MONEY MA RA ET ,4 Nn CITY NE"- CITY, Two o'CLocu. The accounts received from the North of Eng land state that a gradual improvement has taken place in most branches of trade in the manufac turing districts. At Leeds during the past week a seasonable business has been done in woollen cloths, and most of the millowners are fully em ployed upon contract orders for the winter. Worsted yarns at Bradford have been dealt in to a fair extent, and the demand for piece goods for trade use has increased. The inquiries for goods for the United ,States and Canada still continue active, and Owing to the high rates current for the raw ma terial,' prices show an upward tendency. Business at Manchester has been more active. India goods have been a shade higher. The inquiry for yarns on Continental account has increased, owing to the more favourable aspect of political affairs. The hosiery trade of Leicester continues extremely buoyant, the operatives generally being fully en gaged upon orders from the United States. In South Staffordshire a slight improvement has t aken place in the value of iron, and at Birming ham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, business generally has exhibited symptoms of recovery. The Money Market continues very firm, although it still retains a quiescent appearance. Within the last fortnight the demand has augmented, chiefly— on commercial account, as business is gradu ally increasing, and at the same time the value of ac commodation has tended upwards, because bankers and others seem to anticipate higher rates, and cons equ ently more remunerative employment for their resources before many weeks have elapsed, but the minimum remains at 21 per cent., the ap plications, although more numerous, were not press ing, and the bullion in the Bank of England is nearly £17 , 5 00,000. Owing to the new Indian loan—the particulars of which, it is reported, will transpire this evening —the probable expansion of trade, and ether contingencies, the opinion, nevertheless, pre vails that the Bank - Directors will be soon com pelled to vary their terms to 3 per cent. 'rho arrivals of specie this morning have been ve ry important, including £168,000 by the Prince of W ales, and £260,000 by the Lightning, both ... - "° 131 Australia ; £81,402 by the Asia from New York, and £4,221 by the Sultan from Lisbon. quietly, The Li verpool Cotton Market on S atur d ay c l ose d and 7,000 bales were sold at previous quotations.

The leading coun try markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat, for which the demand ruled steady, on rather higher terms. Most descriptions of spring corn changed hands slowly, at about stationary prices. The latest continental advices are to the effect that very little business has been passing iu wheat for export. Barley and other articles have sold slowly. In the United States both wheat and flour continue to decline. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad we received 21,689 qrs. of wheat, 3,825 barley, 55,727 oats, 15 beans, 1,298 peas, 215 linseed, 15 rapeseed, 160 sundry seeds, and 693 sacks of flour. A very limited supply of English wheat was cn sale in to-day's market, coastwise and by land carriage. Amongst it were about 100 quar ers of new from Essex and Kent. The Talavera samples came to hand in excellent condition, and were held at 56s per quarter, but the condition of the rough chaff parcels was by no means good. The demand for all kinds ruled steady, at fully last Monday's prices ; indeed, in some instances, the quotations were a shade higher than on that day. The show of foreign wheat was extensive. All good and fine samples were in fair request, and prices were fully sup ported. Low and middling parcels moved off slowly at late rates. Floating cargoes of grain maintained last week's cur rency. The few samples of new barley in the market were in poor condition. Old qualities were dull, but not cheaper. There was ‘ , er;-y- little inquiry for malt, at barely late rates. Owing to large arrivals from abroad, the oat trade was heavy at 6d. per qr. less money. Beans were held at full quotations, but the demand for them was by no means active. New grey peas were selling at 365. per qr., with a moderate inquiry. The flour trade was steady at full quotations, but town made parcels fell to 435. per 2801 b. _ _ New white mustard seed was offering at 18s. to 20s. per bushel. CORN EXCHANGE.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The total imports of foreign stock into London last week were 10,972 head. In the corresponding week in 1858 we received 7,877; in 1857, 7,486; in 1856, 8,010; in 1855, 8,696; in 1854, 7,014; in 1853, 7,044; and in 1852, head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WEER. Sheep. Lambs.

