MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCII, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Discount Market to-day is quiet, and the rates are easy. At the Bullion Office of the Bank of England there were no gold operations of importance on Saturday. A general meeting of the Port Phillip and Colo nial Gold Mining Company is announced to be held on the 22d inst., to receive a report from the direc tors for the past half-year. It recommends a distri bution of Is. per share, payable on the 23d inst., free of income-tax. The receipts in the colony have been £36,374, and the expenditure £31,576. The general finance shows a surplus, after discharging every liability in England, of £7,243, which, after Payment of the dividend, and 10 per cent. added to the reserve fund, will leave a balance of £l,BBl to be carried forward. The Bank of Australia held their half-yearly meeting to-day, when a dividend was declared at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum and a bonus of 6k per cent. per annum, being equal to £2 10s. per share, payable the 15th October next. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben tures are steady, at 23f 24k, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 21 22. The Directors of the St. John D'El Roy Mining Company (Limited) have received the following report, dated Morro Velho, 17th July, 1867 : Produce for June, 51,543 oitavas; from 6,021 tons ore yield 8,122 oitavas per ton. Cost for June, £10,774; profit for do., £9,102. Produce for 11 days of July, 17,857 oitavas ; yield, 8,468 oitavas per ton. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week are of a less favourable character. At Manchester the advices from the Indian markets having caused considerable depression, owing to several failures, cloths and yarns were only iu moderate request, and generally at reduced rates. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield the amount of goods sold has been under the average of former seasons, but prices generally remain steady. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham have been dull, operations for the fall trade not having yet com menced ; fancy goods, however, have been in mode rate request, while in the hardware districts of Bir mingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, the intervention of the rules at the latter place has, in some measure, caused a slight cessation of business operations. The general tone of the trade, how ever, has been more cheerful. A few firms have received moderate orders from Russia for railway iron, but the improvement has not been general. Two o'CLoci. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 69f. 60c. Heavy. Little activity has been observable to-day in the market for English Stocks, and, indeed, in securi ties of all kinds. Very few speculative operations are reported, and investments are reduced to a mini mum, owing to the absence of so many people from the metropolis.

This (Monday) morning, between the hours of two and three o'clock, the inhabitants of Kentish town were greatly alarmed by the sudden outbreak of a fire, supposed to have been the work of a vile incendiary, in an unfinished house, situate at 90, Lanford-road. When the fire was discovered by the police, a cart laden with building materials was wrapped in flames, and very few minutes elapsed before the fire rushed into a partly-finished eight roomed house, and thoroughly ignited it from the ground floor to the roof. Mr. Superintendent Mitchell promptly attended with ono of Shand, Mason, and Co.'s patent prize land steamers, as well as the officers of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade. Plenty of the Grand Junction Company's water having been procured the firemen went to work, but they were unable to get the flames extinguished until the cart and the building materials were en_ tirely destroyed. This (Monday) morning Mr. Wm. Payne, the Coroner for London and Southwark, received infor mation of a fire of a distressing character, a n d which unfortunately has been attended with fatal consequences to a young woman. It appears that a house situated at No. 10, Stephenson's-court, Bermondsey, was tenanted by a Mr. Cocklin, but the upper rooms were let out to lodgers. Yester day morning loud cries of " fire" were heard to proceed from the house, and, upon the neighbours and escapeman getting to the house, they found Mary Cole, one of the lodgers, enveloped in flames. The fire about her having been extinguished, and Dr. Donahoo, of the Westminster-road, who was attending to a patient in the court, was called in, but such were the serious nature of the injuries she had received that that gentleman advised her instant removal to the hospital, which was done, but death in a very short time put au end to her sufferings. A spark from the firo is supposed to have caused the disaster. THE COVENT GARDEN CONCERTS. These fashionable concerts commenced for the sea son on Thursday last, under the sole management of Mr. J. Russell, whose ability to cater suc7,ossfully for the public is too well known to require any commendation from us. All the attractions of last season are forth coming, and everything throughout this spacious build ing has been done to increase the comfort of visitors. The Promenade is entirely covered with carpet, and a large amount of accommodation in the way of seats is provided in front of the orchestra, whilst at the back of it Messrs. Spiers and Pond have an attractive refreshment bar as usual, where every requisite is supplied of the best qua lity and at a reasonable cost. The band appears to have lost none of its efficiency under Signor Bottesini as conductor. The music is admirably chosen, and on Saturday night the programme consisted principally of selections from the best operas, amongst which was the overture to " Der Freyschutz ;" Fantasia on Themes from Guonod's " Faust ;" Grand Fantasia from " Robert to Diable," and a selection from "Romeo and Juliet," ar ranged