The wheat plant in this 1 district is generallY in bloom, and looks exceedingly lealthY, although in some fields rather thin on the ground. The bulk of the hay crop is now ~e ca re, and considered to be above an average. I_ , 00t cro ps and pastures were wonderfully benefited hashy the late rain. The corn trade during the week liberal been influenced by fine weather, and also by t arrivals of foreign wheat, with more pressure clo .sell parcels of stained and sprouted English. At this day's market, although the supply of fine tiglill wheat was small, it proved equal to the demand, and sold at fully last week's quotations. _ oll We are requested to publish the annexed :---."

THE BELGIAN VOLUNTEERS. too st 1 20i 10 100 1 To-day our foreign friends visited the City of London, where they were entertained in the most sumptuous manner by the Lord Mayor. The at tention of our foreign visitors was riveted by the crowds of persons who assembled to greet them on their marc'i, and altogether a scene—not, how ever, without some confusion—of the most ani mated description presented itself. Fleet street, St. Paul's Churchyard, and Cheapside were thronged to such au extent that all business pur poses were almost entirely put a stop to ; but, not withstanding this temporary inconvenience, the citizens generally showed their appreciation of the visit by the display of thousands of banners and flags from their windows and house tops, the Belgian colours, of course, preponderating over all the rest. The Belgians seemed in eestacies with their recep tion, and returned the salutations they received with the greatest enthusiasm. THE SUN, LoINDOIS, FRIDAY EVENINGI, JULY 12, 1867 POLICE INTELLTGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-SI AEET. PICKPOCKETS AND THE BELGIAN VOLUNTEERS. —T wo fellows, named Joseph Doughty and henry Marsden, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with loitering in Coventry street, for the purpose of committing a felony. After some evidence had been given, Mr. Tyrwhitt said that everybody acquainted with the police courts must be aware of the fact that as soon as a body of foreigners arrived they wore followed and hunted about by a parcel of the lowest fellows. It was a disgrace that the Volunteers could not be here more than a fow hours before they were set upon by such fellows as the pri soners. That was the reception they met with on their arriving here. Ile should commit the prisoners for three Months each, with hard labour. Mz,1117E5.76. --This Day. -- ---~► ORDINGILY SHAItES AND STeti. Paid.

THE BELGIAN VOLUNTLERS.—Edward Sweeney, a youth between 17 and 18 years of age, was placed at the bar charged with the following iinpudJut robbery upon the occasion of. the Belginu' debareation at Westminsi:er bridge. Major Henry Court, an aged gentleman, coming from Twyford, and a stranger itt„ London, said that at a little after five yesterday afternoon he was going from Parlia ment-street to Westminster-bridge, when he was suddenly involved in a crowd of persons and robbed of a pair of silver eye glasses, which the prisoner afterwards threw away. William Lush, 1.98 A, said he was on duty at Westmin ster-bridge when the Belgians wore landing, and saw Major Court. He was suddenly surrounded by four or five thieves, including the prisoner, who impudently went in front of him, and, taking the eye-glasses front his waist coat pocket, broke them from a stout riband to which they were attached. Witness seized him, when ho threw the glasses down, and then kicked them from him. Prisoner—lt's all a mistake—the gentleman takes me for somebody else that has robbed him. I ain't guilty, upon my soul. Of course it is easy to make a mistake. Lush said the prisoner had some trcublo to break the riband, it was so strong. In doing so he had bout the eye-glasses. Prisoner was fully committed for trial. AQUATIO3. THE SAILING BARGE MATCH. . . The extensive popularity of the sailing barge regatta was fully demonstrated on Thursday by the extraordinary number of persons congregated to wiLness the event.

