CITY, Two o'CLocK. Continued activity is reported in the discount market, and the inquiries at the Bank of England are very numerous. The supplies of gold in the Bank of France hav ing again become exhausted, the authorities have exercised their right of paying in silver instead, rather than resort to the expedient they adopted a short time since of obtaining by means of an exchange a large quantity of the former metal from the Bank of England. The circum stance, however, has not created much surprise, although it materially forms one of the principal topics of conversation in monetary circles. A further sum of £16,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday, while 70,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for America. The amount of specie to be taken out by the Ceylon, which leaves tomorrow for the East, is £274,681 ; of this amount £140,434 is despatched by the Government. A general advance took place in the foreign ex changes yesterday afternoon. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, a good demand was again experienced, and the sales amounted to 20,000 bales, of which 12,000 were taken for export and on speculation ; prices of all descriptions were well supported, and in a few in stances a further slightly upward tendency was apparent. A meeting is now being held of the New Grena dian Bondholders. A lengthy discussion which is Still in progress has been produced by the report of the S pecial Committee. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Colonial Bank has just been held, when it was stated that the net profits for the six months to 31st December last, after providing for all bad and doubtful debts, was £36,774, from which it was resolved to declare a dividend of 5 per cent. ; leav ing £11,774 to be carried to the reserve fund, which now amounts to £92.714 18s. 4d. The market for Public Securities to day has re mained in a very quiescent state, but Consols have been steadily maintained, narc ely, at 891 I for trans fer, and 89/ 1 for the account. Speculation con tinues exceedingly dull. The New Three per Cents, and the Reduced Annuities remained steady, at 881 Z. Bank Stock declined to 2281, 229 ; the 5 per Cent. India Loan realised 981 1 ; and the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 94 ; Exche quer Bills were heavy, at 7s. to 12s. dis. The operations in the Foreign Stock Market have been numerous, and prices were well sus tained. Old Turkish 6 per Cents. advanced to 73 4 and the Loan of 1858 to 581 1. Mexican Stock remained firm at 22 ; Spanish brought 481 ; the Deferred 411; Venezuelan 3 per Cents. 18 ; and Brazilian 5 per Cents. 991. The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been to a fair extent, and an upward move ment has taken place in prices. Great Westerns, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Westerns, North Eastern (Berwick), and North Eastern (York) have advanced 55.; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and South Eastern, 10s. ; and Caledonian 15s. Eastern Counties, however, declined ss. In the Foreign Market no business of importance was recorded. South Austrian and Lombardo- Venetian, however, were flat at 151. The Colonial Lines were generally at slightly enhanced prices. Grand Trunk of Canada improved 55., Great Western of Canada 55., and East Indian 10s.

THE BANK OF FRANCE.—Last year the Bank of France, finding their stock of gold almost exhausted, and that unless they could obtain a fresh supply they would soon be compelled to pay exclusively in silver, contrived to meet the difficulty by an arrangement with the Bank of England. They are entitled to discharge their obligations ither in gold or silver, as each is a legal tender in France. The value of silver in the market was then, however, rela ively higher than that of gold, and the directors were con equently apprehensive that if they disbursed it to all ap- Plicants there might be a heavy run upon them for the sole Purpose of realising in distant markets the profits thus ob tained. Hence it was considered desirable to buy a certain B urn of gold from the Bank of England. This state of af fairs has again occurred, but under different conditions. The Bank of France find it expedient to pay their notes in *liver, but the operation can now be conducted without danger, since, owing to the absence of demand for China, and the recent heavy arrivals from Mexico, silver has ex perienced a considerable fall, which removes all temptation 'or persons to apply for it for anything beyond the ,rdinary Ilrrency requirements. EXTRAORDTNARY ESCAPE FROM DROWNING. — Last night, at 10 o'clock, the Teal steam vessel, Captain Vegan, which made the last up passage from Woolwich, was about midway between London-bridge and Blackftiars, when a gentleman who was incautiously sitting on the side the vessel, fell backwards into the water and instantly *4ll r. The utmost alarm prevailed, as it was nearly dark at he time, and the vessel had full steam on. The captain, Vith much coolness, ordered the engines to be reversed and IhB vessel was put back a few yards, but as three minutes ' 3 ! 41 elapsed and the man was not seen, all on board con 'ldered the case hopeless. Fortuna t e l y , however, Davi d iltun ing, engineer of the Teal, perceived the drowning man as he rose to the surface near the stern of the vessel, and instantly threw out a boathook, which was eagerly clutched, by this means the sufferer was rescued from death, and t 'ot'ed fr om th e vesse l i n an exhausted sta te at Black tta"-Pier. The passengers expresiseed their unqualified admiration a t; th e e ff or t s math. by the capt.titt arid crew to ,save life.

