31 0 17 T I M SHARE EtARKETS—This da AND COMMXRCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CIY, O'CLOCK. Indication s o f easier feeli T ng TWELVE have been manifested to-day in discount circles. The transactions to-day have b een very moderate, and as money is now beingahsorbed on account of the revenue payments the quietude of business has occasioned some sur prise among bankers and others, The rates are a little lower, but notwithstanding the concessions discounters are willing to make the mercantile com munity seen) to be holding back their bills as much 68 their current demands will permit. f urther su m o f £ 12,000 in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. Toe Harriet Pinckney has arrived from Bermuda With £70,000 in go!d. I n the manufacturing districts dining the past W eek th ere has not been any great deal of anima witnessed. At Manchester there was a decline in the qu otat i on of cotton, with a dull market for cloth s and yarn. Operations in woollen cloths at IT L eeds and H uddersfield, and in worsted goods at . 4441 ifax, ha ve b ean carried on to a rather large ex tent, but at Bradford little business was negotiated. In the h ardware di str i cts a l so of Birmingham and Sheffie, there was a slight falling off 112 the de- Inand both for country and foreign orders. of We see in our advertising columns the prospectus pnew company, comprising the flourishing pro erty know n as " P rinces Club, " distinctive for English speciality and the high rank of its members. This is a noticeable instance, though of n ow daily occurrence, of individual enterprise and ownership merging into the powerful principle toof optio na l participation and self-governance, and Option a l to show the marked and yet growing favour W ith which. corporate associations are regarded by en our very highest class. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Reuter'b telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 671. 10c. Rather firm. Only a very limited amount of business has been t ransacted to-day in the market for the English Fonds, and it has not led to any alteration in the quotations, Consols being 908 for money and account, and 90 1 for the Bth of July.

The country markets held on Saturday were firm for wheat, and selected parcels were held at enhanced rates. In most descriptions of spring corn a moderate business was transacted at previous quotations. The flour trade was steady on former terms. We learn from New York that the value of wheat and flour had improved, and that the shipments to Great Britain had been on a liberal scale. On the Continent the trade, generally speaking, is steady. Limited supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 13,925 quarters of wheat ; 590 barley ; 8,113 oats ; 853 beans; 1,035 peas; 140 linseed; 6,500 rapeseed; 1,000 maize ; 70 sundry seeds, and 27 sacks of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day, the arrivals of English wheat were decidedly on the increase, and the condition of the produce was for the most part good. The accounts at hand respecting the appearance of the crops being very favour able, the demand, for red and white qualities ruled inactive. Compared with Monday, however, no quotable change took place in prices. At the close of business a fair clearance was effected. The supply of oats on sale was very moderate, and the trade ruled firm, with an upward tendency in prices. Beans, the supply of which was small, fully supported last Monday's currency. Peas were firm in price, and most descriptions met a steady sale. The show of samples on the stands was small. Most descriptions of flour changed hands to a moderate extent, at late rates. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was but mo derate. In most descriptions sales progressed slowly, at the rates current on Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at previous quotations. The market was seasonably well supplied with barley. Both for grinding and distilling qualities the demand ruled far from active; nevertheless, previous quotations were supported. Malt changed hands to a moderate extent, on former terms.

The show of sheep was considerably in excess of Mom , day last, and its general quality was good. All breeds moved off slowly, at 2d to 4d per 81bs less money. A few very inferior Downs and half-breds sold at 5s 2d; but the general top figure was 5s per Blbs. Lambs—the supply of which was good—sold slowly on rather lower terms, viz., from 6s to 7s per Sibs. We had a slow sale for calves at barely late rates. The supply was moderate. The pork trade was steady for the time of year, at full prices. There was an increased supply of foreign stock on offer in to• day's market. The quality of the beasts and calves was good; but the sheep came to hand in but middling condition. Sales progressed slowly, on lower terms. Ttie arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our own grazing districts, were considerably on the increase, and mostly in prime condition. Our receipts from Scotland were large, viz„ 311 from Aberdeen, 300 from Fifeshire, and 359 from East Lothian. This portion of the supply was remarkably prime. From Ireland, very few beasts came to hand. Although the attendance of buyers was numerous, the de mand for all breeds of beasts was heavy, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last of from 2d to 4d per Blbs.

