LO : A 11 AND 0 011NERCIAL if NTELI, - .Cilt t‘'i.Cl„ CITY, Two o'CLocK. E xpectations have began to prevail of a reduction uthe r a t e o f discount to 11 per cent. consequent Pon the large and increasing supplies of unein -I)l3Yed capital. No change, however, was made by . the Bank Directors to-day. As the 2 per cent. mini- Mum has been in operation for exactly a year without creating a revival in the demand, or absorbing any Portion of the Bank's own reserves, it is perhaps reasonable that the experiment of a reduction should be made, though there is no precedent of a 1 per minimum.

CITY OF LONDON COURT. (Before Mr. Gilmour.) IMPORTANT NOTICE.-CAMERON V. CRANE. This was a case of a somewhat singular and im portant character, sent down from one of the superior courts, in which the plaintiff, as executrix under the will of her late father, sued the defendant, a clerk iu the City of London Union, 51, St. Mary Axe, upon an I 0 U. Mr. Macrae Moira appeared for the plaintiff, a governess at Hexham ; ➢lr. F. Kent representing the defendant. Mr. Moira, in opening the case, said that he felt bound to inform the Court of some singular facts. In the first instance, the action was entered in one of the superior courts, and upon the defendant's ap plication the cause was removed to the Westminster County Court, but when it came on for hearing defendant objected to the jurisdiction. Subse quently Mr. Baron Bramwell sent the case down to this court. The learned counsel said that his client had written letters to the defendant, and had re ceived replies, and in one of the answers, dated May sth, he expressly said he would rather pay the plaintiff than her attorney. Mr. Kent said he should object to the jurisdic tion of this Court. His Honour, after conferring cith Mr. Grant, the acting registrar in court, found that the defen dant might have been sued in this court as having employment in the City. A witness was then called to prove a positive promise to pay on the part of the defendant. Mr. Kent admitted the probate of the will, and also the I 0 U for the debt, the latter instrument having been signed by the defendant. Mr. Kent proceeded to argue that the money had been lent to defendant's wife, who bad persuaded the defendant to sign the I 0 U. Defendant was at variance with his wife, and had not received one penny of the money. Although he had given the I 0 U, there was no consideration for the document. His Honour called the attention of Mr. Kent to the promise to pay. Mr. Keut said his client had been driven into a corner in an unguarded moment. The mere pro duction of the I 0 U was no proof of a considera- Von, and there was a case of Stone v. Macnab, 7 Taunton 432, directly in point. His Honour, without calling upon Mr. Moira to reply, found a verdict for the plaintiff, with costs. Mr. Kent applied for time to consider what steps the defendant should be advised to take. Mr. Moira objected to any departure from the usual course. His client was a poor governess, earning a living in a rather hard way, and she had been dealt with very shabbily in this case, being sent from pillar to post. He should press for a forthwith order. His Honour made a fourteen days' order, and it was understool that an application would be made for a forthwith order. POLICE LV TELLIG ENCE.-THLS DAY. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. MURDEROUS ASSAULT OS A FEMALE.—Jam3S NrCarthy, a painter, was charged before Mr. Knox with violently assaulting a woman named Caroline 13.trker, residing in Porter-street, Newport-market. The injured won - 1m was not in attendance, and the following certificate was handed to Mr. Knox : " This is to certify that Caroline Barker is not in a fit state to attend the Police-court," and it was signed by Dr. Calthorpe, of the Charing-cross Hospital. Christina Barker, a girl about 12 years of age, and daughter of the injured woman, said that on the previous night prisoner, who was an acquaintance of her mother, came in and got into bed and kicked her mother. He afterwards got out of bed and put on his boots, and on her mother asking him what he was going to do he took up a poker. Her mother then got out of bed, when the prisoner struck her and threw her against the wall, and then took a knife off a plate, and also took up a candlestick. Upon that she (witness) ran down stairs, and directly afterwards her mother came running down stairs crying " Murder," and streaming with blood. Sergeant Shillingford, 4 C, said the woman was very much injured, having received two bad wounds on the head. The candlestick was broken in two. George Hamilton, 56 C, said that on being called by the last witness he saw the woman run down stairs, and she fell down in a pool of blood. Hav ing secured the prisoner, he took the injured woman to the Charing-cross Hospital. The prisoner, who had nothing to say, wag re manded. Ann Fay, the wife of a painter, charged with suicide through di stress, was b roug ht before the magistrate and di sc h arge d , £2 rece i ve d from " A. H." and " E. H. H." per the Rev. G. Hough, chaplain at the House of Detention, being handed to her, for which she expressed her gratitude. THAMES. