NONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL IN TELLIGENCis TWELVE O'CLOCK. The supplies of available capital in the general discount market still continue abundant, and more than sufficient for all legitimate requirements. The rates charged for the negotiation of first-class Paper remains unaltered. Gold to the amount of £lB,OOO was taken to the 13 ank of England on Saturday. The Africa has arrived from New York with specie to the amount of £23,300. The following is a report from Prince of Wales Mine :—ln the 55 west the south part of the lode 13 becoming small, 11 ft. wide, worth £lO per fin., with nearly all the water coming from the north Part, which, we believe, is the main lode ; the latter we shall begin to take down on Monday next. In the 55 west the lode is 31 ft. wide, worth over £5O Per fin. A splendid course of ore 2 slopes in back of the 55 east and west of the winze, worth £4O per fin. Slope in back of the 45 east, worth lo per fathom. In the 45 east we have an improve ment. A branch six inches wide, good work, coming In from the south side, and making into the main I °de• This we consider an important feature, as we have reasons to believe a good course of oro will be met with in this end shortly. In the cross cut north in the 55 fathom level the water is still coining from the breast of the end very strong. ;rim progress of business in the manufacturing districts has in a great measure been interrupted by the Whitsun holidays. At Manchester, how ever, prices of cloths and yarns have remained steady ; while in the woollen districts of Leeds, B radford, Huddersfield, the operations on season able goods have been to a full average extent. At Nottingham and Leicester there has not been much animation, although manufacturers generally are tolerably well engaged. At Birmingham, Sheffield, 411 (1 Wolverhampton there has been a very mode rate amount of business reported, although a few ° ,,,rders have been received fo r I n di a , China, and Japan. The directors of the Rossa Grande Gold Mining '°lnpany (Limited) have announced the second issue °f the new shares, which will complete the authorised Capital of £lOO,OOO ; the deposit is 10s. per share 4111 : 1 ls. per share premium. This company was established in January, 1864, for the purpose of W orking certain gold mines in Brazil. During the time the company had been waiting for legal pos ae'ssion a new twelve- head stamping mill has been erected, and work, preparatory to the opening of th e mines, carried on upon a small scale. The c ompany baying obtained legal possession of the [ 3r operty, Messrs. Henry Haymen and Robert Hes 7eth, directors of the Don Pedro North del Rey G old 1 , Mining Company (Limited), have joined the hard, and instructions have been sent out to carry °II the works with all possible despatch, to promote Which object the directors have decided to appoint a S uperintendent, so Ithat the mining captain's time d ay be entirely devoted to laying out and develop loB the mines. The appointment of superintendent "as be en o ff ere d t o a gen tl eman w h o h as b een con nected with Brazilian gold mining upwards of 30 e ars, and the directors have reason to think that he 7 111 accept the appointment. The directors have !akitracted him to commence operations on the un explored Jacotings formation, from which satis 'actory results are looked forward to, considering its clos e proximity to the Gongo Soco lode. t he half-yearly dividend, due Ist July next, on e First Con s t r u c ti on B on d s o f th e New Orleans, Ja ckson, an d G rea t N or th ern R a il roa d, h a ve been an nounced by Messrs.

COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lords Justices.) IN RE SUBURBAN HOTS'. COMPANY. This was an appeal from an order of Vice-Chan cellor Wood, that the Suburb an H ote l C ompany (an hotel situated in the Vale of Health, Hamp stead) should be wound up and the liabilities liqui dated. Mr. Roxburgh, Q.C., opposed for the original petitioner, and Mr. Geo. Pulling and Mr. Glasse, Q.C., for the majority of the shareholders of the hotel company. Mr. Glasse stated that the shareholders, whom he represented, were desirous that the speculation should still be continued, and that in their judgment there was every prospect that it would ultimately prove a profitable under taking. It appeared that in compliance with the suggestion of the Vice-Chancellor, there had been a meeting of the shareholders, and that the majority were iu favour of going on with the hotel business. It was true that a resolution had been passed relating to the closing of the hotel, but it was only to operate between September and October ; when the business of the hotel was a mere nothing it was thought advisable to close, in order to save expense. lie contended that it was a great hardship that now, when the hotel was likely to be remunerative, that it should be wound up.' Like all undertakings of a similar kind it was not to be supposed to be profitable at the very commencement, and an op portunity ought to be given to the company to revoop itself. In March, 1866, the petitioner him self had proposed that it should remain open for another 12 months. Mr. Roxburgh, who appeared for the petitioner, contended that though a meeting had been held, in compliance with the Vice-Chancellor's suggestion, that it was a meeting composed of shareholders, whose shares had been bought for them by Mr. Donald Nicol, the vendor, and that the present board of directors were only his nominees. If it were, as his learned friend had stated, he was in an awkward position, but it was shown by the evidence that £15,000 had already been spent, and that £5,000 of it was irrecoverably lost. The company had never paid, and in the opinion of tho dissentient minority of the share holders it never would, not even if it were managed in a proper way, which his learned friend had ad mitted that it had not been hitherto. He would ask their lordship; therefore, to confirm the order of the Vice-Chancellr, which he was now support ing. It appeared from the evidence that even Mr. Donald Nicol himself did not have much confidence in it, inasmuch as he had offered to dispose to him shares at much less than their original value. The case was not concluded when we went to press. THE SUN. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1867. MARKETS.--This day. MARK LANE. Tho trade, for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday was very quiet, and the rates of the previous week were barely maintained. Barley, oats, beans, and peas, however, wore steady and without material alteration in value, The flour trade was quiet, at late prices. On the Continent the wheat trade is quiet at drooping currencies; but spring corn rules tolerably firm. At New York the market both for wheat and flour is depressed, and a considerable fall has taken place in the quotations. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were very moderate. The imports from abroad comprised 23,482 quarters of wheat, 7,661 barley, 27,736 oats, 1,406 rye, 10 beaus, 25 peas, 960 tares, 5,880 linseed, 4,192 rape and oilseeds, and 1,900 sacks of flour. The supply of English wheat on sale at Mark-lane to-day was dull, but the condition of produce was good. Millers showed more disposition to buy, and the show of produce on the stands was disposed of at the rates of Monday last. There was, however, a slight tendency to improve. The market was fairly supplied with fresh wheat. The amount of business transacted was moderate, and prices ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain wore, in fair demand, at full quo tat ions. The sup ply of larley on sale was moderate. For mos qualities there was a fair demand, at last Monday's currency. Malt sold heavily, and prices had a drooping tendency. The market was but moderately supplied with ()Ms. For must qualities there was a steady demand, and prices were rather on the advance. Beans were in short supply, and the trade ruled firm at full currencies. Peas, which wire in short supply, changod hands at full currencies. For flour there was a moderate inquiry at late rates. The amount of business transacted in seeds was very moderate. In prices no change took place. Cakes were in firm demand at full quotations. CURRENCY PER IMP.

A moderato supply of foreign stock was on sale here to-day, in very middling condition. The trade, both for beasts and sheep, was slow, at barely the rates of Monday last. Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts were only moderate. An increased supply was re ceived from Scotland, in prime condition. The attendance of butchers, owing to the absence of the greater portion o the country buyers, was small, and the beef trade, as re garded all qualities, ruled heavy, at a decline in the quo tations as compared with Monday last of 2d per Blbs. Prime Sots and crosses realised 5s 4d por 81bs. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge shire amounted to 1,350 Scots, short-horns, and crosses; from Lincolnshire, 140 oxen; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 257 Scots and crosses. The supply of sheep in the pens was moderate, but the quality and condition were only middling. The trade was quieter than on Monday last, and that day's improve ment in the quotations was not maintained. Prime Downs and half-breds sold at 5s 4d per 81bs. A good supply of lambs was exhibited for sale, chiefly in very middling condition. The trade was dull, and prices were lower, the quotation being Gs to is. per 81bs. Calves were in moderate supply.

