The funds to-day are again fiat, owing to a con tinuance of political uneaaineso. Prices present a fresh reduction of 1 per cent. The share markets generally show heaviness, but the reduction in prices is not of much importance. There appears to be a general indisposition to enter into speculative transactions until the political horizon becomes clearer. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 70fr. 70c., showing a reduction of 1 per cent. since than yesterday. Consols are officially marked 94, 1, and 96 for money, and 94 for the Account. The presentqno tationsare96l to} for cash, an4l96i " sellers,"for the 6th of June. The official business report is as tones's:— Bank Stock, Z 274 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 931, ; New Three per Cents., 934, I, ; Thirtx Years Annuities expiring in Jan. 1880, 131 ; ditto in April, 1886, 17 7-16 ; Indian Five per Cent. Stock, 1859, 1061; Five-and-a-Half per Cent. " eufaced" rupee paper, 1041 ; India Bonds, dis. ; and Exchequer Bills, Bs., 80, prem. The foreign stock market is likewise rather fiat in character, but there is little change in prices. Turkish stocks are quoted the same as yesterday aftemion—the loan of 1854 at 764 to I, and that of 1868 at 601 to 611. Sales are recorded as follows: Buenos Ayres Deferred, ; Dutch Four per Cent. Certi ficates, 101 ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1863, for account, 431 ; Russian Three per Cents., 1868, 461, ex div. ; Sanlinian Five per Cents., for account, 86} ; Spanish New Deferred, Three per Cents., for account, 374 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1864, for account, 781 ; ditto Six per Cents., 1868, for account, 611, 801 ; Venezuela Three per Cents. for account, 261. The shares of the new London and South African Bank are quoted 4 to prem., and the second preference debentures of the Grand Trask Railway el Canada, Ito 2 prem. The new Victoria Deben tures; are slightly flatter, at 104 to 1071. The step taken yestenlay by the Bank had been fully anticipated, the terms in the open market being already to 1 per cent. below those of the Bank, and 406,0001. in newly-imported gold haring been sent into that establishment since the date of the last return. On the 12th ult., when the Bank rate was railed from to 5, the reserve of notes and coin was reduced (partly in consequence of the large withdrawal of notes by Messrs'. Overend, Gurney, and Co.) to 5,044,8471., and the coin and bullion to 14,637,1021. The return last published has stated the respective totals at 7,131,2311. and 14,883,3111. The Directors of the Bank of England possess an advantage over the public in having another week's return before them, the character of which is doubtless favourable. The joint stock bank* have uinouuced a propor tionate reduction in the rates allowed for deposits. They now give al per cent., being 1 per cent, below the Bank of England minimum rate of discount. At the London and Westminster Bank, however, only 2} is allowed for sums below 5001. The discount establishments have reduced the rate for money at call from 4to per cent., and for money, at a few days' notice, from 4i to 4 per cent. At Paris the rate of discount is now 3 per cent. (bank rate 3k); Vienna, 5 ; Berlin, 34 ; Frankfort, 2 (hank, 3); Amsterdam, 3 ; Hamburg, 2 1; and , Brussels, 3 per cent. The bullion operations at the Bank ycetenlay were I trifling. The recent arrivals of gold from Australia are now nearly exhausted, and there is only 38,0001. tine front Melbourne. The shipments of specie for Bombay by the Indus, which will leave to-morrow, amount to only 41080/., of which 32,7801. is silver and 8,3001. gold. The Calcutta and China mails yid Marseilles are expected to be distributed in London to-morrow morning. Private telegrams from Marseilles, in anticipa tion of these mails, announce • "panic" at Shanghai, where trade was " suspended," the rebels having reached the silk districts. The ex changeon Loudon had risen to as. 70., showing an alteration to the extent of about 3 percent. against England. The exports of tea are dated at 70,099,000 lbs., and those of silk at 56,000 bales. The stocks of produce were small, and prices higher. One telegram quotes the exchange at Houg Doug at 4s. 9d., showing little alteration ; whilst another reports a rise to 4s. 90., • difference of about 11, per cent, The effect of this news will probably be to in crease the demand for silver for China. Holders of silk, anticipating an advance in prices, have withdrawn their stocks from the market, and now await the delivery of the letters. The tea market was also excited, and a large portion of the quan tity declared for the public sales has been with drawn. At the indigo sales yesterday rather more auntie. thin was shown, and the desirable sorts of Bengal realised somewhat improved prices. The apparent desire of government to evade giving an explicit answer to the remonstrances re *tooting the infliction of double income tax upon the holders of Indian native paper excites great dissatisfaction. It is hoped that a fresh attempt will be made without delay by some independent commercial member to obtain au explanation in parliament. An intelligible answer to • plain tpeastion can surely be given by the Indian Secre