■ POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, --a-- MARLBOROITGH-STREET OMNIBUS ROBBERIES.—C_ ITTION TO LADIES.—Two tplightly-dressed women named Ellen Jones and Mary Jervis, both of whom gave addresses at Lambeth, and both being in an advanced stage of pr.?gnancy, were charged before Mr Knox with robbing M. - siza Amelia Bull. of 23, Duke•street, Manchester-square, of the sum of 10s. while in the omnibus. Mr Maynard, from Mr B , ard 7 s office, attended to watch the case on behalf of the London General Omnibus Com pany, and Mr Edward Lewis of Great Marlborough-street appeared for the prisoners, It • appears that Mrs Bull bad been in the Bank of Eng land to receive her dividends, and got into the omnibus in the City. The prisoners got in in Newgate-street, and directly after they left the omnibus at the London Crystal Palace, Oxford-street, Mrs Bull put her hand into her pocket and found her purse empty, n 10s. having been abstracted from it. A gentleman who heard of Mrs Bull's loss, being a passenger in the omnibus, afterwards saw the prisoners getting into another omnibus in Oxford •street, and he then caused them to be taken into custody by Rosekilly, 66 C, and on their being taken to Marlborough mews station and searched, only a trifle above 10s., the amount Mrs Bull lost, -xis found upon them. Mr Lewis addressed the magistrate at some length on behalf of the prisoners, contending there was no proof they had taken Mrs Ball's money. Mr Knox committed the prisoners for trial. A second charge was then preferred against Jones by Martha Thompson, in service at the Lawn, Tulse-hill, Brixton, who lost £5 4s. from her purse wh,le in an omni bus on its way from Westnainster-bridge to Regent's circus; on another ocaasiou the purse, as in tOe former ease, being loft empty in her pocket, Mr Lewis again addressed the magistrate at some length on the prisoner's behalf, contending that theta WAS no proof the prisoner committed the robbery, Mr Knoa committed the prisoner for trial. THAMES. A ROBBERY ON THE ROAD,—George Smith, a youth Well known to the police, and connected with a desperate gang of thieves, was brought before Mr Paget charged with stealing 2lbs of tea, value 5s Bd, the property of Mr John Rose, grocer and tea dealer, of 143, Whitechapel-road. Last night at nine o'clock a la], named William Cooper, Was sent out with a truck containing parcels of grocery for his master's customers, and soon atterwards he was passing down the Mile-end-road, opposite the Eagle Tavern, when he saw the prisoner take a parcel of tea out of the truck and run away with it. Cooper immediately pursued the thief, who dropped the parcel in the road. A police-constable, named George Palmer, No. 25 K, went in pursuit of the thief, and after a long chase, overtook him, and locked him up. William Pillow, a police constable, No. 274 K, stated that the prisoner was convicted under the Criminal Justice Act in that Court on the 10th of May last, for picking pockets, and sentenced to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner in defence said—l should not have done it if I had not been in want of food. I was going back to a plac e where I could have four years' character. Please to settle it here, sir, and give me as lenient a punishment as You can. Mr Paget—l shall not dispose of the case here. You are csramitted for trial. XONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The condition of the Money Market remains firm. The rates charged for the negotiation of first class paper continues at 61 and 51 per cent, but the Inquiry for accommodation has only been moderate. The bills held over till yesterday in expsctation of a reduction in the official minimum, and the fort nightly settlement in foreign stocks, railway and other shares, have no doubt influenced the brokers to keep up their quotations for a day or two longer. There was a withdrawal of 40,000 sovereigns from the Bank yesterday for transmission to Alexandria. The shares of the Robertsfors Iron Works Com- Pany (l►mited) were in demand ear►y to' day at closing at 11 prera. We understand that the capital stock of the company is being rapidly applied for. It will be seen from another column that important and influential additions have been made in the board of direction. The Bank of England return for the past week I contains several important alterations, but they are not unfavourable when the present influences now at Work are considered. Toe Government deposits have been lessened and the private balances in creased through the distri'oution of the dividends. The repayment of advances has:also diminished the stock of other securities; the bullion and reserve of notes also show decrease.

