MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGIANCX, CITY, One o'Clock. The Stock Markets are flat. The rise in Corn Yesterday has dissipated the idea of a continues de cline until the price reached the quotations of even last year, high as that was, and there is now a con viction that until the arrival of the new Wheat no further permanent decline is probable, Moreover, it is thought that after the - recent prolonged upward move ment a reaction is likely, and speculators hastening to realise at the top prices have precipitated the decline. The funds are ±to lower, and the relapse in foreign stocks is to the same extent. Railways are heavy, and Metropolitan and Great Northern are particularly flat. A large increase in the receipts of the Great Luxembourg line causes the shares to be firm. General Credit are lower, and Portuguese Government Bonds are f per cent. better. The rate for the best bills is not more than 1g per cent., though some establishments work less easy at this figure than others. Exceptionally, 11 per cont. is reported. At the Bank of England the inquiry is, consequently, unimportant. The English Funds are very eak. Consols show a relapse of ± to b, being quoted at 95 to 954 for money, and 95 to 954 for account ; New and Reduced Three per Cents., 944 to 95 ; Bank Stock, 247 to 249 ; India Five per Cents. are 1144 to 115; Exche quer Bills are 2i worse, at 12s to 16s prem.

There is a decline of gin Italian (1861) at 52 to 521, and in Turkish at 38 to 38± ; of ± in Viceroy's 7 per Cent., 74 to 744 ; in the 9 per Cent., at 88 to 885 ; and of k in the Railway Debentures, at 9 51 to 96 ; and Mexican, at 16 to 165. Greek Bonds are unaltered, at 14 to 144 ; and Egyptian (1864) Bonds, at 815 to 825. The home Railway Market is heavy, but the de cline is not so general as in other departments. there is a fall of / in Great Northern, at 1025 to 1034 ; of 5 in Sheffield, at 434 to 44; of g in Metropolitan, at 110 to 1104; and of in London and North Western, at 1165 to 117 ; and in Midland, at 107 to 1075 ; Caledonian are steady 75f to 75/ • Chatham, at 20} to 201 ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire are 1294 to 130 ; South Eastern are quoted at 765 to 77 ; Great Northern (A), 97 to 98 ; Great Western, 53i to 544- ; and Brighton, 524 to 53.

In Foreign Railways, Great Luxembourg are well supported, at 134 to 13a ; and Lombardo-Venetian at 15 to 15k. Bank Shares are in little request, and prices are Merely nominal. Agra (A) is quoted at 101 to llf ; Alliance 105 to 94 dis.; Anglo-Austrian, 5k to 51 ; Chartered Mercantile, 29 to 30 ; Consolidated, 45 to 4/ ; Imperial, 18 to 19 ; Imperial Ottoman, 11 to 1 5prem. ; London and County, 52 to 53 ; Lon andn Vestminster, 71f to 71/ ; Oriental, 425 to 434 ; London Joint Stock, 34 to 35 ; Union of London, 344 to 355.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde). CONRADI V. CONRADI AND WAY, &C. This was a judgment on the part of the Judge Ordinary, upon a novel point which has been lately raised as to whether a petitioner, who has proved his wife's adultery, has then been found guilty of adultery himself, and subsequently again obtains a verdict against his wife for her adultery with fresh co-respondents ; whether, under these conditions, he can himself be found guilty upon the decree that had formerly been made as to his own adultery. The Judge Ordinary said that the point raised was an important one. It was, in the first instance, shown that the petitioner had been found guilty of adultery at the suggestion of one of the co-respondents. lie then brought a fresh suit, and again proved his wife's adultery, inasmuch as she was living a life of prostitution. The Queen's Proctor then proposed to bring before the Court the decree in the other case, in order to prove the petitioner's adultery, and to disqualify him from obtaining a divorce. He (the learned judge) con sidered that he could do so, but, taking into consideration that the accusation of adultery came from the Queen's Proctor, who was under the direc tion, first of the Attorney-General, and then of the Court, it was competent for the Court to deal in an equitable manner with the point. It would be different if the charge were brought forward again by the co-respondent or respondent, but taking into consideration the fact that the desertion and adul tery of the respondent had been proved, he should give the petitioner the relief he sought, and grant a decree nisi. