-MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. Turkish Loan scrip dosed at 31 to 4 prem., and Egyptian at 3to 3 i l ,- prem., being better. Russian, on the other hand, was decidedly heavy, and has fallen to "4- to prem. The amount of gold taken to the Bank to-day was £32,000. The steamer Europa, being from Boston, has brought only £4,000 in specie. The Sir George Pollock cleared from Nelson for London on the 14th March with £19,000 in gold. The excitement in the Liverpool cotton market is increasing, Tne sales to-day reached the extra ordinary total of 25,000 bales, of which 15,000 were taken on speculation and for export. Prices were quoted no less than Zd. to Id. higher than on Friday. A dividend of 2a. 63. in the pound on the estate of Mr. J. W. Shillito, wholesale grocer, who failed in March last, will be paid to-day (Tuesday) at the officers of Messrs. Theodore Jones and Co., the accountants. This, with the dividend already paid, will make 9a. in the pound, the amount originally offered to be guaranteed ; and it is expected there will be another small dividend in a few weeks. -- • In the Court of Bankruptcy to-day a further divi dend of IF . 4d. in the pound was announced on the estate of Messrs. Barnard and Rosenthal], ware housemen, making, wit a the dividends already paid, a total of 7s. 4d. in the pound. There will be a further small division. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have announced the half -yearly dividends on Russian Four-and-a- Half per Cents. of 1860 ; also on Canada Sterling Debentures, Nova Scotia Six per Cent. Sterling Bonds, New Brunswick Six per Cent. Sterling Bonds, Maryland State Sterling Five per Cent. Bonds, South Carolina State Sterling Five per Cent. Bonds, Boston City Sterling Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds, and Eastern Railroad of Massa chusetts Five and Six per Cent. Bonds. The Stock Exchange committee have appnintei Thursday, the 26th June, a special settling day i❑ the shares of the Metropolitan Railway Carriage and Waggon Company (Limited), which are not to be marked. No shares are to be " bought in" without an order from the committee. The annual meeting of the Peel River Land Com pany is called for the 11th of July. Shareholders in the Chartered Bank of British Columbia and Vancouver's Island are required to execute the deed between the 24th inst. and the 15th pros. The commercial demand for money is decidedly below what is usually experienced at this period of the quarter. Until the dividend money comes upon the market, bankers and discounters appear to be in hopes that they will be able to keep up the rates, but the quarter turned it is probable that the supply of m oney will increase. There is nothing in the present condition of trade to render the market ac tive, and the demand arising from the recent foreign loans has now been for the most part satis fied. At the Bank of England to-day business was slack. In other quarters there were occasional transactions a fraction below three per cent. There is a rumour that the amount of the pro posed Pertuguese Loan is larger than has been mentioned, £5,000,000 of stock being now spoken of, instead of £2,000,000. It is also said that 44 per cent. ex div. is contemplated as thu price of issue, but this seems to present an inadequate mar gin. The loan will probably be 'negotiated through Messrs. Knowles and Foster. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes opened heavily at 68.25, and closed at 68.45 for money and 68.60 for the account, being -k to per cent. higher than on Saturday. The next steamers to arrive from America are the Saxonia and the City of New York, both of which were to lave New Yolk on the 14th, and the Bohemian, from Quebec, also on the 14th. Either of these may be expected daily with three days' later news, and:the Persia, with news a week later, will probably be telegraphed from Queenstown on Saturday next. The Saxonia, New York, and Persia are all expected to bring specie. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY . CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK; The dealings in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets during the last few days have been rather less active. Sugars have been somewhat ch eaper, while coffee, rice, and spices have mak tained previous rater. Saltpetre has been dull, while tallow has slightly improved fur both present and forward delivery. Continued activity prevailed in the Liverpool cotton market yesterday, and a large aulount of business was concluded at a further advance in prices, The sales were estimated at about 25,000 bales. It appears that the passenger traffic on the open poi tion of the Punjab Railway, between Lahore and Umritzir, 32 miles in length, from the opening of this section on the 10th of April to the 4th of May averaged £lO to £ll per mile per week.