The progress of business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has been moderately active, although no public sale of importance took place yesterday, in con sequence of the absence of many of the powerful operators at Ascot. Sugar has lully sustained pre vious rates, while in coffee, rice, tea, fruit, and spices, there'is no change of importance to record in values The tallow market has continued dull, and quotations for both present and forward delivery have shown a slight downward movement. The Stock Exchange will be closed to-morrow, by order of the committee, on account of the Queen's birthday. At the eleventh annual general meeting of the shareholders of the London Chartered Bank of Australia, the accounts submitted showed that, after making allowance for bad and doubtful debts, there remained to the credit of profit and loss the sum of £52,492, out of which the directors recom mended that a dividend be declared for the half-year of 4 per cent., free of income-tax, amounting to £40,000, and that a sum of £5,000 be placed to the reserve fund, making a total of £45,000, and leaving to be carried to next account a balance of £7,492.

The general discount market presents a rather easier appearanoe owing to the diminution in the demand for money, usual immediately after the 4th, and the brokers now evince more disposition to negotiate first-class three months bills, at 3L per cent.

Mr. John Gillespie, of the firm of Gillespie, Churchill, and Co., has joined the beard of the English and Scottish Marine Insurance Company. Subjoined is our usual analysis of the weekly return issued by the Bank of England authorities. It will be observed that both the discount operations of the establishment and the Government deposits have been somewhat largely increased. In the former the augmentation is due to the close approxi mation of the rates in the general market to that of the Bank, and in the latter to the revenue payments, which are now being actively collected : Active Circulation .. • • .. £20,468.365 Increase .. 94,625 Bullion .. .. • • • . • . 14,42.5,553 Decrease .. 74,466 Rest .. • • • • • • • . 3,129,368 Decrease 27958 Public Deposits • • , • . • . 8 779,387 Increase .. 777,041 Other Deposits.. .: 13,896450 Increase 53,732 Seven Day and other Bills .. • • 541,027 Increase • • 4,948 Government Securiti es 11,151395 HONEY MARKET ,E PLIARKE ORDINARY SHARES Share' Railways.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY NVENING, JUNE 5, 1863. BOW-STREET. By Mr. Lewis—l have never seen the prisoner write. I have only seen the battalion orders written by him as posted about the town and at the Lion Hotel, Dorking. Mr. Henry—That is scarcely enough, but the point is not of great importance. _ _ _ Mr. Pollard—That is the case for the prosecution. I have now, sir, to ask you to commit the prisoner under the 24th and 25th of Vic., c. 100, sec. 49, 52, and 54 ; the penalty incurred being 14 years' penal servitude. Mr. Lewis—With reference to the more serious of the charges against the prisoner, I will only say that I shall have an answer to them at the proper time, if you, sir, in tend to send the case for trial. With reference to the minor charges the prisoner will reserve his defence. The prisoner was then fully committed to Newgite for trial upon each of the six charges preferred against him. Mr. Henry inquired if the Solicitor to the Crown had re ceived any communication in reference to a previous charge of the same nature that had been preferred against the pri soner at Marlborough -street about three years ago. Police-constable, 325 A, said—On Oct. 30 he had the prisoner in charge for indecently assaulting a married woman. The warrant was issued by Mr. Beadon, the magistrate then sitting. The name the prisoner then gave was "Frederick James," and said that he lived in Totten ham-court.road, but, on inquiry, it turned out to be a false address. Mr. Lewis objected to the particulars of the charge being stated. Mr. Henry (to witness)—l told you when you were here last week to put yourself in communication with the soli citor of the Treasury. Why did you not do so ? Witness—l have been in communication with Mr. Mac kenzie, and have been under his direction ever since. I have made every effort to find the original warrant, but have not yet sueceeded in doing so. Inspector Mackenzie said he served the female by whom the complaint was made on that occasion with a summons to attend here to-day, and she is now in court. • Mr. Pollard then called the witness—She said her name was Ann Graham. She resided at Bayswater, and her husband was a sweep. I preferred a charge against the prisoner at Marlborough-street Police -court. A warrant was issued, but I consented to settle the case on receiving £5 Mr. Lewis contended this could not be used in evidence against the prisoner. Mr, Ilknry said when the constable was here, he said £25 were paid. The constable satd he believed some of the persons con nected with the case received a portion of the money. The amount paid on the occasion was £25. Mr. Lewis said he wished it to be distinctly understood that on that occasion he was not concerned for the prisoner, and that he knew nothing about the payment of any money• None of their firm were engaged in the matter. The inquiry then closed, no application being made for bail. Colonel Cole attended, and had an interview with the prisoner in his cell, but he was not examined, The prisoner exhibited the utmost indifference throughou the whole proceedings. