WCONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCR. The discount market remains in a steady position, and any material change is scarcely looked for until the payment of the July dividends. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under :- 1863. 1862. Great Western £63,518 £66,255 North-Western South- Western Brighton Midland Louth-Eastern 21,443 23,128 Great Eastern ancashire and Yorkshire 35,210 33,402 North Eastern 43,038 40,537 Bristol and Exeter 6,859 7,292 Manchester, Sheffield an d Lincoln 14,663 13,252 Edinburgh and Glasgow Glasgow and South-Western Great Luxembourg 4,720 4,611 These returns again show a falling off in several of the principal lines. On the Great Western there is a decrease of £2,737, on the South Western of £3,968, on the Brighton of £1,468, on the South-Eastern of £1,685, and on the Bristol and Exeter of £433. The North-Western, however, exhibits an increase of £606, the Midland of £4,697, the Lancashire and Yorkshire of £l,BOB, the North-Eastern of £2,501, and the Manchester, Shtflield, and Lincoln of £1,414. One of the latest undertakings introduced to the notice of the investing classes is the Torquay Hotel Company, with a proposed capital of £70,000, in shares of £lO each, of which, however, it is pro bable that not more than two thirds will be re quired for the immediate objects in view. It is brought for ward under favourable auspices, and as the locality is one of great attraction, and additional accommodation is requisite, there is every reason to believe that the expectations of the promoters will be fully realised. The prospectus refers to the large increase of visitors, both in winter and sum mer, and the especial advantages which such an establishment would at once secure. A very eligible site, upon which the residence of Colonel Meyrick now stands, has been obtained, commanding sea views, and provisional arrangements have been made with the proprietor of the Royal Hotel, 'whereby the company will be placed in immediate possession of a valuable connection and lucrative business on favourable terms. Another panel of gold, amounting to £54,000, Was taken into the Bank yester;:ay. The dollars by the last Mexican packet have been sold at ss. 20. per oz., showing a fall of sd. from the price obtained for the former supply. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were heavy at 68f. 50c. At a meeting to-day of the Canada Company, the directors proposed a division of per share, free of income tax, payable on the 10th July. Mr. Eiddulph occupied the chair, and on introducing to the notice of the meeting the report issued by the directors, stated that large arrears were due to the company for rent, and that proceedings were being taken by the commissioners in the colony to recover the claims. Advices had been received by the last mail, which stated that after the harvest the prospects of which were very encouraging the agents anticipated the payment of the greater portion of the debt. No discoveries of oil springs had yet been made upon the company's lands, and ihould such discovery take place the company would be entitled to claim additional rental. The com missioners were preparing and collating materials or the issue of a new pamphlet, which, as soon as re a dy, will be published. The directors had secured Afices on the site lately occupied by the old East India Company at a rental which would effect a mving of £250 a year. A vote of thanks to the :hairman and directors concluded the proeeedings. Increased depression has been experienced to-day in the market for the English Funds, although the lealings have been very limited. Sales, however, have been negotiated, and soon after the com mencement of business a decline of 8 per cent. ensued, Consols being 911 8 for transfer, and 918 )2 f o r the 9th proximo.

Prologue,cut out the work to the three• quarter mile post, where Carbineer took up the running. At the half distance he was reached by Caller Ou, who won cleverly by a head, a head between the second and third, a bad fourth, Poly nesia was fifth. From the result of the race, it will be seen that the decision of the judge and the prophecy of " A Fresh Man," in The Sun, very nearly agree ; as our correspondent actually natred the first three horses in the race, a circumstance never known to have been done in a large handicap by any prophet before. An instance nearly similar occurred with a celebrated sporting nobleman (was it not Lord George Ben tinck ?) who, for a very large bet, undertook to place every horse as they passed the post. When the race was over it was found that the noble lord had won, as the horse he named came in first, the rest of the field being distanced. The following appeared in The Sun of Monday, June 15:— " Although the Northumberland Plate stands for deci sion next week, no demonstration of any importance has yet been made in favour of any of the horses engaged, as much as 10 to 1 being still offered on the field. At present I can see nothing with more formidable pretensions to carry off this rich stake than the three top weights, namely, Carbineer, Caller Ou, and Adventurer, giving the prefer ence to the former, as I cannot forget his gallant struggle with Tim Whiffler in the Gold Vase at Ascot last year, where Tim' only beat Carbineer by a short head." And again in his final notes on Tuesday last, after discarding the claims of Polynesia and Stanton, the two first favouritcs, he concluded his letter as follows : If I place them in the following order I think I shall not be far from the mark : CARBINEER CALLER OU LOTHIAN'S KING Thus following up the great hit he also made on The Derby, when he placed three out of the first four, as well as naming the winner of The Oaks.

