ArONEY MARKET AND CITY IV EMS'. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Money Market appears rather easier in con sequence of the agumented supplies resulting from the dividend payments at the Bank of England. There is a steady enquiry, and the demand for com mercial purposes seems to be increasing, but the 't; rates exhibit less stringency, and first class bills, Which a few days ago could only be discounted at 6 I et per cent., are now negotiable at 51 per cent. A meeting of the share and bondholders of the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada will take place on the 19th inst., for the purpose of re- D ceiving and considering the second report and the ao g proposal s contained therein of the select committee, stool appointed at the meeting held in January last. st sto ock ck A small quantity of gold, viz., £4,000 was sent stccz Into the Bank of England yesterday, but £40,000 stock stock was withdrawn for exportation. stock No alteration of importance took place in the to stoel Foreign Exchanges yesterday. stock Gold is now 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London stock than in Paris, and about 1 per cent. higher here stoo , Btocl than in Hamburg. stock _ _ The quarterly ;ales of indigo, consisting of 12,306 s s toc oc , i chest s , commenc ed yesterday. There was a fair 12 attendance of foreign buyers, but most of the coun- sigeet try dealers have not yet arrived. Compared with stocksoc the prices realised in May, good and fine, and dull stock and pale Bengal, and pale Oudes were 2d. per lb. stool lower, and Madras 3d. per lb. cheaper ; but Ku. 25 pahs was 3d. per lb. higher. stool sC A fair amount of business was reported in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices }ol were well supported. The sales were estimated at stool 10,000 bales. 60 25 At the meeting to-day of the Union Bank of io London, the directors' report, which was .unani- 100 mously adopted, stated that the net profits for the r six months ending 30th June last, after payment of stool all charges (including the sum of £107,511 is. 4d. slo m ci for interest paid and due to customers on their cur- stool Tent and deposit accounts), and making due pro- stoc] vision f or all b a d and do u btf u l d e bt s , amoun t e d to 2l £95,616 18s. 2d., which, with the sum of £30,470 stool 189., brought forward from the 31st December last, stock leaves for appropriation £126,087 16s. 2d. A divi dend of 12s per share, clear of income tax, for the six sto l e , months ending 30th June last, amounting to the g Bu ra of £36,000, which will leave a balance of 1 , - i 90 )087 16s. 2d. to be carried forward was therefore iesiooccii agreed to. stool stool Increased buoyancy has been perceptible in the st 10 loarket for Public Securities to-day, a continuance st, A l of speculative purchases having caused a further stool stocl advance in the quotations.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Wightman.) Jane Palethorpe was indicted for the wilful murder of her child by poison. It will be recollected that the offence was alleged to have been committed at Northampton-street, Somers-town. The facts have already appeared in the Sun. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. THE ATTEMPTED MURDER AT ISLINGTON. Frederick Strugnell was indicted with attempting to murder Ann Redkinson. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sen tenced to be transported for life. He was then, with two other men, named Quilter and Linney, indicted for stealing an iron box containing £lOO, the property of Mr. Higgins, Chapel-street, Islington. :The case was not concluded when we went to press.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FICTITIOUS CHEQUES.—Louis Genesto, described as of the Palace Hotel, Norwood, a tall, gentlemanly man, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with obtaining the sum of 15s. from Mr. Robert Lewis, tobacconist, of 15, St. James's-street, by means of a false cheque. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner. Mr. Robert Lewis said—l have known the prisoner for some time as an occasional customer. Abut six weeks ago he purchased a pound of cheroots for £lss., and on the 20th of Juno the prisoner called on me to pay for them, present ing a written cheque for £lO, drawn by Louis Geneste on J. W. Cunningham, Esq , of King's College. The prisoner asked me for the difference £8 155., which I gave him believing his statement was true that it was a bona fide cheque, and that as he said he was authorh ed to draw on Mr. Cunningham. My son presented the cheque the same day to Mr. Cunningham, who said he knew nothing about it, and that cheques of the same kind to the amount of £2OO had been presented to him within a fortnight. By Mr. Lewis—l only know the prisoner as a customer and trusted him believing he would pay. He said that Mr. Cunningham was his father's executor, and that his father's affairs were not settled. He also said that Mr. Cunning ham had authorised him to draw on him. He did not say that Mr. Cunningham had received