IYfON -:-- EY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL TELLIOF TWELVE O'CLOCK. The directors of the Bank of England have held their weekly court, and adjourned with out making an alteration in the minimum rate of discount. This decision was expected by everybody at all acquainted with the passing posi tion of affairs, it may happen that the executive Rill lower the terms for accommodation, but the concession should it be made is scarcely coveted, the idea being that a larger trade associated with a higher rate of discount would be preferable to a lower quotation and stagnation of business. A further influx of gold to the amount of £51,000 'ns taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The half-yearly interest warrant at the rate of 6 per cent. per, annum to the shareholders, and the coupons for interest on the Debentures in the Rus sian (Vybrouski) Iron Works Company (Limited), are now in course of payment at the London and County Bank, Lombard-street. At the meeting, on the 28th inst., the directors of the National Discount Company will recommend the Payment of a dividend at the rate of 17 per cent. per annum. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : Great W es t ern 1867. 1868.• 80 676 81,700 North Western *- ••• * :.125 , 966 128,599 South W es t ern ••• ••• '791 27,317 Brighton ..• Midland • • • ' 50,956 ..• . 28 ▪ 26 , 665 23,894 South Eastern *.:• *** •• • 55 , 560 26,662 Great N or th ern ••• 29,97002 Lancashi re an d Yorkshire.— ••• ••• 37'815 36,6985 Bristol an d Exeter... ••• ••• 7 50 1 7,166'750 49,'4 North E as t ern '1 66 • 74 9/ 4 e , 8 Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln .• 2 . ;708 22,664 Great Eastern North British ..• 88,330 -' 38,063 29105 27761 London, Chatham, and Dover :•.: 15,091 12,763 Metropolitan ••• ••• ••. ... 555 4046 Midland and Great 'Western of Ireland .. 5 392 5 , 631 Great S ou th ern and Western of Ireland... . 4, 7 ' 924 8,815 ' Gla sgow and South -Western ... . 11 , 820 11201 These returns, when compared with those of the corresponding period of last year, are, with one or two exceptions, of a favourable character. On the S outh -Western there is an increase of £1,474; the Brighton, of £2,771 ; the Midland, of £4,604 ; the South-Eastern, of £3,298 ; the Great Northern, of £1,793 ; the Lancashire and York shire, of £1,405 ; the Bristol and Exeter, of £585 ; the N orth-Eastern, of £3,306 ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, of £44 ; the Great Eastern, of £267 ; the North British, of £1,341; the Len d") Chatham and Dover, of £2,328 ; and the Metropolitan, of £509 ; while the Great Western exhibits a decrease of £1,124, and the North-Wes tern, of £2,633. Notice has been given that an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Telegraph to India Company Limited was held at the offices of the company to-clay, the 12th inst., for the purpose of considering the heads of agreement between the above company and the Telegraph Construction and Maintainance Company respect ing the future lease, and prospective sale and pur chase of the company's lines, Firman concessions, and interest therein. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have appointed to-day, 12th inst., a special settling day in the scrip of the loan of the Provincial Orel Vitelish Railway Company, which is to be quoted in the official list. Certain and speedy telegraphic communication with India is a matter of the highest importance both in a national and commercial point of view, and not withstanding that means now exist of com municating with the East by telegraph, yet they are of such an uncertain and perplexing description that they, in fact, amount almost to worthlessness. To prove such to be the fact, we need only refer to the peculiar public despatches that appear from time to time in the daily journals. Dates, places, names, and other matters are all heaped together in the most admired confusion, and for all useful purposes the information received is of no avail. This state of things arises from the wires passing through countries differing in language as well as adminis tration, and expectation of a better system under the present circumstances is altogether beyond hope. With a view of giving a more rapid and accurate means of communicating with India, a body of gen tlemen of the highest standing and ability have is sued the prospectus of the Anglo-Indian Telegraph Company, which proposes a line of telegraphic com munication with the East under one undivided re sponsible control and management in London, the lines passing via Egypt and Aden to India, with extensions ultimately to Singapore, China, Japan, and Australia. Negotiations have already com menced with the Italian Government for the con cession of a line from Siasa to Modena, to Sicily ; secondly, for a lease from the British Government of the Malta and Alexandrian line of cable ; and, thirdly, for a lease cf the land lines between Alex andria, Cairo, and Suez. The great work to be Previously accomplished—the wire between Sue z and Bombay —which the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company have agreed to do. The entire line, in all probability, being completed throughout in May, 1868. Such a proposition as that of the Anglo-Indian Telegraph Company is quite a national undertaking, and as such, under the guidance of such a body of gentlemen as form the directory, it must meet with the most certain and complete success, and realise a splendid return to those who invest their capital in carrying out the undertaking.

