The Bank return is made up to the evening of the Ist inst., so that it comprises the close of the late and the opening of the current quarter. All its variations are associated with the changes caused by a general adjustment and balancing of half-yearly accounts. The public deposits show a large reduction. This is the result of the payment of salaries of public officers. The private deposits show an increase of nearly two millions sterling : on the other hand the private se curities show an increase of upwards of two millions, from which it may be inferred that of the advances obtained in anticipation of the half-yearly dividends, by far the largest proportion has not been used at all, except by way of reserve. Consequent upon those changes the reserve has declined to about the same amount as the private securities have increased ; while the circulation has enlarged little more than a million. The following are the principal variations compared with the position of the bank last week : Increase in Circulation £1,070,474 Decrease in Public Deposita Increase in other Deposits ... Decrease in Government Securities ... 80,163 Increase in other Securities .. 2,291,358 Decrease in Bullion ••• 211,760 Increase in Rest . 37,044 Decrease in Reserve 13 ullion in both Departments .....22,751,221 Reserve in Notes and Coin Circulation, in Bank Post Bills. 25,224,056 The return of paid clearing for the week ending Wednesday, July 1, as certified by Mr. J.

Wallace, licensed victualler, Princes's-street, Lei cester-square, and attempting to steal his gold watch and chain of the value of £3O. Mr. Wallace said that about 12 o'clock last night, hearing a noise outside of his house, he went out to ascertain the cause, when the prisoner Salter struck him, the other prisoner being along with him, and at the same time a grab was made at his watch and chain, but fortunately it was not taken. In answer to Mr. Knox, The prosecutor said that he cuuld not say that it was either of the prisoners who made the grab a t his watch chain, but the prisoners had some females with them. Phil Rer, 202 C, proved seeing both prisoners strike the prosecutor, and said they behaved with violence on the way to the station. Sergeant Appleton said that, while at the sta tion, he heard Salter say to the other, '6 We have - well Judased the old block's sling and poke." Mr. Knox asked the sergeant to be good enough to translate the expression. Sergeant Appleton said " Jadased" meant " stolen," " sling" meant " chain," and " poke" meant " watch." Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners that they might be seen by the police. WESTMINSTER. PUBLIC OBLIGATION.—A respectable-looking, middle aged woman, was charged with robbing Philip Elliss, 39, Moore-street, Chelsea, of his watch. • _ Prosecutor, a gentleman's servant, said he was proceeding home last night through Exeter-street, Sloane-street, Chelsea, at about 10 minutes to 12, when he was accosted by the prisoner, and they walked side by side in civil conversation until they arrived at the corner of Hans-street, where she broke his watch from the swivel of the chain. He felt his loss, and had no sooner done so than she started off in full speed with his watch, and when he attempte I to follow he was stopped by an accomplice, a man who was lurking about. He got rid of him, and came up with the prisoner in Pant-street. Finding she had no chance of escape, she put the watch into his waistcoat-pocket, and again and again entreated mercy. He refused to let her go, and took her to the station on " public grounds," considering he should not do his duty to the public if he did other wise. Mr. Selfe—Tho public'is much indebtel to Yon, but the public may be of opinion that it would have been wiser on your part if you bad not walked side by side with her in casual conversation. It was proved that prosecutor was much affected by drink and very violent. Prisoner was remanded for a week. THAMES. NOT TO BE CAUGHT NAPPING.--Inspector Thom son, of the Detective Department of Police, Scot land-yard, waited on Mr. Benson, and stated that he had received notice from Messrs. Wontner and Sons, solicitors, stating that it was their intention to offer bail for Oscar Ruemans, a Jew, committed for trial, with two others, for being concerned in dealing with forged RussiAn rouble notes. His worship had consented to take bail for Ruemans, hie own personal recognisances in £6OO and two sureties of £3OO each. The bail offered on Monday was objected to by Mr. Sleigh, counsel for the Russian Government, as insufficient, and the objection was allowed. Two names had been fur nished him by Messrs. Wontner and San. He had since made inquiries as to the sufficiency