DIONETXARKET A ND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE o'CLocx. The Money Market is very fair at previous quo Cations. A withdrawal of £60,000 in gold took place at the Bank of England yesterday. The Mississippi from New York has arrived with specie to the amount of about £40,400, and the Borussia with £15,000. The following alterations are exhibited in the retur n of the Bank of France, when compared with that of last week :—Au increase has taken place in the cash in hand of £405,000, in the advances £28,000, and in the private accounts £BOB,OOO, while there has been a decrease of £700,000 in the bills discounted, £580,000 in the Treasury balance, and £ 2 60,000 in the notes. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 32 34, and the Consolidated Mort gage Bends at 21 22. We have seen private letters from Paraguay, of very recent date, stating that the army of Marshal Lopez was well provided with every n ecessary, and able to carry on the war for a ll length of time, and that the supplies ee naing from B o li v i a v i a C orum b a were a b an d one d. That the commercial treaty lately made between Bolivia and Paraguay, allowing the former to im- P ar t almost e ver y ar ti c l e f ree o f d u ty, h a d stimu lated a great many merchants to profit by this wise Measure of the Paraguayan Government. It is also reported that the celebrated guerilla Chief General Saa, who had left Europe in January last, from St. Nazaire, to proceed, via Panama and C aPiape, to join and head the rebellion of the in terior provinces of the Argentine Confederation, has arrived at his place of destination. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has not been much animation. At the public sales of tea, however, Prices have ruled a shade higher, while sugar has been in moderate demand, at fully late rates. Coffee continues in fair request at steady prices, while rice, owing to the continued limited supply on offer, fully maintains former values. Tallow has been dull, and for forward delivery may be quoted a shade cheaper. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the Bth of May gives the following results when compared with the previous week :-- Rest ... £3,133,502 ...

BOW-STREET. Israel Jacobs, the son of a wholesale fruit sales man in Great Russell-street, Covent-garden, again appeared to answer the charge made against him by Colonel Wood. The defendant, it appeared, on Saturday evening last was driving a trap along the Mall at a very rapid rate, and, unfortunately, as Colonel Wood was crossing the road in company with a friend he was knocked clown by thehorse and the wheel passed over his arm. Mr. Vaughan said it was a very serious case, and that he should send it for trial by a jury ; but Colonel Wood this morning interposed, and said that as the defendant had expressed his deep regret at what had occurred, and had consented to give £5O to the Cambridge Asylum, established for re lieving the orphans of soldiers who fell in battle, he, as far as he was personally concerned, would with draw from the prosecution. Mr. Vaughan said it was a very serious case, and he ought to be sent for trial by a jury; but, as he was informed the defendant had exprcs4ed sorrow for causing the accident, and, as he was a very young man, he should not adopt that course. He had to thank Colonel Wood for withdrawing from the case, and he hoped it would be a warning to him for life, because it was through no care on his part that human life was not sacrificed. He was informed that he intended to contribute £5O to a very meritorious institution as public compensation, and therefore he should only inflict upon him the fine of 40s. for furious driving. The fine was paid. The father of defendant drew ont a cheque for £5O, and the defendant was dis charged. THAMES. RIOTIOUS SCENE IN THE EAST INDIA DOCK.— Dennis Conolly and Timothy Purcell, touters, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with forcing their way on board ship in the East India Dock before she was safely moored. Yesterday afternoon the ship Swiftsure, from Mel bourne, was being hauled into the East India Dock when a great number of Jews, outfitters, crimps, boarding-house keepers, touters, and others at tempted to board her to solicit custom of the sailors, carry the passengers luggage on shore, and for other purposes. Mr. De Brock, the chief mate of the ship, warned them off, and after a scene of commo tion and violence the prisoners, who refused to leare the ship, were given into custody. The defence of the prisoners was that they were called on board and were looking out for a job. Conolly said he was dragged into the cabin and beaten by the chief mate, and Purcell said an at tempt was made to drown him. Mr. De Brock said he took the prisoner Conolly into the caddy to secure him, but he did not strike him. Several witnesses deposed to the violence and disorderly conduct of the mob in the East India Dock while the Swiftsure was coming in. Mr. Charles Douglas, the assistant chief con stable of the East and West Inclia Docks, said no more force was used than was necessary to eject the people from the ship, and prevent others from boarding her. There