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON POLICE CONSTABLES. — Jeremiah Cleary and John Grady, Irish labourers, were brought before Mr. Benson, charged with as saulting Police 'William Dunaway, a police-sergeant and detective officer, No. 11 H, and George Foster, a police constable, 207 H, in the execution of their duty. Dunaway said this morning, at 1 o'clock, I was passing over Tower-hill and saw a number of per sons about a coffee stall on Tower-hill. I went to see what was the matter, and the labourer Cleary said, " What the - are you looking at ?" Some one said, "He is a policeman." I was struck, and Foster, who was with me, was hit. A general row ensued, and I and Foster, and a third constable, were beaten. If it had not been for the aid of two constables of the City force we should have been severely punished. I ought to have told your worship that an Irish gentleman has been recently plundered of £250, and we have now two men in custody at the station-house for being concerned in the robbery. Foster, who had been severely punished, and one of his teeth knocked out, identified the prisoners as having been engaged in a most flagrant outrage, which at one time threatened serious consequences. George Padfield, 188 H, said he was also as saulted by the prisoners. Clary struck him and wounded hitn. The witness had received a wound on the lip, and w. 13 maimed terribly. Mr. Benson said this was the most wanton and brutal outrage he had ever met with. He sen tenced the prisoners to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour. [ADVERTISEMENT. .1 —Holloway's Pills.—Nervous Irrita bility. —The very perfection of the human body renders it like a complex machine, very liable to be thrown out of order, a state that is at once made manifest by the nerves. Holloway's pills are always tho seasonable and reasonable remedy : they relieve every ailment which is not mortal in the hum a n s y s t em . A s a lteratives, stomachics, tonics, and aperients, these pills occupy a proud pre - emine 2 ce , from which no other medicine cau dislodge them ; they restore health and strength, which nervous and dyspoptic sufferers have failed to procure elsewhere. During sum mer and in inalarious situations, when the nervous tone is more particularly assailed, Holloway's medicine braces up the system, and keeps the Lead clear and the intellect auclouded. - • THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 18(I8, SHARE LIST. 61-LAILNS AND 8T0C14.35.

The SPEAKER took the chair at half-pastl2 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills wereread a second time :—Aberdeen Town Council Bill, Hamp's Estate Bill, Savile Estate (Extension of Powers) Bill, and Ward Jackson's Estate Bill. THE BRISTOL ELECTION COMMITTEE. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE gave notice that on going into committee of supply he should move that the Attorney- General be instructed to turn his attention to the Bristol Election Committee, and to prosecute those persons who in his judgment had been guilty of corrupt practices, bribery, or personation, or who had aided and abbetted others in such practices. THE ROYAL IRISH INSTITUIT. Sir P. O'BRIEN asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the unanimous resolution of the Corporation of Dublin in favour of the purchase of tilt site of the Exhibition Palace for the Royal Irish Institut) had been received, and wheth r the Gevernment rote ided to 1!Ct3 , 10 to its prtyer. Mr. G. HARDY s:,il th 3 resolution hat been received and due kt.mtion had been given to it, but there sae commission sitting upon the subjecr, and un;il it had re ported he could give uo more explicit information with regard to the matter. TRACTION LOCO3IOTIVE ENGINES IN SCOTLAND. Mr. FORDYCE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention had been called to the want of due control over traction locomotive en gines in Scotland; aid, if so, whether ho would introduce any measure on the subject this session. Mr. G. HARDY said his attention had been called to the subject, but he was not prepared this year to introduce a bill to alter the existing law, which was the same in Eng land and Scotland. INVESTMENT OF TRUST FUNDS SUPPLEMEN- TAL BILL. . Mr. AYRTON moved that the house go into committee on this bill. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE moved an amendment, that the house go into committee on the bill that day six months. After some discussion the house divided, when there appeared— - - For going into committee l6 Against it Majority SALE OF POISONS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, the object of which was to impose such restrictions on the sale of poisons or noxious drugs as to render their possession more difficult than at present to unskilful persons. Various amendments were made with respect to manufactures, and provision was made that in all cases that when any. poison was sold by a properly qualified chemist or druggist an entry should be made of the same in the book, which the purchaser should be called upon to sign. It was also provided that none but qualitied persons should be allowed to sell or dispense poisons, and that in all cases the word "poison" should be distinctly printed and affixed to it when sold. ASSESSMENT 01? MINES. The house then went into committee on this bill. Mr. DENMAN thought the bill would bo found un workable, and therefore it was useless to proceed with it. Mr. HARDY was of the same opinion. He thought that the promoters of the bill ought to rest satisfied at present in having obtained the assent of the house to the principle that all mines should be rated to the poor. The best course to adopt would be to withdraw the bill for the present, and introduce a more efficient bill next session. The bill was then withdrawn. PUBLIC SCHOOLS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. SIR R. NAPIER'S ANNUITY BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. On the first clause being proposed, which gives an an nuity to Sir R. Napier and his next male issue of £2,000, Sergeant GASELEE said that he should have preferred that a lump sum of £30,000 ba given to General Napier instead of an annuity. Ho did not, how ever, wish to raise any objection to the bill, as it was now too late to do that, but had the course he adopted been taken he thought it would have been much better than giving an annuity. The bill then passed through committee, and tho houss adjourned. 711 E CHARGE 01 , FENIANISAII. Th• following appeared in our Latest Edition of yesterday James Williamson, otherwise Cooke, of Claren don-street, Somers Town, and James Blake, Vere street, Itlington, clerk, were placed at the bar on remand, before Mr. Vaughan, at Bow-street Police Court, charged by Mr. Williamson, chief inspector of the detective force, with treason felony, Mr. Poland appeared on the part of the Trea sury to prosecute, and Mr. Merriman defended the prisoners. Mr. Poland said the most convenient c3urse to pursue was to go as far as he could with the evi dence. Mr. Vaughan—What do you propose to show ? Mr. Poland—.l shall calla witness who has known the prisoner Blake for two years, and then you will say, sir, what weight you attach to the evidence. Corydon, the informer, was then called, and in continuation of his former evidence, said—Before Weydock and Cooke went to Drogheda, I had a conversation with Cooke about a box. Weydock, Burke, and several other persons were present. The box contained copper mallets for breaking through powder magazines in Ireland. This occurred at Mather's Hotel. Cooke said he got the things in America for the purpose I have already stated. Mr. Vaughan—Did he particularly mention any magazine ? Witness—Yes, the one in Phcenix-park. In fact all the magazi nes i n I reland were t o be forced. It would of course be dangerous to usa iron mallets. There was a conversation about the prospects of things in America. Weydock was present. After the prisoners had left Drogheda I gave in formation to the head constable at Liver pool with resp ec t to C oo k e and Weydock. They left Irela n d on t h e 2lt h o f November, 1866, on a Saturday night. I saw the box containing the mallets take n from blather's Hotel to Christian street, Liverpool, w h ere i t was f ou nd by the polica. M'Dermott was the name of one of the men en gaged in moving the box. He had since been arrested in Liverpool. The box was removed before Cooke and Weydock left. I saw M‘Dermott in custody at Liverpool. 