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THIS DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at 20 minutes past 12. POLICE AND IMPROVEMENT (SCOTLAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Clauses to 14 were agreed to. On clause 15, Sir M. STEWART said he believed and hoped the bill now before Parliathent would never pass into law. He would have opposed the bill going into committee, but he thought he should have had no chance of success. Many of the provisions of the bill w ere monstrous and thoroughly non sensical. His objection to theabill was that it tied proprietors of land and occupiers in towns hand and foot, and placed them at the mercy of a body of commissioners and magi strates. The only safeguard was that the commissioners might have the good sense to throw away 200 or 300 of the clauses, and to look for one here or there that might work. He did not believe that Scotch members generally had read the bill. The LORD ADVOCATE said he could only account for the strong language used by the hon. baronet by the fact that he himself had net read the bill. He believed the bill was regarded in Scotland as one of the most important sani tary measures ever introduced. If there were nonsensical clauses in the bill he wished the hon. baronet had pointed them out to him. He thought the bill was exceedingly well drawn up, and that it would work well. The difference between it and Lord Rutherfurd's bill was that Lord Rutherfurd's bill cculd only have been worked as a whole, whereas this bill might be adopted in parts. Clauses up to 83 were agreed to. On clause 84, Mr. BLACK proposed to add "provided further, when in any burgh, under the provisions of any Police Act, a higher rate of assessment is now and has been in use to bo levied upon lands and tenements above a certain fixed rent than upon lower rented lands and tenements, it shall be in the power of the commissioners, in laying on the assess ment under this Act, to continue the same relative rates of assessment, if they think proper. The amendment was negatived and the clause was agreed to. On clause 88, Mr, C. EWING proposed as an amendment after the word "may," to insert "if they think fit, exempt from the police assessment under this act all premises which shall be let at a rent not exceeding £3, or such lower sum as they may think fit for that purpose, and that in respect to pre mises let at any higher rent, they may also." The committee divided— For the amendment Against it itlaj The amendment was lest and clause was agreed to. Clauses to 177 were agreed to. On the motion of Sir M. STEUART, clause 178 was struck out.

The total value coined in 1855—that is: from the 14th of May in that year, when the institution was founded—was £514,840 ; in 1856, £1,219,807; in 1857, £767,97 0 ; in 1858, £1,344,067 ; in 1859, £1,221,032 in 'lB6O, £1,651,510 ; and in 1861, £1,719,255 ; making the total gross amount coinetll£B,VB, l62 . A HERO.—An old pilot, named Trementin, and the senior on the list of Enseignes de Vaissseau, has just died at the Isle de Bas (Finisterre) at the age of eighty-five. A singular and heroic act is connected with the career of this veteran. In 1827, Lieutenant Bisson, who commanded a small brig, the Panayotis, while cruising close to the Island of Stampalia, in the Grecian Archipelago, was attacked by a number of pirates. Bisson defended himself to the utmost extremity, and when no longer able to resist against superior force, almost all his men being killed and himself being mortally wounded, he beckoned to Trementin, and, pressing his hand, ordered him to set fire to the powder magazine. The other, -without a moment's hesitation, descended with a match, and the instant after a terrible explosion took place, and the shore was covered with human bodies. The life of Trementin was saved by a sort of miracle, and when the act was made known to the Government, the rank of Enseigne de Vaisseau and the Cross of the Legion of 1-I,flour was conferred on him. A pension was also granted to the sister of Lieut. Bisson, and a statue erected to him at Lorient, FATAL AFFRAY AT BIRKENHEAD.—On Sunday evening, while a number of men were drinking at the Grapes Inn, kept by Mrs. Jones, in Bridge-street, Birkenhead, a quarrel took place between a stranger and a stonemason named Caine, and both men went out into the street, in order, as it is supposed, to settle their dispute by a fight. When out side, Caine was knocked down by the strange man, and was SO severely kicked about the head, and otherwise injured, that when he was picked up life was found to be extinct. The murderer effected his escape before the fatal result of the injuries - which he had caused could be ascertained. The Birkenhead police yesterday apprehended a man at the docks on suspicion , panredtise of he will be brought before the magis_ trates to-d ay . of theEA EAST T 4th oINDIAfIIIy wo COTT COTTON. -- The letters from Bombay t p a c r e t v t i he ex s deliv creel this morning, from which mail, cotton to Liverpool since depar turean increase ov er last which, it will b e seen with surpr i se , w sh e o e of r previous show Bombay to Liverpool for tae Yenr.Exports of co tt o n from ;fortnight ending th e 24th of 111ay :—.1862, 61,230 bale s Albion. 1801 , 57,597 bales.—,(Liverpool prepared results with respect to and this year it is esti mated at 110,800, while in 1836 it was only crease in 26 years Icing thus 45,800.

