The letters to applicants for the Portuguese loan
to whom no allotment can be are expected to
be sent out this evening. The allotment letters are
to be posted on Saturday evening.
The new Peruvian loan is expected to be intro-
duced to-morrow or on Friday. It will consist of
Fonr and a Half per Cent. Bonds for £5,500,000 at
93, with dividend from the Ist inst., and payable
in instalments extending to the 24th of December
next, on which 4i per cent. discount will be allowed.
This loan is intended to absorb all the Peruvian
stocks at present existing in the London market,
amounting to about £2,700,000, which are to be re-
ceived in part payment at various rates, according
to their denomination. The who'se of the guano
hitherto hypothecated will thus be set free, and is
to be appropriated to the new loan, together with
the proceeds cf the Belgian contract, the estimated
produce being about £500,000 per annum beyond
the sums required for interest and sinking fund.
The sinking fund is to be accumulative, and at the
rate of 8 per cent. per annum, commencing on the
Ist of January, and is therefore calculated to redeem
the whole debt in 10 years.
The Liverpool cotton-market continues to gain
firmness from each receipt of American news.
The receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway of
Canada for the week ending the 12th of July were!
£13.877 sterling, being £1,643 more than in the
corresponding week of last year.
United States Five per Cents., which only a short
time back were at 80, have fallen to 63 to 65, being
the lowest point ever touct.ed.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
return shows this week an increase of £8,287.
It is expected that the prospectus of the new
Venezuelan Loan will appear on Friday morning,
if not to-morrow afternoon. The amount is
£1,000,000, in a Six per Cent. Stock, at the price
of 63, and the operation is framed so as to be very
advantageous to the holders of existing bonds, as
Well as attractive to those who may feel inclined to
participate in the proposed addition to the debt of
the Republic. •

MERSEY, IRWELL, &c., PROTECTION BILL
(LORDS).
Mr. C. FORSTER moved that the standing orders
should be suspended in the case of this bill, and that it
should be read a third time. Some discussion ensued as to 1
postponing the bill, on which the house

Mr. Pook, in applying for the bankrupt to pass, said that
the case appeared hard on the bankrupt, who had in the
first instance offered his craditors a composition of ss. in
the pound, which they refused. He then petitioned the
Court, but as it was alleged that he bad disposed of all his
property, although for the object of settling with his credi-
tors, his Honour,l Mr. Commissionar Evans, said that, as
the bankrupt had not brought any assets to administer, he
felt bound to dismiss the petition, but at the same time
expressed his regret at feeling called upon to do so. The
bankrupt was subsequently arrested, but was released from
custody.

Majority . . .. —26
_ _ _

Mr.Brough opposed and examined the bankrupt at length,
when it appeared that there had been quite an "alarming
sacrifice" on the sale of the furniture; and as the creditors
would not take the composition, he, out of £3B, paid his
then attorney £25 to carry him through the court, and an-
other legal gentleman had asked him £3O.

Mr. COBBETT moved the insertion of a clause to the
effect that the company should not have the privilege of
depositing the matter dredged from the upper part of the
stream at the bottom of the stream.

After some discussion the amendment was agreed to.
Mr. COBBETT then moved the insertion of a clause
providing that when a party claimed a right bona fide to do
what might be complained of the jurisdiction of the justices
should cease

His Honour said he would adjourn the case for Mr,
Commissioner Evans's consideration, and grant protection.

DIVORCE AND BANKRUPTCT.-IN RE BAMFORD.

This bankrupt was described as a major in the army, but
he had gone under the name of Captain Carter, &c., &c.
Mr. Pook opposed on the ground that the bankrupt had
omitted to insert in his balance-sheet a contingent annuity
of £5O a year, he was also liable for alimony due to his wife.
Mr. Aldrige, for the Crown, thought the accounts ought
to be amended.

Mr, MASSEY and Mr. GEORGE contended that the effect
of the clause would be to nullity the whole bill.
The house divided, and the numbers were—

Mr. COBBETT moved the insertion of another clause
having for its object the prevention of the interruption of
the ript which parties exercised between them at present
in respect to the stream.

Mr. Pook opposed the bankrupt's release, and he was
,aken back in custody.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

Mt, GEORGE opposed the clause, which was negatived
without a division, notwithstanding that the " ayes" were
numerous

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. COBBETT said that the act was to extend and en-
close the rivers lrwell and Mersey at Warrington-Bridge,
and the tributaries of the rivers above the junction of the
rivers, the effect of which would be to place certain mill
owners at a considerable disadvantage. He moved there-
fore that the words "above the junctions of the rivers"
should be struck out of clause 3.