money for him as exe cutor, but from what the prisoner said I inferred that Mr Cunningham would honour his cbeques. I have not seen Mr. Cunningham myself. Mr. Robert Joseph Lewis, son of the prosecutor, said— I received the cheque produced from my father. I took it to Mr. Cunningham's office, and a gentleman, whom I was toldlwas Mr. Cunningham, came to me and said the cheque was not worth the receipt stamp on it, and that cheques for 1200 had been lately presented of a similar kind. Mr. Lewis (Inspector Bowles having asked for a remand) said he was instructed that Mr. Cunningham was executor to the prisoner's father's will, and at present there was no evidence to show that there were no funds to meet the cheque. Mr. Mansfield said that Mr. Cunningham could be sent for, but the prisoner would be remanded. It appears that several other persons have been defrauded by similar cheques—two having been presented at Fenton's and the Wellington Hotels, and it is expected several other charges will be preferred. THIS DAY'S gAR.KETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to-day the arrivals of English wheat were much restricted; but—owing to the arrival of American wheat and flour—sales progressed slowly, for the most part, in good and fine samples, at Monday's currency. Most descriptions of foreign wheat moved off slowly, yet very little change took place in the quotations, compared with Monday. The market was well supplied. For floating cargoes of grain, there was a fair, but by no means active demand, at previous currencies. The trade for barley was in a sluggish state, and prices had a drooping tendency. Malt changed hands to a limited extent, yet the quota• ions were fairly supported, In the demand for oats, there was no activity ; indeed, inferior corn was very difficult of sale, and prices were rather lower. CROWN-OFFICE, jury 8. Both beans and peas moved off slowly, at barely late rates. For flour we have to report a heavy demand, and Ameri can barreled somewhat in favour of buyers. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK.

The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Dumfries, Lochmaben, and Lockerby Junction Rail way, and the Hammersmith, Paddington, and City Junc tion Railway Bills were considered and ordered for third reading. HIBERNIAN MILITARY SCHOOL, DUBLIN. Mr. lIAGUIRE moved for a copy of correspondence between the Rev. Mr. Leonard and the Lord Lieutenant, in reference to the death of pensioner James Harrison, and the alleged refusal on the part of the resident authorities of the school to permit the Rev. Mr. Leonard to visit the said James Harrison.—Agieed to. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Col. FRENCH gave notice that he would ask the noble lord at the head of the Government whether, seeing that the present mode of conducting the business of the house was a complete failure, a select committee would be ap pointed to consider the propriety of making some further change in the standing orders. FICTITIOUS SAVINGS BANKS BILL. S' it F. BARING moved that the house go into committee on this bill, which made it a misdemeanour to call banks " savings banks" which were not under the law of savings banks. Mr. W. FOSTER objected' to the bill, on the ground that it would lead to an impression that Government gua ranteed the depositors in savings banks, which was not the case. He thought they ought to postpone further legisla tion on the subject, especially as it would interfere with a great many works which were at present doing a great deal of good. He should move as an amendment that the house go into committee this day three months. Mr. BAINES seconded the amendment. He knew a large number of banks connected with Sunday-schools, managed by piont and benevolent persons, and these would be seriously interfered with. It was said that these would not be interfered with, so long as they did not use the word "savings," but that was the great charm of these banks. Mr. HENLEY opposed the bill on the same ground. Every child knew the meaning of the word "savings," and he could find no word that could be substituted for it. Mr. BAXTER said that there were in Scotland many savings banks conducted by gentlemen merely for the good of the working classes, and for no purposes of profit. The guarantee to the depositors was excellent, and he did not see any reason to interfere with them by such a bill as this. Mr. HUBBARD considered that this bill was calculated to protect those who were not able to protect them selves. Tho hon. gentleman quoted statistics connected with several existing institutions with a view to show that Parliamentary interference was absolutely necessary for the protection of the public. Mr. DENT said that in the town he represented (Sear borough) there were 18,000 inhabitants, out of which there were 11,000 depositors in savings banks, 1,003 of whom were connected with schools. The deposits did not amount to more than £5OO, but the banks were admirably con ducted. and he should be sorry to see them interfered with. Sir G. LEWIS considered that