A timer and more animated business is being trans acted in stocks and shares, and quotations nave an upward tendency. The English Funds, stimutated by the increasing supplies of money, arc fractionally higher, and foreign bonds are firmer, upon the re action in Paris late yesterday. Italian are particularly firm. Railway shares are, however, flatter. The new issues. of capital by one or two of the large companies and the expected reduction in dividends cannot help (sting this market for some time to come. the Discount Market is easier on a steady increase in the supply of money, but the minimum is still 1/ per cent. for the best bills.

A further return of £2 10s. per share is announced to the proprietors of the English and American Bank. Making 75 per cent. repaid. There has been a fair average amount of business (says Messrs. Satterthwaite's Circular) in the London market for American Securities since our last, and quotations on th e w h o l e have been well sustained.

The silk market during the past month has been active, and Messrs. Durant report an advance of is to 2s.

The London freight market during the month of June is reported by Mr. Alfred Brett to have been fairly active.

At the Manors Police-court, Newcastle, on Tues day (before the Mayor, Mr. Alderman Pollard, and H. Milvai n , E s q.), a number of betting men, who had exposed lists at the recent race meeting , we re 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 defendant who appeared was Charles Heed, of Leeds, though he was sum moned as Charles Heads. Detective Superintendent Dixon proved that h e served the summonses on 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 bee❑ 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 used for the purposes aforesaid, or either of them, shall, on summary conviction thercof before any two justices of the peace, be liable to forfeit and pay such penalty, not exceeding one hundred pounds, as shall be adjudged by such justices, and may be further adjudged by such justices to pay such costs attend ing such conviction as to the sail justices shall seem reasonable ; and ou 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 carrection, 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 Sliaw v. Morley, which came before the justices of the borough of Doncaster o❑ September 19, 1867, when a conviction was ob tained, and a penalty of £25 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 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." The 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, be saw the defendant at the upper silo of the ring, outside the ring, and he was making bets in an erection r a i se d f r om the ground with four posts, and he had a book. Defendant was standing on the erection inside, but he (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 — (Defendant — Charles Heed is the proper name ; that is my name) —•and the name was also on his belt. Ile saw the defendant take several bets. On the 23th 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 bad 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 bad been guilty of a breach of the law in any shape or form, and if the least warning had been given to him that ho was doing wrong he would not have taken the place. Ile did not get his livieg 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, s tying 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 10s. 61. The policeman was along with the gentleman at the time. If he had broken the law, they had been his rulers. Ile bad travelled from Leeds that morning on purpose to answer the summons, bectuse he did not wish to du 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 lid way in which the defendant had acted, they lined 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 ipon tiaem.—Neweastie Chronicle. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 2,1868. i SHARE LibT.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. ,Sittings in Nisi Prius before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special J ury.) RISK ALLAH V. THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN MARINE INSLTRANCE 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 Constantinople, in respect of a certain " group" or parcel of money and securities, to be forwarded from Constantinople to London per the steamer Godavery. The defendants pleaded that they did not promise as alleged in the declara tion ; that the plaintiff was not entrusted with goods as alleged; that the goods were not lost by the perils insured against, or hny of them ; that the goods were not shipped in a certain boat to be conveyed to the steamer as alleged ; and that the defenda'►ts were induced to make the in surance by the fraud of the plaintiff. To these pleas plaintiff replied joining issue as to four of them, and not guilty as to the allegation of frau.l. Allah was examined at anne length, and cletailei the steps taken to insure the " group" with the de ftndants, and also the manner iu which it was lost, which, he said, arose from his accidenta!ly falling into the sea whist stepping from a small boat to the Godavery, in which he had taken his pass.►ge ; he then having it in his possession. The " group" weighed about 201 b., and contained 1,000 napo leons, 400 sovereigns, 15,000 franc notes, and £4,000 Turkish Consolides (worth £1,200). The evidence cffered to-day was of a very complicated character, and entirely devoid of general interest, excepting that which attached 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.-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SCANDALOUS CRUELTY TO A lloßsE.—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 lade with sand in Oxford-street, and on examining it he found that besides one 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. THAMES. STEALING bIAGES.