MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. During the last few days there has been very little activity in the markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce, tea has remained dull at previous prices, while sugars have slightly declined owing to extensive arrivals. Coffee, rice, and fruit have con tinued without material change in values, while tallow, owing to recent large arrivals from Aus tralia, has been depressed, notwithstanding the advices from St. Petersburg reporting increased firmness in the market there. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 405., and for last three months' delivery, 465. 3d. per cwt. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday again presented a rather active appearance, and prices exhibited increased firmness. The sales were about 12,000 bales. A further withdrawal of £300,000 was effected at the Bank yesterday for transmission to Con stantinople on account of the Turkish Loan. The Ripon, which sails to-morrow with the East India China mail, will take out £162,785 in specie. The annual meeting of the South Australian Banking Company will take place on the 17th instant. The sum of £2,489 has been received on account of the New Granada Dividend Fund. There was a decrease of £lO,OOO in the traffic receipts of the Brighton Railway, and of £624 on the South Eastern for the past week. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK. The principal topic of conversation in commer tial circles to-day has been the capture of the English steamer Circassian by an American ship of War off Havana, bound from Bordeaux to that port, and loaded with wine, brandy, coffee, and provi- 19 ! 1310IIS, but having no contraband of war on board. I This event has naturally attracted considerable attention at Lloyd's, the Jerusalem, and other places resorted to by the shipping interest, and it is of course imagined that the Government will in quire into the affair, and take active measures in order that it may be equitably arranged. At the half-yearly meeting to-day of the Penin sular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, the directors' report was adopted. The following are extracts charters of the small vessels For mosa and Shanghai to the French Government in China having expired, and ships of this class not being suitable for the present operations of the com pany, advantage was taken of a local demand for small vessels, and the Shanghai has been sold at a fair price. The French Government still retains the Grenada in its service. The directors have received from the Postmaster-General the requi site notice of the intention of the Government to terminate the company's contract for the Penin sular Mail Service. This contract has been car ried on for some time subject to six months' notice from either party ; and, since the ex tension of communication with Gibraltar by means of the Mediterranean packets, the line has been made to terminate at Lisbon, while the sub sidy was so much reduced that the total abanchn ment of the service will be no disadvantage to the company. The Postal Service, in other respects, remains in the same state as at the date of the last report. Since the last annual meeting no other event of importance connected with the operations z2,f the company has occurred to call for observation on the part of the directors ; and, as the general business during that period has been satisfactory, they are enabled to recommend that the usual divi dend of 31 per cent. be now declared for the half- year ending 31st March last, and that payment of the same be made, clear of income-tax, on and after the 24th June. An unfavourable impression has been produced - upon the market for English Securities by the ad- Nices from America, which have induced sales rest:l;ing in a decline of nearly per cent., Consols being 32 921-, less the dividend, for money and the account. The New Threes and the Reduced are 91,1 ; Exchequer Bills, 10s. prem. ; India 5 pr..r Cent. Loan is firm at 107/ 8 ex div. ; and the New 21 per Cents. are 751 ex div. The demand for money, although slightly stimu lated by the preparations for to-morrow, the 4th of the month, is still too moderate to create activity in the general discount market, and the rates con tin lie to range per cent. under the minimum of the Bank of England. The Strand Hotel shares are quoted at i a prem. The ;loalings in the Foreign Market have been of a limited character, and prices show very little change. Turkish 6 per Cents are 811 ; ditto, 1858, Y 01; ditto, Scrip, is firm at 21 prem. ; Russian ditto at I I- prem. ; Egyptian 7 per Cents. are steady at 11 prem ; ltalian have improved to 71 ; and the Spanish Certificates are 91 1, being tolerably firm. In the Railway Share Market the operations have again been limited, and prices have in most instances exhibited a further downward movement. Great Westerns, Lancashire and Yorkshires, South Westerns, and South Easterns have receded 10s., Midlands 55., and Great Northerns and North Bri- tish 15s. Eastern Counties, however, have im proved ss. The Foreign and colonial undertakings were also ill limited demand. South Austrian and Lombardo- Venetian improved to 211 ; Sambre and Meuse de clined to 111 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, to 221 231 ; Great Indian Peninsula advanced to 1044 ; Bombay and 3aroda, to 104 ; and Madras 5 per Cents., to 102 k 1,931. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue flat, at about former rates.