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BIRDNESTING AND DAMAGING THE TREES IN HYDE PARR. James Luby, a lad, was charged before Mr. Knox with wilfully damaging the trees in Hyde-park. Fredk. Holmes, Hyde-park constable No. 30, said that while near the playground by the Magazine Barracks, Hyde-park, the previous afternoon, his attention was called by a gentleman to the prisoner who was up a tree breaking off several branches. He called to the prisoner to come down and he did so, in his descent breaking off several more branches. Mr. Knox laid he supposed the prisoner was birdnesting, Holmes said that was the case ; and the practice had be• , come a great nuisance. Mr. Knox said he was aware of the monstrous nuisance, and that many of those trees which were the delight of visitors to the park, were sadly cut about by boys. It was a thing that must be put a stop to, and he should order the prisoner to pay the damage 2s, 6d. and a fine of ss. or seven days. AN ARCHITECT CHARGED WITH MISCONDUCTING HIMSELF.-Mr. John Child, architect, of Albion-row, Albion-street, Leeds, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and indecently behaving himself. Adams, 222 C, said that while on duty in Leicester square near the Alhambra Palace about 12 o clock the pre vious night, his attention was called by a lady, who said a gentleman was misconducting himself a little further on. He went up and found the defendant drunk, with his clothes in a state of disorder and his person exposed, the visitors to the Alhambra leaving at the time. On the defendant refusing to move away he took him into custody. Defendant denied the charge, and said he was not drunk. Sergeant Collings, 16 C, said that he was at the Vine street station when the defendant was brought in charged with being drunk and misconducting himself. The de • fondant was drunk, and also two companions who came to the station. The defendant said that only one companion went to the station. Another afterwards came from the Saracen's Head Hotel, where he was stopping, and brought the land lord, who bailed him. He never used an indecent word or expression, and only went to the place for a necessary pur pose. Mr. Knox said he believed the sergeant, and also thought that he (the defendant) did not quite know what he was about, and that had he been himself he would not have done it. The defendtmt was then fined 10s., or seven days. The defendant left the court very disasatistied at the charge being made. THAMES. A VERY UNNEIGHBOURLY PROCEEDING.—Mr. Middle ton, who said he had been in business 33 years as a watch maker, coal, merchant, and earthenware, dealer, in the Commercial road, Stepney, and who was for several years a member of the vestry of Mile-end Old Town, came before Mr. Woolrych to complain of the conduct of a man named Birch, his next door neighbour, who had published a libel concerning him, which was likely to do him considerable injury. Mr. Middleton said he was now an auctioneer, and car ried on a legitimate business. There were frequent sales in his aucti , n-room, and his next door neighbour had pub lished a large placard with the following words, in large red letters upon it, " Notice to the public, beware of mock auctions." There was also an engraving of a man's hand with the index finger pointing towards the tale room, so that no one passing along the road could mistake its meaning. Mr. Woolrych said—lf the libel was false and scandalous and liable to lower Mr. Middleton in the estimation of the public, an action could be maintained in one of the superior courts at Westminster for damages. Mr. Middleton--I have already sustained considerable loss and inconvenience by the publication of this foul and malicious libel. Mr. Woolrych—Then hi ing your action.

Mr. Pollard said his worship would remember that the case had been remanded to afford the police an opportunity of identifying the prisoner. Since that day, Inspector Mackenzie, whose labours throughout the case had been most unremitting, had discovered the required information, and had summoned two witnesses by whom it would: be shown, beyond all doubt, who and what the prisoner was. Other witnesses were present, but the evidence of one would of course be sufficient. Mr. John Page was then examined. He said—l am superintendent of the Surrey constabulary, residing at Dorking. I know the prisoner perfectly well. His name is Arthur Robert Willoughby Wade. He resides at Dork ing, and he is adjutant of the 3d Surrey Rifle Volunteers. Mr. Henry (to witness)—Does the prisoner hold any commission in the army ? Witness—l don't know, your worship. Mr. Henry —Has he ever been in her Majesty's service ? Witness—l have heard so, but I cannot say for certain. Mr. Henry —Are you acquainted with his hand • writing ? Witness—l have seen him write, but I cannot speak with certainty to it. The letter which the prisoner wrote to Colonel Cole at the police-station when he was first apprehended was then handed to witness. Mr. Henry— Do you know the handwriting of the letter ? I may tell you before answering, witnesses are not required to swear positively to handwriting, They are only asked to express a belief. Witness—l can only say it resembles the prisoner's very much. —This Day. THE ELE Ain-lst Circumscription, Count Leopold Lehon, Go vernment candidate -2d Count de Jonage, M-3d, M. Bodin, M.

