NoNEY MARKET AND ' ( 3OMMERCIAL LbiTELLIGBNCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Very little activity is reported in the general dis count market, and the lowest rate is certainly not higher than 2 per cent., some of the German houses being anxious to do business at that quotation. The sum of £33,000 was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The Bavaria has arrived from New York with specie to the amount of about £ll,OOO. The governor and committee of the Hudson's 'lay Company intend to recommend a dividend at the rate of 10s. per share, payable on the 10th of July n ex t, in addition to the B,►. paid in January last. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures, 3 1 33, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds, 26 27. The liquidators of the Bank of Turkey wish to correct an error in their report issued last week. The total disbursements were stated at £20,068 s s. 3d. instead of £20,781 18s. 7d., which leaves £6,578 17s. 6d. to their credit, instead of £5,865 4s. 2d. as stated. At the meeting held to-day of the St. John Del Itey Mining Company the report of the directors Was presented, which showed that the net profit on the working of the mines from 23d March, 1866, to 23d March, 1867, had been £109,407 15s. Bd., Which, with interest and balance from the previous year, made a total profit of £112,681 17 s• Bd. From this amount a dividend had been paid of £4 per share, 10 per cent. added to the reserve fund, and income tax and general expenses paid during the year, amounting together to the sum of £51,867, leaving an available profit of £60,814, and the directors had now the satisfac tion of proposing an increased dividend at the rate of £4 104. Per share, and to carry the usual 10 per cent. to the reserve fund, carrying forward £6,364 to the next account. Two O'CLOCK.

The arrival of English wheat, both coastwise and by rail, have only been moderate, but in fair average condi tion. Sales progressed slowly, millers being only dis posed to operate to satisfy their immediate requirements ; nevertheless, Monday's values were fully maintained. The supply of foreign wheat was tolerably extensive, and there was a moderate demand, on former terms. Barley was in fair request, on full previous terms for all qualities. The show of foreign barley was moderately good. The malt trade continues very quiet, and the quotation was without alteration. The supply of oats was extensive, and, with a fair de mand, prices were quite as dear as on Monday last. . _ The show of beans was limited, and the quotations wore consequently fully uphold. Peas met a fair inquiry on rather higher terms ; the sup ply was small. The flour trade was steady, oil former terms. In seeds and cakes there was very little passing, and we have no change to notice in the quotations. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English and Scotch MO 770 240 _ . .

HAJIIIICK, BART.—Sir Stephen Love Hanuniek, Baronet, once one of the most celebrated surgeons of his day, died at the Crescent, Ply mouth, on Saturday, at the advanced aged of 91 years. In the early part of the present century Sir Stephen Ham mick was the leading medical celebrity of Plymouth. Ile removed to the metropolis, and for many years ran a suc cessful career, returning, as age crept over him, to Ply mouth, where he has peacefully ended his days. A a naval surgeon he was interdicted from private practice, but at an early age he commenced holding gratuitous levees, at which, from his popular manners and reputed skill,he drew around him crowds of patients from all ranks of life. Finding at length, after having been about 30 years a lecturer on sur gery and anatomy at the Royal Naval Hospital, the field of his exertions to be somewhat circumscribed, in 1829 he retired from the public service. From Plymouth he re moved to London, where in one of the then most fashion able localities, Cavendish-square, he for a long series of years pursued an extensive practice. In 1831 he was made a baronet, and in 1843 was appointed an hon. fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. Ho was also for many years a member of the senate and an examiner in surgery at the London University. Several of his pupils afterwards be came very prominent members of their profession. The deceased's eldest son, the Rev. St. Vincent L. Hammick, vicar of Milton Abbot, succeeds to the baronetcy. ACCIDENT TO THE COUNTESS OF FIFE.