There were again no bullion operations at the Bank uf England yesterday. The Deutschland has arrived with £51,000 in BPecies The West India silver has been sold at the prices Previously current. The Manchester Bondi ng W are h ous i ng C ompany 'are declared a dividend of 16s per share, £24 paid. Paris letters state that the subscription to the gYptian Loan has been entirely covered, and that it „'vevy popular in tat market. The maitude of :ue subscription to the Suez Canal Loan is attributed 0 the fact of there being four quarterly drawings, at !aell of which the first number gains a prize of '50,000f., or £6,000. A. commission is now at Nantes inquiring into the P r acticability of constructing a canal from that city to the sea at the mouth of the Loire. The Bank of Algeria has been authorized to open a branch at Bona, where there is a considerable coal- Puercial population. The following is the substance of the report of the lytty Bank for the past half-year :—Th e accoun t s s h ow , znat after paying interest on current and deposit accounts, and providing for bad and doubtful debts, the gross profits, including £3,077 4s. ld. brought forward from the preceding half-year amount to £41,734 4s. 10d. Provision h av i ng been made for the current expenses and rebate of interest on bills discounted but not yet due, the directors declare a dividend at the rate of £7 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, and carry forward £3,250 2s. 10d. to the new profit and loss account. The dividend is payable the 28th inst. The harvest in France being in full gathering, very tittle wheat was sent to market last week, and, sup- Piies'being thus short, holders required terms which t •,tleY le could not obtain in the previous w ee k. V ery .4 tbusiness, however, was done. Transactions at Qalatz, Ibraila, and Odessa, at latest dates, were de- S cribed as unimportant, buyers holding. Letters from the latter place give much more satisfactory accounts of the wheat and rye crops than those received three w eeks back. From Pesth favourable accounts have u een received of the Hungarian cro p s . R a i n h a d fallen just when it was wanted, and the grain had e °nsequently g reatly improved. It is stated in communications from Paris that a group of English capitalists, amongst whom are men- L l oned Messrs. Capper, Sheridan, Brett, Morris, and ~"',„Ylde, have deposited at the Ministry of Public works a soumission or proposal for the execution of railways from Talle to Clermont, and from St. Denis 'es Martel to Aurillac. The subvention required is 56 , 0 00,000 f. or £2,240,000. The large decrease in the Brighton Railway traffic for the past week—viz., £3,741, is explained by the fact that it compares with Spithead naval review last grAar. 'The traffic receipts of the Lucknow and Cawnpore line of the Onde and Rohilkund Railway for the week ending the 7th ult. were £502 14s 9d, being an 14creAnsni last year of £221 13s Bcl.

Account, Aug. 6 PRESEXTA7ION OF THE PREEDOM OF TILE CITY TO LORD NAPIER. THIS DAY. In accordance with the resolution of the Court of Common Council, passed a short time ago on the motion of Mr. Symonds, seconded by Mr. Alder man Gibbous, the freedom of the City of London was this day presented to Lieutenant-General Lord Napier of Magdala in the Guildhall. Proceedings of this nature generally take place in the Common Council Chamber, but on the present occasion the ancient Guildhall was specially prepared for the cere mony. A dais was placed at the west end of the hall, and sitting accommodation for over 1,000 was pro vided ; the benches extended nearly the entire length of the ball, and when the three tiers of seats were occupied by a majority of elegantly attired ladies the scene was particularly effective. The doors were opened at half-past eleven, and from that time up to half-past twelve the arrival of the company was continued ; the members of the Corporation wore their robes and insignia of office, and a guard of honour was stationed at the en trance to receive the illustrious visitor. The following is a copy of the resolution which led to the interesting proceedings : " That the freedom of this city, with a sword of the value of two hundred guineas, be presented to Major-General Sir Robert Napier, G.C.8., G.C.5.1., Commander of the Forces in Bombay, in admiration of the for titude, skill, science, energy, and promptitude dis played by him in bringing the Abyssinian war to so successful and brilliant a close." Shortly before one o'clock Lord Napier, accom panied by the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, and nearly the entire members of the Court of Aldermen, en tered the hall, and were received with great cheer ing, during which his lordship was conducted to the seat assigned him on the dais. The usual formalities having been performed, Mr. Benjamin Scott, the City Chamberlain, then advanced, and, addressing Lord Napier, said the Corporation of the City of London, as a mark of their estimation of the bravery and extraordinary skill with which the late expedition to Abyssinia had been conducted, had unanimously agreed to present the freedom of the City of London to his lordship, coupled with a sword of the value of 200 guineas. In the con duct of the whole of the affairs which had so successfully terminated, all the prisoners hav ing been released without the loss of a single life, was an act unparalleled in the history of the country. Having alluded in very glowing language to the military career of his lordship, the Chamberlain concluded with present ing the gallant general with the freedom and the sword, amidstloud cheering. Lord