THE OLD STORY.—MORE WIFE BEATINCL—John James, a shoemaker, residing at No. 19, Grosvenor market, was char Bed before Mr. Knox with asiault ing his wife. Sarah Junes, the complainant, sail—About 12 o'clock on Sat ur d ay night lay husband came home in a very excit e d state, and body with a carpet hag. is a daily and burst open the bed rocm door and s t ruc k me v i o l ea tly about the face occur rence for him t o get d run k an d a buse me. I have to work continually for the support of my children. Mr. Knox—llas he been at this Court before ? Complainant—l took out a summons against him, but as he pleaded hard to be forgiven I did not appear against him. When he came into the room he called me an adulterous woman, and then sot to striking me with the carpet bag. Prisoner--I asked you who bolted the door, and because you did not answer me I felt indignant. Police-constable Burgess, 142 o—On Saturday night I met the complainant. Blood was running out of her mouth, and she had a lump on her arm. She charged her husband with assaulting her, and he said that he h a d d one i t, an d if she came near him he would do it aga i n. The prisoner was drunk. I was informed by the neighbours that two or three times last week there were rows caused by the pri soner, and that having a knife in his hand at the time he threatened to cut his wife's throat. Prisoner—l am sorry it occurred, but it shall not occur again. I have a young family. Mr. Knox—You should have thought of your family before you struck your wife. Complainant—Twice last week he took up a knife to me. I have endured his ill treatment for years. He has been worse since I took out the sum mons and let him off. One day last week he tried to throw himself off the parapet, and tore up all his clothes and my shawl. I consider my life is in danger. Mr. Knox—sot only yours, but his own too. (To the prisoner.) It's the old story, drink, drink, drink. You will not be satisfied till you have taken your wife's life and your own. I shall com mit you for three months with hard labour. THAMES. AN INCORRIGIBLE THIEF.—Mary Ann Looney, who is about 40 years of age, and has become pre maturely old in constitution by drink, dissipation, and crime, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing a pewter quart pot, value 45., the pro perty of Mr. 'William Walker, landlord of the Red Lion, a large public-house in High-street, Whitechapel. The prisoner has been convicted of felony by magistrates summarily and by juries at the sessions 20 fillies, and her depredations commenced here at an early age, soon after leaving Ireland. She was last sentenced to three years' penal servitude for an extensive robbery in a shop. Last night she was in the Red Lion, and Joseph Healey, the prosecutor's potman, saw her take a quart pot from the counter and put it into a tin can containing boiled grey peas, rendered green by a strong solu tion of soda. The potman gave information to his master, and Mr. Walker took the lid off the tin can aid found the pot boiling in the midst of the green peas. It was a new measure, and worth 4s. The prisoner made a long defence, and said she had been drinking all day with a man and his wife in the Red Lion, and became so much intoxicated that she did not know what she did. She begged of the magistrate to have mercy upon her. The potman of the Red Lion said the prisoner was sober last night. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial, and directed that an account of her numerous convic tions should be given to the judge who would pre side at her trial. STEALING PLANTS FROM A GARDEN.—Two youths, named Newton and Gresley, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing plants and flowers from the front garden of a house in Sidney-street, Mile-end. A police-constable caught the prisoners in flagrante dilecto in the garden of Mr. Charles Parish. Newton was putting some beautiful geraniums in a basket, and Gresley was standing by holding it up. The basket was full of choice plants and flowers, the property of Mr. Parish. The prisoners pleaded guilty, and Mr. Paget sen tenced them to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three months. WESTMINSTER. A DELICATE AFFAIR AND POSITION OF DIFFI CULTY.