His lordship was met at the entrance of the church by Lieutenant Colonel Williams and the committee ; and, after performance of the usual service, he preached a very eloquent sermon from the teat, 2 These., chap. iii., ver. I, " Finally, brethren, pray for us that the Word of the Lord may have free course, and be : glorified, even as it is with you." lie referred with pride and pleasure to the circumstances of the day, to the readi ness with !which Geneva had assisted his countrymen in the times of the Marian persecution, when Calvin, in had proposed that a new church should be given them, wherein to preach the gospel, " because," to use the words of the old archives, " the English had formerly received otlw nations, and given them churches ; but it has new plow God to afflict them." And his lordship cent' Lotted the ►silent position of the English congregat' with that Of t teir ancestors, although each were received with the eons spirit of cordial we come at Geneva. The ehureli 11114 much thronged, as well by English residents and vis it / Sell as by many of the most distinguished inhabitants of Geneva and its vicinity, and deputations attended ftom the Governments of the canton, of the city of Geneva, and in large numbers from the Conuiatoire and Venerable Compagnie des Pasteurs of the Nutioual Church.

SATURDAY, Voitg Vadat a 0 Citg nttU tact. FRIDAY EnNING. THE funds have continued their downward move ment during the week, and Consols have been sold at Hi, and close this afternoon 961 i for money, anti 96 7 for October account. The fall may be attributed to a variety of causes— the unsettled state of the Turkish question, the con tinued drain of gold from the coffers of the Bank, the consequent continued demand for money, the apprehensions as to the harvest in England and France; and lastly, the dilemma of Mr. Gladstone as regards his conversion schemes, and the state of the Exchequer Bill Market. All theso material points are, to say the least of them, involved in eonsiderable uncertainty ; and, in a eolinnercial country like England, there is nothing which creates greater uneasiness than uncertainty. So difficult is it to arrive at any eorrect conelu -I:ions as to the future of the 3loney Market, that we will place before our readers the n►ost correct data we can collect. As regards the harvest we are happy to state that it is most abundant in Ireland ; and, although in England the wheat harvest is decidedly deficient, the crops of oats, barley, and turnips are so abundant, that, taken as a whole, we believe there is an average yield. The latest adviees represent the harvest as ►aagni ficent in Canada and the United States. The fact, also, of an arrival of 250,000 quarters of various kinds of grain during the week would tend to prove that the present high prices are bringing sup plies from quarters that were not calculated on. But as regards our Money Market, which is en tirely regulated by the amount of gold in the coffers of the Bank, it is most difficult to arrive at any con clusion. During the present week gold has been ex ported to Russia in payment for grain, and also to Hamburg. in exchange for silver, which continues in demand for China and India. The rise in the rate of discount will have a tendency to check the enormous shipments to Australia, and indeed to other parts of the world ; and it will also have the effect, by limiting credit, of causing our capital em ployed in distant countries to be called in. It is also well known that Australia must be largely in debted to England ; but, notwithstanding this, it has been computed by competent authorities that no less than 12 millions of sovereigns have been shipped or taken by emigrants to that country. Now, there can be but little doubt that as the ex change in Australia has run from N dis. to prem., and is likely to rise still higher, we shall receive a large quantity of these sovereigns back, in addition to the produce of the mines ; and if so, this will counterbalance any exports of gold to the Continent, either arising from the balance of our European trade being against us, or sent in payment of corn. If, therefore, peace is preserved, we are inclined to think that the pressure on our resources has pretty well reached its maximum ; for the Australian ar rivals may be calculated on towards the close of the year. The rise in the rate of money, and the im pediments that will he thrown in the way or obtaining it for so distant a trade, will also tend to lower the prices of commodities, which have of late received so remarkable a stimulus. We now come to Mr. t7iladstone's financial dilem ma, which weighs heavily on the market, because the stock in which he gives the parties the option to convert has been sold in the market below par ; and, if it goes lower. the parties will naturally demand money rather than stock. This has given rise to a rumour that the Chancellor of the Exche quer, with a view to provide funds for the dissen tients, and also to support his Exchequer Bill Mar ket, has ;wen selling Three per Cent Reduced, and Consols belonging to savings banks, in the market, and purchasing Exchequer Bills. We cannot be lieve the rumour; although it is certain that Ex chequer Bills could not be maintained at .4 dis. to par, with money worth 4 per cent., unless from some un natural support. We can believe that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer may'employ the funds of the UrfiugsAbanki is web's* Exchequer Bills-•ore i
