It was true that this bill (No. 1) had no con gelioo with the viaduct alluded to except in so far that though the company had got power to make that viaduct, they had not the means to do so, sad asked the hones to give them the means by the bill now before the home. What he asked was that the corporation should have power to appear before the committee, in which case he would withdraw bis opposition to the measure. If not he would offer the bill the most strenuous opposition at every stage. Mr. MASSEY said he could not agree to the motion of the hoc. baronet, because it would be contrary to the peso. tine of the house. As, however, the nouns pursued by the hon. member for Stafford might at this late period of the session have the effect of throwing the bill out, he would move on Monday next when the bill stood for the second reading that the standing orders be suspended in order to facilitate the further progress of the measure. He hoped, therefore, that the hon. baronet would withdraw his motion.

The funds to-day are very steady, and the price of Consols for money is • trifle better than yesterday afternoon, although the Paris Bourse continues to droop. In the other depart ments of the Stock Exchange, business is dull, and some flatness prevails. English railway stocks are quoted slightly lower than they closed yesterday. In the foreign stock market the transactions have slackened and the more specu lative securities are heavy. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter opened at 68fr. 20c., being fully i per cent. lower than yes terday. Consols are now quoted 921 to 4, ex div., for money, and 921, "sellers," ex div., for the ac count (July 9). The official business report is as follows :--Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 92, 1 ; ditto for account, 924 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 911, 92 ; New Three per Cents., 914, 92; Thirty Years Annuities, 1885, 14 15-16 ; Bank Stock, 236 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1084, 1,1, ; Four per Cent. " enfaced," rupee paper, 971; ditto Five per Cent., 1061, ; and Exchequer Bills, March, par, 4a. dis. There is a fall of 14 per cent. in the Venezuela loan of 1862, which is now quoted 56 to 58. Mexican and Peruvian Bonds of 1862 are heavy. Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates continue to meet with inquiry. Greek Bonds have fallen 1 per cent., being quoted 351 to 36. Turkish securities are well supported, the Loan of 1864 being quoted 92 to 93 ; that of 1858, 691 to 701; that of 1862, 671 to 681, ex div. ; and the Consolides, 604 to 51. Transactions are recorded as follows :-Egyptian, 101 ; Greek, for account, 36 1 1, 351 ; ditto Coupons, 17 ; Mexican, for account, 37 ; Peruvian, 1862, for account, 881, 87, 4, ex div. ; Portuguese. 1866, 1857, 1859, 1860, and 1862 , for so- I count, 481, 1, ex div. ; Russian, 1862, 921, 93 ; Sardinian, for account, 88 ; Spanish, for account, 54, 531, ex div. ; ditto New Deferred, for account, 484, ex div. ; ditto Passive, for SO. count, 344, ; ditto Certificates, 13, 1, 124 ; Turkish, 1858, for account, 704; ditto 100/.