JliNB. • Curragh June 24 JULY. Bellewstown SEPTEMBER. Cnrragh Carlow Londonderry AQUATICS. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.—THE SCHOONER RACE. The annual schooner race of the above distinguished club has long been the great yachting feature of the metropolitan season, and that of yesterday was one of the most agreeable and interesting races ever witnessed, the excitement being kept up by repeated changes and spirit-stirring incidents ; added to which, the weather was most delightful for visi• tors, the sun after midday shedding its benign and cheering influence over the scene. The Prince of Wales steamer, chartered by the club, conveyed between four and five hun dred members of the club and their friends to view the race, in addition to which there were two steamers from the Woolwich Company and a large fleet of yachts accompany ing the match. The following were the entries : Shark .. 161 Galatea 131 Flying Cloud 75 Leonora 105 The first prize was value £lOO, the second £lO, and there was a quarter of a minute time per ton alloavA for difference of tonnage, but no time above 150 tons. The course was from Gravesend to the Mouse Light and back. The noble commodore, Lord Alfred Paget, ordered the first gun to be fired for the boats' crews to be in readiness at 91 minutes past 12, and the second to be off at 14 minutes past 12. At the time of the start there was a good breeze from the north-west; but as the evening advanced the wind height ened and blew all round the compass. The Flying Cloud made a beautiful start. She was first round and under canvas; the Leonora was second. The Shark rather heavy, but her position was the worst of the fleet; nor was the Galatea's a good place. The Shark, from her superiority of tonnage, was generally considered the favourite; but it was whispered that the Flying Cloud, with her allowance of tonnage, would be found a most formidable opponent, anti so she turned out without reference to the time scale at all. The Flying Cloud was hardly round before she set her umintopsail, in which she was immediately followed by the Leonora, who also got up her foretopsail. The Flying Cloud entered the Hope first, and immediately greatly im proved her lead, and they all stood well down to below the battery, where they had to go about, and made four or five boards, during which the powers of the Flying Cloud to - windward were proved to be admirable. The Shark, though somewhat hampered at first, got the second place in the Hope, and when she entered Sea Reach her superior powers began to tell upon the Plying Cloud, and she was gradually overhauling her. At the Chapman Head the Flying Cloud led by about a hundred yards ; next to her was the Shark, then the Leonora, and next the Galatea. 1 _ The latter drew upon her off Leigh, and after a very pretty race, passed her into the third place. While this was occurring an equally smart race was going on between the Flying Cloud and the Shark, only a few hundred yards a-head, which developed considerable nautical skill. The Shark tried to pass her to windward, but the Captain of the Flying Cloud resisted the operation, but in a few minutes afterwards the Shark quickly passed under her lee off Shoebury. The boats were close-hauled from this point down to the Light, but the Shark standing too far over to the southward, the Flying Cloud keeping a good course and going very close to the wind, neared the Mouse in ad vance of her. There was also a fine race, and one of the closest we ever saw between the Shark and the Galatea. The latter had reached past the Leonora off Southend, and not going anything like so far to the southward,came abreast of the Shark at the moment of rounding, and they turned together, the one literally covering the other, and forming as beautiful a picture as could well be conceived, The rounding was in the following time and order: — h. m. s.