The glorious uncertainty of the turf was never more se emed to be reduced to a match bet ween Blair Athol, the exemplifiedperbherby winner,than an i d t F w j a i s i e d e i yesterdayA iAir, at Paris. The great race t h e French and English Oaks victrix, but suffered defeat f rom a stable companion of Bois-Roussel. The Ascot meeting commences to-morrow, and no doubt will be honoured with the presence of the Prince and Princess of Wales. There are nine items set down for decision on the first day. The Ascot Stakes has a miserable acceptance out of the 49 entered, only 17 having cried i‘ content.' Baldwin, the top weight, is entirely out of the race. Canary and Thalestris are nicely in, and if Canary be meant I cannot see how he can lose. Wandering Minstrel, Sheridan, Alabama, and Claxton will be found the best of the three-year-olds. I shall expect to see CANARY win, with Thalestris and ALABAMA as his fin. mediate followers. The Prince of Wales Stakes has both Blair Athol and Fille de l'Air engaged, with 91b penalty each, the former for winning the Derby and the latter the Oaks. Both are likely to be absentees. Sottish Chief has slb penalty, which will just enable Knight of Snowdon to reverse the Epsom running. Lord Zetland will be his most dangerous opponent. Little Stag has only to face the starter to win the Gold Vase; but as he may be reserved for the Cup on Thursday, I shall couple Fairwater and Oldminster with him. The Queen's Stand Plate, T.Y.C., looks more like a handicap than a weight for age race, as th e weights, alder adding the penalties and deducting the allowances, stand as under : Age st lb Age st lb Umpire Bertha Lady Clifden .... 6 9 5 Victorious 2 7 1 Castle Hill 3 9 1 La Mechante .... 2 6 12 Birchbroom Pearl Diver Soapstone Starbeam .. 3 8 9lZambesi 2 6 12 King John ltoyal Stag Woldga 4 8 51Sister to Tomato .. 2 6 9 The top•weighted Umpire won this race last year. The distance to be ti aversEd is only five furlongs, and as weight makes very little difference over a short course, he may just pull through. Lady Clifden is by far the best of the old horses engaged, and if she comes to the post in anything like form she will have no difficulty in disposing of all who may oppose her. The only one likely to upset her ladyship's colours is LA BEARNAIS. The Tenth Ascot Biennial will be carried off by Blue Mantle or King of the Vale, and the Seventh Ascot Biennial by Gardevisure, unless she is reserved for the New Stakes. The Royal Hunt Cup is seldom won by the best horse. It is one of those races that depends more on a start than merit. There are several good horses amongst the entries, amongst whom are Trumps, Amelia, Muezzin, Humphrey, Caroline, and Finesse. If HUMPHREY will only run up to his three-yr old form, when he beat as large fields as will contest this race, I should look no further for the winner ; failing him I shall trust to Amelia and Caroline. The Cup and the New Stakes I shall refer to on Wednesday. Lord St. Vincent no doubt will win the Cup, as he has two strings to his bow in Lord Clifden and Little Stag. A FRESH MAN.

GRE VILLE'S YEARLINGS AT HAMPTON COURT ON SATURDAY. The annual sale of her Majesty's yearlin gs t oo k p l ace a t the Royal Paddocks, Hamp ton Court, on Saturday last. The weather was very fine, and the event brought together many noblemen and gentlemen, and an unusual number of turf habitués, including owners of horses, trainers, &o. As will be seen by the subjoined list of prices, the gross amount for the 24 Royal yearlings sold was 6,625 guineas, making an average of 276 guineas each—a larger sum than the produce of the stud has realised for many years. One filly was sold for the unprecedented sum of 1,2•;0 guineas, but although she is a big one, the price was considered by most good judges to be in excess of her value. She is, close this week, have gone off steadily since our last, at very full prices. Port Philip wool is now ld to lid; Syd ney, Adelaide, and Cape, id to ld per lb dearer than at the close of last series. Up to the present time, rather more than 90,000 bales have been disposed of, and of this quantity a considerable proportion has been taken by foreign buyers. In the English wool trade there is much less fine ness, owing to increased supplies having been forwarded to market, as well as to a disposition on the part of holders to realise. Prices, consequently, have fallen ld to 2d per lb for the late highest point. The import into London last week amounted to 535 bales from East London ; 672 Port Natal ; 3,730 Launceston ; 3,008 Moretown Bay; and 479 bales from Odessa. however, got by the famous Stockwell, sire of Blair Athol, winner of the Derby, andunquestionably the most fashion able stallion of the day, added to which she traces her lineage through her dam (Braxey) to the famed Queen Mary, dam of Blink Bonny, and grandam of Blair Athol, 8.7:3., and will always keep the money together, if only for breeding purposes. After the sale of the Royal produce thirteen of Mr. Greville's yearlings were sold in the same pad dock, and realised a total of 2,491 guineas, or an average of 190 guineas each.