—Two women named Sweeney and Free were charged before Mr. Benson with stealing six ornamental images from the shop of 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. Four other ornaments, worth as many shillings, were foand under her shawl. A large and more dazzling-looking ornament, Cavalier and chill, and worth 55., was taken from Mrs. Sweeney, who had concealed it under her shawl. Ihe wou:e.i 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 tuantelshelf, and the other that she came to see her friend buy the ornaments. The prisoners made a loud clamour in the con' t 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 Benson, after loudly protested their innocence. Mr. Benson said he bad no alternative but e b n u t t he to n formally send the prisoners for trial. Mrs. Swee ne y, an Irishwoman, then said, " Be Jabers, we may as well all go o:ir. way. Settle it e here,a nd p s l e n t a t d le ad it g fo u r ii h tl, her, and Mr. 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 officeis 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 s a id she woaulpdornteort i p o ar L t e w ad it e h nh h a e i r t w ch o i ai ld an ex ; ce h p e t r w ha it s i b i a h n e d r w lif a e s . She was a respectable 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. lie did not frame those regulations. Ile advised the woman to part with her wasted child, and allow it to be taken to the workhouse. He would take care it was well provided for. Ile 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. Tho 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 ou sale this morning, includ ing 101 foreign. For the primest qualities of beef prices were maintained, but other sorts were cheaper to effect sales. 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. Oa the whole the market in this department was steady, with a fair demand at late 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 5s 8d per stone of 81b sinking tho offal. HAY AND STRAW. The market are still scarcely supplied, and prices firm at Monday's quotations. COTTON MARKET. LIVERFOOL, July 2.—Sales probably 8,000 bales, Market quiet and prices drooping. DIRECT CO/tIMISSIONS.—We are requested to state next examination for direct commissions will cou4nonce on liouday, the 2cl of November. DEATH OF MEHEMET ALL, Mehemet Ali Pasha died at Constantinople kin Sunday. This great Turkish statesman, one of the mosremarkatle men of the later days of the Ottonwa Empire, was born at Trebizond about the year 1807. Coming to Constantinople at an early age, he attracted - t he attention of the Sultan Mahmoud, was taken into the seraglio, and received a partial education. He then served in the Turkish navy, but in 1829 returned, to the royal house hold as the Sultan's page. His fortune rapidlradvanced, and in 1832 he became general of brigade. During the last war with Egypt he rallied the Ottoman army after the defeat at Nezib, and formed with the debris a body of reserve sufficiently strong to harass Ibrahim Pasha on his march to Constantinople. On the death of Malimo-ld his good fortune still attended him; he attained higher posts in the State, and in 1845 married the youngest sister of the Sultan Abdul Medjid, receiving with her a dowry that made him one of the richest men„in Tuikey. After being Minister of War, he became Grand Vizier in October 1852. The manner in which he resigned this office six months afterwards, a few days before Menschikoff quitted Constantinople, testifies an independence of character very rare in an Ottoman Minister. Recalled to office as Minister of War, he proved himself in the State councils of that critical time one of the most zealens partisans of a policy of resistance. His opposition to Russia was par ticularly marked. It was he who refused in 1849, at the risk of involving Turkey in war single-handed, to hand over the Hungarian and Polish refugees to Austria and Russia. Under the reign of the present Sultan be became Minister of Marine in 1863, a post which he held to the time of his death. TWO CURIOUS LAW CASES. Two curious cases have been tried at the LiverpoO, County Court. In the first W. H. Plunkett Grattan, a dramatic author and actor, sued Mr. Henry Montague, one of the managers of the " Original Christy Minstrels," for £5, for condensing a burlesque. Some months ago Mr. Montague purchased from Mr. Grattan a burlesque extravaganza called "Blue Beard." It was kept for several months, and then Mr. Grattan received it back for purposes of condensation and to alter one or two of the parts. He said ho did this at Mr. Montague's request. Mr. Montague alleged that he asked that he should do it rather than that anyone else should spoil his work. However, he new claimed £5 additional for his trouble, ana refused to let Mr. Montague have even a sight of the previous MS. until the money was paid. Several theatrical managers were called for the defendant to prove that a dramatic author always altered his piece to suit the stage without extra charge, unless there was a special agreement. Mr. Blair, the judge, non suited the plaintiff. In the second case the captain of a screw steamer, the Pioneer, having turned his seamen out of their berths at Galveston to make way for fifty bales of cotton, on which the freight was £lBO, and put them to berth with the firemen, was sued for breach of contract, the articles and the Act of Parliament providing that certain space shall be provided for each of the crew. Four of the men obtained a verdict for £2 each from the captain, who had also to pay costs. TERRIBLE CALAMITY IN NEW YORK. The New York Timesof the 19th ult. contains an account of a terrible calamity. A fire occurred ; the engines got to work, and succeeded in extinguishing it. It appears, however, that whilst the pipes were being taken up previously to going away, one of the men in charge of a steam-engine turned on, by some misapprehension, cold water. Instan taneously came an explosion. The huge machine was lifted clear from the street, poised an instant in mid - air, then sent with terrible force crush ing