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.) ----4, OLD COURT. TILE MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY TWO BOYS. Mr. Poland, on the part of the prosecution, asked the learned Recorder that the trial of the two boys at present in custody for murderously assaulting Mrs. Munn might be post poned until next session, on the ground that the prosecutrix was at present in such a weak state of health that any over-excitement might be attended witb very serious results. Mr. W. Sleigh, who had been retained to de fend, had no objection to such a proposal. The Recorder directed the trial to stand post poned until next session. The next case taken before the learned judge was a post-office robbery by a letter-carrier, which did not possess the slightest general interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY. MA.RLBORO UG 11-STREE r. A CHANGE IN THE MODE OF BRINGING AC CUSED PERSONS TO THE COURT.—The unseemly exhibition of strings of persons charged with offences being walked through the streets from the different stations to this court, often accompanied by crowds of turbulent followers, has now been put an end to, and this morning for the first time, by order of the Commissioners of Police, the police van was employed for the purpose. ROBBERY AT THE ALHAMBRA. —Arthur Gray, a young man, described as a clerk, was charged be fore Mr. Knox with picking the pocket of a young woman named Sarah Riley, a servant living in Great Portland-street, of a purse containing some silver. The prosecutrix was at the Alhambra Palace last night with some children, when the prisoner and another man picked her pocket of a purse. Henry Parsons, employed at the Alhambra, said that hearing a cry of " Stop thief !" he seized the prisoner. David Pilmer, 54 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody, and said that while the prisoner sent one of the children across to look through, his com panion committed the robbery-. Gordon, 33 C, said that he saw the man who was with the prisoner the previous night in court. Mr. Knox ordered him to be brought forward, but as the prosecutrix was unable to identify him as the one who was with the prisoner no charge was preferred against him. Gordon said he believed the prisoner had been previously convicted. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner. A VOCALIST IN TROUBLE.—Richard Hairland, a boy, describing himself as a vocalist, was charged with picking a pocket in the llayin ►rket. Gordon, 33 C, having proved the case, The boy said he saw two ladies fighting, and a gentleman drop his handkerchief, and he picked it up. Gordon said the boy tried several pockets. Mr. Knox remanded the boy. STABBING A WlFE.—Dennis Sullivan, a labour ing man, charged with stabbing his wife, Honora Sullivan, at No. 33, Dudley- street, wa s again brought before Mr. Knox. It may be remembered that the prisoner went u p to his wife, from whom he had been separated for three years, as she was wishing some friends w ho had been to see her good bye, and stabbed her in the face. Mr. Theophilus Bryant, house surgeon at the Charing-cross Hospital, said that when the injured woman was attended to at the hospital she had two wounds, one in the cheek and the other in the nostrils, and from the latter she h d lost a great deal of blood. The wounds were inflicted with some shaip instrument, and might have been in flicted with the piece of steel produced (found in the prisoner's pocket). Mr. Motum, secretary to the Society for the Pro tection of Women and Children, No. 20, Hay market, attended to watch the case. The prisoner was committed for trial. Nagle and the other prisoners of the so-called Jackmel expedition? The Earl of MAYO said the assertion was totally and entirely false. (Hear, hoar.) THE ASSASSINATION OF THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH. In reply to Colonel VERNER, Mr. DISRAELI said he had not seen the paper to which he referred, but he had no reason for believing that the assassin of the Duke of Edinburgh was insane. THE SCOTCH REFORM BILL. The House then wont into committee on this bill. On. the motion that clause 6 stand part of the bill, Mr. GRA.HAM said it was a great injustice to Scotland that the clause should be persisted in, but as opposition was useless, he and his friends must content themselves with entering their strongest protest against tho clause, looking to the new Parliament for a remedy. The clause was then ordered to stand part of the bill. The LORD-ADVOCATE then brought forward the following,clause to give the lodger franchise, it, accord ance with the promise given to the hon. member for Kil marnock : —Every man shall, in and after the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, be entitled to be registered as a voter, and, when registered, to vote for a member or members to serve iu Parliament for a burgh, who is qualified as follows (that is to say): is of lull age and not subject to any legal