Sales probably 8,000 or 10,000 bales. Crystal Palace. the coming few days are likely to be the busiest and most varied ever experienced at the Crystal Palace. The Dramatic College Fetes and Fancy Fair, presided over by the Ladies of the Dramatic pro fession, and for which most extensive preparations have this year been made, and which embrace the assistance of nearly the whole of the theatrical world, will be held on SAturday and Monday. The programme issued for the occasion is a curiosity as regards the varied amusements and attractions pro vided for these popular revels. All the old favou rites, with many new ones, have volunteered their services, and an amount of gaiety and fun of the most extraordinary character may be looked for. These fetes last from 12 till dusk. On Tuesday the Palace will remain closed until two o'clock, to gain time for preparing a great com bined fete, by Royal command, in honour of his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, who with the Prince of \Vales, and other members of the imperial and Royal families, will be present on the occasion. There will be a Grand Concert by the artistes of Her Majesty's Theatre, which theatre will be closed for that evening. The first part will consist mainly of au operatic selection, and the second part will comprise a Turkish hymn complimentary to the Sul tan, set to music by Signor Arditi, the National Anthem, and other selections of music, by a vast festival orchestra of nearly three thousand per formers. Besides the artistes of Her Majesty's Theatre, members of various choral societies, the band of the company and military bands will help to swell the numbers. A special display of the Great Fountains will take place at about half-past six, after which th e S u l tan an d ot h er R o y a l and distinguished visitors will promenade through the Building and Fine Art Courts, and dine in one of the corridors of the Palace. The second part of the concert will take place soon after half-past eight, the orchestra being lighted up for the occa sion. A magnificent display of fireworks and illumina tion of fountains will take place as soon as it is dark (about half-past 9 o'clock), and special features in troduced for the first time will add vastly to the brilliancy of this display, which in itself will be unique. Full particulars of this great combined fete are an nounced. Season ticket holders will be admitted on payment of half-a-crown, the prices of admission to the Palace to non-season ticket holders and to re served seats being five shillings. On the day of the fete, the price of admission will be doubled, both to the public and to season ticket holders. Wednesday will be a great popular day, when the fountains will be again illuminated for the Belgians, who have accepted an invitation to be present on that afternoon and evening. This will be a truly nationai fete available to all, at the usual rate of admission, Is. Special and appropriate illumina tions will also be displayed on this occasion. On Thursday and Friday the archery fetes, which are on a more extensive scale than hitherto, will take place ; and on Saturday the last of the series of opera concerts will be given. Never in the experience of the Palace have so many special attractions been brought into so small a compass, and a considerable addition may be anticipated to the number attending, as well as an increased sale of season tickets. A MAN AND Two BOYS DROWNED.._ o n Wednesday morning Mr. Woodman, the summoning officer for Camberwell, waited upon Mr. Carter, the Surrey Coroner, with information that a respectably-dressed elderly man bad been found drowned in the basin of the Gland Surrey Canal, Albany-road. The body w as got out to the bank, and removed to the Workhouse. Also that two boys, who had gone to the Vestry Field brick ground, whilst bathing both became entangled in the mud and disappeared. A man who witnessed the occurrence. jumped into the pond, and got them both out, but life was extinct. The bodies were removed to the dead house, at which establishment the three inquests will be held. ----- THE CROPS IN CORNWALL—The crop of hay this year in every part of Cornwall is exceedingly good, both as regards quality and quantity. Wheat, barley, and oats are also reported to be looking full of great promise, and all the crops are iu a forward condition. The potato crop is below an average, the disease having made fearful ravages. E SUN, LOS ON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 11, .I.Bt POLICE INTELLIGEKCE.—This Day. -0— MARLBOROUGH-STREET. MURDEROUS ASSAULT THROUGH JEALOUST.—Jessie Delamy, a young woman, residing in Monmouth-court, Seven Dials, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with cut tang and wounding Annie Collins (residing in the same house) with a razor, with intent to do her grievous bodily harm. The prosecutrix said—Last night the prisoner came and knocked violently at my room door, saying that I had her husband in my roo:n. I went out and asked her why she knocked at my door, and she struck me with a razor on my arm. She was standing at the room door at the time• Mr. Tyrwhitt - Have you had your arm attended to? Prosccutrix—Yes ; by the doctor at the police-station. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did you see the razor? Proccutrix —Yes. Mr. Tyrwhitt —Did she go into her room to fetch the razor? Prosecutrix—No ; she had it in her hand all along. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did she strike you more than once? Prosecutrix—Only once. Mr. Tyrwhitt —Did your arm bleed ? Prosecutrix —Yes, a great deal. The doctor strapped up the wound. Prisoner - All I have to say is that my husband was in her room, and I meant the razor for him. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did the prisoner say anything when she did it ? Prosecutrix—No. Police-constable Wm. Cornell, 158 F—About two this morning I was passing through Monmouth-court when the husband of the prisoner called me, and said that a woman was in his room, and he wanted to get her out. I told him he must turn her out himself. While there the prisoner abused her husband, and said he bad been with another female. The prisoner then went and kicked at the prosecutrix's door, and then went back into her room, and on the proscutrix coming out and going to the pri soner's door to ask why she had done so, the prisoner came out with two razors, and with one of them struck the prosecutrix on the arm, saying "she would do for her." I pulled the prosecutrix away from the pri soner, who was chopping at her with a razor. I asked the prisoner to put the razors down, one of then being open and the other in a case, and as she refused to do so I took out my staff and knocked them out of her hand. I then took the prisoner to the station, and when there she said she was sorry she had not done fur the prosecutrix, as her husband was always cohabiting with the prosecu trix and other females. The divisional surgeon attended to the prosecutrix. The razors produced are those I took from the prisoner. Prisoner (crying)—l have no questions to ask. I hope you will not screen me in the least. Give me the utmost you can. It will be a relief to my life. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You will be remanded. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. ARRIVAL OF THE BELGIAN VOLITN TEERS.—This Day. The ceremony of receiving the Belgian Volun :ecrs took place to-day, and resulted in a success of :he most animated and brilliant description. The reception committee met early this morning, and, having settled the preliminaries as far as possible touching the provision to be made for the visitors, proceeded to Westminster-bridge and eur'arked on board the Swift en route to Gravesend. The company on board comprised the following:— Col. Loyd Lindsay, V.C., M.P., Lsrd Londes borough, Sir B. Phillips, the Hon. 11. C. Lindsay, M.P., G. Wich, Vice-Consul of Belgium ; C. De Grelle, Consular Agent of Belgium • C. Mertens, Commercial Agent of Belgium • Col. Beresford, Lieut.-Col. Warde, Col. Esdaile, Col. Mathews, Major Butler, Major Waltnesley, Capt. Oldershaw, Capt. Grey, Capt. Styan, Lieut. Green, Capt. Bristow, Capt. Farrell, Capt. J. B. Heeles, Capt. Nelson, Capt. Crosland, Capt._ Webber, Capt. Deighton, C. Cockcraft, Esq., Mr. Burgess, Mr. Pascoe, Mr. S. Sidney, &c. The attendance on board the Swift was aug mented at the Old Swan Pier, and from this point the vessel proceeded on its voyage, the band of the Victoria Rifles playing the most inspiriting military airs, and colours flying from stem to stern. On arriving opposite Greenwich the first demonstration was made, the Trafalgar Hotel displaying innumer able flags from every window, the whole presenting a very pretty effect. The journey to Gravesend was accomplished in the most quiet and enjoyable man ner, but on coming in si g ht of her Majesty's noble steamship Serapis, which had conveyed the Belgians to England, a loud a n d wr inging cheer was given by the company on board the" Swift, which was answered by tremendouS cheering from the Belgians on board the noble vessel. Cheer followed cheer, waving of hats, and . every demon stration of enthusiastic :delight took place amongst those on board the Serapis. Brass bands of each vessel played the national anthem of the respective countries, but above all was to be heard the voices of our distinguished visitors singing, with the greatest enthusiasm, " God Save the Queen." The Serapis dipped her colours in compliment to the arrival of the Committee, and the Swift having returned the compliment, an other tremendous cheer broke forth, and before it had died away the Swift was alongside the Serapis. Here a scene of the wildest enthusiasm took place. As each person set his foot on board the splendid steamship he was completely overwhelmed with the congratulations and compliments of the visitors. Colonel Loyd Lindsay made his way to the poop of the Serapis, where the officers in command of the Belgian Volunteers having taken their places in front, the gallant colonel addressed them in French, of which the following is an English translation :—He said he was anxious that the first words that they heard on reaching the English shore should be the words of welcome, and he therefore hastened on board before they set their foot on English soil to congratulate them on having accomplished their voyage in safety. His words would be few, but they would be sincere and earnest, because they were spoken on behalf of the British people, who were always sen sitive to any act of kindness received, and ready and eager to reciprocate the offices of international friendship. On behalf of the Committee of Recep tion, on behalf of the Volunteers of England, on