CITY, Two o'CLocii. The Bank of England return, completed to the 17th July, shows some rather unfavourable fea tures. The stock of bullion has been slightly de creascd, while the Reserve of Notes shows a dimi nution of considerably over a quarter of a million. The payment of the dividends has caused a diminu tion in the Public Deposits, and in the Other Secu rities there is a failing off of over a quarter of a tn illion, consequent upon the easier terms of discount in the general' market. In the other items of the balance -sheet the charges are of an unimportant character—they will be seen in the subjoined table : Active Circulation . • Increase .. • • Stock of Bullion . • Decrease .. • • Rest .. - £20,447,860 .. 290,365 .. 11,578,143 96,156 .. 3,383,112 _ .. .. __ ..

The r e p ort o f t h e S cott i s h A us t ra li an I nves t ment has been issued prior to the meeting, which recom mend a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. About £56,000 in gold was sent into the Bank °f England yesterday. The steamer Mooltan, which leaves to-morrow for India, China, &c., will take out £77,877, nearly all in silver. There was less excitement in the Liverpool Cot ton Market yesterday, but a rather large amount of business was transacted at full prices. The sales Were estimated at 15,000 bales. At the public sales of Colonial *Wool, which Commenced yesterday afternoon, there was a moderate attendance of home and foreign dealers. Por inferior qualities of Sydney and Port Philip the biddings were to an average extent, but other qualities sold slowly, prices generally showing a decline of ld. to ltd. per lb., compared with those exhibited at the close of the previous auctions in May last. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, the dealings have not been of a very exten sive character during the last day or two ; late rates, however, have been sustained for most of the principal staples. Sugars have been in fair request at full values for the better qualities. Coffee has remained in fair demand, and in rice, spices, and fruit, the operations have been to an average extent at about previous rates. Tallow, however, has continued dull both for present and forward delivery. The suspension has been announced of Mr. James Grieves, of Gracechurch-street, in the Australian trade, with liabilities to the amount of about £60,000. The assets consist chiefly of consign tnents to the colonies, and, being of recent date, favourable expectations are entertained. as to the result. The books are placed in the hands of Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co. The stoppage has also been announced of the Monkland Iron and Steel Company, at Glasgow, with liabilities estimated at nearly a quarter of a million. Several of the Scotch banks are said to be largely under advance to the company, but are understood to be fully covered. A committee has been appointed to investigate the accounts. The establishment, 'which consists only of a few part ners, was believed up to a recent period to be 'wealthy. At the half -yearly meeting of the St. Katherine's Dock Company, it was stated that the net earnings for the past six months amounted to £35,025 12s. 1 1d., from which it was resolved to pay a dividend £1 15s. per £lOO stock, free of income tax ; 'Which will leave £1,079 2s. 11d, to be carried to th e n - • ext account. - --- • - The Market for Public Securities is very quiet t "aY, but the few transactions entered into have caused increased heaviness, Consols being 89 1 4 for 'l L ey and 891 j for the account. The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities have receded to 894 n ; India 5 per Cent. Stock is flat at 991 ; .and ditto New Loan Scrip 1001. The June Ex ebequer Bills are 3s. dis. to par.

In the Railway Share Market only a limited "Inunt of business has been transacted, and a fur ther slight decline has taken place in values. Great Westerns, North Westerns, North Eastern (Berwick), North Eastern (York), and South pasterns have declined 55., Midlands 10s., and M anchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln 158. East Anglian, however, improved ss. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remained inactive. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian realised 15,1 ; Great Luxembourg, 7h ; Grand Trunk of Canada declined to 191. a ; and East Indian to 98k.