--All aged man, of genteel appearance, came to the court this morning, and said to the magis trate, " I am very anxious to have your advice, Sir, on a matter of considerable difficulty. I have a son who is in India holding a most respectable appoint ment in the civil service. He is a married man, with a wife and three children. They have been left here for the purpose of the children's education, and I have just sent one, the eldest girl, to a boarding school. My son transmits money regularly from India for the maintenance of his wife and children, and the question now is whe ther it should not be stopped in consequence of the impropriety of her conduct." kr. Selfe—What sort of impropriety is it? Applicant—l went there a few days ago, and to my great surprise found my son's wife suckling an infant. I said to her, " How is this ?" and she re plied, "I could not help it." Mr. Selfe---How long has your son been away from his wife? Applicant—Three years ; and he is not expected to return for two more years. Having made the discovery I have stated, I thought it would be the best course to ask you whether I should at once be justified in stopping the wife's allowance, Mr. Selfe—.Js she living with the man, or is this the result of casual impropriety which " she could not help ?" Applicant—l am not aware that she has any man living with her. a matter for a magis- Alr. Selfe —This is hardly trate. As it takes but a very short time now, I should recommend you to communicate with your son before you take any steps. to you. I will do so. Applicant—l am much obliged MARYLEBONE. MORE STREET ASSAULTS.—Mary Leonard, well known to the police as a drunken and disorderly character, was brought up ou a warrant charged with assaulting the police, and attempting to rescue a prisoner. Harris, 154 1), said—Last Tuesday he was bring ing a prisoner—a most desperate man—to the court, when he was set upon by the prisoner and her two companions. She struggled hard to get his prisoner away. She kicked him and managed to get him down. Her language was frightful, and she said she would knife him. Brown, 399 A, corroborated the above, and added that the prisoner kicked him as well. John Marshall, a tradesman, deposed to seeing the prisoner commit the asaults. He told her if she did not desist he would assist the police. =he said she would knife him. He had to complain much of the prisoner and her companions' conduct. He had an apron full of bricks which had been thrown into his shop. Prisoner said she only did it when he struck her with his fist. Witness said he had better use for biz, fist. The prisoner was further obscene language. charged m ith using _ _ Mr. D'Eyncourt said she was a low and violent woman. For the assault she must be imprisoned for a month. For the bad langua ge of a further term seven days. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET—This Day. A very firm market, especially for American. Sales probably 10,000 or 12,000 bales. SPORTING INTEL LIGENOE—This Day. VICTORIA CLUB BETTING.—Tiers DAY. A good attendance, and besides paying and re ceiving some back business transactions. For the Northumberland Plate Lady Vane was again in healthy request, five fifties, besides other invest ments, being recorded about her: Fervacques re mained at his recently quoted price, 5 to 2, but was not in demand. War, however, had a somewhat coming tendency. There was a strong disposition to back Lucifer for the Goodwood Stakes ; conse quently, after 20 to 1 had rapidly been accepted, 100 to G became the highest offer, n Well also was noted lbout 131inkhoolie, while a long string of ...lers met with support as below.

SPORTING NOTES. The local meetings last week passed off pleasantly. To-morrow the Bibury Club hold their meeting at Stockbridge, a*d to strengthen their card three great two-year-old events are taken out of the pro gramme of the " open" gathering, which makes no earthly difference, as the ground run over is all the same. These three juvenile items, supposing they come to a head, will be worth a good eight thousand guineas in the aggregate, and the Marquis of Hast ings having some crack things in each of them, there will be something additional hanging to their results. These are not the only great contests to be decided, several others having to come off before Friday is over ; and as most of the two-year-old celebrities, whether of public or private repute, are engaged in them, the returns will be vastly important. In one of the 1,000 soya. sweepstakes —the Donnington—we have Mameluke, who is ru moured to be much better than Lady Elizabeth, which character he can sustain if heis capable of beat ing Sir Joseph's selected champion, Blue Gown or Rosicrucian, to say nothing of Innerdale and the Duke of Newcastle's birds of promise. As the course is only five furlongs, there is a chance of Blue Gown taking the rich prize away from Stockbridge, and Danebury is not quite certain to retain the richer one, the Hamilton Sweepstakes, for fillies, L6onie being a " rurn'un" for even Athena to tackle, and she might stay the five furlongs best. Innerdale will be more at home in the Biennial, for which, however, Mat