—We regret to have to record that an accident of a somewhat serious character happened to Lady Fife on Monday. Her lady ship, who had been staying for the last few days with the Countess of Jersey at Osterley Park, was stepping from a cab at the Southall station, when she missed her footing, and falling fractured her left leg near the ankle. Lady Fife was conveyed home to the family mansion in Cavendish square, when Mr. Henry Thompson was in immediate attendance, and set the fractured limb. EXTENSIVE COLLIERY STRIKE AT SUNDERLAND. —On Monday a strike took place at Monkwearmouth Col liery, where over 1,000 men and boys are employed. In working the Hutton seam a good deal of splint (i.e., bad coal) has been met with. The men complain that greater rigour has been exercised in forfeiting the tubs which con tain a proportion of "splint" than formerly, when they not only lose the coal worked, but are also fined. Last week the number of tubs forfeited was so large that the men de termined to cease work, and on Monday morning, though the first "shift" mustered at the bank when called, they refused to descend ; the second, or " back shift," followed their example, and the shaft called the deep Pit was laid idle—the whole of the hewers, putters, trappers, waggon way and bauksmen being laid off. THE EASTERN FISHERIES.—SOLDO of the Great Yarmouth boats engaged in the mackerel fishery have brought in from 300 to 1,200 fish each during the last few days. The average price has been 235. per 120. The Lowes toft boats have made very fair catches of mackerel during the week ; the price has been about 30s. per 132. Some quantity of mackerel has been landed at Lowestoft from Norway. NEW POSTAL ARRANGEMENT.—A General Post Office notice states that all letters, book packets, and patterns of merchandise addressed to New South Wales, which are not directed to be sent by any particular route, will be sent by the first mail despatched, whether via Suez or via Panama. Newspapers for New South Wales, how ever, will not be sent via Panama unless prepaid at the higher rate of twopence per four ounces. AQUATIC ENTERPRISE. —A crew of five men, un der the direction of Mr. Harding, froka New Brunswick, and bringing with them two handsome four-oar e d row i ng galleys, arrived at Southampton on Thursday evening ' in the steamer Atlantic, from New York, with the intention of contesting in the forthcoming international regatta at Paris. Tho boats are named respectively New Brunswick No. 1 and No. 2, the latter being new and as yet untried, 34ft. long, with a flat bottom; the former, which is a nar rower boat, 36ft. long, and has scarcely any keel, has raced on several occasions, and in most cases comes off the win ner. This enterprising party travelled by steamship from Now Brunswick to Portland, and thence to New York, a distance of between GOO and 700 miles, before they com menced the Atlantic voyage. THE TEETH AND BREATIL—fIow often do ws find the hum .n face divine dlail4nrei by neglecting the chiefe,t of its ornaments, and the breath made disagreeable to companions by non-attentio t to the Teeth! Though perfect it their st:th,ture and composition, to keep them in a pure and healthy' state requires some little trouble ; and if those who are blessed with well-formed teeth knew how soon decay steals into the mouth, making unsightly what otherwise are delightful to admire, and designating unhealthiness by the impurity of the breath, they would spare no expense chase away these fatal blemishes. But although most ladles are careful, and (yen particular in these delicate matters, yet few are sufficiently aware of the imperative necessity of avoiding all noxious or miaeral substances of an acrid na ture, and of which the greater part of the cheap tooth powders and pastes of the present day are composed. It is highly satisfactory to point out Messre. Rowlands' Odonto, or Pearl Dentifrice, as a preparJtion free from all injurious elements, and eminently calculated to embellish and preserve the dental structure, to impart a grateful fragrance to the breath. and to embellish and perpetuate the graces of the mouth.