COMMITTEE, THE LISBUR: The select committee appointed by the House of Commons to inquire into the allegation that Mr. John Dogherty Barbour was unduly returned for Lisbon at the last election met yesterday for the first time. The committee consists of the following members :—Mr. Evans (chairman), Mr. Booth, Mr. W. E. Forster, Viscount Enfield, and Viscount Curzon. The petition was read, alleging bribery, intimidation, &c. Sir F. Slade and Mr. Cooke appeared for the peti tioners; Mr. Phinn, Q.C„ and Mr. Coleridge for the sitting member. Sir F. Slade, in opening the case for the peti tioners, reverted to several cases wherewith he said he should prove his case; he would not go into the details as they would be laid before the committee seriatim. He would mention the case of Thomas Jeffyrson, who was seen by the sitting member on the 10th Feb. last, and was promised by him double any amount the rival candidate might offer. Mr. Young, a spirit merchant, said to Jeffyrson, " Bar bour does not care a button what he does if you will vote for him." He then offered him (Jeffyrson) £4O, by marking 40 on the palm of his hand—a language which, although not audible, was very expressive. Mr. Cooke called Mr. James Richard Naber, from the Crown-office, who produced the return for the last election. The poll-books were also pro duced. Mr. Phinn, Q.C., said his learned friend must first of all prove to the committee that this was a bona fide petition, or else he had no locus standi. Mr. Charles Murray Allen was then sworn. He proved witnessing the signing of the petition by the petitioners. Mr. More was also present when the petition was signed. Samuel Thomas Cumming was the first witness called. He said—l occupy lands and carry on the business of a farmer at Lisburn. About eleven days before the election John Lovery, whom I knew to belong to Mr. Barbour's party, came to my house, and said he wanted to speak to me. He said he would give me £lO if I would vote for Barbour. He said he was going to Henry Major, but would be back again. He came back and took my mother and wife into an adjoining room, and as I afterwards learnt, he gave them some money. Ido not know what that was. John Lovery was with my wife and mother for about 15 minutes. When he came out he told me he wanted me to go with him. He then told me he had given some money for me to go along with him. He took me to Hilden, to the factory of Messrs. William Barbour and Sons. We went in a car. There was another man in the car with us, a man-servant to Mr. Henry Major. When we reached the factory he took me into an office where there were a number of voters. Amongst them were William Brady, Charles Maguire, Jas. Turtle, Michael Wood, and Robert Miller. They were singing, dancing, eating, and fiddling, which they kept up all night. The eatables they had were brought to us in carts. They were the carts belong ing to Messrs. Barbour and Sons. Brown, Chapman, and Gwinn, the clerks to Messrs. Barbour, came in after supper. There were no beds there. I slept on a form. A talk was raised as to my right to vote by those present. I spoke to Mr. T. Barbour, and I asked him to let me go home, as I had no right to vote. He said "I was well enough where I was." A man named Johnson said he was not well and wanted to go home, but they would not let him. A man named Grissy was carried away by force by his wife. The place where we were wa s guarded at night by men who had loaded guns and who kept watch in the yard. Some of us tried to get out of the window, but they would not let us, and they nailed it up. That was about eight feet above the ground. The window was nailed up by the parties who served out the meat and drink. I saw a man named Young, a voter, in the office. We were kept in that office till the day before the poll ing. I told them that my vote was no good. They said I should poll, "No matter what the devil was the consequence." When we left there we were taken to the Queen's Arms Hotel to the committee. I was placed in a room at the back of the house. That was on Friday, the 20th. I remained at the Queen's Arms till the next morning. There were between fifty and sixty voters there. There we had singing and dancing and drinking. There were no ladies there. We had whisky and porter. I saw Mr. Smith, lawyer, there. I saw Mr. Robert Barbour there, too, and I spoke to him, and said I wanted to go home, as I had a sick mare I wanted to attend to, He said he wanted me to vote for his brother. I told him I had not changed my clothes all the time I had been detained. He sent for some clothes for me. He bought me a pair of trousers, waistcoat, and several other articles of clothing, which I put on. John Lovery was there, placing the voters in two's to go to the poll, to" belly" as it is called. There were soldiers there to keep the line for people going to the poll. I said to John Lovery, I was of no use, He replied that he would " knock my eye out." At the hustings I was asked to swear that I was a person entitled to vote. I said the oath was too hard for me, so I would not take it. (Laugh ter.) When I got home my mother gave me £lO, which John Lovery had given her. Cross-examined by Mr. Phinn, Q.C.--I have known John Lovery for many years. I was never canvassed by the otherside. It was half-past eleven o'clock in the day when I was forced up the street. I did not cry out, because I thought no one would come to my assistance. I did not go to any magistrate to complain of my being detained at Hilden for 11 days. The first person I told was Mr. M'Lean, an attorney's clerk. I got him to write a letter for me for compensation for the loss of my mare, which had died during my detainment, but I got no answer. Robt. Cumming, brother to the last witness, gave corroborative evidence. Cross-examined by Mr. Phinn, Q.C.—I did not go to a magistrate about the detention of mybrother. Mrs. Anne Cumming, wife of Thomas Cumming, deposed to Lovery paying her mother-in-law £lO. Mr. John Pennington, solicitor, was then called, sworn, and examined by Sir F. Slade—He said he resided at Lisburn. He had in his possession a decree against John Macintyre, who was at that time an elector of Lisburn. Witness knew he was busying himself in the election for Mr. Barbour, He told witness he was engaged on the part of Mr. Barbour. The money Macintyre owed him was about £29. As he would not pay, he (witness) had him arrested. Mr. Brown came to witness, and said he would settle with him for Macintyre, Mr, Brown is, he believed, the chief clerk of Messrs. Barbour. Upon Brown settling with him "Macintyre was released. By Mr. Phinn, Q.C.—This transaction was quite open. The money was paid in his (witness's) office. James Bannister was then called, sworn, and examined by Sir F. Slad e—He said he voted for Mr. Verner. Mr. John Dogherty Barbour called upon witness and asked him for his vote. He did not give a direct or satisfactory answer. He said Mr. Major would "be as big with him as any one else." He did not make any promise. A day or t vvo after, Robert Barbour called upon him and asked him for his vote. He still refused. He told Bar bour he had had an offer of £5O. Barbour then said he would give him £6O, or any sum witness liked to name. The committee then adjourned.