The emphatic ministerial declaration in parlia ment last night that the English government have no present intention of recognising the South, has had an unfavourable effect upon the scrip of the Confederate Loan, which is now quoted li to of dis., being per cent, lower than yesterday. Turkish scrip is quoted par to 1 prem.; Venezuelan, 2 to I dis.; and Italian, 21 to 31 prem. International Financial shares are quoted 6i to 51 prem. General Credit and Finance are rather firmer, at to If prem., while London Financial are slightly lower, at 11 to prem. The shares of the Egyptian Trading Company are lower, at Ito 11 prem. The Lincolnshire has arrived from Melbourne, with 43,000/. in gold, and the America, from New York, with =,OOOl. FOUR O'CLOCK. Consols are rather flatter, at 92 to i, ex div., for money, and 924 to f, ex div., for the 9th inst. Heavy payments being due yesterday, the last day of the ha.f year, and there being also considerable requirements in connexion with the large settlement in the Stuck Exchange, there was a decided pressure for money. In the general market the terms for choice bills were 4 per cent., and the applications to the Bank of England were heavy. Activity will probably continue to prevail until the 4th of July is turned, but there is an impression that after that date, when the influence of the dividend and other government disbursements will begin to be felt, the market will become easy. It seems to be expected that the rates in the open market will descend below those of the Bank of England before the middle of the month is reached. The temporary pressure in the money market on Monday seems to have been increased by preparations for the payment to the Hudsou's Bay Company of the purchase money for their property, DOW trans ferred to the International Financial Society, and which is to form the basis of a new company. The amount is said to be about 1,500,0001. of which 300,0001. is believed to have been discharged, leaving the bulk of the residue to be met in the course of to-day and next day, as the assents of the existing proprietors of Hudson's Bay stock come in. The transaction is of course limited to a mere transfer of money from the custody of one banker to that of another, but an effect is naturally produced for the moment upon the money market, inasmuch as funds are kept in hand which otherwise would be immediately available for general circulation. In connexion with this affair, the question as to the channels in which the sum of 1,500,0001. now paid to the old holdersof Hudson's Bay stock will find investment is of importance. A portion of it may perhaps go into government and other solid securities, but it is also probable that many of the old proprietors will subscribe for the capital of the new con cern, to be launched in the course of the next few days. It is assumed that these applicants, in common with the shareholders in the International Financial Society, will have a certain preference in the allotment over the general public. It is inte resting to notice the rapidity with which the Inter ' national Financial Society has acquired a large ' degree of financial power resulting from the actual possession of an important amount of paid-up capital. On the 13th of July, when a call of 21. 10s. is due, the capital paid up will be 750,0001., viz., 51. per share on 150,000 shares. An instalment of 10 per cent. falls due to-day (Wednesday) on the Confederate Loan of 3,000,0001., 15 per cent. on the Italian Irrigation Company's Loan of 1,000,0001., and 10 per cent, on the Italian Loan of 28,000,0001. The present instalment on the Confederate Loan will make 45 per cent. paid, and will leave 45 per cent. still to be met. As regards the Italian Loan, the instalment now falling due makes 30 per cent, paid on the issue price of 71 per cent., and leaves seven instalments of 10 per cent. each on that price still to be liquidated. The gold operations at the Bank yesterday com prised a purchase of 29,0001. in bars, and a with drawal of 60,000 sovereigns for Constantinople. The greater portion of the Mexican dollars by the steamer Hansa, from New York, were sold yester day fur China at ss, 21d. per ounce, showing no change. _ _ .

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our market this morning was limited, and the show of samples was small. The general condition olf the wheats, however was good. For ell kinds the demand for shipment to the Continent having wholly subsided, the inquiry was in a sluggish state. Compared with Monday, however, no change took place in the quotations. We were well supplied with foreign wheat. Fine quell ties were taken in moderate quantities, at previous rates ; but low and damp parcels moved off slowly, at bendy previous currencies. Floating cargoes of grain, off Falmouth, were vary dull, and prices ruled a shade lower. Bitley was in moderate supply, and sluggish request, at about last week's quotations. No change took platy in the value of malt, but the trails was somewhat heavy. Fine oats commanded previous currencies. Heated par ade were much negl ected. Beans changed hands slowly, yet prices were supported. Peas were vary dull, but no actual change took place in their value. Both Eoglish arid foreign floor met a slow sale on former terms. Very little floe Amerind is on offer. Linseed and rapeseed changed bands to a fair extent at full prices. All other seeds, se well ad cakes, were very dull. ! Qr.

Hichens, Harrison, and Co., and Messrs. Mullen., Marshall, and Daniell. Attention is drawn to the high value of money in Brazil, as indicating that there is still an am le field for the profitable employment of capital. The under taking is described as constituted " with the support of parties possessing large local interests in Brazil and Portugal" The general control is to vest with the board in London, but arrangements have been made for the appointment of a number of gentlemen of commercial standing to act as a local board in Rio de Janeiro. It is mentioned that application having been made that a consider able portion of the share capital may be reserved for Portugal and Brazil, the directors have decided to limit the issue of shares in this country for the present to 35,000. Another new undertaking is the Ripbmond-hill Hotel Company (Limited), which is formed with a board comprising the Earl of Sefton, and several other gentlemen of position. A very eligible site has been secured, in close proximity to the Star and Garter Hotel, at the moderate cost of 7,5001. It comprises about three acres, and possesses beautifully laid out grounds. The hotel is to con ' taro more than 100 bedrooms. It is affirmed that large fortunes have been realised by the proprietors and lessees of hotels in the immediate vicinity. The capital proposed is 100,0001., in 10,000 shares of 104 each, but as the whole of this sum is not expected to be required, the first issue is limited to 5,000 shares. Five per cent. interest is to be allowed on the paid up capital until the hotel is opened.

Thousands of respectable work jag men were anxious to obtain decent lodging accommoda tion, but there was no supply adequate to the large demand.
