MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the general money market there continues to be a fair inquiry for accommodation, and the rates current are fully 2/ per cent. 04 the Stock Ex change loans on Government Securities are readily obtainable at 2 to 21- per cent. At the Bank of England yesterday there was an influx of gold to the amount of £75,000. Messrs. J. S. Morgan and Co. have been autho rised to offer for subscription £1,109,700, of which £483,000 have already been subscribed by and will be allotted to applicants representing par ties in Chili, being the total amount now out standing of the Chilian Seven per Cent. Loan of 1866 for £1,120,920 originally subscribed in Chili. A preference of allotment will be given to the holders of the bonds or scrip of the Chilian Six per Cent. Government Loan issued by Messrs. J. S. Morgan and Co. in January last. The bonds will be in sums of £l,OOO, £5OO, and £lOO each, bearing interest at the rate of seven per cent. per annum, payable in London the Ist January and Ist July in each year, at the price of £92 per £lOO. The bonds are repayable in London at par, in about 21 years, by half-yearly drawings, com mencing October, 1867 ; but the Chilian Govern ment has (by contract under which the bonds were issued) reserved to itself the right of increasing from time to time the sum applicable for redemp tion, so that they may be redeemed at an earlier period. The subscription price of £92 (or £B9 55., if paid up in full on allotment) will be payable by instalments of £lO on allotment, and on the Ist of each month, from the Ist August, 1867, to the let April, 1868. Allottees have the option of paying in full on allotment at /89 55., or on either of the above dates, under discount, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. Applications will not be received after Wednesday, the 3d July, at 4 p.m. _ _ . The Cuba, from New York, has brought about £35,000 in specie. The share-list of the Rossa Grande Gold Mining Company (Limited) will close on the Bth July. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are steady at 31 33, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 24 25k. With reference to the legal proceedings instituted against the Panama, New Zealand, and Australian Royal Mail Company (Limited), by Lord Gilbert Kennedy for a return of the amount paid by him on his shares, and the action of the company against Lord Gilbert Kennedy to obtain payment of calls, the points involved in which were recently argued in the Court of Queen's Bench, a unanimous judg ment was yesterday delivered in favour of the company in both cases. The warrants for the interest for the six months ending the 30th inst. on the above company's de bentures will be payable on and after Monday the Ist of July at Messrs. Robarts, Lubbock, and Co's. The specie movement during the pastlweek has been of a rather extensive character. The imports, owing to large arrivals from New York, Australia, and the West Indies and Pacific, have amounted to £649,815, including £33,600 from New York by the Borussia, £36,000 by the Allemania, £35,000 by the Cuba, £182,670 by the City of Paris, and £28,257 by the Deutschland.

WILTON. . _ The plaintiff in this case is the widow of the late Mr. Tilbury, and is best known to the public as Miss Lydia Thompson, the popular actress, and the defendant is Miss Marie Wilton, lessee of the Prince of Wales Theatre. The action was brought to recover compensation in damages for a breach of contract, to which the defendant pleaded not in debted, aril that the plaintiff had cancelled the contract by not consenting to fulfil the terms of her engagement. Mr. iladllestone, Q.C., Mr. M. Williams, and Mr. Joyce were council for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sorgeant B.►llantine awl Mr. Cooke, Q.C., for the defendants. From the opening statement of counsel it ap peared that the plaintiff had accepted an engage ment to perform at the Prince of 'Wales's Theatre last September, until Christmas, and was to resume her engagement at Easter, her salary being £ls . a. week, Ic was also stipulated that she was to have a free benefit in London at the termi nation of the season, to accompany the defendants, and to have a free benefit in places where the de fendant's company performed for a month. She fulfilled her engagement up to Christmas, but some time before the period fixed for its re sumption she found that she was announced to appear in Oxenford's burlesque, " Magic Toys." She had played some years ago with great success, and introduced a ballet performance, called " The Shadow Dance," which she discontinued some years ago as requiring too much exertion. The defendant insisted in her playing the piece as she had origi nally done, and on her declining a correspondence took place between her And the female defendant. The engagement, the salary for which was to be £.15 a week, was cancelled by the latter. The engage ments at the other theatres were filled, and the con sequence was that she sustained a severe pecuniary loss by the sudden dismissal. The case is not likely to be concluded to-day. SECOND COURT. (Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Justice Byles and a Special Jury. CHERRY V. MAYNE. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for an alleged libel. Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Mr. Littler appeared for the plaintiff, and the Solicitor-General and Mr. F. M. White for the defendant. The plaintiff in the action was Mr. Cherry, the veterinary surgeon to the police force, and the defendant, Sir R. Mayne, is the well-known Com nlisioner of Police. The ground for the action was that the defendant, Sir R. Mayne, had written to the Home-office relative to the veterinary accounts, and that that letter contained reflections upon the plaintiff. It was urged by the defendant that the letter was a privileged one, and the learned judge said that in his' opinion it was so. 'After some evidence, Mr. James thought that as Sir R. Mayne had satisfied the plaintiff, he did not intend any aspersion upon the character of the plaintiff. He would submit to a nonsuit. A juror was then withdrawn. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Right lion. Sir J. P. Wilde.) LOFTUS V. LOFTUS. This was a petition on the part of Lord Henry Loftus for a restitution of conjugal rights, his wife having obtained from the court a judicial separa tion. It was part heard yesterday, when the case of the respondent was gone into, and cruelty and violence alleged as the grounds for a separation. This morn ing, it appears, that a compromise had been en tered into, and the case stands over till next term, in order that the conditions of this compromise m.sy be complied with, and if not a decision of the court will be given in the suit. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCII. THE REGENT'S-PARK FERJURY The case in which Hayes, the policeman, was the defendant, and who, it will be recollected, was found guilty on the indictment on which he was tried at the Old Bailey, was this morning called on, and struck out, there being no prosecutor in at tendance. POLICE INTELLIGEPTCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUG 11-STREET. DRUNKENNESS AND LOYALTY. —Caroline Villiers was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and disordeEy. Police-constable Tom Dixon, 226 C, said—l wa fetched to the Army and Navy Club, St. James square, about two o'clock this morning to remove the defendant, and on going there I found the defendant sitting on the steps and singing at the top of her voice, " God save the Queen." I re quested her to desist and to go away, but instead of doing so she commenced singing, " Rule, Britannia." Finding that she would not desist I removed her, and she went a little way quietly, but then began singing, shouting, and malting use of rather bad language. I was obliged to take her to the station. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Had she been drinking ? Constable—She had. Defendant—lt was " Coronation Day," your worship, and I am sure I did not think I was doing anything wrong. I get my living by ironing, and am very sorry for what I have done; but I can assure you that I did not think there was any harm in singing a song. Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the prisoner to be put back for a time and then to be discharged. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.--William A mos, a cow keeper in extensive business at Millwall, Poplar, who was once in custody on a charge of man slaughter, in running over and killing a child in Bow, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting and wounding Ellen Leary, who ap peared in court with her head bandaged. It appeared from the evidence of the complainant, and four other women, all employed at the metal works of Pentifex and Co., in the Isle of Dogs, that they were all returning home last evening at 7 o'clock, and stopped to speak to a man near the Nelson public-house, when the prisoner interfered with them, and made use of indecent language and gesticulations. The woman called him a nasty beast, and the complainant took up a handfull of gravel, which she threw at him. He then took up a brick, and, using a most repulsive expression, threw it at her head. It took effect, and she was stunned. A serious wound was inflicted, and the woman was removed to the house of a surgeon, who dressed the wound. She lost a good deal of blood, and was in a very weakly condition. The defence was that the woman abused the pri soner and used very coarse language towards him, and that the complainant took up a brick and threatened a young man. She then took up a lot of stones, one after another, and threw them at the prisoner. The stones were thrown by all the women, and one of them struck the complainant.. It was admitted that the prisoner also threw stones, but he and his witnesses denied that he threw a brick. After a two hours' investigation Mr. Paget ad journed the case, and directed that a surgeon should be sent for to examine the complainant's head. WESTMINSTER. THE POOR BOYS OF LONDON.