MONEY DIARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A small amount of business is going on in the discount market, but it developer no new feature worthy of record. Gold to the amount of £lB,OOO was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The Omar Pasha has arrived from Melbourne with gold to the amount of £159,976. A meeting had been announced for the 26th inst. of the shareholders of the London and Brighton Railway. Mr. S. Laing, the chairman, has issued a circular respecting the financial affairs and the amalgamation with the South-Eastern company. A circular has been issued by the Metropolitan Railway, containing a plan by which money may be raised on the mortgage of the property upon suoh terms as will afford to the shareholders in the first instance a perfectly safe and valuable investment. This plan will be submitted to the next meeting of the shareholders, that bonds having ten years to run, and bearing 5 per cent. interest, should be issued on the security of the freehold property of the com pany. These bonds are to be redeemable at 10 prem. by annual drawings, commencing five years after issue, and the whole to be paid off within the 10 years. The bonds will be offered in the first instance pro rata to the share holders. They will be exclusively secured on the property of the company. The rents re ceived and sales expected will alone: form: the; fund out of which the interest will be paid and the prin cipal liquidated. The railway and its earnings will be unaffected by the proposed arrangement ; it will be, in fact, a loan obtained upon the surplus pro perty of the company, and as such will neither add to the capital nor abstract from the revenue of the Metropolitan Railway. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been very little animation. In sugar the dealings have been prin cipally for exportation, and prices have shown no material change. Coffee has been inactive conse quent upon large arrivals, and the quantity en route for this country being considerable. Rice has been in moderate request, chiefly for exportation, while in tallow the operations have only been on a restricted scale at about former quotations. Two o'CLoor. Business in all the Stock Exchange markets is, if Possible, more inactive than it has been within the last few days, and most of the quotations are merely nominal. Consols are a shade lower at 944 4 for money and 944 for the account. The New Threes are 934 1 ; Reduced Annuities, 934 4 ; Exchequer Bills, 245. for June ; India 5 per Cent., 1111 4 1 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 994. The fluctuations in the Foreign department are not important.

A very limited amount of business has been tran !acted in the Railway Share Market, and in many instances prices are a shade flatter. North Western, Midland, and South Eastern have each declined 4, and North Eastern and Berwick. 1; while Great Western have improved 4. In the Foreign and Colonial lines there has been little variation. Dutch Rhenish are dealt in at 23 / ; Great Luxemburg at 104 ; East Indian at 108 4 4 ; Great Indian and P eninsula at 1074 4 ; and Madras 5 per cents. at 1004. Bank shares continue in very moderato request. Alliance have declined to 134 ; Chartered Mercan tile of India, London and China, to 26 ; London and Westminster to 103 104 ; and Consolidated Bank to 44. In American Securities Erie shares have advanced f, to 46/ 47i, and Illinois f, to 76i 77 ; but United States 5-20 Bonds have declined i, to 72i f. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are steady at 29} 30i ; and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds have advanced f, to 24 243. Miscellaneous and Finance Shares are generally a shade flatter.

