MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE o'CLoClt. Affairs in the City this morning have commenced rather buoyantly, the fineness of the weather exert ing a favourable influence. The Stock Exchange markets are firmer, and even the railway depart ment, so much depressed by recent revelations, pre sents a better appearance. The public are evidently more inclined to buy than they were a short time since, and although speculators are sufficiently powerful to " handle" prices to some extent, the tendency is nevertheless in the ascendant. Nor could any other condition of things be expected. The difficulties of the session are nearly over. Foreign politics present no disturbing feature, agricultural prospects are excellent, and the Money Market is full to reple tion. With these considerations there is every promise of greater prosperity, but much activity can scarcely be expected until the holiday season has expired. The lowest rates for discounting bills are 2k per cent. but special transactions are recorded on lower terms, and the demand for accommodation at the present moment is merely for immediate wants, the impres sion being that the minimum will be reduced on Thursday next, or at all events in the next week. At the Bank of England only a small parcel of gold was received, viz., £4,000. The accounts from the principal manufacturing districts for the past week represent that business generally has remained very quiet. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 30.32, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds have advanced 4, to 24/ 25i. Two O'CLOCK. Very little business is reported at the Stock Ex - change, and, notwithstanding quiescence which usually induces heaviness, and the determined efforts of the " Bears" to produce depression, values are not firmly sustained but exhibit unmis takably indications of buoyancy. Consols at the last account are 94 11-16ths 13-16ths for money and the 10th inst., and 94 13 -16ths 15-16ths for August account, showing a rise of i f compared with the latest prices:current on Saturday afternoon. The :New Threes are 94 34 ; Reduced Annuities, 932- 4 ; Bank of England Stock, 255; India Stock, 216 218 ex div. ; ditto 5 per Cents., 110 k 110 ; ditto Enfaced 51 per cents., 108 f ; ditto £l,OOO Bonds, 635. prem. ; and ditto under £l,OOO Bonds, 625. prem. The Foreign Stock Market is very quiet. Italian have all revived -a, to 484 49i ; Greek I, to 14i 15 ; Mexican to 16a ; and Turkish 5 per Cents. to 31i Spanish Passives are steady at 231 ; the Certificates at 15f 4 ; and Russian Scrip at preni. Less buoyancy has been apparent in the Railway Share Market, and, in several instances, prices show a slight decline. Great Western have receded 4 ; London, Chatham, and Dover, ; Great Northern A Stock, ; North Western, ; Midland, ; and South Eastern, 1 ; while North Eastern (Berwick) have improved In American Securities Erie shares are better, at 43i 44 ; United States 5-20 Bonds at 72j 73i ; and Illinois firm, at 79 The Foreign and Colonial lines are without material variation, Great Luxembourg being dealt in at 14 ; South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian at 15i I ; Great Indian Peninsula at 106} j ; East Indian at 107* ; and Great Western of Canada at 14i. Bank Shares have remained very quiet. Impe rial Ottoman are dealt in at 8f ; London and Westminster at 105 ; London Chartered of Aus tralia at 23} ; and Oriental Bank Corporation at 43i, MINING MARKET. MONDAY AFTERNOON.