the bill went a very long way in penal legislation. He thought some qualification might be put in, showing that banks were not in connection with the Government, which would remove objections to the bill, but he could not approve a bill which visited heavy penalties upon persons who might have no fraudulent in tentions. After some further discussion the bill was withdrawn. CHURCH RATES LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. HUBB ARD spoke on the order for the second reading of this bill. He remarked that the only measure which had received any favour in that house was one for the total abo lition of church rates, but the majorities in favour of that bill had so diminished that both parties might now be said to be on an equality. It must be re membered that the Church of England was the National Church, but that the greatest toleration should be allowed to all who differed from its doctrines or discipline. No doubt the abolition bill was the first of a series of attacks upon the National Church, and which, if they had succeeded, would have prevented members of that Church from regulating their own affairs by taxing themselves. He was willing to exempt Dissenters from such taxation, and that object the bill he now proposed would secure. There were four main points in the bill.—l. The question what was the legitimate purpose of a church rate. 2. To provide that modern ecclesiastical districts should be formed into parishes so far as church rates were concerned. 3. To transfer all litigation from the ecclesiastical courts to the quarter sessions, the county courts, or the su perior courts. 4. To assimilate the manner in which church rates were collected to the mode in which the poor rates were raised, A clause was also introduced which would exempt a person from the payment of church rates, who declared himself a Nonconformist. He was afraid that he should have no chance of carrying the bill through this session, and ho should therefore withdraw the bill. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. TRELAWNY hoped that no other bill would be brought in this year on the subject of church rates. CLEFT SITTING.] FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

William Randall Mackley, surgeon, of Great Horton, was charged before the borough magistrate with having wilfully made and uttered a false certificate of the cause of the death of Martha Curtis, his housekeeper, who died at his house on the morning of the 26th ult, under circumstances of sus picion, which have been already statei in The Sun. The magistrates consented to accept bail for his appearance. STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, Tuesday.— The continually advancing prices of cotton, together with favourable news from India and China, have increased the firmness manifested last week by sellers, and to-day slightly hi g her prices are again required ; but buyers decline to operate, and keep alo of from the mar ket. The day's trans actions are small, still producers are steady in maintaining their quotations. SHIPWRECK IN THE THAMES.—A small paddle steamer, the Wonder, yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, when opposite Greenwich pier, struck upon a large log of wood. A portion of her keel timbers were kno c k e d away, and water poure d into her hull so rapidly that those on board had no more than time to escape. The vessel having sun k t o th e bottom, the top of her funnel is now only visible above water. EXCURSIONIST S STRUCK BY LIGHTNI NG .—O n Monday morning a large party of excursionist s l e ft C rewe for Trentham -park, Staffordshire, the seat of the Duke of Sutherland. There they engaged in a va r i e t y o f spor t s until about 4 o'clock, w hen a vi▪ olent thunderstorm came on, accompanied by torrents of rain and showers of hail stones, which in a few moments whitened the entire sur face of the park. When the storm began a number of per sons, with a degree of fatuity scarcely to be conceived pos sible in these days, ran for shelter under one of the noble elms which stud the park. They had only been there a few minutes when a blinding flash of lightning, which was in stantaneously followed by a terri▪ fic peal of thunder, struck seven of the party senseless to the earth. The remainder of those who were under the tree ran awe-stricken from the spot, and a considerable tim e ela psed before any one would venture near. At last some of the least timid approached, and, on examining the unfortunate people who were lying on the ground, discovered that one of the group—a young woman named Roe—was quite dead, and that the remain der lay perfectly insensible. They were removed with all the expedition possible to the Trentham Inn, and medical aid, after considerable delay, was procured. Some of the surv ivors have sustained serious injuries, but it is hoped that the only death which will result from the fearful acci dent will be that above named. ANCIENT COINS.—Some workmen employed in felling timber near Whitby discovered a cavity in the ground which contained 126 silver coins.