THE DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SELF-MURDER.--Martin Reynolds, a bootmaker, living in Little Windmill-street, charged with attempting to take his life by stabbing him self, was again brought before Mr. 'Tyrwhitt. The prisoner was seen by a fellow-lodger stabbing him self in the stomach, but was seized by him and proventod doing further mischief to himself, and taken to the hospital. Mr. Oswain Vince, house-surgeon of the Middlesex Hospital, attended to-day, and said the prisoner was admitted to the hospital on the Bth of July, having stabbed himself in the stomach, and ho remained there till last Wednesday. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the witness whether he noticed anything particular in the prisoner's conduct. Mr. Vince said he appeared rather strange. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a very awkward thing for a magistrate to discharge such a man without any friends to look after him, the more especially as he ,believed he had already been in an asylum. The prisoner said he had never been in an asylum. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a clear case of deliberate at tempt to commit suicide. The prisoner said he had no friends. Ho was a native of Ireland. Mr. Tyrwhitt said if he discharged the prisoner and he destroyed himself it would be laid at his door. He would again remand the prisoner, and he hoped if publicity Was given to the matter that some of his friends would come forward and take care of him. WESTMINSTER. THE ►SULTAN'S VISIT TO THE ►SOUTH KIINSINGTOX Musrm.—Edward Eardon, a servant at 9, Chester -place, Hyde-park-square, was charged with being drunk and assaulting the police. George Edmonds, 332 13, said that he was on duty at the South Kensington Museum last evening at twelve o'clock, when the defendant said he would go in and forced his way forward. Defendant was drunk and struck him in the breast. Ho was attacked by three or four more, who said they would go in. Mr. Arnold—Was that at the time the Sultan was there? Constable—Yes, your worship, Tho defendant was drunk. Mr. Arnold—What did he say he wanted to go in for? Constable—Nothing that I heard. Defendant—My ladies went to the Horticultural Gar dens last night. The carriage was ordered at a quarter to 12, and I went. The police were driving the servants back, and an altercation occurred with one that was trying to get to his people. I came off the box of my carriage and got by the side of another, who was in livery. Wo wore all trying to get to our people, but the police would not let us. Mr. Arnold—" Our people" used to bo called by the higher title of masters and mistresses, but I suppose that has gone out of fashion. Defendant—Well, sir, they were trying to got at their masters and mistresses, and the man in livery would go forward, and they caught him by the collar and brought him back to my side, and in the struggle my hat was knocked off, and I stooped to pick it up, when I was dragged away by the police and charged with assaulting them. Mr. Arnold—You are also charged with being drunk. Defendant—l say that I was not drunk. Police-constable Butcher, 246 B, was called, and said that he removed the defendant two or three times, and then saw Edmonds down on the ground and defendant on the top of him. Defendant turned round and struck witness two or three times. Mr. Arnold—Was the defendant drunk ? Witness—Ho had been drinking, but ho was very much excited. Ho said ho had as much right there as any one else. He struck me two or threo times on tho mouth. Defendant pointed out that the witness had no marks ; and solicited a remand to enable him to procure witnesses. Mr. Arnold consented to a remand upon his giving ono surety in X 5. TIIAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON Two POLICE-CONSTABLES. Wm. Gray, a young man, was brought before Mr. Paget .charged with violently assaulting Cox, a sergeant, and Cotter, a constable, of the K division. Yesterday afternoon, at half -past 4, the prisoner was in High-street, Shadwell, drunk, and quarrelling with his brother, whom ho attacked and beat in a very dastardly manner. Cox interfered and made him desist. The pri soner's brother asked the officer to take him into custody. Cox said he had better not do that, and advised him to take out a summons against him. At the same time he advised the prisoner to go home. Cotter gave similar ad vice. The prisoner immediately struck Cotter and knocked him down. Before Cox could interfere he jumped on Cot ter, and, uttering an oath, said ho would kill him. Cox took the prisoner off the constable, and was struck on the face and on the mouth. The two officers seized the pri soner, who acted like a maniac, and kicked and struck at both, and made an attempt to injure Cox in a vital part. He fortunately did not succeed, but he seriously hurt both policemen. He was overpowered, and Cox directed Cotter to draw his trunchion and knock him down if he made say further resistance. This threat had tho desired effect, and the prisoner submitted. The faces of the sergeant and constable were marked, and tit y lost a good deal of blood. The prisoner said he was a hemp-dresser. He had a holiday yesterday, and went to see the departure of tho Belgians. He became intoxicated, and did not know what he was about. Mr. Paget said it was a pity a working man could not take a holiday without drinking to excess and becoming intoxicated. He never looked over an offence of this kind. The police had very dangerous and difficult duties to per form, and he was determined to protect them. In this case the police acted with great forbearance, and gave the pri soner every opportunity of going away. The prisoner had acted with a savage brutality, which was quite shocking, and attempted to ruin the elder complainant Cox. The prisoner had also accompanied his brutality with expres sions of a beastly nature. Ho sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour for each assault, the sentences to be consecutive, which would make four months' imprisonment and hard labour in all.