incap keity ; and, as a lodger, has occupied in the same burgh separately, and as sole tenant for the 12 months prec,-ding the last day of July in any year the same lodgings, such lodgings being part of one and the same dwelling-house, and of a clear yearly value, if let unfurnished, of ton pounds or upwards; and has re sided i❑ such lodgings during the twelve months imme diately preceding the last day of July, and has claimed to be registered as a voter at the next ensuing registration • of voters. Vol. SYKES wished to know whether it was to be understood that any person paying ten pounds rent and not paying poor rates would not have a vote ? The LORD ADVOCATE signified in tho affirmative. Mr. CRAWFORD said the clausa wuuld actually dis franchise a great many parsons who now had the fran chise. The LORD ADVOCATE remarked that the franchise in the bill under consideration was not a substitute for, but an addition to, the franchise now in existence. Mr. D. M'LAREN said the clause was a disenfran chising clause, and so he strongly opposed it. The LORD ADVOCATE replied that those who at present possessed the franchise would not be deprived of it by the present clause. Mr. MONOREIFF had great doubt, nowithstanding the intention of the Lord-Advocate, whether the clause would not lead to much difficulty. Mr. BOUVERIE suggested that the best way to get out of the difficulty was to negative the clause, and then on the bringing up the report a declaratory clause could be added, stating that all lodgers paying £lO per annum should be entitled to vote. An hon. member suggested that thero was no need to strike the clause out, as it could easily be altered to em brace the latter part of the suggestion of the hon. mem ber for Kilmarnock. This was done, and the clause was ordered to stand part of the bill. A clause to make provision for claims by persons im properly and erroneous exempted from the payment of poor rates was then considered and agreed to. On schedule A, which enlarges the boundaries of the city of Glasgow, so as to include the suburbs of Partick and Govan, there was a lively debate, and ultimately the opposition, led by Sir E. Colebrooke, succeeded in strik lug the schedule out of the bill by a majority of five (91 to 86). The other schedules were agreed to without opposition, and the bill was ordered to be reported on Thursday. The house next took up the Boundary Bill in com mittee, and, on the question that the preamble be post poned, Mr. GORST raised a general discussion by reviewing the position in which the hence is placed by the discor dant reports of the commission and the committee. H e criticised stringently the conclusions at which the com mittee has arrived, maintaining that neither by its superior information, nor by its impartial composition, was it a competent tribunal to review the judgment of the Com missioners, and pointing that the committee had been governed by no kind of intelligible principle, except this —that municipal and Parliamentary boundaries ought to be conterminous. The inference he drew from this was that the house should discuss patiently and form its own opinion on every one of the cases about which the com mittee and the Commission differed. Mr. WALPOLE remarked that the difficulty arose entirely from the vague and insufficient instructions given to the Commission, which had made it impossible for them to lay down a general principle which would apply to all cases. Assuming that the controversy practically would be confined to the 15 large boroughs in which the Committee had differed entirely from the Commission, he went through the list seriatim, explaining the reasons on which the committee had actei, and justifying their con clusions. With regard to the immediate practical ques tion, Mr. Walpole said that though the Committee sub mitted their report entirely to the decision of the house much time would be lost if it was ta be set aside, and he certainly should not have consented to give so many days to the committee if its labours were to be fruitless. By way of general observation be expressed his decided pre ference for making municipal and Parliamentary bounda ries conterminous, and warned the house of the danger of ncreasing those great urban constituencies by additions which made them three or four times as large as the counties in which they stood. Mr. STOPFORD argued strenuously for throwing over the committee in favour of the Commission's Report. Mr. BRIGHT was entirely satisfied with the proceed ings of the committee and %ith the rules on which they they bad acted, and urged the house to accept its report, which was perfectly satisfactory to all the people con cerned. The house, he maintained, by its