tary. The interests affected are large, and the in justice inflicted by the present position of the matter is keenly felt. A meeting was held yesterday of the Louth m credi tors of Menem. A. Wilson, Nephew, and Co., who stopped payment at Melbourne on the 12th of March, upon the receipt of news of the suspension of Messrs. E. J. Wheeler and Co., their core spondenta in Loudon. After some discussion, it was agreel to metal a power .4 attorney to Australia by the next mail, in order to allow the interests of the croditors here to be representod in the colony. The claims of the English creditor', as far as could Is. ascertained at the meeting by Mr. Ball, the ac countant, amount to 10,7761. The Eastern Counties Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of 392/. ; the Mau cheater, Sheffield, anti Lincolnshire, an increase of 1,5611. ; the North Eastern, an increase of 5,6501. ; the Lamashin. and Yorkshire, an increase of 4,4101. ; awl the Mellaisl, an increase of 7,1361. It is offi cially intatuabil that the last-mentioned company's ' , stunts do not include the London cartage receipts, which an to alsont 3,000/. per week. Another large marine insurance association is about to be launched. It has secured influential support at Manchesterand Liverpool. Nutiee is given of the final closing t 4 the transfer hocks .4 the. Geelong and Melbourne Railway COlll- pa re lsy, preparatory to the redemption of the shares b y t h e Ir . ver 1111 l rut of Victoria, "du e notice of Which will 63 given." At the first half-yearly meeting of shareholders of the London Flour Goupany (limited), bell on the sth instant, a dividend at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum was declared. The annual 'nettling of shareholders in the Am sterdam Hill Water Contjany is convened fur the 22nd Met at Amsterdam.

Consols ' which closed yesterday at 961 " sellers," for the tith of June, opened this morning at 94, declined to 96J " milers," and closed at 94 EXPRESS, FRIDAI EVENING, " buyers." For money the lest pries was 954 to I. The official badness report is as follows : Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 95k, ; ditto for amount (June 8), 95i, ; Three per Cents.

Turkish stocks opened with considerable depres sion, the Loan of 1854 being marked 75}, and that of 1858 as low as 601.

At half-past 12 o'clock from 300 to 350 men mustered, and, each company having been proved, formed four deep and marched over Blackfriars-bridge to the Waterloo station. At Mortlake station the band of Geo Richmond Volunteer Rifles wan stationed to receive them. The several companies were then formed, and marched four deep to the butt on Sheen-common, where, after the words of command, " Stand at ease, stand easy," had been given, each gentleman produced such slight refresh ment as he bail been able to stow away in his cartriihre pouch, and made the beet use possible of the ten minutes then allowed. The " ball hag" in many cases turned out excellent tobacco, and short piper were rather in fashion. The several companies were again formed, and marched four deep to Richmond Park, where, notwithstanding the threatening aspect of the weather a good many ladies and gentlemen, on horseback, on foot, and in carriages, were 'assembled to witness the review. THE IMPERIAL PRIM E.—The Moilteur publishes the following :-.-The Prince Imperial having manifested a wish to see the Enfans de Troupe of the Imperial Guard, the Emperor allowed those belonging to the regiments now in Paris to be brought to the Tuileries. About 5 o'clock yes terday afternoon nearly 150 boys were marched to the where Marshal Regnaud de Saint Jean d'Angily, Zlenersl Mellinet, auil the mamas of the Ist division of in fantry of the Guard had also assembled. The Prince Im perial placed himself in the ranks, and the whole of the troop filed off before the Emperor and the Empress. Im mediately after, the boys went into the Gsierie de Maxie, where a inflation had been prepared. The Prince Imperial, who was seated in the midst of them, was the object of a real ovation on their park and in reply to it he cried out, Vive l'Arnike !—Viva les Enfans de Troupe. This toast which was not expected from a child of his age, gave great pleasure to all present. Their Majesties presided at this improvised Ptr, and cordially enjoyed the happiness which the young prince end his comrades apneared to feel," A PATRIOT TONED DOWN.—Mrs. Moppon had been presented at court with all becoming spleud..ur of diamonds and feathers, but she had never received au invitation to • court balL One was duly for warded, and on the very evening of the day when that invitation had been received at Juniper Hall, Clapham Rise, • speech which Mr. Moppen had angina ly set in live sharps, and which was intended by that gentleman as • root and branch attack upon the government for their profligate expenditure of public money on milie Lary preparations, was toned down to live fiats. Mr. Moppen, on leaving home, hail informed his an. sort that the blandishmenta of • luxurious court were entirely thrown away upon him, and that rather than betray his country, he was prepared to the in his place in the Home of Commons : but all I know is, that his .peach did give great satisfaction to the Treasury Bench.—Onre a Week.