behalf of the whole nation, he said to them, " Be welcome to our country." (Great cheering.) We thank you for coming in such large and in so friendly a spirit to visit our capital. We do not receive you as strangers, we welcome you as friends, amongst whom we have spent happy days, the pleasant remembrance of which can never be effaces'.. Last year it was his high privilege as Commander of the English volunteers, who visited their friendly country, to enjoy a large portion of their hospitality. It was now his pleasant duty, as chairman of the Reception Committee, to receive them on the anxiously expected occasion of their return visit. There was but one cloud to darken the brightness of the joyful meeting between the two nations. The remembrance of a dreadful tragedy which had been SD recently enacted in another hemisphere. That must darken there fete and sadden every heart ; and also friendly ties which united the brave monarch whose sad fate we mourned to the royal families both of Belgium and England. We had . hoped that these fetes might have been honour, d by the presence of his Majesty the King of the Belgians. llis gra cious hospitality, so princely and yet so Liendly, and which he extended to every Volunteer who visited Belgium last year, had impressed them all with a feeling of lasting rever e nce and gratitude, and he need not assure them with what heartfelt enthusiasm the people of England would have welcomed their King, nor how deeply they sympathised with the sorrow which forbade him and his gracious consort from participating in their festivities. But though deprived of the cheering presence of their Sovereign, he hoped that they might be able to render their visit to this country agreeable to themselves, and that they would think on their return home of au increased feeling of friendship towards England. As far as the day was concerned, the committee had thought that after their long voyage repose would be acceptable to them, but to-morrow the Lord Mayor and the Cor poration of London would cordially welcome them to the ancient city hall, and ou Saturday the Prince of Wales would receive them at Wimble don, and with his own hand present them with a badge commemorative of thtir visit. Next week an entertainment would be provided for them by Miss Burdett Coutts w h o would hospita bl y receive them all at a morning fete at her villa, and the committee had organised a grand ball and concert at the Agricult ura l H a ll, besides o ther minor fetes. Ile begged them, there fore, to accept these proffered hospitalities in the spirit in which they were tendered—th e sp i r it o f goodwill an d free in tercourse. (L ou d c h eers .) England f e rventl y hoped that the result of the visit of so large a body of Belgians to our shores might lead to an increase of international respec t a nd friendship—goodwill amongst men and p eace am ongst nations. (Loud cheers.) Col. Gregoire, on behalf of the Bel g ians, re turned thanks, an d sa id that it was wit h t h e greatest apleasure that the Belg ians visited Eng land. He h o p e d t h at th e visit would tend to a strong and lasti ng f ee li ng of amity and friendship between the two countries. (Cheers.) llere another scene of enthusiasm took place ; the cheering was tremendous, awl the effect pre sented by the wavine, o f h an dkerchiefs and hats, de corated with ev ery variety t ' of plume and colour, was spirit-stirring in the extreme. Another compliment the Belgians paid to this country at large was that each of them h a d a ffi xe d a t the end of his rifle a miniature copy of the English e nsi g n beautifull y worked in silk. Th e greater part of the living cargo having been saf e l y p l ace d on board the Sea Swallow, bearing a Ibis yellow, an d t h e N a i a d white, the voyage to red flag, th e Elfin blue, the Fairy and London comme nce d s h ort ly before two o'clock. The passage up the river was of the most livel y description, our B e l g i an v i s it ors being at every point s aluted in the most „h ear t y ;E ng li s h manner. The steambobas pin v id e d , h owe ver, were totally inadequate to affordthe Paeans of transit to the large number of volunteers who responded to the invita tion of the Reception .Committee, and consequently a great number bad to remain at the Town Pier, Gravesend, until boats were provided to take them to London. However, the spirit and hilarity that had prevailed was not at all damped by such a cir cumstance, as the Belgians at once freely frater nised with the larg e co mpany that had flocked from London to witness their departure, and during t h e time they were detained on the pier they caugh t the spirit of the lively strains of the band, and broke out into a vociferous chorus of " God save the Queen" and various other national airs, which produced altogether a scene impossible to describe. The Sea Swallow landed its lively freight at Lou don Bridge, the Elfin landed its passengers at Paul's Wharf, the Fairy and Ibis at llungerford, and the Naiad at Westminster Bridge. At each of which places the Belgians met with a most general and hearty welcome from the ja - noose crowds that had assembled to greet them on their arrival in the metropolis. . Th e arrangements for the voyage across the Channel were not altogether satisfactory, but not hi n g beyond some personal inconvenience happily took place. BANK OF FRANCE.

