MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for money does not show any increase and the rates remain without alteration. The withdrawal of 700,000 sovereigns from the Bank of England was effected yesterday—the largest amount ever taken out in one day ; but the event has failed to produce any material effect upon the quotations. The return to appear to-morrow after noon will exhibit some important movements, and it will not create surprise if the directors should find it expedient to increase their terms at an early date. The 700,000 sovereigns sent away from the Bank of England yesterday were on account of the Turkish Loan, and will be transmitted at once to Con stantinople. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited very little alteration ; the rate on Hamburg was rather lower. Gold is now about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in 'Paris, and 2-10ths per cent. higher here than in Hamburg. The Copenhagen, from Australia, has brought £54,000 in gold. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail way of Canada, for the week ending the 9th inst., amounted to £9,226, against £7,750 last year. The dividend warrants on Chilian 42 per Cent. and Russian 41 per Cent. Bonds have been an nounced for payment. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday was again very quiet, and prices were without altera tion. The sales were 3,000 bales. The appeal from the Irish Courts to the House of Lords, in the case of Eyre v. the London and County Bank, was heard yesterday. The matter had reference to a dispute in some of the estates of the late John Sadleir. Judgment was given in favour of the appellant. The defendants, the Lon don and County Bank, provided against this con tingency at their last annual meeting by setting aside the full amount claimed, viz., £15,400. A call of £2 per share becomes due on Friday next on the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway New shares. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK. The English Stock Market opened this morning with an appearance of increased depression, and a further decline of 1 per cent. ensued. But the de preciation has had the effect of inducing a few buyers to come forward, whose operations have led to a partial recovery. Consols have been 931 s for money, and 911 92 less the dividend for the ac count. They are now 938 4 and 921 respectively. The New Threes and the Reduced are flat at 911 4 ; Exchequer Bills, at 14s. to 17s. prem. ; Bank Stock is 235 and 2361 ; and India 5 per Cent., 1091 s.

Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish wheat were very moderate, yet the traLle was in a slug t;ish state, at barely Monday's currencies. The show of foreign wheat was somewhat , extensive, and all Gascriptions moved off heavily, at drooping' prices. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to , a moderate extent, on forro.er terms. The trade for barley was very dull, and the quotations riled the turn in favour of buyers. Malt sold heavily, at about, p vioue alutotokio ac Fine oats were firm in price, but the demand for inferior parcels ruled inactive, yet Monday's rates were maim.' aimed. Beans and peas were a dull inquiry, at drooping cur rencies. _ The flour trade was dull, yet no further change took place in prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley, Malt. Oats.

The value of most kinds of hops is barely supported, but buyers restrict their ;purchases to actual wants. WI 3ITECHAPEL. The supply of meat is extensive, and the trade is heavy. Beef, from 2s 6d to 3s 10d • mutton, 3s 2d to 45 4d ; lamb, Sa 6d to 6s 6d ; veal, 3s 8d to 4s 8d ; and pork, 38 6d to 4s 6d per Blbs by the ca rcase. PRI( 7.E OP GOLD. --- The quotation of gold ai "; Paris is about per cent. premium, and the short exchange c , n London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 104 d. per ounce for stand and gold, it appears that gold is about 3-10ths per cent. deare r in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg Idle price of gold is , P 64 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.6% per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the Engin ,h Mint price is, therefore, about 2 -10ths per cent. deare T in L ondon than in Hamburg. •The course of exchan Ete at N yew York on London for bills at 60 days' sight Is 114 t o 114% por cent., and the premium on gold is 3% per er cent. At th e a b ove ra t es th ere i s a profit on the po rtation of gold fro' n the United States.