France is of an unfavourable character. The cash has undergone a diminution of £386,650, the advances of £BO,OOO, and the current accounts of £712,000. The dis counts, however, show an augmentation of £200,000, the notes in circulation of £820,000, and the Tree. sury balances of £20,000. The directors of the Mercantile Credit Associa tion, as liquidators of the assets of the company before the amalgamation with the Imperia:, have just declared a dividend of 35a. a share, or equal to 8 7i per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital. The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit tance of £216 13a 4d on account of the dividends en the debt of Ecuador. During the last few days there has been rather less animation in the markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce, Tea has remained dull, while sugars have declined about 6d. per cwt. Superior descriptions of coffee have met a fair demand at S teady prices, but in rice, fruit, spices, saltpetre, and tallow, the operations have been on a very modes rate scale, without any material change as regards 'values. The Flintshire Oil and Cannel Company is a new- undertaking, introduced for the purpose of purchasing the works and property of the Mineral Oil Company, at Saltney (near Chaster), and Lees- Wood, in Fiintshire, and also of the Tryddyn Oil and Coke Company. The yield of etude mineral oil containing paraffin is said to be very large, and the new company, besides raising it, proposes to distil and refine it, thus uniting three different ope rations under one management. The capital re quired is £500,000 in shares of £5O each, 6,000 of Which are to form the first issue. The directors of the London Financial Associa tion have issued their second half -yearly report, Which states that " After providing for the current penes of the past half-year, writing off the whole (3f the costs for repairs, furniture, and fittings to the n ew °ales, and carrying forward a rebate of interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, the of a directors are ena bl e d to recommend t h e payment with divid en d at the rate of 5 per cent. Et bonus at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, fre e o f income tax; there will then remain a balance of undivided rofits of £21,408 18r J. E. e 9cl to be carried f orward to the p next half -year. MC. K och having reigned the office of manager of this association has been elected a Member of the board, which election requires the Confirmation of the shareholders at the meeting. The directors hav e the satisfaction of ann ounc i ng t hat they have secured the services of Mr. Augustus Wildy, rn'lnager." •••••• •••••••• At Paris, this d a y, acco rdin g Two O'CLOCK.

Yesterday, in consequence of certain infor mation, Inspector Tanner proceeded to the east-end of the town with the hat found in the railway carriage in the hope that it could be identified, but such, unfortunately, turned out not to be the case. The opinion that the person who changed the chain at the jeweller's shop in Cheapside was a foreigner is now disbelieved. Nothing would be easier than to assume such an account, and thereby lead from the scent. The statement that the hat is that of a foreigner is ridiculous, as it is one of the commonest and cheapest description of London manufacture, and is quite of the conven tional English shape. 12.10 :or:, anti itandoli.

That an engagement has taken place is not de nied, but that the Kcrsage was the vessel is quite untrue. It was probably the Sacramento or Niagara.

AND THE SAILORS.—During a trial trip of a new steamer from Liverpool last week the reporter of one of the local papers ascended to the " main truck" in older to obtain a good view of the Great Eastern, which was passing down the channel at the time en eoute for Sheerness. Seeing the "gentleman of the Press" in this novel position, several sailors asc•tnded the rigging in the hope of " tying him up , " an indignity to w hi c h landsmen are obliged to submit on ascending the riggi ng f or the first m was t too sharp heychooseto fo p r hisay backshe es h . The reporter, however, eunless assailants, f ar seizing on t some of the ropes he managed to elude all hi s pursuers, though one sized him for a few moments. After a mobt exciting chase—dangerous even for the prac'ised seaman at times—the nimble and daring reporter managed to reach the deck in safety, amidst the chtm's of the numerous QOM- Party of " merchant princes" on board, who had anxiously witnessed his daring escapade, and who had promptly offered to replace a hat which ho lost whilst aloft.

There was a good race for the Molyneux Cup between Fantail and Windham, the mare leading the whole way until at the halt distance she was headed by Windham, who had beer. lying off throughout, and who won at last cleverly by a neck. Fantail was a very warm favourite, while the winner was at 8 to 1, so this was a great turn up for the fielders. Universal sati.faetion was expressed at the withdrawal by Admiral Rous and Lord Stamford of the charges made by them against Lord Bateman, arising out of the race for the County Stakes at Worcester. In justice to the Earl of Stamford, we hays authority for stating that he signed the first letter to Lord Bateman under an entire ignorance of the real facts of the case.