was quite a riot at the dock in endeavouring to take possession of the ship stones were thrown, and the clamour was dreadful. Those scenes had been of frequent occurrence when ships were coming into dock. Mr. Paget said it was very important when ships were coming into dock that order should be preserved. Danger and inconvenience were caused by the practice of boarding ships by hosts of per sons when they were coming into dock, and to prevent robberies, confusion, and danger, the act of Parliament he was about to put in force was passed. If people had jobs to execute for seamen and pas sengers they must execute them at the proper time and place. He had the power to inflict a fine of £2O, and if these cases became frequent he should continue to increase the fines and the imprisonments until he reached the maximum. He fined Conolly 205., and, in default of payment, seven days' impri sonment, with hard labour. With respect to the other man (Purcell), who3e conduct was very im proper, and who had no right on board when ordered away by the mate, it appeared he was hangi n ., on by the railing of the ship, and a con' stable named Charles Freelong endeavoured to loosen the prisoner's hands, and to compel him to let go. If the constable had suc ceeded the man would necessarily have fallen into the dock, and he would have been drowned. The same constable had also attempted to take off the prisoner's hat. The dock constable was armed with the authority of the law, and he ought not to have acted as he had done. The conduct of Freelong was very reprehensible, and he had exceeded his duty. It was fortunate the constable had not suc ceeded iu his attempt to drown the man, and he hoped he would not repeat such highly blameable - conduct. The conduct of the chief mate, Mr. De Brock, was very right. He should discharge Pur cell, and if he attempted to board ship again at an improper time he was to be brought before him or any other magistrate for punishment, but his life was not to be put in jeopardy.

ROBBERY WITII VIOLENCE. Three men, named Casey, Coyle, and Archibald, were indicted for robbing, on the Queen's, high way, with violence, a labouring man named Morris. The prisoners pleaded Not Guilty. The prosecutor said, on the 14th April, he was pas=sing along Toadll-street, near the IVestminster Hotel, when he wai surrounded by four men. The one that was behind put his arm round his (prose cutor's) neck, and so tightly held him that he was helpless. The other men thrust their hands into his pockets, and took all the money he had, and then ran away. He called for assistance as soon as he was able, but the men had got away before help arrived. He was quite certain that the prisoners were three of the four by whom he was robbed. He had picked them out at the station house from amongst a great many other persons. The prosecutor's evidence having been confirmed by the police, The jury found all the prisoners guilty. The Common Sergeant sentenced Coyle to 18 months' and Casey a.nd4t.rchibald each to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. This terminated the business of the session. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

IMPERIAL PAR LIADIENT HOUSE OF LORDS--THIS EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Barnsley Railway, the Manchester Water, the Mould Gas, and the Speedy Water Bills wore read a second time. TIDE TORNADO. The Marquis of CLASTitioniCasked whether au answer had been received from the Spanish Government relative to the Tornado ? Lord DERBY stated that an answer had been received, dated "Madrid, May '2," and it had been referred for con sideration to the law officers of the Clown. THE FEN lAN CONSPIRACY. The Marquis of GLANIUCAIiiSE - asked whether the Government had taken any steps to obtain correct reports of evidence given upon the trials for treason and partici • pation in the Fenian conspiracy, in order that they may be at the proper time communicated to Parliament. He had a resolution in his hand from the Reform League, which had been passed at one of their meetings, that the lives of the unfortunate men now under sentence of death should be spared. On this point he (the noble marquis) would say nothing, but ask for the information he sought from the Government, such information, he believed, being most desirable...,..__ The Earl of DERBY said that ho never heard a subject handled with such latitude as that of the noble marquis, and considered such a resolution as that just read as very ill-timed. Ile should confine himself to what was asked by the noble marquis in his three points. lie considered that all three would be injurious •if carried. With the last point he thought that if complied with it would embroil this country with foreign nations, but with regard to a correct record of the whole proceedings, that would be laid before the house. After a few remarks from Lord CLANRICARDE the subject dropped. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. ENLISTMENT IN THE ARMY. Sir J. PAKINGTON said in consequence of the repre sentations of the noble lord the member for North Lanca shire, it was not his intention to bring forward the vote for £500,000 for increase of pay to the army and militia. It was, however, or the greatest importance that no unnecessary delay should take place in submitting the vote to the house. It was his intention on Monday to ask for leave to introduce a bill to limit the time of enlistment iu the army, also b consolidate the law for establishing a reserve force, and also for the forming of a reserve in the militia to join the regular army in case of war. Colonel NORTH said it was of importance that the Army Estimates should be proceeded with as soon as pos sible, as recruiting in the army was nearly at a standstill. Sir J. I'AKINGTON said he had given notice of his iutektion to move for leave to introduce the bills on Mon day. They would doubtless be in the hands of members on Tuesday. He hoped to be enabled to move. 'THE ROYAL PARKS BILL. Mr. NEATE gave notice that on the second reading of the bill for the regulation of the royal parks, he should move that it was not expedient to proceed with the subject, limiting it to meetings in the royal parks in the metropolis. HACKNEY CABS IN THE PARKS. Mr. O'BEIRNE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, as the public had been per mitted to drive into Ilyde Park in cabs and other public vehicles plying fur hire, he sees any objection to permitting members ut Parliament, when proceeding to the discharge of their public duties, to drive over Constitution Hill to the House of Commons? _ . _ Mr. WA LCOLE said the question involved two state ments. The fact was that no permission had been given to public cabs to enter Hyde-park and ply fur hire. The regulations remained unaltered on the subject. If the hon. member founded his question on the fact of the two cabs that drove into the park on konday last, he had to state that they carried messengers to Sir Richard Mayne, Commissioner of Police. That being so he did nut see any ground for making any alteration in the regulations at present existing. Sir. O'BEIRNE gave notice that he should call the at tention of the House to the subject when the Civii Service estimates were under discussion. THE ROYAL PARK BILL. Mr. BRIGHT said he did not know whether he was right in putting the question to the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Walpole)—perhaps he would explain his position to the house—but he should like to know when this bill was to be proceeded with. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said ample notice would be given when the measure was to be pro ceeded with. FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES BILLS. n reply to Lord EUSTACE C;BCIL, Mr. WALPOLE said the bill was in active preparation, and it would be brought forward without delay. COMMUNICATION WITH INDIA. In reply to Mr. CRAWFORD, Mr. HUNT raid it was quite a spontaneous act of the Peninsular and Oriental Company in run ning the extra steatiner between Suez and Bom bay, • and as they kid SS o ueticea of the discontinuance of that service after the 26th of May, the communication with India would be carried on as for merly. NATIONAL DEBT BILL. In reply to Mr. B. SHERIDAN, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not possible to proceed with the bill on Monday next, as on that day he proposed introducing the Scotch Reform Bill. After that he thought it would be convenient to go into committee and proceed with the consideration of the English bill. (Hoar, hear.) It was very important that the National Debt Bill should be proceeded with as soon as possible, and he hoped to be able to go on with it on Thursday next. Five ran. SALISBURY RACES—Tats DAY.

The Accident at Newcastle Quay. Mr. Hoyle, the borough coroner, has opened an inquest at the dead-house, Newcastle-on-Tyne, on the bodies of Andrew Routledge and William Tur bitt, the former 9 and the latter 12 years of age, and Margaret Jane Armstrong, 14 months old, the young persons drowned by the breaking of the gangway at the Tyne Ferry's landing at Newcastle quay on Monday night. Extremely exaggerated reports have appeared in-the London papers as to the number of persons drowned on that occasion. Some papers stated 50 persons were supposed to have lost their lives ; but after the lapse of three days and dragging the river opposite Newcastle quay, with careful inquiries in all directions after missing persons, it has been ascertained that the statement first made in The Sun was the correct one, and that the number of persons drowned will not exceed six. A young woman, a domestic ser vant, is missing from lleworth-lane, and there seems little doubt that she was drowned by the breaking of the bridge, and though only thiee bodies have been recovered from the river, it is stated that a boat's crew brought the body of a worl:ing man to the surface of the water on Wednesday afternoon. The bridge itself has disappeared in some mysterious manner, and though it has been searched for in all directions it c innot be found. About 100 persons, it is computed, were on it when it broke, but not half that number - fell into the river. Mr. Burroughs, surveyor to the Board of Trade, was present at the inquest on Wednesday evening, but, to give more time for inquiries, it was adjourned until next week, COUN TitY MARK 13.