THE lONIAN ISLANDS. — The following protest has been addressed by the lonian Legislative Assembly to the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands:— " FIRST SESSION OF THE T RELFTII PARLIAMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF THE lONIAN ISLANDS, PROTEST ♦GAINST THE PROTECTORATE. " Whereas the sth article of the Treaty of Paris of the sth of November, 1815, imposed, simply for the fulfilment of duties intrusted to the Protectorate, that Her Britannic Majesty shall have the right to occupy the fortresses and places of these States, and to maintain garrisons in the same;' and whereas by the 6th article it was provided in what manner everything which may relate to the mainte nance of the fortresses already existing shall be regulated, which was done by the 12th article of the 2d section, chap. vii., of the Constitution of 1817 ; " Whereas, independently of various other large sums expended by the lonian States for the maintenance and re pair of the existing fortresses, the sum of £164,000 was paid to the Protectorate, in virtue of the 24th Act of the 2d Parliament, dated the 19th of March, 1825, ' to restore and complete the fortifications of Corfu and Vido ;' and by the resolution of the Ist of June, 1833, of the 4th Parliament, the sum of £15,000 in addition was granted for the same purpose, under the condition, however, that as regarded the entire sum of £179,000 in the first Session of the Assembly Were should be submitted to it the accounts showing the application of the sums so voted, and the uses made of them in order to judge of their legitimate application; which it would appear has never been done by the Protectorate; " Whereas, by the resolution of the sth Parliament of the 14th of January, 1836, which was substituted for article 12, section 2, chapter vii., of the Constitution of the year 1817, the annual sum of £35,000 was fixed for the ' maintenance of the existing fortresses;' " Whereas, by the 28th article of the resolution of the Bth Parliament of the 6th (18th) of December, 1849, this sum, destined in part for the maintenance of the existing for tresses, was reduced to the annual sum of £25,000, which is now paid ; " Whereas the Protectorate, in violation of the duties assumed by it for the preservation of the fortresses, has de stroyed fortresses which existed, has constructed new forts, has undertaken, and continues to undertake, many other works entirely contrary to the spirit and letter of the Treaty of Paris, without the authority of the lonian Assembly; " Therefore,— " The Septinsular Assembly protests against the Protec torate for all that it has done, does, or may do in this matter. "The present shall be officially communicated to the Lord High Commissioner as the representative of the Pro tecterate, in order that through him it may be sent to the gracious Queen of Great Britain, reserving the exercise of all other rights. " Corfu, 17th (29th) April, 1862. " ELIA ZEBTO JACOBATO, President. "N. Lusi, Secretaries." The G. Dv sm u•zi, ecretaries." The following is the reply of the Lord High Com missioner : "The Most Noble the Legislative Assembly has trans mitted to the Lord High Commissioner a document styled a' Protest of the Twelfth Assembly against the Protecto rate,' in order that his Excellency, as representative of the Protectorate, may transmit the same to her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain.' "The Lord High Commissioner declines to receive this document from the Legislative Assembly. It is not within the competency of the Legislative Assembly to address a protest to her Majesty the Queen. " The only constitutional and legal course for the Legis lative Assembly to pursue in approaching the protecting Sovereign is laid down in chap. vii., sec. 7, art. 8 of the Constitutional Charter. " The Legislative Assembly exists in virtue of the Con stitution alone, and must regulate itself according to the provisions of the Charter. "The Lord High Commissioner therefore returns to the Most Noble the Legislative Assembly the paper transmitted to his Excellency by the most Illustrious the President. " Palace of St. Michael and St. George, Corfu, May 10. By his Excellency's command, "E. F. BARR, Acting Secretary to the Lord High Commissioner." GARIBALDI AND _ITALY. Last night a very interesting lecture was de livered upon the successful revolution in Italy, by Signora Jessie White Mario, in St. James Hall, the large room of which was crowded. The chair was taken by P. A. Taylor, Esq., M.P., about eight o'clock, and when Signora Mario made her ap pearance on the platform she was enthusiastically cheered. The CHAIRMAN said he had no desire to detain them for any length of time from the business of the evening, as he knew they were anxious to hear Signora Mario deliver her lecture. The ordinary office of a chairman was to endeavour to obtain a patient hearing for those who addressed a meeting, a request which, on the present occa sion, would be quite superfluous ; or a gentle man of weight and influence might be appointed