With little or no material change they ran in these positions to the mile post where the leading horses were joined by Lord Batoman's colt— but in a stride or two after Windham was pulled back, and went on in waiting to halfway in the bottom, where Stanton compounded, when Crenshaw brought his horse to the front and followed Fantail into the dis tanc3, whore he headed the latter and won a finely con tested race by a head ; the favourite heading The Clown by four lengths, a similar distance separating the third and fourth.

Dermot Asthore, in company with Sluggard and Cut away, made play to the turn, when the Sluggard ran out, leaving the race with the two, who were joined half way up by Alice Leigh. The three ran together to the enclosure, when the favourite cline out anal appeared to be winning to nothing, but was beat cleverly by a length, a like distance between second and third. After the race Clarkson, the rider of Cutaway, was sum moned to appear before the Earl of Stamford and Captain White, who acted for the stewards, the general impression being that the jockey had prevented Cutaway from win ning. Ultimately, Clarkson was suspended fr©m riding again dUring the meeting, with an intimati.on that the case would be brought under the notice of the Jockey Club.

Sir,—Admiral Rous appears from his fast letter to have misapprehended the purport of my letter to him of the 3d inst. In that communication I never intended to convey to him a desire on the part of the Worcester Race Committee that any public notice should be taken of the proceedings of Lord Bateman or others. 1 had not raceived any such ap plication from the committee, and tb a statements to which I referred in my letter as having received from them, and from the inhabitants of Woreesttx,were brought to me by a friend, and were occasioned no doubt by a desire to exone rate the inhabitants of the locality from the charge of such misconduct. I thought it dcgrable to make Admiral Rous acquainted with that fact,--I amt July 14. COVENTRY, Royal Freemasons' Female School, Yesterday a gurArterly general court of the Gover nors of the Rriyal Freemasons' School, St. John's. hill, Battersea-rise, which was established for maintaining, clothing, and educating female chil dren, daughters of decayed Freemasons, was held at the cffices of the institution, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, for the purpose of placing children on the list for the election is October next, as also of declaring the number then to be elected, and on general business. The meeting was presided over by Mr, John Udall,lone of the vice-presidents of the institution. The minutes of the previous general court and those of the intermediate committee meetings having been read and confirmed, • I The SECI3.I:TARY read , a report from the General Ca-11114ln to the effect that the number of children at present in the Eel) oDl wu 92, three of whom would leave in October next, when their term of residenen there would expire, and which would reduce the number to 89. The number of unsuccess , ful candidates left ovfa from last election having, been 14, which had been increased by seven addi tional applicants Tsince, the committee recommended that 11 out of tttese 21 candidates should be elected in October ne-ht, which would increase the number of children i n the school to 100. It was also stated that a con Bract had been entered into for the im provenarnt of the play-room of the school, the con tract price being £l2l, and that the tradesmen's bills and salaries for the past quarter had amounted to £B3O 4s. 9d., while the subscriptions and dona tions received on the occasion of the anniversary dinner now amounted to £3,800. The report was cordially adopted, several brethren present expressing their satisfaction that the finan• cial position of the institution was such as to enable them to maintain, clothe, and educate so large a number as 100 female children.

FIRES IN THE METROPOLIS.—EarIy yesterday morning the dwelling-house of Mr Butcher, Andover road, Hammersmith, was destroyed by fire, as welt as its contents. The houses on each side were also injured.— Another fire broke out at Albert-road, Mile-end, and was not subdued without considerable difficulty, and after much damage had been done. THE CONVICTS AT PORTLAND.-0a Tuesday an insurrection broke cut among. the convicts now undergoing their term of imprisonment in the Portland Convict establishment. It appears that cn that day the Lew dietary system had been introduced, and this seems to have greatly dissatisfied the convicts. Everthing, however, went on 'wt,ll until after the men had been marched back from dinner, when a gang employed in a stone quarry near the Clifton Hotel refused to work and attacked one of the civil guards. The impression among the convic4s appeared to ha that the guards would not make use cf the short Enfield rifles with which they were armed, but this proved to be a mistaken idea. Several of the gang rushed upon the guard and attempted to knock him down with their pickaxes and shovels. Tho officer discharged his weapon and slightly wounded one of the ringleaders. By this time ho had received assistance from his brothers, three or four of whom fired upon the men. Pour or five of them were shot, receiving, however, only slight wounds. This measure had the rift ct of quelling the disturbance. After the riot had been quelled the party were marched back to the prison and confinnl in punishment cells. The military were called out, but their assistance was not requited. SECOND E JITION SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 o'CLocK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,—This Day, LIVERPOOL RACES—TnIs DAY.