original appoint ment of a Commission, had declared itself unfit to go into the details of the matter, and the Government, when the committee was formed, announced that its report was to be final. This last statement, however, was disputed by Mr. HARDY. Mr. NEWDEGA.TE and Mr. PERCY WYNDHAM joined in urging tho house not to give up its power of review, and Mr. DISRAELI deniod that the Government had pledged itself to be bound by tho report of tho committee. His recommendation now was that the house should go on with the bill without further loss of time, and, trusting to the practical good sense which had so often been shown, ho anticipated that all tho difficulties of the schedules, which were not numerous, would soon be satisfactorily disposed of. Mr. GLADSTONE reprobated strongly this course. To attach so little weight to the recommendations of their own committee was most unparliamentary, and involved the practical loss of three weeks. Mr. PAULL animadverted severely on the party mo tives of the appointment of this committee, and Sir F. C. CROSSLEY advised the house to take the ad vice of the Premier, and go on with the bill. Mr. OSBORNE held that the house had arrived now at a supreme point of stultification. The only escape from the situation was to renew the amendment of Mr. Hibbert to leave out clause 4, and for this purpose he moved that the Chairman report progress. Mr. WHITBREAD defended himself against some im putations of Mr. Gorst on his porfect impartiality, and denied emphatically that the committee had listened to party considerations or arguments. Mr. DISRAELI, in consenting to report progress, re peated that the course he had suggested was the most prac tical and convenient—the only mode, in fact, of getting through the bill. _ The further progress of the bill was then adjourned until Thursday. The Regulation of Railways Bill, which has come down from the Lords, was read a second time, as was also the Turnpike Trusts Continuance Bill. Somo other bills were forwarded a stage, and the house adjourned at a quarter to 1 o'clock. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. (BY TELEGRAPH.) GnAvEsEND, Tuesday Morning.

ROYAL COMMISSION ON PRIMARY EDUCATION (InEwn).— The Royal Commission on Primary Educa tion (Ireland) met on Saturday at the offices of the com mission, 4G, Upper Sackville-street, Dublin. There wore present—The Earl of Powis, the Bishop of Meath, Master Brooke, Rev. Dr. Wilson, Rev. B. M. Cowie, Mr. Dease, Mr. Gibson, Mr. Stokes, Professor Sullivan, and Mr. Waldron. The secretaries, Messrs. May and Dunne, were in attendance. TRlNrry MONDAY. —Yesterday being Trinity Monday a special general court was held at the Trinity House on Tower-hill, at which his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh was unanimously re-elected master, and Captain Frederick Arrow, deputy-master, of that ancient corporation for the ensuing year. The court then proceeded to the parish church of St. Olave in Hart-street, where au excellent and appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. C. F. Tarver, M.A., vicar of St. Peter's Thanet, ehaplaiu in ordinary to her Majesty, and chaplain to the Prince of Wales. NATIONAL CHORAL SOCIETY (Conductor, Mr. G. W.

THE MARQUIS AND THE DESTITUTE GIRL. — Angelina Pike, a poor and pale-faced destitute girl, was brought before Mr. Benson, at the in stance of the Marquis of Townshend, who found her seated on a door-step in the Commercial-road, Stepney. She was destitute, had no home, no means of procuring food, and both parents were dead. The noble Marquis wished her to be pro vided for, not punished, and said there were many poor wanderers like her to be found in all parts of the metropolis, and he did wish that humane indi viduals would look after them, bring them before the magistrates for their cases to be inquired into, and compel boards of guardians, relieving officers and others, to do their duty towards those destitute creatures. He believed from inquiries he had made that the statement of the girl was a true oue. The girl said that since the death of her parents she had been servant to a dressmaker, and followed other occupations. She had also picked up a few halfpence by singing in public-houses. She had endured great privations. 