'Before the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Wemsleydale, Lord Chelmsford, and Lord Kingsdo wn.) YELVERTON V. LONGWO RTH (OR YELVERTON). This appeal case was continued this morning. Long before the doors were opened a large crowd of persons had assembled, a large majority of them being ladies, who were actuated by curiosity, so that all the space appropriated to strangers was very soon occupied. Several members of the House of Commons occupied seats in the gallery. The respondent was in one of the Fide seats with two other ladies, but, as she sat on a hassock, she could only be seen by a few persons. r' Mr. Rolt, Q.C., who on a previous day called attention to the positior< of the parties, and the manner in which they became acquainted, together with a history of the various law proceedings which have taken place, proceeded this morning to read lengthened extracts from the evidence bear ing upon the case of the Hon. Major Yelverton, the appel lant, with a view to show that the lady had acted impro perly in her early connection with the appellant. Lord Chelmsford could hardly see how that evidence, supposing it were all true, affected the marriage. The Lord Chancellor concurred in the opinion that it was useless to trouble their lordships with such matters. Mr. Rolt could not argue that point at present, but thought it might be found to throw some light on subse quent stages of the matter. He would now proceed to ad vert to the correspondence which had passed between the parties, contending that, as the judgment of the court below, and which was against Major Yelverton, was founded upon that correspondence, it was of the greatest possible import ance to his client, and that must be his apology for intrud ing it upon their lordships at some length. Shortly after 12 o'clock it was evident that Mrs. Yel verton was becoming unwell, and she was removed from the house. In the course of a few minutes afterwards she made her appearance in the Reporter's Gallery, being escorted by one of her counsel, and accompanied by her two lady friends. The news soon spread, and several mem bers of the House of Commons came up to the side galleries to catch a glimpse of the lady who has attracted so much notoriety. She is a person rather above the ordinary stature, of pleasing features, and very fair complexion. She wore a light silk dress and a light silk bonnet trimmed with velvet ribbon. Mr Rolt proceeded at great length to read extracts from the lady's letters, and said there were some passages which he would not read, but he would request their lordships to read them. Some of them were in Italian, and he agreed with the Lord Ordinary that it was almost impossible for the lady to have been acquainted with the nature of many of the expressions she used, some of those expressions being capable of bearing the most filthy interpretation. He pointed out other passages in English, in which the lady had expressed pity that persons about to contract marriage could nrt go on trial. Such remarks, he contended, were entirely inconsistent with all honourable courtship. The learned counsel was proceeding with his address when our report left. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. The June sessions of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning before the Common Sergeant, Alder man Sir R. Carden, Sir G. Moon, Phillips, and Luek, and the Sheriffs. There are 83 prisoners.for trial, but the greater portion of the charges are of the ordinary character. One of the gentlemen summoned on the grand jury objected to serve on the ground that he had conscientious objections to taking an oath. In reply to Sir R. Carden, the juror said he knew he could not claim exemption, but if excused he knew it would only be as a matter of favour. Sir R. Carden asked what course he would pursue supposing he should be obliged to bring an action against any one. The gentleman replied that he always settled any dispute of that nature without going to law. He should not take the oath under any consideration. Sir It. Carden observed that if he were a witness in a case of murder, he would be compelled to give his evidence, or else he would be committed. _ _ The gentleman said he had no desire to evade the per formance of his public duty, and he had on various occa sions been excused from taking the oath. Sir It. Carden said that if such claims as the present were to be frequent great difficulty would arise. They were, however, very rare, and under the circumstances he would admit the excuse. Another juror was then sworn, and the grand jury com pleted. The Common Sergeant, in his charge, said he was happy to inform them that there were not more persons for trial than would have been expected, considering that the inter val of five weeks had elapsed since the last session. He was glad to be able to state that from having for the past few years watched the state of crime, this showed a very satisfaetDry state of things, and that, taking into considera tion the very great increase in the population, and a like increase in property, and the consequent increase in tempta tion, criminal offences did not increase in the like propor tion; indeed, as regarded juvenile offenders, the number during the last three or four years had decreased at least two thirds, which could be accounted for by the exertions which were being made by philanthropists in taking charge of aban doned children. He was sorry to see, however, that five of the charges involved the loss of life, and one assumed the more serious charge of murder, and the other four for the milder offence of manslaughter ; and he could not help noticing with regret, that this, as usual in most cases of violence that came before the Court, resulted from the effects of drink. With regard to the case of murder the prisoner and the deceased had had a quarrel in a public house, and deceased went up to the prisoner in a fighting attitude, but it did not appear whether or not he struck him, However, the prisoner, who had a knife in his hand, made a cut at deceased and stabbed him, and he died in three weeks after from the effects of the wound. If these facts were extenuated he thought it was prince facie murder, and it would be rather for the jury to consider more minutely whether there was anything to justify the charge being reduced to manslaugh ter. The Common Sergeant then alluded to the charges for manslaughter, amongst which was that of the woman lately residing in Johnson-street, New Cut, remarking that all of them appeared to have been committed while the pas sions of the prisoners were inflamed by drink. In conclu sion he alluded to the case of which a captain of a vessel was charged with embezeling £4,000 belonging to his em ployer. • The prisoner, it api,eared, received the money abroad and ought to have at once accounted for it, and remitted it to tte owners of the vessel. Instead of doing so, he came to England with the money which he deposited in different tanks. The proseoutors hearing of the fact of his arrival in England caused him to be apprehended, and his statement was that he invested the money for security, while he foolishly went about to ace his friends instead of going directly with it to his owners. The qw,sion for them would b© whether or not the prisoner had any felonious in tent when he invested the money, or whether it was, es he stated, a mere matter of negligence. The Court then proceeded with the business of the session, IVilliam Heath, a respectable looking man, pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzling money, the money of Mr. Ed • wards, the proprietor of the Bt illing Yews. The prisoner had been ,in prison two weeks, and he appeared to believe that he was only civilly liable to the prosecutor for the money. He was bound over in his own recognisances to come up for judgment when called upon. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF -PAST 4 O'CLOCK. POLAND.