The announcement that this case would come on again this morning brought together a vast number of persons, principally ladies, who appeared to labour under the impression that the appellant would commence the business of the day with her reply. Much to their disappointment, however, they learned that Mr. Anderson, Q.C., would pro ceed with his argument, founded on dry details of Scotch law, that he would be likely to occupy a considerable portion of the morning, and that he would be followed by the Attorney-General on the same side. At this time Mrs. Yelverton was pre sent, and a rumour began to prevail that an appli cation would in due time be made to allow the appellant's reply on the whole case to stand over until a future day. At half-past eleven o'clock, however, the curiosity of the visitors was gratified, as Mrs.Yelverton came into the house, accompanied by her sister (Madame Lefevre) and other ladies. She was dressed as before, in a lavender silk gown, with black lace shawl, and a very diminutive black lace bonnet. She was evidently very unwell, having for some days past been suffering from a severe cold. Mr. Campbell Smith, her counsel, was also present. There was some little delly in consequence of the absence of Lord Westbury, but at length it was resolved to go on without him. Mr. Anderson, Q.C., proceeded to contend for the validity of the marriage of the respondent with Mrs. Forbes, although the decree was not avowedly for the purpose of es tablishing the validity of the marriage or th e legitimacy of the children. He held that the reference now applied for would not bind anybody, and that judgment bad been entered in such a way that the Court of Session itself could not interfere with it. The Attorney-General having concluded his ad dress on behalf of the respondent, the further hear ing of the case was adjourned till to-morrow at half-past r), when the appellant herself will reply, their lordships deciding that after having given the appellant the option at the outset of having her case postponed on account of the absence of her counsel, and she having elected to argue her own case, her counsel could not be heard in reply. The case was adjourned accordingly. COURT OF QUEEN'S BE` CIS. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) DAWSON V. THE LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Atkinson was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Pollock, Q.C., and another learned gentleman appeared for the defendants. The action was brought by the plaintiff, a nur seryman, at Camberwell, to recover £73 2s. sd. fur loss sustained through the negligence of the com pany's secretary. The defendants, who did not deny the negligence, merely pleaded that they had fully satisfied the loss of the plaintiff by the pay ment into court of a sum of £4O. The plaintiff was examined, and stated that he had been in business as a nurseryman for 40 years. On the 7th of November he went to Bickley, in Kent, mad purchased 1,790 plants, at 755. per 100. These were left at the station, and the plaintiff stated that he would send for them the next day, when he supposed they would duly arrive at the station in his neighbourhood. lie sent six men for them next thy, but there was no account of them, and they were not delivered until the 18th of November, and were in so damaged a stite from the effects of the heat that they were totally unfit for planting. He immediately waited on the manager of the com pany, who advised him to plant the trees, and assured him that the company would compensate him for the loss he might suffer through the delay in the delivery of the plant. Ho did plant the trees, but 891 of them perished, upon which he applied to the company for £26 compen sation, and they sent two gentlemen to inspect his grounds, who admitted that he was a considerable loser. He found out afterwards that his losses far exceeded what he originally supposed, and he made the present claim for the plants which werede stroyed, expenses, and th e l oss o f hi s men's time. Before commencing leg a l procee di ngs he applied to the company for compensation, and was informed, in reply, that as their trunk line was crossed by other lines they did not know exactly how far they were to be liable until they had made in quiries. Witnesses were called to prove the value of the property and the other facts in the plaintiff's state ment, and to show that he was a loser quite to the amounts he claimed. His lordship said that, after the evidence, he xusted the defendants would not proceed furtherin ,he case. Mr. POLLOCK said ho could not resist the evi dence, and would offer no further opposition. The jury then found a verdict for the plaintiff for £33 2s. 5d., the difference between the amount claimed and the money paid into court. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. OLD COURT. - - The July sessions commenced to-day. The Recorder, in his charge to the jury said it was satisfactory that the calendar did not present a very heavy appearance. One of the principal cases that would have to be di sposed of was the indict ments against persons charged with acts arising out of the tailors strike. The law as it at present stood did not interfere with either the masters or the men with respect to combining together for the pur pose of deciding the rate of wages to be paid or re ceived. The masters bad a right to band themselves together for the purpose of determining the rate of wages they would pay for certain work, and the men, on the other hand, had as much right to combine together to decide the rate of wages they would consent to, but when acts of inti midation occurred, then the law came into effect, and it was this point that they would have to deal with. Various acts of intimidation were charged by the masters against the men, and by the men against the masters' association, and it would be for the jury to determine whether there was suffi cient evidence to justify a trial before a public jury. The jury then retired to their room to consider the examination of the witnesses. It is expected that the principal indictments will not be taken during the present session, but some of the minor charges will be taken, and, in the event of a convic tion, and an undertaking being given to stop the picketting system the indictments against the Presi dent and officers of the Working Men's Associa tion will stand over till next session. The Trial of Eedgely for the alleged Leeds Bank 'orgeries will not, it is expected, be taken during lie present session. TILE SULTAN AND MS DlET.—Amongst the nu merous questions which have been discussed in connec tion with the Sultan's visit to this country is how his Ma jesty will manage with regard to his meat, and what the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor will provide for his Mahome - tau guests at the civic banquet. By the Mahomotan law a " true believer" must not eat meat which has been slaugh tered by Christians, since they do not invoke the Deity while slaying cattle for food ; and even if they did, the Maliometan requirement is "to invoke the triune God." A "true believer" can only cat meat killed either by Mos lems or Jews, who, while slaying any beast for consump tion, never fail to offer up a prayer to God. It is certain that the Sultan will not partake of any meat unless killed under tho above conditions ; but it is possible that his Majesty may have brought amongst his retinue a slayer of his own, or will abstain from moat during his visit to the land of the giaours. illeistot and .14f2teter Ca1ed0nian............