The Flying Cloud won the fiist prize, and the Lenora the second, and they were presented by Lord Alfred Paget respectively to Count Batthany and Mr. Hesketh, with a very well-merited compliment upon both for the sailing of their yachts, and the victory of Count Batthany in so small a vessel. At 10 o'clock last night Prince Napoleon, accom panied by Count Flahault and two other gentlemen, entered the gallery of the House of Commons in which foreign Ministers usually sit when they attend its discussions. The Prince remained until one o'clock, and during his stay Mr, Disraeli, Mr. Cobden, and Lord IL Lennox went up to the gallery and °gunned with him. T' 711 E ROYAL AGRICUL TURAL SHOTV. The annual show of the Royal Agricultural Society of , England opened yesterday in Battersea-park, where the preliminary arrangements have been for some time in pro gress, and, so far as the aspect of the ground is concerned, apparently with complete success. • The exhibition, as is usual, comprises agricultural im plements, machines, and other articles for farm purposes, seeds, roots, manures, &e., for the inspection of which by the public it will continue open until the 2d of July. It is disided into three distinct compartments—viz., machinery, machinery in motion, and cattle. The first two only were thrown open yesterday; the opening of the last is fixed for Wednesday. The whole cover an area of about 30 acres, of which some four acres are devoted to the ma chinery in motion, the other portion being about equally eivided between machimry and cattle, the length of " shed ding" appropriated to the former being about 11 mile, and that appropriated to the latter about 11 mile. The grand entrance to the ground is on the south sie•c, whet a visitors pass through a turnstile upon the " tell- t ile" principle. The sheds run in long ranges behind this open arca (on which it, is proposed to have a military band), with an ample space between for light, ventilation, and the passage of spectators, and with a wide central opening of aisles sepa rating them into two great divisions. With the exception of one shed, which is devoted to "seeds and roots," they are filled with farming machines and implements of every con ceivable description, every department being carefully clas sified, and every class embracing a variety of develop ment and detail perfectly bewildering. Nothing is absent that can by any possibility be connected with agriculture — from the huge steam plough to the pitchfork, from the patent metal pig -stye to the patent sausage-chopper. Every exhibitor has his name conspicuously displayed at his stand, and the eye successively rests on the well-known names of Ransome, Tuxford, Crosskill, Clayton, Shuttle worth, Garrett, Fowler, and others, eminent as agricul tural machinists and engineers. The arrangements of the various sheds was only finally effected on Saturday night—in fact a few articles were ad mitted this morning ; and while this renders it im possible, in a hasty preliminary notice, to dwell upon the particular merits of individual exhibitors, it is also impos sible to avoid doing justice to the all but absolute air of completion which prevailed throughout the sheds when they were thrown open to the public. In point of variety, and perhaps of novelty, the present show is vastly superior to any previous one ; and there can be no doubt that from the ready access to its site, the number of visitors this year will greatly exceed that of any former year. The area appropriated to the "Machinery in Motion" department, unlike that of the "Machinery," presented yr, s- terday a rather rough and somewhat unready appearance. There was no lack of huge machines upon the ground, and hore and there the eye detected the rapid revolutons of a fly wheel, or the ear the buzzing rush of a revolving strap ; but generally the attendants seemed to be employed in get ting tap the steam, or turning the last screw, or putting in the last pin. To-day, no doubt, everything will be in due order, and the machinery in motion department per fect in its way, and more than sufficiently puzzling to the non-practical eye. It has been stated already that the cattle department will not open till Wednesday. Into this department a novel feature has been this year introduced, viz., the ex hibition of foreign stock (there is no foreign ma chinery), and although the quantity thus added to the exhibition will not be very considerable, it will certainly attract a considerable amount of attention from British connoisseurs, as well as from those to whose lot it falls to adjudicate the prizes. Most of the cattle ex pected from abroad have already arrived, but only a very small proportion of the native contributions to this depart ment is at present on the grouod. This day was be devoted to arrangement and classification ; to-morrow, Wednesday, the prizes will be adjudged to the best speci mens of each special and distinct class; and the cattle yard will on that day be thrown open, the charge for admission being one guinea. 10 11( . 1 118 )0 11l 113 )0 1 104 106 )0 107 109 97 99 !UST. :MBER.