chairman, with the view of giving importance to the lecture ; but he would venture to say there was not one man in the country whose presence there would add a wreath to the chaplet which already adorned her brow. (Loud chears.) She was a lady whose intelligence, courage, and devotion had been most conspicuous in Italy, and he had to thank her, in the name of the Garibaldi Committee, for the lec tures she had already delivered-50 in England and Scotland. The lectures given in England had been a great success, while in Scotland Signora Mario had received a great ovation. (Cheers.) In one of the battles she had faced a storm of bullets, and her devotion in following the wounded to the hospitals had earned for her the title of the Florence Night gale of Italy. (Renewed cheers.) In no battles were so few of the wounded soldiers lost, owing to the care and attention which had been paid them. Those who repudiated as a dream the idea which ten years ago were entertained of Italian unity and independence, were now compelled to acknowledge what had been accomplished by the sword of Gari baldi. (Cheers.) It was known to many now that Joseph Mazzini a as not only a patriot and an exile, but a prophet and a seer, and it had fallen to the lot of few men as it had to him, to write his name on the accomplishment of Italian independence. (Cheers.) Rome, they all knew, was essential to Italy, for it was the capital in which all the tradi tions of the provinces were centred. The question of Rome was the pressing question of the day, not only as regarded Italy, but as regarded all Europe —(cheers)—because the only security for the peace of Europe was the unity and independence of Italy. (Renewed cheers.) He believed that Mr. Disraeli, in some remarks he had recently made, mistook the temper of the people, as he did the temper of the House of Commons on the Italian question. (Hear, hear.) The chairman concluded by introducing Signora Mario, who was greeted by a perfect storm I of cheers. Signora MARio then proceeded with her lecture, and, except when referring to some documents, she consulted no notes. In the late struggle Italy, she said, seemed to be awakening from the sleep of ages. So recently as 1856 a statesman observed that the unity of Italy was a bubble, and the expulsion of the Austrians a chimera ; but in 1862 the Premier of England said that the union of Italy and foreign occupation ceasing in Rome were facts which must soon be realised. (Cheers.) Let them do justice to the living and the dead actors in the drama of independent Italy. The first man who spoke of united Italy with Rome for its capital was the great Italian poet Dante. Another distinguished man observed that Italian unity could not be ob tained with Rome for its capital, except by the abo lition of the Papacy. She then referred to the Period of the first French revolution and to the hopes which were entertained in Italy upon the hopes were of the First Napoleon , but these were not sustained by him; quite the contrary, and upon his downfall Italy was parcelled out into small duchies. The revolutions, she said, in 1821 and in 1831, in several parts of Italy were protests against such partitioning at the treaty of Vienna. She then very zealously defended Mazzini from what she termed the unfair and unfounded charges which had been levelled against him. He had lived in exile and poverty, labouring to lay the foundation of Italian unity, and to no man was Italy so much indebted as to Joseph Mazzini — (cheers)—and he saw that when the Italians were one for all, and all for each, they would accomplish Italian liberty. It was owing 1,3 the Italians themselves that Mazzini, in coming and going in his visits to Italy, was protected when a price was Fact upon his head. The mission of Mazzini was entrusted to the glorious Garibaldi to carry out. (Cheers.) One of the mis takes committed by some people in this country was a belief they entertained that Mazzini and Garibaldi would have sacrificed everything,and that they would sacrifice all for the establishment of a Republic. But the letter Mazzini had written to Charles Albert, and which she quoted, was proof to the contrail', r and the answer he received fo that letter was an order to quit Italy. He then went to Mar seilles, and he there founded the Society of Young Italy, of which Garibaldi was one of its first mem bers. Having traced the history of the efforts of teo of the by that society f rom t h e year 1834, s h e re f erre d to the sad fa the brothers Bandiel a, whose letters were opened an English statesman, and upon the information communicated to the King of Naples these brothers were arrested and were taken out and shot. She referred them to the con duct of Republican Prance, under the Presidency of Louis Napoleon, in sending 30,000 troops to put down the revolution in Rom e , and though England in her churches preached against the Papacy she then raised no voice to protest against the attempt to force the Pope upon the Italians. Her descrip tion of the wonderful exploits of