THE DUCHY OF CORNWALL MANAGEMENT BILL. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said, before the adjourn. ment for the Whitsuntide holidays, the second reading o this bill was taken with the understanding that any dis cussion on the measure might be taken on the motion for going into committee. In order that the property of the Prince of Wales might be managed on the most advantageous manner a committee of the Council to whom the care of it was confided sat, and their deliberation. resulted in a report, and it was to carry out the recom mendations of the Council that the present bill was proposed. The property of the Prince of Wales was held under a most remarkable grant by Edward 111., in f avour o f hi s son the Black Prince —.and the great desire of the King seemed to be to make the property inalienable, and the greatest difficulty was oc casioned by such a proceeding. By one of the provisions of the charter the Prince of Wales had no power to grant leases beyond one life, and in the reign of their Majesties George and William IV. the arrangement produced the most inconvenient results. Towards the close of the last century the income derivable from the property of the Prince of 'Wales averaged about £16,000, but on the accession of her Majesty he believed it amounted to about £ll,OOO. A few days after the birth of his royal highness, a Duchy Council met and deliberated as to the best means of improving the property, and in 1844 an act was passed which improved the estate very largely, so that instead of £16,000 per annum, it produced about £50,000. The noble duke then highly eulogised the exertions of the late Prince Consort in his endeavours to improve the property, and said the main objects of the present bill were to abolish fines on the renewals of the leases, and that for the future no lease for land should be granted by the council for a period longer than 31 years, whilst that for houses was not to exceed 99 years. The bill, he thought, was calculated to lead to the best results, and therefore he hoped their lordships would give their ap proval to it. The noble duke concluded by moving that the house go into committee on the bill. Lord BROUGHAM bore tribute to the great ability of the late Prince Consort as President of the Council of the Duchy of Cornwall. After a short conversation ; their lordships went into Com. mittee on the bill. (LEFT SITTING.) ROUSE OF COMMONS.---This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. LISBURN E LE CTION.—B RIBERY AND CORRUP TION.--A VOID ELECTION. Mr. EVANS brought up the report of the committee appointed to try the merits of the petition against the return of John Doherty Barbour. The committee declared that he was not duly elected a burgess to serve in the present Parliament; that the last election was a void election ; and further, that Mr. John Doherty Bar bour, by himself and his agents, were guilty of bribing and treating ; that a person named Corrie was in duced by one of his agents to personate his father, a voter, who died in September last, and that another voter named Bannister was bribed by a payment of L5O. The report was laid on the table. The following bills were read a third time :—Ashboume, Sudbury, and Yoxall Bridge, and Uttoxeter and Calling wood Road—Stirling's Estate.