THE SUN, LON Appearance of the Houses Last Evening. Last evening there was revived in the House, of Peers one of those spectacles which have been very infrequent, and indeed have scarcely occurred at all in the last two or three years. The second reading of the Reform Bill produced in the upper chamber a great contrast to its normal condition, and a still greater contrast to the House of Commons, as it appears on a special political occasion. Though full, and what may be called its outer rim overflowing, the body of the House of Lords did. not present that painfully packed aspect which characterises the Com mons, nor was there the same stiffness and angu larity in the former which is inevitable in the other. The prevailing tone of the Commons is sombre, while the Lords' house is radiant wit, colour, crim son and purple tints abounding in the area, while ever-varying kaleidoscopic hues are caught from the dresses of the ladies who fringe the gallery. In every respect besides the audience is a representa tive one, and it was to an assembly at once fit as well as full that the Earl of Derby rose to bring forward the Reform measure of the Government. Nothing could be more confident than his tone, and the way in which he spoke of having gathered peers from all parts of the world to support him against the gratuitous opposition of Earl Grey was specially significant of that re solve which was to be traced in his every word, that of yielding no jot of the measure which it had cost him so much anxiety to bring to ;its present position. Though his voice was somewhat more shrill than of yore, and the physical effort he was making was not inconsiderable, he sustained him self effectively, and was fluent and distinctly audible to the very end of a speech of very nearly two hours' duration. There is no doubt that Earl Grey has studied elocution, so as to be painfully artistic , and though his voice is used to be clear and sufficiently loud he always seemed as if he had followed the Demosthe nic method, and having studied eloquence with peb bles in his mouth had forgotten to take out one of them when his pupilage ceased. If emphasis and energy of speech are proofs of sincerity of opinion, he intended on this occasion to give evidence of the profundity of his convictions on the question of reform from his own point of view. But the noble earl overrated his powers, for, some time before he finished his speech, his voice failed him, be became quite inaudible, and with something like an apology for failure, he came to an abrupt conclusion. The first of Lord Derby's party who pronounced for the bill was Lord Ravensworth—of whom, however, there is a tradition that he was at one time a reformer. At this time the debate took what may be designated a minor turn, the speakers being the Earl of Morley, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, the Duke of Rutland, who revived from a long silence to oppose the bill, and the Earl of Camperdown, a youthful aspirant to Parliamentary honours, which he sought to achieve by a course against the measure akin to that of the Cranborneites in the Commons. With sin gular sequence the Earl of Carnarvon took up the theme in the same sense as the two preceding Peers, and drew a picture, with no flattering hand, of his late colleagues as they appeared dealing with Reform in Opposition and in office ; all the while Mr. Disraeli listening to him from the steps of the throne. The task of replying to the noble earl was committed to Earl Beauchamp, who is a member designate of the Government., and, 'therefore, had made elaborate preparations to defend it. The noble earl outdid his congeners in the liberality of his views, expressing a desire that household suffrage should be ex tended to counties, and was accordingly congra tulated with some irony by Earl Granville, who followed, on the skill with which he and the Go vernment which he followed had so long stifled their reforming ardour, which when it escaped them had absolutely put Mr. Bright into the shade of reaction. As a whole he accepted the bill, though he urged some, indeed a good deal, of ex pansion of its scheme of redistribution. It was time for the Government - to be heard by its repre soutatives proper, and so the Duke of Marlborough began to speak on behalf of his order in the Cabinet. As it was whispered earlier in the evening that it would be, the Earl of Shaftesbury obtained the adjournment of the debate soon after half-past twelve. The small attendance of members in the Com mons was not less significant of the " period of the session" than the performance of the annual sacri fice of bills, by the Parliamentary Arch-Priest. The fulfilment of his promise by Mr. Disraeli to indicate the measures which the Government pro pose to cast into the limbo of next session, how ever, did not involve so large a destruction as might have been anticipated. Out of fifty bills in charge of the Government he actu ally withdrew only nine ; the most notable