NAPIER, in acknowledging the honour, said he should estimate the present of the City as one of the greatest honours that had been con ferred upon him. In carrying out the duty imposed upon him he had had to encounter difficulties, but the valour and bravery, the endurance and energy of the troops he had the honour to command, enabled him successfully to surmount the difficulties which they had to contend with, and to rescue their countrymen from that cap tivity which they had so long endured. The object of the expedition was solely one of national honour and nothing else—(cheers)—and having vindicated that, her Majesty's troops quitted the country as speedily as possible, leaving behind them an impression even amongst the inhabitants of that almost inaccessible country that English honour could not be insulted with impunity, and that the flag of Great Britain was yet all sufficient to pro tect those who sheltered themselves beneath its fold. (Loud cheers.) his lordship then alluded 'to the splendid gift of the City of London, and having again thanked the Lord Mayor and the Corporation for the honour conferred, quitted the hall in com pany Ni ith the Lord Mayor amidst general cheering. LORD NAPIER OF MAGDALA AND THE THIRD LONDON RIFLES. We are informed that the honorary colonelcy of this regiment has been accepted by Lord Napier of Magdala, and we c , ngratulate the corps, which is composed of working men, on the event. This distinction was, as some of our readers may remem ber, pressed upon Colonel Richards, the founder and commanding officer of the corps, on his late resignation ; but though the honour was fully ap preciated it was not accepted by him, on the ground that he wished to see some one of high influence and distinction, and also, if possible, a military officer of renown, the honorary colonel of the 3d London. It must be as gratifying to him to see his wish thus carried into effect, even beyond his probable anticipations, as it was to receive so high a mark of confidence and esteem on the part of the regiment which he so long commanded.-31orn ing Advertiser. The Hungarian Colonel Frigesy, who com manded a portion of the volunteer force at Mon tana, has published a letter upon the subject of the enrolments in various parts of Italy. The per sistent character of these rumours he justly at tributes to the turbulent and intriguing spirit of what may now be regarded as a fixed element of perturbation in our body politic. All the chief cities in Italy swarm with representatives of the class of professional volunteers, idle, dissolute vagabonds, who have lost all taste or appetite for honest labour, and derive a precarious subsistence from the proceeds of their blatant patriotism, either as recipients of a scanty daily pittance from the State, or by extorting contributions from well intentioned, but simple-minded folks in further ance of mysterious expeditions in preparation under the pretended patronage of Garibaldi. The Duke of Cambridge, attended by Lord Henry Lennox, M.P., and Col. Clarke, R.E. visited on Saturday the Albert Works at North Woolwich, and inspected the great floating dock building there for Bermuda. Th 3 Royal Standard was hoisted on his Royal Highness's arrival, and .saluted by the flagship Fil3gard. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVM\ING, JULY 21, 1868. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SHAMEFUL CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—Jas. Holder, a young man in the employ of Mr. Marks, ice mer chant, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt, to answer the complaint of the Royal Society for the Peven tion of Cruelty to Animals of ill-using a horse. A lady named Parker saw the defendant and another man taking blocks of ice from a cart in Cavendish-street. While doing so the horse threw up its head, and the defendant after jobbing it with the reins took up two pieces of iron called dogs, used for carrying the ice, and pushed the horse with it, causing its mouth and throat to bleed. She after wards gave information to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, hence the present proceedings. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Mrs. Parker said the horse appeared to be a quiet, good tempered ani mal, but the defendant seemed an ill-tongued man. The defendant said the horse attempted to run away, as it had once done before. Mrs. Parker denied this, and said that it was per fectly quiet, and she stood some minutes holding it. Joseph I)obie, officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said that from instructions he received from the chief constable of the society he went to the defendant's master and told him what he had come about, when the master said that the horse came home with its mouth bleed ing, and that the defendant told him that it was the result of an accident, the horse having bobbed its mouth [against the " dogs." On examining the horse he found a wound inside the lips, and another outside. On the following day the defendant, in the presence of his master and him (Dobie) admitted that he had lost his temper and given the horse a blow. The horse was a beau tiful one, and remarkably well fed and very quiet. The defendant's master seemed much annoyed at the treatment the horse had received, and said the law must take its course. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a great pity that a man fhould so far forget himself as to ill-use a horse in such a manner. The defendant would have to pay 20s. or 14 days. THE FENIAN PROSECUTIONS. The two prisoners, Blake and Williamson, who stand remanded on the charge of treason-felony, were again brought before Mr. Vaughan, at Bow street Police-court, this afternoon. Mr. Poland, instructed by the solicitors to the Treasury, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Mer riman defended the prisoners. Mr. Michael Clear, one of the head constables of Irish constabulary, stationed in the county Galway, deposed that on the 20th Nov., 1866, he was sta tioned at Liverpool, when a vessel called the City of Paris arrived from America. He saw Cooke land from the vessel. There was with him a man whose name he had once heard was Waydock. Witness saw Cooke superintending the examination of a box, being part of his luggage at the Custom-house. I have seen the wooden box now produced, which is, in every respect similar, and which I have no doubt is the same. I afterwards saw the box placed upon a car with several others, going the same night. Cooke went away in the direction of Matthews' Hotel. He did nothing in the car; it was a dray car for luggage only. I afterwards saw the prisoner in Liverpool. The box was examined by the Custom-house officers in the usual way. An American trunk belonging to Waydock was put on the same cart with the box. Afterwards on a Saturday, about the 24th, I saw Cooke and Waydock go on board the Brien Boru steamer for Drogheda. They were accompanied by two Forters carrying the American trunk. In consequence of an objection raised by Mr. Merriman, the witness was asked how he knew the other man's name to be Waydock? He replied that he knew it from private information. Mr. Vaughan held that was not sufficient, and that the witness should confine himself to the statement that he saw some other man with Cooke. The witness went on to say that he did not see the wooden box again till it was shown to him in court. (It was a plain but well-made teak box, brass bound, and of about four feet in length and two feet in width.) The American trunk was of wood, covered with leather, studded with brass nails, and fitted with leather straps. That was the usual description of what was called " Ameri can trunks." It was "in or about" the same size as this one. Cooke and the other man were in conversation when landing from the vessel (the City of Paris), and also while passing the goods through the Custom-house. Witness saw them in town the next day with two other men. It was on.the night of Saturday, 24th Nov., or morning of Sunday, 25th, between 12 and 1 o'clock, that they left Drogheda. No seamen's boxes were like the one produced. Thomas Matthews, 61 and 66, Porter-street, Liverpool, keeper of a temperance hotel, deposed that he kept the same hotel in November, 1866. The case was proceeding when we went to press.

EXTRAORDINARY ASSAULT.--James Parry, exca vator, aged 43, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with being drunk last night and disorderly, assaulting Mrs. Parry, his wife, at No. 1, Davis street, Manchester-road, Isle of Dogs. The prisoner was quarrelling with his wife last night, and, in the words of a witness, beat her " within an inch of her life." He struck her repeatedly, and kicked her with his heavy boots, dotted with nails. Mr. Grant, divisional surgeon of police, Isle of Dogs, Poplar, said the case was a bad one. The prisoner's wife was suffering from the fracture of two ribs on the right side, there were contusions on both arms, and a great shock to the nervous system. The woman was unable to appear, and he could not say when she would be able to attend. Mr. Benson remanded the prisoner for a week. THE SALE OF LQUORS ON SUNDAI' BILL. of the committee o n thisr h bill e has draft b of e n placed special report in the hand s o f th e mem bers. It was prepared by Mr. Hugessen, M.P. A lengthy document was also prepared by Mr. J. A. Smith, M.P., but the committee threw it out. In Mr. Hugessen's report " the committee refer to the movements in favour of the measure in certain dis tricts, and to the canvasses which have been made regarding it. They say great caution must be exer cised in affixing a value to the results of any such canvass. Although no imputations of dishonesty rest upon the canvassers, it has been proved to your committee that in many instances the canvass has been of a partial nature, and does not adequately convey the real sense of the community whose opi nions it professes to represent. They further say it has been proved to your committee that a very large number of persons make use of public-houses on Sunday against whom no complaint whatever is alleged, and to whom further restriction in the direction contemplated by the bill would be pro ductive of serious inconvenience. Those who drink to excess form a very small percentage of the whole number of persons who make use of public houses upon a Sunday, and it is probable that many of these persons, if deprived of their present facilities for obtaining liquor, would have mews() to drinking in private houses and to other methods of evading the law. It is, moreover, clear to your committee that there would be great difficulty in enforcing the restrictions proposed in the bill. The committee go on to say, although it cannot be de nied that drunkenness, to a considerable extent, both on Sundays and other days, is to be found in this country, yet the admission appears to be general that the present law is working well, and that under its operation a diminution of drunkenness has taken place. From this fact it has been argued that further restrictions would lead to further diminution ; but- having re gard to the experience of the past, and to the agita tion consequent upon the passing of a less stringent measure than the present in 1854, which