not been able to get their stock forward in tine fur Tues-
day's market. The market began at 0 o'clock, and con-

CHEESE.--3ALIBSURT, JULY 11. —Our monthly cheese
market, held to-day, was shortly supplied with cheese, the
greater part being of secondary quality. Buyers in attend-
ance were limited, and trade altogether was dull, particu-
larly at the early part of the morning, rather higher rates
being asked ; but holders having receded somewhat in their
demands, more business was ultimately done, and about
two-thirds of the cheese pitched were sold at former rates.
Skim cheese, 3Gs. to ; half cowards, 575. to 61s. ;
doubles, 60a. to G4s. ; best Somerset+, 665. to 73. ; Ched-
dars, 73. to 78e. per cwt.

THE IRON TRADE.—Braamoiraw, JULY 11.—The
ironmasters of this district held their second meeting for the
current quarter in this town to-day. The attendance was
large, and the tone much better than at Wolverhampton on
Wednesday, but there was an absence of spirit throughout.
A moderate amount of business was done in manufactured
iron of the beat brands ; for an inferior make there was very
little demand, and sales were made with difficulty at prices
as much below the trade scale as the difference was prior to
the reduction made a fortnight ago. The prevailing feeling
appeared to be that the trade will continue dull for soother
two months at least, all consumers being indisposed to pur-
chase for stock. bet that after that time there will be a
gradual improvement. At the present time some of the
producers of " marked" iron have their works in operation
osly three days a week.

PARIS, THIMSCIAT EVI2MIO.

The text of the judgment against Mires is too
long to be inserted in the evening papers, which
only give the result shortly. The severity of the
sentence—five years' imprisonment—which is the
maximum that the court had power to inflict, ex-
cites astonishment in many quarters, though, it
being once admitted that the deeds of Mires and
Solar were frauds in the eye of the law, the magni-
tude of them might well steel the hearts of the
judges to mercy. Mires and Solar are convicted of
" abuse of confidence," " swindling," " knowingly
issuing false inventories," and " knowingly distri-
buting fictitious dividends." The judges adopted
almost all the heads of the accusation against them
insisted on by the public prosecutor. The charge
respecting the Santander and Pampeluca Railway
is held to be not sufficiently proved. Count Simeon,
as president of the Council of Surveillance, is
declared to have known that the inventory of
1860 was not regular and correct, and is ac-
cordingly held civilly responsible. The effect
of this decision, if not reversed on appeal,
must be to ruin Count Simeon, and in all like-
lihood to lead to his resignation of the rank of
Senator. The other members of the Council of
Surveillance, although guilty of "regrettable
negligence," are acquitted of any guilty knowledge.

THE MIRBINO SNIPS ANN JACKSON AND HILTON.
—ln Liverpool serious doubts are at present entertained re-
prding the safety of these two ships, and upon the former
reseed as much as 50 to 60 per cent. premium Is now being
given ; as to the latter ship all liopessies to her safety are
unhappily given up. The Hilton sailed from Liverpool for
Calcutta on the Sod of November last year, with a cargo of
salt, and since that time she has never been heard of. It is
generally believed that the vessel foundered in cousequenoe
of a leak and the dissolution of the canto. The Hilton was
a fine North American built ship, of 1,263 tons, com-
manded by Captain 11• Leary, end owned in Liverpool by
Maim. Halhead, Fletcher, and Co. She was well known
as an Fast India trader. The Ann Jackson was a Work-
ington built ship, and left the west coast of South America
for Liverpool in or about the beginning of last February.
She has been heard of since that period, and it is sup-
posed that she must have gone down in a fearful storm
which swept the south-west coast towards the latter end of
February and the beginning of March.

VENETIA.

Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs whether, when Court Rechberg, in his despatch of
the 27th of April, denied that • state of siege elided in
Venetia, it was not the CYO that the ordinary government
is Venetia was, at least, as severe as any state of siege, and
that four men were executed, by sentence of court-exertial,
at Venice or its neighbourhood. on the very day on which
Count Rechberg dated that despatch.
Lord J. RUSSELL said be did not think it necessary to
lay Count Rechberg's despatch on the table, as it did not
appear to hire to contain any matter of public interest The
hon. gentlinuse had founded his question oo a speech of a de-
puty in the Italian parliament, as reported in the newt-
piers. He (Lord J. Rummell) really could not answer •
question of that kind ; but he tnight state that no informa-
tion had Mee resolved at the Foreign-office to the attack
" that the ordinary government in Venetia was as severe
ea soy state of siege, or that four men were executed by
sentence of coart-martial at Venice or Its neighbourhood
on the very day on which Count Rethberg dated that
despatch." (Hem, hear.)
PRIZE MONEY FOR DELHI AND LUCKNOW.

