For dowinight work them never was a sipiatlron in liner trOn or better spirits. Show and parade have been less attended to loy the counuander in•ehiefthan the getting up of a good moode among the men, autd in this he lists perfectly succeeded. Small as the squadron is, every particle of it is in excellent condi• don, ready and eager for anything. The voyage to Ilesika Bay was pmsecuted with the greatest energy, the latter part. having been peiforined by the Nteallit'll4 taking the liners in tow, a sight which was as striking as it is novel. Sir .1. tirahain will discontinue holding levees after to• day, July 9. A large concourse of visitors arrived at Portsmouth no Thursday, expecting to witness a review of the tleet by her Majesty. A 11110111leelnel had been mado to that effect, but were afterwards contriulieted ; notwithstanding which excursionists flocked in by thousands, of course to go away disappointed.

Riontrt itlarhtt anb t;itg nttilignm end of 1852, was 4,691,000 or., equal to nearly 20,000,000 sterling, since which the products have averaged about 1,000,000 sterling per month. Consequent on this the exports to Victoria alone have increased from 1,056,000/. to 4,044,0010., and the revenue of that colony from 3e0,0001. to L 577,010. This will account for our present commercial pros perity : and, when we think that California is equally productive of the previous metals, we need not look for any other cause than this great addition to the metallic circuital of the world. to seeme d f or t h e , treat increase of trade, and consequent demand fur l a b o ur. and increased eonsumptioe revenue. surplus revenue applicable to the redemption of debt for the present quarter amounts to 1115,1831. 11 e l ime expressed ail opinion in a former ilaMbfir that it would be ski-. in Mr. Gladstone to apply this surplus to the reduction of the deficiency bills, rather than to purchase of Consols. We do not see why a portion of the thwernment balances, which, it is clear from the large amount of the Hank reserve, remain unemployed, should not be applied to the holding of Exeliequer Billy. Sup posing, for instance, that the average balance of t Ito eminent was 5,000,000, why could not 2,500,00 U of Exchequer Bills he rvshiemed. or rather held by the Government at the time of their renewal In ease of the money being required, they could trout time to time be disposed of ; but, generally speaking, 50,00/. per annum might be saved in the shape of interest by this operation. Money is very abundant ; the rate of discount re maining per cent. per annum. Consols close this afternoon, to 1. The telegraph brings a slight improvement in French funds and shares, and the position of markets generally indicates great firmness. FOREION FUNDS. One of the most remarkable indications of the belief that peace will be maintained is the high Klee of Russian stock, which is 117 for the Five per Cents., and Inn to 101 for the Four and a Half per Cents., with a good market. If anything like a war br►ke out, Russian finance would soon be reduced to a deplorable condition, and such prices as above quoted could not be maintained. Mexican Bonds have remained steady at •27 during the week. We presume a meeting of the bond holders will shortly be called, when the question of whether these affairs will be conducted by the com mittee, or handed over to Messrs. Baring, will, in all probability, be discussed and &sided. The manner in which they have of late been conducted is ex tremely unsatisfactory. Foreign bonds have, generally speaking, been heavy, and the transactions very limited. RAI LW AY S. The traffic returns for the week are again most sa tisfactory, and, with the exeeption of the Brighten show a steady increase. The approaching half yearly accounts ought to be satisfactory, but it will be seen how much of the surplus receipts have been ab sorbed by the increase in wages and in all materials consumed by railways. The fluctuations in shares during the week have been inconsiderable, and guided entirely by the state of the Consol Market. Ilelow will be found the closing quotations. PRICES CURRENT. THE chief event of the week has been the field mid pon toon movements ut Virginia-water, which, after many postponements, took place on Tuesday. A tine day, amid the presence of her Majesty, gave much brilliance to the scene of operations. These commenced with the march to Virgieilewater, where the brigades of lienerals Evans and Vane took up a position near the Black hest-bridge, with detachments in the park near the spot at which the pon toon bridge was to he thrown over. The enemy. as usual, consisted of a detachment of the 3rd battalion of Grenadier Guards and a company of Sappers and Miners, occupying a position in the grounds near the fishing temple. The object of the movements was to cross the water in the face of the enemy. and to obtain possession of the ground on the opposite side of the lake. The movements began by a bigned attack on the ex treme left, for the purpose of drawing the enemy away, while the pontoon bridge was in course of construction. At eleven, the brigade of General Evans, supported by a field battery, commenced their attack on Black Nest-bridge, which continued for nearly three-quarters of an hour. While the attention of the enemy was thus diverted, some 'lndia rafts, fiomed of indiarubber pontoons, were con structed, which conveyed over to the other side four cone Panics of the Rifle Corps, who occupied a concealed posi tion among the trees till their services were required. The materials for the large pontoons were afterwards brought in waggons to the water's edge, and in something short of twenty minutes the entire bridge was constructed, a nd the passage commenced, the Rides going first, and throwing out their clouds of skirmishers as soon as they re-ached the further bank. The Guards crossed next, Jewelling six abreast, and carefully breaking step as they went over. Next came the artillery, an interval of three horses' length being allowed between gun and gun. Lastly came the Carabineers, who passed over in single hies, under a h e avy di sc h arge of winery. The spectacle ot the coups crossing %vas one of considerable into-rest and b. auty. It was watched kith much attention by the FRIDA V PM:NINO. THR funds have fluctuated considerably during the. week. As we anticipated, the passage of the Prints by the 'Russians did not cause any tall, but, on the contrary, so great was the demand on the part of the public for stock, that the funds rose from 911 to es I, but, in consequence of rumours of a division in the Cabinet, Consols suddenly fell from Wi t to 971, from which price, on its being understood that the Minis terial crisis had been temporarily averted, the market, which itself is remarkably firm, has recovered. IVe stated in a former article, that so long a. 4 England and France remained united, there would be no danger of any considerable fall in the funds; but that anything like a want of concert between the two Governments would be attended with very serious consequences to the Money Market. As to the actual state of the Money Market, nothing can be more satisfactory ; and we may affirm that the commerce of both France and England, although the commercial systems of the two countries are diame trically opposed, was never in a more flourishing condition, a fact which ought to convince all who are not wilfully blind that it is to the increase of the precious metals, and not to any particular com mercial policy, that the general prosperity is owing; otherwise, how is it that France and England, with diametrically opposed systems, should equally flourish No! the secret may be demonstrated by pointing to such facts as these.
