ONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is little business in progress in the Money
Market, as usual on a Saturday. The comparatively
few bills, however, brought forward for negotiation
are charged full prices, although the brokers have
an abundance of money lying unproductive. The
continued adverse tendency of the Foreign Ex-
changes leads to the supposition that a large quan-
tity of gold will be required next week for the
continent.
_ There were no gold operations at the Bank of
England yesterday afternoon.
It has been telegraphed that the Birmingham
Banking Company have suspended payment. It
had three-fourths of all the accounts of the greatest
of the trading community of this district. To say
hat is to give some idea of the frightful results
which must ensue from this calamity. The amount
of the deposits is about £BOO,OOO. Probably the
total liabilities are over £2,000,000. The number
of shareholders exceeds 800. The company was
established in 1829 ; its paid-up capital at this
moment is a little short of £280,000. Contingent
depreciations and reserve fund at the last report, in
February, £200,000.
The directors of the Imperial Bank have issued
their eighth report to be presented to the share-
holders on the 17th instant. The balance-sheet
611°ws that the profits for the past six months
amount to £44,865, and after defraying the
current expenses making provision for tad
and doubtful debts allowing rebate on
b.
discounted not yet due—an available
balance of £25,559 remains, which the directors
• propose to appropriate as follows :—To the pay-
ofn a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per
annum, free of income tax, £lB,OOO ; to raising the
reserve fund to £60,000 by the addition of £3,000,
and carrying to profit and loss new account, £4,559.
At a meeting yesterday of the Langton Old Bank,
which stopped payment on the 4th inst., it was
stated that the liabilities are £84,104, with assets
amounting only to £39,753, and that there has been
an over-issue of notes of £12,000.
London, England, 1866-07-14

STAMFORD-FRIDAY.

At this day's market there was a meagre show of
wheat. The trade was inactive, but the prices of last week
were mostly made. Barley stationary in price. A veil

TIIE
HAIRS OF THE HUMAN HEAD.—Only a
German could have patience to count the hairs of the
human head, which have been commonly supposed to be
" without number." The results aro sufficiently curious
to reward the investigation. The hair from the heads of
four women, weighing about fourteen ounces to the head
was taken, and on the head of the blonde was found
140,519 hairs ; of the brown-haired, 109,440 ; of the black-
haired, 202,962 ; and of the red-haired woman, 83,740.
[ADVERTISEMENT.)--Holloway's Pills, for the cure of
debility, biliousness, liver and stomach complaints.—This
inappreciable medicine is so well known throughout every
part of the world, and the cures performed by its use are so
Wonderful, that it now stands the
above all other
remedies, more particularly for the cure of bilious and liver
complaints, disorders of the stomach, dropsy, and debili-
tated constitutions. In these diseases the beneficial effects
of the pills are so permanent, that the whole system is
renovated, the organs of di,gestion strengthened, and a free
respiration promoted. This salutary step is gained with-,
a r

out any drawback, as the pills purify and strengthen

progress of events in Germany, but all parties seem
uncertain how to act. The prospects of Austria are
indeed bad, but we do not yet despair of some check
being put upon the pretensions of Prussia. Now
that Power has so speedily achieved such great
victories some seem to suppose that she has a right
to monopolise an immense territory, and to appro-
priate to herrielf the rule in Germany, but in reality

SAVAGE ASSAULT AND INTIMIDATION.—WiIIiam Finn,
aged 26, a lawless ruffian, well known to the police, was
brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assault-
ing Johanna Donahoo in Rose-lane, Rateliff.
A few nights ago a serious robbery was committed on a
captain of a ship, who was inveigled into a vile house in
Shadwell, hocussed and robbed of £2O and his watch.
The complainant accompanied the captain who was robbed
to the station-house, and gave information against a womn
who was the principal in the robbery, and who has ab-
sconded. The complainant has since been annoyed and
insulted by a gang connected with the woman who com-
mitted the robbery, and her life has been threatened. The
prisoner met with her last night, and after a deal of foul
language he made a brutal assault upon her. He knocked
her down and dragged her along the street by the
hair of her head and kicked her. The screams of the young
woman brought Police-constable M4Kay,275lC, to her aid,
and he took the prisoner into custody. The complainant
exhibited bruises on her arms and face. She had been
much injured. A woman of low character named Betsy.
Daly, called as a witness, made an attempt to mystify the
case, and M'Kay said she belonged to an infamous gang
who had been threatening the complainant.
. .

Mr. Paget said ho should visit with great severity all
assaults upon, and intimidation of, persons who came for-
ward to assist in the administration of justice or to give
evidence against offenders. If Besty Daly annoyed or
threatened the complainant he would punish her severely.
Ile sentenced the prisoner to two months' hard labour in
the House of Correction.

