The English Funds, stimulated by the increasing supplies of money, are fractionally higher, and. foreign bonds are firmer, upon the re action in Paris late yesterday. Italian are particularly firm.

At the Manors Police-court, Newcastle, on Tues. day (before the Mayor, Mr. Alderman Pollard, and H. Milvain, Esq.), a number of betting men, who had exposed lists at the recent race meeting, were summoned under the Act for the suppression of Betting Houses. Thirty-two summonses had been issued, but only about a dozen of them served upon the parties ; and the only defend . tnt who appeared was Charles Heed, of Leeds, thongh he was sum moned as Charles Heads. Detective Superintendent Dixon proved that he served the summonses o❑ the other defendants, who had not attended in answer to them. Capt. Sylvester, chief constable, conducted the case against the defendant Heed, and stated that he had been summoned under the 16th and 17th Vic toria, cap. 19, sec. 3, which sets forth as follows : " Any person who, being the owner or occupier of any house, office, room, or other place, or a per son using the same, shall open, keep, or use the same for the purpose hereinbefore mentioned, or either of them ; and any person who, being the owner or occupier of any house, room, office, or other place, shall knowingly and wilfully permit the same to be opened, kept, or used by any other person for the purposes aforesaid, or either of them ; and any person having the care and management of, or in any manner assisting in conducting, the business of any house, office, room, or place opened, kept, or use.' for the purposes aforesaid, or either of them, shall, on summary conviction thereof before any two justices of the peace, be liable to foi feit and pay such penalty, not exceeding one hundred pounds, as shall be adjudged by such justices, and may be further alju lged by such justices to pay such costs attend ing such conviction as to the sai 1 justices shill seem reasonable ; and on the non-payment of such penalty and costs, or in the first instance, if to the said justices it shall seem fit, may be committed to the common gaol or house of enrrection, with or without hard labour, for any time not exceeding six calendar months." The defendant was the owner or occupier of an office, for the purpose of betting, on the Town Moor, on June 23. It was a tempo rary office, erected on four posts, and he believed that it had a desk. He should prove by a witness that the defendant was the occupier of the office, was receiving bets on certain races that were taking place, and conducting the business himself. He then referred to the case of Shaw v. Morley, which came before the justices of the borough of Doncaster on September 19, 1867, when a conviction was ob tained, and a penalty of £2:5 and costs imposed, which was appealed against in the Court of Exche quer on April 22, when Chief Baron Kelly said— " It seems to me plain that what is here described is an office' or place.' It makes no difference whether such a structure be roofed or roofless, on wheels or not on wheels, moveable or otherwise ; it is not the less an office and a place. And as for the purpose for which this structure was used, it is clearly within the meaning of the Act." Tho conviction was affirmed by the higher Court. He then called Detective Superintendent Dixon, who stated that on June 23, the first day of the races, he saw the defendant at the upper side of the ring, outside the ring, and he was making bets in an erection raised from the ground with four posts, and he had a book. Defendant was standing on the erection inside, but be (witness) would not like to say whe ther there was a desk or not, for he thought there was merely a sort of handrail. There was no cover on the erection. The defendant had his name on a sheet of paper on the erection, Charles Heads — (D e f en dant —Charles Heed is the proper name ; that is my name) —and the name was also on his belt. He saw the defendant take several bets. On the 25th he served the defendant with a summons in the same place. He gave his name and was very civil. Defendant —Was I inside or outside? Witness—l believe at the time I took your name you were on the outside of the office, on a stool. You had a clerk inside. Defendant—Did I pay any money? Witness—l don't think I saw you pay any money ; but I saw you receive some. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said he had been greatly misled, and was not aware that he had been guilty of a breach of the law in any shape or form, and if the least warning had been given to him that he was doing wrong he would not have taken the place. Ile did not get his livicg by going to race meetings, for he was a tradesman. A gentleman came to him with a policeman, No. 125, when he was outside the ring, and asked him if he was going to stand there like that, or was going to have one of those erections, and he asked if they were allowed. The gentleman told him they made a difference in the. charge, and gave him a ticket, saying that if he had a stool to stand on the charge for three days would be 55., but for a box like that it would be 103. 61. The policeman was along with the gentleman at the time. If he had broken the law, they had been his rulers. Ile had travelled from Leeds that morning on purpose to answer the summons, bee tuse he did not wish to do anything wrong in any shape or form. The Bench retired, and after an absence of a few minutes returned, when the Mayor said they had carefully considered the case. There had been a clear breach of the law, but on account of the can did way in which the defendant had acted, they fined him in the mitigated penalty of 10s., but hoped it would be a caution to him. Warrants were granted against the men who had .lot .attended in answer to the summonses served upon them.