LAW INT.ELLIGE.NCE—(7his Day). COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE NICHOLSON AND STONE. His Honour was the only sitting Commissioner, and was occupied the whole of the morning in hearing a disputed claim made against the estate by Messrs. Sherrington and Co., of Lyons, for a sum of £9,168. The case was dis puted on behalf of the assignees. The bankrupts had carried on business in a very exten sive scale, as Nicholson and Stone, and:formerly Nicholson, Stone, and Pascal, merchants, Cannon-street. Mr. Pascal having retired, the business was continued by the bank rupts, and the question was whether one proof ought to be admitted against the estate of the two, and the result will materially affect the dividend. The case was proceeding. Th 3 examination meeting was adjourned, no accounts having been filed, but are in course of preparation by Mr. J. G. Bland, Basinghall-street, who status the debts about £90,000, assets uncertain. SIIERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) LIIV AND EQUITY-NOVEL DECISION.-11EALEY V. WARR. This was an action to recover £lO Bs. for one year's clothing and food of an apprentice, defendant being the Mr. Buchanan, for tho plaintiff, produced the indentures signed and sealed, and in them was a covenant that de fendant should clothe and feed the boy. The lad was ap prenticed in 1859, and the father had fed, and lodged, and clothed him ever since; but nothing had been claimed for the first year, the present action being for the second. Defendant said he had advertised for an apprentice, and told plaintiff's father tha the premium was £5O indoor and £25 out-door. Mr. Healey said he was short of money, and defendant offered to take £l5. To benefit the lad defendant signed and sealed with him at Guildhall, paying £3 for his freedom, so that in truth all the premium defendant got was £l2. As to the covenant in the indentures, that was to have been struck out. His Honour—That is an equitable defence, and this is not a court of equity. I will nonsuit plaintiff, who can then try his hand in the super for court, where defendant can plead his equitable defence. Mr. Buchanan—Surely your honour will not do that in the face of a document under seal. His Honour was of opinion it would be the best plan, and nonsuited plaintiff. SECONDARIES COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and Jury.) MODERN MONEY LENDING. - SCANDALOUS CASE. DAMAGES £250.-BUTLER V. GEARNS AND TARRANT. This was awL it of inquiry to assess the damages, laid at £5OO, sustained through the illegal seizure of household furniture by defendants, the auctioneers and money lenders of Bucklersbury, judgment being suffered to go by default. Mr. Henry James, for the plaintiff, said this was one of the most outrageous cases ever brought under the notice of a jury. The plaintiff had a house r.t Greenhithe in the early part of the present year, and required a loan of £2OO upon his household furniture. Application was made to the defendants, and a loan granted for a twelve month upon a bill of sale, interest at the rate of 2i per cent. per month being charged. At the end of a certain period, however, defendants suddenly claimed £229, and put a man in possession for eight days, and the money was ultimately paid, under protest. Now plaintiff being well known at Greenhithe, suffered considerable annoyance, and indeed was much distressed. He (Mr. James) asked for heavy damages, as defendants' conduct was most unjustifiable. Mr. Butler was called, and said that all he received out of the £2OO was £l5B. Defendants charged law expenses (bill of sale), £l5 19s. for drawing up the bill of sale—(sensto. tion)—£ls commission, and £lO three months' interest in advance. (Sensation.) In addition to this defendants' claimed at the expiration of threo months £229 18s. 4d. A man was in possession for eight days. Mr. Denny, plaintiff's attorney, proved paying the money claimed (L 229 18s. 4d.), under protest, and that defendants refused to give a receipt for it. (Laughter.) Mrs. Butler said she was in ill-health when Mr. Tarrant made the seizure. She told him the loan was for twelve, but Tarrant said three months. The learned Secondary said—This was a very extraor dinary case, and defendants were not here to answer it. Plaintiff was clearly entitled to have the £229 back, it hav ing been wrongfully demanded, and, in addition, to every thing the jury could give him in the shape of damages. The jury, after a short deliberation, found for plaintiff for the £229, and, in addition, damages £250 for the illegal seizure. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EMILEZZLEISENT BY AN APPRENTICE.—James Edmund Davies, apprentice to Mr. James Barton, manufacturing ironmonger, of 370, Oxford-street, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with embezzling various sums of money received for his master, in all about £lOO. Sergeant Joy asked for a remand, which was granted. ROBBERY AT ST. DIARY'S MISSION SCHOOL.