COMPANY.

" Gentlemen,—By order of your directors it becomes my
painful duty to inform you that owing to gross past mis-
management recently discovered, they have sustained
heavy losses, and a large amount of capital has been locked
up in securities that for a time cannot:be realised. Under
these circumstances your directors have been compelled to
close the bank. While expressing deep sympathy with
creditors, it is not necessary for me to say anything more
than their claims are perfectly safe, but to you I am autho-
rised to say that in all probability it will prove that al-
though the whole of the reserve fund is: lost, a portion of
the paid-up capital will remain if the estate is realised with
care and economy.-_I am, gentlemen, your obedient ser-
vant, "THOS. SHAW, Manager."

The amount of the deposits is about £BOO,OOO.
Probably the total liabilities are over £2,000,000.
The number of shareholders exceeds 800. The
company was established in 1829 ; its paid-up capi-
tal at this moment is a little short of £280,000.
Contingent depreciations and reserve fund at
the last report in February, £200,000. They are
£2O shares, paid up, but on the original shares
no more than £4 3s. 4d. bas been paid up. The
dividend and bonus of late years has been £2
per share annually. Less than two years since the
capital was increased by the issue of 10,000 new
shares of £lO, paid up, at £lO per share
premium. At that time the price of the shares
was 14. Within the last few months a gra-
dual decline has taken place. Yesterday the
shares suddenly ran down to 20 ; to-day it
began to be talked about that all was over,
but very few people belieied it. The shares
were sold at 18 in the course of the day.
The stoppage of Attwood and Spooner's Bank was
as nothing compared with what this must be.
There has been a conference among the other bankers
in the town to-night and they are well prepared for
to-morrow, but the scene there will be in town is
something fearful to contemplate. The following
circular has been prepared

"The undermentioned banks, desirous of alleviating as
much as possible the effects of the stoppage of the Bir-
mingham Banking. Company, are prepared to afford facili-
ties for supplying the immediate necessities of the deposi-
tors and customers of the bank :—Birmingham Town and
District Bank, Birmingham and Midland Bank, Birming-
ham Joint Stock Bank(limited), Lloyd's Banking Company
(limited), National Provincial Bank of England."

Sad Occurrence.—Loss of Two Lives by
Drowning.

Yesterday (Friday) evening, two lads named
John Alden and Isaac Giddy, the former about 16,
and the latter about 13, lost their lives under the
following distressing circumstances :—The de-
ceased, who were employed at Mr. Andrews', saw-
mills, James-street, Old Kent-road, went, after
leaving their work, to the Surrey Canal for the pur-
pose of bathing, neither of them being able to
swim. After being in the water a little they began
amusing themselves by clacking each other, and
while doing so one of them got out of his depth,
and in attempting to save himself seized the other
and drew him after him, and both sunk. An alarm
was given, but some little delay occurred before
any attempt to extricate them was made, in
consequence of a false alarm having been given the
previous evening, and the persons in charge of the
hatch thinking it was only a repetition of the scan-
dalous conduct. On the bodies being got out they
were conveyed to Mr. Harlings, the Britannia,
Britannia-row, near the hatch. Dr. Anderson, of
the Old Kent-road, was sent for and attended, and
every means was resorted to to restore animation,
but without success. When the Bad intelligence
was communicated to the mothers of the deceased
(both widows, one residing in James-street, and
the other in Ffatcham-road, Old Kent-road), they
were, as might be expected, almost broken-hearted.

What the Reform Bill Ought to Be.

It ought to be comprehensive.
It ought to be complete, not partial.
It ought to deal with all the evils complained of.
It ought to enfranchise Intelligence no less than
Probity and Industry.
It ought to equalize the numerical proportion among

the constituencies.
It ought to try at least to secure iniependence of

voting.
It ought, like the Bill of 1832, to close for a long
interval further discussions about Parliamentary
Reform.
Instead of all which—lt gives the signal for inde-
finite agitation.

Reasons Against this Reform Bill.

It is merely a Bit of Reform.
It is unasked for by the country.
It is regarded with apathy out of doors.
It is dictated by Mr. Bright.
It is unsettling instead of settling things.
It is a single-barrelled measure—
It is one of—a Small Bore 1
It is but another "dodge"—(teste Sir H. Cairns.)
It is simply a lowering of the franchise.
It is swamping the counties with the boroughs.
It is a boon alone to small shopkeepers and artisans.
It is a shock to the balance of the Constitution.
It is a stitch out of time necessitating more than
nine others.