His clothes were found in a boat ho had hired, and a reward of £lO was offered for the recovery of the body. On Thursday night two watermen found the remains of the unfortunate gentle man floating at Spithead. Tho body was in a shocking con dition. It is supposed that the heavy saluting, and conse quent concussion, caused the body to rise. An inquest was hold last night. The late John Scarves, Esq., of Exeter, has left the residue of his property to his widow, with a power of appointment over the same by will, but in default thereof it is to be divided amongst 25 cha ritable institutions, chiefly at Exeter. fHE SUN. LONDON. MONDAY EVENING, JULY 8, 1867. MARIE TS.--Tbis day. MARK LANE. In most of the country markets held on Saturday the sale for wheat was steady, at about stationary prices. Barley, oats, and most other kinds of produce moved off slowly, at previous quotations. Throughout the Continent wheat has been held at full prices. Spring corn has been in moderate request. In America the value of produce continues to give way. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day were very limited, but in fair average condition. Although the show of samples was trifling, the demand was heavy in the extreme, and prices, when compared with Monday last, remain nominally unaltered. The show of foreign wheat was tolerably good. The best parcels were held at full quotations; but inferior kinds were lower to sell. Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atten• tion. No English barley was brought forward, and the show of foreign was only moderate. Sales progressed slowly, at previous rates. Malt was quite as dear as last week, with a fair con sumptive demand. Good sound oats wore steady in price, but inferior foreign were rather cheaper. The supply was rather extensive. Beans—the supply of which was limited—moved off slowly, at previous quotations. In peas next to nothing was doing at last week's cur- rency. The flour trade was very quiet. In prices no change took place. The demand for seeds was heavy, whilst cakes com manded very little attention. CURRENCY PER IMP.

There was a full average supply of forsin stock on sale hero to-day ; all breeds moved off heavily at depreiied currencies. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were on the increase, and for the most part i❑ excellent condition. The supply from Scotland was limited. The demand for even the finest breeds was heavy, at a decline in the quotations compared with Mon day last of quite 2d per 81bs. Some very good beasts were received from Licolnshire. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, the supply amounted to about 800 Scots, short-horns,- and crosses; from Lincolnshire and other parts of England 1,250 various breods; and from Scotland, 110 scots and crosses.