—William Martin, a young man, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with stealing a ck*k from St. Mary's Mission school Pricces- row, Newport-market. Mr, G. A. Lloyd, the schoolmaster, said that yesterday morning about 11 o'clock he saw the prisoner and a taller man surveying the outside of the school and looking in al the door where the contribution box hung. At 10 o'clock last night, a lad came and gave him some information at his house, and on his proceeding to the schoolroom h • found the clock was taken away and the contribution box had been wrenched off with great violence. He did not know what the box contained, as it had been emptied of its contents on Sunday last. The property was vested in Mr. George Doughty and he believed the Rev. Mr. Chambers, the incumbent. He believed the prisoner must have got through the fanlight by cutting the rope attached to it, and then sliding down a pillar and getting out at the back. A lad named Thomas Lewis proved seeing the prisoner and two others climbing on one anothyr's backs against the school, and seeing one of them pull out a knife as if to cut the rope. He went and informed Mr. Lloyd, and after wards saw the three with two parcels like the clock and box tied up in handkerchiefs. Inspector Holden asked for a remand. The prisoner last week was brought before Mr. Woolrych for being found down an area, and discharged. Mr. D'Eyncourt remanded the prisoner. HEALTH OF LONDON _DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The deaths from all causes registered in London in the week that ended last Saturday were 1,092. The average number obtained from the returns of corresponding weeks in 10 previous years 1851 60, and corrected for increase of population, is 1,220 ; ; and it appears that the deaths in last week were less by 128 than they would have been if the aver age rate of mortality for the last week of June had prevailed. The deaths were to the births returned in the same time in the proportion nearly of 3 to 5. The total number of cases in which pulmonary complaints, exclusive of phthisis, were fatal, was 115, while the corrected average for corresponding weeks is 129. Zymotic diseases were fatal in 260 cases, against an average of 276. Of those there were 75 of whooping-cough, 1 of small-pox 20 of measles, 27 of scarlatina, 16 of diphtheria, of which last 4 occurred in the sub-district of Old-street, St. Luke's. Ten children died from whooping-cough in Lambeth ; 6 in Newington. Diarrhea begins to exhibit, but in a slight degree, the increase usual in the warm months. In the preceding two weeks it was returned in 17 and 26 cases, last week in 32. The wife of a journeyman tailor, aged 25 years, died at 75, Berwick-street, of cholera, after seven hours' illness. The daughter of a journeyman tailor, aged eight months, died at 2, Queen's Head • lane, Islington, of " choleraic diarrhoea," atter 15 h ours ' illness ; and the daughter of a so ldi er , age d six months, at 2, Violet-place, Newington, of " English cholera." Two children of a carpenter died at 17, White Hart-street, Kennington, of malignant sore throat," in a house the drainage of which is reported by the medical attendant as im perfect. Last week the births of 963 boys and 941 girls, in all 1,904 children, were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1851- 60 the average number was 1,662. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 609 in. The readings fell to 29.48 in. on Wednesday, and rose to 29.74 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 60.1 deg, which is o'7 deg below the average of the same week in 43 years (as - determined by Mr. Glaisher). The thermome ter in the shade fell to 47 . 7 deg on Thursday, and rose to 77 deg on the same day. The range of temperature on that day, and also the extreme range of the week was therefore 29 . 3 deg. The mean daily range was 30 3 deg. The highest temperature in the sun was 120 deg. on Satur day. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 66 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 6 deg. The mean degree of humidity in the air was 82, complete saturation bei ng re p resen t e d by 100. The wind was in the south-west till Thurs day; on Saturday, when the mean dryness was 10.8 deg, the wind was in the north-west and north. Rain, more or less, was measured on every day except FrEay, generally in small quantities ; the whole amount was 0 . 63 in. Thunder was heard on Sunday, and also on Thursday, accompanied by vivid lightning; THE COMET.--Last night the eolnet was visible in the north-west hori4on soon after nine o'clock. Not withstanding the cloudy state of the atmosphere, it could, be seen occasionally shining with great igillipey and tra velling with great rapidity, so much so that it could be seen with the naked eye.

