ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have no alteration to report in the condition of the general market for loans and discounts Operations are confined to immediate demands, and as trade, though good, is quiet, the supply of mer cantile bills is comparatively small. At the Bank the inquiry at 2 per cent. and upwards according to quality is extremely limited, and a further accu mulation of notes and gold would appear to be inevitable. The specie movement, notwithstanding the last week's movements, is on the whole good. England is able to take the superabundant supplies of corn and cotton from the United States, and such produce must lessen the metallic shipments in pay ment of interest in greenbacks and other American securities. Australia is sending in all her riches in the shape of gold in bullion, and the West Indies besides is contributing to our accumulation of gold and silver. There is, under such circumstances, reason to believe that the rates of discount will con tinue low. But it will be of benefit to the country if higher rates prevailed for loans and discounts if resulting from extended trade and the confident promotion of associative enterprise. There is an abundance of floating capital available for every legitimate purpose ; but investors are shy ; and it only requires a start, well supported, to initiate a mania—the reverse of the panic in May, 1866. With regard to this subject it may be observed that mining enterprise is likely to come into fashion, especially in relation to Cornwall, Devon, South America, California, and Australia. The report of the Natal Land and Colonisation Company has just been issued. The balance on the 31st December last was £8,804 ; a dividend paid at the rate of 2s. 6d. per share reduced this amount to £4,166, and the directors now recom mend a further distribution of 2s. per share, making a total dividend of 4i per cent. for the year, leaving a balance of £455 to be carried forward. The assets of the company amount to £420,778, and the liabilities to £187,534. A resolu tion will be submitted to the meeting on the 16th inst. to raise £250,000 on debentures. At the meeting held to-day of the Working Mining Company the report and accounts were presented, which stated that for the year ending June 30 the directors congratulated the share holders that, notwithstanding the low price of copper, they have during that period paid all ex penses of working, &c. At the last annual meeting they were indebted to their bankers in London £1,242. After payment of this account there was a cash balance in favour of the Company on the 30th June of £612. The total receipts from all sources, including cash and bills in hand, have been £20,582, and the total expenditure for working expenses has been £19,972, leaving a balance of cash in hand in London and in the Colony of £609. By the May advices the re serves were estimated to be in excess of the out standing last year, and the Committee are sanguine that, commencing the year with a clear balance sheet, the result will be satisfactory to the share holders. From the manufacturing districts the accounts state that during the past week there has been rather more activity in several departments of trade. At Manchester, owing to the large imports of cotton, most kinds were a shade cheaper. In cloths and yarns buyers operated to a moderate extent, the demand being chiefly for descriptions suitable to the Indian markets. For home requirements, how ever, there has only been a limited demand. In the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders field there has been rather more animation, there having been a moderate inquiry for winter fabrics for the Canadian and German markets, although the demand from the home trade as yet remains inactive. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham have shown some slight improvement, and few orders have been received fro m France, the United States, and Canada. In the hardware districts there has been a more cheer ful tone. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver hampton a more cheerful tone has prevailed, a few more orders have been received on Continental ac count, and the demand for railway iron for India and Russia continues to keep the operations in full employment. There were no gold operations at the Bank of England, on Saturday. The Deutschland has arrived from New York, With £13,000.