The Duke of MARLBOROUGH called the attention of the noble earl to the dangerous practice of firing live shell from Plymouth Citadel. It is now a practice fraught with the utmost danger, and fatal effects had already resulted from the practice, as a poor man had been killed owing to his boat having been struck by a shell fired from the Citadel dur ing artillery practice. No person could sail out of Plymouth Sound without crossing the line of fire, and he himself had experienced the danger of the practice, He wished to know whether the Government intended to adopt steps to prevent the recurrence of such lamentable accidents as the one he had referred to, by providing new practising grounds, which he believed might easily be done. Earl DE GREY and RIPON regretted the fatal occur rence as much as the noble duke. It was too true the poor man had died from the effects of a wound inflicted on him by one of the shells fired from Plymouth citadel. The shot had deviated from the regular course, and thus the accident had been occasioned. He felt it but right to the officer in com mand of the gun to say that he had waited for more than two hours for the clearing of the line of fire. Immediately he heard of the accident ho issued orders, which indeed were unnecessary, as the commanding officer had acted on his own responsibility, and ordered a discontinuance of the firing from Plymouth Citadel. It was not, however, the fact to say that it was the practice to fire live shells from the guns. The fact was that they were only charged with sufficient materials to show the exact moment of strik ing the water. The matter was under the serious conside ration of the Government, but he would at once say that no risk to human life would be run iu practising with artillery. It was not quite so easy as the noble duke imagined to procure fresh ranges, but no considerations of that sort would de lay the consideration of measures to prevent the recurrence of so melancholy an accident. The Earl of MALMESBURY expressed his satisfaction at the answer of the noble lord. SIR RO WLAND HILL AND THE LATE EARL OF ELGIN. The LORD CHANCELLOR read a read a message from her Majesty recommending the House of Lords to confer with a view of enabling her to grant, as a special mark of her favour, the sum of £20,000 to Sir Rowland Hill. Earl GRANVILLE moved that her Majesty's message be taken into consideration on Friday next. The LORD CHANCELLOR next read a message from her Majssty recommending their lorships to confer, with a view of enabling her to grant to Mary Louisa, the Dowager Countess of Eigin and Kincardine, £l,OOO per annum for her natural lite.

THE REV. F. ANDERSON. Lord STRATHEDEN moved that an address be pre sented to her Majesty, for copies of any correspondence which had taken place between ber Majesty's Government and the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, on the imprisonment, in Grodno, of the Rev. Fortescue Alderson , a British subj ect , during the autumn of 1863; anu also for copies of any cor respondence which had taken place between her Majesty's Government and the Rev. Mr. Anderson on his imprison • ment. Earl• RUSSELL said Mr. Andrew's case was very simple. He had visited Poland when the people were in a state of insurrection, and had been apprehended on sus picion of having supplied arms and amunition to the Poles. The case was investigated, and as there was not sufficient evidence the rev gentleman was set at liberty, on condition that he left Russia, Her Maje , ty's Government did not think it was a case in which the circumstances justified any interference on their part with a view of procuring a pecuniary compensation.