LAW IN TELLIGENCE —This DW. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, (Sittings at Nisi Prius before Lord Chief Justice Bovill and a Special Jury.) GIBSON V. THE LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY COMPANY. In this case the plaintiff sought to recover com pensation for the loss of a roulette table, and the defendants denied their liability, or that there had been any contract between them and the plaintiff for the safe delivery of the property in question. From the opening statement of counsel it ap peared that the plaintiff, whose business is that of a roulette-table keeper, had arrived at Brighton from Jersey on the 4th of August, and on the Gth came by the company's train to London. lle had the roulette-table packed up, and he alleged that he explained to one of the clerks of the company the nature of the property, and received d ticket from him, with an assurance that on its presentation at the London terminus he would receive the property. It appeared, however, that it was lost in transitu, and the company denied the allegations of the plain tiff as to what occurred between him and the com pany's servants at the Brighton station. They pleaded that the property - was not of a description for which they were liable as general carriers, in the absence of a contract for its safe delivery. The learned counsel explained that there were anomalies in the law as related to the liability of railway companies for the safe delivery of certain descriptions of goods:which were very much in their favour. Ile illustrated this statement by showing a company were not liable in the case of a lady's silk dress unless it were made for a veil with a string, or unless it were made by machine. The plaintiff was examined, and swore positively as to what he alleged took place between him and the clerk at the station. The latter was called and denied this. The jury found a verdict for the defendants. POLICE INTELLIGEME.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN AWKWARD LARK.—William Stone, a young man, was charged, before Mr. Knox, with stealing a plated tankard, of the value of 165., the property of Mr. Thomas Laybourne, of the Red Lion Tavern, Windmill-street, Haymarket. Henry Thomas, barman to Mr. Laybourne, said that about twelve o'clock last night the prisoner and some other young men came in and called for a pot of ale, with which they were served. In con sequence of what he was told by the potman he followed the prisoner out of the house and detained him, and sent for a constable, but before the con stable arrived the prisoner threw the tankard, which he took from his pocket, on the ground. Thomas Smith, potman to Mr. Laybourne, proved seeing the prisoner put the tankard into his coat-tail pocket and leave the house. He went with the last witness after the prisoner, and asked him what lie had got in his pocket. Ile replied "Nothing," but afterwards took the tankard out of his pocket and threw it down, saying he was only having a lark. In answer to Mr. Knox the witness said the prisoner was drunk. • The barman said that another tankard was missed at the same time. John Canes, 79 C, said the prisoner was given into his custody for stealing the tankard. The prisoner was sober, and said he did it for alark, and that he had been treating some policemen outside the house, and placed the tankard under his coat. Mr. Knox asked the constable whether there were any police constables outside of the house ? The prisoner answered the question by stating that they had left before the other constable came up. He only took the tankard out of a lark. Mr. Knox said the prisoner would be remanded. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. STOCKBRIDGE RACES—Tms DAY; (or ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) CROOME STAKES.

The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. SUNDAY LECTURES BILL. Lord AMBERLEY moved the second reading of this bill, the obj..et of which was to permit under certaiu re gulations the delivering of scientific lectures, and to repeal tee restriction of the act of Ge orge HI . which prohibited. money being taken at the doors of places of public enter tainment on Sundays. It was not, as had been said, an act for the desecrati on of the Sabbath, but one trlztt would tend to rendei a certain portion of it more in accordance with the feelins of a great mass of the peoplit. Mr. KINNAIRI) objected to the bill. lie said if the house sanctioned the tell he did not see how they were to prevent theatrical performances. He had visited St. Martin's Hall once during the delivery of certain lectures there, and anything more objectionable he had not seen. There were paid singers and other matters which he con considered not desirable to sanction by act of Parliament. Mr. BERESFORD-tiOPE said he should vote against the second reading of the bill. There were three ways at present of observing the Sabbath, the English, Scotch, and French style, but he need hardly say he preferred th e former, and he therefore