of which which were the Murder Law Amend ment Bill, the Irish Land Bills, and the Admiralty Jurisdiction, and the Office of Judge of the Admi ralty, Probate, and Divorce Courts Bill. The 41 other measures, together with the remainder of the Estimates for some of which immediate arrange ments were made, form a programme quite adequate to occupy two months more hard work ; but there is always more than one " massacre," and the second is invariably more ruthless than the first. Possi bly Mr. Disraeli reckons a good deal on the plas ticity of the house to get through such a mass of business as he has left still to be dealt with ; and he might well take encouragement from the first formal Act of the House last evening, which was to pays the second reading of the Scotch Reform Bill without a word of discussion, there being only three or four Scotch members present. Again, the Meeting in Parks' Bill, which awhile ago would have created quite a sensational debate, was very tersely discussed; its object, that of rendering political meetings in the Parks unlawful, being very quietly stated by Mr. Gathorne Hardy, while Mr. Peter Taylor, though he was emphatic in his denunciation of this mea sure, was not in the least stimulated by that overt s ympathy of his supporters which is signified by inarticulate sounds. The surrounding circum stances were appropriate to the calm, phil os ophical toneof Mr. Stuart Mill's speech, and the only ex citement, and that was., momentary, was caused by one of Mr. John Hardy's blunderings into ex cess of language, so as to render it necessary to call him to order. The discussion stopped almost with a jerk, and the second reading was passed, on a division, by 181 to 64. The next order being supply, in a moment or two the House was reduced to the minutest of committees. Having gone through the votes prescribed for the evening, the House fell on the orders, which were, before they were weeded, 6) in number, and dealt with a variety of subjects, such as turnpikes, county court's, lunatic asylums (Ireland), and so o n f or th e rest of the sitting.—Telegraph. COLLISION ON THE NORTII LONDON RAILWAY.— A serious collision took place early on Sunday morning on the North London Railway with a train loaded with volun teers returning from the Wimbledon Review. The special was rather a long ono, and was convoying an Essex corps back to their headquarters at Stratford Victoria Dock. On approaching the Victoria Park Station, about half-past twelve o'clock, the North London engine was detached, and one belonging to the Groat Eastern Railway Com pany put on in order to take the train down the Strat ford branch of the North London, which leaves the main line just above the Victoria Park Station. It appears that some of the Volunteers wished to alight at the latter station, and in passing on to the branch the train went beyond the platform, and the driver reversed his steam and backed the carriages. In doing so the rear break of the train returned on to the main up line. Just at this moment a light engine came up, on its way to the company's locomotive works at Bow, and the pointsman, thinking that the special had gone on, gave the signal clear, and the light engine proceeded on the same line of rails on which the end of the Volunteers' train was standing. As the engi Jo driver came on and neared the platform, he saw the rear of the train, and he did his best to slacken speed. The distance, how over, was too short to avoid a collision, and the engine struck the last carriage with great force and shat tered it, and also the next two carriages. As• may be imagined there was considerable alarm at the time, and, considering the nature of the accident, it is most providen tial that the consequences were not more serious to the volunteers. Two of them were stated to have been much hurt, but we have not been able to ascertain the precise extent of their injuries. The shock must also have been severe to the occupants of some of the other carriages. After some delay the disabled carriages were detached and the train sent on. The injured volunteers were forwarded to their respective homes. This is the second collision that has happened on this small section of the line within the last low days, NOTES JON, UESDA Y EN E NIN JULY 23, 1867 FROM TRAINING QUARTERS. THIRD EDITION.

Others from the stable, including Verulam, Grim ston, Whitby, Knight Errant, Claymore, Miracle, and Musician were doing very good work. ILS LEY. MoNDAv.—Aggravator has met with an accident, which will prevent his running for the Goodwood Stakes. STOCKBRIDGE. Yesterday (Monday) tho weather continued showery and cold. The horses were out early in the morning doing a fair amount of work. Cuckoo, Valenciennes, Traviata, Lady Seymour, Papillon, and Penthesilea stripped and had a good gallop for three-quarters of a mile. Gomera, Vauban, Cau casus, and Lady Rose stripped and had a four-mile and a half sweat. They finished a good morning's work in the rain. LEWES.