The Loan CZASOICLI.OI took hio not is the woo/sock it 5 o'clock. - - - THE FINANCES OF INDIA. The Marquis of CLANBICARDE Naked if government would consent to lay on the table of the house a minute of the Governor of Madras respecting the finances of India. It had been promi.el to the other house, and there could be no reason why it should not be presented to this house, am it had been published to all the world. The Duke k,f ARGYLL said when it was presented to the other hou.,e of parliament it would be presented to this house. Lord MONTEAGLE complained that the Indian Depart ment had neglected to furnish certain accounts which they were required by law to do, and intimated that if they were not produced be must take more serious notice of the neglect THE PAPER DUTY BILL This bill was brought up ancirii:da first Lime. Lord MONTEAOLE gave notice that, on the motain that the bill be read a second time, he should move that it be read a second time that day six months. (Opposition cheers.) The Earl of WICKLOW mid he hoped the ministers would fix some later day than usual for the second reading of this bill. He should be exceedingly sorry to see the example set by that house of rejecting a bill of this nature coming from the other house of parliament. He knew that the rule, the wise rule of that house was to avoid such a proceeding ; but there were exceptions to all rules, and he must say, unites a fair opportunity were given, unless time were given, beforethey proceeded to the consider ation of this bill, it would, under the peculiar circumstances, be the bounden duty of that house to reject the bill. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT 4 BILL. This bill was read a second time. PETITIONS OF RIGHT BILL. This bill was read a seccad tame. OFFENCES AGAINST THE'PERSON BILL. After • few words from Lord Wensleydale, Lord Portman, the Lord Chancellor, and other peen, the house went into committee upon the above bill, the clauses of which were formallr agreed to. The 'following bills then passed through committee — Offences splint the Person Bill ; larceny, Sic., Bill ; Forgery Bill ; Malicious Injuries to Property Bill ; Coinage Offences Bill; Accessories and Abettors Bill ; Criminal Statutes Repeal Bill. The Exchequer Bills (13,230,000/4 BM wa• read a sceond time. CUSTOMS BILL. Earl GRANVILLE, in moving the second reading of this bill, which had been adopted by the House of Commons, entered into an explanation of its provisions, the object of which he said was to simplify the tariff and to give greater facilities to trade ; but the noble lord spoke in so low a tone of voice that he was scarcely audible in the pl. lery. On ordinary occasions he said it was neoemary in proposing the second reading of such a bill to state all the arguments in its favour ; but most of those arguments were connected with the general question of the French treaty, upon which a debate had already taken place in that house, and he would not, therefore, reopen the discussion unless it were necessary or required by their lordships. He should, however, be happy to give any explanation with re to the bill. The Earl of DERBY—My lords, I will offer no opposi tion to the proposal which the noble earl lea just made upon the part of her Majesty's government, and if I abstain at this time from discus ing the policy of the government upon this subject, we do not thereby intend to signify an acquiescence in, much leas an approval of, the course they have pursued in regard to the treaty with France. (Heir, hear.) When the treaty was first an nounced, we on this side of the house stated the objections we entertained to the terms of it so far as they were then known. We entertained those objections as strongly when we were better acquainted with the details, and every day that passes strengthens my conviction that her Ma jesty's government, in making use of very irexperienoed agents, in departing from the ordinary course of diplomacy, end in entering into the consideration of this subject with very inadequate means of information, have unfortunately placed the country in a very serious difficulty by having en tered into a very disadvaatageous treaty. And at the present moment as regards the advantages supposed to he derived from it, we are absolutely and entirely at the mercy of the French government, and from the aceounts we hoar I am certainly not disposed to believe that the French govern ment will use with very great moderation the power which has been most unwisely eutrusted to them. (Hear, bear.) At the same time I agree with the noble earl that the occa sions must be very rare indeed when your lordships rosy feel it your incumbent duty is reject • proposition con nected with the finances and commerce of the country which has been made on the responsibility of the govern ment and has received the sanction of the House of Com mons ; and of comae