WE CAPTURE OF THE CIRCASSIAN, A correspondent of a contemporary writes as The facts are these :—I, with the rest of the officers and part of the crew of the steamship Cir cassian, joined her in London to go thence to Car diff and afterwards to Bordeaux, and there await orders as to our final destination. _ On onr arrival at Bordeaux we were informed that our vessel was to proceed to Havannab, after taking in a general cargo for that place. The goods (consisting chiefly of wine and spirits) were accordingly shipped, and we proceeded on our voyage, and, after touching at St. Thomas's for coal, we had arrived to within about 30 miles of Havannah, and were at the same time not more than seven miles from the coast of Cuba at 9 a.m. of the 4th of May last, when we discovered an American war steamer approaching us from the offing. On nearing us, after asking us our name, " Where from and where bound ?" and receiving in reply our name, ports of departure, and destination, we were ordered to " heave-to" and stop until they should search us, this of der being, as we considered, in direct violation of the right of search. We still con tinued our course, with the English ensign flying. On our persisting on our course, which still was and always had been direct for the harbour of Havan nah, the American steamer (the Somerset, Captain English) immediately commenced firing, first a blank shot and then live shells from her rifled guns in quick succession, which burst in all directions, luckily wounding but one man slightly, but doing a good deal of injury to our rigging, &c., the whole of the port side of the fore shrouds being completely shot away. We then, in order to save life and further damage to the ship (being completely unarmed), hove-to, on which they ceased firing, and sent a boat on board, well manned and armed. They then examined our papers, but finding them correct, commenced broach ing and examining our cargo, and although they found nothing contraband of war, they took posses sion of the ship and cargo in the name of the Pre sident of the United States, assigning no reason whatever for so doirig. After taking possession of the ship they sent more men, heavily armed, and a number of Marines on board, who were drawn up on the quarter-deck, and ordered to " load with ball cartridge," and " fix bayonets," which being done they hauled the English ensign down and hoisted the American flag in its place, at which the crew of the Somerset commenced cheering vociferously, in honour of their daring achievement. Half of our crew were then ordered on board the Somerset, and we were taken in tow by her to Key West, where we remain still. t from A few days after our arrival here a boa and the Somerset came alongside with more men wbo Marines (at about 8 o'clock in the .evening), immediately were pl aced as sentric h a i to ei a n ll ourr cabins, those officer s of our ownp g b quired to remain on deck, where they s happened to be when they placed the sentries, and we were one by one ordered to accompany an officer and two Marines to each of our c ains, which were then minutely searched, and all our private letters and papers seized, and have not yet been' returned. The Commodore, having arrived in the mean time, ordered our crew, who were prisoners on board the Somerset, to be sent back to the Cir cassian, and the English ensign to be once again hoisted. I have further to add that on our arrival here the ca ptain re peatedly asked p erm i ss i on to go on shore to the English Consul, but was each time refused, and we had not the benefit of his advice and coun• sel until we had been in the pert three days. We are requested to state that the band of the Corps of Commissionaires will play this and every other evening in St. James's Park, from 7 till 8.45 p.m., until further notice. DETERMINED SUICIDE OF MR. JUSTICE KEAT ING's CLERK. — Yesterday morning, shortly before seven o'clock, the greatest excitement was created in the neigh bourhood of Lorrimore-road, Kennington Park, by the rumour that a gentleman had destroyed his life at his resi dence. No. 1, Lansdowne-terrace, and unfortunately this was but too true. From inquiries made it would appear that the deceased, Mr. Philip Colgrove, aged forty years, was clerk to Sir H. Keating, one of the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas, in which capacity he had been some time employed, and was highly respected. He was heard to rise at his usual time, about six o'clock, but on the servant gi,l, nearly an hour afterwards, going into the washhouse, she was horrified to behold her unfortunate master hanging to the raf ers. She at once gave an ala pr, rm, when several persons rushed in and cut him down. Nott, of the Lucas-road, was quickly la attendance, but gave his opinion that life had been extinct upwards of an hour. So determined had the deceased been that he fa n fastened the cord, which was quite new, three times around his neck, with a running noose, the end being strongly tte to one of the rafters. He must :have then got upon a stool, kicking it from under him, as it was found thrown over. The unfortunate gentleman has resided in the same house for ten years, and leaves behind him a wife and four young children, one of whom is but a few months old. Infor mation was at once forwarded to Mr. Cooke, the coroner's officer, and no cause at present qui be ascertained for the dreadful act, 7 HE IVAL. The great musical event of the year which, vac :her in respect to its fine art—or even national if__- portance—ranks second only to the more prutAit-;41 display of the Exhibition—the triennial Handel Festival waa inaugurated yesterday under cii- cumstances of the most favourable and gratifying character. The weather, which in the morning had been very chilly and foreboding, as the day advanced seemed to grow ashamed of its ill humour and perverseness, and at length broke away into one of the finest days which we have had