METROPOLITAN RAILWAYS. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from the inhabitants of Finsbury Circus praying that the Metro politan Railway Bill (Extension) to Trinity-square might not be allowed to pass into a law. CONVOCATION. Lord lIOUGHTON rose to ask her Majesty's Govern ment whether they had taken, or were willing to take, the opinion of the law officers of the Crown as to the powers of the Convocation of the province of Canterbury to pass a synodical judgment on books written either by clergymen or laymen; as to the immunity of the members of that body from proceedings at com mon law consequent on such judgments ; and as to the forms according to which such judicial power must be exercised if it belongs to that body. Ho asked the question bleaule of the verdict that had been passed upon the volumes called " Essays and Reviews." He did not with to enter into any theological discussion in their lordships' house; he simply drew their attention to the subject for the sake of freedom of opinion and liberty of religion. Having referred to the origin of " Essays at .d Reviews," ho remarked that it was matter of regret that a book of that description should have been selected by the Convocation of Canterbury. The proceed. ings of Covocation in earlier times. in respect to censuring books, were kept in check by the Upper House of Convoca tion. In the year 1,700 a work by Tolan, entitled "Chris tianity not Mysterious," was condemned by the Upper House, but when the Lower House came to consider the subject they came to the conclusion that without a licence from the King, which they had not received, they bad no authority to censure anf such book but, on the contrary, they were advised that by doing so both Houses of Convocation might incur the penalties contained in the statute of twenty-fifth of Henry VIII. Having remarked upon other and later circumstances, cep,- cially upon Dr Wiston's, he said ho thought he had demon strated the dubiousness of the law upon the subject, and he considered himself justified in asking his first question whether the Government intended to take the opinion of the law officers of the Crown upon the powers of Convocation. The result of the censure upon the "Essays and Reviews" was frought with the most important considerations, espe cially as amongst the authors were Dr Temple, the head master of Rugby school and Professor Jowates, who had been treated with much injustice by the Uni versity of Oxford. If the system of censuring books was to exist they must go on an d not atop, as " Essays and Reviews." They go on and censure the book of a bishop of a colonial church, which produced some time ago the greatest excitement. He wanted to know under what form or restr i ct i ons they could exercise their power of censuring works. It had long been understood that they could only exer cise the power at the instance of the Crown. To alter a canonical law they required a license of the Crown. He considered that no distinction could be drawn between the censure of a book and the alteration of a common law.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.) HOPLEY V. HOPLEY. Mr Hopley resumed his defence this morning by reading extracts from different letters from his wife in the early part of 1862, which contained some very endearing expressions. She spoke of herself as hi s " lit t l e w i fey, " an d reques ts him to preserve a " cheerf u l t emper as a duty to God, who wished his creatures to be h a p py. " H e conten d e d t h a t it was impossible that such letters could be addressed to such a brutal husband as he was represented, and said that at the time he was stated to have been in the habit of cruelly ill-treating his wife he was delivering lectures on moral and social subjects at Brighton. The respondent resumed reading the letters, which were very tedious and lengthy, and the court had frequently to call him to order in conse quence of the irrelevant matter introduced into his address. He laid great stress on the fact that in 1862 she was using all her exertions to procure a remission of his sentence, as a proof that there was no foundation in the case against him. The witnesses called were not reliable, for one of them had been dismissed from his service ; the other, as he was credi bly informed, was the mother of two illegitimate children by a married man; and,the memory of a third could not be trusted. One of his pupils who had been examined said that he never witnessed any acts of ill-treatment on his part, or appearances of it on her person, all of which must have been perceived by every member of his household, from the nature of his domestic arrangements, and this witness spoke of him in the very highest terms. (The case was not concluded at the rising of the Court. MARKETS—This B.S. MARK -LANE. A small supply of home grown wheat was on sale at Mark-lane to-day.

The accounts from the plantations are not to say favour able, owing to the slow p;ogress made during the last four days. The plant, however, is comparatively free from blight. The amount of business passing in our market is very moderate, and is chiefly confined to good and fine samples of last year's growth, which command previous quotations. In the value of other descriptions no change has taken place. COLONIAL. TEA—Business has been very inactive, and the few deal ings entered into have been at about previous rates. SUGAR—The market has remained dull, and a decline of 6d per cwt. may be quoted on West India descriptions.