and crushed upon the side walk. Masses of iron, grate-bars, and pieces of rods were torn from the framework and hurled - through the crowd of human beings, and thrown in some instances a distance of 100 feet. The steam from the rent boiler seethed and scalded its way through the dense mass of humanity at the same moment, and with both the scalding steam and the mangling iron came the terrible noise of the explosion as it shook the neighbouring houses, and with it the shrieks of human agony. For some mo ments there was confusion, consternation, wailing, and nothing more. There were crushed, mangled, bleeding, writhing men and boys upon the side walk ; there was the huge machine riven and hissing upon its side. When order was obtained the bodies of three men and one boy were found who bad been killed outright. None could recognise them, and Coroner Keenan, who had been notified, and had hurried to the spot, when all hope of identification was at an end, ordered the removal of the bodies. The dead were but the leastfearful part of the sight that met the gaze of the terrified multitude the moment after the el:plosidri. The wounded remained, and, torn and shrieking, they were more appalling by far than the painless dead. Of those tent to the hospital one died soon after admission, and several others are not expected to survive. The fzicnds of the Irish Church in Manchester gathered en Tuesday night in the Free-trade Hall,andpassed resolutions in favour of the maintenance of the Establish mcmt in Ireland. The meeting was large and unanimOtti. The chief speaker was Lord Cranmoro. Continued dry weather is beginning to parch everything up in Herefordshire and adjoining counties. The root crops have quite failed, and the grass is lighter than has been known for years. Wheat is looking well, and the hop plantations are in fino condition. The fine weather has helped the game, the birds being plentiful and strong. On Sunday next a form of prayer and thanks giving for the preservation of the life of the Duke of Edin burgh, and for the success.and safety of the Abyssinian expedition, will be used in all synagogues of the British Empire. The prayer, printed in English and in Hebrew, has been publ:shed. . RIFLE MATCHES. —ln the simultaneous match just concluded bet%N een riflemen of Britain, Canada, and Australia, the first prize, value £l6, at short ranges, has been won by Mr. Stephen Lynch, of the Sydney Volun teers. The first prize at long ranges was won by Mr. J. Rigby, of Dublin, and the prize for rifle clubs was won by the Bristol Rifle Club squad, Messrs. Metford, G. Miller, G. Gibbs, H. Lane, and J. Baker. A WELSH EISTEDDFOD. —A Welsh district news- paper devotes a considerable space to reporting the pro- ceedings at an Eisteddfod held last week at YnysYbwl. which, to insure identification, is described as being " near Llanwonno." Adjudications were made upon a wide range of subjects, prizes being awarded, inter alia, for " the best pair of white stockings," " the best pair of black stockings," and for the best essay upon "the duties of ratepayers with regard to the Reform Bill." THE Bisuor OF LICHCIELD.—A few old New Zealand colonists now in England on Wednesday after- noon presented the Bishop of Lichfield with a pastoral staff. In acknowledging the gift, the bishop expressed the pleasure he felt in seeing his old friends, and said that nothing but a paramount sense of duty would have induced him to quit New Zealand, but he should always try to further the interests of the colony. The staff was designed and executed by Messrs. Cox and Son, of Southampton street, Strand, and is a beautiful specimen of ecclesiastical art. A TOWN WITHOUT WATEII.—In spite of con stantly threatening skies the drought still continues in South Lancashire, to the great detriment of grass lands and root crops, though so far the wheat crops have not suffered seriously. Hundreds of ponds, ditches, &c., are dried up, and the fields, lawns, &c., are quite burnt up and browned. In Southport the authorities have had to give public notice that the supply will have to be suspended for a week. This announcement has created the greatest consternation in the town, aul will cause much inconve nience. In addition to the bills for improving the go vernment of the metropolis, putting a stop to the gambols of the City Arabs, and protecting the property of lodgers in cases of distraint upon the property of their landlords, the Marquis Townahend has prepared a fourth, " for the better protection of children, servants, and apprentices." It provides that no person, except parents, guardians; and nearest surviving relatives of children under sixteen years of age, shall be permitted to inflict corporal punishment upon them otherwise than by a birch rod. No person whatever is to be permitted to strike a child of tender age on the head or face ; and as for apprentices or servants, neither master nor mistress shall administer corporal punishment to them on any account. The penalty for breaches of these offences is not to exceed £5, or two months' imprisonment. • THE HARVEST IN THE HOME COUNTIES.— On Wednesday, at Ashford, near Staines, Middlesex, the reapers began cutting a field of rye. The heat and drought which have prevailed for the last few weeks pre rapidly bringing to maturity the cereal Crops in the counties of Middlesex, Surrey, Bello, and Bucks. Oats, as a rule, are short in the straw, and the earlier sorts will soon be ready for the sickle, as well as the barley, which in some places is beginning to turn off rapidly under the scorching heat. On Tuesday night the weather became cooler, and this state of the atmosphere continued throughout Wednesday morning. In the afternoon the weather was again sunny, the show for rain, which is greatly needed,having passed away. Should the present heat continue, the harvest will be nauth earlier every- SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ALEXANDRA PARK RACES.-WEDNESDAY. A.