Sir H. VERNRY asked when the prise-money would be
paid to the AWN, ongiged in the suppreesiou of the lodide
mutiny ; also wietber the government had lent out the
money to interest, and whether the officers sod men would
receive the beoefit of any such arrangement. Alm whether
it was proposal to give to the army the booty taken at
IC irwoo, and if so, when and where ; nail whether Rix Hugh
Ruse's and General Whitelook's forces should both partici-
pate is it.
Sir G. WOOD said he could do little more than repeat
the answer which he hail given upon former occasions. It
was impossible for him to say when the prise money due for
the taking of Delhi and Lucknow could be paid to the army,
becalm the distribution could nut take place until the prim
mils had bees made out sad transmitted from this country
to India. The money had not boss employed by the gems-
meet, or lest out. It wee in the treasury d In&a, sad, of
coarse, no interest would be paid to those to whom it was
der. The booty taken at Kirwee was to hen given to the army;
but it was for the trasury, sod not fur him to decide whe-
ther the totem of Sir H. Rom aid Gemmel Winkled'
should participate in the division at that booty.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

Another of Griai's " farewell performances "
took place last night. She appeared in one of her greatest
characters, Lucrezia Borgia, for the last time (according to
the announcement) in England. Beyond recording this

fact, there is little more to say. She acted and sang as
ahe has often done before, displcying in her picture of the
terrible heroine a degree of tragic power which not one
of her rivals has yet been able to reach ; and singing with
a voice which, albeit diminished in strength and volume
still retains much of that mellow sweetness for which it
has always been pre-emiuent. It is scarcely necessary to
add, that her reception by a full house was in all r,apects
inch as was due to one who has for so many years been the
brightest oessurent of the lyric stage.

BERLIN, MAT
The bill on military reform was discussed in the
Chamber of Deputies to-day.
The Minister of Finance, in reply to a question
which was addressed to him, said :--" The right of
the representatives of the nation to vote the sup-
plies for the maintenance of the army does not
admit of a doubt. If ever there were a conflict
between that right and the rights of the supreme
Commander-in-Chief of the army, the solution of
the difficulty could not be sought for apart from the
constitution, but in the constitution itself."

THE POLICE COURTS.

BOW-STREET.

George Gates, a middle-aged,ialTcrasy looking man, de-
scribed as a butcher at Brighton, wee charged with smash.
Mg a glass-ease in the mineral department of the British
Museum, with intent to steal certain cut crystals, valued
at 151. . .

Edward Stokes, an attendant on duty in the mineral gal-
lery, deposed that he saw the prisoner go up to the case, at
half-pat II on the morning of the Gird instant, end de-
liberately force his elbow through the glue, which was a
piece of thick plate-glass, and could only have been broken
with considerable force. It appeared to be wilfully done,
but the prisoner made no attempt to mean., and when
spoken to upon the 'object, said "My foot slipped, and my
arm went through it." Witness gave him into custody.
None of tin minerals had been removed. He did not ap-
pear to be drunk, although a little strange in his manner,
Mr. Neville S. Maskelyne, of 112, Gloucester-terrace,
Hyde-park, keeper of the mineral department of the British
Museum, stated that he had arranged the specimenv, and
the peculiarity of this particular eau was that it contained
large cat stones of greater beauty and apparent value than
any of the other ones in the room. The stones were quarts

Brasil and Scotch. The value of the glass wayibout
Mr. Hardiest, the solicitor to the Museum, stated that
there was rather a singular circumetaine in connexion with
this one which led to the identity of the prisoner. He
had been twiee to the Museum (once in a tab) before the
dean were opined to the public, on the same morning.
When be was leaving the establishment, in the custody of
a polieendleer, he was recognised by two of his friend. from
Bnghtoo, who undertook to oonensunicate with his relation.,
sod let them know what had taken Osios. Nothing, how-
ever, had been baud frees them, and a medical gentleman
who bad examined him during his confinement had declined
to certify that be was Manna.
The prisoser said it was aa accident. He was calling the
attention of his computes to a beautiful diamond in the
cane, when his foot tripped and his elbow fell on the glue.
Mr. Comes said be did** think the prisoner meant to
steal anything, but was probably half stupid from previous
drink. He must pay the 5e., the coat of the glass, or go to
prisms for 14 days.
The prisoner only had 2.. 6d. in his pocket, and was there-
fore committed. He gave a letter to the gaoler, desiring
his " Dear gal to have dinner reedy at 6," but it was with•

mINGes COLLEGE HOSPITAL.

The annual dinner of this institution took place
yesterday at the Great Hall at Lincoln's- inn. through the
permission of the Beechen of that Society ; Lord CHILNB-
- in the chair. Anoe, those present were the Earl
of Yerularn, Mr. W. G. Gamete, M.P., Mr. Bovill. Q.C.,
Y.P.Mr. W. H. Finns , Q.C., Mr. Edmund Moore,
Mr. William Moody, Sir Phillip', the Rev. H.
Fisk the Row. Dr. Jelf (the Pri 1 of King's Collar),
Mr. Memos Nervy, the Von. Archdeacon Rubinson Mr.
Charles totter. Mr. Robert Cheese, Mr. Robert Pregor,
Captain Leopold Paget, and others. About 300 sat down
to dinner.