The interest attached to this light and apparently fragile, though really strong and ingenious, structure is of no ordinary description. The value of a life-raft so simple and easily put together, and one which has been subjected triumphantly to so severe a test of navigation across the Atlantic from the New to the Old World, must attract the attention and excite the surprise especially of all who are called upon to "go down to the sea in ships," and also of those who would reward the ingenious and humane endeavours of those who would add to our means of saving shipwrecked persons from the perils of the ocean. The adventurous captain and crew (of two men) attend the exhibition of the raft. The persecution of the Jews in Wallachia con tinuos unabated, and every day brings the news of some fresh act of violence committed by the authorities. Ernst Schulz's " Masks and Faces," one of the most entertaining and really talented exhibitions of the day, is, we perceive, about to close. A look iu at the Egyptian Hall will be found to furnish a now pleasure, and food for amusing reflection. ARE DRAMATIC CRITICS PLAYWRIGEITS ?—There is a very prevalent notion, fostered by many journals which abuse the tone and style of contemporary dramatic criticism, that nearly all the critics on the metro politan press are playwrights, whose want of independ ence is mainly due to the dealings they have with managers. This is a mistake—and more, it is an injustice. With two or three exceptions, our dramatic critics are men who never write plays for the stage, or for the pigeon holes of a manager's desk. They enter into no competition with the authors they are called upon to criticise; and if their judgment is biassed in any way, it is by personal more than by pecuniary influences. Mr. Dumphy, the dramatic critic of the !Morning Post, is not a playwright, and Mr. Desmond Ryan, who represents the Standard and Ilerald, and is a musical as well, as a dramatic critic, never wrote a drama or an operetta. Mr. E. L. Blanchard, of the Daily Telegraph, supplies pantomimes very regularly to Drury Lano Theatre, but does no other dramatic work. Mr. F. G. Tomlins, who represents the Morn ing Advertiser, wrote a tragedy called " Gracia ; or, The Noble Error," many years ago, but has never repeated the error ; and Mr. J. Hollingsworth, who writes the dramatic notioes for the Daily News, is the author of one farce produced in 1858, and has never written another.— The Broadway. THE INSIDE PASSENGER.—Later in the day we wore aware that the inside passenger was singing in a very cracked voice, and when wo halted for dinner I saw a tall, thin, old man, with a very red face closely shaved, balancing himself with great dignity as he got down. He had a very fierce grey eye, rolling in a kind of watery medium, as though it were preserved in spirits. " Why don't you hold up your horses, sirrah ?" he burst out angrily: "you're not fit to drive. I'm hanged if I don't get you dishmiss, to go breaking gentlemen's necks that way !" Mr. Tunks merely grunted ; and the colonel, eye ing him with much severity as ho toddled towards the inn door, shook his fist, and, uttering again the words, "I'll get you dishmiss, shure's my name's Finucano !" drew himself bolt upright, and walked as if on a plank in the same direction. " Ye'd better take no notice of him, my boys," said the guard ; " the cross dhrop is en him. Ocb, an' faith, it's well there's no other inside to-day, or there 'ud be wigs on the green ! ile's shot more than ono man—the ould scamp before the law put the fear of God into these pistol-gintlomin. Yo'll have 20 miuits for dinner, and make the most of your time, and take the - value of yer money, I'd advise yo."—From the "Adven tures of Dr. Brady," by W. 11. Russell, in Tinsley's Magazine. An extraordinary scene of violence has just oc curred in the Court of Correctional Police at Riom (Puy-de-Dome). A man named Clement was re cently condemned by the Tribunal of Gannat to a month's imprisonment for vagabondage, against which judgment both the accused and the public prosecutor appealed, the latter demanding a more severe punishment, as the man had already under gone several previous condemnations. The Court of Riom now increased the sentence to four months' imprisonment and five years' surveillance by the police. The prisoner had no sooner heard the decision than he stooped down, took off his heavy wooden shoe, and hurled it with all his force at the judge, and at the same time addressed him in the grossest language. Fortunately the missile passed a few inches over the President's head, but made a deep hole in the plaster, tearing the hang ings with which the wall was covered. A gen darme and two other prisoners who were standing by them attempted to secure the prisoner, who, be ing a man of herculean force, struggled for some time, and continued uttering loud vociferations against the judge. At length the man's hands and feet were bound, and he having been placed before the bar to be tried for this outrage, received an additional sentence of five years' imprisonment; the Court likewise ordered that he should be for bidden to reside in the some locality as the Presi dent for ten years after the expiration of his sentence. A correspondent writes to us respecting thequota tion candid() lapillo (with a white pebble) made by his Excellency M. Duruy, when proposing the health of the Emperor at the dinner given at tho Hotel of Public Instruction on the occasion of the distribution of recompences to the pupils of the various colleges of Paris. What poet, W e are asked, has used the words ? The phrase is found in Horace, but not precisely as M. Purity quoted it, the real words being albo IIUMMICI 1(0110, 'THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 12, 1867. SHARE LlST—This Day. Railways. Pall! f Bristol and Exeter ....