ROBBERY IN THE WORKHOUSE. — George M'Varney, a rough-looking fellow, was chargei by Mr. Thomas Waterman, the superintendent of the casual ward of St. Margaret's, with stealing a pair of boots, the property of another inmate of the workhouse. James Harrison said that he came from Sheffield, and on Tuesday night he was received into the workhouse. He slept there that night, and on the following morning ho missed his boots. He left the house, and had been obliged to walk about barefooted. Last night he went to the house, and found the boots on the foot of the prisoner. He told him that they belonged to him, which prisoner denied, and said that there were plenty of boots alike. Mr. Superintendent Waterman said that the prosecutor informed him that the prisoner was wearing his boots which he had stolen from him, and he was in consequence given into custody. The boots were produced in court, and, in answer to the magistrate, the prosecutor said he could swear to them. Th© prisoner said that ho did not steal the boots, but he bought them of a Jew, and gave Bd. for them. Mr. Arnold—How did you get the money ? Prisoner—l had it given to me by a man who lives in Peter-street. The Magistrate—Then you had better call him as a wit ness, and I shall remand you until Tuesday next for that purpose. TEARING CLOTHES.—Emma Esther was sent to prison for 14 days, to be kept on bread and water, for destroying her workhouse clothes. THAMES. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Sarah Ann Forward, a ser vant. girl, aged 17, and Margaret Phillips, 18, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged the former with stealing, and the other with receiving, knowing them to be stolen, 5 waistcoats, 8 pairs of kid gloves, 2 hair nets, 2 common brooches, 2 neck ties, 1 pipe, 1 purse, a piece of bed trim ming, 4 cambric handkerchiefs, 13 reels of cotton, a linen collar, a crotchet hook, a quantity of belt ribbon, 4 coloured cotton handkerchiefs, and some other articles, the property of Mr. John Longworthy, draper and haberdasher, of No 1. Cannon-street, St. George-in-the-East. The prisoner Forward had been in the service of Mr . Longworthy for three weeks only, and he had daily missed articles sinco she had been with him. He called in a police-constable named Childs, No. 193 11, who searched the girl's box in her presence, and found a portion of the above named articles iu it. She said, "My sister-in-law, Mrs. Phillips, is the cause of this." The constable then proceeded to the prisoner Phillips, No. 56, Caroline-street, Ratcliff, and asked her if she had anything in her posses sion, to which ,he replied in the negative. Childs searched a box under her bed, and found six kid gloves, neck ties, coloured neckerchiefs, and other property, comprising the remainder of all the stolen articles not found in the ser vant's box. Phillips said to the constable, "The things were given me to take care of, and I was not aware they were stolen." In answer to the magistrate, the constable said that Mrs. Phillips told a woman to deny that she was at home when she saw him and Mr. Longworthy turn the corner of the street. Mr. Longworthy identified all the property now pro. duced by Childs. The prisoners were committed for trial. IRONMASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETING, WOLVERHAMPTON, July 10. The usual quarterly assemblies of the ironmasters of this district commenced in this town this after noon. The attendance was small, it was confined almost exclusively to those connected with the trade in the locality. The great exporting firms were al most altogether unrepresented, and scarcely any business was done. Transactions are all reserved for the meeting at Birmingham on Thursday, but every body is prepared for a quiet quarter-day. On ac count of America the demand is comparatively small; and there is no anticipation that any improvement in that respect will take place at present. In other departments the foreign demand is below the ave rage, and home consumers are charyabout contract ing engagements for finished iron except for just sufficient quantities to enable them to carry on the moderate amount of business they are doing. With respect to the actual condition of the trade at this moment, there are half-a-dozen makers who are doing pretty well, some of them from the almost unvarying regularity of their trade ; others have got a supply of what may be regarded as excep tional orders ; but the " rank and file" of the trade have not on the average sufficient to keep their works going more than three days in the week. The market for pig-iron is reported quiet, but the make has been so much reduced that last quarter day prices are maintained. This was also manufacturers', factors', and mer• chants' quarter-day, and the bad state of trade, pass and present, was the subject of general complain and comment. KING THEODORE.—It will be interesting to the friends of the prisoners in Abyssinia, and to the public in general, to learn that Brigadier-General Coghlan's proposal to the Cabinet is that a force of 10,000 men should be pre pared at Bombay ready to land iu Abyssinia in October next. Meanwhile an officer should be soot with full poli tical powers and a largo staff to Massowah, to make pre parations for the coming army, buying up food and cattle, &c. Tho hope is that King Theodore, seeing that we are in earnest, will bo induced to surrender the prisoners into our hands. In case of a refusal, we are informed that a hostile movement would be the result.—The Owl. EUROPEAN COLLEGE AT PEKIN.—The Imperial decree establishing an European college at Pekiu is an amusing document. Tho Minister Ouojen, it seems, op posed the founding of this college, and the decree argues with him and disposes of his hostility. The memorial of Ouojon says that " in a country so vast as China every talent can be found. If astronomy and the other sciences are necessary, Chinese letters will be found by means of which they can be taught." Thereupon the decree rejoins: " Let Ouojen, then, seek for the letters of which he speaks. We hereby entrust, him personally with the duty, and give him authority to open a school, overwhich he will preside and teach the things taught in the Eurcpoan school. The examinations will show at a later time the relative merits of the scholars of the two schools." [ADvEnnsEmENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Culpable Negligence.—At certain seasons, when the very air seems foul with pestilence, and the water provokes disease, it becomes the paramount duty of all invalids to keep themselves and their families in full health and vigour. No wound or sore should now be permitted to run its destructive course—no skin diseases should be al lowed to depress the nervous system, when all such pre disposing causes of danger may be effectually removed by this healing ointment and the purifying pills, without ener .vating or irritating the constitution. When the action of any organ is perceptibly deranged, and its vital power seriously diminished, immediate recourse should be had to Holloway's remedies, which will rectify both external and internal mischief.