A meeting of the county magistrates was held yes terday for the transaction of county business. Mr. Kemshead was called to the chair pro tem. There was a numerous attendance of magistrates. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Kemshead) said the first business they had to transact was of a very pleasing character, namely, the election of a chairman of the sessions until the county day of next July quarter sessions. He had uo d ou bt i n his own mind who that chairman would be, for they had had that gentleman's services for many years, and, doubt less, he would be re-elected that day. Mr. ARMSTRONG said he had much pleasure in proposing the name of Mr. Pownall as their chair man for the ensuing year. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. POWNALL then took the chair amid loud ap plause, and, in returning, thanks for the compliment that had been paid him, said he had always felt great pleasure in fulfilling, or attempting to fulfil, the duties which the office involved. TIIE COUNTY AND LUNATIC RATES. The next business was to make an ordinary county rate, and a rate under the lunatic asylum. Mr. KEMSIIEAD said he had to ask for a some what heavy county rate this time, iu order to meet the necessary expenses ; and he would therefore move that a rate of three farthings in the pound be made for the county rate, and one halfpenny in the pound for the lunatic rate. This was approved. HOUSE OF CORRECTION, COLDBATII-FIELDS. The report of the committee of visiting justices was read, from which it appeared that the number of prisoners in custody was 1,691, consisting of— felons, 1,033 ; misdemeanants, 509 ; vagrants, 149. Corporal punishment bad been inflicted upon pri soners for offences against prison discipline in five cases. The visiting justices' report was that the pri soners in custody at the House of C orrec ti on wer e 203, and that the prison discipline was highly . satisfac tory. The governor had completed six years' service. and, his duties being increased, it was recommended that his salary be raised from £350 to £4OO, from Midsummer last. This was agreed to. ADMISSION OF ROMAN CATHOLICS TO THE PRISON, Mr. GLOSSOP moved the admission of Roman Catholics to the prison. Mr. Sergeant PAYNE, in an amendment, moved that the court, by the opinions of counsel, was of opinion that the celebration of mass ought not to be permitted within the county prison. A division took place, and the numbers were— for the amendment, 51 ; against it, 60. The original motion was carried. TINE CONDITION OF THE SESSIONS-HOUSE. Lieutenant-Colonel JEAKES moved that the sub ject be referred to the Committee of Accounts, for them to repot t their opinion thereon. The motion was agreed to, and the proceedings then terminated. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET—Thii Day The market opens steady. Sales probably 10,000 bales. ARRIVAL OF THE SULTAN. (TIES DAY.) PovER, July 12. The Sultan arrived here in the Imperial yacht La Reine Hortense at a quarter to 11 this morning, and was received by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the Viceroy of Egypt, and Staff.

Tha train with the illustrious party left fur London at half-past 12. CIIARING-CROSS STATION. This afternoon the Sultan arrived in London. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales left town early this morning for Dover, to welcome his High ness to England. Grand preparations were made at the Charing-cross Station of the South-Eastern Railway to receive his Highness with becoming state. The spacious station was eligibly decorated with flags and evergreens, and vast galleries filled with elegantly dressed ladies gave a special charm to the exciting scene. The floral display within -the station was most beautiful, and the taste that had designed and carried into effect the whole of this part of the imposing proceeding was worthy the highest praise. At the upper end of the platform where it was arranged the royal carriage was to stop, was covered with scarlet carpetting, and vast pyramids of flowers were placed at either end, giving the whole a most picturesque and charming appear ance. The Grenadiers formed the guard of honour, under the command of Col. Dudley Carleton and the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), under the com mand of Col. Williams, attended to escort his High ness to Buckingham Palace. At a quarter before two six of her Majesty's state carriages drove into the station, and at a quarter to three the royal train arrived, and his Highness the Sultan, on alighting, was received with tromendous cheers and every demonstration of respect. Having acknowledged the salutations of the company his Highness entered au open carriage and proceeded to Buckinghain Palace. The arrangements for the reception of the Sultan at Charing-cross, were, thanks to the untiring spirit and energy of Mr. Cockburn, the general superin tendent of the company, perfect in every particular, and the satisfactory manner in which the whole of the ceremonial went off must have been as gratify ing to him as it was pleasant to a large and brilliant company that found ample accommodation within the spp.cious station. MARKETS.—This day. --~- MARK LANE. Although the supply of English wheat on sale hero to day was limited the demand for all kinds ruled very in active. However, iu the few sales effected, Monday's prices were supported. The quantity of foreign wheat offering was moderately extensive. Fine dry samples were held at full quota tions; but inferior kinds were quite neglected. Floating cargoes of grain ruled about stationary. Both English and foreign barley were in short supply, and moderate request, at full prices. Malt was iu good supply, and steady request, on former terms. The show of oats was large. Good sound corn realised full quotations, but damp parcels were a slow inquiry, at barely late rates. Beans and peas were held on former terms. The supply was very liinitei.