Two lads, named Brydges and Williams, were placed at the bar charged with the following daring robbery : The prosecutrix, a dressmaker, named Colville, living at No. 6, Gilbert's Passage, said, on the 28th ult. she had Leen out visiting, and on returning home in the evening, when she got into the passage of the house in which she resided, she found the two lads in the passage. One had a dark larAthorn in his hand, and the other was by his side. Brydges, who was the one who held the light, came up to her, and, pushing it in her face, at the same time struck her a severe blow in the eye, and afterwards by another blow on the temple he struck her down, and she became insen sible, during which she was robbed of her watch, which she had by her side when she went in doors. On recovering from the injuries she bad re ceived, she went to the door and called for assistance. She gave a description to the police of the persons who had robbed her, and on Saturday she identified the two prisoners from amongst nine others as those who had robbed her. The police-constable said he took the prisoners into custody on Friday night from the description she had given. When Brydges was indentified he said he was sure the woman didn't know who robbed her, as she was too drunk to know who took her watch. In reply to the charge, Brydges said he was not the man, and that he knew nothing about the row. The father of Williams said a great mistake had been made in taking his boy into custody, and he was in hopes that some witnesses would be in attend ance to state certain facts which would prove the fact. Mr. Vaughan said he should remand the pri soners, in order that further inquiry might be made. ~Villiams's father said if his boy were sent to prison it would be,his ruin. He was not the boy who was mixed up in the robbery, and the police could tes tify that he was honest and industrious. Mr. Vaughan said, under the circumstances, he should accept the father's bail for the appearance of the boy on the next occasion, as he had not been positively identified as one of the persons commit ting the robbery, but Brydges he should send to the louse of Detention until that day week, when the witnesses required to prove Williams's entire inno cence of the charge would be iu attendance. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STABBING.—Wm. Marks, a painter, of No. 4, Warren-street, Fitzroy-square, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting James Mur dock, of No. 19, Warren-street, by stabbing him in the left arm. James Murdock, a baker, said—On Saturday night I went to put the prisoner out of my father's room, at No. 4, Warren-street, as he was disturbing the old people, when he said he had more right there than I had. I went to put him out, and a struggle took place between us, and he caught hold of my throat, and held me down, hurting my throat. I got up, and the prisoner then stabbed me in the arm. [A certificate was handed to the magistrate, signed by the house surgeon at the University Hos pital, stating that the complainant had been stabbed in the arm.] By Mr. Tyrwhitt—l did not see what the pri soner did it with. I afterwards went for a con stable, and gave the prisoner in charge, and then went to the University College Hospital and had my arm attended to. The prisoner was only three parts sober. By the Prisoner—lt was between twelve and one o'clock. You said of my sister, " There's that in the streets drunk." My mother did not say you had been out with my sister all the evening. _ . By Mr. Tyrwhitt—The prisoner is no relation. He is acquainted with my sister. Prisoner--I live with the family. Did you not say you would throw me down stairs and break my neck ? Complainant—No. Mr. Tyrwhitt (to the prisoner)--I see no answer to your stabbing the complainant. You will be re manded for a week to see what becomes of the wound. It may turn out perhaps to be very serious. STREET OUTRAGE.—Wm. Davis, a paperhanger, of 18, Fladborne-street, Chelsea, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Caroline Howell, of 2, Lancashire-court, Bond-street. The complainant said—l was coming down Oxford-street on Saturday, having walked a little in advance of a friend who stopped to speak to a friend of his, when the prisoner came up to me and said something very wrong. I told him if he did not go ou somebody would give him something, and he replied " I will," and immediately gave me a blow in the eye, and he then struck me again on the arm, and I fell, hurting my back. lam all over bruises like this (showing the magistrate her arm badly bruised). I fell from the effects of the second blow. John Ogilvie said—l was stopped in Oxford street to speak to a friend, the complainant, who had been in my company, walking on a little way. Shortly afterwards I saw the complainant on the ground, and the prisoner holding her. I tried to rescue her, and three or four young men, no doubt the prisoner's companions, came up and struck me. I called " police," and gave the prisoner Into custody. Prisoner—l don't think I could have struck her. Witness—But she has a proof of it. Francis Moore, G 3 C —Hearing a cry of " Police " I went up, and the last witness gave the prisoner into custody. I took the prisoner, who had been drinking a little, but knew what he was about, but was very violent, into custody. Prisoner—l know nothing about it. I had been with some friends, and had a glass. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Women are not to be exposed to insult, and then knocked down in the street. I shall commit you for a month, and that with hard labour ; and I do not know that I ought not to send you for two months. WESTMINSTER. AN INDEPENDENT PAUPER.—William Barry, a tall, powerful-looking man, about 30 years of age, was charged with refusing to do the labour allotted to him in St. Luke's Workhouse, Chelsea. William Coombes, porter at St. Luke's Work house, said that the defendant slept in the casual ward last night, and at half-past six this morning went to the gate and desired to be let out. Wit ness told him he could not allow him to go until ho had performed the allotted amount of labour. Defendant—l had no breakfast, and had no right to do labour. Witness—He asked me what the labour was, and I pointed to 21bs. of oakum which ho was to pick before he went out, but he positively refused to do it. Defendant-1 told him I would do it if he would pay me for it. Why should Ido it without I should like to know ? Witness—lle said ho would do it if he was paid for it, but he would not do any labour without un less you sent him to do it. I showed him the rules, which were printed and posted up, but ho posi tively refused to pick the oakum. Mr. Selfe (to defendant) —What have you got to say to this ? pick oakum for no ono for Defendant --I won' t p only a night's refuge. Mr. Selfe—Wont you ? Defendant—No, I wout. Mr. Selfe—You are committed for 7 days to hard labour. Defendant—And I'll report you when' come out. THAMES. CONVICTION OF RUFFIAN.—WiIIiam Regan, a morose and determined ruffian, who has been re peatedly convicted for assaults on the police, on females, and others, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting three police con stables. George Atkins, a police constable, 463 K, stated that at 12 o'clock last night the prisoner accosted him in St. Leonard-street, Bromley, and said— " You see the that run me in some time ago," meaning that he arrested him on an assault war rant, and upon which he was convicted, and sen tenced to one month's imprisonment. He said to the prisoner, " I only did wy duty ; you had better go home." A friend of t fie prisoner led the pri soner away, and got him home. A few minutes afterwards the prisoner returned armed with a piece of plank 2 feet 6 inches long, and with a largo nail at one end of it, and began swearing at him and abusing him again. Ile again advised the prisoner to be quiet and go home. The prisoner immediately struck at him, and he moved on one side and partially avoided the blow, which fell on his left shoulder. Ile had been in great pain ever since. Another constable named Payne came up, and the prisoner struck at him. After much trouble, and with the assistance of Payne and a third constable, they got him to the station-house. On the way there the prisoner kicked most violently. The kicks fell below the top of his boot, and did not hurt him much. William Payne, No. 222 K, mid the prisoner struck at me, and I closed with him. He kicked me several times on the way to the station-house. George Burch, No. 267 K, said that the prisoner also kicked him. Mr. Paget asked the prisoner if he wished to ask the witnesses any questions ? The Prisoner (sullenly)—No. Mr. Paget—Have you any defence to make? The Prisoner—None. Mr. Paget—Any explanation to give ? Prisoner—No. Mr. Paget—You can make any defence you please. Have you nothing to say ? The Prisoner—No. Mr. Paget said the prisoner had no doubt at tacked the constable Atkins from motives of re venge because ho had done his duty on a former cc casion, and his whole conduct was of an atrocious and violent description. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months for assaulting Atkins, two months for the assault on Payne, and one month for the assault on Bach. The sentences to be consecutive, which would make in all five months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. TII II ) EDIT I ON. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. TATTERS ALL'S-THIS EVENING.

A largo attendance and business particularly brisk. The Liverpool Cup was made the medium of some heavy speculation, which, however, was principally confined to Challenge and Moldavia, the former, for whom there was a genuine commission, ultimately finding support at any advance over 3to 1. For the Goodwood Stakes Jezabol was often mentioned, and in one quarter mot with sup port for some X 300; yet at the close Aggravator had the call, though perhaps not supported for as much money. Guy of Warwick seemed quite out of odour, but Dulcimer met with genuine support. Pakrita at 25 to 1 was in vested in for a "century."