Generally speaking, its quality was good. About an average time-of-year supply of beasts came fresh to hand this morning from our own grazing districts, in fair condition. For nearly all breeds the demand ruled inactive ; nevertheless, compared with Monday last, very little change took place in the quotations—the general top figure for beef being 4s 4d per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 1,300 short horns and crosses; from Nor folk and Cambridgeshire 350 of various breeds; from other parts of England 400 of various breeds; from Scotland 100 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 200 oxen and heifers. The show of nearly all breeds of sheep was again some what extensive, but their general condition was only mid dling. Prime Downs and half•breeds sold readily at 4s 10d to Ss per 81bs. Otherwise, the mutton trade ruled steady at full prices. We had a fair demand for lambs, and the quotations were well supported. Calves—the supply of which was only moderate—were in request, and the turn dearer. The pork trade was in a sluggish state. In prices, how ever, no change took place.

MARLBOROUGH -STREET. A CAPTAIN CHARGED WITH A COWARDLY ASSAULT, &c.—Capt. Wm. Couch, of the 22d Regiment of Foot British Hotel, Cockspur-street, and who was said to be about to leave for Malta, was charged before Mr. Beadon with being drunk and disorderly at the St. James's Hall, and also with afterwards assaulting, at the Vine-street station, acting-gaoler. Turner. Sergeant Rogers, 6 C, said on Saturday evening he was on duty at the St. James's Hall, when the defendant was expelled-by the waiters on account of being drunk and dis orderly; and seeing that he had his dress disarranged, he (the sergeant) advised him to get into a cab and go home. Finding that he could not get rid of him he took him to the station, where he behaved with great violence, assaulted three or four of them, kicked him (Rogers), and afterwards struck the acting gaoler a violent blow on the eye. Jacob Turner, 77 C, a very steady officer, said ho was acting gaoler, on Saturday night at the Vine-street station, and owing to the defendant's violent conduct, was ordered by his inspector to lock the defendant up. He then became so violent that he was obliged to get the assistance of the last witness and Sergeant Winters to get him to the cell. The defendant then said he would knock his " - eye out," and as soon as he got him to the cell the defendant gave him a severe blow in the eye with his clenched fist, causing him severe pain, and to become insensible from the pain. (The constable's eye bore the remains of a very severe blow). The defendant said he' was simply defending himself. Mr. Beadon--You were ordered to be locked up by the inspector owing to your violent conduct, and the man was properly doing his duty, and you, unprovoked, assault him. Holding the position of an officer in her Majesty's service it is a little too much. Fined Li or one month.

THAMES, STRIKE OF GAS WORKMEN.-Mr. Hu.rnphrey.i, jun., solicitor, who was accompanied by the manager of the Great Central Gas Works on Bow Common, applied to Mr. Selfe for summonses against five men who were the principal ringleaders in a strike of 50 firemen, stokers, and scoop drivers employed upon the works who had struck for increased wages, and upon their demands not being com plied with suddenly left their work, and put the gas com pany to great inconvenience. Mr. Humphreys dwelt upon the misconduct of the men in throwing up their engage ments without notice, and said the chairman and directors of the company were determined to enforce the law. The men were liable to imprisonment and hard labour for three months for absenting themselves without leave and without notice before the period for which they were engaged expired. The com pany were determined to make an example of the ring leaders as a warning to others. Mr. Selfe doubted whether labourers employed in gas works came within the meaning of the words of the 4th Geo. 4, cap. 31. The matter had been repeatedly discussed before judges and justices, as to whether all labourers, how ever employed came within the meaning of the words " la bourers or other persons." Mr. Humphreys, jun:, said this was a case of vital im portance not only to gas companies, but to the public gene rally. If men employed in gas factories could leave their work suddenly and without notice the metropolis might be left in total darkness from sunset to sunrise ; the operations of trade suspended, and great mischief done to persons and property. The words of the Act included servant in husbandry, artificer, calico printer, handicraftsman, miner, collier, keelman, pitman, glassman, potter, labourer, or other person. He contended the magistrate had jurisdiction, and ought to issue the summonses. Mr. Selfe asked if there 'was any contract in writing, to which Mr. Humphreys answered in the negative, and said the Act applied to " contracts in writing or not in writing." Mr. Selfe said he would grant the summonses against the parties complained of, and that the case was one de mending a thorough investigation. Any objection to the jurisdiction could be discussed upon the hearing. Mr. Fletcher, solicitor, of Arbour-square, Stepney, watched the case on the part of the 50 men who have struck for wages, and who had previously instructed him to sue the Gas Company for four days' wages due at the time the strike took place.