TEA —There has been a very moderato inquiry ; the trade deferring their operations until the public sales of China produce, which commence on Tuesday next. SUGAlt.—The market continuos very dull, and late rates aro with difficulty maintained for West India. In the refined market quotations are also a shade lower. COFFEE.—A fair demand has preiailed for Plantation Ceylon, and full rates are generally current, while coarse and inferior descriptions are neglected. Rica.—For soft grain descriptions there is a good de mand, but without any change in values. INDIGO. —The public sales have continued to progress with considerable spirit, and extreme rates have been ob tained for superior qualities. PETROLEUJf AS FUEL. In a late number we gave an account of the application of petroleum as a means of generating steam for propel ling vessels, for which purpose tho United States steamship Palos was fitted with the necessary apparatus. We now give the account of the trial trip, taken from the Boston Advertiser of the 15th Juno:-- The Palos left her dock at the navy yard at ten minutes before 11 o'clock, and returned to it shortly before ono. When she had been out fifteen minutes it was found that she was moving through the water at a rate of over eleven and a half miles an hour, and she was gaining steadily with thirty-eight pounds of steam, having started with thirty-five pounds. This fact caused considerable sur prise on board when it was shown that, under the coal as fuel system, upon its first trial trip, when the vessel was new, its best time was only eight knots an hour, and that it had not made better time than eight and a half since until now. It was further clearly demonstrated to the intensely interested passengers that the Palos was in very poor trim, that her bow stood up from the water and her stern was planted down ; that she dragged dead water and in several other respects was not all right, and therefore that the rate of speed under the circumstances was rather extraordinary. The vessel went down the harbour past the forts and islands, and out to sea a short distance beyond Boston Light, and then returned by a somewhat circuitous route. The first 48 minutes she made over eleven and a half miles, and ran upon the entire trip twenty-five miles in 1 hour and 55 minutes. With her action and the success of the experiment there was general satisfaction among the passengers, and much enthusiasm was shown by the scientific gentlemen. The Palos, which made this novel trip, is a small gun boat, and formerly used four coal fires, and had a crow of twenty firemen and coal passers. With the petroleum apparatus she requires a crew of only three men, as the supply of fuel is easily regulated, and cin ders or ashes are made. The petroleum is supplied from two large iron tanks placed on dock, each tank haying a glass gauge at its aide to indicate the height of the petro leum, and a vent pipe upon the top to permit the escape of vapour. From these tanks the petroleum is conducted by halt-inch pipes to the boiler furnace. It there drops into iron retorts, heated by boilers placed beneath them, and is instantly vapourisod. This vapour, in burning, is mixed with steam, decomposed by passing through the pipes Partially filled with iroa filings, and with oxygen sup plied by atmospheric air, forced in by a common air pump. The heat thus generat ed is intense, and it is a noticeable fact the combustio n is so p erfect that no smok e is perceptible. A diminution of the supply of air or steam at once creates a smoke. Iler engine is about 80-horse power. This initial voyage will be fo llowed by sever al others so as to completely test the invention. Should it be will found to be all that promises, undoubtedly it create a revolution in the manner of propelling steamers and locomotives, and such machines. The advantages of petroleum as fuel over coal are appa rent. For the trip yesterday about four barrels of oil were used; tho c aptain of the boat been declaresconsumed in that some the six or e i g ht tons of coal would have same work. .t.. largo a mount of coal would have been required to start the fires, and much would have boon wasted when the sail was completed, as the heat was kept well up until the last moment. Whoa it was given out yesterday that the fires wore needed uo longer, by simply turning two or three throttle valves the flames were extinguished, and in a few minute's time tho fires were down. Of course there were no ashes and no dirt, and the fire-room was as clean as could be, and the neat carpet with which the floor was covered was not soiled in the least. Colonel Henry B. Foote, of Tennessee, the inventor, superintended the work in the fire-room, which was ex ceedingly light and not disagreeable, and Engineers C. W. Pennington and Henry W. Scott had charge of the engine. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Diy. LIVERPOOL RACES—THIS DAY. (cv ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) • SEFTON HANDICAP.