Garibaldi in effect ing the liberation of Sicily was most graphic; and, although that liberation has been of so recent a date, and people are mostly familiar with all the principal details, she managed to make her narra tive full of interest and completely chained the attention of the audience, who occasionally inter rupted her with enthusiastic cheers. Her lecture occupied an hour and a half, and was admirably well delivered by her. She reprobated in most severe terms the unworthy intrigues of Louis Na poleon in Italy, and she expressed- very unfavour able opinions of Count Cavour, who was mixed up, she alleged, in these intrigues. He sold to a foreign usurper the birth-place of Garibaldi, and where rested the ashes of his mother. She added, " I have nothing to say of these facts. They speak for themselves." Louis Napoleon would have re stored the expelled Grard Dukes to what they called their possessions, and here it was that Eng land stood the able friend of Italy. Lord John Russell checkmated the Emperor, like an able general. The Grand Dukes, he said, might be re stored by those who expelled them, if the people ohose to do so; but they must not be restored by foreign aid. At the conclusion of the lecture she was again enthusiastically cheered. The personal appearance of Signora Mario is prepossesing, and her figure graceful. Her counte nance is very expressive and animated, and she has a finely modulated voice, which adds much to the charm of her delivery. She appeared not to be at all wearied at the close of the lecture. Her se cond lecture will be upon Naples and Caprera, and will be given on Tuesday next. SERIOUS BOILER EXPLOSIoN AND LOSS OF LIF.E AT GREENOCK. An accident of a most serious and alarming cha racter,•arising from the bursting of a boiler at the large iron shipbuilding works of Messrs. Scott and Company, Cartsdyke, took place yesterday morn ing, and resulted in the death of at least one man, end serious, if not fatal, injuries to about a dozen others. We give the particulars so far as they could be gathered by a personal hurried visit to, and inspection of, the scene of the unfortunate event. The works of Messrs. Scott and Co. are situated near to Garvel Park, exactly where the main street of Cartsdyke runs into East Hamilton-street, pro ceeding on towards Port-Glasgow. The main thoroughfare there forms an obtuse angle, in the very corner of which, and on the north side of the street, stood for more than a century and a half, a little, old-fashioned house, with rook-stepped gables, the southern corner of whish jutted out a few feet on to the footpath. It was originally known by the name of Garvel House, and enjoyed the re putation of having been the halting place for one night of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, the Preten - der, in his way up the Vale of Clyde. It became a roadside public• house, and continued so for several years. It belonged to a Mr. Murdoch, who, when Garvel Park Fused into the possession of Mr. C. Scott, the respected senior partner of the present firm of Scott and Co., and when that enterprising firm set down their works there, sold this antique house to Mr. Scott. The jutting corner was removed to improve the street, a wall erected on the new line, and the old house, joined to other interior erections) formed a boiler•house and blacksmith's shops. In the same house, extending within a few feet of the street, stood the boiler which burst, and which supplied steam to a horizontal uncondensing steam engine, which propelled the machinery at the works, at the south west extremity. The boiler, which is tubular, is about 25 feet in length and 7 feet in diameter. The explosion took place exactly at three minutes to six o'clock, immediately before the time at which the steam was to have been let on to propel the engine, and therefore at a time when the pressure would in all likelihood be at its maximum. The part of the boiler that gave way was the internal flue, immediately over the fire, and the rent ran almost the length of the boiler. The steam, in thus bursting out, would meet with some resistance from the furnace bars which were at the inside end, and this accounts for the greatest pressure being out wards to the main street ; but at both ends the escaping steam must have been impelled with the force of a shot from a cannon ; in fact, the boiler, which has never shifted from its seat, presented the appearance of a great cannon fired off at both ends. The inside, running due east from the furnace mouth of the boiler, out of which the immense pres sure of steam squirted, pointed towards blacksmiths' shops. It first threw down a wooden partition, deeply indented a wooden crane upright, carried away a vice bench, shattered a Dundas hammer of about 10 cwt., and threw down and scattered about a rubble wall. It was near to this wall that the body of James Finnie, one of the workmen, was got, shockingly mutilated, and G. M'Donald, an other, is supposed to have been impelled through this wall, while James Russell was found there near