THIRD EDITION. SUH OFFICE, Sevan o'clock. EMPE RIAL PA RLIAMEN T. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tins DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. UNIVERSITY ELECTION BILL. The house went into committee on this Uill. On clause 1, Mr. AYRTON said the question arose whether it was necessary or advisable so to alter the principle of voting in this country as to give one person authority over another person's vote in the election of a member of Parliament. He considered the principle laid down in the bill a novel and startling one. He thought no such necessity existed, and that if the Universities maintained their peculiar and special franchise they must suffer inconvenience, and be must therefore move as an amendment that the words "name or names of the person authorised on the part of the voter" be struck out of the clause. Mr. DODSON denied that the bill provided for voting by proxy. The essenceof a proxy was, that a person delivered over his conscience to another ; in this case the person hand ing in the voting paper would be nothing more than the deliverer of the vote at the poll. Mr. HENLEY felt it as a difficulty that a candidate might start at the last moment, and it would not be possible for the voter at a distance to know the fact. To obviate that he might leave his paper, blank or fill up three or four papers to be delivered at the discretion of the party to whom his vote was entrusted. Sir G. LEWIS said the bill before the house ought to be considered a very important one, because it intro • duced a new mode of voting, and thereby establish ing it in the statut, book as a precedent, which would be most likely used as such in applications for its extension to counties, and possibly to boroughs. He thought the committee ought to see clearly the great importance of the subject then under discussion before they decided the point. He thought the gentleman who had charge of the bill had not met the objection of the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets. The bill esta blished a totally new principle, of which he could net approve. Mr. LOCKE thought, if the voting paper was sent direct to the Vice-Chancellor of the Universities, the ob jection would be met. But he must say he objected to voting by proxy, and also by voting papers. Sir S. NOB.THCOTE said he should support the amendment of the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets as he greatly objected to the system of voting by proxy. Mr. HUNT observed that the plan on the bill seated publicity being given to the votes. There was also a provision which gave security against the accumulation of voting papers in one hand. The with holding of a voting paper for any unlawful purpose was made a misdemeanour, and provision might be introduced preventing the voter from signing more than one voting paper. If he changed his mind he might vote in person, if his voting paper had not been previously used. After a short discussion, Mr. ROEBUCK said, if it was provided that one and only one voting paper should be issued, and which only could be revoked by the Personal appearance of the voter at the poll, he did not see that any difficulty could exist. It was exceedingly heard that a poor gentleman, the minister of some distant rural parish, should be called upon to undertake an expensive journey before he could record his vote at the University. The travelling expenses might be a very trifling question NS ith gentlemen of ample means, but it was not the case with poor country parsons with very large families and very limited stipends. Mr. WALPO LE thought the bill, as it stood, was a very good one, and therefor: he should vote against the amend ment proposed by the hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Ayr ton). Mr. LOWE supported the amendment. The house divided, and the numbers were— For the amendment... Against it Majority —46 Mr. BUTT moved an amendment to the same clause, to the effect that no voting paper should be signed until after the election had commenced. After a short discussion, the house divided — For the amendment Against it Majority —s2 The amendment was accordingly rejected, and the clause was agreed to. The other clauses were agreed to, after some amendments, and the bill was reported. INDICTABLE OFFENCES (METROPOLITAN DISTRICT) BILL. . . Mr WALPOLE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was clearly set forth in the two first clauses. The