by Signor Bottesini, all effectively rendered by the band. Solos front the last-named opera were admir ably played on the flute by Mr. R. S. Pratten ; the oboe by Mr. Barret; cornet-a-piston, by Mr. Reynolds ; and ophecleide, by Mr. Hughes. Master Bonnay produced some sweet music from the Xylophone, in which perform ance he was greatly applauded. Two vocalists of fascinat ing appearance have also been engaged for these concerts —one of them, Madllo. Sarolta, sang a bolero in "Los Vepres Sicilionnes," and later on gave " I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls" in such charming style that an encore was insisted upon by the audience, with which she partly complied by singing the last verse. Madllo. Eracloo, who possesses a rich contralto voice, sang a Spanish song, "La jota do los Estudiantes ;" and from the brilliant manner in which she rendered it will no doubt become a great favourite with the public. Several other talented artistes, and the Courtois' Brass Band Union, performed during the evening, but we must allude to them more fully on a future occasion. The dance music, com posed by Herr Johann Strauss —each piece of which he not only conducted, but at the same time assisted the band to play in a manner peculiarly his own—was re ceived with an immense amount of enthusiasm, which was richly merited; in fact, after complying with two or three encores, the last we saw of this gentleman was going down the stairs leading from the orchestra, some three or four at a time, so anxious was he apparently to make his exit from the repeated calls upon him from all parts of the house.

THE LATE HEAT.—The extremely hot weather of last week proved fatal to three persons engaged in harvest work in Essex. The sufferers wore Mr. C. Almond, of Great Bentley; Flack, Witham; and W. Moore, Tones hunt d'Arcy. Another man is also reported to be now lying in an unconscious state from sunstroke. At S waff ham, Norfolk, several labourers wore also compelled to suspend work. Mdlle. Fourier, a young lady vocalist of the most prepossessing appearance, made her debut on Saturday morning last at the delightful series of morning concerts now taking place at the Agricultural Hall, or, rather, we should say, Fairy palace, as it is now called. The young lady's voice is a fine mezzo soprano, and, from the great taste and ability with which she rendered the difficult Meyerboer aria " Vanne vanne," from " Robert to Diable, the musical world will doubtless soon become more fami liar with the accomplished vocalist. We need hardly say her debut was of the most successful character. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1807 SHARE LlST—This Day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. MARKETB.--This day. MARK - LANE. In the leading country markets, held on Saturday, the supplies of wheat wore very limited, but the demand ruled inactive, and prices ware barely supported. Barley and all other articles were unchanged in value. Flour was a slow sale. Continental advices also show that the foreign corn trade has participated in the dullness of the English market. In France the supply has continued small, and prices have been maintained ; and in the south of Europe generally the trade has been much restricted. At New York the market is reported dull, and prices are irregular. Now produce is coming steadily forward. The importations into London last week consisted of 15,322 quarters of wheat, 42,241 oats, 375 beans, 45 peas, 96 tares, 6,082 linseed, 5,207 rapeseed, 635 maize, and 2,817 sacks of flour. Fresh up to-day the arrivals of old English wheat were very moderate, of new comparatively small. The attend ance of mirers was far from numerous, and the demand for all kinds of home-grown wheat was in a most inactive state, at prices about equal to Monday last. The new wheat, which came to hand in fair average condition, were disposed of at from Gls to 71s per quarter. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with foreign wheat. All descriptions met a heavy in quiry, at barely late rates. The sale for peas was inactive on former terms. Both English and foreigh flour was very dull, and last week's prices were barely supported. The transactions in floating cargoes of grain are much restricted. 'The few samples of barley on the stands were taken off at a silght improvement in the quotations. Malt—the supply of which was good—sold heavily, and prices had a drooping tendency. We had a steady sale for oats, the prices of which wore well supported. Beans,were held at full quotations with a limited supply on offer. Seeds and cakes commanded very little attention, at last week's prioes. CURRENCY PER IMP.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Our market to-day was seasonably well supplied with stock in somewhat improved condition. Sales progressed steadily, at very full prices, to a slight advance. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, wore limited. From Ireland the supply was moderate, but in miserably poor condition. Nearly all breeds moved off steadily, at an advance in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81bs. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s per 81bs, at which a good clearance was effected. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received about 1,200 short horns and crosses; from other parts of England, 450 various broods; from Scotland, 8 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 150 oxen, cows, &c. We were scantily supplied with English sheep, the quality of which was by no means first-rate. Prime Downs and half-breda changed hands freely at 2d per 81bs more money. Most other breeds were in fair request at full prices. Th• top quotation was 5s psr Blbs. The sale for lambs was very dull at barely late rates viz., from 4s 6d to 5s Gd per 81bs. The supply was toler ably good. Calves were in moderate supply, and steady request. Prime small calves were 2d per 81bs dearer. Other quali ties of veal wore tolerably firm.