of the bail. One man was very respectable and wealthy, and he told him he bad no objection to his bail. The gentleman said he had reconsidered the matter and would not become surety for Ruemans. To the other person named he had a decided objection as insufficient, and not worth £3OO. Mr. Benson said if the prisoner Ruemans was bailed, he would have to appear on Monday at the Old Bailey Sessions, and as one of the proposed securities had declined to bail Ruemans, he should require twenty-four hours' notice to be given through the inspector, if any one else was proposed. lie thought the inspector had better wait and ascer tain who would be proposed as bail. Inspector Thomson said a telegraphic message hal jitst reached the station-house that he was re qnired at Scotland-yard on business immediately, and he must return. Mr. Benson said he would bear in mind the re port of the inspector, if any parson were tendered as bail for Ruemans, and he certainly should not accept the party named after what had been stated. Inspector Thomson said the respectable firm of Wontner and San would not offer any one as bail unless they were assured that the sureties proposed had sufficient assets to meet any contingency ; but the friends of the prisoner were not so particular, and he knew there would be an attempt to defeat the course of justice if possible. Mr. Benson—l am glad your attention has been called to this matter. Inspector Thomson—l am not to be caught nap. Ping. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVEN SHARE LIST.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' eight was on the last date about lit j per cent. At this rate there la scarcely any profit on the importation of gold front the United states. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—Lieutenant Robert W.

(From Trilkeis Spirit of the Times) " All the sports of the field are delightful, I own, But none can with shooting compare ; 'Tis a joy that entices the king from his throne, 'Tis a joy that the wisest may share. The voice of the hound on the breeze of the morn, The note of the bugle may please ; The song of the wild bird is sweet from the thorn, But the gun has more music than these." " My dour fellow!" exclaimed our ever-jovial friend, Fred. P., as he entered our office one fine October morn ing, and saluted us with a stinging spank on the back that drove our pen quarter of an inch into the desk, spoiled a nearly finished apologetic letter to our principal creditor, and " obfusticatod" us generally. You certainly must be fully aware that It is brilliant autumn time, the most br:lliant time of all, When the gorgeous woods are gleaming ero the leaves Login to fall ;' and that, at this season of the yoar, a true sportsman ought to seize upon every opportunity that offers to free himself from ‘Fumum et apes strepitumque ItJrnae,' and engage in his favourite pursuit; therefore, as I have just received a letter from our good friend, Laurain C. mating that game of various kinds is quite abundant in his vicinity, it is but reasonable to suppose that you will at once got together your shooting apparatus, and take with me this afternoon's trai❑ for S., where, if we meet with no great sport, we can enjoy at least two pleasant evenings at the snug little tavern of our genial and respected Uucls Joe.' " Now, all this was very fine, but it was likewis 3 very sudden, and we said so; but Fred., who knows cur " weakness for guns and gunning," and whose p )wers of persuasion are most'potent, assured us that he had deter mined not only to go himself, but that we shoukl accom pany him, and at the end of five minutes we had uncon ditionally agreed to do so. Accordingly, at four o'clock we repaired to the railway station, secured soats in a com fortable smoking car, lit a our meerschaums, and soon were flying along the rails at a thirty-mile rate, toward the town of M. Hero a clumsy stage-coach was found in waiting, on the top of which we established ourselves and th 3 dogs, and after a jolt of five miles over a succession of rough hills, we wero set down in "apparent goodorder " at Uncle Jog's door. And perhaps we did not receive a hearty welcome from the veteran himself, who is blessed with " a voice as clear and strong as a northwest wind, and a great laugh suitable to it ;" perhaps we were not warmly welcomed by some half-a-dozen old acquaintances, congregated in the little bar-room; and perhaps we were not most cordially invited to " take it hot, with sugar"—well, perhaps ! We know, however, that in a very short time after our arrival we were summoned to partake of a supper such as an old fashioned country tavern only can furnish, and are confi dent that the profits accruing