111 r. Benson said it was very creditable to the noble marquis to interfere for the homeless and poverty-stricken wanderers in this vast metropolis. He should remand the prisoner to the Stepney Workhouse for a week. With respect to the poor lad who was turned out of Rateliff Workhouse with all manner of absurd inscriptions stencilled on a canvas suit, and whom the Marquis of Townshend brought to this court a fortnight ago, it turns out that he is of weak intel lect, and that, notwithstanding, the poor creature was subject to the degradation of being turned upon the streets and exposed to the ridicule of the unthinking of the roughs and blackguards of the town. The labour-master of the Ratcliff Work house, who turned the destitute casual into the street has received a reprimand from the board of guardians of the Stepney Union, and he was let off with this slight punishment owing to his general good cha racter, and his humanity to the poor. The poor lunatic has since wandered from the dwelling pro- vided for him by the Marquis of Townsheni, and it is feared that he has been robbed of the clothes and linen purchased for him. The Poor Law Com missioners have been written to on the subject, but they have not replied to the communication ad dressed to them by the Marquis of Townshend, who has it in contemplation to adopt other measures re specting the novel punishment inflicted on an im becile casual for the crime of being destitute, IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins DAY. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 12 o'clock. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the second reading of this bill, which was to enable the Go vernment to acquire the electric telegraphs, and working them in connection with that of the Post-office. It would take between three and four millions of money to pur chase existing rights, and if the principle of the bill was affirmed he should bring in a money bill to provide for the purchase money. He proposed to make use of the money deposited in the Post-office savings banks as far as was consistent, and ale) to raise money on terminable annuities at 20 years, and also some of the money would be raised on bills and bonds, in order that the Post-office savings banks might not be in the least inconvenienced. The surplus profit of the arrangement would amount to £210,000 per annum, and that taken at 31 per cent. would be quite sufficient to pay off the whole cost in 20 years. He th.ught the greatest public advantage would result from the arrangement, au I therefore he hoped the house woul I agree to the second reading of the Mr. LEEMAN moved, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day slx months. He contended that the proposal was one of the most dangerous descrip tion, and one which he hoped the li ouse would not for a moment countenance. it had bean said that the p ublic and the press would benefit by the bill, but he con tended it would result in no such thing. The public at present were well served; alai, as for the press, it already received as great privileges as the post-office, sup posing they were to bac mile possessed of the telegraphs could give them. The petitions that had been got up in favour of the bill lvid all been instigated by the post-office, and did not at all show the real feeling of the public press on the matter. As far as the general public was concerned he di4 not think that they would much appreciate an arrangement by which every telegram they might receive would be placed in the hands of the Go vernment. They must all recollect the outburst of inclignatioi when Sir James Graham opened the letters of Mazzini, and now that it was proposed to do the same thing on a large scale he hoped the house would stop in and prevent such a thing being done. He contended that the objects of the bill were en tirely opposed to the instincts of the national character of the people of England, who, he believed he was correct in saying did not appreciate the mode of working the telegraphs adopted on the Continent. Abroad it was impossible to send a telegraph without its first having been submitted to the Government authorities, whilst in Paris no less than four copies of every telegram were made and for warded to each of the bureaux. The proposal, he felt justified in saying, was most repugnant to the feelings of the general public, who were not yet quite agreeable that everything that was either done or contemplated should be conned over and considered by any Govern ment. The telegraph companies had acted most liberally to the public, the public avere satisfied, and therefore he hoped the house would reject the bill. It m i g ht b e th oug ht that he had an interest in the matter, but he begged to as sure the house that he was in no way connected with any of the great telegraph companies, but that he had taken up the matter purely on public grounds, being per suaded that the bill was one opposed to the feelings and interests of the people generally—(hear, hear)—as he did not believe that the sole object of the Government was to reduce the present charge to an uniform telegraphic rate of one shilling.