The public sales of colonial wool commenced on the 15th inst., and will be continued till the 25th of September. The arrival since last sales are as follows :—Sydney, 28,810 ; Victoria, 24,796 ; Adelaide, 7,142 ; Tasmania, 4,866 ; New Zealand, 38,913 ; Swan River, 430 ; Cape, 21,886; total, 126,846 bales. This, with about 23,000 bales left over from last sale, and 10,000 of probable fur ther arrivals, make the quantity to be offered about 150,000 bales. The attendance of both home and foreign buyers was good, and the biddings were rather spirited, May rates being fairly suliported. In English wool there is very little doing, but prices are unchanged.

The racing of the past week has been anything but pleasant to the regular habitu6s of the Turf, and what with being par boiled at Egham, choked with coal dust and heat at Wolverhampton, and nearly drowned at Oxford, rendered it ono of the most miserable racing weeks I ever remember. There was some good sport at Egham and Oxford for most of the races, but there were one or two glaring cases of roping at Egham on the first day, which the gallant Admiral would probably notice. The class of horses we have had running lately, with a few excep tions, are very moderate, but I suppose the good ones, if there are any, are kept in the back ground for the Autumn Handicaps. There were some surprises at Stock ton, as no one expected to see Taraban beat Tynedale. The owner of the latter should now be satisfied that he has overrated his horse, and must see what a chance he missed in not running him for the Goodwood Stakes, where he could not have failed to beat the wretched la who contested for that event. Those who assert that Vauban will turn the tables on Hermit in the St. Leger must begin to feel uncomfortable on that score, as we all saw him extended to beat Tynedale in the Goodwood Cup, and old Moulsey ran away from the latter at Brighton. How would J. Day try Vauban and Moulsey together? That is the question. For my own ;part I shall not DO surprised to see Julius finish before Vauban at Doncaster, as the Duke of New castle's horse is one of the most improved animals in training. As I told your readers before the Two Thou sand and Derby he was too light then to have any pre t e nsions to win a great ra ce ; but from the great im provement he has made lately, and from his running in the Lewes Handicap with Bst. 21b., I must recommend him as a safe place investment for the St. Leger; but as long as Hermit keeps well he will beat him and every thing else that he will have to meet this year. I have cause to be proud of my selections last week, as I placed first and second for the Wolverhampton Stakes, and selected Uncas for both his races ; and those who fol lowed my advice would gat a good price about him, as he started at 6to 1. I also selected Beauty for the Nur sery, Amanda colt for the Cleveland Cup, and La Dauphine for the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes at Egham. I only hope I may bs as fortunate at York, where all the touts and tipsters have been floored to a man for the last two years, and many backers were broke by laying odds on what they considered certainties. It was there the great Rustic received his coup de grace for the St. Leger; in fact favourite after favourite got bowled over until tne backers were nearly all settled. There are eight closed races for Wednesday, and most of them rich stakes. The Old Three Year Old Produce Stakes will fall to Mr. Merry by the aid of the filly by Dundee out of Blanche of Middlebie. There are 55 nominations for the Convivial Stakes, and the best public performer is Tregeagle, and unless Mr. Merry has a good dark one, Lord Falmouth's smart colt will beat all the others. The Eleventh North of England B iennial Stakes is worth over £7OO, and should Hermit put in an appear ance he will wiu, if not Vauban will place this rich stake to the credit of his noble owner. There are a bad lot of fillies in the Yorkshire Oaks, and if Romping Girl is in form she will have little difficulty in placing this stake to the credit of her owner. The Black Duck Stakes, worth over £3,000 in forfeits alone, will fall to the Duke of Beaufort's Herald, and Lord Glasgow will win tho Burgundy Stakes with Brother tcr Bird on the Wing. The Chesterfield Handicap has a good entry, and no doubt will produce a large field. I have no fancy for any of the top weights until I come to Westwick, nor should I have named him, only I dreamt that he won a race at York ; but as a dream is only a shadow, I must look somewhere else for the winner. It would be only a waste of time for me to go through the performances of all te horses and whichever engaged in this race, as they aro a moderate lo t; Joseph DaffBoll runs, Friday or Miss Harriette will win, that is, if he thinks this stake worth going for. They are both well, and will win a good race before the year is over. The last time I saw them gallop they ran clean away from Guy of Warwick, the then quondam favourite for the Goodwood Stakes. Should Mr. Pryor prefer keeping them for so met hing better Ischia must be my next choice. The Filly Sapling Stakes will