111‘Dermott lived in the house in which the box was found. I did not see the prisoners after they left Drogheda until last Saturday, when they were in custody of the police. I know Cooke brought over £lOO from Ireland, which hesaid he brought from Col. Kelly to deliver to Duffy for Fenian purposes. I know Roberts, who was the president of the Fenian Brotherhood, that is of one portion. There had been a split amongst them, and O'Mahony was the president of the other. The latter was the Stephens' section. In Ireland there had been a discussion about a matter. Kelly belonged to a different section to Roberts. Mr. Merriman—l decline to cross-examine the witness at present. There is not yeta tittle of evi dence against Blake. Robert Gardner said— I am now sub-inspector of the Irish constabulary stationed at Drogheda. On the 25th of Nov., 1866, I received some informa tion from Dublin Castle, and also description of two men. In consequence of that I went with a party of police to the quay at Drogheda, and there waited the arrival of the steamer from Ireland. When the vessel arrived corresponded I watc hdthe passengers leave, and two with the description so of them nearly that I arrested them. I.found the prisoner Cooke and his companion secreted in the engine room, and took them into custody. Cooke gave the name of M'Cook, the other that of Wey dock. 1 handcuffed them, and took them to fDroghedaund on g a ol Cooke.. A number of greenbacks were Mr. Poland—Did yon not fini some keys? Mr. Poland•—That may turn out to be of import ance, as one of them may or may not open a box. Witness—The prisoners were very much cheered as they went to the gaol. Patrick Mullany, another informer, said—l was formerly a member of the Fenian Brotherhood. I was a centre in London. I know the prisoner Cooke well. I first saw him in May, 1867, in Kavanagh's public-house, Pollen-street, Regent street. He was introduced to me by a Fenian leader named Flood. Flood told the prisoner Cooke I was a London centre, and that I could render him essential service. He told me Cooke was an agent for Roberts, that he had come over here to re-organize, and that he was head centre of Dublin. Donoghue was in company ,with . • Cooke. We had a conversation together. Cooke said he was appointed to re-organize, in order that the next rising might not prove a failure. The American officers were the wrong meu, and that he (Cooke) came directly from Roberts to do so. Cooke wanted to know where Kelly was, in order that he might inform him of .his appointment. Cooke said he had sufficient money for the purpose of reorganisation, and that he had got it from Roberts. He asked me to give the men of my circle over to the Roberts' party, but I refused. I said Kelly was the only honest mart amongst the lot, which he was. I knew that there was a split in the organisation. I be longed to the Kelly party, and the prisoner to the Roberts' division. The dispute went to such a length that after leaving the public-house Cooke knocked me down in the street because I would not give my men over to him. I got up very angry, and was about to give him into custody, when Donoghue said in the presence of the prisoner, " Doll% give Cooke into custody, as it will be dan gerous to the organisation." Mr. Merri►nau—l obj •ct to that going on the deposition. Ic is merely hearsay. Mr. Vaughan-4 think it material ; so it must be taken. Witness continued-4 saw Cooke the next day at Kavanagh's public-house and made it up with him. After that I was in thel habit of seeing Cooke from time to time. He told me his mission here. He said he was appointed by Roberts to effect a reorganisation. I never knew Cooke by any other name. I knew the other prisoner well—his name is John Blake. I first saw him two or three years ago. I knew him as a clerk. Mr. Poland—Did you know the prisoner as a Fenian ? WitueSs—l have known him to be a Fenian, but never mixed up in any of the arrangements. I always looked upon him as a respectable young man. lie did not Live by it as the other prisoner did. Mr. Merriman protested against such questions. Witness continued—l have seen Cooke in the company of Colonel Richard Burke, who was con victed at the Old Bailey. Cooke and Burke began to talk about- money matters. Burke accused Cooke of stealing £lOO, with which he (Cooke) was intrusted to pay the wen in Dublin. Cooke said they were all in it for themselves, and he might as well have the money as anybody else. Blake and Cooke were there during this conversation. I did not know where Blake lived, but I have frequently met him at Kavanagh's. Whenever I have met him there we generally discussed the prospects of Fenian organisation. I knew Blake belonged to the Roberts' party. I first met Cooke, in May, 1867, at Kavanagh's. Col. Dunn was present on that oc casion. Kavanagh's house was the head-quarters of Fenianism. Have seen Blake there; never had any particular conversation with Blake, but I knew he was a centre belonging to the Roberts' party. I was attached to the Kelly party, so we were much in opposition. The last time I saw Blake was in August, 1867. It was at a meeting in Seven Dials in 1865 ; Blake was there. I heard at that meeting a talk about collecting arms and ammunition, and those who did so were to go to