It will exakes - tend over two days, th ere bein g some good st to pick up, that are no t certainties, like Tumbler in the Sefton and Knight of the Garter in the h l is vr la o t u t g e h r to als n o , Biennial (Tumbler could abvocustp in the Knight's absence). w as i i n an t , Tumbler, Corporal, and Knight Errant aro a crack lot to contest the Molyneux Cup, one mile ; and if tho two latter are not in reserve for something better, they will probably fight o u . the finish, Tumbler stand ing a good chance only in the absence of both. Giving the Produce Stakes to Helvellyn, and pass ing over minor, ma tters, I come to the Liverpool c u p, set for Friday, and to find the winner of which a difficulty will be placed before even " post" betters, if Rama, East Lancashire, Moldavia, Czar, Archimedes, Mirella, Acton, Begum, Challenge, and Mrs. Allan give their early backers a run for their money. Others may help to swell the field, though it cannot be said with much chance of suc cess, as Moldavia, from the form she showed in the Northumberland Plate, ought to win easily, the next best iu my estimation being Challenge. Mrs. Stratton may not care for the Sefton llandi cap, and then Skylark will be in fine feather—as may also the best of Lord Westmorland's, Master Willie or Ganymede, in the Welter Cup; Wrough ton in the Bickerstaffe, Bracken in the St. Legr, and Lady Ilighthorn in the Badminton. A FRESHMAN. PREMATURE INTERMENT. —The Journal de Pon earlier relates a case of premature interment. During the funeral, at Montflorin, of a young woman who had appa rently died in au epileptic fit, the gravedigger, after having thrown a spadeful of earth ou the coffin, thought ho hoard a moaning. The body was consequently ex humed, and a vein having been opened, yielded blood almost warns and liquid. Hopes wore for a moment enter tained that the young woman would recover from her lethargy, but she never did so entirely, and tho next day life was found to be extinct. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—TIIIS EVENING. The LORD CHANcvn.on took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE 'BUSINESS. The Waterford and Wexford Barbour and tl►a East London Water Supply Bills were real a third time and passed THE TROOPS IN NEW ZEALAND. The Earl of CARNARVON asked the noble duke what were his reasons for postponing the question relative to . the papers in this matter? Thu Duke of BUCKINGITAII said that his reason was that the papers on the subject had not been received, and he thought it most desirable that the matter should he postponed, that was the only reason that there wasiu the matter with regard to publicconvenienee. After a few remarks from Lord LYTLETTON, The Earl of CARNARVON said that the answer of the noble duke was so enigmatica: that ho must move a substantive motion in the matter himself. THE CONSECRATION OF CHURCHYARDS (No. 2) BILL. This bill was committed, and, after a few remarks from, Lord Portman, which were totally inaudible, and from the Bishop of Oxford, who stated that he considered that the bishop should not be able, by mere signing of his hand, to consecrate a place, but that he should go amongst his people. The object, therefore, was to diminish the expense which enable the bishops to be present, and this would be most satisfactory to the bishops themselves. They pro-' fessed to convey no mysterious power to the land which they consecrated, but they thought it better to preserve ihos.e religious rights which were acknowledged by the country. The question was put whether the words "out of the churchyards" wore to form part of the hill or not. On a division it was found that the contents had it by a majority of 80 to 35. LEFT bITTINO. I HOUSE OF COMMONS--Tills EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. HASTY REMOVAL OF TROOPS. Mr. CARINGTON asked the Secretary of State for War whether it was true that the cavalry regiments who marched from Aldershot to Hounslow to take part in the intended review were left in camp entirely without rations until the following morning ? Sir J. PAKINGTON said the case was not so bad as it appeared by the hon. member's question. It was not true that the troops that arrived at Hounslow with the view of taking part in the intended review were loft with out rations until the following morning, but it was true that the troops that arrived between eight and nine in the morning were left without rations until four o'clock in tho afternoon. (Oh, oh.) It was occasioned by groat want of care in some quarter, and he was using his best endeavour to discover where blame was to b 3 attributed, but he had not yet been able to do so. If the right hon. gentleman would repeat his question on another occasion, and he was iu a position to answer him fully, ho would do so without the slightest attempt at concealment. FEVER IN THE IitAI7RITIUS. _ _ Mr. PIM asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if ho was aware of the extraordinary mortality caused by fever in the island of Mauritius during the present year ; could he say whether it was true that the deaths had ex ceeded 30,000 out of a population of about 340,000 persons; and that the deaths in the city of Port Louis in the month of April last exceeded 6,000 out of a population estimated at 80,000; had he any information whether the virulence of the fever had abated or not; and did ho not think that something was due by way of assistance to the large num ber of p3rso..s who had been left destitute by this extra ordinary and almost unprecedented calamity. Mr. ADDERLEY said it was unfortunately too true