—Newcastle Chronicle. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 2, 1868. SHARE LIST.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. tin gs in Nisi Prins before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special J ury.) RISK ALLAH V. THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY (LIMITED). This action was brought to recover the sum of £3,000, being the amount secured- by a marine policy of insurance effected for the plaintiff on the 15th of April, 1867, by Messrs. Frank, Adler, and Co., of Constautintcple, in respect of a certain " group" or parcel o E money and securities, to be forwarded from Cc.nstanti::ople to London per the steamer Godave ry. The defendants pleaded that they did not pr nnie as alleged in the declara tion ; that the p&.ntiff was not entrusted with goods as alleged; that the goods were not lost by the perils inst trh d against, or any of them ; that the. goods Wer not shipped in a certain boat to be conveyed; izo the steamer as alleged ; and that the defendants. -were induced to make the in surance by the fram id of the plaintiff. To these pleas plaintiff replied joi:x..ng issue as to four of them, and not guilty as to ft allegation of fraud. Risk Allah was examine d at sine length, and detailed the steps taken to insure the " group" with the de fendant,, and also the mann2r in which it was lost, which, he said, ar , 3se from his accidentaly falling into the sea whilst stepping from a small boat to the Godavery, in Nillich he had taken his passage ; he then having it in. his possession. The " group" weighed about 2011, and contained 1,000 napo leons, 400 sovereigni - , 15,000 franc notes, and £4,000 Turkish Consolides (worth £1,200). The evidence offered to-day was of a very complicated character, and entirely devoid of general interest, excepting that which attachect to it in consequence of the re cent trials for libel. No definite result; had been arrived at when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-TIIIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SCANDALOUS CItIJELTY TO A HORSE.—Thomas Beale, a carman, in. the employ of Mrs. Rebecca Moat, sand dealer, of Moat-street, Battersea Fields, was charged by the Royal Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals with the following case of cruelty to a horse by working it while in an unfit state : Inspector Temperley, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said that he saw the prisoner driving a horse attached to a cart laden with sand in Oxford-street, and on examining it he found that besides oue of the hind legs being en tirely useless, it had a sore on its back, extending nearly the whole length of it, the discharge from it dropping on the ground. On speaking to the pri soner, he admitted he had been driving the horse in its then condition for two months, and that he had told his mistress about it. The prisoner said he had spoken to his mistress about the horse, but she took no notice of what he said. Barns, the gaoler, after corroborating a portion of Temperley's evidence, said that to save the poor creature from being further tortured he had placed a large piece of paper over its back to keep the flies off. The prisoner was remanded for a week on his own recognizance, and a summons ordered to be taken out by the society against the owner of the horse. ARRIVAL OF GENERAL SIR R. NAPIER IN LONDON.-THIS DAY. General Sir Robert Napier arrived in England this morning at the Admiralty pier, Dover, at 3.50 a.m., by the mail steamer from France. Although the hour was very early, a most cordial greet ing was accorded him. The distinguished officer, as soon as possible, took his departure for London, travelling via the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway for the Victoria Station, Pimlico, where he arrived at 6.30 a.m. Sir Robert, who was accompanied by General Staveley and one or two other officers, on alighting from the train, appeared in excellent health and spirits. A slight demonstration was made,- but the celerity with which the General's biggage was arranvd pre vented anything beyon 1 the cheering of the passen gers and persons eagAge 1 about the station. Sir R. Napier, having acknowl!dged the cheering, entered his carriage, an 1, with his military friends, drove direct to his residenca in Clevelan 1-square. King Theodore's son did not, as was expected, accom pany the conqueror of his father. The young Abyssinian Prine..: has gore to Ports mouth, on his way to Osborne. S:iortly before 12 to-day a telegram was received frotn her Majes.y at the War-office, requt.sting in telligence as to Sir 1L Napier, and an instant an swer was returned, informing her Maj!sty of the gallant officer's safe arrival in London. Sir Stafford Northcote, her Majesty's Principal Secretary of Stat.! for India, on being informed of Sir Robert's arri►•al in London, postponed the meeting of the Indian Council, which had been called for 12 o'clock, to-day, until 1 o'clock, and the right hon. baronet at once proceeded to Sir R. Napier's residence, and had a lengthened interview with the gallant General. Sir Robert Napier, it is expected, will this after noon visit the Commander-in-Chief, and afterwards his club in Pall Mall. SPORTING IN rEL LIGENOE. ALEXANDRA PARK RACES.-.WEDXESDAY.