could not give his assent to a measure which would tend to bring about a state of mat ters no person could desire. He did not think it would be well at once to reject the bill, but, as the time had come when it was desirable that the matter of public entertain ments should be inquited into, he intended in the event of the bill being read a second time that it be referred to a select committee. Mr. MILL supported the bill, contending that it was a measure which would improve the condition of a great many of her Majesty's subjects. Mr. HENLEY strenuously opposed the bill. Hs said it was the commencement of an arrangement which doubtless would lead to the throwing open of all places of amusement on Sundays. Mr. BRIGHT thought the wisest course to adopt was to read the bill a second time, and then refer it a select com mittee to ascertain whether certain relaxations in the law could not, with advantage, be made. He did not wish the Sabbath to be desecrated, but at the same time he did not want to see a state of things brought about which would made matters more objectionable than was at present the case.. Mr. C. iffllo}e`rorOneßn. Birminghamiu‘p o E e S sni C it b lont members o s a to i h d f Sir W. HEATFICOTE opposed the bill. that i t g. o st that aoytraiwgahrhteooheuledus house w ho e i uc t yos h uel we t d h r ee e rselpe h ira in s I ma t a o e t t j a i u n l r d d their enjoyments over every day in the week, whilst a large mass of the population were r e strict e d to the one day. He was not one of those who thought the Sabbath could best be passel by the poor man between Church and his home, or possibly the public house. Mr. HARDY said it was a very difficult matter to de cide, if they adopted this bill. They all knew the lectu res given by the late Albert Smith. No person could say they were immoral, and if the bill passed, how could the y pre vent the delivery of such an entertainment on Sunday. He did not know where they would stop if they adopted the bill, one of the objects of which was to abolish a very good provision, which whilst it prevented money being taken at the door of a building to hear a highly instructive and va luable lecture most successfully prevented the giving other entertainments, which were marked by immorality and grossness on Sunday. Sir G. GREY suggested that the bill should be with drawn, and that next, session a select committee be ap pointed to inquire into the whole subject. • Mr. MILAREN disapproved of the bill, and therefore he should give his vote against it. Mr. LOCKE said a great deal had boon said about thea trical entertainments taking place if this bill passed, but that was utterly impossible, because a special theatrical licence must be had either from the Lord Chamberlain or the magistrates. To say that if the bill passed it would be open to abuse was no argument against it, as everything was open to that, and he hoped the house would lot the measure go to a select committee. There were a large class who, if they ha l their way, would compel everybody to go to church three times on Sunday, but no thought the greater class those who desired innocent recreation on Suuday, should in the bill now before the house have their wishes in some degree consulted. Mr. T. CHAMBERS opposed the bill, and said there never was a grosser p3rversiou of language than was set down in the preamble of the bill, which went to say that the act proposed to remedy an infringement on religious liberty. He thought it would be a great misfortune if the house consented to the bill, because it would break down one of the simplest, but at the same time one of the most efficient safeguards for a due observance of the Sabbath. The motion for the second reading of the bill was then negatived without a division. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS (IRELAND) BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill being read, Mr. BAGWELL objected to the bill, as being totally unnecessary. Mr. VANCE objected to the bill, because he thought it gave a premium to parents to send their children beg ging, and also as it would cause a great increase in monas tic schools in Dublin. He moved that the house go into committee that day six months. Lord C. HAMILTON said the bill was quite unneces sary, and therefore he opposed it. The O'CONNOR DON in reply said all he intended by proceeding with the bill was to extend the Industrial Schools Act, which worked so well in En g land, to Ireland, and the opposition of the noble lord to the bill going into oiniuittee without his giving the usual notice, was irregular. _ The house divided, w hen there appeared — For going iuto co mmittee l9B Against it 144 Majoiity The house then went into committee. The Charitita Bill was withdrawn. The committee on the Church Rates Abolition Bill was postponed until Tuesday next. The Mixed Marriages Bill was postponed until the 2Gth. The Church Rates Regulation Bill was postponed until the 7th of July. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house adjourned.