that fever existed to a very alarming extent, btit with respect to th r e sum ed of persons who had fallen victims, ho p that the thirty thousand deaths mentioned by the hon. member represented the entire deaths in the island for the year. The latest date received at the Colonial-office was the 2 , 1 of M.ty, when the number of deaths reported was 17,000, 10,000 of which took place in Port Louis. The latest accounts gave no intimation of toe abatement of fever, but as the cool season has set in it was to be hoped that a favourable Omega would take place. Every stop possible had been taken toallay the fever, medicines had been sent out. but with respect to a cont ribution being sent from the Consolidated Fund thare was no precedent for such a step. The Government had no accounts of the distress occasioned by the preva lence of fever to induce them to ask for snail a contribution. A private fund, however, was in course of collection in the City, to which any bon. member wishing to contribute could do so. CHEAP POSTAGE. Mr. HADFIELD asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether the Government had considered the policy of extending tho system of ca postage to all foreign and friendly gover nn.ents will he ing p to reciprocate ia this convenience, and to bear their proportion of the cost of the same; and whether any measures were being taken for such an arrangement. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the question had engaged the cousideration of Government, and a convention had been entered into, by which the postage to the United States had been reduced f rom ls. to and negotiations wore pending for a similar reduc tion between this country, Sweden, Denmark, and Hol land. THE ABYSSINIAN PRISONERS. Mr. 11. SEYMOUR gave notice cf his intention to call the attention of the house, on the 19th inst., to the cruelties perpetrated on the British subjects now prisoners in Abys sinia. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. Tie house went into committee on this bill. Mr. CRAWFORD moved the insertion of the following new clause :—" (Residence of electors for the City of London extended to 23 miles.) That so much of the twenty-seventh and thirty-second sections of the Act of the second William the Fourth, chapter forty-five, and of the seventy-ninth section of the Act of the sixth and seventh Victoria, chapter eighteen, as relates to the residence of electors within seven miles of any city or borough shall be repealed, in respect to electors other wise qualified to be registered and to vote for members to serve in Parliament for the city of London : provided al ways, that no person shall be registered as an elector for the said City unless he shall have resided for six calendar months next previous to the last day of July in any year, nor to be entitled to vote at any election for the said city, unless he shall have ever since the la st da y of July in the year in which his name was inserted in the register then in force have resided, and at the time of voting shall have continued to reside within the said city , o r within t we nty-five miles thereof, or any part thereof." Mr. E. JAMES did not see why the distance should be fixed at five and twenty miles. Ho knew of cases in Man chester where gentlemen resided far beyond the limits, and as they attended their places of business daily, he did not see why they should be deprived of their vote. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should not oppose tho amendment of the hon. gentleman opposite. Mr. BOUVERIE expressed his surprise at the deter mination of the Government to assent to the proposed new clause, because ho considered it was opposed to the spirit of the Reform Bill of 1832. Mr. GOSCHEN said the persons affected by this clause were called upon to fulfil the office of juror and sheriff, and because they wont into the country to sleep he did not see the justice of depriving them of their vote. Tho whole of the interests and thoughts of such persons centred to the spot where their business existed, and certainly not where they slept. They did their duty as citizens, and they ought not to be deprived of any privilege they pos sessed. Mr. AYRTON said if they agreed to the proposition with respect to the City of London they would have to extend it to all boroughs. Ald erman LAWRENCE supported the clause, a s he thought the committee would be of opinion that there were exceptional circumstances in favour of the City of London. The clause was then read a second time without a divi- sion. Mr. EDWARD JAMES moved an amendment to the clause with the object of making the question of distance of residence quite an open matter. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he thought the clause ought to be made exceptional in favour olithe City of London, and that the limit proposed by the mover of the clause ought to be adhered to. Mr. PIM thought a g roat in j ustice would be d on e if that determination was agreed to. Take the case of three partners of a firm in the city of London. One of the part ners lived at St. John's-wood, another at Windsor, and the other at Brighton the clause would give the vote to the first two, but why, he should like t o know, was the latter to be de p rived of his vote? He fulfilled all his duties as a citizen just as much as the other two. The amendment move d by Mr. JAMES was negatived without a division. On the motion that the clause be added to the bill, a discussion ensued with regard to the exceptional circum stances that had prevailed Ti favour of the City of London. (LEFT SITTING.)