The CLERK read a letter from the petitioners against the return of the sitting members for the western division of Kent stati ng th a t the petition had been withdrawn., ' PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the followir4 bills were agreed to :—Charing Cross Railway, noblin'and Wicklow Railway, Lands Improveinent Company, and Scottish Cen tral Railway. SECOND READINGS. The following bills were. read a second time : Hereford and Brecon Railway, Earl Vane' s Estate, Robins's. Estate, and Thames Waterman and COMMUNICATION BETWEEN HOLYHEAD AND DUBLIN. ' , • Mr. CARDWELL obtained leave to brine in a bill to facilitate the communication between Holyhead_ and Dub lin. CUSTOMS' ACTS. The house went into committee on these acts, and the chairman was directed to move for leave to bring in a bi:l on the same. INCOME-TAX, &c., Thi'z bill, as amended, was considered, and ordered for third reaoing to-morrow. SUPPLy.. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Lord ELCHO wished to be informed whether it was in tended to proceed with supply on Thursday evening, for if this were the case he would move his amendment on that day, as to its not being consistent with.the honour and dig nity of this country to take any part" in the proposed conference. The. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he trusted the committee would terminate before that day, but at all events the report would be brought up, which would afford the noble lord an opportunity 'if proceeding with his motion. Lord J. MANNERS drew attention to the answer stated to been given by the First Lord of the Treasury to a depu tation which waited on him in reference to the new Foreign Office. The noble lord having made some general observa tions, said that the noble lord at the head of her Majesty's Government was reported to have said that the chief com missioner had directed Mr. Scott that plans, different to those already executed, and which were under the inspec tion of the house, should be prepared. Those plans had cost a large sum, and, in his opinion, met all the require meats, and would prove one of the greatest embellishments of the metropolis if adopted. An alteration in the Foreign Office would necessitate a change in the plan of the Indian officers which would entail on the country a very large and unnecessary expense. He.wished to receive an assurance from the Government that no alteration in these plans would take place until the re-assembling of Parlia ment, by which time the house would have an opportunity of deciding on the merits of• the plans now submitted to their consideration. Mr. HADFIELD asked what course was intended to be adopted by the Government in regard to the bill before the Upper House, on the amendment of the law of real estate and the relief of trustees, and whether any day would be fixed for considering the bill ? Lord ROBERT' CECIL asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of the Government to issue commissions to inquire into the election proceedings of those constituencies in which com mittees have reported that extensive bribery prevails? Sir G. C. LEWIS said, with regard to the bill alluded to by the hon. member for Sheffield, that it was not a Go vernment measure, but, when it came before the house, the Attorney-General would, no doubt, be in his place and state his views on the subject. He could not in the state of busi ness—it would be impossible—to appoint a day for consi dering the bill. With respect to the question of the noble lord (Elcho), the Government had no special function on the subject, and it would be .impossible in the case of the Gloucester petition to take any steps until the evidence before the committee was presented. Sir. J. SHELLEY gave notice that he would move that in future no new writ should be issued in the case of mem bers whose elections were declared void until the evidence was before the house. Th. , house then went into committee. On the vote •f £3,965 for salaries and expenses of offices in London under the Local Board of Health Act, some dis cussion ensued. - Sir G. C. LEWIS said that there was no desire on the part of the Government to maintain any unnecessary ex penditure in this department, which was subordinate to the Secretary of State without whose sanction it could not adopt any proceedings. The vote was agreed to. On the vote of £26,275 for temporary