The arrival of the Bremen puts us in possession of intelligence from New York to the 6th. Congress assembled in Special Session on the 4th inst., and immediately proceeded to the business of organisation. The Senate was called to Order by Vice-President Hamlin at noon, and the newly elected senators from Kansas, Illinois, and Cali fornia appeared, and took the customary oath. There were 43 members present. The Senate did no business on the first day, but Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, gave notice of his intention to in troduce the following bills, rendered necessary by the condition of the country : "1. A bill to ratify and confirm certain acts of the Pre sident for the suppression of insurrection and rebellion. "2. A bill to authorise the employment of Volunteers for enforcing the laws and protecting public property. " 3. A bill to increase the present military establishment of the United States. " A bill providing for the better organisation of the military establishment. " 5. A bill to promote the efficiency of the army. " 6. A bill for organising a Volunteer Militia force, to be called the National Guard of the United States.'" On the sth Mr Chandler, of Michigan, gave notice that he would introduce a bill to confiscate the property of leading rebels in the South, the pro ceeds to be applied to the indemnification of Union men who may have suffered losses on the account of the acts of such rebels. Notice having been received of the organization of the House, a committee was appointed to wait on the President, and notify him of the readiness of Congress to proceed to business, and a short recess was taken. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. IMPERIAL PA RLIAMEN HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE POST-OFFICE. In replying to a petition presented by Lord SHIFTES • BI RY, Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said the recommen dations of the recent committee on the Post-office had al most all been adopted. POLAND. The Marquis of NORMANBY presented two petitions urging the cause of Poland on the attention of their lord ships. Lord BROUGHAM also presented a petition from Stockport on the same subject. The petition prayed their lordships to take aotive steps is obtain access to the corre spondence with Russia during 1831 and 1832 on the sub ject of Poland. He spoke with the deepest regret of the partition of Poland in 1772, and again in 1791, and passed a warm eulogy on the late Prince Czartoryski. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE presented two petitions from Sheffield and Bradford on the same subject. They prayed that an address might be presented to her Majesty, praying her to suspend all diplomatic intercourse with Russia until the kingdom of Poland had been restored and reparation made for the disregard by Russia of the treaties of Vienna. He must not be under stood to back these petitions with his own opinion, but they were very numerously, and he believed very respectably, signed. SECRETARY CHASE'S REPORT.

Lord TAUNTON asked if it was true that statues were about to be erected in the immediate vicinity of that house to Brunel and Locke ? He must not be understood to cast any imputation on the memory of those great men, but he thought the neighbourhood of that house should be re• served for the statues of men who had been famous in one or other house of Parliament. He also thought that it was a mistake to erect any statue not originally contemplated as a part of the achitectural design. Earl GRANVILLE said the chief commissioner had in formed him that he intended to reserve places for 28 statues round St. Margaret's-square. The side facing the house would be reserved for the statues of persons who had been famous in the Legislature, but it was proposed to allow the erection of statues to other persons in the other faces. POLAND. The Earl of HA.RROWBY moved that an humble address be presented to her Majesty for copies or extracts of all correspondence which had passed in the year 1831-2 between the Governments of Great Britain and those of Russia, and of other countries, on the subject of Poland. The noble earl having presentaa number of petitions on the subject, proceeded to observe that the subject of Poland was not only caused by an abstract sympathy with nationality, but the result of a knowledge of the great importance of maintaining an effectual barrier between Russia and Germany. The noble lord proceeded to read extracts relative to the promises to preserve the na tionality and good government of the Poles under the rule of Russia. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tins DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were considered and agreed to :—Aberystwith and Welsh Coast Railways; Bishop Stortford, Dunmow, and Braintree Rail way; Cleveland Railway; Forest of Dean Central Rail way; Hatfield Chase Warping and Improvement; Inver ness and Perth Junction Railway; Ludlow and Clee Hill Railway; Mersey Docks and Harbour Board; Much Wen lock, &c., Railway; Salisbury and Dorset Junction Rail way ; South Eastern Railway (Folkestone Harbour, &c.) ; Vale of Clwyd Railway; and Ware, Hadllam, and Bun tingford Railway, The following bills were read a third time and passed : Caledonian and Symington, Biggar, and Broughton Rail way Companies; Caledonian Railway (Rutherglen and Coatbridge Branches) (Queen's consent, on behalf of the Crown, to be signified.) NEW WRIT. On the mction of Mr. H. BAILLIE a new writ was ordered for the county of Selkirk, in the room of Mr. A. E. Lockhart, who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. INLAND REVENUE BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. W. MARTIN moved that it be an instruction to the committee that they should have power to divide the bill into two or more bills. Mr. NEWDEGATE supported the motion, and said he considered the bill as a sequel to the Consolidated Supply Bill of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He contended that the latter measure should have been divided into three bills, in conformity with the spirit and practice of Parlia mentary proceedings. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had shown great dexterity in regard to this bill now before the house. In the Consolidated Supply Bill he forced through the principles of the charges proposed in taxation, and he had reserved for this bill the details that were neces sary to give effect to the carrying out of the alterations introduced. Direct taxation was odious, but it was when it came to be enforced that its objectionable character became apparent. He believed some of the provisions of this bill were unnecessary, and he called on the house to show that they would not assent to the innovation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in requiring them to legislate in the dog days on important financial questions. Mr. GLADSTONE said the hon. memberdid notunder stand, and misrepresented the nature of this bill. How ever, he had considered the motion of the hon. member (Mr. Martin), and he would assent to it. Mr. HADFIELD contended that by one of the clauses of this bill relating to beer-houses, flood-gates of vice and immorality would be opened for the purpose of replenish ing her Majesty's exchequer. Mr. HENLEY supported the proposal for a division. After some remarks from Sir J. FERGUSON the motion was agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER entered into some explanations, in the course of which he stated that he proposed merely by this bill to obtain administrative powers, and denied that he had introduced any fiscal novel• ties by this measure. What he proposed was only to ex- tend principles that were already in operation. In illustra tion of this he referred to the clause relating to the income- tax, and contended that the only object proposed was to effect a more equal distribution of that impost. With regard to the 43d clause, to which there had been considerable ob jection, though he did not concur in the views expressed by some hon. members, yet he would aban don it, considering the late period of the session. Under the circumstances he trusted the hon. member (Mr. Hennessy) would not press his motion. Mr. HENNESSY said that he did not think the ex planation of the right hon. gentleman satisfactory. He _ _ _ . . (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had disclaimed having introduced any novelty, but he contended that it was a novelty to be required on tho 19th of July to discuss im portant financial changes which should have been submitted to their consideration in February last. He concluded by moving " That this house will, upon this day three months, resolve itself into the said committee." The CHANCELLOR of theEXCHEQUER said the hon. had member not made himself acquainted with the real nature of the bill, and he trusted the house would not accede to the motion, which would have the effect of in juring seriously the interests which he was desirous to protect. Sir S. NORTHCOTE defended the course adopted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but he thought the clauses relating to succession duty should be postponed, and, if that course were adopted, he trusted the hon. mem ber (Mr. Hennessy) would not press his motion. Mr. PHILLIPS agreed with the last speaker, and ex pressed 3 hope tint the succession duty would not be pressed. After some further discussion, in the course of which strong objections were made to the 44th clause, which imposed pains and penalties of a novel character, Mr. HENNESSY said he would withdraw his motion if the Chancellor of the Exchequer would omit from the bill this clause. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was sorry he could not comply with the proposition of the hon. member. The house then divided — For the motion 49 Against it B2 Majority ...... Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to afford the house some information relative to certain clauses before the house went into committee. ' The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he could not conveniently adept that course, and must re serve his explanations until the house went into committee. After some irregular discussion the house went into com mittee. In reply to Mr. HENNESSEY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained that the object of the clause was to enable mithylated spirits to be sold without license, which would confer considerable benefit on the public, there being at present a 10 guinea license imposed on this article, the use of which was ex tending daily, Clauses 1 to 8 inclusive were agreed to. Clause 9, with some modification, was also agreed to. Clauses 10 to 14 were agreed to. Clause 15 was postponed. On clause 16, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQ UER said it renewed the duty on race horses, and did not, as had been feared, affect Ireland. The clause was agreed to. Clause 17 was also passed. Clause 18 equalised the penalty f or selling game witho ut an excise license, and was agreed to. On clause 19, Mr. HENNESSY moved an amendment, which had the effect of restricting the power of dealing with cases of illicit distillation to courts of p ett y session, consisting of tw or more magistrates, instead of one only, as proposed by the bill. Th e amendment was agreed to, a nd the clause, as amended, passed. The following c l a uses to No. 37 were agree& to. Clauses 33 to 40 Were postponed, and clauses 41 to 44 were negAtiTec l • • Clauses 48 to 53 were passed, 44 and 55'were struck out, and clause 56 agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should proceed with the postponed clauses on Tuesdaynext. _ _ _ . - LA ' E FACTORIES BILL. The house went into committee on this bill pro forma, and its further consideration 'was postponed till Tuesday next. The house resumed, and the sitting was suspended at four o'clock. The house met at six, and was [LEFT SITTING.) VICTORIA CROSS. (Front the Gazette of this evening.) WAR-OFFICE, JULY 17. The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her intention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the undermentioned Non-commissioned Officer, whose claim to the same has been submitted for her Majesty's approval, in consideration of an act of bravery which he has performed in New Zealand, as recorded against his name, viz. : Colour-Sergeant John Lucas, 40th Regiment—On the 18th of March, 1861, Colour -Sergeant Lucas acted as Ser geant of a party of the 40th Regiment, employed as skir mishers to the right of No. 7 Redoubt, and close to the Huirangi Bush, facing the left of the position occupied by the natives. At about four o'clock p.m., a very heavy and well-directed fire was suddenly opened upon them from the Bush, and the high ground on the left. Three men being wounded simultaneously, two of them mor tally, assistance was called for in order to have them carried to the rear : a file was immediately sent, but had scarcely arrived, when one of them fell, and Lieutenant Rees was wounded at the same time. Colour- Serjeant Lucas, under a very heavy fire from the rebels, who were not more than thirty yards distant, immediately ran up to the assistance of this officer, and seat one man with him to the rear. He then took charge of the arms be longing to the killed and wounded men, and maintained his position until the arrival of supports under Lieutenants Gibson and Wheelan.