Irelanl. Mr. Vaughan—How many were present at that meeting? Witness—l should think about ten persons. Witness continued—A man named English was there ; he was a centre, and be invited me. There never was any occasion for the meeting to be held with closed doors. Any one could come into the room whilst we were arranging our affaire— they would not know what was going on - that was the beauty of the organization. I think Blake said to me .Mrs. Justice had oarried his things (arms and ammunition). Mr. Merriman said he would reserve the cross examination of the witness, as far as regarded Cooke, but he would ask some questions with respect to Blake. • In answer to questions from the learned gentle man, Mullany said the meeting at Seven Dials was a very trivial matter. I was there by invitation, and John Blake, the prisoner, was also present. I have seen Blake, at Kavanagh's, and the reason, I believe, that led him there was that he was courting one of Kavanagh's daughters_ (Laughter.) We used to have music at our meetings in Kavanagh's. I never knew Blake to be a Fenian. He had not the pluck to be one. (Laughter.) Mr Merriman—l shall not ask you another ques tion, Mr. Mullany. Mr. Vaughan—You have said that Blake was a centre? Mallany—Yes ; he had told me so, but I also knew he was one, but he never took any active part in the Fenian cause like Cooke ; he was a leading man. Elizabeth Valiance, of 47, Clarendon-street, Somers town, said —1 know Cooke. He resided in my house. lie has been with me two or three months. I knew him by the name of Johnson. The police have searched his rooms. I have sem the other prisoner, Blake, who called upon Mr. Johnson (Cooke). I don't know what Johnson used to do for a living. 'When he first came to us he said he was a traveller. \y Vallance—l believe the shorter prisoner of the two is the person whom Johnson gave as his reference. I know the direction given was 42, Noel-street, Islington. Blake gave Johnson (Cooke) a very excellent character.. Mathilda Deck, a lodger in the house of Mr. Valiance, identified Blake as a visitor to Mr and Mrs Johnson. Inspector Clarke—Since the last examination, I have sorted and counted the ammunition found at Cooke's lodgings. I found that it consists of 160 rifle ball cartridges, Lancaster pattern, two ball cartridges for a breech-loader, 120 pistol bullets, ten blank cartridges, and two bullet moulds. Both prisoners were again remanded, bail being refused for Blake. PROGRAMME OF STAMFORD RACES. FRIDAY.

Mr. ASSIIETON took the oath and his seat for Clitherov. SOUTH EASTERN, LONDON AND BRIGHTON, AND S.)tirrll COAST RAILWAYS. On the order of the day for considering the Lords amendment to this bill, Mr. WATKIN moved to disagree with so much of the amendment as related to the omission of clause 88, issuing of preference and deferred ordinary stock by the South Eastern Company. The amendment was carried by a very small majority, and over 5,000 persons being affected by it ho hoped some opportunity would bo given for it consi deration. The motion was agreed to and, a committee appointed to draw up the reasons for disagreeing. BREECII-LOADING CANNON. Mr. S EIERIDAN called the attention of the house to the petition of Mr. Goddard, who had succeeded in construct ing a cannon on the above principle, which had been suc cessfully tried at Shoeburyness. He had overcome the great difficulty, viz., that of properly closing the breech and preventing the escape of gas on discharge. That dis covery had bean adopted by the Government, but the inventor had never received the slightest compensa tion; although ho had made-application for it. He sh4uld b 3 quits content if the right hon. Bart. (Sir John Pakington) would read the petition, in order to see what could bo done under the circumstances. . THE ROYAL GUN FACTORY. Major ANSON moved that a committee of five members bo appointed by the committee of selection to inquire into the following allegations :—T hat in 1864 the royal gun factories, on being applied to by the. Ordnance select com mittee for estimates for cheaper 9-inch guns than those that were being made at that time, sent in erroneous comparative estimates, on the strength of which the Ordnance Select Committee decided in favour of the gun proposed by the Royal Gun Factories ; that a simple 9-inch gun was then made by the Royal Gun Factories, the details of the cost of which, on being compared with the details of the cost of similar guns manufactured two years afterward.", show great and apparently inexplicable discrepancies ; and that like errors have been made by the Royal Gun Factories with regard to the comparative cost of new wrought-iron and converted guns, thereby entailing a heavy and unneces sary expense upon the