Tom Lund was out with his ordinary team, all of whom cantered, after which Nothing More, De claration, and Dear Tom went a mile and a half at a nice steady pace. John Coates brought out a portion a Lord Zetland'op but they only optgred. Geant des Batailles has not been on the moor since last Saturday. Elliott sent Moldavia gently round the long gallop. This horse goes very well, and is greatly fancied here for the Liverpool Cup; he starts from here in the morning (Wednesday). I expect Begum will also go for the Cup, but I have no fancy for her. The remainder of our horses only cantered. MIDDLE EiAll. Oa•Tuesday Dawson's, Osborne's, and Fobert's repeated their former day's work. Those that arc likely to go to Liverpool of Fobert's are Centaur, East Lynn, Louis of lless.e, Castanet, and Frost.. Centaur will be the best from here for the Molyneux Cup. Craven Biennial: Frost. Sefton Handicap : Castanet. Liverpool St. Leger : Bracken. Welter Cup : East Lynn or. Centaur. I fear that we have nothing here for the Liverpool Cup, although Czar may put in an appearance. NEWMARKET. Early on Wednesday morning Joseph Dawson rave Guy of Warwick, Knight Errant, and Vernlain a good gallop with several more of his team ; the last two afterwards left for Liverpool, where the Knight is very likely to be heard of to advantage. Jennings also galloped Dragon, Cerf Volant, Tro cadero, Auguste, Enchanteur, Montagnard, and several more. Mr. Dawson's team were doing steady work, chiefly over the tan gallop. At a later hour Bloss cantered Hermit and Knight of the Garter two or three times very steadily, and gave Rama a long striding gallop round the lirnekilns. Blinkhoolie had a steady canter and two smart spins of a mile each time. Tempest, Problem, and Plunder galloped. St. Ronan cantered. In Gilbert's team, doing a fair lot of work, were Roquefort, D'Estour nel, Claverhou3e, and some two-year-olds, and Boyce's comprised Tregeagle, Courtmantle, and Kingsley. MALTON. On Tuesday morning Amendment, Bright Vision, Mother Neasham, and Skylark were out; the three former were sent through the same amount of work as on the previous day, and looked well, the last named better than I have ever seen him before, and he goes in splendid form too. Southminster again led The Spy and Viscount a finishing gallop of a mile and a quarter, the two latter looking and going exceedingly well. The rest of the team took walk ing exercise, and were looking well. STOCKBRIDGE. On Wednesday morning a dense fog prevailed up to 8 o'clock, and the horses were not out until that time in consequence. Ischia led the fillies Papillon, Cukoo, Lady Grace, Europa, Lady Seymour, Traviata, and the Roe filly about a mile. Summer's Eve was going by herself ; she is the finest filly in the establishment, and a rare goer. John Davis, Lecturer, Black Prince, Lord of the Dales, and Gomera galloped two miles, all going well. FYFIELD. Alec Taylor had his team out on the Clatford Downs, where the following cantered, and after wards crossed over to the Barton Downs : Pintail, Staghound, Dulcimer, Pepper's Ghost, the two Mayenaise fillies, Adam Bede, Captain Kidd, and Loup-Garou colt. Saveruake and Musjid filly only walked.—Sportsman. AQUATICS. THE BRITISH REGATTA IN PARIS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. OFFICES AND OATH BILL. On the motion for tt is bill being committed, Lord LYVEDEN said that a lthough this bill mi g ht t as see m a swell matter, still it involve d a great quest far as the people in Ireland were concerned. Ile consi dered it was a most important question, and it was evi dent that they ought to do their utmost to provide the most liberal measures for the Roman Catholics of Ireland. It was found, in recent voting, that 47 members belong ing to the Irish party voted for the dispensation which it was proposed to give to the Lord Lieutenant, and 27 against it. He trusted their lordships would do the utmost which they could to do away wi t h the great grievance rankled amongst the Irish people at this time. He shOuld move as an amendment that the Lord Lieutenant, should be admitted to dispense with oaths under the provisions of the Bill. The Earl of BENI ON objected to the Bill being passed at all, and hoped that there would be a recons id era tion of the bill. The great question was that Ireland and England should be one united country, and Lord Castlereagh had said that as soon as the Protestant Church was d Ireland then would prosperi t y flow into that country, awl secure more effectually the colonial territories of the United Kingdom, and when they had destroyed t he p resent system they would upset a ll the benefits of the Protestant Church is . He did not think that the Irish people cared about th bill at all, and they would only create discord by ventilat ing these questions. The Earl of DENRIGFf said that at Si r first Rob e thrt Rom eean C at h o li c s were only, in the time of e Pl, just emerging from the suspicion which attached to them. They had proved themselves good fellow-citizenbsi l to a ti o n. c u t r_ Protestant brethren, and he thought thaNtv.tahnyhel greatest ing their interests ought to be considered i o tu r pattutylitqkliuteys.tiTonhewyams icgohnteleergniesdlaytebaust ftttrhaeys thmeiglahntddteepouunrde was concerned, Ho considered u t A ti ps e o t there could ri c ta o ts u hata l y r t i o ph t ei sr b i r e l et a loi ngtyihoeuf test : a ss h ttl3 o °lll'ut t r‘ .