—A. Rutter, 13 ' Edward Sullivan, 12, G. Hope, 10, Jas. Pender 11, and T. Joyce, 9, were charged with wandering abroad without any house or visible means of sub sistence. They were all very miserably clad, and evidently half starved. Police-constable Stevens said he was in Palace. street last night at . half-past 11, and near Arabella row met Rutter ; and, as he had seen him.the night before, asked him where he was going. He said, " Home." Wituess told hitn that was not the way home, and asked him where he had been all day. He said he had been getting about how he could, selling fusees, and he had some in his .pocket. Witness told him to turn his pockets out, and found half a box of fusees, a lot of cigar ends, two pipes, and threepence. Witness asked him where the others were that were him the night before, and he said over a boarding. Witness borrowed a con stable's lamp and found the other four in a waste piece of ground near Castle-lane, Westminster. They had foamed a temporary house of granite stones and old slates for a roof, with a hole a foot square to admit the air. Rutter treated the matter lightly, and was sent to the workhouse till Friday, as also Sullivan, whose father is a well-known beggar, and who seemed afraid to go home. His mother said he was a very bad boy. Hope's faller, a very creditable looking mechanic, said he wai a very bad boy, and never stayed at hoar 3; he woul I not go to school. Mr. SJfe said he would send him to Feltham till he was 16, and the father must contribute something towards his support. Pinder's father and mother live in Westminster, and he said he had run away from how. lie was sent to the workhouse till Friday. Joyce said he lived at Henley-road, Mussel-hill, and had been away from home two days and nights. He did not know the others. Ile was afraid to go home as his mother beat him. Mr. Selfe sent him to the workhouse till Tuesday. Although 17 prisoners were in custody there was no business begun till 11 o'clock, and, conseqUently, very little facility for reporting anything till a very late hour. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.-LAST EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat OR the woolsack at five o'clock. HEARING IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS. The Earl of CARNATty ON, according to notice, moved that a select committee be appointed ter consider what ar rangements might be made to remedy the present defective construction of the house in reference to hearing. He thought that the present state of the house with regard to hearing was most injurious to those who had a ne cessity to hear what occurred in the house. Some years ago (about 12) it was stated by a noble friend that it was impossible it could be remedied, but surely science had improved since then. They had around, above, and below them many largo spaces which might be employed in improving the acoustic arrangements of the house. In the House of Commons there was only a space between the benches of 10 inches, whereas iu this house there were 12 inches allowed ; yet in the House of Commons every wcrd could be heard, while that was an impossibility in their house. In fact, their house had been built merely to accommodate brilliant pageants and State ceremonials, and very little regard was given to its acoustic advantages. The House of Commons was a popular branch of the Legis lature, and, therefore, they would not endure the nuisance of the debates and speeches not being properly heard. But the House of Lords, on the other hand, did not seemto care about it at all. The point wouldbe in his (the noble earl's idea). to retain their noble house for state pageants and state ceremonials, and have somo well arranged room where all that occurred might be accurately heard. He was not going to suggest anything on this occasion, because he thought that a com mittee might better investigate into these points. He now moved for a select committee. The Earl of MA LMESBURY said that ho was not at all desirous of opposing tho select committee which was pro posed by the noble earl, although he had been al luded to as one who had stated that the acoustics of the house had some 10 or 12 years ago boon pro nounced as capable of improvement. He hoped, therefore, that their lordships would hesitate before they approved of his noble friend's motion. With regard to the size of the house, it was not too large when all the members were present. If they wished to be on the same terms as the House of Commons they had better exchange houses. It would be most inconvenient to sit in a smaller room. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that it was not only members of the press who were inconvenienced by the difficulty of hearing. Although those on the first bench on his side could be well hoard, yet those on the back benches could not hear at all. Lord CAIRNS said he knew, from experience, in ad dressing their lordships from the other side of the house, the difficulty there wsa in being hoard. Although, per haps, with regard to acoustic arrangement no alteration could be made, still it was most advisable for many reasons that the house should sit in a room where all could hear. The motion for the select COMMitteo was then agreed to. THE REVENUES OF THE CHURCH IN IRELAND. The Earl of BRADFORD announced that Inr Majesty had issued her assent to a Royal Commission to inquire into tho, properties and revenues of the Estahlished Chweh in Ireland. THE CASE OF MR. MORE WOOD. The Marquis of TOWNSIIIiND moved for a Select Committee to inquire into the statements contained in the petition of Mr. J. Morewood presented on the 3a May last. The Duke of MARLPOROUGII.said he did not wish to say one woad against the talent, and ability, and exertion of Mr. Morewood, but there wore 136 other gentlemen who had put forth schemes with regard to the drainage of London. The Marquis TOWNSHEND insisted upon pressing his motion to a division, when it was defeated by 12 to 8. The Court of Chancery (Ireland) Bill was, on the motion of the Lord Chancellor, read a second time. The Earl of MALMESBURY stated, in roply to Lord Wharncliffe, that tho Viceroy of Egypt had been officially invited to visit this country, and that he would be enter tained with the honour duo to his rank. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took tho chair at 2 o'clock. THE REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. The House having gone into committee on this bill, The AT TORNEY-GENERAL moved a clause providing that notice should be sent to every ratepayer occupying premises conferring the franchise, and that no rate should b 3 deemed payable until the expiration of seven clear days from the service of such requisition or note. Mr. MARSH objected to the clause on the ground that it would have the effect of giving the overseer power to dis franchise anybody ho liked. Mr. ROEBUCK also opposed the clause, but it was sup ported by several hon. members. After some discussion the clause was agreed to without a division. Lord J. BROWNE moved at the end of the clause to add "It shall be the duty of the overseer to make such demand within a month from the publication of the rate, and if he neglect to do so he shall be liable to a penalty of 20s. in each case." Mr. Sergeant GASELEE said this would make the bill one of pains and penalties. On the motion that the clause stand part of the bill, Lord CRANBORNE observed that thoso from whom the rates were not demanded would come upon the rates, and the clause therefore confotred enfranchisement without the payment of rates. The effect would there fore be to give a vote to the residuum who could not pay their rates. Mr. LOCKE thought the only course for the committee to pursue was to leave the voters to be enfranchised by this bill in the same position as the .£lO householders now stood; and if they negatived this clause that would be the result. (Hear, hear.) By so doing they would simply show the hon. member for Tiverton to bo a false prophet, because ho had in a previous clause iuserted the words " as hereinafter mentioned." Well, suppose they did not mention anything at all. (Laughter.) No harm would be done, and the unnecessary words would be struck out on bringing up the report. Mr. ROEBUCK made an appeal to the Government not to proceed with the clause,which put into the hands of un educated men a tremendous power. (Hear, hear.) They were taking a dangerous step, which would ruin the coun try by letting in the rabble of the people. Mr. DENMAN little expected to bo told that this was a clause which would ruin the constitution. lie must express his surprise at the member for Southwark, who was a lawyer, and ought to have seen that he was taking a most narrow and disfranchising view. I n man y b orou ghs, no doubt, the overseers were political partisans, but one party would not suffer more than the other. Besides, no more would be given them than they already possessed, because the overseer was liable to account to the parish for the due payment of the rates. The Attorney-General had done his duty in bringing up this clause, which was fairly and honestly drawn, and if the Government did not support it they would be deceiving him and many other members. (Oh, oh !) Mr. G. HARDY remarked that the clause was brought up at the suggestion of the hon.