for several weeks, lighting up faces and land scape with a congenial glow of brightness. Accordingly the expected crowds were soon seen to begin assembling at the railway stations, :Ind by twelve o'clock the Crystal Palace was assuming a very lively and elegant appearance. On reaching our scat, the first thing that struck us was, of course, the improvement in the orchestra, which. is now. rcofed over with a handsome dome, in order to com pact and throw out the sound, instead of being covered by its old sail cloth, which, to a great extent, absorbed it. This addition, which is un questionably a great musical advantage, doss not, at the same time, abate from the general im pression of the transept. It gives a proscenium in the form of a handsome ellipse, is colored through out a delicate blue, with some ornamentation in the centre of a light amber tint, and has altogether a very elegant and airy appearance. There seems to us another improvement of which the transept is still capable, and that is an enclosure of its sides by a light wooden partition during such occasions as the present, the effect of which would be to create a perfect Hall, that certainly in space and elegance, if not acoustic propertieF, would be one of the finest in the world. The enlarged dimen- sions of the choir at the present festival furnishes another and distisctive feature of this attractive celebration. Three years since, it will be remem bered the band and chorus amounted to some 3,500 members. ~ They are now augmented to 4,000 (the new members, we believe, being taken from London societies), being the largest musica force ever assembled in this country, and we aro inclined to think also in Europe. The solo performers on this occasion were, of course, worthy of its importance. They included with one exception only—Madame Goldschmidt— the very first talent of the day in connection with sacred music—Madame Titiens, Madame SF in ton Dolby, and Mademoiselle Parepa, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Weiss, and Signor Belletti. Of the execution of the " Messiah," with which the festival opened, we may say, in general terms, that it was one of the very finest that has ever been heard in England, whilst in re spect to the solo music, having so recently noticed its principal singers at Exeter Hall, we have no occasion to do more than say that they were all in excellent voice, and renewed their claim to all the eulogies which we then so cordially bestowed on them. As respects the choruses—in every requisite of time, sentiment, and artistic treatment—we have never heard them more happily given ; whilst, at the same time, we confess the improvement caused by the addition to the orchestra was rather in respect to an increased clearness [and fineness of tone, ;than to any very perceptible increase of force. They were given with an energy as well as precision which it would have been quite impossible to sur pass, and yet we confess we were not sensible ofpro founder impressions than they created three years since. However, whether the improved orchestra or numbers have added to their force or not, there can be no question as to the superb quality and artistic cha racter of their delivery, or the sense of gran deur which their masses of sound must have raised in the souls of the most indifferent. We shall allude but to those which especially impressed us as the most suce-2ssful. These were, in the first part-- " For unto us a child is born," sang with immense fire and precision ; " Glory to God in the highest ;" and " ills yoke is ersy," which wore ooh as ani mated and vigorous as they were artistically varied. In the second part, the " All we like sheep" was a most masterly performance; " The Lord gave the word" had a vigour that was unsurpassable ; whilst the unapproachable Hallelujah," it is only justice to say, was never rendered with more majesty. The choruses of the concluding portion were all of the same superior character. Of the solo performers, es wo have already noticed, Madame Dolby, Air. Sims Reeves, and Signor Belletti, so recently, we can only renew the praise which they then so entirely merited. The great novelty of this per formance, and, we may add its great solo feature, we need scarcely say, was Madame Titiens, whose recent successful entrance into the field of sacred music, so worthily enlarged the public estimate of her sympathies and talents. Madame Titiens may be safely pronounced as the only successor of Clara Novello in this field of lyric exposition, and not more entitled to this distinction by the unequalled character of her voice than the pro found feeling, taste, and reverence which she th dise plays in its employment. Her execution of d two great airs, " How beautiful a re. the feet" an "I know that my Redeemer liveth," were successes so perfect of their kind, so true in expression, E 0 rich in tone, so impressive in sentiment, co 'a e nd. enrapturing in melody, that w and. 9despa:oef our comm nv 3 - ing their effect by an y words at We were told on leaving the Palace that the num bers present v_ 71IE AMERICAN HARVEST.

T issue of £30,000,000 of i nconver tibl e p a p e r was expected to be speedily authorised, and mean while the question as to the probability of the Tax Bill being passed this session seems scarcely to ex cite the slightest interest. The proposal introduced by the Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs in the House of Representatives, for an en largement of the canals to enable vessels of war, in contravention of the spirit of the existing treaties with Great Britain, to reach the lakes, so as to place that frontier " beyond the reach of foreign aggres sion, and effectually relieve it from further menace or insult" appeared to be much more popular. A return of the stocks and specie held in the banks and sub-treasury on the Ist of June showed the total to be £7,680,000, against £11,520, 0 0 0 on the Ist of June, 1861.