He did not object to any Roman Catholics becoming very eminent in Ireland, and so far he went en tirely with the bill, but as far as the office of Lord-Lieu tenant was c oncerned he thought that was quite a dif fereu t thing. a Viceroy who represented the Sove reign could be a Roman Catholic, it was quite right that the Sovereign should be one. It was against the whole of the constitution of this country, and although he entirely concurred with the provisions of the bill, he (the noble air') entirely differed from the amendment that the Viceroy should be a Roman Catholic. He held a position which it had in our legislature been considered tiLtuuld be held by a Protestant. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of KIMBERLEY spoke in favour of the amendment, and said that as any member of the Cabinet, except the Lord Chancellor of England, might be a Roman Catholic, he could see no reason why the Viceroy should not be so. Atter a few other remarks, a division took place, when it was found that the contents were 55 and the non-con tents 69, therefore the amendment was lost. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS —Tim EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. THE LATE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN. Sir L. PALK asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if it was his intention to take any steps to record the opinion of the House of Commons on the murder of the Emperor Maximilian and his Generals ? Lord STANLEY said that he did not think it expe dient for the house to enter into the lamentable matter at the present moment. Mr. °TWAY asked if any steps had been taken to withdraw the British Legation from Mexico. Lord STANLEY said her Majesty's Minister er ac credited to the late Emperor was in on leave t . and the gentl eman left in charge had peen dirooted not to rooogao tu)y Ciortrumeut. Iliftswas TRADES' UNION COMMISSION ACT EXTENSION ACT. Mr. HARDY moved that the house go into committee on this bill. The late disclosures at Sheffield had ren dered such a bill necessary, and he could not express how deeply he felt the disgrace of such disclosures as bad taken place at Sheffield. Tho disgrace, however, must not prevent them taking stops to prevent and root out such a detestable state of things, and the bill now be fore the house was to extend the action of tho Sheffield Commission to other places, in order to ascertain whether a similar system had not been pursued. Mr. FORSTER said, before the house went into com mittee he thought it was necessary that some expression of opinion should take place. Ito could not express the feelings of detestation and horror he entertained at the lute disclosure. The first thing they had to du was to get at the full extent of the disgrace, and then take strung and efficient steps te root it out for ever. He felt much ashamed that any Yorkshireman could he hired for the perpetration of such cruel assassinations as had been brought to light. Mr. Ovetend, the examiner, had nu doubt done his duty iu conducting the inquiry as ho had, but l e Olr. Foster) could not help thinking that indemnity frcnt punishment had been dispensed with too much libemelity. The com mission had not attempted to make anyone resp niLle fur tile savage and inhuman acts that had been spoken of. lla thought it would have been better to 'lava endeavoured to punish some of the persons so deeply iralicated. He thought that after the evidence of Hallam, i would have been quite possible to have fixed Crookes with the crime. But Broaahead and Crookes had both been pardoned, and the former was now driving a very good trade as a publican. Without making further pardons possible, except under very special circumstances, he hoped the n.ost effective measures would be adopted, and that all further proceedings be conducted with the greatest caution. Mr. GLADSTONE said he hoped some restrictions would be placed on the power of those upon whom any future investigation might fall, and that no indemnity would be given except under the most special circum stances. Mr. HADFIELD expressed his horror and indignation at the disclosures. Mr. BOUVERIE and Sir G. GREY also expressed their feelings very strongly in the matter, the latter expressing a hope that some steps would be taken to prevent such a person as Broadhead holding a licence under the excise IMPS. Mr. B. COCHRANE said when he first brought the sub ject under the consideration of the house, the statements he then made were looked upon as incredulous, but the re sult had proved the truth of all that he had then stated. Mr. T. hUGHES said he hoped, if it was decided that the same sort of inquiry that had taken place at Sheffield was to be made