measure was repealed in the following year, your com mittee are inclined to believe that the safe limit of restrictive legislation has been reached, and that further measures in the same direction would be unwise and injudicious. The praiseworthy exertions of the advocates of temperance must not be undervalued. These have, no doubt, materially contributed to the diminution of drunkenness, and simultaneously with these exertions, and the salu tary influence exercised by the ministers of re ligion, the opening, in several of our large towns, of parks and other places wherein fresh air and in• nocent recreation may be obtained by the working classes ou Sunday, has drawn many of them from publichouse associations, and induced them to spend their only leisure day in a manner more advan tageous to themselves and to their families. The committee conclude as follows : The concurrent testimony of all the witnesses proves that for many years past there has been a steady, de cided, and progressive improvement in the morals, habits, tastes, and manners of the people. The advance of education, the wider diffusion of knowledge, and the moral influ ences which have been brought to bear upon them, have doubtless all combined to produce this satis factory result. Regarding, then, this general im provement, and at the same time bearing in mind the fact that the habits of the upper and middle classes of society are far more temperate at the present day than was the case in the early part of the century, your committee are of opinion that it is not too much to hope that as the working classes also advance in self-improve ment, and are actuated by that self-respect which is engendered by improved education, the vice of drunkenness will gradually disappear with out the necessity of coercive measures on the part of the Legislature. In this view your committee cannot jrecommend the passing of the bill referred to their consideration, and would rather trust to the progressive improvement discernible under the present law, and to the further development of those moral influences to which they have already re ferred.—Licensed.Victuallers' Guardian. THE NEW BISHOP FOR NATAL.—The Bishop of Capetown has notified that "the Convocation of Canterbury having declared that the Church as a spiritual body may rightly accept the validity' of the sentence pronounced against Dr. Colens), and the Government having, after an undue interfe rence with our liberties admitted our perfect right to consecrate an orthodox bishop for the faithful clergy and laity in Natal, there is no further legi timate hindrance to the consecration of Mr. Ma crorie, who has been elected to the office of bishop by the Bishop of Grahamstown and myself, as proxies for the Church, in communion with the Church of England in Natal. The consecration, therefore, will bo proceeded with at the earliest possible period. Tnii matter settled, there is no further call for me to remain in England, and I propose now to return to my diocese." The Bishop of Capetown has guaranteed au income of £6OO a year to the bishop, and this amount has al ready been promised by subscribers for five years. An association is about to be formed to secure a continuance of the income for five or ten years mom A ELECTIONS 1N PARIS. A Deputy to the Legisfative Body is about to be elected in the Department of the Gard, a va cancy having occurred by the promotion of the late member, M. Fabre, to a high post as Judge. Three candidates present themselves. The first is M. Dumas, not the author of " Monte Christo," nor his son of the Dame aux Camelias, as was some what spitefully said at first, but the son of the cele brated chemist who was Minister of Agriculture and Commerce for two months and nine days-31st of October, 1850, to the Ist of January, 1851—and who after the Coup d' Etat was made Senator. The second is the Baron de Larcy, Deputy under the Orleans Government, where he sat and voted on the extreme Right, with Berryer as his leader, and was one of the five Deputies who, in 1843, paid the famous visit to Beigrave-square. He was also representative of the people in the two As semblies, Conztitutional and Legislative. He con stantly voted with the majority ; and though he supported the motion for the revision of the Con stitution of 1848, he refused to adopt what was then called the policy of the Elysee—that is, of the Pre sident Louis Napoleon. On the 11 of December, 1851, he joined his colleagues at the famous meeting in the 10th arrondissement, to protest with them against the Coup d'Etat. In 1852 he retired into private life till the general election five years ago, when he came forward as a candidate of the Oppo sition, and was defeated, in the same district of the department of the Gard from which NI. Fabre, the newly-made Judge, now retires. M. de Larcy is by all, accounts an able and honest politician. The Presse says : " lie recommends himself to the suffrages of the electors and to the sympathies:of all impartial men by the purity of his long political career, his noble ness of character, his extensive acquirements, and his brilliant talents." The third candidate is M. Teulon, who was also a Deputy in the time of the Orleans Government and voted with the extreme Left. lie was named one of the Judges of the Court of Appeal of Li moges. At the Revolution of February he was appointed by the Provisional Government Commis sioner for the Department of the Gard, of which be is a native ; and was elected represmtative to the Constituent Assembly. After the election of Prince Louis Bonaparte as President of the Republic, M. Teulon took his place among the adversaries