In an address to the electors of Nottingham, pub lished this morning, Lord Amberley intimates that it is not his intention to offer himself as a candidate for the representation of the borough. In explaining the eir eiimstrinees which have led to this decision, his lordship says that, when he consented to become a candidate at the lust election, he did so in the belief that there would be no liberal candidate in the field beside himself and the other gentleman Who then possessed the confidence of the large majority of the liberal electors ; but a third candidate afterwards appeared in the person of a gentle man professing liberal principles, and his lordship wa.s thus placed in the unpleasant position of haring to carry on a contest, not only against a conservative, but also against a far more formidable opponent. Remember ing the circumstances of the last contest, and the probable character of that which is to come, Lord Amberley has arrived at the conviction that, having regard to the groat importance of strengthening and uniting the friends of libel al principles, he should not he justified in asking the electors of Nottingham to continue in a future parliament the trust they have committed to him in the parliament that now exist■.

There was a very short supply of English wheat on sale here to-day, but the quality of the samples was moderately good. Millers operated very cautiously, but owing to lean favourable accounts haring been received from some quarters in regard to the ensuing crop, the re cent whence in prices was firmly maintained, and souse very choice parcels realised is. per quarter more money. The show of foreign wheat was extensive, and the wieldy of the crimples wan good. All kinds met a slow inquiry, hut the quotations ruled very fi rm. There wan scarcely any English barley on offer, but foreign qualities were cheaper to sell. Man was very quiet, but without alteration in price. Thew was a good show of outs, awl sound corn was un envied in value, but inferior prime were dull and droop ing. Beans were a slow sale, on former terms. Maize was held at Into rutes. Peas wet a dull inquiry, but no change took place in plicea. The English seed market was very inactive, and the quutations are altogether nominal. Linseed was dull, but rapeseed showed rather more animation. There was no special feature to notice in the flour trade. There was very little business passing, and both country and foreign qualities were held on former terms. Town made marks were unaltered. Owing to the unsettled state of the corn market, the float ing gram crop trade has been irregular. Only a limited number of arrived cargoes of wheat have been on sale, and business has been very dull, holders haying had to accept 3s. to 4s. less money to effect sales.

A NEW ARGENTINE LOAN. ONE O'CLOCK. Messrs. Baring Brotheni and Co. invite teart.rs for 1,930,000/. of Argentine Six per Cent. Sterling Bonds, being the remainder unissued of 2,500,000/. authorised by act of the legislature of the Argentine Republic, dated the 27th May, 1865. The prioe of issue is 721 per cent., and 3 per cent. is to be paid on application, and 10 per cent. three days after allotment. A sinking fund of 21 per cent. per annum, on the principal of the whole loan of 2,500.000/. will com mence on the Ist July, 1869, and be applied in equal half-yearly payments, together with the interest on all bonds paid off to the redemption of the loan at par. It is satisfactory to notice that the bonds and dividends of this loan will be exempt from any future taxation on the part of the Argentine government. The English funds are steady to-day at the closing prices of Saturday. Notwithstanding the issue of theprospectus of the new Argentine loan, foreign bonds are in good demand, and the general course of quotations is favour able. Peruvian of 1865, Brazilian of 1861, Italian of 1861, and Russian of 1866, have been bought to a considerable extent for investment. Railway shares, however, are dull, the plentiful supply of stock at the settle ment, which will be completed to-morrow, having induced sonic speculative operations for a fall.

The adviocs from New York, dated Saturday, announce the shipment of 246,0001. in gold for Europe. HALF-PAST ONE OCLOCK. Consols are 1 per cent. lower, at 941 to for money, and 941 to 95 for the account. Great Eastern stock has fallen a per cent.—vis., to 361 to 3 ; but Mid land is / higher, at 106/ to 1. Some of tho foreign bonds, including Italian of 1861, Spanish of 1867, and Turkish of 186.1, show a fresh rise of / to per cent. FOUR O'CLOCK. The government funds are steady, at 941 to 1 for money, and 941 to 9.5 for the account. In the railway market the principal feature is a fall of 1 per cent. in Caledonian stock, viz., to 721 to 731.