GREAT SCULLEBS' MATCH. CLASPER AND POCOCK FOR £5O ASIDE. The match between Clasper and Pocock came off yester day, the course being from Putney to Barnes-bridge.; Clasper having won the toss for choice of station, took the inside, or the Middlesex side of the river, and at a quarter-past three the start took place, both men getting a very evenly. Off Searle's Clasper had succeeded in ob taining a trifling lead, which he continued to increase, and in crossing the water he went right a head ; in doing so he ran a narrow escape of losing the race alto gether by nearly fouling Pocock. Clasper gained Hammersmith-bridge in two minutes ane a half, two boats' length a-head of Pocock, and continued to further improve his lead most materially. Barnes bridge was reached in 22 minutes and a quartet by Clasper, who was four boats' length in advance of Po cock. Betting at starting-2 to lon Clasper. The last letters from Halifax state that the Nova Scotia gold discoveries continued to attract atten tion. In addition to the deposits at Tangier, others have been found at Margaret's Bay, to the westward of Halifax, and at a place called Musquodobit, in the interior. Several specimens were about to be forwarded to England, which are believed to be above standard. Some of the quartz at Tangier is alleged to have yielded 20 ounces to the ton, but the various statements made are without corroboration from any one possessing scientific knowledge. THE CROPS IN NORTH AND EAST YORKSHIRE.— A tolerably correct estimate may now be formed of the har vest prospects in this district. The hay crop is proving very light, but where uncut a little extra undergrass is expected from the late forcing weather and thunderstorms. The cereals, as a rule, are light, the long drought of the spring having cramped the plants; but the crops are otherwise healthy and promising. The wheat plant is now in full flower, and a critical period has yet to be passed before har vest. Some apprehension exists of the iil effects of the thunderstorms now imminent, and which on Friday and Saturday discharged showers of rain, hail, and ice over the \Vold district, where heaviest flattening the crops. A very se vere storm, prolonged over the greater part of the day, traversed the North Riding on Sunday,.being of a terrific character along the base of the High Moors. The spring sown crops are very short and thin, the est being tho so wn late in May. These, however, areb backward se mus t prolong the ha rvest. In the most forw ard districts, ,ail and with fav ourable weather, the grain harvest i s expected to be commenced in five weeks hence. Though the corn crops are regarde d as below the a v er age beans and peas are everywhere stated to be healthy and of prolific promise ; and the root crops are looking extremely well in all direc tions. Turnips have rapidly outgrown the ravages of the fly and are now quito safe. Potatoes are everywhere luau • right, aid the yield of the early Aorta is large, AFFAIRS OF TURKEY. A letter from Constantinople, dated June 30, says :—Sultan Abdul Aziz has ascended the throne at a moment when the wonderful fabric raised by his predecessors seemed to have reached that point where the decline of empires merges in their fall. With some qualities that would have commanded re spect in private life, the late Sultan was utterly unfit to govern a great country, and the last four years of his reign were pre-eminently years of decadence. Will his brother prove that he has at once the will and the capacity to arrest the progress of decay? This is, doubtless, a question which people are ask ing in England no less than in Turkey. It is one which Ido not pretend to answer. All I can do is to place before your readers a statement of facts as they develops themselves from time to time, ac companied with such observations as may assist you in forming a just conclusion. For many years past Sultan Abdul Medjid's ap pearance, and what was known of his habits, gave rise to frequent anticipations of the event which was delayed until last Tuesday morning. Under these circumstances it was natural that the disposition and opinions of the heir to the throne should have been a subject of frequent and anxious inquiry. Nevertheless, such was the jealousy with which every movement of Aziz Effendi was watched that, except through the medium of his medi cal attendant and his music.master, all com munication with the outer world was denied him ; and the popular notion of his character was therefore varying and undefined. All that could be ascertained was that he was a robust man, fond of healthy and invigorating amusements, such as riding, yachting, and shooting. It was also known that he took some interest in agriculture, that he manifested a lively curiosity in respect to steam machinery, and that he had at once taste and appli cation enough to induce him to learn music. A strong will of his own he was said to have ; but it was generally supposed that this had taken an evil direction, and that it would one day manifest itself in acts of religious intolerance. The better opinion, perhaps, was that although his sympathies were with the more austere of the Mussulmans, they did not extend to the extreme fanatical party. A strict