• member for Tiverton, but for himself ho should prefer the pr sent ese system of giving notice of the rate, viz., by public notice on the church doors. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the posi tion of the Government with reference to this clause had been entirely mistaken. On the occasion when the hon. member for Tiverton brought forward his suggestion there was no doubt a majority of the hOuse in its favour, but the Govarnment were opposed to it.. Tinier the cir cumstances, however, the Attorney-General undertook to draw up a clause which put the hon. member in the posi tion he would have occupied if a division had boon taken that night. But the opinion of the committee was now, ho believed, very different. The Government.. however, had fulfilled their duty. Mr. GLADSTONE observed that he understood from the remarks of the right hon. gentleman that he would not sup port the clause on the motion being put fron the Chair. , (No, no.) -Ile understood that from the language which had been used, and which involved the conduct of the Govern meat towards private members. He objected to the Go vernment accepting a proposal of LaXprivate member, and then for the Chancellor of the Exchequer—at least the Homo Secretary—to rise and state that he viewed the acceptance or non-acceptance of the clause with perfect in difference. He would not take the decision of the com mittee as referring to the words inserted in the 3rd clause at a critical period of the bill, and if the clause were thrown out he must accept it as a re-opening of the whole ques tion of payment of rates, and the whole battle of the bill would have to be fought over again. After some observations from Mr. D. GRIFFITH, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said ho felt bound tosup port the hon. member fur Tiverton only so far as he would have done if his. original amendment had been carried to a division. He should accordingly support the clause on the prescnt occasion, but felt himself at perfect liberty to vote for its omission on the bringing up of the report. Mr. DENMAN sail he had been guided in his conduct towards the bill by the belief that the principle of his amendment had been accepted, but it was not for hint to say how or in what manner the Attorney-General should rate. After some further discussion the committoo divided, when tho numbers were For the clause • 205 Against 207 Majority ---2 The clause was accordingly negatived. Mr. GL.A.DSTGNE moved that progress be reported, and accused the Government of having violated its pro mise to the hon. member for Tiverton. Aftor some further discussion, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER promised under the circumstances to bring in a new clause. The house adjourned at seven o'clock. On reassembling at nine o'clock, On the motion for going in committee of supply, Mr. C. FORTESCUE moved "That this house consi ders it essential to the satisfactory settlement of the ques tion of Parliamentary Reform that there should be an amendment of the law relating to the representation of the people in Ireland as well as in the other portions of the United Kingdom ; and considers it desirable that, in ac cordance with the promise of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, the Government should introduce their bill upon that subject during the present session." The right hon. gentleman urged that there was nothing in the condition of Ireland, mild justify the abandonment of the Reform Bill sine die, and that the policy of the Government in ig noring her legitimate claim to be put upon the same footing with Scotland would cause wide-spread dissatisfaction and disappointment. The motion was seconded by Colonel FRENCH, and opposed by Mr. CoxoLLY, who, whilst expressing his wil lingness to support an extension of the franchise in Ire land, contended that the state of that country at this moment afforded sufficient reason for not opening up the question of Parliamentary Reform. The O'DONOGHUE attributed the delay of the Govern ment in bringing in a bill to the influence exorcised over them by the Tory members from Ireland, and the discon tent which prevailed there to the conviction in the Irish mind that it was useless to expect justice from the Imperial Parliament. Mr. PEEL-DAWSON opposed, and Mr. CoGAN spoke in support of the motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER denied that the elections for Waterford and Tipperary last autumn, or the influence of the Conservative members from Ireland, had induced the Government to delay the Reform Bill for that country. The Government would have been glad to have put Ireland and Scotland upon a footing of perfect equality, but, although the Cabinet was unanimous in its desire to do so, there were circumstances of difficulty and complexity in the condition of Ireland which precluded the idea of legislation in the direction of popular represen tation. Ho