About 26,0001. in bar gold has been sent into the Bank. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 70fr. 83e. for the account, being I per cent. better. About 30,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank on Saturday for Egypt. The steamer Ls Plats, from the West Indies, has brought 73,500/. in specie. _ The time has evidently arrived when it behoves the holders of foreign bonds to take measures to protect themselves against the new form of spolia tion lately inaugurated by Austria and Italy. According to the law which has passed the Aus trian Itei&srath a total deduction of 20 per mat. is to be made from the con pons of the debt, and though the law declare that that the amount of the tax shall never be increased in future, the same power which enacts this clause oan of course abrogate it. In Italy it is proposed, at the instance of the Committee of the Chamber, which overrides the scheme pro pounded by the Minister of Finance, to impose upon both the home and foreign fundholder an income-tax which will practically reduce the l per cent. interest borne by the national debt to 4f. The fear which, in view of these movements, bas from the outset been expressed by far-seeing persons that the example is lately to spread amongst such foreign states as have already accu mulated a large national debt, is confirmed by the 10-wmlllerald of the 3rd insta►t, in which a oor respondent of that paper boldly suggests that a 10 per cent. income-tax should be placed upon the coupons of the 40,000,000/. of Turkish 3 per cent. " General Debt." Were the charge imposed upon one portion of the debt, it would of course be easy afterwaids to extend it to all. The subjoined letter, relating to the Midland Railway Company, was posted on Saturday in the Stock Exchange, and contributed to cause a full of per cent. in the company's stock : Midland Railway, Secretary's Office, Derby, 12th June, 1868. . . Dear Sir,--I heg to inform you that the directors of this company have called a meeting of the proprietors to be held on the let prox., for the purpose of creating new abates under the provision of the Midland Medway (Additional Powers) Act, 1865. The directors, however, do not intend to recommend that the powers conferred upon the company to raise 5,000,00 W. shall at present be exercised to a greater extent than 2,000,00 W. I - shall feel much obliged by your making this known on the Louder' Stock Exchange.—l remain, yours very truly, J. W. Moons, Assistant Secretary. If. Slaughter, Esq., Stock Exchange, London. The report of the directors of the Colonial Com pany (Limited), to be presented at the third ordi nary general meeting, on the 18th inst., states that the company's operations for the year ending the 31st December, 1867, have resulted in a gross profit of 81,013/., and in a net profit of 43,0031. An interim dividend of 78. 6d. per share was de clared in July, 1867. and another dividend of like amount in January last, and the report says : The directors recommend that a farther dividend of 9s. per share be now declared, which will amount to 13,2831. its., leaving a balance of undivided profits of 22,881 f. 2a. The total dividend thus declared being 24a. per share, is equivalent to 8 per cent. per annum. The directors propose that the dividend for the year shall be free of income tax. A sum of 46,0881. has been received on forfeited shares, and chiefly from this source a reserve hind of 50,000 i. has born formed. The balance of un divided profits to be carried forward is 13,9691. A second dividend of 3s. in the pound is in mane of payment to the creditors of the General Ex change Bank, by Messrs. Cooper and W. W. rrwick, the liquidators. The half-yearly meeting of the Aerated Bread Company (Limited) is called for the 25th inst. The directors of the Imperial Life Office have declared a dividend of 1/. per share, payable on the 10th prox. . _ .

Ado , Too me., a letter carrier employed in the General Post-t , ffice, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a post letter containing a pair of gloves, an Australian half sovereign, and 19 penny ' , tempos the property of her Ma joedy Postmaster Omelet. Joint tierdner, senior clerk in the General Post-oftioe, deposed—ln consequence of frequent application for miss ing letters in the Hackney district, in which the prisoner is employed as auxiliary letter-currier, I made up a letter and pfaced in it a pair of gloves value Is. 6d., an Anetra lien half-sovereign, which I placed in the thumb of one of the glovea, and 12 penny postage stamp', all of which I walked. I addres-ed it to a lady at Bark ing, and posted it in the pillar-box at the corner of Amherst-road and Daleton-lane, at 11 o'clock in the eveniug. It was the prisoner's duty to clear the letter-box about 3 the next morning, and take the letters in a bag to the Eastern district-office in the Commercial-road. I proceeded to the Hackney sorting office, and asked the pri soner if he had collected the letters addressed to Barking. I said that a money letter wee missing. He replied that he knew nothing about it. I then directed the police-constable to search him. Ile found a pocket-book with three pieces of post ige stamps consisting of 18, 11, and 12 penny stamps , respectively, some gold and silver coins, alas o odd stamps. The prisoner stated that he had bought the Mamie a week ago. 1 examined the piece containing the 12 sterilise and identified them as the same that I had placed in the letter. I told the prisoner this, and he re plied that he had not taken the letter. I identified one of the half-sovereigns in his pocket an that which I had en cl.:iced iii the letter. The prisoner replied on my questioning him that lie had received an Australian half-sovereign from a man named Everett, who had given him several. Ccn robow ative evidence having been given by Bingham, the Past-efficfe constable, and Mr. Haynes, the inspector of letter-carriers, the prisoner, who still denied all know ledge of the letter, was committed for trial. Another letter-carrier, named Jficheed Feeoieet, em ployed in the Haverstock-hill and Hampstead dis tiet. was charged with steeling a letter contain ing 132 poqage-stamps. Mr. Peacock prosecuted. The te•t-letter " system was also applied in this case in con sequen. e of the numerous complaints 83 to missing letters in the district. The stamps were inserted in a letter after being privately marked, and the letter was addressed to a pen- ii nri.ting in the Maldon-road, and out of the pri sutler's district. It wits, however, sorted by the pri foner, who instead of handing it to the proper letter-eat rier, retained it in his possession. The marked stamps were found upon him, and the priso ner, is, his defence, stated that he repaired boots and shoes for seven,' of the families in his district, and they fre quently paid him in postage-stamp, which accounted for his pews.-ion of such a large number. He could not ex plain the ....incidence of their having Mr. Ganlneee private mark upon them. . • Cendinittetl for trial. MARLBOROUGH STREET. 11C/ROVOXIID AND COWILiDLT ASSAULTS.

This, the first of the University " trial matches," commenced to-day at Lord's Ground in the most bril liant weather, and in the presence of a good muster of old University men and connoisseurs. The play commenced at 12.17, Messrs. Dale and Savile being the batsmen, and Wootton and Grundy the bowlers. As usual at Lord's, both were on the spot, but the young Cantabs were quite equal to the occasion, and batted in the meet finished style. At the cud of half an hour only 18 were booked, which may be accepted us a good proof of the fine de fence of Messrs. Savile and Dale. The former's wicket was felled by the second hell of Wootton's sixteenth over, his contribution being 12. THREE e CLOCK. Wootton was in grand bowling form. He next howled Mr. Money's leg stump. Mr. H. A. Richardson came in, but even his fine defence, was not proof against Wootton's deadly onslaught, for with the score at 69, he sent his middle stump flying.