economy, and regularity in matters of account, distinguished the management of his household from that of the neighbouring Palace ; but whether this was attributable to himself, or to his mother, the present Valide Sultana, did not clearly appear. The• actions of the worst Princes have rarely been suck in the first days of their reign as to furnish an index to their future conduct; and we should not, per haps, allow our hopes to be raised too high by what is now passing around us. Still, events would seem to justify the more favourable opinion previously formed of the new Sultan's character. That his tendencies incline towards the old Mussulman party the choice of Namik Pasha, to which I shall pre sently advert, must be taken to imply. Yet one of his first acts would negative the presumption of a blind fanaticism. Signor Guatelli, the late Sultan's bandmaster, had been in the habit of giving lessons on the piano to Abdul Aziz Effendi. On the day after the accession of the latter his music-master called at the Palace. He was at once admitted Scs the presence of the new Sultan, who asked him to , what he was indebted for the honour of the visit " I have come to give your Majesty your lesson on the pianos' was the answer. " You know," replied the Sultan, " a Pasha cannot condescend to give lessons in music." Signor Guatelli was. thus informed, for the first time, that he had been; raised to the rank of Siva Pasha Marco Bey. His Imperial Majesty's physician, another Christian,. has been raised to the same rank. An Imperial haft will be read at the Porte in the course of a few days, in which, I am told, economy will be proclaimed as the order of the day. It is said, too, that a firm determination to carry into• immediate effect the provisions of thellatti-Huma voun of February, 1856, will be expressed therein.. The practice of economy has, however, preceded its preaching, his Majesty having already dis missed some 1,500 attendants of the Palace, and having announced his intention of reducing the ex penses of his Civil List to 7,000,000 piastres per month—one half of that which proved insufficient for the wants of his predecessor. Some idea of the extravagance which prevailed in the Imperial house hold may be gathered from the fact that there were over 900 boatmen (caiquedjis) constantly employe& The women of the harem, numbering over 750, have been removed from the Palace of Dolma-Bagtche s and their jewels taken possession of for the service of the State. Among these ladies the lawful wives of the deceased Sultan are, of course, not included ; these, with their children, being allowed for the pre sent to remain in the Palace. Ghalib Pasha, a man of good repute and of a liberal education, which he received in Vienna, has been appointed First Chamberlain, in place of Ahmed Effendi, who is under arrest until he shall: render satisfactory accounts—a task he is not likely to accomplish on this side of Doomsday. A number of other officers of minor importance have also been replaced by others, whose appointment gives gene ral satisfaction. But the event which has produced the grs A t es t sensation took place yesterday. The fall of the favourite of the late Sultan, Itiza Pasha, Minister of War and Seraskier, was an occurrence which, sooner or later, must have happened if any serious reform of the Administration were intended. Still, he is a man of considerable ability, and., being Com mander•in-Chief of the army—a position which enabled him to dispense many favours, it was doubted whether the Sultan would venture thus early on his dismissal. This step has, however, been taken, and Namik Pasha reigns in his stead. Mehemet Ali Pasha, a son of the great Mehemet Ali of Egypt, died here a few days since. THE NATIONAL RIFLE MATCH. Yesterday the shooting was continued at Wimble don, with the contests for the Duke of Cambridge's prize and that given by Lord Ashburton, to be com peted for by such public schools as have enrolled. corps. Nothing decisive, 'we are told, has been done towards winning the first named trophy, and the score will not be published till to-morrow. The match between the public schools, however, was brought to a definite conclusion, and resulted after a most exciting contest in Rugby winning the prize by two points. The schools which contended were Rugby, Harrow, and Eton, each of whom sent up 11 competitors. Five shots were allowed to each gentleman at 200 and 500 yards. The match seemed to excite the greatest interest, and the prac tice ground was better attended than on any pre vious occasion since its opening. thus The superb prize is a massive copy of th e Cellini Shield, electrotyped in silver b y Llkington passed to the temporary possession of Rugbyrigzeehiosotlo- We say temporary possession, for, as be competed for each year, it can n eve t r he b eni L e o n m t e i t s h m e property of any school: This arran g cellence would mistake, and far greater . efforts at c p omers for three el roperty of the be school put that forwardheldifitit.a e emed to be some years after gaining it.

On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of :CI 175.10-}d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 3-lOths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
