rest did ; it should also be noticed that there was a little varia tion between Mrs. Pealing's statements before the magistrate and in court here, but not of any importance. The learned Judge then went on with the history of the case, drawing attention to the evidence about the charger, the shot, the appearances in the wood, showing where the gun had been fired, the finding the body, its appearance and condition, and the demeanour and manner of the prisoner, when lie answered to the labourer's calls. .11is lordship having most carefully gone through the principal parts of the evidence said—" It will now be for you, gentlemen, •to say whether you believe upon this evidence the prisoner is the man who committed the murder, for-that murder it was there can be but little doubt. The prosecution has put forward the follow ing points :—First they allege as motive the quarrels and threats and murderous intentions,which, if they are to be believed, do bear very strongly against the prisoner; if not; they are wilful efforts on the part of false witnesses to swear away another man's life. Next, the prosecution proves that shot was bought by the prisoner, and the question is, what for ? Then it was shown that a few days before the death of Benjamin Black the prisoner W 5 trying, his gun, in answer to which the counsel for the pri soner says that if he had been meditating such a deed he would not have done this in public, and where he was so well known. his putting the Then you have his de he nial of having a gun, and pf of . police on a wrong scent, and of . his b l o u t d h in s g ay t wag i,i which the defence and prosecution order to avoid suspicion, and though the r hide,was s thaom t is doubt about the time whet] t he gun was e not so material a question as t bout the pieces this one, pri soner hide it?'

A FRIENDS OF LABOUR LOAN SOCIETY. , ---Mr. A. 11. Watson, the chairman, and one of the trustees of the Friends of Labour Loan Society, No. 2,511, held at the Waterman's Arms beer-house, in Cathe rine -street, Limehouse, applied to Mr. Benson for a summons to compel Mr. J. 0. Harding, the land lord of the house, to refund certain moneys in his possession. llarding was the treasurer of the society, and money was required by certain members on loan, or to withdraw their deposits. The treasurer declined to pay away any money, and the opera tions of the society were at a stanchtill. Mr. Benson--Then Harding has your money, and clings to it? Applicant--Ya, sir ; he won't Fly a farthing. Mr: Benson said each memba of the society was a contributor. It was a joint-stock company, over which he had no control. The chairman could either sue the treasurer in the County Court, or file a bill in Chancery against him. Ile advised nothing. The parties aggrieved had better consult a respectable solicitor, and act on his advice. MARKETS.--This day. COVENT GARDEN.

A paigul exp.:Hence has already shown bow use less and dangerous is any attack on the lines of . Curipaity, which' is only an outwork of Fort Hut mayta. Iu the assault of September 23d the allies lost seven to eight thousand men, mostly troops of the line, leaving little better than raw recruits as survivors.- Since then the cholera has carried off eight or ten thousand men, and the s::ourge has re cently- broken out afresh with much violence at Tuyuty ;. all owinng to the pestilential taarshei where the allieJ are encamped. Moreover an extraordinary and unexpected inun dation has forced the Brazilians to evacuate Cu ruzu, with immense loss of men and war material; for, as soon a 3 the enemy noted the movement of the Brazilians, they opened a new masked battery of heavy guns, and caused awful havoc among the ill fated Brazilians, who had numbers killed, wounded, and drowned. At the same time the . flood caused great losses in the Argentine camp ; 3,000 bales of hay, 10,000 arrobes of corn, a number of horses drowned, and a quantity of coal, have been the losses caused by this disaster, which has been as fatal as a great defeat. No wonder that the cholera has returned among the poor soldiers who are _encamped in such morasses. But apart from these devastations, what hope is there of forcing the lines of Curupaity ? They are defended by the Estero Tuyuty, which is 500 yards across, and ten or twelve feet deep. Then the Paraguayans have a fosse thirty feet wide and eighteen deep, which communicates with Lake Piris and is full of water, running six miles all around liumayta.. After this they have a line of abattis, from 100 to 120 feet deep; then another ditch like the first, thirty feet wide and eighteen deep ; before we reach their grand parapet fortification of Curu paity, which is protected by " chevaux-de-f rise," and surmounted by splendid batteries of heavy guns, well served by expert gunners, and the whole de fended by 30,000 valiant soldiers determined to do or die for the independence of their country. Seldom in the annals of history do we find a people subdued when fighting for the;ndepeTiderice of their country. In Buenos Ayr in 1807, we repelled an army of 12,000 British troops. But passing over such ionsconsiderans, it is evident' that the allied position at Tuyuty is tnbe ; far from obtaining any advantage, the allies will gra dually melt away in those swamps, and the grand Brazilian fleet, now useless for more than a year, shows itself powerless to overcome the obstacles placed by the enemy. Some other route must therefore be taken. Supposing the Allies consider their honour at stake, to continue the war they must adopt speedy and energetic means to carry it on, and immediately abandon the position of Tuyuty, to change the seat of war to Misiones, invading Paraguay by the pass of Itapua. As to any fears of. the Paraguayans then invading Corrientes, this cannot take place so long as the Brazilian fleet holds the Tres Bocas ; and the bulk of the enemy's army would have to march inland through Paraguay to oppose the in vading forces from Misiones. For an invasion by Itapua let us consider the elements necessary. The allied armies can still muster 25,000 fighting men, not counting 14,000 sick of cholera, chucho, typhus, &c. The Argentine Republic, they say, can raise new levies of 14 or 15 thousand men in Buenos Ayres and the provinces ; and Braid promises to send 30,000 negroes ; this would make in all 80,000 men, besides those in hospital. Now, for the maiutenan , v , of these 80,000 men during three mouths (thes-thne requisite for march ing from Itapua to Asuncion) we shoull need 3,000 bullock waggons, to carry 300,000 arrobes of dried beef, allowing lib. a day to each soldier. For 3,000 waggons we should have at least 30,000 oxen ; besides 50,000 horses for an artillery train of 200 guns and the cavalry. It would be indispensable to have all these elements ready before commencing such an expedition through an inhospitable country and a fanatical popula.- tion. But we could never procure such sup plies of animals in Corrientes, that province having already borne the brunt of war for two years; they could not be found nearer than Entre-Rios, or about 600 miles from the seat of war, and before reaching their destination would have to cross the rivers Corrientes, Batel, Santa Lucia, and Parana, and a number of swamps. After such a journey it would be necessary to give the animals a few mouths' re pose among the fine pastures of Misiones. Supposing that after twelve months the Allies got together all these elements, and that we invade Paraguay by the -middle of 1868, the line of march will not indeed offer such obstacles as by Curu paity, but there will be found many and great diffi culties. Besides numberless swamps and fens there are two steep and rapid rivers, the Tibicuari and Paraguari, which can only be crossed by pon toon bridges. These are briefly the dangers and obstacles that await the Allies in this remote expedition by Itapua. We need hardly call to mind the plagues and pes tilences prevalent in those swamps, under a scorch ing sun, the countless ambuscades that the enemy could everywhere make in the woods, the mines, and other artificial impediments, and the probabi lity that the enemy would burn down all the coun try south of the Tibiquari, and expose our troops of cattle to certain death. But even taking it for granted that after losing one third of our great army in sickness and battle, we ultimately reach Asuncion, what security have we that the Paraguayans will not barn down their capital and leave us nothing but the smoking ruins? The Russians burned .lloscow in 1812, to save their national independence, and if the Paraguayans do the same with Asuncion the Allies will be ruined. Naval and Military Intelligence.