therefrom, if any, must have been infinitesimal, for we " ate the table clean to the dishes." Having accomplished this gastronomic feat, wo returned to the bar-room, where, in the midst of a weather-crops cattle-affairs-of-the-nation-discussing assembly, entertain ment was found until about nine o'clock, when, at the suggestion of Laurain 0., before mentioned—an old shoot ing companion, and, by the way, a capital shot —a party of kindred spirits adjourned to the back room of the tavern, the very appearance of which is suggestive of rollicking times ; and here, with stories, songs, jokes, the fragrant weed, and a liberal supply of pure and strong substitute for vinum Samium, we enjoyed ourselves until past eleven, when, remembering that we should have to rise early on the following morning, we bade the company (who showed no signs of adjourning) good night, sought our small but neat apartment, and submitted ourselves to the arms of Somnus. A ringing knock upon the door, accompanied by the voice of Jake, the hostler, aroused us at daybreak, and, quickly donning our sporting rigs, we descended to the dining-room, where a hearty breakfast awaited. This was soon disposed of, and the dogs having been fed—a du►y which we invariably attend to ourselves, believing with Dr. Lewis that it attaches the animal to his master, and consequently makes him the more subservient to his will, and therefore the more anxious to do that which will merit his caresses and kind treatment—the " pocket pis tols " filled, and some minor matters duly attended to, we shouldered our guns, and, with the best wishes for a suc cessful day from Uncle Joe, took our departure for the field. • Having agreed the previous evening to meet our friend Laurain at his house, distant about a mile and a half front the village, we took the pleasant road leading thereto, and proceeded leisurely along, enjoying the golden sunlight, the cool, bracing air, the sight of the beautiful though fading fields of meadows, carpeted with richest green, and of the silent, shady woods arrayed in their brilliant vestments, and, in fact, all the innumerable autumnal attractions of nature, with a zest appreciable only by those horn rich in the eyes and ears," to which class we profess to belong. "It must have been just such a morning as this,' remarked Fred, " that the poet had in mind whin ho wrote : "The sun in mellow light sleeps on the hills, The lazy river rolls in silence on, The woods keep Sabbath, 'till the deep-mouthed bay Of wandering fox-hound breaks upon the ear ; Or horn the top of an old chestnut falls The tempting nut the startled sluirrel drops, Parting the fading leaves with pattering sound ; Or on the rotten log beside the stile, The busy partridge beats her woodland drum. The frost has tipped the tree, with lovelier tints Than pencil over gave to forest scone ; There, green and gold in various hues combine, Spotted with crimson where the maple stands, And when the sun upon the hoar-frost shines, The foliage sparkles, as though crystal hung On every leaf, and trembled in the air." " Aye, it must, indeed," we replied, "and graphically has he described it." At eight o'clock we arrived at L.'s, and found him armed andand equippedfor ould k the day's company, dasspor, and almost as eager as ourselves to be at work ; so it waslesaovoinngarursantgoe,d,shtohoatt on our own book," as we have bad a decided preference for doing, ever since a good friend and usually careful sportsman accidentally demonstrated the maximum of proximity attainable between a charge oi No. 8 shot and the best head we ever possessed, " without any collision of continuous particles of matter." IVe there fore started off again with our setter, following the road until opposite the farm-house of old Charley D., who caught sight of us as NVO were passing, and coming out greeted us warmly, and insisted upon our accom panying him into his cellar to taste some cider " that would do our heart good." We found the sparklin: bever age possessed of all the virtues ascribed to it by its whole souled, skilful, and experienced manufacturer, but were, perhaps, better pleased with the information ho gave us that there were " heaps of quail in them 'ar stubbles over by the back road," which information of coursa was not calculated to prolong our stay, and wo soon took our leave with the expressed intention of proceeding forthwith to the said stubbles. Our sport, however, was destined to commence before reaching them, for, as we were travers ing a tract of rocky pasture land, lying a little distance in the rear of the farm buildings, our Better suddenly came to a stand on the edge of one of the small patches of berry bushes with which the