BOW-STREET-(TIIIS DAY). In. accordance with the remand the accused, Alfred Louis Pons de Vidil, was again placed at the bar this afternoon at three o'clock. Mr. Pollock appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Orridge, instructed by Mr. Wontner, defended the accused. It will be remembered that in the former examination the son of the prisoner refused to be sworn, and therefore was committed by the magistrate for contempt, but which committal was afterwards withdrawn, as it was said it would be prejudicial to his health to undergo any imprisonment, and, that being the case, the magistrate gave the young man over to the care of his uncle, Mr. Parker, a Middlesex magistrate, with the understanding that he should be in attendance this afternoon, Mr. Corrie at the same time ad vising him to reconsider his determination not to give evi dence against the accused. On the prisoner being placed at the bar, Mr. Pollock said—l have to inform you, sir, that the effect of the adjournment has been ineffec tual in altering the determination of the young man in refusing to give evidencetragainst the prisoner at the bar, and that ho has been guided to that conclusion solely by his own determination. That being the case, Mr. Ellis and myself, having been instructed through his instru mentality, and M. de Vidil having withdrawn from the prosecution, I am no longer in a position to carry on the prosecution. Of course it is not for me to say what course ought to be adopted ; that, sir, as a magistrate, of course certainly rests with you. The young man is in attendance to-day, but, as I said before, he refuses to give the slightest evidence. Mr. Corrie—Are there any other witnesses ? Mr. Pollock—Mr. Ellis and myself cease to be instructed to prosecute. Inspector Thornton, of the detective police—l am directed by Sir Richard Mayne to ask your worship to proceed with this case as an ordinary investigation. Mr. Sleigh—Perhaps your worship will allow me to say a word or two before your time is taken up with this pain ful matter. Having heard what my learned friend (Mr. Pollock) has said in reference to this unhappy transaction, I have a suggestion to make, which I trust will meet from you, sir, as a magistrate, or my learned friend who appears for the young man, no opposition. The suggestion is, that the defendant shall be called upon to enter into sureties of no inconsiderable amount to keep the peace towards his son. (Loud hisses from the people who filled the body of the court.) Mr. Corrie—lf I hear any further demonstrations of that description I will give an order for the immediate clearing of the court. ma nifestations Mr. Sleigh—l am exceedingly sorry any of the nature that has just taken plac e should have red. The case is one of an exceedingly painful nI Raid on regards the position of both f ather and son. i As case, and id op. a termer occasion, this i 3 a most c:.. - ccp . n l ' n position from my learne d friend. in the case. Mr. Corrie—Mr. Pollock is not now ee t withno I do sincerely hope that my p ro p osition will give satisfac- Mr. Sleigh — As the proposit.iona you, as a magistrate, will tion to all parties , I do hope, sir, that ears t w ill find it consistent with the ends of justice to assent to the proposal. Mr. Pollock —As far as Mr. Parker is concerned, Mr. Ellis and myself withdre w from the prosecution, and I at the same time may sa y that there is no desire to act against the prisoner. The only desire of the gentlemen who have taken part in these proceedings has been the honour and personal safety of the young man. Mr. Corrie--I wish to see the young man. M. de Vidil here entered the witness-box. Mr. Corrie—Since you were here youhave had an oppor tunity of reflecting and consulting with your friends, and I have now to ask you whether you still persist in refusal to give evidence against the prisoner? M. de Vidil—Yes. Mr. Corrie--Vory well. This inquiry is of the utmost importance. I received certain information from the young man, and that was confirmed by depositions forwarded to me from ogler me•gistotes , Witthe iuqAtry had prided I have no doubt my duty would have been to send the prisoner for trial, but the great difficulty is that the prin cipal witness expresses his determination not to give. evi dence. If this circumstance should tend to stop the case, it will form a precedent, and will no doubt find imi tators, perhaps less pure than in the present instance. It he.s been intimated to me that the police authorities intend to carry on the prosecution, but it is a matter of much regret that there is yet no public prosecutor appointed in this country. If ever there was a case in which the executive ought to am. pear it is one like the present, and I don't think I ought to act as magistrate, prosecutor, and attorney in it. I shall therefore remand the prisoner until Monday next, in order to afford me an opportunity of consulting with the Secre tary of State as to whether he intends to take up the prose cution. I have some hesitation how to deal with the young man, but if I can be sure of his attendance again on Mon day, I should not object to his remaining with his friends until that day. If I let you accompany your friends, will you appear here again on Monday ? M. de Vidil—l cannot guarantee that I shall speak the truth. Mr. Corrie —I asked you if you would appear. M. do Vidil—l will appear. The prisoner was then formally remanded until Monday at three o'clock. Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, then bound M. de Vidil over in the sum of .£l,OOO to appear on Monday. M. de Vidil—Not conditional that I give evidence. Mr. Burnaby—That you appear in court. M. de Vidil--Very well. I will be here. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. The crowd, both inside and outside the police court, was tremendous. STAM.E O.RD RA CES.—(This Day.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) CLIFDEN CUP: Suburban Sawcutter Twelve ran.

Yesterday evening Mr. Roberts, one of the prin cipals in this most mysterious encounter, died of his injuries at Charing cross Hospital. When this unfortunate gentleman was first admitted little if any hopes were entertained of his recovery, or even of his surviving through the night. The fearful nature of his wounds and the nervous shock which followed on them made his death appear almost certain. Nevertheless, strong restoratives were administered, and, contrary to the expectation of his medical attendants, the patient at last rallied and regained his senses. From that time until yesterday he continued to progress, though so ex tensive were the fractures of the skull, and so dreadful the lacerated scalp wounds, that none could tell from day to day which would be his last, nor say that there was hope of his complete re covery. We believe Mr. Roberts was not a very tractable patient with regard to the remedies which his medical attendants thought necessary: He, however, after the second day was perfectly sensible, and Could communicate all his wants to those about him. But with regard to the cause or causes of the late desperate affray he would answer nothing, and maintained an obstinate silence to the last whenever the subject was alluded to. The day before yesterday he was going on very favourably, and passed an unusually quiet night. Dr. Canton saw him as early as eight o'clock yesterday morn ing, when he seemed to have done very well. Be tween half-past nine and ten, however, there were very sudden symptoms of a change for the worse, apparently as if inflammation of the brain had set in. This change, though marked and alarming, was not of long continuance, and towards mid day he seemed rather better till- after one o'clock, when it became evident that he was fast dying. When admitted to the hospital the de ceased had a terrible fracture of the right temple, but, as there was no depression of the bones, it was, of course, not meddled with. When the alarming symptoms set in, after one o'clock yesterday, Dr. Canton at once determined as a last chance to re move these broken pieces. The operation was ac cordingly performed, and three or four large frag ments of the bone were removed. This gave no relief, and it was at once seen that the end was merely a question of an hour, more or less. His relatives, who were summoned on the first fatal in dications setting in, were with him up to his death, which took place almost without suffering soon after six o'clock yesterday evening. He was quite insensible for some long time previous to his death, so that it was useless attempting to realise the ex pectations entertained that he might, in his last moments, throw some light on this extraordinary mystery. The statements that Major Murray is fast pro gressing towards convalescence are quite prema ture. He is going on well, but this is the very utmost that can be said as yet ; for he is now, and has been since his admission to the hospital, in almost as critical a condition as Mr. Roberts was till his death yesterday. The bullet itself inflicted a deep and dangerous wound in the throat, and Dr. Canton was obliged to perform a very formidable operation to extract it. Even progressing as he has done, some days must elapse before Major Murray can be considered out of danger. In the meantime the police, under Mr. Superin tendent Durkin and Inspector Mackenzie, are busied night and day in endeavouring to elucidate this affair. The greater part of the immense mass of documents, notes, and papers in the deceased's room have been carefully examined, and we believe we are now justified in saying that from these and other sources a clue to this mystery has been ob tained. It is not likely, however, that the nature of the suspicions entertained will transpire even et the inquest to be held on the body of Mr. Roberts. It was not thought advisable last night to inform Major Murray of the death of his antagonist or assailant.