Both have been before the public several time; with varied success. Murphy trained at Wilcox's, the White Hart, Barnes, and Edwards at Salter's, with Catlin, and both were in good conditicn, Murphy to be preferred, and 7 to 4 was laid on him. Joe Sadler was referee, Tom Wise showed Murphy up, and J. Caflin piloted the other, who won the toss for choice, and took the Middlesex side. Murphy took tho lead, and although Edwards drew up slightly, hold it'by half a length at the Star and Garter, and was nearly clear at Simmonds's. Edwards gave him uo rest to the point, where Murphy spurted, and got further away, so that by the time they arrived at Dung-wharf he was three lengths ahead. His opponent spurted gamely several times, but four lengths divided them at Hammersmith, and in Corney Reach, where the water was rough, they caught crabs re peatedly, and nearly went overboard ; Edwards, however, decreasing Murphy's lead. He continued to spurt hard, and from the bathing place to Barnes-bridge there was not more than a clear length between them. From here to Wilcox's Edwards drew half a length, and nearly over lapped Murphy, but the latter maintained his lead, and won a hard race by scarcely a length clear.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Carnarvonshire Railway and Caledonian Railway (Fur farshire,) Bills were read a second time. The harl of OARNARVON said he wished to call the attention of the noble Duko (Marlborough) to the fact that tho noble duke was reported to have said that the bill called the " Ten Minutes Bill" was proposed by him (Lord Carnarvon). He would now ask the noble Duke whether that was the case. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH said that what he said was that the Ten Minutes Bill was introduced to suit the feelings of the noble earl and others in the Cabinet. Lord CARNARVON was understood to dissent from the bill, and the subject dropped. TESTS ABOLITION (OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE) BILL. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH gave notice that ho should move that this bill 138 read that day three mouths. VACCINATION BILL. This bill was committed and passed. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. _ . The E+rl of SEIAFTESBCTRY, ou the resumption of the debate on this important question, said it was not pleasant to speak upon a question which one would most probably not be able to alter. He was, however, always glad when a great measure was introduced into that house to hear that it was to bo of vital consequence to the interests of the people. But he had heard no such sentiments from the noble earl oppo site, he had only said that this bill, and he quote :1 his lordship's words, " Was so Conservative in its mea sures as to leave no ground of apprehension." Ho had trusted that others who would conic after, members of the Government, would say something more in favour of the bill; but it seemed to him that their only argu ments seemed to bo that of setttng bill against bill, Cabinet against, and Minister against Minister. This bill had come to them from the other house without a division, and successful in almost every clause, and as this was the last opportunity of expressing their opinion on it, lie should trouble them with the few remarks he was about to make. He should have wished the bill to have been passed upon a principle which should induce the working men to en deavour to gain the benefit of the franchise by increased industry and sobriety. He had always himself been a Radical, and should be so till the end of his days, but his great object was to advance the condition to the slightest degree of the working man. He should like to see the working man, from the condition even of a sweep, raise himself by honest industry to be Primo Minister. With regard to this measure, however, ho could not approve of a bill which would suddenly ;give to the residuum of society what ought to belong to the honest, hard-working man. They must prepare the way before they introduced such extreme measures—make the people fit to receive it in ac cordance with the condition of the people. Why when we can go down stairs should we jump out of window. He quite agreed with the noble duke, the President of the Council, this was not a final measure. It was onl y a rest ing-place by the way, but ho (the noble earl) considered that it was nut a happy resting-place. There could be no finality except in death. The house hold suffrage was not a resting place, even in the sense of repose. The measure goes a great way in deed, but the arguments went Much further. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had made a declaration that every man of mature age, untainted by crime, had a moral right to the suffrage. (Dissent.) Well, he had un derstood so—he might have erred ; at all events, they had instilled into the minds of the people that the franchise was a right and not a trust. (Dissent.) But he knew that that impression had gone abroad amongst the people. He had heard one friend say that the object of going so low was to satisfy all classes. They had, by making the vote a right established universal suffrage. By the lodger franchise they had given a vote to a man who had no opportunity of exercising the duty of a citizen. He paid no rates m taxes, he did not serve on juries, nor did in any way perform the func tions of a citizen. (Hear, hear.) He would show them that in one district which he knew where there were 144 houses, which now returned 15 voters, would, under the new bill, supply 97. The