AUCTION Room ROBBERY—DARING ScHEME.—Fredk.
Owen, George Ctx, and George shave, the latter well-
known to the police, were charged before Mr. Knox wish
stealing, at the auction rooms of Messrs. Jones and Bon-
ham, auctioneers, of 410, Oxtord-street, a large looking-
glass.

then crossed the street, and watched the three prisoners and
two others not in custody, and saw Owen move the glass
nearer and nearer to the street. The three men moved
towards Charles-street, when he (Mr. Jones) saw Shave
and Cox go in and look at the glass. Owen then moved
the glass, and took out a book as if to make believe he was
looking at a catalogue. A person then drove up in a cart
and the prisoners spoke to the driver, and the driver handled
the glass and then got into the cart. He (Mr. Jones) then
observed the driver move on a little, and then Owen and
Shave lifted the glass, and in about a minute Owen lifted
the glass on the top of Shave's head ; but his (Mr. Jones's)
partner—Shave having gone about six doors off with the
glass on his head—followed them and stoi ped them. 'the
prisoners were then seized, and taken to the Marlborough-
street station. The glass was the property of himself and
two partners named Bonham.
Mr. William Bonham, ane of the firm, confirmed Mr.
Jones as to seeing the glass moved from place to place, and
said the prisoners were engaged in the robbery nearly one
hour and a half.

Mr. GEORGE said that this bill had been carefully con-
sidered by the House of Lords, and in the committee of the
House of Commons, and he felt bound to oppose the amend-
merit.

After some diaXasion the house divided on the motion
that the words proposed to be omitted stand part of the
clause.

VENTILATION OF SCHOOLS.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The discount market to-day again appears a little
firmer, owing to a slight increase in the demand
resulting from the usual payments at the end of the
Month. The change hitherto, however, has been
and has scarcely attracted notice in com-
mercial circles, because accommodation is still ob-
tbinable s per cent. under the minimum of the Bank
of England, and the mercantile classes have not an
extensive supply of bills to negotiate.
It is expected that the new Venezuelan Loan
Will be brcught forward to-day, and that the Peru-
vian will follow to-morrow. The opinion seems to
prevail that the investing public will subscribe
largely to both undertakings, as the terms have
been arranged in an attractive form.
It has been notified that the sinking fund of the
Chilian 4-1- per Cent. Loan of 1858 has been increased
from
1, at which it was originally fixed, to 1 per
cent., and the Bonds have slightly improved in
'consequence.

Mr JONES asked the Vice President of the Council of
Education whether any, and what steps had been taken
to remedy ihe defective state of the ventilation in the Go-
vernment Schools, adverted to in the late report of the sani-
tary commissioners; and whether the attention of the right
hon. gentleman had been called to the system of Mr. Cooke
the engineer, of Spring-gardens, which had been applied to
several public buildings, and amongst others the Colonnade
Instituti.n, Clare-market.

Arrow, 207 C, said nothing was found on the prisoners
of a suspicious nature.
Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said on the 6th of March last Shave
was charged with stealing a coat, and pleaded guilty, and
received two months ; and before had had him in custody
for opening doors, with a peculiar ins rument for stopping
the ringing of bells, set on springs, in his possession at the
time. He then received three months' imprisonment.

Mr. LO WE said tha Government took the greatest
pains with the ventilation of the schools they assisted in
building, and he did not think they were in a defective
state. He was not aware of the nature of Mr. Cooke's pro-
cess, but the Government were always open to sugges-
tions on the matter.

The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures as under :--

Mr. Knox said he should send the case for trial, and th•
prisoners were committed.
PARISH PROSECUTION OF A BROTHEL KEEPER.—Dr.
Walton, alias Mr. Walton, alias Mr. Spiller, of 77, Castle
street, Leicester-square, was charged by Mr. Allen, of
Carlisle. street, Soho, on the part of St. Ann's parish, with
keeping a common, brothel.
The prisoner was ocintoitted; bail being fixed at himself
in £10,) and two sureties in £5O each.

UNION RELIEF AID BILL.

On the order that this bill, as amended, be considered,

Mr. PULLER moved—That it be recommitted for the
purpose of moving clauses to enable the guardians of
uni,,ns to borrow money on the security of rates of parishes
within such unions.

WIFE DESt.RTION.—David Cullen, a well-dressed man,
described as a sail maker, and a Prussian, was charged by
Mr. Tett, inquiring officer of St. James's, with deserting
bis wife and leaving her chargeable upon the parish since
April last. _ _ _

Mr. HIBBERT thought that if the bill passed in its
present shape it would operate very harshly on many
semi-distressed unions. It was in districts, which were
bordering on distress, which were opposed to the bill. He
hoped the house would not carry out the principle of a rate
in aid.

The case having bean proved by Mr. Tett and the wife,
who said the prisoner lett her in April last without any
means of support, and being also unwell, she was obliged to
go into the workhouse.

Mr. VILLIERS said the question now raised.was the
same which had been disposed of the other night. The
object of the bill was more to relieve rate payers than to
provide relief for the poor. He believed that the distress
would be greater than at present, but that the worst time
would be over by October.