promised, however, that if the Government was in office next year ono of its first and most agreeable duties would be to bring in an Irish Reform Bill. Mr. GLADSTONE, while declaring that in his opinion the Government was to blame for nut laying the Irish Bill upon the table, expressed a hope that, after the promise given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the motion would not be pressed to a division. After a few words from Sir F. HETOATE, the motion was withdrawn. Captain VIVIAN called attention to a circular lately issued from the War Department defining the duties of volunteers in cases of riot ; and moved " That the volun teer force was established solely for the purpose of security against foreign invasion, and that the members of that force, in cases of domestic tumult or disturbance, have no obligations or duties distinct from those c.f other citizens, and aro in such cases no more than any other citizen liable to orders or instructions from tho military or civil authorities." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL explained that the cir cular in question merely amounted to this, that volunteers were not exempt from the obligation which attached to all her Majesty's, subjects to quell civa disturbaunes if called upon to do so, but that under no cimunstances should they -be required to act in their 'llia:try character. Mr. W. E. FORSTER thought the whole question de pended upon what the volunteers were to do with their arms. lie hoped- the circular would be withirawn, and that some clear and prec:se instructions would 133 substi tuted for it which volunteer officers could understand. After some observations from Col. NORTH, Sir J. PAKINGTON said the circular of the War-office clearly defined what were the duties of volunteers, and the Government would have been to blame if they had failed to issue an instruction as to the duties devolving on volun teers and of all other citizens in extreme cases of riot or insurrection. Mr. T. HUGHES suggested that certain of the orders should bo withdrawn, in order that there might be a return to tho'state of the law as it previously existed. Some remarks followed from Lord Eleho, Gem Peel, the Solicitor-General, and Sir G. Grey. Mr. AYRTON suggested the omission from the motion of the concluding words, that set fcrth that in case of domestic tumult or disturbance volunteers no more than any other citizens are liable to orders from the military or civil authorities. Sir J. PAIUNGTON having promised to take the subject into consideration, with a view to modify the instructions, Mr. VIVIAN accepted the suggestion of Mr. Ayrton, and the motion, as amended, was agreed to. The Local Government Supplemental Bill was read a second time. The other business was disposed of, and the house ad journed at five minutes to two. Naval and Military Intelligence. The anniversary of her Majesty's coronation was observed at all the ports and garrisons yesterday, in the customary manner. Yesterday an order was received from the Ad miralty by Colonel G. Lambrick, Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, commanding the Chatham division of Royal Marines Light Infantry, directing a battalion of the light infantry companies, numbering about GOO officers and men, to be held in readiness to pro ceed to London on the sth proximo, to take part in the review to be held by her Majesty in Hyde-park. The battalion is ordered to consist of three lieut.- colonels, eight captains, 18 subalterns, three staff officers, 39 sergeants, and 520 rank and file, with the divisional band and colours. According to the existing arrangements on the part of the authori ties, it is intended to form a brigade, between 2,000 and 3,000 strong, of the Royal Engineers from Chatham, the Royal Marine Artillery from Ports mouth, and two battalions of Royal Marine Light Infantry from Chatham and Woolwich. The bands belonging to each of the four battalions will be formed in ono for the occasion, and in accordance with an order to that effect received at Chatham the bands . of the Royal Engineers and of the Royal Marines will proceed to Woolwich, on Tuesday next, for the purpose of practising together with the other bands from Portsmouth and Woolwich. IJer Majesty'sship Revenge, from Pembroke dock, will take part in the review at Spithead on the 17th July. Her complement of men will be about 600. Preparations have already been made at Pembroke dockyard for dismantling her Majesty's ship Saturn, her lower masts having been taken out, and she will shortly be taken into one of the docks to be broken up. The annual dinner of the 101st Royal Bengal Fusiliers took place at the Pall-mall Restaurant on Monday last, the 24th inst. The following officers of the regiment or formerly belonging to it were present :—Cols. Bennett, Sir Herbert B. Edwards, K.C.8., Sainsbury, C.B. ; Capts. Daniell and Warner, Licuts.