surface was here and there covered, and the next moment a fine hare broke from the opposite side and was making off with very little ceremony, when a well-directed shot keeled him over neatly, just as he topped a hillock some thirty yards dis tant. "Well, well, but this will do for a beginning—eh, Wasp, old fellow ? A few more of this species will not come unacceptable, certainly. And now we think of it, those woods yonder aro the same in which we enjoyed such superb cock-shooting a few seasons ago. Perchance we may find master Scolopax at home' to-day ;at any rate it's likely they contain game of some sort, so here goes ;" and, having reloaded, we continued on our way. Lying on the edge of the woods, and divided therefrom by a crooked rail-fence, along which grew a tangled hedge of bushes and tell weeds, was a small field, into which we bad scarcely entered when Wasp commenced quartering and feathering in fine style, and presently stood squeaely on game, close to the before-mentioned fence. What that game was we had no means of knowing, though from the locality we strongly suspected quail ; but considering it very probable that it might be grouse, and wishing in that case to test the truth of the assertion that grouse will bear the presence of a dog, or even the report of a gun, much better than they will a single sound of the human voice, we stood perfectly still, and speaking in an ordinary tone found, sure enough, that such was the fact, for in an instant, whirr! whirr! up got a brace of fine full-grown members of the genus Tetra°, whose electrify ing rush was quickly followed by a couple of ringing re ports, " smoke, feathers, and falling birds." " Down! Wasp, down ! By Jove, the neatest double shot we ever made in our life I If it be an augury of the success that is to attend us to-day, ours will be a respectable bag." SCARCITY OF WATER IN WEST SURREY.—The continued drought has dried up the ponds and broiks, and the greatest difficulty is experienced in procuring a supply for cattle.

In committee on the Boundaries bill, E:u•l BEAUCHAMP moved an amendment to the effect that the recommendations of the Royal Commissioners, extending the Parliamentary limits of Birkenhead and Birmingham, should he substituted for the provision in the bill founded on the suggestion of the► select committee of the House of Commons retaining the existing Parlia mentary bound.u•ies of those places. . . . E.,rl GRAN VILLE appealed to the Govoirnmont not to support the amendment. He contended that; the Ministry was bound in honour, after the dxlaration:s made by Mr. Disraeli, to adhere to the changes effected by the House of Cotumens as a compromise. lie deprecated the idea of their lordships' house being male the means of carrying out the views of a minority of the House of Cot tmons. The Earl of MALMESBURY expressed his opinion that it was out of the power of any Ministry to control the action of the House of Loris by speeches n ado iu the House of Commons. Earl RUSSELL declared that Mr. Disraeli had dis tinctly stated, after the bill assumed its present shape, that the question of LauudAries was settled ; and it vould be a breach of faith on the part of the Government u.ow to dis turb the settleincut. th-3 conclusion of hi , speech the noble lord left the house, accompanied by n',arly all the occupants of the front Opposition bench. Their departure was the signal for derisive cheering aad laughter on the Ministerial side.] _ _ _ The Duke of ARGYLL—Unquestionably an intimation was given to the hous3 that the Boundary Bill was vir tually s ttied. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH—I say no! The Duke of ARGYLL—I say yes ! (Laughter.) The Prime Minister said : " Now the Scotch Reform Bill and the Boundary Bill, though they have not yet left this house, may be regarded as virtually settled." I venture to think that if the House of Commons had sup posed the Government would act in the way they seem disposed •to do in this case it is more than probable that the vote of want of confidence of which the noble earl speaks would have been come to. There was a distinct understanding given to the House of Commons that the Government would in these matters be bound by its deci sion. That appears to have been the condition on which the Government, though in a minority, has been allowed to carry on the public business. I think, therefore, it is a direct offence to the House of Commons that a Govern ment in a minority there should make use of its power in the House of Lords to upset decisions come to in the House of Commons. _ _ _ The LORD UHANCELLOR denied that the Govern ment were bound to accept the report of the select com mittee. After some further discussion, Lord