MARK LANE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day, coast wise and by land carriage, were in good saleable condi tion. For all kinds the demand ruled heavy, and prices had a drooping tendency. A few samples of now Tala vera sold at 725. to 755. per quarter. Their quality was not very good. We were heavily supplied with foreign Wheat, in which only a retail business was passing on rather easier terms. The imports have been very extensive. The barley trade was firm at full prices. The supply of barley was limited. Malt, the supply of which was good, changed hands slowly, and late rates were with difficulty supported. There was a good demand for oats at 6d per quarter more money when compared with Monday last. The supply of foreign was rather extensive. Boaus were held at full prices, but tho inquiry for them was inactive. Peas maintained their previous value, with a Flow trade. The flour trade was heavy, at late rates. Sovrral pareelo of now rapeseed, in prime condition, wore disposed of at 62s per quarter. In other seeds, as well as in cakes, very little was doing. CURRENCY PER IMP.

Our market to-day was well supplied with foreign stock, in somewhat improved condition. All broods sold heavily at depressed currencies. The arrivals of boasts fresh up from our own grazing districts wore seasonably good, both as to number and quality. Owing in some measure to the moderato attend ance of buyers, the demand for all breeds was heavy in the extreme, at a decline in the quotations, compared with this day se'nnight, of fully 2d per 81bs. The top price for Scots and crosses was 4s 10d per Blbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received about 1,850 shorthorns and crosses ; from other parts of England, 750 various breeds ; and from Scotland, 24 Scots and crosses. We were tolerable well, but not to say heavily, supplied with sheep, the quality of which was by no moans first rate. The trade was in a most depressed state, and the curren cies gave way fully 2d per Blbs. The best Downs and half-breds changed hands at barely 4s 10d per 81bs. There was scarcely any demand for lambs, the allow of which was seasonably good, and prices declined 4d per Blbs. The highest figure was 5s 6d per 81bs. Oalves were in moderato request, at about stationary prices. The supply was rather limited. We have to report a heavy sale for pigs on rather lowo terms.

There are no less than four meetings this week, and it is a vain hope to expect any satisfactory relief from this plethora of racing until the Stewards of the Jockey Club can be persuaded to make a settlement of "racing fixtures" throughout the country as well as at Newmarket a part of their duties. In most pursuits " vested interests" are always taken into consideration ; but in respect of "esta blished" race meetings, the competition of a "mushroom'' class, which are weekly cropping up, especially about the metropolis, is enough to swamp one-half tho legitimate ones that have stood the test of time up to the present day. The Jockey Club have ample power, and I hop( shortly they will also have the inclination, to put their " veto" on the indiscriminate arrangements which not only cause the incessant clashing of one gathering with an other, but allow all sorts and conditions of sporting-mel to get up meetings from the most mercenary of motives, of which the accursed gate system is a nevor-failint: proof. Another crying evil, for which a simple remedy might be found, is the "putting down" of Welshing, at any rate the Grand Stands, where the admission fee entitles, of should do so, every one to protection from pickpockets aml their confreres, "Welshers." For i ,, stance, I notice tha: the stewards at Wolverhampton this week are the Earl o! Stamford, the Duke of Newcastle, Lord Vivian, Sir F. _ . Johnstone, and H. Chaplin, Esq., and if those noblemen and gentlemen would take the trouble to insist upon a paid officer being engaged—at least they can do so before allowing their names 0 be made use of at future meetings—the vagabonds in question would soon be com pelled to perpetrate their robberies elsewhere. This is a claim which gentlemen who patronise sporting have a right to enforce upon the consideration of all stewards, whose names ought to be an infallible criterion of the cha racter of any meeting to which they attach their names. At Brighton, during the past week, the worst class of swindlers obtained access to the principal stand with impunity, and carried out their systems of robberies, for they have both a legal and illegal way of picking pockets, with the greatest effrontery. Remonstrances to clerks of the courses having been made over and over again without success, it is now time to appeal to higher authorities, and we hope the influence of the Hon. Ad miral Rous, the Earl of Westmorland, and Baron Roths child, who were stewards of that meeting, will not be sought for in vain. Backers of horses are most unfortu nate as a class, and they are not unreasonable in de manding that the services of proper officers should be employed for their protection inside as well as outside the Grand Stand. The stewards' suggestions in such a case as this would be immediately carried out, and any one of those parties who are naturally looked up to as the