Earl of DERBY was understood to say that most of them paid £lO of rent. The Earl of S HA.F rESBURY said that he was coming to that, but that affected married men only. The Reform League had said unless you reduced the franchise to 2s Gd. you would exclude the whole of the young men unmarried in certain districts, but if they reduced it for those who would not pay more, they would reduce it fur those who cannot. It was certain they would never know the amount or number of persons who, when the registers were opened, would claim the suffrage. They would find that by this lodger franchise they had almost come to universal suffrage. It had been promised on both sides of the house that no preponderating class should bo allowed, bit now there was the greatest apprehen sion that the democratic class would now preponderate Ho considered that the suffrage which they wer e a b ou t t o give would act in the most dangerous way against old established institutions. It would act against the Church of England he believed. Ho considered that those who would then prevail would be antagonistic to the Church of England. Ho knew what was the feeling iu their own House, but what would happen when their was that democratic pressure exercised he could pretty well imagine. 'Were we not living in a time when nothing was taken as granted, everything must be traced to its first principle. Every man now wished to rise to a higher position, and that would exclude them from the Legislature. He did not think they should go off by violence, but with the elegant softness of a dis solving view. There was a strange feeling growing up, and he would read them an extraordinary paragraph from the Times' Correspondent in America. It stated that Mr. Wade, president of the United States' Senate, had been on a tour to Kansas, and there he said that he found that, since the question of slavery Lad been dis posed of, that those of labour and capital should now occupy public attention, and he said that as far as the distribution of property was concerned that it was not right that one man should labour and another should not. They would hat e a society formed soon for the redistribution of property. If this feeling was rising iu the United States, why should it not spring up hero ? (LEFT SPEAKING.) lIOUSE OF COMMONS.—This DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. ROYAL PARKS BILL. This bill passed through committee pro forma in order that it might be reprinted as amended. THE TORNADO. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. GREGORY called the attention of the house to the case of the Tornado vessel, which had been seized by the Spanish Government uu the ground that she was engaged in contraband trading with Chili, with which country Spain was at war. Ho contended that the Tornado was to all intents a Chilian ship-of-war. The noble lord the Secretary of Foreign Affairs had on 'a former occasion stated that it was possible that the Tornado was destined for the Chilian Government, that she was carrying Chilian officers, and that therefore the owners h a d i n f r i nge d th e Foreign En listment Act, and had forfeited all right to call upon her Majesty for protection. Every document that had been presented to Parliament since that statement, he con tended, had fully proved that she was a Chilian vessel-of war, aid that under such circumstances the Spanish Government might have condemned her as contraband, and might have d-etainod the crew until the termination of hostilities. _ A long debate ensued, in which the ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. B. COCHRANE took part, the latter hon. gentleman contending that the action of the Spanish Government was totally unjustifiable, and that even if it was other wise nothing could justify the conduct of the Spaniards ' towards the crew of the Tornado, who were kept in prison for several months, and therefore Spain ought to be called on to make ample compensation for the wrong that had been committed. The hon. gentleman hoped his noble friend would strongly demand adequate compensation from the Spaniards to cover the loss of the ship, and compensa tion to the officers and crew. Sir J. COLLIER thought nothing could justify the conduct of the Spanish Government towards the crew of the Tornado, even supposing the capture of the vessel was legal, and he expressed a strong hope that the Government would insist on an indemnity from Spain for the captain and crow. Mr. SELWYN thought the matter might safely be left in the hands of tho Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. M. WYLD said whatever might be the result of the debate, after the discussion that had taken place he felt certain substantial justice would be done to the captain and craw, who had been subjected to the most. barbarous cruelty by the Spanish Government. He also was certain that it the noble lord made aforinal demand ou the Spanish Government the vessel would be given up without the formality of a now trial being gone through. Lord STANLEY said he was g lad to have it uin siolimios power to set right an opinion th at had prevailed an s. quarters that menace had been used towards the p Government to obtain the release of the ship Q.u..eent,s.y.ing c toria. Here again it was said there WasGibraltar.Tfuliiere in Spain with respect to the possession of was also a British feeling iu the matter, nd he did not think there was any likelihood, iu the preosaLa.nt state of pub ld bo given up. lie feeling, that that British possession It had been asked why the Govern.metnaldeeid.