THE CHOLERA IN PARIS.—We learn from Paris that a few cases of cholera have again made their appear ance in this city, but as yet there is no epidemic, in spite of the great number of strangers. It may also be noticed that the town is not quite so full as might be supposed, for if strangers are abundant, all the indigenous Parisians who can escape to the country have done k 0 already.—Nedical Times and Gazette. The Oxford Commemoration. OXFORD, Friday. The " Shooting Stara" gave a supplementary per formance at the Victoria Theatre last evening, which, like its predecessors, proved a great success. The members of Exeter College afterwards held their annual ball, at the Corn Exchange, M. Jul lien again having the honour of conducting the musical department. The attendance was large, and the festive gathering passed off with the greatest éclat. With this event the pleasures of the Com memoration may be said to have ceased, the prose cution or " persecution" of the " Shooting Stars" having taken place before the Oxford city magis trates this morning. There was a full attendance on the bench, the mayor, Mr. Shiers, presiding. The information w?s laid by Albert E. Jones, who described himself as professor of elocation and pro fessional actor, residing at Alma-place, Cowley road, Oxford. There were in all 13 summonses, the defendants being Henry Groom, lessee of the theatre, and the following gentlemen of the University (members of the company known as the " Shooting Stars"), who took part in the classical burlesque of "Ariadne" :—Messrs. A. G. Bagnold (Minos), W. E. Goschen (Theseus), F. M. Alleyne (Mentor), E. H. Selfe (Phaedra), M. L. Cumming (Ariadne), W. A. Heygate and W. G. Guillemard (Pages), 11. J. Hood (Apollo), G. Gumbleton (Bacchus), W. R. Barnes (Aurora), T. Holme (Flora), and W. R. Anson, (Discordia). The " informer" conducted his own case. Mr. G. lam appeared for Mr. Groom, and Mr. Hawkins (one of the university solicitors) for the " Shooting Stars." The court was densely crowded, several of the talented stars also being present. The charge agOnst the lessee of the theatre was that he kept a certain place of public resort, situated in the parish of St. Mary, Magdalen, Oxford, for the pub lic performance of stage plays, on the 22d of June, to wit, the Victo4, Concert Room, without autho rity in that behalf from her Majesty's Justices of the peace for the said city, as required by the sta tute, and that be did continue to keep the same place open for one day after, to wit, on the 24th day of June, &c. The precise charge against the " stars " was that they did for hire act and present there a certain part in a certain stage play, to wit, " Ariadne," in a certain place, to wit, the Victoria Concert Room, the said place not being a patent theatre or duly licensed theatre under the statute, &c. Mr. Jones said he appeared there for the benefit of the members of the theatri cal profession, to support the information laid by him on Tuesday last against Henry Groom, lessee of the Victoria Concert Room, and a company of theatricals known as the " Shooting Sturs," for performing without a license. He paid 2s. 6d. at the doors of the theatre on Monday evening, and a check was given him for the money he paid, which he delivered to a city constable in uniform. It was a stage play, with all the adjuncts of scenery, &c. Mr. Mallam, who admitted the facts complained of and the lesseeship, submitted the prosecutor to a desultory cross-examination, and made an able and eloquent speech in favour of Mr. Groom, whose case was. heard first. He relied solely on the 23d sec tion of the Act . of Parliament 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 48, which enacts that the words " stage play" shall be taken to include every tragedy, comedy, farce, opera, burletta, interlude, melodrama, pantomime, or other entertainment of the stage or any part thereof ; provided always that nothing herein con tained shall be construed to apply to any theatrical representation in any booth or show which by the justices of the peace, or other persons having authority in that behalf, shall be allowed in any lawful fair, feast, or customary meeting of the like kind. Mr. Mallam endeavoured to show that the performances of the amateur theatricals during the Commemoration we, k, and which had been allowed to go on from year to year walnut interference, were a part and parcel of the Oxford Commemoration, and therefore came within the category of " lawful fairs, feasts, or cus tomary tweeting of the like kind," and took the case out of the act, and on that ground he urged he was entitled, according to the reasonable, fair, and genuine meaning of the clause, to ask the magis trates to dismiss the summons. The clerk to the magistrates (Mr. Jacob) h roving given it as his opinion that the Commemoration was not a " f air ," nor "of a like kind," and stated that the Victoria Concert Room was rated for the relief of the poor, the magistrates retired to the Council Chamber, and having sent for the parties concerned the public were shortly afterwards admitted. The Mayor said the magistrates had well considered the case, and as it was understood that the present information should include the three days not included, they had