country. Captain VIVIAN moved to add to Major Anson's mo tion—" That Sir John Pakington and Major Auson be added to the committee, for the purpose of examining wit nesses and taking part in the pro'eedings, but without the power of voting." Sir J. PAKINGTON said he had no objection to the nomination of the committee, but he must decline to serve on it on the ground of his public duties, and also he thought, if the house decided to have the investigafion, it was but fair that Colonel Campbell, the head of the gun factory, whose conduct was in some degree impugned, should be added to the committee as assessor, as ho was not a member of the house. Lord HOTHAM thought it objectionable to appoint persons on a committee and relieving them of the respon sibility of taking part iu its decision. He did not think the committee ought to be appointed by the committee of se lection, but that, as the matter was a public one, he thought a committee of seven members, including the Sec rotary of War and Major Anson, ought to be appointed by the house, and that the sittings of the committee should be continuous. The suggestion of the noble lord was agreed to. SOLDIERS' DAUGHTERS. 001. NORTH moved an humble address to her Majesty, that she would be graciously pleased to direct that an institution should be established to receive and educate the orphan daughters of non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the army. The honourable and gallant gentle man said an institution supported by the Government for the support of soldiers' dau_;hters was urgently required. The institution referred to iu the motion had done incal culable good, au I there were now 176 inmates therein. It was not because that former efforts to provide fur the daughters of soldiers failed that further efforts should not be made. (LEFT sirmo.) AEITII. The Edinburgh correspondent of the Ayrshire Express states that " the King of Prussia is about to present a statue of Marshal Keith to the town of Peterhead. Previous to the rebellion of 1715 the Marshal was proprietor of all the land in the neigh bourhood, including that on which the town is built. For the part he took in the rebellion, how ever, he forfeited his estates, which were then bought by a company of fishermen. This company became embarrassed, and the property fell into the hands of the Merchant Maiden Hospital in Edinburgh, which still derives a considerable por • tion of its revenue from the fens. After leaving this country, the Marshal went to Germany, and rose high into rank and favour in the Prussian ser vice. Some time ago the Town Council of Peter head learnt that a marble statue of Marshal Keith at Berlin had been replaced by one of bronze, and that the former was lying in a dila pidated condition in ona of the military schools. They therefore made efforts to secure possession of the marble statue, but these proved ineffectual. Lately, however, a public-spirited citizen took the matter up, and brought it under toe notice of Count Bismark, who showed the letter to the King. Ills Majesty at once resolved t.) gratify the people of Peterhead, not by giving them the broken marble statue, but by presenting them with a new one in bronze, which is to be sent free to some convenient port in this country. This in formation wa3 last week conveyed, through the Prussian Ambassador in London, to the gentleman who made the application." Foreign Mail Packet Lie.

THE APPROPRIATION BILL—An erroneous idea prevails that the Appropriation Bill must necessarily occupy ten days in its passage through both heuses. Tho bill can pass through the Commons in three days after its introduction. The Lords can pass it through its stages in two days, and it might receive the Royal assent the fol lowing day. The prorogation it is expected will be ca Saturday week. GOSSIP ABOUT ABYSSINIA. —The Abyssinian Calll- paign was as remarkable p robably for the slight amount of ,ickness and mortality as fur the small number of wounds which attended it. We have ascertained that the deaths among the British part of the forces, from the first landing in December last until its departure in May, amounted to seven officers and twenty-five men. Two officers and eight men died below Senafe, and five officers and seventeen men at different places below the station. The major part of the force was, we believe, beyond Senafe. Dysentery was the cause of about half the number of deaths. The army is supposed to have quitted the ,country just at the ri g ht time. There can he no doubt that several promo the of medical par liamut, service in Abyssinia failed to obtain the head w rs i e tions in the Army Medical Department mu s t f o ll ow th e n Qtlio suc cessful termination of th thanks hee campaign.