protectors of the best interests of the Turf will, on advocating these views, be worthy of the most grateful thanks from all well-wishers thereto. The Wolverhampton Stakes has dwindled down to a small compass, and appears a foregone conclusion for Hourntoon or Moosu. For the Port Meadow Plate, RUSTIC BEAUTY and TIMOLAUS have nothing to complain of in their weight, and the Staffordshire Nursery Handicap looks a good thing for MAESDERWEN MADAME Bosco must be a rip indeed if she cannot win the Stewards' Plate. The Ninth Stamford Biennial Stakes is a certainty for UNcAs or SPECULUM, presuming as a matter of course that Lady Elizabeth will be an absentee. On Wednesday, I should think KING OF SPADES would represent Wadlow's lot for the Borough Members' Plate, and win. Should MonusEY be sent for the Cleveland Cup he will have his work cut out to beat FEODOE, to whom he has to give 3st within 21b, which I have great doubt of his being able to do. On going carefully over the per formances of the 42 nominations for the Eighth Stamford Biennial Stakes, I give a decided preference to OPOPONAX, whose most dangerous opponent appears to be THE RES CUE, but perhaps the latter may be saved for one of the great Autumn handicaps. Now that LIFE GUARDSMAN has displayed his utter incapacity to gallop in good com pany, one may venture to predict a chance of his success in the Holyoake Stakes. The Chillington Stakes has some first-class two year olds engaged, but ORION is my recommendation, as See-Saw and Formosa are evidently not in good form, nor was Banditto's running at Brigh ton very encouraging. Egham races also take place on Tuesday and Wednes day. The Runnymede Stakes will most likely be won by DUET or DIAMOND. The King John Stakes reads like a struggle between LA BELLE JEANNE, PHILOSOPHER, and MILTON, and if it is thought a worthy prize for the daughter of Weatherbit and Miss Aldcroft I think she will obtain it, although it must not be forgotten the two first named are penalised 61b, while the latter takes a 31b allowance for his maiden qualification. DULCIMER cannot very well lose the Welter Handicap, and MUSA ought to give a good ac count of herself for the Betting Stand Plate. Concerning Wednesday's programme, the Duko of Edinburgh Cup will doubtless attract a good many of the twenty-five nominations to the post, but STAGUOUND, if he were in last year's form, would have about two stone in hand. Under any circumstances he ought to win with his light impost, and next to him 1 fancy MUSA. The Baron's Stakes is a gift to BENEVOLENCE if she runs, but her owner has a strong objection to being forestalled in the market, to corroborate which assertion I need only call to mind the scratching of Lucifer for the Goodwood Stakes, and the above-mentioned filly for the Brighton and Lewes Nurseries. In her absence EPIGRAM might win. VOLUNTEER will win The Princess of Wales' Plate. For the Handicap Sweepstakes of 10 sous each COURT CARD is as well in as anything in the race, and must repre sent my interests. The Surrey and Middlesex Stakes will be won by LA DAUPHINE. On turning my attention to the Sto c kt on meeting, to be hold on Wednesday and Thursday, I cannot refrain from complimenting Mr. Craggs on the superior quality of the entries ho has obtained for many of the stakes at this pleasant reunion. On the first day the Cleveland Stakes, for two-year-olds, has to be decided, and it will most assuredly be one of the most interesting events of the week. Europa has incurred a penalty of 91b, Frolicsom e an d L a Mousse 71b, and Af fection 41b, whilst of the dark division Mr. Jackson has a well-bred colt by Orlando out of Bouquet (brother to Born bastes), and Mr. John Scott another, Viscount, by Marquis from Columbine, both of whom are likely to be amongst the competitors on this occasion. Europa's merit is un deniable, but I question if she can carry her heavy weight successfully past the winning post on this occasion. I symmetry and good looks are any passport to success, Viscount is bound to be at the winner's heels, if not the winner; still I must reluctantly throw him over this jour ney in favour of BROTHER TO BOMBASTES, who, it may not be out of place to mention, is engaged in next year's Derby. The Tradesmen's Handicap has lnly eleven horses remain ing in, Moulsey having been struck out since the accept ances-wore published. Of these STRATIICONAN and TREA SURE TROVE aro best in, and the latter should have no difficulty in winning if sent fit and well to the post. I fancy ELrETA for the Harry Fowler Stakes. The Tenth Zetland Biennial Stakes, in the absence of Hermit and Knight of the Garter, will be reduced to a match between ROMPING GIRL and FERVACQUES, and I have a slight pre ference for the filly, though she carries 31b. more penalty than the French Derby winner. The Great Northern Leger, as Marksman is not likely to fulfil this engagement, rests between TARABAN and TYNEDALE, and as the latter is sure to go straight, he is my choice. In the Town Plate, even if ELPETA incurs a penalty for winning the previous day, she cannot very well be beat. MERRY ANDREW is a doubtful runner, but with a start he would, I think, be worth backing for the Wyn yard Handicap. The Lambton Plate will go to EUROPA, unless the colt by Orlando—Bouquet