commission, Colonel SYKES drew attention to the item of £6,000 salary to the Lord of Jersey, the justice of which he was utterly at a loss to understand. The hon. and gallant member adverted also to a sum of £3,500 for the University Commission of Scotland, which it ap peared was to become a permanent charge on the country. He trusted that in future the house would not pass the vote with the same facility they had been accustomed to do previously. Mr. BRADY made some observations with reference to the state of the harbour of refuge at Holyhead, which he described as utterly, useless. After some conversation, Mr. LAING said that the vote in regard to harbour of re fuge commission was in payment of the services that com mission had rendered, and their labours were now termi • nated. CONSOLIDATION OF STATUTES LAW COMMISSION. Mr. EDWIN JAMES said that there was an item in the vote of 42,361 for this commission, and it appeared that £1,300 was required. That commission had been ap pointed in 1854, and since then, instead of doing . any ser vice, it had acted as an incubiis, having tended to stifle any attempt to mend the state of the statute law. In support of that statement, he alluded to the bill introduced by the late Attorney-General for Ireland, which he eulogised highly, and which was not taken up in consequence of its being stated that the commission were considering the question. _ _ After some remarks by Mr. WHITESIDE, Sir G. C. LEWIS said that this subject of the consolida tion of the statute law was one that had been described by some of the most eminent lawyers, who entertained the most contradictory opinions as to the mode of codefying the ex'sting laws. (Hear.) He believed, however, that benefit had already resulted from the labours of the commission, and he thought that it was desirable that it should be continued. It was necessary that those who were engaged on the commission should be remunerated ; and he assured the house there wax no desire en the part of the Government to continue this commission for the purpose of patronage, but from a conviction of its utility. With regard to a remark which had been made, to the effect that the commission did not propose to amend the laws, he would remind the house that their function was simply to consolidate and not to attempt to improve the laws. [LEFT SITTING.] We are requested to state that the name of the Hon. Captain Hugh Annesley was, by some mistake, omitted from the Division List on Friday evening, in which he voted with the majority against Mr Horsman's motion about the national defences. We have reason to believe that Mr. Dallas has recently placed in the hands of Lord John Russell • a despatch from Washington in which it is stated that'thb United States Government have resolved to abandon priva teering, ard thus to accept the declaration respecting this portion of maritime law agreed upon at the Congress at Paris in 1856. WAR Snips IN THE MERSEY—The Nile (91) has now received her full compliment of men, and will leave the Mersey on Wednesday to join the Channel fleet. The Nile, we believe, will b e succee d e d b y th e screw line-of battle ship Duko of Wellington. The " Pardon de Ploermel," just produced with immense success at Covent-garden, in Italian, is to be the first novelty at the English opera in Miss Pyne's company. That lady is to take Dinorah, of course. SALE OF THE STAR AND GARTER, RICHMOND.— Saturday, at the Auction M ar t, M essrs.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—ThorIey's Food for Cattle is now beginning to seriously attract the a tt en ti on o f th e f arm er, breder, and feeder of stock. Two years of unremitting care and attention have enabled its inventor to take high ground as a benefactor to these interests ; and notwithstand ing the many drawbacks, the malevolent shafts hurled against it and its probable utility, the food, from its admitted value, will become a necessity to the agricultural interest. Experience has proved, first, that it effects a considerable saving in the consumption of provender; secondly, that it produces health and vigour in all animals subjected to its influence : and lastly, increases in a remarkable degree an early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. In this he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ap plicable to every description of domestic animal. The Eng lish farmer was