The evidence having been interpreted to the prisoner by
Mr. Albert, and there being no probability of the prisoner
coming to any terms with the parish authorities, Mr.
Knox committed him for a month with hard labour.

After some remarks from General LINDSAY and Mr.
CmArrunD,

Mr. COBDEN said he had that morning received a
telegram from Rochdale, informing him of the opinion of
the people that the bill would be valueless. It was the
ganeral desire of the people of Lancashire that borrowing
powers should be granted. In the name of Lancashire, he
was willing to give up the rate in aid altogether if they
could not have the borrowing powers with it. (Hear,
hear.)

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

There has not been much animation in the Eng-
lish Stock Market this morning, the brokers and
dealers' being chiefly engaged with the settlement
in Foreign Stocks and Railway Shares, and some
Bales having been effected, a slight decline has
taken place. Consols for money and the 7th proximo
are 94k, and 949 for September. The New
Threes and the Reduced are flat at 941; Exchequer
tills remain at 255. to 28s. prem.; Bank Stock has
receded to 2391; and India Five per Cent. Loan, to
1084,
Very little business has been transacted in the
Foreign Market, attention being almost exclusively
directed to the settlement of the account, and prices
show rather less firmness. Turkish 6 per Cents.
are 861 ; ditto, 1858, 741 75-1; ditto New Loan
has receded to 31 prem. ; Egyptian Scrip is
;eady, at 121 13 prem.; Italian 5 per Cents. are
7rt:, at 71! 721; ditto Railway Loan has risen to
4z; ditto Scrip, to I prem. ex div.; Moorish 5
per
Cents. are 961 ; Sardinian are flat, at 841; and
Venezuelan, at 281 2.
The New Portuguese Loan is 3k Z- prem. ; and
the Venezuelan, 31 4 prem.
thA Railway Share Market business has been
rather restricted, and a slight downward movement
has taken place in value. Eastern Counties have
receded ss. ; Caledonian, Great Western, Lanca
Shire and Yorkshire, and Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincoln-,,, 10s. ; and Bristol and Exeter, and South
Eastern 15s.
The Foreign and Colonial lines are also at
Slightly reduced quotations. South Austrian and
Lombardo-Venetian have declined to 221. East.
Indian, 1041 ; Great Indian Peninsula to 1021
102; ; Great Western of Canada are firm at 1244 ;
and Grand Trunk of Canada. 211.
Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
in some instances, a shade flatter. London and
Brighton have declined to 64 ; and Bank of Austra-
lasia to 69.

Mr. J. B. SMITH supported the rate in aid. He
thought the Government made a great mistake in Not
to ing means for promoting the growth of cotton in India.
He opposed the borrowing powers, considering that if money
were borrowed, the parishes would not be able to pay with-
out great embarrassment.

Mr. NEW DEGATE thought the request of Lancashire
a reasonable one. The people of that county must be the
best judges of their own requirements. The loan, he
thought, ought to be granted in the first instance.
Mr. HENLEY approved of the plan of the Government
rather than that of borrowing. He thought the plan of
the Governmeot should be adopted, and if it failed, Parlia-
ment could be called together in the autumn.
Mr C. LEIGH suupported the views expressed by Mr.
Cobden.

Lord FALMERSTON said that nn doubt it was an easy
way of getting money to borrow it, regardless of conse-
quences, but it would be the introduction of a new principle
which might be applied to every district in the country in
which there was any distress. He believed that
the wealth of Lancashire and Cheshire was suf-
ficiently great to provide for any rate in aid which might
be thrown upon them. (Hear, hear.) He regretted that
some of the wealthy capitalists of Lancashire and Cheshire,
perceiving the difficulties and distress which were coming
on, had sold the materials they ought to have used, and
had gone out of the country. He hoped the house would
stand by the bill as it stood.

Mr. AYRTON denounced the bill as it stood as a gross
injustice.

Mr. DEEDES supported the amendment proposed by
Mr. Puller.
Alderman SIDNEY supported the proposal of the Go-
vernment. He could not understand where the money
proposed to be borrowed was to come from. He thought
a loan would be a very unsound mode of meeting a tem-
porary pressure.
The Marquis of HARTINGTON supported the amend-
ment, believing that loans would be the only means of
making pr. perty pay its fair share.
The house divided—

Col. W. PATTEN hoped that after such an expression
of opinion the Government would take the matter in hand
with a view to a modification.
Lord PALMERSTON said, the house having decided
in favour of the loan principle, the Government would in-
troduce a measure embodying the principle affirmed.
Mr. VILLIERS said he would undertake to propose a
clause giving the alternative power of a rate in aid or a
loan.
The bill was recommitted pro forma, on the under-
standing that Mr. Villiers would bring up his clause to
morrow.