to his fire. But the greater number of persons appear to have been injured on the street outside while in the act of passing to their day's work. The explosion westwards in that direction threw down the wall which separated the house from the street, filling the Main-street with a mass of ruins, and we are told of many hairbreadth escapes made here by men passing to their work—one being immolated, and his companion escaping unscathed. The debris was propelled westward along the Main-street of Carts dyke for upwards of 200 yards, dashing the fronts of the houses on the south side with mud, splinters of wood, stones, 8,1-c. A two -storey house on the south side of the street, nearly opposite to the boiler-house, has had the window dashed to atoms, the houses filled with wet mud, and splinters of wood. bricks, and heavy iron, tools have been projected into the houses, the interiors of which have been completely devasted, and the in mates narrowly escaped (se vere injury. One bed in one of these houses had just been vacated, when the debris came dashing through the window frames, some of the missiles making deep indent man, who and knockedstartled tions into the wood and plaster. i n indenta tions of the houses, Colin Ross, painter, an old an invalid, while sitting at the fire, was was with the smashing in of the window down ; and in another house, James Brown, a la bourer, when the window was smashed in, shut the shutters and held his back to them, but he was forced to the other end of the apartment, and was cons iderably injured ab ou t t h e of his feet cut. The whole f body, and h a d one o pre sented a complete scene of d this tenement ev been under water, and left devastation , as if it had stones, and oth er debris with a deposit of mud, The followi ng are the . to be inju re d, so names of the men reported faras could be gathered in the early part o f t h e were day , and the majority of whom conveyed to the Infirmary Jam or bolt James ... v • nni ie, smith :— man, screwer, an elderly unmarried, residing near Ladyburn, with a sister, killed outright• , his body, in a shockingly mutilated condition , • being dug out of the ruins in side immediately after • M.Don the explosion.

Several petitions were presented from licensed victuallers in different parts of the United Kingdom in favour of the Sale of Spirits Beer Bill, and from other bodies against the sale of intoxicating liquors. HIGHWAYS BILL. Sir G. GREY said he thought it right to state that as supply would come on to-morrow evening, and would in all probability occupy the house till late, he would not procaed with the bill until Monday evening next. On that evening the Scotch Education Bill would be the first order of the day, and he proposed to place the Highways Bill second on the list. If, however, the first order of the day lasted any considerable time he would not press the High ways Bill that evening. Mr. W. MARTIN, in moving the order of the day, for the second reading of this bill, said the object of the mea sure was to modify what was known as the " Tippling let" passed in the reign of George 11. When that act was passed tippling was carried on to an extent of which in the present age they had no idea. Gin was then sold at the corner of every street, and the object of the framers of the bill was to prevent scores being ran up against half drunken men on the backs of doors of publichouses. The bill proved effectual, and he did not wish that debts should be recovered for spirits drank on the premises. His only object was to prevent the existing law from being perverted to an extent that was never proposed by those who patronised that measure. Having read the preamble of the Tippling Act, which set forth the object for, which it was framed, he said he intended by the present bill to enable wine merchants to recover for two gallons of spirits supplied at the house of a cus tomer. He quoted some cases, the particulars of which had been furnished him by correspondents on whose infor mation he could rely. and which shoe ed that people in the most respectable station of society were not ashamed to plead the Tippling Act to defraud those whom they were honourably bound to pay because their demands were just. He said that his bill was framed in accordance with the re presentations of some of the most respectable persons, ana the sole object was not to promote intoxication, but to pre vent a class of honest tradesmen being cheated. (Hear.) Mr. AYRTON moved, as an amendment, that the bill should be read a second time this day three months. He founded his opposition to the bill on the ground that no necessity existed for its_ introduct'on. The bill proposed only to deal with gin.' Now gin was an innovation, and came into this country after the Dutch Rev lution, being, he believed, the only drawback to that political event. He read the statements of some of the authorities of the City who presented a petition to the house in the reign of George 11., which led to the passing of the act which it was now sought by this bill to repeal.