Mr. BRIGHT gave notice that on the 16th he should call the attention of the house to a petition he had pre sented from Nova Scotia. METROPOLITAN POLICE. Mr 11. LEWIS asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was his intention to lay upon the table of the house copy of the evidence taken by, and of any report made to, t h e Secretary o f St a t e f or ti n Home Department by th e committee appo i nte d b y hi m to c onduct certain inq u i r i es into the management of the me tropoliian police? Mr. HARDY said he did not intend to print the report as the inquiry was a departmental one, and looked upon as a confidential inquiry. RETIRING OFFICERS. Captain MACKINNON asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if the statement contained in an article in the Army and Navy Gazette of the 16th of May, 1868, tint the opinion of the law officers of the Crown in 1832 on the F. G. captains' reserved list was formed from a falsified copy of the Order in Council of 1851, which go verned that list, and that such alteration in the wording of the Order in Council misstated the case, as laid before the law officers of the Crown, and caused an adverse judgment to their claim, Was true; and, if so, did he in tend to persist in refusing the claims of those officers ? Mr. CORRY said he had inquired into the whole mat ter, and he was enabled to say that no such falsified list was at all considered. THE RITUAL COMMISSION. Mr. W. LESLIE asked tho Secretary of State for the Home Department how soon the Appendix to the Second Report of the Ritual Comniisiion, which had been for some weeks in tho hands of her Majesty's printers, would be de livered to the public ? Mr. HARDY said he really could not say. It was a very bulky volume, containing over 1,700 pages. CLERKS OF THE PEACE. Mr. GORST asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the duty of the clerks of the peace, co or before the 10th instant, to issue their precepts to the overseers of their respective districts, with general instructions for the proceedings of the over seers in reference to registration ; and whether it was possible to stop the issue of such precepts; or whether such precepts would have to be hereafter cancelled by the subsequent loss of fresh precepts, containing different in structions to the various overseers ? • Mr. HARDY said the clerks of the peace had no power to altor the law, and, therefore, until Parliament repealed an act it must be obey e d .

He thought it would be fine steeringcould they surmount the debate on the address, and then go into committee. Under such cir cumstances it had been thought advisabl e t o t a k e th e votes of supply for the entire year—(hear, hear) —and not for nine months. (Hear, hear.) It was a burning desire with the Government to get the Parliament dissolved (bear, hoar)—ie order that the opinion of the country might be taken on a very import int subject, in order that they migllt be relieved from a state of things that had been rendered almost intolerable.

St. Albans Kingsbury 8 I RUSSIAN (,USTOMS REFORM. At a meeting of British shipmasters held at Cron stadt, her Majesty's Ambassador was requested to present the following address to the Minister of Finance :—" To his Excellency M. Reuter; Minis ter of Finance, &c.—Your Excellency,—We, the undersigned British shipmasters, trading to the port of Cronstadt, desire to express most respectfully our grateful acknowledgments for the great boon which your Excellency has conferred on the com merce and shipping of this port by the two recent improvements in the Customs regulations of St. Petersburg and Cronstadt. We are deeply sensible of the important alterations in the Customs laws relating to the production of bills of lading by mas ters of vessels, which we consider is one of the most beneficial changes that have been made in the com mercial legislation of Russia, and we earnestly trust that your Excellency will soon think proper to ex tend its benefits to the other ports of the Empire. The fines and penalties attached to the minutest imperfections in bills of lading and entries have from our experience been greatly prejudicial to the foreign trade of Russia. The almost unavoidable liability to fines and detention for mere clerical errors has rendered the Russian trade one of the most precarious and unsatisfactory to the shipowner, and we therefore feel confident that the removal of these fines and penalties will act as beneficially on the interests of Russia as on those of our employers. We are also desirous to thank your Excellency for the advantages accorded to us by the regulations under which we are permitted, as in other countries, to obtain the clearance of our vessels for sea without the compulsory employment of agents, whose charges, arbitrarily fixed, have weighed heavily upon our ships, and to a great extent also on the produce they carried. As, under your Excellency's instructions, the Customs will in future allow our vessels to depart on the satisfaction of all Govern ment dues and charges, we shall be able, as in other ports, to make such voluntary agreements for the transaction of our business while in harbour as will greatly reduce our expenditure. We beg to assure your Excellency that the simplification of the Cus toms laws will not fail to insure a more effectual observance of them, and thus conduce to a greater security of the revenue.—We have the honour to remain, with most sincere assurances of gratitude and respect, your Excellency's most obedient hum ble servants (signed by 81 British shipmasters. Cronstadt, May 20 (June 1), 1868." MARKETS-7 HIS DAY. POTATOES. There is a fair supply of old rocks and French, with a few flukes, but the assortment of last season's growth is now getting reduced.