STEALING IMAGES.—Two women named Sweeney and Free were charged before Mr. Benson with stealing six ornamental images from the shop pf Mr. John Sodenberg, a furniture dealer, in Morgan street; Commercial-road East. 'Two men, named Michael Day and Frederick Tupper, in the service of the prosecutor, saw the prisoners looking at a chest of drawers exposed for sale in the front of the shop, but in reality putting some chimney ornaments placed on the top of the drawers under their shawls. The women were walking away with their booty and were stopped a few yards from the shop, when Mrs. Sweeney said to Mrs. Free, " Then you intend to buy the images." "To be sure I do" was the reply of Mrs. Free, who at the same time dropped one of the images she had stolen on the ground, and it was broken. Pour other ornaments, worth as many shillings, were found under her shawl. A large aid more dazzling-looking ornatne,ut, Cavalier and child, and worth 55., was taken from Mrs. Sweeney, who had concealed it under her shawl. The womea were very violent and noisy, and tried to strike the prosecutor's men. They were given into custody of two policemen, named Wheeler and Smith, who said they had been drinking freely. One of the women said she intended to buy some ornaments for her mantelshelf, and the other that she came to see her friend buy the ornaments. The prisoners made a loud clamour in the court during the investigation, and that was increased by the squalling of Mrs. Free's child, which she carried. It was like a skeleton, and appeared to have been dreadfully neglected. Both prisoners loudly protested their innocence. Mr. Benson said he bad no alternative but to send the prisoners for trial. Mts. Sweeney, an Irishwoman, then said, " Be Jabers, we may as well all go one way. Settle it here, and settle it for her, too." Both women then formally pleaded guilty, and Mr. Benson, after stating that there could be no doubt of their guilt, sentenced them to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 14 days. Mrs. Free begged that she might be allowed to take her infant with her to prison. Mr. Beuson—What is the age of your child ? Prisoner—One year and eight months. The office's of the court said the child was not suckling, and by the rules of the House of Correc tion at Westminster would not be allowed to remain with the mother. The prisoner said she would not part with her child except with her life. She was a respectable woman ; her husband was a porter in Leadenhall Market, and he was well known to Mr. Pelham, a respectable solicitor practising in that court. Mr. Pelham did know something of Free, the prisoner's husband, who, he believed, was a sober, hard-working man, but he could say nothing in favour of the wretched woman at the bar, or inter pose between her and the sentence of the court. Mr. Benson said he could not interfere with the regulations of the prison authorities. Ile did not frame those regulations. He advised the woman to part with her wasted" hild, and alloW it to be taken to the workhouse. He would take care it was well provided for. Ho was afraid it was not likely to survive. The woman then parted with her dying child to a police constable, who handled it tenderly, and conveyed it to the workhouse. MARKETS-7 HIS DAY. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The trade was very depressed, stock being still sent to market in excess of demand, owing to the scarcity of feed of beasts. There were 1,370 on sale this morning, includ ing 191 foreign. Igor the primest qualities of beef prices were maintained, but other sorts were cheaper to effect solos. Of sheep and lambs the number was 18,630, including 3,050 from abroad. The trade for both mutton and lamb was very sluggish, with prices depressed, especially for the coarser qualities The top price of mutton did not exceed 4s Bd, and lamb 5s Bd. There were 588 calves on sale, 306 being from abroad. On the whole the market in this department was steady, with a fair demand at lat) rates. Pork moved off slowly, but without quoted change in prices. Quotations :—Beef 3s 4d to ss, mutton 4s 2d to 4s 8d veal 3s to ss, pork 3s to 4s 4d, lamb 4s 8d to os 8d per stone of 81b sinking the offal. RAY AND STRAW.