Their royal highnesses, who were accompanied by the Countess de Grey and Lieut.-Colonel Keppel, arrived shortly after eight o'clock, and were met on alighting from their carriage by the Earl of Derby. when the noble earl conducted their royal high nesses to the apartment in which the guests invited to meet them had assembled.

SlR,—Seeing by the advertisements that there are two or three committees for raising monuments to Shakespere, I cannot help thinking that those gentlemen would do a greater public service by attempting to raise the living re representatives of the poet to a better position than they occupy at present. This they should do, rather than squan der a large sum of money on two or three inanimate stone representatives, which are not wanted, because there is a very good one in Westminster Abbey, another in the British Museum, both by Roubiline, and a third on the top of the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, where it is about as inappro priate as a guard of honour to a twopenny omnibus, although, in one sense, it is indicative of the taste of the times, as it suggests to the ima ginative inhabitants of Vinegar-yard the idea of the British public having turned him out of the house to abide the pelting of the pitiless storm in Brydges-street. Well, next comes the question—How can the living representa tives be aided and the drama encouraged ? Let us ses. Of course, there must be a committee; and, as Mr. Macready is president of one of the Statue Committees, perhaps he would not object to identify himself with one for the benefit of his professional brethren. Well, could a theatre devoted to tho legitimate drama be partially supported by subscrip • tion as the operas are The pulse of the public should be felt on the subject, and I am inclined to think that the liberal and enlightened nobility of England, with the young Prince and Princess of Wales at their head, would gladly foster any well-developed plan calculated to uphold the dramatic literature of the country, and elevate the character of the British stage.—l have the honour to be, your obe dient servant, GEORGE ELLIS. June, 1863, STEAM SHIPBUILDING ON THE CLYDE.--Messrs. Caird and Co. have received an order from the West India Royal Mail Steamship Company for a screw of 2,434 tons burden and 500-horse power. The machinery will embrace surface condensation, superheated steam, and a steel shaft by Krupp, of Essen. The steamer will be modelled generally after the America, lately fitted by Messrs. Caird and Co. Satisfactory trial trips have been made by the Lord Gough, built for the Dublin trade by Messrs. Caird and Co., and the Mary Anne recently launched by Messrs. Connell and Co. The Mary Anne proved herself the fastest boat, having run the lights in 49m., thus attaining a speed of 19 miles per hour. She has been purchased at a high price by the Government of the Confederates Stat.s c of f A merica, e a r ri A nd will steamers l e a ve whicht e C p l r y o d e e shortly e eded to in the N ass wake u ak laste week. Agents of the Confedera' es have also been in nego tiation for the swift steamer, Rothesay Castle, but no defi nitive contract is yet known to have been concluded on the subject. Mr. A. Denny, of Dumbarton, has launched an iron paddle name the City of Dunedin, built for the New Zealand coasting trade; she is 463 tons burden, and is to be fitted by Messrs. Denny and Co. with engines of 100- horse power. Messrs. Scott and Son, of Cartsdyke, have launched the Washington, a fine steamer, of 3,250 tons, builders' measurement, constructed for the Conipagnie Generale Trausatlantique. The Washington is 346 ft. long from bow to stern (her bow being a perpendicular one), and her breadth of beam 44ft., while she has 31ft. depth of hold. She is now being fitted with engines of 850-horse power nominal, the diameter of her cylinders being 94in. Great things are expected of this fine vessel. The Washington is intended to ply between Havre and New York, being one of a fleet of eleven steamers now building for the same company—seven of the 11 are in course of construc tion by Messrs. Scott and Co., who have several of them on hand in France, and two others at their works at Cartsdyke. Each of the boilers and sole plates will weigh 61 tons. LAW liiTELLIGENCE—This Day, COURT OF PROBATE. (Before the J udge Ordinary.) RIDGWAY V. ABINGDON AND OTHERS -V EDGWOOD INTERVENING, The hearing of evidence in this case (the opening o which will be found in another part of the Sun) was re , sumed this morning. Mr. P. Smith was called to give evidence as to the capa city of deceased to make a will, and was of opinion that he was quite capable of doing so when the instrument was executed. Mrs. Ledbet ter, the nurse who attended to the testator up to the time of his death, said that Mr. Mayer always ap peared to be quite collected. He took food up to the hour of his death. She gave him milk and water, with bread crumbs in it. She had seen the servants give him a spoon ful of sherry in some water. The doctor who attended him always mixed the wine before he left him for the night. The night before his death Mr. Abingdon was with Mr. Mayer, who was then suffering great pain, and young Mr. Abingdon went to the druggist to get something from him to allay it. The pain was very uncertain in its attacks. Mr. Mayer did not appear near his death on the day he died. He was very ill, but death was not expected that day. About two months before his death he was very much concerned about a nest of throstles (thrushes) which he had in his garden. He regretted the loss very much, and Mr. Wedg wood brought two old ones, which were put in a cage and placed near the place the nest used to be. She did not notice more particularly that the day before hl death a large number of letters were lying on his table unopened. Ann Faire said she lived in Mr. Mayer's service for 11 years before his death. She recollected the last witness coming to wait on him. She