of the Napoleonic policy. Defeated in the election for the Legislative Assembly, he resumed his functions as First President of the Cour d'Appel of Nimes, and retired from the Bench in 1863. Of these three candidates the official one is, of course, the son of a Senator. He is absolutely un known ; he may have excellent gifts and merits, but they have as yet to be displayed; but his great recommendation is derived from the scientific and political services of his father, which have been handsomely acknowledged by promotion to the Senate and divers public functions. If successful through the influence of his patrons, he will become another unit added to the compact band of Depu ties who vote silently and unanimously for all Go vernment measures. M. de Larcy in the Chamber would speak eloquently, as he has before done, against centralization, against lavish expenditure on public works, in favour of the extension of mu nicipal franchises, and for• the liberty of the press. The prefects have a sad time of it whenever new deputies have to be returned, for the defeat of an official candidate is a mark set down against them. M. Henri Itochfort, in the present number of the Lanterne, gives a humorous and not very exagge rated account of what is done on occasions like the present : "It is at this solemn moment that those luckless functionaries, whose embroidered coats are for so many the object of ambition and of envy, really earn their pay and allowances. I fancy lam pre sent at a conference between the candidate and the prefect. _ _ " Monsieur le Candidate,—Ba pleased to give me a few hints for the circulars which I have to ad dress to my dear subordinates, to whom I am goi ng to recommend you. Let me see—have you got any pictures at home ?' " Yes, three ; one of them an engraving of Mazeppa. I have also an engraving of Ivanhoe, but it has been transferred to the housemaid's bed room.' " ' Capital ! I shall then say that the fine arts and artists have always found in you an enlightened protector. Are you a graduate of the University ?' " ' No ; but in 1833 I had some intention of pre senting myself for admission to the Polytechnic School.' " ' That's something. I shall write that your special studies in the exact sciences give the cer tainty that not one farthing of money will be spent in France without being strictly controlled by you. Between ourselves—do you give much to the poor?' " One day I sent 25 francs to a tamer of wild beasts who had his arm mangled by his panther.' " I shall put down—compassionate and generous —no misfortune has ever found him _indifferent. His purse and his heart are alike open. The indi gent know it well, and when they sec him pass cry out "Ihere goes our father.' " Such are pretty nearly the mysteries which the Government bides from us with such jealous care. What particularly astonishes me in its conduct is that while so rigorously respecting the secret of the elections, it has such little respect fur the secrecy of lettere," BRITISH YOSSESSIONS.

The great event of the week 'las been the passing of the furlough rules. A special council assembled ou Monday and another has met to day to give theta the final impress. They have been passed in nearly the same form in which they were sent to England in December last. The only main alteration that has been made is that which permits a civil servant while on furlough to draw 50 per cent. of his ave rage receipts for the three years prior to his leaving India. This rule was passed to afford compensation to acting officers, who otherwise would have found their interests seriously affected, but it has been pronounced so good as to be extended to all. It is a fair rule and will work well. I believe it was attempted to apply the rule to the military, but it was statel that their rank stood in the way. It has been ap plied, then, to those only of the officers who are in civil employ, or who may draw consolidated salaries. The civil rules will, I apprehend, work far more evenly than those for the military. This arises from the very varying nature of the appointments held by military men. Thus, men hold appointments some for five years only, some " during good be haviour," some temporary offices. Now, according to the rules as they have been passed, those officers only will draw full benefit from them who hold the appointments during good behaviour under the Supreme Government. Au attempt was, I understand, made by the committee to remedy this injustice by providing that an officer should draw while in England the amount to which he was en titled on leaving India for the two years of his fur lough, but though strongly backed it was struck out. The consequence will be that while the whole of the appointment-holders under the Government of India, the regimental officers, and the holders of civil appointments will benefit largely by the rules, those holding offices the tenure of which is but for five years, and those whose appointments are of a nature at all temporary will derive but small bene fit from them. There is yet time to remedy this blot on rules otherwise so liberal. They will be pub.. lished next Saturday "subject to the approval of the Secretary of State." Now, if Sir Stafford North cote will only extend to the military the advantages granted to civilians, and will rule that whatever may be the actual position of an officer he may draw while on furlough 50 per cent. of the average of the allowances drawn by him during the three years prior to his leaving India to take furlough, he will make the rules equal for all, and will be blessed by more than half the deserving officers in the country.