Mr Arro UN asked the Secretary of State for the Colo nies whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Govern ment to ask Parliament for its sanction of a guarantee of interest for a loan for New Zealand, and if so what was the amount of the loan for which a guarantee was to be asked, and whether the guarantee would be applied for during the present session ; and, if so, at what period of the session ?

OFFICERS.IN THE INDIAN ARMY. Colonel SYKES, on the moti on for going into committen of supply, moved :—" That the recent appointment or employment (except in emergent cases) of officere of the Indian armies with regiments to which they do not belong, in suppresss.ion of the regimental rights of the officers or usages of those regiments, is contrary to the spirit of the Act 21 and 22 Vic. c. 106, which guaranteed " that the military and naval forces of the East India Company should be deemed to be the military and naval forces of her Majesty, and should be under the same obligations to serve her Majesty as they would have been under to serve the said company, and should be liable to serve under the same territorial limits only, for the same terms only, and be entitled to the like pay, pmsions, allowances, and privileges, and the like advantages as regards promotion and otherwise, as if they had continued in the service of the said company;" and asked the Secretary of State for India whether such appointments had been approved by him. Mr VANSITIPART supported the motion, and said that it was high time there should be a remedy applied to a grievance which was now brought under the consicleraticn of the houso in a temporate and logical form. After some observations from Mr TOR hENS and Captain JEnvis, Sir C. WOOD said that the whole question raised, the importance of which he admitted was under the considera tion,of Government,and he trusted in a few days he would be able make a eaiisfactr,ry explanation to the house on that subject. (Hear, hear.) He denied that the appoint ment of officers in the Indian army was regulated by any principle except the efficiency of the officers who were selected to occupy important positions, lie contended that in order to secure the preservation of our dominion in India it was necessary to increase the number of English soldiers in the garrisons, so as to render us independent of the native soldiering. In support of this argument he he cited the authority of eminent persons connected with Indian affairs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Dan MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A. RUFFIAN PROPERLY PUNISHED.—Fred. Compton, a powerfully-built young man, described as a bill -poster, living at No. 1, Queen-street, St. James's, was charged before ➢lr Knox, with savagely assaulting a young woman named Elizabeth Thompson. The complainant, a young woman, said that on Sunday morning about four o'clock she was standing at her mother's door in Stacey-street, when the defendant came up to her in a menacing manner. Thinking he was going to strike her she said " Don't hit me." The defendant replied, "No I will not hit you, I will kick you," and then gave her a violent kick on the hand. She fell to the ground, and the prisoner then kicked her on the nose and also on her body, The complainant showed her hand to the magistrate, and there was a bad wound on IL Mr Knot asked the complainant whether she knew the defendant, and she said she had " kept company" with him. She had not seen him since the previous night, and. she had given him no provocation wh a t ever . The defendant had frequently beat her before, and once she charged him with using a poker to her. Defendant asked the complainant whether a roan was not talking to her at the time, and she denied it, and said the defendant often followed her in the streets and threat ened to have her life. Mr. Knox inquired of the complainant whether elle lived with the defendant, and she said she did not. Walter Sheppard, b 5 F, deposed that on going to the place he found the complainant on the ground and the de fendant k eking her. The defendant stated that the com plainant had been with another man. The defendant said that what the complainant had re ceived she wholesomely deserved. It was her own fault— she was in the habit of following him. Mr Knox said he did not care what the complainant had done. The defendant had no right to take the law into his own hands under any circumstances. If the complainant had annoyed him he could have had protection from the Court, and certainly was not justified in kicking the com plainant in the abominable way 111 had done. He should, commit the defendant for three months with hard labour. WESTMINSTER.

Neither he nor his friend said a word to the soldiers who followed complainant and his fri en d f or about 50 yards, When the soldiers got up t o th em they were talk ing about the prisoner holding tip hi s cane. They never said a word to the prisoner who gave him (com plainant) a severe brow with his fist on his cheek. The blow was so violent that it caused the blood to flow, and complainant was knocked down. Com plainant got up and asked him what that was for. He then received another severe blow on his cheek. Mr Selfe—Had you given him any provocation ? Complainant--None at all, sir. My friend was also struck by the prisoner, who was drunk. Prisoner said that he was struck by the complainant, Complainant denied that he assaulted the prisoner, and said that he felt great pain from the blow, and had his clothes saturated with blood.