be won by Witchcraft or Lady Highthorn. Europa will win the T we lfth North of England Biennial. Bli n khoolie will win the Ebor St. Leger if he runs ; if not, Lochabe r will be best to stand on. The Prince of Wales's Stakes looks a good thing for Idalia ; and the Rawcliffa Stakes will be won by Philosopher. Twenty-four horses have cried content for the Ebor Handicap, but I have no fancy for any of the top weights u ntil I come to Bradamante, as John Day can have no chance with any of his lot. Gomera certainly won the Goodwood Stakes, boating a wretched lot of horses. Beeswing has plenty of weight, but no doubt she will be a great favourite, as the pub lic will follow the Squire, but in my opinion she can't beat Bradamante. Ackworth has been troubled with the slows for a long time. I once had a great fancy for Sealskin, but 1 am afraid he can't stay two miles. I shall be surprised if he does not obtain a situation in this company. Treasure Trove I know nothing of. Raglan has lost the little form he once possessed. Chal lenge is a good fair horse, but not up to Leger form, and I think Mr. Porter will not consider him well enough in hero to put the prices down so freely as he did at Hun tingdon. The Peer is a bad horse, and the Amanda colt has earned a reputation lately; but I don't fancy him to in t hi s company, as John Davis and Moose got too close him at Goodwood in the Queen's Plate. Major Stapylton's horse is well in, and is worth notice, as he ran respect ably in the Northumberland Plate, and won the Cumber land Plate the week after. As I know there is some good money on him, I must therefore couple FAIEWIND with BRADAMANTE to pull me through, with Sealskin for n a place. The Fairfield Stakes will bo won by Uncas, an the Hermit d Inerdale will win the Colt Sapl in g Stakes, and should be sent to York, he will most likely be indulged with a walk over for the Knavesmire Stakes. Vauban will win the Great Yorksh ire Stakes. There are so many dark horses in the Gimcrack Stakes that it would be best left alone until the numbers go up. Philosopher looks best at present. The Nursary is a riddle that I shall n ot . try to solve. Moulsey will no doubt be a groat .favounte for ear a that the lCouthp,tobuattahnedhhasimr,unanidn asandLoacuttusroormaouacmhathtoisbayusetdt I up, m all not be surp r i se d to see 'Tynedale turn the tables I sh on Lord Bateman's horse over this course.

The first meeting of the week, however, will be held at West Drayton on Monday and Tuesday. In the Ladies' Plate TINA is nicely weighted, and is my selection. QUIRINA should be about winning the Colne Handicap. Concerning the Handicap Hurdle race and the Open Hunters' Stakes I cannot say anything. On Tuesday ENDSLEIOH ought to have no diffi culty in running away from his competitors in the West Drayton Handicap, and WILD BEE looks well in the Ivor Plate. The Hastings races require very little notice from me. WATCHBOX will win the Welter Cup if he runs. The Two year-old S takes bas HEATHER BELL and BOUQUETIERE engaged, but as the former is penalised 71b, I give the latter, who only carries Mb extra, the preference ; and in the Hastings Handicap Plate 110PVINE will most likely give a good account of herself. On Wednesday I should think PESINSULA will boat all comers for the Nursery Plate, and the East Sussex Handicap reads like " a moral " for VAM FIRE. The great attraction of the week will be at York, where the August Meeting is looked upon as a half - way house might be, and induces our Scotch and Irish neighbours to fraternise with us in that charm ing city, and also enables them to glean the latest fnformation and the latest state of the odds anent he St. Leger. Whilst alluding to thisgreat race, which is only distant from us some three weeks, it is almost super fluous to mention to many of your readers who daily watch the market how firm the Hermit continues to be, as little as 2 to 1 contenting his backers. Vauban, on the other hand, is not so good a favourite, 3 to 1 being currently offered against him. Taraban's defeat of Tynedale at Stockton is evidently the cause of his going back in the betting, and in so far as the Duke's horse not having beaten the latter easily for the Goodwood Cup, I am decidedly one of his detractors. It has been asserted that the son of Muscovite has always beaten Mr. Bowes's gelding out ofieight whenever they have met. Admitting this to be the case, the infirmity of Taraban's temper is notorious, and it is ridiculous to draw a line from his previous form. Presuming TTNEDALE was in form, and odds of 5 to 2 on him look very like it, a repetition of this performance on the 11th September will certainly compel the Good wood Cup winner to gallop faster than he did then. I have always had the highest opinion of Mr. Bowes's animal since 1 inspected him as a two year old, and if he does not yet make those parties who so persistently run him down look very foolish I shall be very much sur prised. Marksman, it appears, is not doing sufficient work to satisfy the touts, but it is a curious fact that in the face of this ho has been backed for immense sums of money by those persons