Dawson has also three of the Duke of Newcastle's to choose from, and it is the selected of the stable that will have to be backed (supposing , of course, the Marquis of Hastings does not " play" with either Athena or Mameluke) against the Duke of Beaufort's Herald or Europa, Mr. Chaplin's high priced St. Ronan, Sir F. Johnstone's Michael de Basco, or Banditto, Mr. Alerry's Parson, Mr. Thel lusson's Black Diamond, or anything else. These are all animals of repute, and in giving the prefe rence to the Beaufort hoops it must be admitted there is not much to feel confident over. On Wednesday there is a capital day's racing, com mencing with the Biennial, which Vauban should have no difficulty in securing ; and the Coven try Stakes is almost an equal gift for Lady Elizabeth, if pulled out for it. The Eltham Plate has one of the best entries of the week, John Day, William Day, and Alfred Day, as well as Mat Dawson and Dover, contributing to swell the subscription. Lady Elizabeth, however, is so much superior to the others that she cannot be beaten. In the Croon© Produce, Innerdale may perhaps turn up the winner, and in the Beaufort Handicap it looks to be any odds upon Julius. The Railway Plate reads to be a good thing for Miller's Maid, and in the Visitors' Plate Wild Agnes and Historian strike me as having the call of the others. On Thursday there is no falling off in the prospect of the sport, and Lady Elizabeth has another good race before her in the Troy Stakes. The Stock bridge Cup will drop down to a small field, and Lord Lyon and Leoriie will be found the best for it ; and the Hastings Plate should go toWild Moor, who ran very fast in the Derby. On Friday there are three events apparently at the mercy of the Marquis of Hastings, with Lady Elizabeth and See 3aw in the two Sweepstakes, and Lecturer in the Hurst bourne Cup, Savernake being scarcely in a condi tion to compete with the gallant little Ascot hero yet, even with 101 b. the best of the weights. Selim ought to win the Bishop Burton Stakes, and Capitola tho Grimston Plate. A FRESH MAN. NOTES FEO3I TRAINING QUARTERS. lIS DAY. NE WMARKET.

TIURD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 O'CLOCK. IMPERIAL PARMA HENT HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took Me seat on the woolsack a five o'clock. CHANCERY BUSINESS BILL The LORD CHANCELLOR introduced a bill, and it was road a first time, for regulating the business in the Superior Courts in Chancery, and the business in the Chambers of these Judges belonging to those Courts. STANDING ORDERS RELATING TO RAILWAYS. Lord STANLEY of Alderley'said that he trusted that there would be some regulation introduced relative to the standing orders regarding railways, inasmuch as they were at present very unsat:sfactory with regard to both Houses of Parliament. Lord REDESDALE was understood to say that a pro position of the kind was likely to be carried out. The Marquis of CLANRIOARDE thought that some thing with regard to the standing orders relating to rail ways ought to be brought in next session. The subject then dropped. THE SITTINGS OF THE HOUSE OF LORD 3. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said that he considered that it would be advisable that their Lordships' house should sit earlier; at four o'clock, for instance, or at least at half-past four. He believed that a great number of the young members would then attend who did not do so now. He therefore gave notice that he should move on the subject on Friday next. THE COUNTY COURTS ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was committed, and objections were made to certain portions of it relating to public house scores, trials as to property and legitimacy which might be brought (under the regulations of the bill) before a county court, and various other points as.to jtidgments, the investment of money, small trust funds, &c. Lord CAIRNS said that there was one point which he would direct their lordships' attention to, and that was im prisonment for debt. It was said that such imprisonment was virtually extinct, but it was most lively in the county courts. In those courts they imprisoned a man who was confessed to have no property, and to encourage him to earn his own living and free himself from debt he was imprisoned. In fact they imprisoned the very man who was dependent upon his own exertions to earn his own living and pay his debts. He trusted that at this juncture, or at a further stage of the bill, something would be introduced to alleviate this hardship. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that this was a _question which he could not, and must decline to ent er into. Lord CAIRNS said that the very recital ofthheadjudttsg-t ments was quite sufficient to show- what he , stated. It showed that the defendant had u n r o p au ro d pe o l r o t u y, and therefore was dependant upon his l sequently the greatest hardship was inflicted upon him. The LORD c onsidered CHANCELLOR imprisonment was abolished it would inflict tmoreha that hardshipif the upon his wife and children, who would pro babl y lose the little furniture they po ssessed. 'Y BILL. The bill theilLevnytNth,sroucgahAcßomilnittee. This bill was read a second and third time. CHESTER COURTS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. THE SOUTH OF IRELAND. The Marquis' of CLANRICARDE said that, with regard to the notice which he had given, calling attention to the state of the Southern provinces of Ireland, and the mili tary drill there, he trusted that their lordships would allow him to withdraw it. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tms EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. UNIVERSITIES OF DURHAM AND LONDON. Mr. J. GOLDSMID said he intended to move an amend ment to the effect that it would be inadvisable to group the London University with that of Durham. LEAVE OF ABSENCE. Mr. HANBURY-TRACY asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether it was the intention of the Admiralty to make any alteration in the amount of leave granted to naval officers, so that an equivalent to the leave of one month per annum on full pay, at proseut only enjoyed by officers on the home station, may beg r anted to those re turning from foreign service ? Mr. CORRY said some alterations had been made which conferred certain privileges, but a circular would soon be issued givinc , full details. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Mr. GOLDSMID asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of the Government to introduce a measure for the more effectual discovery and punishment of persons using false weights and measures? Mr. HARDY said a commission of inquiry irto the state of the standards was now sitting, and until it had reported he could not state what was to be done. PROMOTION IN THE ARMY. Sir C. RUSSELL asked the Secretary of State for War whether majors promoted for distinguished service would be allowed brevet rank as lieutenant-colonels after eight years' service, as in the case of lieutenant-colonels, who under the existing warrant aro promoted to the rank of full colonel after eight years' service. Sir J. PAKINGTON said the question was regulated by royal warrant, and he had no power beyond it. In 1864 there was an inquiry, and it was then decided to adhere to the existing terms of the war, ant, but ho felt the subject was one which might be reconsidered, and if he was ap plied to by the Horse Guards he should give the applica tion his best consideration. THE IRISH REFORM .BILL. Mr. STACKPOOLE asked the Chief. Secretary for Ire land when he proposed to introduce the Isish Reform Bill ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said tho Government had considered the question of the Irish Re form Bill with the greatest desire to deal with it, but the present time was extremely unpropitious, as there was in that country a general feeling of distrust and a consider able sense of danger. Under these circumstances, as it was not possible for the Government to deal with the question of Parliamentary reform in the spirit that they wished, therefore it was their determination to postpone the consideration of the subject until a more favourable opportunity. INCREASE OF PAY IN THE ARMY. Mr. PUG/I asked the Secretary for War from what ime the increase in the pay of the army was intended to ,ake effect ? Sir J. PAKINGTON replied from the commencement of the financial year. IiETER REGULATION OF PLACES OF AMUSEILENT. Lord E. BRUCE asked the Secretary of State for the 1191110 Department when the measure promised early lad session by his predecessor in office for the better regulation of theatres and other places of public entertainment in the metropolis would be laid before this house. Mr. HARDY said he was not aware that such a bill had been prepared, as he had not seen it. He certainly was not . prepared to introduce such a measure. THE VOLUNTEERS. Mr. W. E. FORSTER asked the Secretary of War whether, in case of volunteers "acting for suppressing and quelling riots," as contemplated by paragraphs 8 and 9of the Instructions lately issued by the War Department, their commanding officers had any legal power or con trol over them. Whether, by paragraph 7 it was contemplated that the rifles or guns, the property of her Majesty's Government, issued t o volunteer corps, , should be used in "quelling civil di s t ur b ances, " and if