GLADSTONE.—We are in formed that the deputation from the National Reform Union will wait upon Mr. Gladstone to-morrow afternoon at three o'clock. The members of the deputation will assemble at the Westminster Palace Hotel at 2 o'clock, and proceed thence to Mr. Gladstone's residence at Carl ton-house-terrace. Mr. Cocks, of New Burlington-street, seems in defatigable in his publication of new music. Amongst his latest productions we have a very brilliant transposition of the favourite Welsh ballad, " The Maid of Llangollen," by Brindley Richards, which doubtless will become a universal favourite, because, although abounding in telling and melodious passages, all digital difficulties are carefully avoided, by which weans a player of ordinary ability is enabled to perform the piece with the greatest facility. The Barbara Valse, by F. Godfrey, is pretty, and deserving a place in the Can terbury of every lady of taste. Amongst the new ballads there is one by Dr. C. Mackay, entitled " The Quiet Little Man," which cannot be sung without producing a feeling of pleasure, both to the performer and the listener. It is set in the key of G, and the accompaniment, by Mr. Russell, is vary effective. "The Beauty of the Mind," the words by Mr. C. Russell, and the "Song of the Bee," the words by 7. Streaks, the music of both. being the composition of Mr. W. T. Wrighton, aro both very melodious, and being within the range of a soprano voice of moderate compass they doubtless will become the general favourites they deserve to be.

AMMUNITION FOR SNIDER'S • RIFLE.—A War office return shows that up to the Ist of March 12,439,593 service cartridges (Boxer) for Snider rifles, had been manu factured at the •Royal Laboratory, and 204,710 proof car tridges ; en-Micro bail been stipp!ied by contract 3,019,525 empty cartridge cases, and 5,045,000 shells for percussion caps. The cost of the 12,439,598 cartridges was .C 49,570, but this is no criterion of the present cost. At the•com mencement of the manufacture there wits a want of suitable machinery, and also a want of skill, and night. work was adopted, and the price at first charged for metalellas been reduced about 2.5 per cent. The east, therefore; is LOW much lessened. None of this ammunition has bedOu con demned or broken up, but about 1,400,000 rounds of,,hall have been converted into blank, owing to a change in the pattern of the case.

Since the reign of George 11. a great deal of kgi.slation had taken place on the subject. Thu s hill was read a second time. RELIGIOUS SITES BILL. The report of the ainendmeuts to this bill was brought bcfor the house, and the bill passed. THE DEMONSTRATION IN HYDE PARK. Earl COWPER, wished to inquire into the late proceed ings in Hyde-park, and to move that papers relative to the orders given as to the closing of the park and the instructions given to the police be laid on the table. He reprobated severely the conduct of a Government k-eep ing in office on suffarance, and carrying out a measure of reform without consulting the interests and wishes of the people. It was not the'wish of any one on his side of the house to disturb the present Government, but he did consider it was his duty to request a furencr amount of information on the matter, and the best course to pursue, in his opinion, was to give a plain history of the facts from the commencement. The noble earl then re ferred to the original opinion given by the law officers of the Crown on the closing of the Park, and the still later proceedings. He would ask were there no other lawyers as able as the legal gentlemen who advised the Crown ? When a vast amount of expression of opinion on the part of the people had taken place on the subject, still it was only on Sunday afternoon that the meeting was permitted to take place on Monday. The Government had filled the neighbourhood with the military and police, and then had given way, inflicting a great blow on the constitutional authority and bringing it into contempt. He could not too highly praise the conduct of the people on Monday. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of DERBY—Although the noble earl who has just sat down has moved for the production of papers, I apprehend that it is not his object to press that motion. The first of the documents to which he refers has been already published, and with respect to the instructions given to the police it is not usual to produce such papers, and their production now would establish a very inconve nient precedent. I apprehend that the noble earl only meant to use the motion for those documents as a means of enabling him to express his opinion with respect to the course adopted by her Majesty's Government on the subject of the late meeting, and so far am I from complaining of the course taken by the noble earl that I am inclined to offer him my thanks for having afforded us an opportunity of fully discussing the matter in this house, where I am sure your lordships will come to its consideration calmly, tem perately, and impartially. I desire nothing more than to have an opportunity of laying before your lordships all the circumstances under which the Government acted, and thereupon, if your lordships should think fit, to invite an expression of your opinion upon it. But before I say a word with respect to the Government I must take the earliest opportunity of saying something in vindication of a right hon. friend of mine who has been subject to the greatest in justice and misrepresentation. I refer to Mr. 