determined on fining Mr. Groom ten shillings for each day, and as the young men did not inten tionally break the law, they would be fined ten shillings each person. The decision ,was received with loud applause. The Mediterranean. MALTA, June 23. Her Majesty's screw steam transport Tamar, 6, Captain W. Sullivan, C. 8., arrived in Malta, yes terday morning from Portsmouth and Queenstown, having on board her Majesty's 31st Regiment of Foot under the command of Colonel R. J. Eager, which is to relieve . the 29th Foot. The 31st landed yesterday afternoon, and the 29th will probably embark on board the Tamar about the 28th inst. for Canada. The other screw steam transport Simoom, 6, Cap tain Lethbridge, is expected in Malta about the end of the present month from Gibraltar, where she was to laud the Ist battalion of 13th Foot which she had embarked at Qieenstown. On arrival in Malta the Tamar will embark the 3d brigade of the Royal Artillery, under the command of Colonel G. R. H. Kennedy, which is to relieve the other batteries now serving in Canada, Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. The screw steam gunboat Tyrian, Lieutenant Commander the Hon. V. Montagu, arrived at Malta on Thursday last from Candia, having been relieved at that port by the gunboat Wizard, 2. The Eng lish yacht Marcia, Captain R.B. Sheridan, M.P. (owner) also arrived from Candia a few days ago, and left again on Thursday for Marseilles. These vessels do not report any progress on the part of Omar Paella in his efforts to quell the insurrection ; and it appears it is not at all probable that the best endeavours of fir pacha will be crowned with the desired success. ' The insurgents still continued to receive supplies and ammunition from Syra, by the Greek steamer Arcadion. The ironclad frigate Royal Oak, 35, Captain the Hon. G. D. Keane, has received orders from Eng land by telegraph to return home, to be paid off. On Thursday last, the 20th inst., royal salutes were fired from all the batteries and the men of war in port, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the accession of her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria.

The Duke and Duchess d'Aosta visited the Palace and Parks of Versailles on Wednesday. Prince Humbert went there yesterday, and extended his excarsien as far as the Military School of St. Cyr. TERRIBLE FIRE IN TIIE OLD KENT-ROAD.--The inhabitants of the Old Kent-road and adjoining thorough fares will not easily forget the scenes of confusion that existed throughout last night and this morning, arising out of the great fire that occurred shortly before midnight. At noon to-day the fire had only been safely extinguished, and, although most of Shand, Mason, and Co.'s hind steamers had been " knocked off," it was found necessary to have a continuous supply of water to pass through Beck and Cod's patent hydrants up= the smouldering debris, in case.of a fresh outbreak. The damage done by the disaster has proved to be far more serious than was at first antici pated ; and how it was that so many largo buildings in the Old Kent-road were not entirely destroyed, may be attri butable principally to the indomitable perseverance of the firemen, and the vast streams of water thrown upon the flames by the steam land engines. The flames, however, literally speaking, have laid in ruins buildings which covered nearly half au acre of land. HER MAJESTY'S BOUNTY'.—This timely relief was yesferday handed to Mrs. Emma Roberts, of Bryan street, Hanley, who has recently given birth to three children.

The steamship Guatemala, from San Jose de Guatemala and intermediate ports, arrived at Panama on the 30th ult. The Star and Herald of the Ist inst., from which the subjoined is extracted, reports that the five republics are all at peace : " GUATEMALA.—The heavy rains which com menced in the latter part of April in the Nopal districts in this republic continued through the first two weeks in May, and have destroyed almost one half the cochineal crop. In April the Nopals promised a fine yield, and it was generally estimated the crop would amount to from 8,000 to 10,000 serons; but owing to the damage caused by the heavy rains, it is now believed the product will not amount to over 5,000 serons. The neigh bourhoods of Antigua, Aniatitlan, and Villa Nueva have suffered most. A terrible hailstorm was experienced at Antigu wh:ch cut, up tho road so that carriages could not pass for several days. Not withstanding the inferior quality of the crop, the price at the departure of the steamer ranged from $lO5 to $llO per seron. The heavy rains had also extended to the coast, but without any evil result, further than some little inconvenience to travellers. The large amount of cargo which has been accumu lating in San Jose on account of the impossibility, for some time past, of embarking it through the heavy surf, has been greatly reduced by the present trip of the Guatemala. The weather being favour able on the arrival of the steamer at that port, she was delayed beyond her usual time, and succeeded in receiving on hoard some 3,200 packages—a little more than half the amount then ready for shipment. - _ " SALVADOR.—This Republic appears to be pro gressing favourably under its present rulers.