It is an evasion of all sorts of difficulties that
loudly require settlement.
It is a disregard of the urgent need there is for a
redistribution of the electoral districts.
It is at once too much and too little—too much to
one class—too • little, or rather none at all, to
other classes.
It is going down hill too fast, without skidding the
wheel beforehand.
It is one of Lord Russell's crotchets only half-
heartedly advocated by Mr. Gladstone.
It is a frank summons to the landed proprietors—
" Dilly, dilly, come and be killed !"
It is a turn in the right direction—over the left !
It is,
rate, one good turn that deserves atany an-
other—meaning a turn out.
It is like the mirror in the hand of the last of the
spectre-kings in the vision of Macbeth.
Only—in the mirror thus presented to our view by
this last of the long series of Spectral-Reform
Bills—while we perceive therein dimly fore-
shadowed a long perspective of other.Reform-Bills-
in-embryo stretching out to the crack of doom,
we can hardly say of these, any more than we could
of their predecessors, " another and another still
succeeds !"

The Price of Gold.
0-

By advic:s from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 atcrlinz.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, there:bre, at
about the same price in London and Hamburg.
The couree of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 107 k per cent. At these rates these
is no profit on the importation of go'd from the United
States

The quotation of gold a t Paris is about per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.25. per .£1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.

THE RIFLE GUNS:

Mr. H. BAILLIE asked the Secretary of State for War
whether any of the 12-ton guns rifled upon the Woolwich
pattern, and now being served out to her Majesty's ships,
had been submitted to the test of continuous firing, such as
would occur during a bombardment?

The Marquis of 11ARTINGT ON said the gun referred
to had been submitted to 135 continuous discharges. The
exact accuracy of the aim had been ascertained, and it
was looked upon as the most successful practice of a rifled
gun yet known.

THE CUSTOMS CLERKS,

Mr. BLAKE asked the Secretary to the Treasury whe-
ther it was the intention of Government to increase the
salaries and alter the classification of the outdoor officers of
Customs, as has been recently done in the instance of the
clerks of the indoor department ?
Mr. CHILDERS said there was no intention to make
any alteration in the arrangements at present existing.
THE BUDGET.

Sir F. KELLY asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether he was able to inform the house at what time he
proposed to bring forward the budget?
Tlae CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was
the intention of the Government, supposing the adjourned
debate on the representation of the people was finished
that evening, to take the second reading of the bill on the
12th April, which was the first Government night
after the Easter holidays. The Government pro-
posed to go on with that bill night by night,
without albwing other business to interfere with it—
(hear, hear)—until the measure was completed as far as
the second reading was concerned. The budget would be
taken the first Government night after the second reading
of the Reform Bill.
THE NEW REFORM BILL.—ADJOURNED
_ DEBATE.

The adjourned bebate on the motion of the CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER for leave to introduce a bill to amend
the representation of the people was resumed by
Mr. LOWE, who snid he was of opinion that the alter-
ing of the present law with respect to representation was
of a most serious nature, and therefore to deal with it
lightly, or to tamper with it strongly, was extremely dan-
gerous. (Hear, hear.) He was not prejudiced in favour
of the state of things that at present existed, and he
only inclined to the £lO franchise, but adhered to it
until something better was done. He did not see the good
that was to be got by the proposed reduction of the elec-
tive franchise ; it would increase electioneering expenses,
increase bribery and intimidation, and bring about
a state of things at present very little ex-
pected. (Hear, hear, from the Opposition.) He was
of opinion that eventually the bill would lead to the work-

working class had demanded a new a new reform bill, and
if they had not, he should like to know who had. (Loud

Drury-lane Theatre.

Last night Shakspere's tragedy of " King Lear "
was performed with great success in the presence of
a very crowded audience. In the character of Lear
Mr. Phelps gives the most pathetic expression to the
sorrows of the forsaken king, and so well acquainted
with the performance is the play-going public in
general that we need only say that last evening his
acting was marked with all that sound judgment
and well-sustained vigour for which it is remark-
able. Mr. Marston as Edgar, Mr. E. Phelps as
Edmund, and Mr. Barrett as Gloucester, contri-
buted greatly to the excellence of the performance.
Mrs. Hermann Vezin infused a sweetly affectionate
vitality into the part of Cordelia, and Miss Atkinson ,
as Goneril, very vividlypourtrayed her scheming and
relentless sister. Miss Poole, as the Fool, gave a
truly Shaksperiau rendering of the character. It
was marked by the most fantastic humour, and in
addition to the rhymes of which the part is made up
she introduced various snatches of wild melody
that called to mind very many pleasant recollec-
tions. The tragedy is to be repeated during the
week. On Fridaycvening the great Little Percy
Itosell appears, in addition to his part of King
Pippin in the pantomime, as Little Pickle in the
" Spoiled Child," it being the last juvenile night,
and also the benefit of the little man.