The Earl Grey, Earl Granville, and other noble lords took part. MEETINGS IN ROYAL PARKS BILL. The Earl of DERBY said that the pressure of important business had been so great that they had not been able to bring in a bill on this subject, but that they would very sbortly do so, and he, therefore, asked his noble friend (Lord P,,edesdale) to postpone his motion. Lord REDESDALE, after commenting on the import ance of the question being settled, agreed to postpone the motion. CHRIST CHURCH (OXFORD) ORDINANCES BILL. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY moved the second reading of this bill, and said that, though it was a local question, it was a most important one. After a few other unimportant remarks, the Bill was read a second time. CONSECRATION OF CHURCHYARDS BILL. On the motion for the report of amendments on this bill to be received, it was agreed to. I LEFT SITTING. I HOUSE OF COMMONS—TiIIs DAY. The Speaker took the chair at two o'clock. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. On the bringing up of the report of the committee on this bill a discussion took place on various matters of detail, none of which involved any particular point of ©i in the bill, and the consideration of the clause conferring tho franchise on lodgers. Mr. BOUVERIE made a somewhat lengthy statement, the effect of which was that ho considered it inexpedient to confer the franchise on persons in such a position. The result, however, was that the amendment of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which was merely to clearly define that lodgers should be of full age and subject to no legal incapacity before they should be entitled to vote, was agreed to. Mr. TAYLOR moved an amendment to the clause, the effect of which was to secure the vote to lodgers changing their place of residence. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was of opinion that the proposal would be inexpedient because it went to the extent of giving the veto t) lodgers in suc cession. Tho proposed amendment was rejected. Mr. AYRTON moved the following addition to clause s:—" Whore, after the 29th day of September next, any premises in any borough are let for a less period than ono year, or the rent reserved in respect thereof is made payable at any shorter period than three months, 019 owner as well as the occupier shall bo rate d to the relief of the poor, and shall be liable to pay the rates in respect thereof, with out prejudice to any contract between the owner and oc cupierregarding their liability as between themsel receiving es to the the pa yment of such rates. The person rent of any premises from the occupier or occupiers thereof on his own account, or as agent or receiver for any corporation or person under disability and este h d e therein, shall, for the purposes aforesaid be deemed iem d au rated as the owner of the premises." The hon g t object in premises i n s u d e o h i n g as so h o sa w ki ner th o e f I set at defiance the e than one year, whereby he could u h t y was d o sc to ribe l d r.s o v f esiLtaktihneg such an arranement as to letting them for shorter periods franchise.

Yesterday afternoon an accident ocean., d near the signal post at Battersea-bridge, on the Loudon, Chatham, and Dover Railway, by which sixteen of the passengers were injured. The train, con sisting of eight or ten carriages, left the Victoria Station at 2.5 p.m., on the down line. It pro ceeded on its journey till it arrived at the other side of Battersea-bridge, when by some unknown circumstance the back portion of the train separated from the rest, and one carriage was thrown over upon its side on the level of the lower line. The engine with tbree or four carriages kept on the line ; but the following car riages running off, struck against the parapet, and on the strain of the engine to pull them forward the coupling chain broke. The train consisted of first, second, and third-class carriages. It was found that several of the passengers, amounting to 16, were injured, and they were at once conveyed back to the Victoria Station, where they were attended by medical men. Fortunately at present no loss of life has oc curred, and most of the injured passengers were sent in cabs and other conveyances to their homes. Dr. Duncan Smith, of 32, Upper Belgrave-place, accom panied by his assistant, Mr. Wilson, were imme diately on the spot on arrival of the sufferers, as also Mr. S. Solley, the surgeon attached to the company. They examined the wounds and injuries of the pas sengers, and the officials of the company, with every kindness, despatched them to their homes. One lady, however, was conveyed to the Grosvenor Hotel, and was placed in bed, and two other pas sengers were conveyed to St. George's Hospital, where they remain under the care of Mr. F. M. Sims, the house surgeon. The following is a list of the passengers who sustained injury :—Miss Ludlow, staying at the Grosvenor Hotel ; wound on arm from broken glass. Henry Green, 167, Marylebone road ; contusion of forehead and crown. Edward Ashdowue, 155, Portland-road, Notting-hill; injury to spine. Henry King, 30, James-street, Bucking ham-gate, contused head.