saw Mr. Mayer frequently before his death, and he always appeared quite right in his mind. By Mr. Chambers—She gave him his food. He got worse and worse, and died on a Thursday. He was very bad a week before his death. She did not recollect seeing old Mr. Abingdon there at that time. He never went into Mr. Mayer's bedroom without he was invited up, Mr. Abingdon called frequently, and appeared very anxious about Mr. Mayer a week before his death. Mr. A stle called once and saw Mr. Mayer. On the Tuesday before his death, Mr. Mayer sent for Mr. Abingdon, junior, and he slept in the house until he (Mr. Mayer) died. She had never told any persons when they called that Mr. Mayer was not in a state to do business. He was able to do writing business. She had seen him write before his death, but he was not propped up with pil lows. He was not able to attend to business a week before his death. She did not know that during that time he was attending to business, because she left the room. By the Judge—Weakness of body prevented him doing any business. He perfectly understood everything that passed, Wm, Chester, gardener to the testator, said he always went of a morning to his master's bedroom to receive orders. Up to the day before his death Mr. Mayer gave him direc tions the same as usual, and always appeared to understand everything he said. The case is not expected to conclude to• day. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) A CITY MERCHANT SUED BY A RAILWAY COMPANY FOR 2s. 10D.—SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. FLA TEAU This was an action to recover 2s. 10d. under circum stances of considerable importance to persons receiving re turned goods. It appeared that defendant sent a parcel of boots to a customer in Maidstone named Marchmont, and Marchmont, after examining them, refused to accept them from the plaintiff, but returned them to defendant. The goods were taken to defendant's warehouse, and he, after the delivery, refused to pay more than ls. 6d., the carriage from Maidstone. Defendant pointed out to-day that the sum in dispute was but ls, 4d., but he did not see why he should be called upon to pay this, because it was not his debt. Mr. March mont had opened the package, or he could not have told whether the goods were equal to the sample. If Mr. Marchmont chose to open the package, it was clear he was liable to pay the carriage. A person who appeared for the company said that the consignee at Maidstone refused to receive the goods, and directed the company to take them back to defendant. The company's carrier told defendant that there was carriage to pay, and defendant said he would pay it. His Honour—The company have a lien upon the goods, and they are entitled to hold them until they are satisfied. You (defendant) have received the parcel with all its liabi• lities, and if you have any claim for the Is. 4d. it is rather against your customer at Maidstone than plaintiffs, who are entitled to a verdict, with costs. Verdict for plaintiffs. Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. The half-yearly award of commissions and dis tribution of prizes to the gentlemen cadets of the Royal Military Academy, by the Duke of Cambridge (in accordance with previous examination by the Council of Military Education), took place yester day afternoon in the Gymnasium at the rear of the institution, in the presence of a large number of military officers, professors, and masters of the academy, and relatives and friends of the students.; The several classes of cadets assembled on the lawn fronting the building at half-past two o'clock, with the Royal Artillery band, and carried out a series of manual and platoon exercises in a highly credi table manner. At half-past three a salute from a battery of artillery announced the arrival of his royal highness and his staff. The line of gentlemen cadets having been inspected front and rear, they marched past at slow and quick time, and subsequently carried out various evolutions. The cadets then marched in companies to the Gymnasium, and formed into square near the table which contained the numerous prizes for presentation. The pro ceedings commenced by Major. General Hamilton reading the report of the Council of Military Edu cation, which stated that of 44 cadets of the first class, 42 had been found qualified for commissions in the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers. 12 commissions in the Royal Engineers had been an nounced ; the 12 senior cadets on the list having elected for that service, the remainder were recom mended for commissions in the Royal Artillery. In the first class, the examiner in fortifications, field works, and bridges, considered the reSult very satisfactory, every one of the cadets having obtained a higher credit than half the total num ber in the minimum course, and the nature of the answers showed that the subjects had been carefully studied. The examiner in chemistry reported the results to be on the whole satisfactory. In the second class, the progress in German and other subjects of study had been satisfactory. In the third class, the progress had also been very satisfactory. In Hindostani, the grammatical questions had been fairly answered, and considerable progress had been made in draw ing. Col. Yorke, R.E., then read a report from Major• Gen. Sandham, Lieutenant-Governor of the Acadmy, which stated that the whole of the first class, who had just been under examination, were fully qualified for commissions, as regards conduct, discipline, and proficiency in military exercises. The number of marks gained by each cadet for for tifications, mathematics, and other branches of study, as certified by the Council of Military Education. were then read over, and the following successful candidates were called to the front by his royal highness, and informeel, that they would receive commissions, as under (the numbers given being the marks gained by each) For the Royal Engineers-1.