Committee of Council on Education when the report of Council onEducation would be distributed ; and whether it was the intention of Government to propose the vote for education before members had had ample time for consi • deration of the report ? MI. LANE replied that the report would be presented in. the course of next week. In the present state of public business he could not postpone the bill, but ample tune would be given for its consideration. Lora J. MANNERS asked GREECE the First Lord of the Treasury whether the vote of the lonian Chambers upon the proposed cession of the Seven Islands to Greece was to be taken before the consent of the Powers of Europe, assembled in Congress, to that cession had been obtained; whether the Congress was to be confined to the Powers who were signatories of the Treaties of 1815, or whether it was to comprise all the Powers of Europe, including Turkey ; Whether, in the event of Turkey not being invited to at tend the congress, any communication would be addressed to the Sublime Porte on the subject : And whether the consent of all, or only of the majority of the assembled in congress, would be required to authorise the cession? Lord PALMERSTON replied that the islands could not be ceded without the consent of the Great Powers who were parties to the treaty. Only those who were parties to the treaty would have a voice in the matter. Turkey was not one of those Powers ; and would, therefore, have no voice in the proposed cession. Lord J. MANNERS asked, in the event of there being a difference of opinion between the Great Powers if the opinion of a majority would be ad o pt e d ? Lord PALMERSTON replied that the question included matters of international law.

On the m o ti on f or go i ng i n t o committee of supply, Mr. B. COCHRANE rose to move that, for the sake of obtaining greater unity of design in our publie build ings, and w ith a view to the efficiency and economy of the public service, it is desirable a permanent Com missioner of Public Works and Buildings, or other officer, should be appointed to the 'present Board of Works. The hon, gentleman traced the mismanagement and extrava gant cost of our public buildings and statues to the want of a permanent officer of the kind suggested. Mr. COWPER entered upon a lengthy explanation, He admitted that in the past there had been a good deal of mismanagement and much waste of money in consequence of a false economy as in the case of the National Gallery.

ROYAL VICTORIA PATRIOTIC ASYLUM. Mr. TORRENS asked Colonel Wilson Patten, whether there were any vacancies in the asylum at Wandsworth ; if so what number : And, further, he wished to state whether it was the rule or intention to fill up any vacancies in the asylum solely with children of soldiers who died in the Crimea, to the exclusion of the children of those who, having served in the Crimea, have since died on service with their regiments in India or elsewhere. Col. W. PATTEN replied that there were at this time 37 vacancies in the asylum, which were caused by the neces sity that had arisen for providing a temporary hospital. The institution could afford accommodation for 300 children, and the full complement would shortly be placed on the foundation. The design of the institution was for the re ception of children of soldiers who had died in the Crimea during the Russian war, either in action, from their wounds, or disease. They had the first claim. It was under the consideration of th e C omm i ss i oners w hether would not be well, as vacan c i es occurre d , to a dmit the in the service of their co un t r y.

A very moderate supply of English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market. Both red and whi te qualities met a slow sate; nevertheless, Monday's currency was fairly supported. The show of samples of foreign wheat was large. Sales progressed slowly, both in granaried produce and parcels ex ship, at about previous rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at late prices. There was an increased supply of foreign barley on the stands. The trade was rather less active; nevertheless, the currency ruled firm. Malt was firm at fully previous rates. The supply of foreign oats was large; of home-grown qualities seasonably good. Most descriptions changed hands to a fair extent at Monday's quotations. Beans were firm, and quite as dear as on Monday. The demand for peas was not to say active, yet prices were fully supported. In flour, about an average business was transacted at full quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. Barley. Malt Oats. Flour.