These bankrups were described as of Upper Thames street, shipping merchants. The debts are stated by Messrs. Hart; Brothers and Hayles at £8,666, but the assets are unascertained. (Before Mr. Registrar Higgins.) IN BE ADDISON. This bankrupt was described as an underwriter at Lloyd's Coffeehouse, and this was a meeting for choice of assignees. The accounts, by Messrs. Johnstone, Cooper, and Wintle, Lothbury, shows—Dr., £7,159; assets, £3,600. Mr. Joseph Hart, Basinghall- street, accountant, was chosen assignee, and an allowance of £3 a week was allowed to the bankrupt, and Mr. Joseph Cooper, of the firm of Johnstone and Co., was appointed manager. POLICE---THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET, THIS DAY. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE 01 , ASSATJLT.—Geo. Tram mond, a respectable-looking young man, was charged with assaulting John Fisher, the conductor of one of Mr. Mere dith's omnibuses. The complainant said the defendant got on his 'bus, and after going a certain distance got down and tried to thrust himself inside, and he (the conductor) resisted. The 'bus then went on about 60 yards, and on his getting on hie standing-place the defendant came running up and seized the leg of his trousers and pulled them off—(laughter)— and at the same time the pocket of his coat, containing £1 ss. 6d. He then gave the defendant in charge. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, for the defendant—Do you mean to say your trousers came in two Y Complainant—They came off. (The complainant here exhibited the remains of the trousers, amidst much laugh ter.] Mr. Lewis—Did not the defendant complain of being ill ; and when you asked for another fare, on his getting down to go inside, did he not say that he would pay double fare P Complainant—We had a scuffle. Mr. Lewis—How was the blow on defendant's eye caused ? Complainant—lt was done with my hat rim. Mr. Lewis—Was not the defendant's wife inside, and did not the passengers say—" Let him in, he is ill" —and did he not also ask for your number ? The complainant generally answered the questions in the negative. Mr. Tyrwhitt, to complainant—You might have let him in, and the question of fare could have been settled after wards. _ _ A constable said the complainant said he had lest all his money, and after he got to the station with the defendant he observed two marks on the defendant's face. Mr. Lewis said his instructions put a very different com plexion on the case. It seemed that the defendant had been with his wife on a visit to his uncle, Mr. Moore, of Mount street, Grosvenor• square, and, being an invalid, he got outside the omnibus till there was room to get in. The omnibus went on a short distance, and a lady got out, and then the defendant got down and asked to be allowed to get in. This the conductor refused, not withstanding extra fare was offered, abused the defen dant, struck him in the eye, and then ran on. The defen dant then ran after the complainant, with the view of taking his number, and seized him by the leg of the trou sers, and they were torn. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the conductor had acted very wrongly in trying to get two fares from the defendant. He (Mr. Tyrwhitt) did not see why the defendant should not get inside, when there was room for him to so without being made to pay over again, the fares inside and out being alike. He had no doubt the conductor first tried to bully the defendant and then hit him, and he doubted very much about the loss of the money. The defendant, who appeared very unwell, was then discharged. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT A JEWELLER'B.--John Collier, a painter, of 5, Pawnbroker's lard, Queen-street, Birming ham, was charged before 4r. Tyrwhitt with stealing at No. 3, Coventry-street, on the 18th of April last, one opal and brilliant bracelet, one carbuncle and gold bracelet, three gold watches, and other articles of the value o f £65, the property of Mr. Benjamin Haseldine, jeweller. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap. peared for the prosecution, and inspector Silverton attended to watch the case It appears that on Good Friday last the prisoner, who was in the employ of Mr. Abbott, of John street, Golden square, was at work at Mr. Haseldine's, and by some means got into the shop and took away the property above stated, and absconded, leaving his tools behind him and a week's wages due to him. Nothing was seen of him, but, from information Butcher, 137 C, received, he went to Birming ham and took the prisoner into custody. On telling the prisoner the charge he replied, " You have got good information, but I know nothing about it." On again tell ing the prisoner the charge, he said—" I know where the information comes from, but I mean to know nothing about it." The prisoner was living with a deaf and dumb wo man.—Remanded. WESTMINSTER. THE ESHISITION—IMPUDENT ROBBERY. — John Malo ney, a middle-aged Irishman, was charged with the follow ing daring robbery near the Exhibition : Mr. G. French said—l live at Yarmouth, but am staying a few days in London. Yesterday afternoon I was by Prince Albert's-terrace, when the prisoner, who was com ing past, took my watch. _ _ Mr. Arnold—How did he take it P Prosecutor—He plucked it out of my pocket; he came right in front of me and did it. Mr. Arnold—How were you wearing it ? Prosecutor—ln my waistcoat pocket, with an Albert chain fastened through a button-hole. He plucked the watch with such force that he broke the chain. Mr. Arnold—What did you do ? Prosecutor—l caught hold of his hand, and tried to re cover my watch, which he would not willingly give me till a policeman came up. I called a policeman, and when he came up, I got my watch again. In taking my watch he broke the glass. Mr. Arnold—Was the prisoner sober ? Prosecutor—l should not think he was; he was the worse for liquor. Thomas Bishop, 325 X, said—At half-past 12 yesterday I was called to take the prisoner into custody. As I came up to him I saw the prosecutor take the watch from his hand. Prisoner was very drunk. MS. Arnold (to the accused)—Do you wish to say any thing! Prisoner—l went to Covent Garden and laid out 16s. Mr. Arnold—l want to know if you wish to say any thing ? Prisoner—The devil a word ; I'd the drop taken, and don't know anything about it. Mr. Arnold, to the prosecutor—Did the prisoner run up against you, or you against him ? was there any jostling, or were there any words before the prisoner took the watch? Prosecutor—There was no running against each other, nor words ; he came up tome deliberately and plucked the watch from my pocket. Mr. Arnold—l cannot take drunkenness as an excuse for such a robbery. Prisoner remanded. MARKETS---THIS DAY. HAY MARKETS.

The bustle and excitement that annually attend the ad vent of the great racing carnival at Epsom, from one end of the metropolis to the other, was, on the present oocasion, more manifest than ever. The Corner was most nume rously attended, the room and lawn being extensively pa tronised by the leading magnates of the turf. Its avenue from Grosvenor-place was all but impassable by the dense throng assembled to gather the latest intelligence and the final state of the odds. Speculation commenced early, but made but slow progress for some time. At length a little spirit was infused into the transactions by the avidity ex hibited to get on Neptunus and Argonaut; the former speedily rose 6 to 1, with plenty of backers, and he left off decidedly second favourite ; and the littter from 25 to 1, his opening price, to 12 to 1, taken to win some thousands. The Marquis was in great demand, but layers were ex tremely scarce, and at the close of the room we doubt if 3 to 1 could have been obtained. The hostility to Buckstone was again in force; half a point more than his opening price was repeatedly offered without meeting with a reply; at last 7 to 1 in hundreds was laid by a wellknown book maker, and offered at the close. 100 to 6 each was taken and offered about the Stockwell colt and Zetland, the latter apparently out of favour. Ensign was inquired for, and, after some fencing as to the price, 100 to 7 was noted down several times. 40 to 1 each was betted to smaller amounts against Caractacus, Malek, Lord Burleigh, and Notting ham. Several of the outside division were also mentioned, and backed, but more for hedging purposes than any chance they may possess; their names will be found in the sub joined list of the closing prices. The Oaks was but slightly noticed, the fillies mentioned being supported but for small sums.