so under what regulations. And, whether article 98 of the Volunteer Regulations of 1863, by which " Volunteer corps are forbidden to ass...rattle ruder arms fur any purr. ,ses un connected with military drill, parade, or rifle prhetice, ex cept with the approval of the Secretaryol State," had been abrogated. Sir J. PAKINGTON said the volunteer officers would have no legit powers of volunteers under too circumstances mentioned, as they acted when so called out merely as special constables. With respect to the reeoutt part of the question they would act under no regulations, and with respect to the 98th regulation it bad not been abrogated. THE PURCHASE SYSTEM. Mr. HAYTER asked the Secretary of State for W . .ir whether his attention had been called to the " Gaz.nto of the 11th instant, in which a captain of the 97th Restment stated to have retired from the service by the sole ot his commission, the said officer having actually dieJ, accord ing to the obituary in the Times newspaper on the Ist of this month ; and should such notice have escaped the attention of the Secretary at War, if he would take such steps to prevent in future an arrangement pre-- judicial to the interests of non -purchasing officers, and tending to destroy confidence in the medical certificates required from officers upon their retirement from the ser vice by sale of their cotnmissiolis. Sir J. PAKINGTON said the preparations for the sale of this commission commenced on the 24th of April, although the Gazette did not contain the announcement until the 11th, the officer having died on the Ist of June. For the future it would be directed that a medical certifi cate should accompany the application to sell. (Hear, hear.) REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE-THE BOUNDARY COMMISSIONS. In reply to Mr. POWELL, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the commissioners would be empowered to do every thing except one, and that was to diminish the influence and proportions of those places they woull have to consider, because such a diminution would savour of disfranchisement. Lord Eversley had accepted the post of the head of the Bouniery Commission, and would re present it in the other house. He thought it was expe dient that the commission should also be repre sented in that house, and therefore he had offered the post to an hon. member opposite. Ho had hoped to have been enabled to communicate the names of all those who would compose the commission, but if the motion of the hon. member for Wiek was carried, it would be considered conclusive as to the merits of the scheme, and therefore further proceeding with it would be useless. If the proposal of the hon. member for Wick, he repeated, received the sanction of the house, we, continued the right hon. gentleman, should have to consider our po sition generally with respect to the bill altogether. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The House then went into committee on the bill. On clause 10 being proposed, Mr. LAING moved to insert after the word "the" the following words--cities and boroughs named in the third schedule in the Act, viz., Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, and Liverpool, Manchester, and Sheffield shall return three members to Parliament instead of two, and each of the boroughs named in the fourth schedule, viz., Birkenhead, Merthyr Tydvil, Salford, Swansea, shall return two members to Parliament instead of one. The honourable gentleman then proceeded at some length to urge the adoption of his proposal, which he contended was nothing but what was urgently required in justice to the extensive and important places he had named. Ho was of opinion that the adoption of his proposal would strengthen, not destroy the bill, and that he hoped the house would not be deterred from assenting to his motion by the tremendous conse quences shadowed forth by the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. BAINES and Mr. BRIGHT snpported the proposal. Mr. T. HUGHES moved an addition to Mr. Laing's amendment to clause 10, viz., that after "members instead of two," insert `•and in each such city or borough, each elector shall be entitled to three several votes, and shall be at liberty either to give all his votes to any one candidate, or to distribute them among any two or more candidates in such proportions as he may think fit." A sharp discussion ensued with respect to the proposi tion of Mr. Hughes, the chairman the committee, stating that the proposal of the hon. member for Lambeth was not an amendment but an addition to the amendment, and therefore it could not, with due respect for order, to moved until the first amendment had been disposed of.