It had not possess the power uacy in the law for also been said therowasaihricteq subject the Government enforcing neutrality, but on that had done all in its power, as at the commencement of the sessio With whole subject had been taken into considera tion. respect to the matter more par . tfcularly . before the house, it divid?d. itself into three poi ttons, viz., t e legality and jurisdictioii of the capture, the treatment of the crew, and the justice of the subsequent pruceediugs. With respect to the first, he did not think that any blame attached to the Spanish Government. If they thought the vessel was infringing the laws of neutrality, they were justified in seizing the ship, but if they were wrong in their suspicions, then they would have to pay for the loss and inconvenience occasioned. With respect to the treatment of the crew, it was impossible to deny that there had been undue and unnecessary harshness exercised by le t o Spanish Government. H e did all that was possib hasten on their trial and their ultimate release, and he was glad he had succeeded, otherwise a feeling would have sprung up in this country which it would have been most difficult to allay. With respect to the questio of indemnity, that must ultimately turn upon the charac ter of the vessel, which would have to be proved at the next tthl. With respect to the procedure in the Spanish Courts, he did not approve of the system in existence in Spain, of hearing the charge, returning a verdict, and then giving the person charged an appeal. It was not in his opinion the same as giving the accused a hearing and than returning a verdict. That, he felt, was the right of every man—(hear, hear) —and such a right had been claimed. (Hear, hear.) it had been said that we ought to have at once demanded the return of the ship, but sub stantial justice would be done by going to a new trial, and what the Government proposed, therefore, to do was to await the decision of the trial, but it was also the duty of the owners of the vessel to watch their own case. (Hear, hear.) The subject then dropped. INDUSTRIAL AND PROVIDENT SOCIETIES BILL This bill was read a third time and passed. The sitting was then suspend , . d. LONDON GAZETTE.-THIS EVENING.

THE EMPRESS OF TILE FRENCIL—The French Imperial steam yacht Reine Hortense, with her Majesty the Empress of the French oa board, arrived off Ports mouth early yesterday morning from Havre, after a plea sant passage of eight hours, and achored until afternoon in the vicinity of the Spit Buoy. A party of ladies and gen tlemen from the yacht, including it was supposed the Empress, landed at Southsea in the morning, and spent some time on the Esplanade and Common, and partook of luncheon at the Pier Hotel. Shortly before 2 p.m. the Reine Hortense again weighed for anchor, and steamed slowly past the fleet at Spithead for Osborne, where the Empress arrived on a visit to her Majesty the Queen soon after 3 p.m. As the Empress travelled incognita the yacht hoisted no standard. REMARKABLE EFFECT OF LIGHTNING. —As a young man in the telegraph office at Carrick-on-Suir was trans mitting some messages last week during the thunder storm which was then raging fiercely, the electric fluid entered the office and struck from his hand an open penknife, which he was holding. The knife having struck against the wall of the office rebounded, and the haft struck the young man on the back of the wrist, which itmnediately became very much swollen.

THE SULTAN.—Although his Imperial Majesty the Sultan remained at Buckingham Palace all day on Sunday, he was occupied on subjects most important to the interests of the Ottoman Empire. After the departure of Lord Stanley, Mr. Page, the engineer of Westminster bridge, was introduced to his Imperial Majesty by his Highness Fuad Pacha, and with the assistance of his son, Mr, F. J. Page, exemplified to the Sultan and his Highness Fuad Pacha the mode of ascending steep gradients, the particulars of which wore explained by his Highness Fuad Pacha and Signor Guarracino. Ilis Imperial Majesty fully comprehended the whole system, and hoped it would be fully developod before his ministers at Constantinopb, inasmuch as fur the interests of the Ottomam Empire the introduction of a more economical system of railways was most important.