Granville and the leading members of the Opposition left the house in a body, declining to take part in the further discussion of the point. The Duke of 31ARLBOROUGLI protested against the courso Liken as unwarrantable, and as au insult to the house. Lord EVERSLEY strongly defended the report of the Boundary Commissioners, and declared that he entirely differed from the decision which the select committee of the House of Commons had arrived at. E rl BEAUCHAMP said he was told that the motion came on the house by surprise. He denied that such was the fact, but in order that there should be no ground for the charge., ho would muva that the debate be adjourned until llouday. After some conversation, The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and the debate was adjourned. Their lordships shortly afterwards separated. HOUSE OF COMMONS—Lxsr EVENING. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock. Mr. E. EGERTON (answering a question fr )m Mr. Layard) stated that a commercial treaty with Austria had been signed at Vienna on Wednesday. Sir S. NORTHCOTE (in answer to Mr. Bouverie and Mr. Bazley) gave some explanations of his dealings with the East Indio. Irrigation Company; and the house after wards spent some hours in Committee of Supply on the Navy Estimates. Mr. HARDY replied by pointing out that there was no abridgment of the processes of registration, and the Select Committee had satisfied itself that no mischief could hap pen from shortening the revision. The house was:cleared for a divisioa, but the opposition was not pushed to this length, and the bill passed through Committee without an amendment, except that clause 29 was struck out. The Corrupt Practices Bill Mr. Disraeli fixed for the first order on Monday, adding significantly that this ar rangement would give the house an opportunity of pass ing the bill if it desired. A considerable number of bills wero forwarded a star, and the house adjourned at 25 mioues past 1 o'clock. SUPPLY—NAVY ESTIMATES. The Louse then wont into committee of supply, when Lord EL LENNOX, the Secretary of the Ada - I:ratty, moved the remaining votes. On vote 3, for the salaries and expanses of the Admi ralty-office, Mr. LUSK complained of the continued growing - excess of this vole. lie, th3refore, on the present occasion moved that it be reduced by the sum of £G,300, the amount by which the vote for the present year exceeded that of last year. On Vote 4 (Coastguard Service, &c.), a reduction of X 20,000 for the Royal Naval Reserve was made. It was suggested by Admiral Erskine, and accepted by Lord 11. Lennox (who, in the absence of Mr. Corry, had charge of the Estimates), on its b3ing shown to involve no effoctivo reduction, but a mere question of account. On Vote 6 (Dockyards), Lori IL LENNOX explained various changes recently made in the shipbuilding pro gramme for the year, the principal items of which are that the new turret ship will be built in the dockyar 1, and the ship of the Invincible class in a private yard, thus revers ing the original arrangement. A new Osborne is also to be laid down this year, and Deptford yard will be closed at the earliest possible moment. Lord floury also took the opportunity of defending the success of the Admiralty in shipbuilding, specially replying to Otptain M'Kinuon's recent criticisms on the performances of some of our iron clads. There was a long and desultory conversation on the questions connected with the Vote, and it was ulti mately agreed to on the understanding that the discus sion on the shipbuilding policy of the Admiralty will be taken on Vote 10. At half-past 10 the house, according to previous arrange ment, took up the Registration Bill, and its committal was preceded by a livelyand energetic prutest against its whole policy from the Cons 3rvative bm'thes. The first note was raised by Col. BA.RTTELOT, who expatiated on the absurdity of extending the franchise atd in the same breath passing a bill which would prevent thousands from getting on the register. Col. MELLER enforced the same objection to the bill, but with even greater vehemence, and Mr SMOLLETT, in his usual caustic vein, ridiculed the notion of meeting in Decemb3r merely to decide whether Mr. Gladstone should cross from the left to the right of the Speaker.. Despite loud cries of " Question" from the Op position, Mr. Smollett persisted in raking up the events of the session to point his taunt that nobody desired this in terruption of the ordinary course but the satellites round Mr. Gladstone, who expected to come in with hint ; for the Liberal party, if they had not mistrusted their osten sible leader, could have changed the Government at the beginning of this Session.