There was no change in the position of the favourite, who still remains very firm ; neither was there any alteration in the quotation about Buckstone, but we saw no disposition evinced to lay more than 6to 1. Neptunus was in great force, 7to 1 being booked about him. Argonaut was freely supported at 20 to 1 ; and Spite, who on Saturday was at 40 to 1, had friends to-day at 33 to 1. All the money that could be obtained at 40 to 1 was taken about Malek. For the Woodcote Stakes, 3 to 1 each was taken about Lord Clifden and Saccharometer, but towards the close Lord Clifden was supported at 5 to 2, and finished at 2to 1, which was the highest offer.

(offered) Daily's Magazine for June contains an exquisite portrait of Lord Stamford, and in the memoir which accompanies it there is a lengthy exposition of his lordship's virtues and his prowess as a sportsman. The " Gentleman in Black" sketches the crack rides of the Pytchley Hunt with an ease and truthfulness quite equal to anything of Nimrod's in his best day. And John Davis contributes a spirited and scorching ballad on the scratching of Old Calabar for the Derby, which is certain to be appreciated by the friends of that great but truly unfortunate horse. GENERAL GARIBALDI AT COMO. General Garibaldi, on Thursday last, arrived at Varese, where he was received by the whole popu lation, who refused for several hours to leave him. From the balcony of the Hotel de Ville the illus trious General spoke as follows : " GOOD VARESINS.—In finding myself amongst you, I feel that I have come home again. You always receive me in the same way ; as well in good fortune as in bad. People always calm and dignified—alike n the day when Urban, the Austrian General, was driven from the city, and on the day he bombarded—for self-control is the privilege of the strong—l thank you from my heart for your affecting re ception of me. As in other parts of Lombardy deplorable incidents have created indecision in the mind of the Italians, lam compelled to say a few words on that head. In Italy there aro no castes ; the people, army, national guard, vo lunteers—all are brothers. Our enemies are at Rome and Venice, and no one can pretend to the monopoly of fighting the enemies of the common country. A letter from Como says : " The cry ' We want Rome and Venice' is in every one's mouth. ' Yes, yes,' replies the General ; ' and we will go to Rome and Venice at the first call from Victor Em manuel. In the meantime I urge you all to group your selves round him.' Ihese words are always received with much enthusiasm." SHIPPING-- - THIS DAY. (BY SUBMARINE AND MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.)

Thomas's Hospital and the So ath wark-bridge-road weret so ld by auction by Mr. Marsh, which are to be removed for the construction of the line to communicate with the branch line passing over the Water loo-road to the terminus at Hungerford-market. The pre mises sold were situated in York-street, Southwark, the Borough-market, Counter-street, and Park-street, the sale here comprising some almshouses. Considerable progress has taken place in the formation of the line on the site ad joining the hospitt,l: as also throughout the entire route, w hi c h passes over the new street between the Borough and the W es tminster -bridge-road, along which some hundreds of me n are at work in constructing the arches.

IMPERIAL PARLIAM HOUSE OF LORDS—YESTERDAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat meths woolsack at the ual hour. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Furness Railway, the Bolton and Blackburn Road, the Berwickshire Railway, and the Shrewsbury and Here ford Railway Bills were read a second time. THIRD READINGS. The London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway (en largement of stations), the Cromford and High Peak Rail way, and Bington. and Eardesley Railway bills were read a third time and passed. THE MERSEY, IRWELL, &c., PROTECTION BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Lord BINGSDOWN presented a petition complaining of the extensive pow ers and p enalties g ra nted by certain provisions in this measure. The noble lord thought the bill ought to be well considered before it was allowed to pass as a private measure. Lord REDESDALE said at first he had great doubts about this bill being allowed to proceed as a private bill, and he was of opinion that it came under the new order lately made. The powers complained of by the noble lord were necessary to protect the navigation of the river, as the select committee, after great consideration, approved of them, he thought the bill ought to be allowed to pass. Lord OVE RSTONE supported the prayer of the peti tion presented by the noble and learned lord. Lord CAMPERDOWN opposed the measure, and moved that the house go into committee that day six months. Lord CHELMSFORD hoped the bill would be allowed to go into committee. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY thought the house ought to hesitate before they granted such extensive powers as the bill conferred, and that it was desirable to postpone it for general legislation. The Earl of DERBY supported the motion for going into committee. Earl GREY said the bill differed in no essential particu- lar from the ordinary bills granted for the protection of harbours and rivers ; it only extended over a larger dis trict of country. The bill was then read a second time. FLOATING BREAKWATERS. The Duke of SOMERSET, in reply to a question from Lord CHELKSPORD, said that the sum proposed by the Select Committee on Breakwaters to be placed for experi mental purposes at the disposal of the Admiralty was utterly inadequate. Although impressed with the importance of affording protection to our merchant shipping by means of breakwaters, the Admiralty was not able at present to take any measures t.) carry out the recommendations of the Select Committee. Their lordships adjourned at 10 minutes past 7 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, and Fife and Kinross Railway Companies London and North-Western Railway and Chester and Holyhead Railway (Capital)— Metropolitan and Thames Valley Railway—Red House and Weeland Roads—Rotherham andWortleyßoad—Shard Bridge—Stockton and Darlington, South Durham and Lan cashire Union, &c., Railway Companies—Wellington, Drayton, and Newcastle Railway—and West Midland and Severn Valley Railways.