He will leave again in - a few days on a tour in France, Belgium, and Germany, and will not return to Madrid until the opening of the Legislative Chambers." THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—This Evening. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. HAMPSTEAD HEATH. Lord E BURY presented a petition from the Metropolitan Board of Works, praying their lordships not to give their assent to the 21st clause of the Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Act Amendment Bill, by which a power would be given to cErta 4 n persons to enclose and build on Hampstead Heath. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Elginshire and Nairnshire Roads, and the Water ford and Passage and Ferry Bills were read a second time. THIRD READINGS. The Ashbourne, Sudbury, and Yortallßridge—Colling wood Road, and the Cork and Youghall Railway Bills were read a third time and passed. THE CASE OF CAPT. WHITE. In reply to the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, Earl RUSSELL stated that the papers in reference to this case were not yet ready. MILFORD DOCK BILL. This bill was placed on the paper for a third reading, but in consequence of some objections having been made it was not proceeded with. The Earl of CARNARVON wished to know the reason for not proceeding with the measure, and also why the Ad miralty had withdrawn their opposition to the bill which they had opposed some years ago. The Duke of SOMERSET said the measure was opposed in the first instance because it would interfere very largely with the tidal water, and also because ships proceeding to the dock would anchor in a channel which would prove a great obstruction to Pembroke Dockyard. It had been ascer tained that the bill now before Parliament would not affect the tidal water to the same extent as the former one, and as a clause had been inserted which would limit the anchorage of ships in the channel he had before alluded to one tide, the Admiralty considered their objections had in a great measure been removed, and as the docks would prove a great public advantage, they had no objection to the bill being read a third time. Lord RE DESDALE said the bill had been placed for a third reading in the ordinary manner as an unopposed bill, but as it was found there were objections to it, it had been removed. He would tale care that noble lords should have due notice when the bill was set down for a third reading. The subject then dropped. SUITORS' CONCILIATION BILL. Lord BROUG II &AI said he should postpone pressing for a second reading of this bill until Tuesday next.' WAYWARDEN'S CONTRACTS BILL. Lord REDESDALE moved the second reading of this bill. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said the bill was en tirely unnecessary, because the matter had already been dealt with by previous legislation. This bill ‘ 7 9-1;s read a second time. LEASES AND SALES OF SETTLED ESTATE ACT AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the house went into committee on this bill. Lord CHELMSFORD moved an addition to one of the clauses, which, in effect, gave Sir T. M. Wilson the power to apply to the Court of Chancery for permission to build on certain portions of his estate. Lord EBURY said he had just presented a petition from the Board of "Works against such a provision as was sought to be introduced into the bill by the noble lordd's addition. He thought it would certainly interfere with the passing of the measure, as the House of Commons only last evening rejected a bill which had been introduced for about the sixth time, by which Sir Thomas Wilson would be en abled to apply to the Court of Chancery for permission to grant building leases on certain portions of his estate which he was not at liberty to do at present. The proviso of Lord Chelmsford was added to the bill. [LETT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.---This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : The Buckley Railway, the Launceston and South Devon Railway, and the Yarmouth Gas, CHINA. Lord NAAS gave notice that in consequence of the ab sence of the noble lord at the head of the Government, which they all deplored, he should not bring on his motion on China to-night. Sir G. GREY said the noble lord had requested him to express his regret at his unavoidable absence through in disposition.He would therefore postpone his:rnotion on for tifications until Monday next, and immediately after that was disposed of, would proceed with the vote for the Ex hibition building. CHINESE INDEMNITY. Col. SYKES asked the Secretary of the Treasury how it is intended to appropriate the balance of nearly half a million of dollars of the first Chinese indemnity remaining in the Treasury, and whether any rejected claims will be reconsidered ? _ _ Mr. PEEL said no claims would be reopened with re gard to the half-million dollars. He imagined they were paid to meet the expenses of the army. BERNARD M'LAUGHLIN. Mr. HENNESSY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the