WESTMINSTER. 64 THE WEDDING DAY."—Josepli Clarke, a young good humoured looking fellow, described as a general dealer, was charged with being drunk and assaulting the police. John Pollard, 71 B, said that at three o'clock yesterday afternoon he found the defendant in Rochester-row, Westminster, drunk and using very bad language. He refused to go away, and when taken into custody became very violent. Defendant—l hope you'll pass this over,. your worship, for a particular reason. Mr. Selfe—Why should I pass it over. Defendant—l got married yesterday, and of course had a little to drink. I have not done any harm. Police-constable, 215 B, stepped forward and complained that he had kicked him as well as hay ing torn his coat. Mr. Selfe (to defendant)—What do you say to that ? Defendant—Well, 1 might have been a little violent, but I'll get hia coat mended for him. Of course, when a man gets married he takes a little more than he ought. Mr. Selfe —lt's no reason he should bite and kick the police. Defendant—l hope you'll look over it. A man don't get married once a week. It's a thing tha t don't occur every day. Mr. Selfe—lt ought not if it is to be attended with such consequences. You are not commencing the duties of the married state very nicely by get ting into a beastly state of drunkenness. I have a good mind to send you for half your honeymoon to prison. _ Defendant—Don't do that, please. Think of my wife. Mr. Selfe—You should have thought of her your self. I must punish you. Pay 205., or 14 days. THAMES. CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—James Davis was brought before Mr. Paget charged with cruelty to a horse, by working it in an unfit condition. Richard Sinclair, an officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said he found the horse in the station-house yard, yoked to a milk cart in High-street, Bow, yesterday after noon. The horse was very lame, appeared to be starved, and was quite unfitted for work. The prisoner, a dealer in milk, said he bought the horse three months ago, and was taken in with it. He was a Welchman, and did not understand the language. Mr. Paget—Why, you speak the English lan guage as well as I do. I have looked at the horse, and it is quite unfitted for work. The Prisoner—l only worked it an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. It is my first offence, and it will be the last. Mr. Paget expected that Sinclair, the officer, would see the horse destroyed. It was quite out of the question to work the animal again. He would allow the prisoner to go at large on his own recog nisance for a week. He would determine next week what punishment he would inflict. DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SELF-DESTRUCTION. —Harriett Goatley, a married woman, whose hus band was stated to be a seaman, and dwelling at Shields, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with attempting to commit suicide. William Northey, a Loudon Dock constable, stated that at an early hour on Sunday morning last the prisoner got over the swivel bridge, at Fox's lane, tind cast herself into the dock, and she would have been drowned if a man had not jumped from the quay into the water after her. She was with difficulty saved. She said she would do it again when she obtained her liberty, and go toLon bridge-bridge and plunge into the Thames. She was conveyed to the workhouse, and it was ascer tained that she had taken oxalic acid, which was dislodged from her stomach. The unfortunate woman, who appeared to be very ill, uttered a few exclamations, and Mr. Paget re manded her for a week. SHAREHOLDERS IN GAS COMPANIES. —A Par liamentary return shows that very nearly half tho share holders in the metropolitan gas companies aro ladies, clergymen, or trustees. The total number of the share holders is shown to bo 8,075; 2,217 are ladies, 345 are clergymen, and 1,409 bold on trust or joint accounts. These ladies and gentlemen received last year generally 10 per cent. dividends on the stock held by them in theso companies. Share HER MAJESrY's THEATRE. Last evening was a crowning triumph for Mdlle. Christine Nilsson. She appeared again as Margue rite, and on the occasion she proved her right to rank amongst the greatest artistes the lyric drama has yet produced. The comparison of the new singer with other great vocalists of course is ine vitable, but that can be fearlessly encountered with out in the slightest degree diminishing the unmis takable success Mdlle. Nilsion has achieved. She seems to be the perfect embodiment of the Gretscheu of Goethe—her slight and fragile figure, her pale golden tresses are quite in keeping with the creation, and an artless, natural demeanour all give an additional charm to