slow to encourage its use, and manifested an unwillingness to rely upon its efficacy, fancying be possessed in t in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby feed t food and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate than by the employment or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this has been dit subjected en te the natural o p v r e d od i u ts ce pe o rf f e t c h t e ad fa ni rn ss ; ib in ili el a u s c s h ch as e in all cases a subtraction of one-third may be safely p ad submitted to rea i li n s t e h d e , u an su d al re f n o d od er o ed f animalsmarketableandinthtwatet-hthet7dods eufcethwille time ; i i usually consumed in developing fat effected by aair application f ; it, n therefore, becomes . apparent that a certain saving is eecff of wheat very gene • of Thorley's Compounded Food. It h is as be tn li d ezd ed tha it t a the present r u ai np u r s e e c , ed in en p te r d ef l e o r of the usual articles w en p ee riee to any other of food ; it is, however, muchq r u t e h st e lonedwh e horse, certainly whether wheat is a working nourishing and proper food fe it is not for cows or pigs. Mr. Thorley's Food, besides possessing the advantage of greatly invigorating the health and increasing the physical power of all animals, is a tonic and gentle stimulant, and when mixed with their other food, materially assists their digestive powers —a matter of great co nsequence, since it is an undoubt e d f ac t t h at the nourishment contained in their ordinary food is lost, conse quent upon the also h impair e ed fb o un r ddefectetivhee pacartitoinenolfartlhyehdeingeesfiteivhde organs ; t in restoring to good working condition horses which have been over-worked, or become weak from disease, or are naturally of a feeble constitution. In cows its effects are undoubted, indeed almost marvellous, nearly doubling the yield of milk and butter, whilst it at the same time enriches the quality of both. In pigs its fattening qualities are still more remarkable, displaying in a few weeks its manifest superiority over every other kind of compound or manu factured food adopted in the feeding of swine. Such has been its marked success, that at all our great cattle shows, Royalty, noblemen, and others who have fed their cattle on Thorley's Food, have invariably carried off the principal prizes, whilst cards of commendation have been awe' ded. The patronage of Royalty, of our principal nobility, the clergy, and of our leading agriculturists, must prove a great incitement to this gentleman to pursue his onward course ; and he may confidently rely, in producing so highly -favoured a compound, on a continuat;rm of such high and distinguished patronage.

A table is annexed exhibiting an estimate of the gross revenues on the one side, an &the entire Indian charges on the' ether, with the estimated increase or decrease under each head in 1859-60, as com pared with 1858-59. _ _ _ The aggregate receipts from land revenue in 1859-60 are estimated at 18,27,29,500 rupees, being an improvem6 - nt.to the extent of 72,67,080 rupees, as compared with 1858-59, for which year the land revenue has been estimated at 17,54,62,420 rupees. The increase of 57,60,000 rudees in Oude has been estimated on the suppoSition that peace will be fully restored in that province. The increase of 19,60,000 rupees in the north-west proVinces is attributable partly to the expected' realisation of a large amount of arrears, and partly to the collec tion of 10 lacs of additional revenue from confis cated estates: The decrease of 1,41,000 rupees in. the Punjab is. looked for in the Delhi territory, consequent on the grant of lands rent free, as re wards for faithful or loyal services. Under the head of Customs, exclusive of salt, which will be noticed separately, there is an ex pected improvement in the receipts for the whole of India in 1859-60, as compared . with 1858-59,. of 1,05,08,100 re. The revenue to be derived from salt sales and duties, after deckteting advances and . charges, is estimated at 3,13 - ,56,09 rupees, being 14,72,060 rupees in excess of the amount estimated for 1858- 59. In Bengal a diminution of 3,06,230 rupees in the amount realised from the sale of salt is ex pected to be More than met by an increase of 5,00,000 rupees in the duty upon inaportations. The receipts from opium arc estimated at .5,28,84,000 rupees, being 