The LORD CR-MELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. '1 HE IRISH The Earl of CARNAItVo';I" that after the doubt expressed by 01;3 Lord Chancellor as to the stat..ment with regard to £20,000 connected with the West Indian Church, ho should have gone into on explanation that even ing, bat as his noble friend the CJlonial Secretary would give him an opportunity of vindicating himself by introducing th. 3 bill on the Established Church in Jamaica on Tuesday next, he should rcsnvo any obsJrvatioas he had to make t'll VOTE OF THANKS TO SIR R. NAPIER The Earl of MALXIESiitiitY moved that a vote of thanks of this house be given to Lieu - .-Lleneral Sir R. Napier, G.C.B , G.C.5.1., for the xemi lary skill with o hich hu p'anued, and the distlnguisheil energy, courage, and perseveranee with which ho , !.O.IIUCt sd the recent ex pedition into Atiyssiuia, Sze. Also to C•mon )(lore Lleat:e lt.N., CAI.; to Major-General S'r Charles Stavoley, K.C.B. ; Majer-General J. Ma7colu, C.B. ; and Bri gadier-General \V. Mere w,ther, C. 8., for their gallantry and ability, ate. Ile sail that hs felt great pleasure in making a proposition so honourable to their lordships' house. He should shortly tut before them the events which had led to this motion, and show how it was absolutely necessary for them to do honour to the army and the navy of England. It was four or five years since the injuries were inflicted upon Englishmen iu Abyssinia. That was a long period for Englishmen to suffer injury; but they must remem ber that the strong should always be tolerable to the weak until their conduct become intolerable. At length Theodore's did so, and than in 1867 it became the duty of the noble lord, the late head of the Go vernment, to enforce the cessation of such con dition of affairs. The expedition was, therefore, despatched, and it might be truly said that Sir Robert Napier could use the words of Ca33a", " Veni vidi vici." The dispatch of Lord Stanley threatened Theodore in April, 1867, and in April, 1868, Magdala Was taken, and the honour of England was vindicate 1. He could speak too highly of the conduct of Lord Seymour Fitzgerald in the arrangement of the expedition. The composition of this army was-very remarkable; it con sisted of different nations and various creeds. Notwith standing, however, this diversity the utmost good feeling prevailed, and to this good feeling we were much indebted to the conduct of Sir R. Napier. A great feature in the operation was the US) made of elephants, and he did not think that they had been made so useful since the daysof Hannibal. He astonished even the Indian officers, who hadfrequently witnessed what they could du. He need not go further with regard to the praise to be given to Sir R. Napier, but he must remind their lordships that Sir Charles Staveley had the arrangement of the advancing party from Zoulla, and commanded in the engagement before Magdala. Gene ral Merewether had also the general arrangement con fleeted with the march of the army. General Russell was taken from his station at Aden, and was engagad in the operations at Zoulla, and showed great ability iu political matters with relation to the tribes in the neighbourhood. Nor was the Navy to be forgotten. Commodore Heath, and other officers of the Royal Navy, had been highly commended in Sir R. Napier's dispatch. Not the least pleasing part of his task was proposing a vote of thanks to the non-commissioned officers and privates of the army. We should, after this march, never hoar that the soldiers could fight but not endure. He would call their attention to the:extraordinary march of the 45th regiment, and also to the exploits performed by the cavalry. A prominent feature was the orderly march of the troops, not a single instance of injury to property or person was to be recorded against them, and this ho thought could not have been said of any army that existed beforo them. (Hear, hear.) no doubt could exist of the cruelties perpetrated by The dere, and they had an instance of them only three days before his death. Some strictures had been made with regard to the storming , of Magdala, but if that had not been done they would have broken faith with the tribes who inhabited the neigh bowing districts. The last subject of congratulation was the small loss of life, and, fortunately, they had no but cher's bill to present to the country. (Hear, hear.) He need only mention, in conclusion, the zeal with which his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge displayed in carrying out the expedition. (Hear, hear.) Earl RUSSELL said that before the resolution was put he wished to confirm all that the noble earl had said with regard to what had been done by the valiant men who formed the expedition to Abyssinia. The noble earl eulo gised the whole of the preparations that were made both by the India-office, the Foreign-office, and by his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief. They had to admire the harmony which prevailed amongst all the departments which conducted the operations. But what was it that made them all act in harmony—it was the mind which was at the head of the expedition, and which harmonised all into one focus. He was happy to say that they had added another name to the famous roll of the British army which was celebrated throughout the world. (Hear, hear.) Every man in this country feels assured that whatever difficulty might come against the army that its courage and discipliue would overcome them a'l. (Hear, hear.) He must say that with regard to King Theodore, he thought that it was a benefit to maakind that so odious a monster should cease to exist. (Cheers.) The noble lord conch' led by saying that the Government deserved the thanks of the country. (Laud Cheers.) The Duke of O.I3_BIiIDGE said that he coogratu!ated the house upon this great success that lea I been achieved. He would say of the gallant general (Sir R. Napier) that he had devoted his utmost enerAies, mentally and physi cally, to his country. His Royal Highness eulogised the amount of judgment displayed by Sir R. Napier, in the discreet manner in which he conduct id his operatiuns. Thu vote of thanks was then agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS-THIS EVENING. The SPRIKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock. THE VOTE OF THANKS TO SIR. R NAPIER. Mr. DISRAELI rose to move the following resolu- ' tion :—" That the thanks of this hous 3 be given to Lieu tenaut-Ganei al Sir Robert Napier, G.C.8., G.C.S.I, for • the exemplary skill with which he planned, and the • distinguished energy, courage, and perseverance with which he conducted the recent expedition into Abys sinia, resulting in the defeat by ud the viudicetion of the her Majesty's forces of the army of King Th eo d o r e , a honour of the count ry b y t h e rescue from captivity of her Majesty's Envoy and ocher British subjects, and by the capture and destruction of the strong fortress of Magdala. That the thanks of this house be given to Commodore Heath, R.N., C. 8., for the indefatigable zeal and great ability with which he conducted the naval operations connected with the transport of the troops and stores, upon which the success of the expedition materially de pended. That the thanks of the house be given to Major- General Sir Charles Staveley, K.C.8., Major - General G. Malcolm, C. 8., Brigadier-General W. Merewether, C. 8 ., Major-en. Russell, and the other officers of the navy and army for the energy, gallantry, and ability with which they have executed the various services which they have been called on to perform throughout these arduous operations. That this house doth highly ac k now ledge and approve the discipline, gallantry, and endurance displayed by %,he petty officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the navy and army, both European and native, during these opera tions ; and that the same be signified to them by their respective commanding officers." The right hon. gentle man, in performing the agreeable duty, referred to the dif ficulties which at one time seemed to beset the Abyssinian expedition ; but thanks to the appointment of so spirited and discreet a commander as Sir Robert Napier, one of the most brilliant successes had attended the anus of-her most gracious Majesty, and one that entitled the gallant soldier to the highest honours a grateful country could con fer. In the midst of an unknown country, sur rounded by mountains of the most lofty height, Sir Robert Napier marched, and sustained a force of very largenumbers, consisting not only of soldiers but of camp followers, and oth ers, a l mos t d ou bli n g the former. Such a feat accompli s h e d , as it had been, showed the groat ability of the commander and the results which followed were such as to call forth and deserve the thanks of that august assembly. (Hear, hear.) They had seen the e:e phants of Asia bearing the artillery of Europe over African fastnesses. (Hear, hear.) Sir R. Napier