the character with which, from henceforth, she will be eminently inseparably connected. Favoured by nature with a voice of rare and uncommon beauty, the accomplished lady uses it with a skill and taste that is perfectly charm ing. She avoids altogether that disagreeable vibrato which is so greatly used by many who claim to rank amongst our greatest singers. Mdlle. Nilszon's notes are clear, full, and exqui sitely in tune, whilst her execution is as easy and delightful as the most ardent lover of music could desire. " That her range is extensive is cer tain, for during the opera her voice at one time touched the lower B flat, and at another reached D in alt, with remarkable ease. The few bars allotted to Marguerite in the second act were sung most charmingly, but the great triumph, of course, was in the succeeding act, in which we have the quaint old ballad " C'era un re, un re di Thule," and the brilliant aira known as the jewel song, both of which were perfect and absolute triumphs, the latter being most enthusiastically encored. The duct at the close of the act was given with such exquisite expression and fervour that it produced positively a great excitement amongst the aristocratic, and generally somewhat cool and quiet audience, and Mdlle. Nilsson had to be led forward twice by Gardoni before silence could be obtained. In the cathedral scene her horror at the mockery of Mephistopheles was intense, and her vocalisation was unsurpassable and unparalleled. Marguerite's dying. appeal for heavenly pardon, " 0 del ciel angeli im mortal," was given with a refined purity and intense aspiration, that formed a worthy climax to a performance that throughout was characterised by earnestness of intention and thoroughly poetical perception of the purest and most touching aspect of the character, added to those sympathetic powers of vocal expression and finished execution which we have already stated are possessed by Mdlle. Nilsson. Gardoni sang the music of Faust with great taste, but Pandolfini, as; Mephistopheles, was per haps a trifle too comic in his idea of the character. Santley's Valentine is so well known* and appre ciated that reference to it is perfectly needless. Madame Trebelli Bettini sang the music allotted to Siebel charmingly, and in the minor parts Marta and Wagner were well supported by Mdlles. Bauermeister and Bossi. Every seat' in the immense theatre was occupiod at the commencement of the opera. WIMBLEDON PRIZE MEETING.

Lothario galloped a couple of miles fast this morning,- and Camball took Restitution, Suffolk, and North Marston orer a mile. Jasper led Dales man and Hippia a mile and a half. Barrington and Leases went a mile and three-quarters, and Leap Year and Archimedes followed The Peer a mile and a half. Tourmalin did over a couple of miles steadily, Marmite and Emigrant galloping a similar distance. Sealskin was leading Roquefort, D'Estournel, Ravioli, and Moleskin a mile and a half. Guy. of Warwick had a very long spin by himself. Rama, Blinkhoolie, and Red Shoes did nice steady work together. Hermit was cantering, and The Rake walking. MIDDLEHAM. Lady Vane, as usual, cantered twice with Tyne dale, Mandrake, and Harrogate, and then the four went a gallop of a mile and three quarters. Fer vacques passed through a similar amount of work. The whole of the above, with the exception of Harrogate, look well and move freely. Fortunio is in preparation for the Goodwood Stakes, and Romping Girl is being got ready for her next week's engagements. LAMBOIJRNE. Mirella resumed strong work this morning, and the mare goes uncommonly well. Marksman is still an absentee. RICHMOND. Several of our horses have gone to Beverley, accompanied by their trainers, therefore little was done this morning. Hawkswell galloped a mile and three-quarters by himself, at a slow pace ; and Newland, Violet, and Blairgowrie, the latter lead ing, went a similar distance at half speed. Bumble kite took Geant des Batailles a nice gallop. MALTON. Wcstwick led War a couple of miles at three parts speed ; and the latter, who is now in request for the Northumberland Plate, never looked or went better. ILSLEY. Lord Lyon is very fit for his Stockbridge engage ments, and ought to win one of them. Achieve ment merely trotted and cantered to-day. Dalby, after cantering, merely galloped a mile and a quar ter, but there was no pace. A lot of fresh horses have arrived at Dover's. Some of them belong to the Marquis of Exeter. FINDON. Pakrita galloped a mile and three quarters very fast, and goes beautifully. She is, in fact, the best mover here. Gilead did little beyond trotting and cantering. The majority of the others are walk ing. The ground is hard. RACING FIXTI JTJ: RES FOR 1867.