who are likely to be better in formed on the subject. Lord Clifden and St. Albans were knocked about in the same manner, and so has Achieve ment this year, and in face of the market I will stand ACHIEVEMENT or MARKSMAN to win the St. Leger. The first day's racing includes the Old Three Year Old Stakes, the entries for which are a wretched lot, and the best I anticipate will be Mr. Merry's representative, pro bably MAYFLOWER. Although both Lord Stamford's re presentatives have incurred a 31b penalty for the Bramham Park Stakes, whichever his lordship chooses to start will win. Of the 54 nominations to the Convivial Stakes, TREGEAGLE'S form is decidedly the best, but he will find a dangerous opponent in the animal which does battle for the Lord of Ashton-under-Lyne, and IDALIA appears to me the most likely to be his lordship's selected champion. The Eleventh North of England Stakes, notwithstanding it has 62 subscribers, will produce a small field now that it is understood VAUBAN is to represent the Duke of Beaufort for this valuable stake, as there are only three or four, in the absence of the Derby winner, who can possibly make him gallop, and of these Taraban, Romping Girl, and Feeder are the most dangerous. Let 119 hope on this occasion Taraban will run straight, and in that case I shall fully expect to see him prove a very troublesome customor to the St. Leger crack. Romping Girl is also likely to run for the fielders, and as the penalty of 51b, which Vauban has to carry for winning the Two Thousand Guineas, will tell a tale over this distance of ground (two miles), my recommendation is to take the odds, which will doubtless be laid on him. In deed, if TARABAN is in the humour to try, I feel persuaded he will not only win this race, but bo a good favourite for the great event at Doncaster. The Yorkshire Oaks reads a really "good thing" for Romping Girl. Whichever Mr. Merry sends should win the Black Duck Stakes. BERTIE will win the Burgundy Stakes, and HERALD the Juvenile Stakes. I think the Chesterfield Handicap Plate will go to one of Joseph Dawson's Iot—FRIDAY, Knight Errant, or Miss Harriette, and I have a great fancy for the first named of the three. The Filly Sapling Stakes, run on Thursday, should be credited to Mr. Naylor by the aid of LADY HIGHTHORN. The Twelfth North of England Biennial Stakes will, I su ppose, bring out Europa, Lady Highthorn, and Vale Royal, who will be opposed by the dark Viscount and the colt by Orlando from Bouquet (Brother to Bombastes). It will take a "clinker" to beat EUROPA, but being under a strong impression that the two last named have a distin guished career before them, I shall not be surprised to see one of them successful, and if symmetry and good looks are passports to the winning post, that one should be VISCOUNT, who is about the best made two-yr-old in the country. The Ebor St. Leger will be won by TREMBLE, in the absence of Blinkhoolie, who, having paid for feit for so many engagements lately, will not be likely to run for this small stake. If BROTHER TO BOMBASTES should be Nought out for the Prince of Wales's Stakes, I should prefer his chance to that of Philosopher, or whichever Lord Stamford runs. HELVELLYN will have no difficulty in beating his two opponents in the Glasgow Stakes; and PHILOSOPHER has only TrmAuu to beat for the Rawcliffe Stakes. There .are 24 acceptances for the Great Ebor Handicap, not one of which, strange to say, represents the Whitewall stable, who furnished the winner in 1854, 1855, and 1856, with Grand Inquisitor, Vandal, and Warlock, in 1860 with Pa; and last year with Westwick, but tempora mutantur. John Day has four engaged, and if Seville, 3 yrs, with bet on his back, were to come to the post in her last year's form she could not be beat. Dalby Ido not fancy at any price. Beeswing is bound to beat Challenge from the Egham running, as Mr. Porter's horse only just won, and has to meet her here on 71b. worse terms, which will make all the difference ; in deed, her chance looks a very.flattering one on paper, pro vided, of course, Squire Heathcote is satisfied with the market price. Bradamante has been turned loose in those races she has won this year, and I think this journey will not be able to win with her weight in this company. Ack worth, Retrousse, Sealskin, and Lady Vane have no attrac tion for -me. Treasure Trove I consider is the most favourably weighted of the lot, and certain to run in the first three. The easy style in which he won the Metropo litan Stakes last year is a satisfactory proof of his laon unde niable staying powers, and his winning the Corporation Plate at Stockton on Friday shows- ho has none of the fine speed which he displayedin boatinglosat large field for the Lincoln Handicap. At an d third 1 o Stoc kt o n he gave two throe year olds, who ran se cond . him, 2st 71b and 2st 91b respectively, which d_!ducted from his weight now (7st 51b) would be putting th e m in at 4 st 121 b and 4st 101 b respectively. Challenge tisfrtoomo tuhnaht,eahlly_ in the betting for me to recommend; p ever, Ido not think ho can win. ThaePareer(ilsatmeoAremliakeedlya to run for The Cesarewitch.