in other places, the house would re consider the indemnity clause, in order that pardons should not be distributed in the wholesale manner as had been the case at Sheffield. Mr. POWELL thought that if the inquiry was to be efficacious the indemnity clause must be adhered to ; but he did not think that all should be indiscriminately entitled to it. If in any inquiry that took place enough truth was elicited to justify the prosecution of some of those guilty of such great crimes as had been disclosed at Sheffield, that the law of the country would be put in force against those so implicated. After a few observations from Mr. NEATE deprecating the horrible system that had been brought to light at Shef field, but that it would not be for the public good to have any further exposure, Mr. HARDY said without indemnity they would never get at the bottom of these horrible crimes, and the fact that they had been in existence for so long a time, proved how secretly matters had been conducted. The bill ultimately passed through committee, and was reported with amendments. (LEFT SITTING. IRELAND, DUBLIN, July 9. Mr. J. Vokes Mackey, Conservative, was nomi nated this day as Lord Mayoroynt w D of as ublin pro posed for for 1868. The present Lord Mayor J re-election. On this amendment the numbers were —for, 25 ; against, 26. Dr. Carroll was then proposed as a Catholic can didate. To give time for his canvass, and p r event the election of Mr. Mackey, eight or ten divisions took place on the question of adjournment, which was ultimately carried. A meeting of the Dublin Corporation was con vened for yesterday to petition for a charter to the Catholic University, and for the opening of Trinity College to all classes of her Majesty's subjects ; 1 o'clock was the hour appointed, but at 2 there were not more than half the number of members required to fom " a holise." Consequently, no business could be done, and the Council luckily evaded an unpleasant discussion. Alderman Mackey and the Hon. Mr. Vereker complained that so many abortive meetings were held ; that the Council talked so much an ho id last so littl sawe.Sir John The Lord Gray, y in s tated that when l Paris, be understood from him that the meeting would not be held, and he would, no doubt, explain why he was not present to move the resolution which was on the books in his name. It was a mis take, he said, to suppose that the Lord Mayor had originated the meeting. The Wicklow Assizes were opened yesterday by Baron Deasy. lie congratulated the grand jury on the state of the county, only 12 cases of crime having occurred since the last assizes. He was glad to say there were only two cases of sympathy with Fenianism exhibited in the county of Wicklow. But it appears from a letter in the Daily Express, from its Wicklow correspondent, that one of these is not a Fenian case at all. The report of alleged Fenian drilling near the town of Wicklow arose through some young men amusing themselves on the Common of Rathnew, having been rewarded with drink and money by the proprietor of a local hotel, whose out offices had been set on fire in the morning by a half-witted person now on charge for the offence. The good results of the Compulsory Vaccination Act are strikingly exhibited in the return of deaths registered in the Dublin district during the past quarter. The estimated population is 314,409, and the total number of deaths registered during the quar ter was 2,173, yet not one of these was from smallpox. Major Esmoude, the late Deputy -Inspector- General of Constabulary, whose tenure of office ter minated on the Ist inst., owing to his most melan choly and hopeless state of health, the result of an accident, is succeeded by Col. Hillier. About this appointment there was no hesitation or delay. But there has been a s ued es eal of controversy about the appointment of uccsor as commandant of the Constabulary Depot in Phenix-park,where the members of the force are drilled, and where the re serve is permanently quartered. Major Hayes, a very efficient and popular officer, for many years adjutant of the Prince of Wales's Donegal Militia, which acquired a high character for its discipline, has been named for the office of commandant. There is no doubt that this would be regarded as an excellent appointment if it were not felt that it interfered with the claims of the county inspectors of constabulary, who regard it as one of the prizes of the force to which they have an exclusive right to aspire. Recent events in co nn ren ection the se with t h e suppression of Feuianism der claims peculiarly urgent at present. Much, how ever, may be said in' favour of the appointment of a military o ffi cer to the post in question, which would certainly have the a dditional advantage of ge tting over the serious difficulty of deciding on the merits of rival candidates among the constabu lary officers. This can hardly be done without pro ducing nearly as much disappointment—perhaps more jealousy —as if the place were given to Major Hayes. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.