these considerations weigh with much greater force when it is not only a question as between the House of Commons and the country, but a question also which involves the negotiations with a foreign power and the maintenance of • treaty by which, however much we may disapprove of 1., we are in point of fact bound. B eral ut, as your lonlships are aware, the bill comprises sear different subjects, and if we object to any one of its pro visions it is not possible for us, consistently with the pri vileges of the House of Commons, to eliminate that one and nand back the bill so amended to the other house. We have no choice but its acceptance as a whole or its absolute rejection, which would disturb the whole financial arrange ments of the government, and also interfere with these commercial arrangements which have been entered into on the full understanding that the system adopted by the House of Commons would be carried out I therefore think that, while on the one hand it would be very unwise to take on myself the responsibility of asking your lordships to reject the proposal, I cannot, on the other, avoid saying, that in my belief the arrangements made, including the treaty, are of the most improvident and most dangerous character —(bear, hear)—and that the financial condition of the country, not only in the present year, but still more in the next year, is a matter of the deepest anxiety to the mind of every man who has seriously turned his attention to the subject. (Hear, hear.) Undoubtedly these are pro calcubged to aggravate that difficulty, for taking off Sn s t i i i et , which, on a fitting occasion, might be very ... Ai:l Wild wisely reduced, but ought not to be in the present condition of the country. Nevertheless, we are hound to sanction the present bill. We are compelled to adopt prepositions for reduction, in the already too small revenue of the country. There is, however, another ques tion with which the terms of the treaty do not in the slightest degree interfere, and with regard to whiclf no ne ' gotiations or commercial arrangements have as yet been made, but in respect of which her Majesty's government are calling upon this country to make • wholly useless and dangerous sacrifice of the permanent revenue to the amount of 1,5013,0001. (Hear, hear.) I need not say that I allude Ito the bill for the abolition of the paper duties. (Hear, hear.) My noble friend who site on the one. benches (Lord Monteagle) has given entice of his intention to enrolee the second reading of that bill ; end I feel that so far from embarrassing the government, or interfering with any of their other arrangements, or in the slightest degree prejudicing the financial or other buainess of the country, the rejection of that bill will tend inateridly to improve their whole 'scheme. The noble earl knows that no exertion will be wanting on my part to obtain thrive jection of that bill, and thereby to Pave to the government a very large portion of revenue. I cannot help thinking that the noble sari has confounded two matters which are entirely distinct. He speaks of the reductions made in the tariff being • reliefs to the consumer to a certain amount, and says that the consequent loss to the revenue had been considerably lessened by the inernmed consumption, but wheu he &attunes there has been a relief to the consumer he is not entitled to take as that relief the whole amount of the duty taken off, because he will find that upon several of those matters upon which the duty has been taken off, the consumer is obtaining no relief whatever. The price of the articles upon which the duty has been removed Isis been kept up, if not increased, and I cannot therefore admit that the relief to the consumer is equivalent to the amount of the reduction of duty, I will not enter further at present into the subject of the omit ' mercial and financial arrangements of the government, er of their policy. Your lordships will recollect that before Easter it was stated by the noble earl that he thought it would be convenient that the whole of those finalicial arrangements should be brought under your lordships' dis cussion, and I think the most fitting 0C4M.41011 for that pur pose will be when you are dealing with that important item of a million and • half, which is involved iu the abolition of the paper duty. (Hear, hear.) The till was then read • second time. LUNATIC ASYLUM IN DONE(AL. A discusaiou upon the proposcd lunatic asylum for the county of Donegal, brought forward by Lord LIFFoRD. gave occasion to Lord LEITRIM - for an at upon the govern ment of Ireland and for a fierce philippic upon the Lord Lieutenant, who was not present. Lord EGLINTt iN briefly defended the Lord Lieutenant from the charges brought againgt him. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter-put 7 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THUBSDAT, MAY 10.