Anchored.—Roseau, from St. Vincent, for Lisbon. Passed. Merry Monarch, of Sunderland, from the north, for the west. LORD'S CRICKET GROUND.—The committee of management have just erected a very handsome and com modious "grand stand" in a most commanding situation, which, whilst it meets a long-required want, is at the same time a decided ornament to the ground. The new struc ture has been raised according to the design of Mr. Allow, and is remarkable for the admirable manner in which it fulfils the purposes desired. It is composed principally of iron, by which a light ness and elegance is imparted to it, colouring also giving it a very cheerful appearance. The principal compartment of course is appropriated to the members of M. C. C., the seats on either sides being parted off in 12 blocks, each containing comfortable and numbered accommodation for 30 persons. Above this is placed an other tier of seats, and below it a long range of refresh ment counters easily accessible from all parts of the build ing. Ono of the most important arrangements, however, is the elegant suite of retiring rooms provided for ladies, which doubtless will render the grounds a very attractive place for those without whose presence all real enjoyment is wanting. Hitherto a lady visiting "Lord's" has had to endure all sorts of weather without the slightest protec- tion ; but matters are changed, and the fair sex can now witness the good and true English game of cricket without the slightest fear of the rain destroying their piquint head dress which it would be an error to call a bonnet. The committee have worked zealously for the comfort of the ladies, and none more so than Mr. Fitgerald and Mr. Allem, the architect. DIFFERENT HABITS.—In letters from Paris de scribing the French Exhibition we find such statements as these :—" Neatness, order, decency are everywhere; and if there is anything else in Paris it does not make its appear ance in public. People come out by the hundred thousands —all the liquor shops of Paris are open ; there is no Maine law; the supply of liquors is unlimited, and not one person is seen drunk." In Boston we have a Maine law, and every day policemen aro seen carrying drunken men and, un happily, oven drunken women through the streets. That is the difference between Boston and Paris. Is it owing to the climate ?—Boston Advertiser. MASKS AND FACES.—Mr. Ernst Schulz gave his extraordinary entertainment at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, on Saturday afternoon, to a brilliant and ocowded audience. As on former occasions, the performance was divided into four parts—namely, Humorous Sketches of the Varieties of Mankind; the Physiology of the Beard, or Lights and Shadows of Character in Human Faces; My Portrait Album, or a Collection of Twelve Life Likenesses; and, fourthly, Types of Haws and Nationality. We have already noticed in detail the merits of this which may be said to be the best entertainment of the kind in the metro polis (as shown by the criticisms written upon it), and we desire merely to draw attention to the fact that these studies of character and physiognomy are still given every evening except Saturday, and on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. THE DUKE OF LI A MILTON'SFRIENDS. — Mr.:HOOry Padwick, who it appears occupies the somewhat ambigu ous position of " Commissioner to his Grace the Duke of Hamilton, writes to the Times to contradict a rumour to which we incidentally referred last week. It seems that "neither Mr Naylor nor any other poison has purchased Hamilton House, nor has his grace sustained a loss on the turf to render a sale of any portion of his property neees _ sary." This statement must be very reassuring to the Duke of Hamilton's friends, and is exceedingly satisfactory when taken in connection with another announcement in the Tunes. In the advertising sheet of the leading journal a firm of auctioneers direct attention to "Hamilton House, Arlington-street, Piccadilly. The ducal freehold mansion, magnificent in its proportions and general arrangements, the reception rooms overlooking the Green Park and Buckingham Palace, cont•iilliug every accommodation that wealth can purchase or luxury desire ;" and proceed to state that "they have been favoured with instructions from the noble owner to sell at the New Auction Mart, Tokenhouse yard, Lothbury, E.C., on Tuesday, July 23, at two o'clock precisely (unless an acceptable offer be made by private contract.), the princely mansion known as Hamilton House." it is stated i n th e same a dvertisement that "the mansion can be viewed by special order fr-m n „ enz : And we Pad wick, Esq., 2, Hill-st ree t, B er keloY-square, w are further informed that "the purerr con n ten of this may have have the option of purchasing the magnific ent princely mansion with tile' xe c 'P til of certain objets , d'art which will be rcinovcd."—. 4 4 o 'a" "''' • lock's to Joseph DaW5Oll'S a . r Now all his horses (twenty-nine in L n o u r i d ub G er la ) s f g r o em w has removed