The " Health of her Majesty" and other loyal toasts
having been given,
The CHAIRMAN. in proposing the toast of the evening,
" Prosperity to the Hospital of Kiees College," said that
the poor were especially 'entitled to our sympathy, and no
hospital bad done more for them than the one thee had
now met to support. From the time of its foundation in
1837 dome to DM it had received 483,685 patients, and
last year the numbers amounted to 33,000. At present the
patients amounted to about 500 daily. This was mean-
Melly a free hospital. The patients might be admitted by
letters from the governors, but the surest letter of intro-
duction wee illness and distress. (Hear, bear.) The medi.
cal sod surgical attendaeoe at this hospital was of the best
daseriptiou. Not only did the patients receive physical
sire, bat their moral condition was also attended to. He
had himself attended the hospital, and he saw the suffering
relieved sled the service of the church daily performed 111
the hospital. The income of the hospital amounted to
between 6,000 f. and 7,0001. per annum. In suldition to that
they had mud contributions, amounting to upwards of
1,5001. par annum. In consequence of expenses they had
been put to in building their new hospital, and other causes,
they had become indebted to tbe amount of 2,0001., which
was not the result of extravagance, but of necessity. la
his opinion, this was a case in which every charitable heart
would be inclined to contribute.
_

The SICRITAIT read the list of omitributions, from which
it appeared that the amount subscribed before he entered
the room was upwards of 1,7001., and the amount of dona-
tions subscribed during the evening was upwards of 3,000/.
altogether, besides Mi. in annual subscription..
Several other toasts having been given the company se-
parated.

gratification at the high honour done him by the gentlemen
who bad got up the proceedings of the evening.

Ist, 2ial, 3rd, and 4th regiment, of Voltigeurs, a
regiment of Lancers, two regiments of Horse Artillery, •
division of Foot Artillery, and a detachment of Ponto•iers
and Engineer'. The whole formed a magnificent body of
troops of about 15,000 men. As the weather was most farm--
able, au immense concourse of spectators had assembled, and
the number of carriages was unusually great. His Majesty
arrived about four, with a brilliant staff, and accompanied
by several officers, among whom wore three in Ensile:l uni-
forms. The Empress drove up almost immediately after in
an open carriage, with the Pnneo Imperial by her side. His
Imperial highness at once mounted his pony, and weut with
the Emperor through tho make of the different regiment;
amidst loud cheers. His Majesty, having distributed a
number of crosses and military medals, returned with, the
Prince, and placed himself near the Empress's carriage.
The troops then filed off before their Majesties in admirable
order, and as they marched from the ground proceeded to
their quarters.

THE THAMES EMBANKMENT AND RAILWAY

COYY/&4/ON.

Yesterday the commissional' concluded their
investigation into the merits of the various plans before
them.

Mr. F. C. Woreley proposed the construction of food-
pies at Londombridge, an aqueduct sewer on each side of
the Thum% together with boulevards, architectural ways,
aid a railway.
Mr. O. M. Archer, a member of the press, submitted a
projeei (which was read by Mr. Kingscote, the hon.
secretary, with the consent of the oommissioners) for a
Themes viaduct, rail, road, and sewer.way ; the viaduct to
be a continuous viaduct from bridge to bridge down the
metre of the Thames upon ornamental iron columns, carry-
ing with it the railway or tramway, road, or promenade and
sewer, thereby leaving altogether undisturbed the shore
y and vested interests on either side the river,
property
viraduct furnishing facilities for the establishment
of " river streets, leading places, sod wharf sc.
ounsmodatioo as well as for telegraphs, water and
pa pipes, allowing by the latter means the lighting up
of the river navigation by night, the viaduct conveniently
dividingad the river into an up sad down navigation, to be
and deepened where desirable, besides allowing
barges and vessels to be towed up or down stream at all
those of tide by rope or horse power by the side of the
viaduct, which might be made a toll-road—thus endeavour-
ing to meet the main object of the commission, " That of
the establishment of a new and spacious thoroughfare along
the Thames, the improvement of it. navigation, and the
making of the great low level sewer without disturbing the
Strand or Fleet-street."
Captain Vetch, of the Admiralty, sod engineer for the
conservancy of the tidal waters of the United Kingdom.
pointed out the lines of embankment best to be adopted
along the river route. The walls should be of solid mate-
rul, and it would be alike desirable for the navigation and
sanitary purposes that the river should be deepened along-
side to 6 feet at the time of low water spring tides.
The commissioners then adjourned, and will next proceed
with the coosideratioo of the wharlingera, and other pro-

periled intereile on the river.