'Walpole. I regret to state that the labour which he has had to sustain in his office, increased as it has been by the unfortunate absence of the efficient Under Secretary (Mr. Waddington), in consequence of serious and protracted indisposition, that that labour, and the mental anxiety ho has had to undergo in the course of the last few weeks, have so considerably impaired his health, acting as they have done on a mind more than ordinarily sensitive, that he has felt compelled to represent to me that it was absolutely necessary that he should no longer continue to discharge the duties of that office, and he has accordingly, in spite of my most earnest remonstrances, placed in my hands his resignation, which I have been compelled most reluctantly to submit to the consideration of her Majesty. The Cabinet will thus lose a very efficient member—(hear, hear) —and personally wo shall all feel we aro parting with a man than whom one more amiable, more honourable, more thoroughly conscien tious I have never had the good fortune t 3 act with (Cheers.) But lam bound to add this is no case in which anything that has been done ought to be visited upon my right hon. friend.. It is no departmental question. (Rear, hear.) It is a question which affects the Government as a whole, and there is not one member of the Cabinet—and least of all can I pretend to be such a member—who is not as fully and entirely responsible for all that has been done as We particular Minister referred to. (Rear, hear.) It has been charred against him that he has exhibited great vacil lation, great weakness, great change of purpose ; but I believe there has been no vacillation and no change of pur pose. The course pursued from the first has been one and the same determined upon by the Cabinet after the most anxious and careful deliberation, and founded upon the best reference we could make to the opinions of the present and former law officers of the Crown. The noble earl had spoken as if the year 1866 was the first occasion on which the question had arisen, but it is hardly necessary for me to re mind your lordships that riots took place in 1855 on seve ral consecutive Sundays, which were not sought to be put down until great alarm had been created. In 1856 refe rence was made by the Government of the day to the law officers of the Crown, and a case was submitted on behalf of the Board of Works for the opinions of the law officers upon the following points in relation to the metropolitan parks : First, Is there any authority to close the gates of the en closure and exclude the public altogether during the day ? Secondly, The gates of the inclosures being open, is there any authority to prevent the ingress of persons to the in closures, those persons conducting themselves properly and orderly iu their attempt to obtain ingress? 'Thirdly, Supposing persons to have entered, and to preach, or play upon musical instruments, or to sing, does any authorityexist to turn out persons so pre a c hin g , or p ra y in g , or sing ing, out of the parks, supposing they do not obstruct a thoroughfare, or cause a disturbance ? And if so, you are particularly requested to state what is the nature of the authority, and how it is derived. OPINION. Ist. We think that there is a right in point of law to close the gates and exclude the public from the parks. 2d. Vie think that the gates being open there is a right on the part of the Crown to exclude persons attempting to gain adndssion ; but we do not think this right should be exer cised against particular individuals unless in case of pre vious misconduct. 3d. If persons who have entered com mence to preach or play they cannot be turned out with out proper notice to them that the permission or license of the Crown to the public to enjoy the parks is condi tional only, and does not apply to persons who so conduct themselves and the best way of giving such notice is by posting it up at the entrance of the parks. The authority to close and exclude the public from the parks is that which every landowner has to prevent the public front trespassing on his lands ; fur we are of opinion that the public have not acquired any legal right to use the parks by reason of any continued user under the license and by favour of the Crown. • Temple, Nov. 18, 1856.
