Death of Mr. Scholefield, M.P.

e regret to have to announce the sudden demise
in his 58th year of Mr. William Scholefield, MY'
for Birmingham. The hon. gentleman had bee¢
suffering for some time from heart disease, but Nvi
able to discharge his parliamentary duties. 01
Monday night he was in his place in the House
Commons, and presented a petition. - He appearn
at the breakfast table yesterday morning in his ustO
health ; but a sudden accession of his mortal ailn3eo
set in shortly afterwards, and in a few hours he Wag,
a corpse. Mr. Scholefield had represented nir;
mingham since 1817, having previously in 18!
been unsuccessful in a contest for that borough. 11
politics he was what used to be called " a Radicei
Reformer," being in favour of a wide extension
the suffrage, vote by ballot, &c. In private life be
was greatly respected ; and few members in tb
house, belonging to his political section, were inc're`,.
respected. He was the second son of Mr. Joser,
Scholefield (who had been many years member fa;
Birmingham). He was the first mayor after tbli:o
borough received its charter of incorporation 15,
1838 ; and, as one of the leading merchants, P°.o
sessed great influence, and took an active part. Id
local affairs. He was a widower, his wife hol"

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In the General Discount Market there continues
to be a very limited inquiry for accommodation,
and the supplies of capital on offer being augmented
)y the payment of the dividends at the Bank of
England, quotations for the negotiations of first-
Aass commercial paper rule at about 2 per cent.,
while there are exceptional transactions at 18 per
:cut. In monetary circles it is generally expected
:hat the Bank directors, at their weekly court to-
norrow, will make a further reduction in the
niniinum rate of discount.
Gold to the amount of £3,000 was taken to the
Rank of England yesterday.
The report of the Peel River, Land, and Mineral
D',lnpany states that the general condition of the
Whole of the live stock may be considered as having
been satisfactory, and a dividend is proposed of 1
per cent. on £600,000, the consolidated stock of
the company, payable on the 26th of July next, free
A income tax.
At the meeting held to-day of the Union Bank
A London the report of the directors stated that
le net profits of the bank for the six mouths end-
ng 30th June amounted to £221,479 4s. 7d., out
which a dividend at the rate of 15 per cent. per
annum was declared.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
!main steady at 30 32, and the Consolidated
Vortgage Bonds at 244 244.
The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great
Western Railway for the second week in June
tinounted to $102,394, against $123,524 in the
;')rresponding period last year, showing a decrease
)f $21,130.
With reference to the Buenos Ayres Great
southern Railway, we learn that the accounts pre-
i.ented to the Government for the working of this
me during the quarter ending March 31, 1867, show
he following results :—Total receipts, £22,433
128. 2d. ; total disbursements, £12,076 19s. 2d. ;
eaving a net balance of 1.10,076 ; and in their
'encral report just issued on the different railways,
he Great Southern is thus alluded to :—"ln other
words, the net proceeds for the first quarter
A 1866 were about 24 per cent., and for the same
?eriod of 1867 were nearly 6 per cent. This
iotable increase in the proceeds of a railway
Within twelve months gives us well-grounded hopes
chat the Southern line, under its prudent and
conomical administration, will be able, within a
'or
years hence, to return the sums now payable
or balance of guarantee during the infancy of the
!uterprise."