first clause provided that no charge or indict able offence should be preferred against any person unless a preliminary investigation had taken place before a justice of the peace. Thus it would be impossible for a charge to be preferred against any person behind his back. (Hear.) The second clause set forth that when such a charge had been so investigated in open court there would be no ne cessity of going before an inferior tribunal. He had anti cipated that no serious objection would be made to the pro gress of the measure, but he found such was not to be the case, and the opposition to the bill was solely because it was thought that it would lead to the entire abolition of the grand jury system. He could assure hon. members such was not the case. He had made a great many inquiries relative to the subject, and the result was that that grand jury system, as far as the metropolis was concerned, was almost superfluous except in political cases, and very often was undesirable. The right hon. gentleman then proceeded to refer to the opinions of various eminent legal authorities, and also to the different presentments that ha been made N 4 ith in the last 10 years against the system, and concluded by formally moving the second reading of the bill. Mr. AYRTON regretted that the measure had been brought forward at that time, particularly as his hon. and learned friend (Mr. M'Mahon) had moved that the bill be read a second time that day three months. He thought while such a bill was under discussion it was necessary the law officers of the Crown should be present. (Hear, hear.) He was inclined to think that the system of grand juries required some alteration, and he had moved for and obtained a committee to consider the whole question of the administration of the law in the metropolis, which had not yet made its report. He therefore wished the hon. gentleman to withdraw the bill for the present session. Sir G. LEWIS said he should give his vote for the second reading of the bill, as it appeared to him one founded upon sound principles, and one which the house has al: et.dy well considered, and on a former occasion approved. Mr. B. JOHNSTONE supported the bill. . . _ _ Mr. HUNT moved, on the . part of the hon. member for Wexford, that the bill be read a second time this day three months. iii..NEWDEGATE moved the adjournment of the debate. Mr. WALPOLE said he should not oppose the motion. The adjournment of the debate was then agreed to. CHURCH RATES. Mr. CROSS said iti; Tva;onth; paper for that day, and as there appeared some difficulty about getting a day for its discussion, he hoped the Home Secretary would assist him in fixing some Thursday morning for that pur pose. Sir G. LEWIS said unless Government business pressed it was not usual to have Monday or Thursday morning sittings. Mr. CROSS said, in order that a discussion might take place, although it would be rather late, he would, in order that his bill might be placed at the head of the orders, fix its second reading for Wednesday, the 24th of July. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TUESDAY. In addition to the doings at Carlisle and at head quarters, a fair amount of business was done on events not included in the day's programme. For the Stamford Plate, 3to 1 was taken about Maggiore. For Goodwood Stakes as low as 8 to 1 was taken about Schism and 12 to 1 was offered against Elcho. Shipwreck, who has not before had a pro minent position in this market, was supported at 12 to 1. The quotations will show that the Liverpool Cup and St. St. Leger were not forgotten ; but nothing that came under our notice was done on the Worcester meeting.

All good and fine samples moved off steadily, at full prices ; but inferior qualities ruled dull, at about pre vious rates. For most descriptions of foreign wheat the demand was by no means active ; nevertheless, the quotations were sup ported. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at previous currencies. There was little home-grown barley on offer. Foreign qualities, the supply of which was moderately good, ruled dull, at barely late rates. Malt maintained its value, but with only a limited de man 1. The oat trade was dull, and a ll inferior qualities were 6d per quarter lower than on Monday In beans and peas sales Progressed heavily, at drooping prices. Flour was dull, yet no further change eau be reported in quotations. A nHIYALS THIS WEEK. wheat. Barley. Malt. oats.