attention of thelPoor .law Commissioners has been called to the conduct of the Board of Guardians of the Innishowen Union, in refusing to allow a sick :inmate of the workhouse, named Bernard M‘Laughlin, half a pound of bread, which had been ordered by the medical :officer as extra diet. EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND. Mr. DUNLOP asked the Lord Advocate whether it was the intention of the Government to issue a commission of inquiry into the state of education in Scotland, and whether if so, the putting of the Revised Code in operation in that part of the United Kingdom would be postponed until the result of such inquiry be reported ? MARY ANNE WALKLEY. Mr. DAWSON asked the Secretary of State for the Home Departmentwhether his attention had been drawn to the case of Mary Anne Walkley, decease 3, and the word ing of the verdict delivered by the coroner's inquest em panneled to investigate the circumstances of her death; and if it would not be desirable and humane to introduce legislation for the purposes of limiting and defining the hours of labour in millinery and other establishments where females are employed ? Sir G. GREY said his attention had been called to the subject. He could only repeat what he said the other night, that it would be impossible to establish a system of regis tration applicable to rooms in private houses. CONVICT PRISONS. Mr. H. SEYMOUR asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why the report of the directors of Irish convict prisons had not been laid upon the table of the house ? Sir G. GREY said the report was presented about a week ago, but he was not responsible for its distribution. He thought that rested with the officers of the house. THE MHOW COURT-MARTIAL.

PLATE ROBBERY BY AN AREA SNEAK —Thomas Tyer, a well-known thief, was brought before Mr. Wool rych, charged with stealing four tablespoons, three dessert spoons, three forks, a pair of sugar-tongs, two saltspoons, and six teaspoons, all silver, and valued at about £lO, from the residence of Mr. Kiddill, a builder, of No. 11, Adding ton-road, Bow-road. On Monday last, between the hours of 11 and half-past one o'clock the kitchen of Mr. Kiddill's residence was entered in the temporary absence of the servant, and the plate above mentioned stolen from a cupboard. The kitchen window had been incautiously left open, and the thief had no difficulty in obtaining an entrance. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner who is a well known "area sneak," and another man of the same character, and whose pursuits are similar. The prisoner and bis confederate were seen near Mr. Kiddill's house before the robbery, and the prisoner was seen coming away from the direction of the Addington-road. He was taken into custody yesterday afternoon in a place called Gloucester-gardens, Bethnal green. Police Sergeant Pullen, No. 10 K, a detective officer, said the prisoner was a well known thief, and had been already convicted. Two witnesses identified the prisoners, and it was stated that if be was remanded other evidence would be forth coming. Inspector Kerressey, who heard of the robbery a few minutes after it was committed, had sent police-constables in all directions in search of the thieves and the property, but their efforts wore unsuccessful, and it is feared the plate has been melted down. The prisoner denied all participation in the robbery, and said he was not in or near the Addington-road on Monday last. Mr. Woolrych remanded the prisoner for a week, SHIPPING—This Day.

Minghet ti's friends, Gen. Cilldiniand Prince Simonetta. The latter, having the choice of arms, decided that the duel should be fought with cavalry sabres. M. Rattazzi, who had never had a sabre in his band in his life took two fencing lessons with that arm in the course of the day, N. Minghetti was nearly as unskilled as his adversary. At five o'clock this morning NM. Tecchio and Malenchini Dr. Spirino, and M. Rattazzi went to Stupingi, the pl ace ' chosen for the rencontre. They found MM. Cialdini, Simonetta, and Minghetti already on the ground. The two first passes produced no result, N. Rattazzi seemed to fight with desperation, while N. Minghetti appeared more anxious to defend himself than to attack.' At the third assault M. Rattazzi was slightly wounded in the right arm, a little be low the shoulder. Notwithstanding this wound he continued to fight, but after the fourth assault Gen, Cialdini and the other seconds put an end to the contest. It does not appear that MM. Minghetti and Rattazzi were reconciled after their duel." The greater part of the troops forming the gar rison of Paris being at a considerable distance from Vin cennes where the target shooting takes place, the troops, fatigued from having marched there from their barracks, are liable to attacks of illness from the great heat. Marshal Maznan has consequently ordered that during the months of July and August the target-shooting shall not be con tinued later than ten in the morning.