General Sir Robert Natier arrived in England this morning at the A laiiralif pier, Dover, at 3.50 a.m., by the mail steam -r from Fiance. Although the hour was very early, ain e)rdial greet ing was aceordel him. The distinguished officer, a 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 male, but the celerity with which the General's baggage was arranged pre vented anything beyoni the cheering of the passen gers and persons engagel about the station. Sir R. Napier, having acknowl:dged the cheering, entered his carriage, an 1, with his military friends, drove direct to his residence. in Cleveland-square. King .Theodore's son clig - not, as was expected, accom pany the conqueror of his father. The young Abyssinian Prince has gone to Ports mouth, on his way to Osborne. Shortly before 12 to-day a telegram was received from her Majesty at the War-office, requesting in telligence as to Sir R. Napier, and an instant an swer was returned, informing her Majesty of the gallant officer's safe arrival in London. Sir Stafford Northcote, her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for India, on being informed of Sir Robert's arrival 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. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.—YESTERDAY. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

Mr. GATHORNE HARDY moved that the public busi ness should commence to-morrow at a quArter past four instead of at half-past four. NAVAL CHAPLAINS. Mr. EYKYN asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if the Lord Commissioners of the Admiralty had come to any decision in regard to the improvement of the organisa tion, pay, and position of naval chaplains; and whether it was the intention of the Board of Admiralty to appoint commissioned Presbyterian and Roman Catholic chaplains for the service of her Majest • y'a fleet at home and abroad ? Mr. CORRY said the Board of Admiralty had una nimously agreed that the chaplains of the navy had a perfect right to be placed upon the same footing as the chaplains of the army. With regard to the second question, the hon. and learned matcher must have la boured under a mistake in supposing that the Board bad considered the appointment of commissioned Presbyterian and Roman Catholic chaplains. What they had been con sidering was the advisability of increasing the salary of three Roman Catholic chaplains situated at Sheerness, Chatham, and Dartmouth. WEIGCITS AND MEASURES (ME nuc SYSTEM) 'JILL On the motion for going into committee on this bill, ' Mr. J. B: SJIITII Moved that the order he discharged, which, after a few remarks from M.. BEllEsPolto 11Jra, was agreed tt), OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITIES BILL.

Mr. BERE;;FORD HOPE contended that if any altera tion were really necessary it could be better settled at the present time by the Convocation of Oxford and the Se nate of Cambridge than it could be by being brought for ward in that House. Mr. Chichester Fortescue, Mr. Cavendish Bentiuck, Mr. Melly, Mr. Gathorne Hardy, Mr. Leathana, Mr. Newde gate, and Mr. Neate, took part in the discussion that fol lowed, after which Mr. COL (MIDGE replied, and the house divided, when thero appeared— For the second reading Against Majority for 5B The bill was then read a second time amid cheering from the Opposition.

On cJuiparing these rates with the Engitsh Mint price of .C.s his. tojd. per ounce for standard gold, it appe.4.-s that gold is at about the same pricy in L'aris and Lua tug. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' right was on the last date about 1 v per cent. At this raft there is scarcely any profit on the importation of gold from the United states. In all eases where troops are put under canvas in the vicinity of permanent barrack , , from want of barrack accommodation, the supply of fuel, light, and straw will be made by the local barrack master.