should prove himself worthy of the commendation I have already beitowed upon him. The Hardwicke Stakes has no less than seventy two subscribers, of which, as TIMARU is entitled to 51b allowance, and ought to have beaten Lady Highthorn at Chester, she must be my champion. OAPRERA is extremely well in in the Elton Juvenile Stakes. Friday's eve - nts include tho Eleventh Zotland Biennia: Stakes, which THE RUSSIAN BEAR should be about win ning, as he claims 51b allowance. For the Garbutt Nur- sery Handicap ORANGE BLOSSOM is very likely to repay an investment. The Middlesborough Handicap should go to LORD RONALD. Tho Four Year Old Claret Stakes has STRATHCONAN and WESTWICK engaged, but I have a de cided preference for the first named. In the Stewards' Cup the Duke of Beaufort must have a great chance with Isciue, if she has recovered any portion of her three-yr old merit, while ELFETA'S previous running will be a satis- factory guide as to her chance for this event. At the Oxford meeting KNIGHT OF ST. MICHAEL or King of Spades are favourably handicapped for the Port Meadow Plate. GANvAtLDE, should he skirt, will win the Freemen's Plate. For the Prince of Wales Stakes Cour D'ECLAT takes a 51b allowance, and should win. The thirteen " contents" for the Oxford shire Stakes are not any of them first-class, and in this company FRIDAY will take a great deal of beating. OBERON is " turned loose" in the County Members' Plate. Either LADY BARBARA or HITE AND CRY should win the Stratton Audley Nursery Handicap. A FRESH MAN. (From the Newmarket Correspondent of the Racing Times.) All racing men look for ward with pleasure to the Brighton Meeting, but they were sadly disappointed, as the rain came down in torre nts on the first two days, and marred the pleasure not on l y of the racing public, butf the turf of pl ea s ure -seekers in general. All the patrons o, from the peer to the tout, had their families at Brighton ; but instead of enjoying the sea-breeze they wore confined to their hotels or lodgings each day until two o'clock. The weather on Thursday, the Club Day, was pretty good, which brought together one of the largest assemblies over seen on Brighton race course. The racing during the week requires but a passing notice from me. Most of the horses that ran during the week were very moderate, and the rac ing was most disastrous to backers of horses. Confederate has turned out as good a bargain to Captain Machell as Old Volunteer, and he must have already paid a thousand per cent. on his purchase. During the past week his run ning makes the two year olds of this year, with one or two exceptions, only moderate, as he gave Philosopher 321 b, and ran away from him on Wednesday; whilst the latter came gut the came at tonwou and beat Yoda and See PAW, ' >ioulsey ran away from a lot of horses in the Cup, which gives us proof of the moderato class of thorough breds that we have 113 W in training. It is surprising whore money comes from to pay for training such wretches. When we see such bottled-up cripples as Rel Cap giving weight to such horses as Lifo Guardsmsn, that was once thought to be a good one, it is quite time such brutes were put to some other employment, where they could earn their hayand corn. The Marquis of Hastings must have had a bad week, Rel Cap being the only winner he had, and those who assorted that the running of Lecturer was all wrong at Huntingdon found they were mistaken, as Fordham could make no more of him than Cannon did. The weather was beautiful at LOWCS, and Mr. Vernal had two splendid days racing ; but, like the class of horses that run at Brighton, they were only moderate. There were large fields, close contests, and seine heavy beating on nearly all the races. Mr. Brayley landed a good stake on his old bottled-up crock Pearl Diver. Gst 61b was a ridiculous weight to put on an aged horse that ever had any pretensions to racing. Julius ran a good horse, as he had to give the winner 221bs, and had Fordham mule more use of the time allowed him iu the false race he would have come in alone. Ho was the first to discover the mistake the others made in going the wrens course, and when he turned back he seemed to wait for the other horses to have another fair start. Thus the Lewes handicap will long be remembered for the mistake that was made in the race, but under any circumstances Arr. Brayley must have won. Any further comments from me on tho racing of the past week would not be the least interesting to your readers, therefore I shall proceed at once to offer a few remarks on Wolverhampton and Egham. There is no ono more particularly acivainted with the black country than the writer of this, and 1 am sorry to see such a falling off in the programme of this once popular meeting, whore the bowels of the earth aro deprived of their thickly-populated inhabitants during the two days, when the hard working colliers turns out in thou sands to witness the sport that is provided for them. 1 remember a Government official was once sent to take the census of the black country, and in his remarks of what he saw there said he found them stunted in body and mind. lam afraid those at the head of affairs there now are troubled with the latter complaint, as they want to keep all the money in their own