had to deal with no common foe, and the troops under his command showed the most unmistakeable confidence in their e.otnitiander. (Hear, hear.) They had to scale almost inaccessible heights iu order to subdue a mountain fortress, which would have been impregnable to all the world had it been defended by him who attacked it. (Cheers.) The whole of the operations had been highly successful, and that in a man ner that was without parallel. (Hear, hear.) They had seen the red cross of St. George floating over the moun tains of Rasselas. (Hear, hear.) It was not alone for his great military qualities that the thanks of the Government were due to Sir Robert Napier, but he had shown diplomatic qualities such as were rarely united with great military skill. He had conducted and successfully concluded a very difficult and delicate mat• ter without involving the country in a perilous engage ment—(hear, hear) —and for that alone he was deserv ing the thanks of his country. Feeling that he thought it a great honour to be the instrument in mov ing the thanks of Parliament to that distinguished man—(hear, hear) —one who had'not for the first time re ceived the thanks of a grateful country, not once nor twice, but now, hnmight say, happy indeed must he the man who had been thrice thanked by his country. (Hear.) The other officers mentioned in the resolution had all ex erted themselves for the honour of their country, and none. had rendered more sign'il service than Commodore Heath, who had the direction of the transport service, which en gaged the capacities of no less than 300 vessels. He need hardly dilate upon the fine - roes° value of the tran sport service, because upon that depended the whole life of the expedition. The unknown waters had been buoyed and lighted in the most perfect manner, and everything that could tend to secure the safety of the expedition was performed in a manner that deserved the highest praise. (Hear, hear.) The brave men who formed the great strength of the force, both naval and military, had exhibited all their well known bravery, and on no occasion had any thing boon achieved by the armies of England that ex ceeded in valour that done in Abyssinia, an I never had been more clearly shown the purity of their purpos3. (Immense cheering) He felt that the house we only be too hapyy to vote with but one voice the vote of thauks he had submitted to its notice, and he would resume his seat with formally moving :he resolution. (Loud cheers.) Mr. GLADSTONE said it was a duty that he rose to perform with r.o ordinary pleasure to follow the right hon. gentleman through a speech that so well gave voice ito the feelings of the house. They had, in the first in stence, to thank the Government who had selected so wisest commander—(hear)—and having done that they had to mark the high sense they entertain of the brilliant qualities [ that that commander, in the performance of his arduous and perilous duty, had exhibited. (Cheers.) It had fallen to but few, if any, to have achieved such a victory for • England as that secured by Sir H. N a p ier on the distant ' plains of Abyssinia—(hear, hear) —he had gained a tear less battle. (Immense cheering.) The only regret that came upon them in the moment of their triumph was the death of Colonel Denham seed his galla p n ' cfficer had been struck down not on the field of battle That his name should be absent on the present - occasion Nyco a melancholy feeling for them all, as he had on former perilous engag..ments in China and other parts of the world gallantly upheld the colours of her Majesty. (Cl.•eeer.) To the °thee officers and men engaged in the expedition both naval and military, the highest thanks were due, and •he could not sufficiently express the admiration he felt for the bril . liant exploits that had been performed among the lofty mountains and almost boundless deserts of Abyssinia. (Hear, hear.) Ho could only say, in addition, that ho valued highly privilege which bad fallen to his lot to second the motion of the right hon. gentleman opposite. (Loud cheers.) The vote of thanks to Sir R. Napier, Commolore Heath, Major-General Staveley, Major-General Malcolm, Briga dier-General Merewether, Major-General Russell, and other officers, were put from the chair and agreed to seriatim,. A vote of acknowledgment. and thanks was also pasted to petty officers, non-commissioned officers and men of the army and navy, both European and native, for t he gallaatry . they had displayed on the occasion.