The LORD CIiANCELL'Et toil{ his 6.31 t 05 the woolsack at fire o'clock. THE. CONDUCT OF TIIE IIOU3E. The Earl of M LMESI3UIIY sail that he rose with rel dime to the conduct of the noble lords opposite is leav ing the house as they did last night. He did no! think th.tt there was in the recollection of th, oldest member of the house a similar scene. lie would not say that it was disrespectful to the Govern ment but to the House, and it was not discussing the met t-r with thatequanimity which ought to distinguish them. Why, after admittingthe amendment of Government on th, Scotch bill on Tuesday, should the question be brought et. again last night ? Why should the Opposition memberr leave the hous in the way they did? Ile said it as solemn]) as he conld, bo• h before and after the noble lords kft the house, that the Government did not iutend to deceive the house at all. He would read thorn a letter from the Prime Mi nister, in which he stated that ho read with astonishment the scene which tookplace in the 'louse of Lords last night. lie asserted that his statement was distorted, and that all he thought to express was, that he thought that, in re viewing the business of the house he had done with the two points in discussion. He would now explain what the Government iutentled to do. They have put off the Boundary Bill and the Scotch Reform Bill till Monday next, and they must ask their noble friends not to in ist on the amendments of which they had given notice. They had been long taunted with a desire to remain in office from vulgar and mercenary motives; therefore, they wished to have a general election as soon as passible, and they had so managed matters that it could take place in November next. They must remember that the registration must under the Reform Bill take place by the 20th of this month, and that four day's clear notice must be given. Therafcro the Boundary and Scotch Bills must be passed and receive the Royal assent by Friday next, and there fore they must resist all amendments to them. (Heart hear.) Earl RUSSELL said that their only complaint was against the Ministers of the Crown, and that the conduct of the'Opposition was justified by the unusual conduct of the Government, who might have proposed an adjourn ment to ascertain what in reality the First Minister of the Crown did say. Earl BEAUCHAMP said that the OppDsition peers had left the House because they considered that the Govern ment had been guilty of a breach of faith. Now he must de precate the fact that no rotractation was made. They had not thought fit to withdraw the imputation on the prin ciple, he supposed, that if one threw mud enough some of it would stick. He animadverted upon the fuss that had been made by the noble lords opposite as to Reform, and the little that they had done. (Ironical cheers.) The Duke of MONTROSE said that ho did not think for one moment that there had been any breach of faith, and if ho had he should not have brought any amendment forward. The accusation appeared to him so unfounded that he wondered how they could sit there and not acknowledge it. The Marquis of SALISBURY said that they were endea vouring to decide a question which the House of Com mons ought to decide. if Mr. Disraeli had given a pledge perhaps his followers were ignorant of it. He thought it was quite a question for the House of Commons. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the greatest se dative that the house could have was, that when an angry discussion arose for one side of the house to walk out. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF CONIMONS.—This DAT. The SPEAKER took the Chair at two o'clock. GOVERNMENT OF INpIA. ACT AMENDMEN T BILL. Sir S. NORTHCOTE said that as this bill stood for committee after the Metropolitan Foreign Cattle Market Bill, and as the principle of the bill had already been dis cussed, ho suggested that the bill should go through com mittee without further opposition, and the new clauses might be proposed upon bringing up the report. METROPOLITAN FOREIGN CATTLE MARKET BILL. On the motion forgoing into committee on this bill, the object of which, it will be recollected, was to establish a foreign cattle market at the river side, near B irking, at which foreign cattle alone were to be sell and slaughtered and thence conveyed to the metropolis, Mr. CORRA.NOE rose to rep'y to the speech of Mr. M. Gibson, and denial that ho W.t9 inflaenced by anything but the future good in supporting the measure. fie thought that if they ware to wait until a general law imposing legal restrictions on foreign cattle were passed they would have to wait long enough. He denied that the passing of the measure would stop the supply of beef, which which was now by no moans so common in Salford, Manchester, and Birmingham as the right hon. gentle man (Mr. M. Gibson) had pointed out. He fully agreel that the interest of the consumers ought to be consi dered, as those consumers had to pay fur restrictions of all kinds. Mr. GLADSTONE thought the pressing forward the present bill at the end of the session Il ls entering on an endless controversy. The noble lord, in the course of his speech, appeared to condemn the trade in foreign cattle as at present carried on, and he could only say that he thought the endeavour to pass sueh a law as that now under the consideration of the house for London, without passing