county. It is quite evident the handicap for the Wolverhampton Stakes was made for the home stable, as Honeymoon can't lose if wanted. The only ono I can soo with any chance to contend with her is Moose. The Cleveland Cup has only an indifferent class of horses entered for it, and it looks like a match bet /peen Moulseyand the Amanda colt. What a falling off from the days when we saw such horses as flarkaway, Charles the T welfth, Rillus, and Traveller con tend for it, but in those days Mr. Frank Marshall, a re spected townsman, was at the head of affairs, and after he went to "that bourne from whence no traveller returns," it went down to a regular leather-flapping meeting. Mr Devereux was then called to the head of affairs, and partly succeeded in restoring it to something like its old form ; and what with the handsome sum of .£lOO added to the stake by the Earl of Stamford, it bids fair to rank once more among the best Country meetings. Tho present handicap seems to have given offence to the Lord of Divine, as he scratched all his horses on the appear ance of the weights, and thereby hangs a tale. The Stamford Biennial will be won by Uncas, as I am told John Day will have no horses at Wolverhampton, and Specalum and Ninny must have had enough of it dur ing the past week. The Patshnll Stakes looks a good thing for one of Wadlow's, who can win with whichever he likes to run, and the Staffordshire Nursery will be won by Beauty if Mr. Wood thinks the stakes worth running for. Wadlow has five in the Borough Members' Plato, and whichever represents the stable will win, most likely King of Spades. The Eighth Stamford Biennial looks a good thing for Opoponax. If he runs the Chillington Stakes will be won by Orion. Mr. Marshall's pleasant little meeting at Egham is sure to bo patronised by most of the members of the London ring, as few will care to go as far north as Wolverhampton and Stockton after their busy week at Brighton and Lewes. The Surrey and Middle sex Stakes looks a very good thing for La Dauphine after her running at Goodwood and Brighton. La Belle Jeanne will win the King John Stakes. Duet or Vixen ought to win the Runneymede Stakes. PROGRAMME OF WOLVERHAMPTON RACES. TUESDAY, August 13.

The LORD 011LNCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Wrexham, Mold, and Connah!s Quay Railway, and Great Western Railway (Finance) Bills, wore road a third timo and passe d. THE DEER REMOVAL ACT. Viscount EVERSLEY presented a petition from the inhabitants of the New Forest, complaining of the opera tion of the Deer Removal Act and the enclosure of that forest. The act effected the enclosure of 16,000 acres, and did away in a groat measure, it was all ege d, with the ad vantages of common right. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM. said that the whole of the 16,000 acres would be thrown open as soon as the tr eex and underwood should b' removed from the forest. lie had considered the matter with attention, and he thought that the report that was to be laid before the house would fully satisfy their lordships that the rights of commoners had been fully taken into consideration. The Earl of MALMESBURY and the Duke of Buemzucit made a few remarks as to the inadmiseability of the enclo sure, and the petition was laid on the table. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. The Earl of DERBY, according to a motion on the paper, called attention to the Commons' amendments to the Lords' amendments,' and said that it was not desirable that they should run any risk of a rejec tion of a bill like that which had come before them. It would lead to great waste of the time which had been devoted to the bill, and would create a great deal of discussion during the recess. He should confine himself to threo points in the bill which had been passed as amendments by their own house. One of these, that of Lord Cairns, the Commons had reconsidered and passed, and with regard to it he must say a few words. Tho amendment as to three-cornered constituencies he had always been opposed to, and he thought it was totally opposed to the feelings of the country; but though he was opposed to such a course as a general extension, still under certain circumstances he thought that it might be advisable. But with regard to the copy hold and freehold franchise he was sorry to say that the House of Commons had disapproved of the Lords' amend ments, and had furnished them with their reasons. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TIIIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. RIFLING HEAVY ORDNANCE. Mr. BLAKE asked the Secretary for War whether any report had been recently received at the War-office from the Ordnance Select Committee on Captain Scott's claims for reward for his system for rifling heavy ordnance; and, if so, whether there was any objection to lay a copy of same upon the table of the house. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he had received a report on the subject, and as Capt. Scott was tho only one of the competitors who had not received a reward, it had been determined to pay over to him an amount similar to that given to others THE 'VOLUNTEERS. Mr. LAIRD asked the Secretary of War whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to recommend Parliament to grant a❑ increased allowance to the volun teer force, as, failing such increased allowance being made, many of those volunteer (Imps, which wore composed principally of artisans, must be di6bauded. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he could not venture to say what would be recommended next year. Ife might state that Government had given its serious consideration to the memorial which bad been presented on the subject of the inadequacy of the capitation grant. Lord ELCIIO hoped that when the motion was again considered. the mode and time of payment would not be passed over wit bout consideration. Sir J. PAKINGTON said it had already been decided to change the mode of payment. For the future, as soon as the number of efficients had been ascertained, the grant would bo paid the commanding officer and the members of the finance committee. TIIE RAILWAY COMMISSION. Mr. BASS asked the Vice-President of the Board whe ther it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to take into consideration, during the recess, the reports of the royal railway commission, with a view to any action upon tho subject. Mr. CAVE said serious attention had already boon directed to the subject, but ho thought it was too early to state what would be done next session. The proceedings that had occurred during the present session did not make the subject a very hopeful one. ABYSSINIA. Mr. U. SEYMOUR asked in whose possession her Ma jesty's Government acknowledge the coast of Abyssinia on tho shores of the Rod Sea to be from Sonakim to Zoila. Lord STANLEY said be believed the Turkish Govern ment some time ago placed Mossowah and the neighbour hood under the Government of the Viceroy of Egypt. Mr. SEYMOUR asked whether any part of it was claimed by France. Lord STANLEY was not aware that any such claim had been put in by the French Government Sir J. GRAY asked if the Government had received any communication with respect to the alleged ill-treatment of British engineers employed on the railroads in Egypt, and if steps had been taken to adjust the matter in dispute. Lord STANLEY, in reply, said intelligence of the mat ter had been received. The men being engine-drivers they struck on account of certain grievances, which re mained unredressed. The Egyptian Government had directed a strict inquiry to be made into the whole of the matter. Money had been sent out to enable the men to return to England if they wished to do so. (near, hoar.) THE ISIDIA BUDGET. On the motion for going into committee on the Indian Budget, Mr. AYRTON rose to move the following resolutions: —" That the Governor-General of India should be em powerod, with the sanction of her Majesty's Secretary of State for India, to conduct the business of each de partment of Government in concert with one or morn members of his Council instead of the whole Council ; that, in order to insure better attention to the affairs of trade and agriculture, an additional member of the Go vernor General's Council in India should be appointed to superintend those affairs ; that the Government of Bengal should bo placed upon the same footing as the Government of Bombay; that one nominated and ono elected member of the Council of the Secretary of State for India should cease to hold office at the end of each year; that the members of the Council should retire in rotation according to their length of servico, whether a s members of the Counc il or as East India Directors; that the existing practice of recording by resolutions of this house certain financial facts relating to India should be discontinued; and that, instead thereof, the estimates for all exponditure in Europe of her Majesty's Secretary of State for India in council should be approved by a vote of this house before the same is incurred." Tho hon. member took the opportunity of entering into the modo of managing railways in India, and contended generally that matters were badly managed, so much so that where profit ought to arise a deficit invariably oc curred, and all this was occasioned because persons of high intelligence were not employed. (LEFT SPEAKING.) FOURTH EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST SEVEN. 'OUSE OF LORDS-THIS EVENING. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. The Earl of DERBY, in continuation, said the amend ments which their lordships had made in the bill, although dissented from by the House of Commons, he considered to be most important. Much as he regretted the strik ing out of the clause relating to voting papers, he thought the time would come when that great hn provement in the mode of voting should have to bo adopted. Notwithstanding the rejection of the amendments, ho trusted their lordships would not persist in those amendments, because the effect of such a step would bo that the whole labour of the session would be lost. Groat discontent would prevail during the recess. Under such circumstances much as he regretted the other house took a view opposed to their lordships he would, on the part of her Majesty's Government, ask their lordships not to persevere in their amendments. After a few words from the Marquis of SALISBURY, Earl STANnorz, and several other Peers, Their Lordships agreed not to persiit in their amend- ments.