41 ; 73,660 rupees in excess of the receipts estimated for the current year. The ordir,ary and extraordinary receipts from the public works have been assumed at 50,56,100 rupees, beint , 2,51,104 rupees in excess of the estimates of 1858-59. The miscellaneousreceipts, deducting the'receipts appertaining to the mints, show a probable improve ment in 1859-GO of 9,52,955 rupees. The aggregate anticipated improvement under the principal heads of revenue is 2,42,95,832 rupees. It is chiefly contingent on peace being maintained, and on the deliveries of opium at Bombay, and the exports and imports by sea at the several Presi dencies not being diminished in consequence of the additional duties imposed upon them ; but the pro spect is on the whole encouraging, and it is pro bable that the general results will be much more favourable should it be determined in the course of the year to introduce the measures now under con sideration, of a tax on tobacco, a stamp duty on cheques] and receipts, and an enhancement of the salt duties at Madras and Bombay.. With regard to the charges, it is observed the total charges expected to be incurred in India in 1859-60 amount to 30,13,38,073 rupees, being 1,91,95,981 rupees less than the charges estimated for 1858-59. Of these charges 1,34,71,100 rupees appertain to the territories of Nagpoor, Pegu and Martaban, Tenasserim and Oude. The ordinary civil chargers are estimated to exceed those of 1838-59 by 188,960 rupees, chiefly in consequence of an increase in the ex pense on account of deputy magistrates and the criminal courts, police establishments, and revenue surveys in Bengal, and the charges of the Enam Com mission, peat establishments, revenue surveys, and uncovcnanted deputy-collectors in Madras. The civil charges extraordinary (general, judi cial, revenue, &c.), show a decrease compared with 1858-52 of 18,32,830 rupees. .In the departments under the immediate control of the Government of India, the decrease is estimated at 9,31, 500 rupees. _ The. military charges, ordinary- and extraordi nary, exhibit en estimated decrease of 2,32,01,300r5. Under the head of " Interest," there is an esti mated increase of 48,86,2000r5., the bulk of which is under India. The expenditure for public works during the year is assumed at 4,38,20,997r5. - After giving a tabular statement with regard to the debt as well as besides recapitulating the re ceipts and disbursements, the document, in its con cluding paragraph, says :—" From these results it will be seon that a cash balance of 11,39,66,539r5. is looked for on the 30th April, 1860. This cash balance is only 60,33,461 rupees below the amount (12,00,00,000) which it is thought desirable, under existing circumstances, to have at command in the treasuries throughout India at that period of the year. ETON COLLEGE-ELECTION SATUR- DAY. — On Friday last, according to ancient custom, the Rev. Dr. Okes, accompanied by his two opposers, the Rev. Mr. Rogers, and 0. Waterfield, Esq., arrived in state, at two o'clock, and was received in the lower school, by the Vice-Provost, fellows, conducts, masters, ana assistant-masters. After having inspected the school rooms, they proceeded through the quandrangle to the entrance of the cloisters, by the clock tower, where the Provost of Eton was in waiting to receive them. The Latin speech was delivered by a King's scholar. On the arrival of the Provost of King's the hospitalities provided for by the pious founder commenced, and which are carried out by the college authorities of the present day in a most liberal manner. The various entertainments are continued over the greater part of the present week. On Satvrday morning at 12 o'clock the company assembled in the upper school to hear the speeches. All the speakers displayed great oratorical powers, but we cannot refrain from especially mentioning the names of Bosanquet ma. K.S., Wynne ma., Gurdon, and Johnstone, who eminently distin uished themselves in their respective parts. At 3 o'clock the company connected with the college, together with the King's scholars, assembled in the College Hall, where a sumptuous entertain ment was provided for them. The college Wind sor-bridge,egraceesffeacq b 3 ante and i e )os s t ev p e r n a t l y z_di l u i n i a n wi s re sch cb o a l n a t r e s d , with ably fine assisted by the choirs of Eton College and the Chapel Royal of St. 'George.