statutory restrictions for the government of the cattle trade at the other ports of the country, was of itself quite sufficient to delay the consideration of the present measure f..r an indefinite time. (Rear.) He thought the attempt to prevent the reintroduction of the cattle plague by such arrangements as the measure proposed quite useless, and ho was also much opposed to the pre sent bill, as it appeared to him to be the desire of the noble lord to set aside executive discretion in favour of statu tory. I ter. Another p o i n t th a t h a d b e en passed over by the noble lord was that of the finance of the new market. It had been statei that the outlay to establish the market was put dowu at £300,000, but as it ha I been admitted compensation would have to bo also considered, he thought that the cost of the scheme would be more likely to amount to half a million. If the public were to become speculators in slaughter-houses, ha thought they ought to know where the half million of meeey required was to come from, and in what manner the revenue was to be raised to pay the interest on the sum required. (Hear, hear.) He hoped the noble lord would explain that matter to them when he next addressed them. It was said the Corporation of London might become the parties to carry out the provisions of the bill, but suppos ing they declined then commissioners w be appointed by the Crown, but that showed to him most strongly that in the event of any deficiency it would have to bo made up from the national resources. The ratepayers of the metropolis had rightly or wrongly got it into their heads that the passing of the bill would increase the price of meat, and:it would require very strong arguments to convince them them that such was not the case. (Hear, hear.) Giving the Government every credit for a desire to increase and cheapen the supply of good and whole some food to the public, rather than an attempt to revert to protection, notwithstanding the little slips of the tongue that now and then were ma le by hon. gentlemen opposite, he hoped they would not persevere with this bill before all matters of detail were clearly set forth and settled. Mr. HENLEY supported the bill. The right hon. gen tleman had carefully guarded himself from saying ono word as to whether there ought,or ought not to be a sepa rate market —(hear, hoar)—and also why they should not take a stop in the right direction —(hear, hear)—provided the bill was a good one. He thought it a pity tha t the difficulty of the matter should be increased by the assertions made on the other side of the house that the bill was brought forward for electioneering purposes. (Hear, hear.) He thought the bill was calculated to effect a great benefit by the establishm3nt of a separate market for foreign cattle, and therefore he should give his vote for . going into committee. Mr LOWE said the groat question before the house was whether there should b 3 a s3cond rant market for the metropolis. (Hear, hear.) He did not think that the question of finance ought to preclude them from proceeding with the bill, because, if it was a good one, resources could easily be discovered to carry it into effect. He for one was not to be precluded from doing 30115 good because he could not effect all, and he dil not agr3e with his right hon. friend the member for Ashton in his wholesale con demnation of the. bill, beetusa it wis not what he (Mr. Gibson) called a great and comprehensive measure. With respect to the bill increasing the price of meat, that was a subject he could not enter upon; but this he knew that the butchers of the metropolis had deluged ovary member of Parliament with pamphlets, they had retained eminent counsel to oppose the bill, and taken other expensive steps, and all for what? Why, as they say, to cheapen the price of meat. (A laugh.) He thought the bill only proposed to do that which in itself seemed wise to do, and therefore he should vote for its going into committee. Mr. GOSOIIEN said that as the proposed market was to be made at the expense of metropohtan consumers and ratepayers, he should strenuously oppose the further pro gress of the bill. Mr. READ supported the bill. LEFT reZdalliCk. SPORTING INTEL LIGENOE —This Day. BY ELEURIC TELEGRAPH. WORCESTER RACES—n-1B DAY. BENTINCK BENEVOLENT STAKES.

The weather continues fine, and the crop accounts are good. The country markets are generally dull, with a droop ing tendency for wheat. Off the coast the number of wheat cargoes arrived and on sale is 46, which a:e rather more firmly held. At Mark-lane this morning the attendance was small, and tho trade generally quiet. English wheat met little or no inquiry, and remained nominally the same as on Monday. The same remarks will apply to foreign. Flour unaltered. Barley, beans, and peas a slow sale at late rates. Oats in good demand, and Mouday's tvrtus well sup ported. COLONIAL. Sugar—The market is firm with a fair inquiry. The public sales are progressing quietly, at late rates. Refined sugars in steady request. Coffee—The demand continues steady, and sales firm. Tea - Rxther more inquiry, but without leading to any important business. Tone firmer. Rice quiet. COTTON MARKET. LITERPOOL, July 3.—Sales probably 8,000 bales. Market rather steadier. Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS Ii 17E. &ustralla and New Zealand, vlii BOUtnamptoi July 20.