THE EMPRESS CHARLOTTE.— kceording to the Memorial Diplomatique, the celebrates i Belgian physician, Dr. Bulkens, was called to Miramar to f ironounce an opinion upon the state of the Empress Charlotte. After careful study of the case Dr. Bulkens expressed his hope of a slow but certain cure if ho were allowed to a subject the illus trious patient to a system of treatment d ifferent from that hitherto adopted, and especially to discontinue the state of complete isolation in which the German physicians have kept her. " are glad to learn," adds the Memorial "from a letter addressed by Dr. flulkens 'to the Journal de Bruxelles, that since her Majesty's retu exi to Belgium, there has been a progressive improvement, In per health."

IMPERIAL PARLIAKENT HOUSE OF LORDS—Tins EVENING. The LORD OLIANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at Ave o'clock. • THE RITUAL COMMISSION. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said that it would be a great satisfaction to their lordships to know that the Ritualistic Commission had agreed upon their report. It was requested that the Royal Commission should com municate how far they had progressed from time to time. It was not for h im on the present occasion to say what constituted the report, but as soon as it had been signed by some absent members, it would be sub mitted and laid upon the table. CH URCH TEMPORALITIES ORDERS (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. The Railway Companies (Ireland) Bill was agreed to. THE CLERICAL VESTMENTS BILL. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said that it was almost impossible for him to move for the second reading of this bill until after the report had been given by the Royal Commission on Ritualism, so day after day he had put his motion on the paper unt il this ver y day, when it was now announced by the right rev. prelate that the report was now prepared and r ead y to be placed upon the table, but unfortunately this was at the end of the session. Ho was not there to censure the comae that had been t a ken, but he must mak e a few ronarks u2on the position the Church, unior these circumstances, now held. Hie lordship then dilated upon the dissatisfaction which pre t vailed with regard t o the ritualistic question throughou England. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said that the Royal Commission had had a most difficult subject to grapple with, and had discussed it to the best of their ability. The Bishop of LONDON regretted that the noble earl had not consented to be a member of the Royal Commis slog, and then he would have been sa tisfied of the care w hich had been ta ken in discussing the question. Tho Earl of SHAFTESBURY did not propose that the bill should be road a second time now, but would post pone it. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Trug EVENING. The SITAXER took the chair at 20 minutes to four o'clock. Mr. MONE gave notice that on Wednesday he would ask the Home Secretary whether he would make any statement as to the proceedings of the Ritual Commission; and also whether their first report was likely to be published. Mr. NEWDEGATE gave notice that, early next session, he would introduce a bill for the commutation of church rates. Lord ELCHO gave notice that on Wednesday he would ask the Home Secretary whether his attention had been called to the increase of tramps in the casual wards of the metropolitan workhouses, and whether he intended to in troduce any measure in the existing session with respect to the subject. HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENSION ACT. Mr. REARDEN moved for returns of the names of citi zens of the United States of America (if any) now in pri son in Ireland under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, stating the number under sentenc) of a court, and such as have not been brought to trial, the nature of the charges against each ; and of the names of the persons now in prison in Ireland under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, not citizens of the United States. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL for IRELAND said it oa of M arch, c M ir circular would be very inconvenient to grant the returns. The motion was therefore withdrawn. EAST INDIA MEDICAL SERVICE.