GREY said that ho had received no information as to the Governor-General of Canada having dismissed the Canadian Parliament without any authority from Govern ment. TRANSFER OF LAND BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. WALPOLE presented petitions from certain legal bodies in different parts of the United Kingdom praying against the bill in its present form, and that a mendments should be introduced for the purpose of giving effect to the recommendations of the commission of 1854. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in moving the second reading of this bill, referred to the advantages which had resulted in Ireland from the alteration which had taken place in the sale and transfer of land. The right hon. gentleman then described the present state of the law on this subject, and said that the object of this bill was to remedy the existing defects. It was proposed by the bill to afford additional facilities for the transfer of land, and to do away with those unnecessary restrictions which im:hoeictdehrtlthhteherayc sale and purchase of land in the country at present. ii; expres,ed his full appreciation of the labours should be offer of thecom missioners- of 1854, but he contended that Bor a , . e second reading of the bill, y though he dis were not calcu ß la N te s d s t a o id eff h e e ct sh th ou e poss iitrion H. Co contemplated. Athl seated from one or two of its principles. He referred to any op portions of the bill which would, in his opinion, require 1 large amendments, and observed that its working would very much depend upon the administrative hand to which I it was to be intru s t e d —namely, the solo authorit y to de id dy, th e only chance c registrar, who was to of e h w e t h presenting r h e t was o to the e o adjudicate untry a or not. The measure of thi s kind that would work well was to appoint a person to work it whose weight would command the con fidence of landholders. He trusted that the Government would allow this bill, part of which was in direct anta gonism to the report of a royal commission, to be referred to a select committee. After some remarks by Mr. SCULLY, Sir F. KELLY sa id h e di d not oppose t h e secon d read ing of the bill, but it must undergo the consideration of a select committee or a deliberate and searching examination by a committee of the whole house. The machinery of the bill was, in his opinion, radically defective and imperfect. The bill, however, could be so modified and improved as to confer a great benefit upon the country. Ile thought that part of the bill which was in fact a system of registration of assurances was an encumbrance. Mr. MALINS said unless such a measure was oompul sory, not optional, it never would work. Ho believed that, if the bill passed in its present form, it would be a dead letter. He did not, however, oppose the progress of the bill; but he put it to the house whether great expense should be incurred for the sake of a theory that could have no practical re,ult. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed that, the evils being admitted , the q uestion wa s wh ether the plan proposch ed was likely to remedy them, and the g round upon whi this measure was introduced was that, though not in every P articular perfect, it was as well-davised a remedy as, under existing circumstances, persons opapetent skill as , gm. ' • perience could suggest. He replied to the specific objections urged by Mr. Molina, Sir H. Cairns, and Sir F. Kelly. Ha was not deterred, he said, from supporting the bill becausa it contained what lawyers called a registration of assurances, against which he had heard no real objection, except that the landholders of England would not submit to it. But he contended that such a so-called registration of assuran ces had been submitted to by them. Mr. ROLT did not oppose the second reading of the bill, but he strongly recommended that it should be referred to a select committee. The bill differed widely from the report of the royal commission, and the objections could not be discussed with so much advantage in a committee of the whole house as in a select committee. Sir F. GOLDSMID drew attention to certain points in the proposed plan which, he thought, required consideration. Mr. DUNLOP made a few observations, and the bill was read a second time. Mr. ROLT, in moving the second reading of the Decla ration of Title Bill (likewise received from the Lords), explained the object of the measure and its main provisions. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL made a few remarks upon the bill, the second reading of whizih he did not oppose; and, after a very short discussion, it was read a second time. Mr. ROLT then moved that the Security of Purchasers Bill (also sent from the other house) be read a second time, explaining, as in the former case, its object and provisions. This bill, after some observations by the SOLICITOR GENERAL, was read a second time. The SO LICITOR -GENERAL moved the second reading of the Real Property (Titles of Purchasers) Bill— another measure received from the Lords—which, after a short explanation from himself and a remark by Sir H . CAIRNS, was read a second time. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved the second read ing of the Assurances Registration (Ireland) Bill. He stated what had been the legislation upon this subject up to the present time ; the existing state of the registration ; the evils which the bill proposed to remedy (including the heavy arrears), and the remedies themselves. The bill, he said, had been very carefully prepared by the law advisers of the Crown in Ireland, and he believed it would be found a very useful measure. Mr. HASSARD objected to various matters of detail is the bill, and urged the Government to refer it to a select committee. A discussion of some length ensued with reference chiefly to the question whether the bill should go before a select committee. Mr. HENNESSY moved to defor the second reading for three months. This amendment was seconded by Mr. OSBORNE, who said he lookel with some suspicion at the bill, which w as , in his opinion, peculiarly fitted for a select committee. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL consented to refer the bill to a select committee, and the amendment being there. upon withdrawn, the bill was read a second time, and ordered to be referred to a select committee. On the order for the third reading of the Highways Bill, Mr. BARROW renewed his opposition to the bill, and moved to defer the third reading for three months. Mr. FREELAND entered his emphatio and deliberate protest against a bill which ran counter to the principle that taxation and representation should go together. Mr. H. BRUCE supported the bill from his experience of the working of the Welsh Act. After some remarks by Sir B. LIAIGHTON, Sir G. GREY briefly replied to the objections sug by Mr. Barrow. Mr. THOMPSON and Mr. G. HARDY spoke in favour of the bill, which was opposed by Mr. NEIIIDEGATE. Upon a division, the amendment was negatived by 162 to 31, and the bill was read a third time and passed. On the report upon the Merchant Shipping Acts, &0., Amendment Bill, is i o clauses were added, when the debate was adjourned. The Jurisdiction in Homicides Bill, the Rifle Volunteer Grounds Act Amendment Bill, and the Sandhurst Vesting Bill passed the committee.

Saturday was the closin g day of this exhibition, and it maintained its many points of interest pre viously noted. Up to six o'clock the attendance carriages s e tti ng was of a mor e ar i stocratic character than on any precedin g d ay as prov e d b y t h e l arge num b er of down the v i s it ors . Aft er th a t t i me thearrta company b egan to disperse, when scenes of a laughabl e character took place by the owners wish ing to take away their animals. The committee were pestered for permission, which they did as faras they could ; and before eight o'clock the show had been deprived of many of the celebrities, and visitors arriving late were much disappointed at seeing sa many of the cages empty. It was announced in I Bell's Life that most of the prize dogs would be ex ' bited at the various sporting houses, so, " with leave ur without leave," they would have them away. The " bow-wows," from having been confined for a week, on being let loose, scampered among the throng, to the terror of some, and no small amuse ment of many. It would have been an improvemen t had the cages been better arranged in regar d to classification, and we throw out the hint to be a c ted upon at the show to take place at Islington ; . 1 . le entered, to have the cata:ogues ready before the op enin g ' and as more than a thousand awardsjustice can the judges to make their the day of opening, as proper justice the before first morn not be done in going round on of the Holborn ing, as was proved i n the case the first show of affair.
