MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. The annual meeting of proprietors of the Union Bank of Australia is convened for the 14th of July. A meeting of . the holders of Venezuela Bonds is convened for Friday next, to consider the proposals of Senor Nadal, the Fiscal Commissioner of the Republic, relating to the settlement of the old debt and to a new loan. In the foreign exchanges this afterhoon there was no variation of importance frog the rates of last post. - £144,000 in bar goliA was taken to the Bank to day. The exciter...tent in the Liverpool cotton-market is undiminsbed, and a further advance of between an( l , id. per lb. has been realized to-day. A despatch from Vienna states that the remainder of the Austrian Loan of 1860 (about £5,000,000) has been taken by three parties—namely, the Credit Bank, Baron Solomqn Rothschild, and a combina tion of Vienna and Frankfort houses. The form of stock in which this loan is constituted is not suit able for the London market, and therefore no por tion of it will be offered here, but the applications for it at Frankfort, Berlin, and elsewhere are stated to have been considerably in excess of the total amount, thus indicating a more hopeful feeling with regard to the future political course of the empire. The very large amount of dollars brought by the Mexican packet has been disposed of at 611 d. per ounce. This establishes an advance of id. on the price realized at the beginning of last month, although transactions to a considerable extent have been effected :in the interval at 611 d., 611-d., and 611 d. The bar silver and dollars by the Atrato are not yet sold. Owing to the death of Mr. W. T. Fraser, East India merchant, Great St. Helens, a circular has been issued to the creditors of the house, stating that the books have been placed in the hands of Mr. Kemp, the accountant, and that meanwhile negotiations are in progress for continuing the business. It is thought that the liabilities ulti mately to rank upon the estate will not exceed £30,000, and that, subject to realization, the assets will show a considerable surplus. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY . CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Gold is r. L ow about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Londo , : i than in Paris, but it is of about the same val:z ie here as in Hamburg.

The late heavy storm s of rain, with the high gales of the past fortnight, have had a rather disastrous effect on the growing hops, which have thereby received a severe check, many of the plants beginning to assume a sickly yellow appearance. Notwithstanding this, however, the hops in most of the plantations are still looking remarkably healthy, and in the less exposed situations are beginning to throw out their midsummer shoots. On the whole there is an absence of vermin, the plant being singularly clear for the time of the y ear. In comparison with the appearance of the hop Plantations a fortnight since, the plants are cer tainly less he althY; but some warm, genial weather would un do the mischief of the past few w ee k s. The hop market con tinues very %In, choicest Mid-Rents making as high as 130 s. per c wt., and S uss ex 100 8 . t o 110 s. The export of hops is still carr ie d on 0 aoonsiderable extent, upwards of 200 tons having been sen t ab road d uring the imports the week ending Saturday last, while duri ng the same per i o d were nil, QUITE A NOVELTY IN, POLITICAL ECONOMY.— Retrenchment by the Tories.—Punch.

SALE OF SPIRITS BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. W. FORSTER moved the following:—" That it be an instruction to the committee that they have power to extend the operation of the bill and of the act thereby amended, to the sale of beer, wine, and cider." After some discussion, the house divided — For the motion Against Majority The motion was ac3ordingly lost. On the first clause, which constituted the whole bill, Mr. W. MARTIN moved the following amendment: — "Page 2, line 11, leave out all after 'shall,' and insert ' be and the same is hereby repealed, so far only as relates to spirituous liquors sold to be consumed elsewhere than on the premises where sold, and sent to and delivered at the resi dence of the purchaser thereof in quantities not less at any one time than a reputed quart." _ _ After a short discussion, the clause, as amended, was agreed to, and the bill went through committee, after which the house resumed. CLERGY RELIEF BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. On clause 1, Mr. GRIFFITH moved the following amendment:— " Line 6, leave out " solemnly ," after " declare," leave out " that I conscientiously dissent from the doc trine and discipline of the Church of Eng land," and insert "that I desire to be relieved from any civil disabilities, disqualifications, restrictions, and prohibitions to which I may be now subjected as being in holy orders."

A STRANGE CHARGE OP FELONY.—AIice Rutland and Elizabeth Hamilton, two well-dressed females, were charged with robbing William Herbert Crombie Duffus, of Carlton chambers, Regent-street, of his breast pin, umbrella, &c. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoners. The prosecutor, a stylishly•dressed man, who said he was valet to Captain Callaghan, and whose mode of giving hia evidence was a bad imitation of " Lord Dundreary," said— I went with these ladies to Barnes's Supper-rooms, 5, Pan ton-street. I had in my scarf a pin worth £B. I don't want to give them in charge if they will give me my pin. It was Rutland who took the pin from my scarf. Mr. Tyrwhitt—lf you want them discharged, I'll do it. You can either give your evidence or not. Prosecutor—lt was on Thursday evening, and we had been to the London Pavilion. My friend saw her take it, and told her so. I saw her take it, upon my honour. It was my friend saw her take it. Mr. Lewis—First you say your friend saw her take it, and then that you saw her take it. Which do you mean ? Prosecutor—l wasn't sober then, but lam now. If you are not satisfied'you can go to Mr. Barnes. Martin, 86 C, said the prosecutor gave the prisoners in charge last night at the London Pavilion, whexe they were sitting quietly. The prosecutor first said one had robbed him and then the other. The prisoners were searched, but neither the pin nor umbrella was found. Mr. Tyrwhitt said there was not case enough to detain the prisoners, and discharged them. BRITISH. MINES. 'hilack) Al fred Consols British Iron , Clifford Devon G. Cone.

GROSS PERSONAL OUTRAGE AT THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.-Mr. John Butler, of 38, Anne's-place, Sloane-street, Chelsea, was charged with a violent and un provoked assault upon John Ross, a clerk, living at Forest hill. Complainant, who is evidently in a very weak and bad state of health, said that at 20 minutes to four yesterday afternoon he was in the annexe at the Exhibition, and had to pass between the defendant and a lady. Complainant had a cane under his arm, and being pressed very much toward the lady, to prevent coming in contact with her he passed close by the defendant, his cane pressing him as he did so. Defendant immediately came up and asked com plainant whether he had struck him, and immediately gave him a blow on the aide of the head with his clenched fist, which made the blood flow directly from his mouth. Mr. Arnold—What did you say when he asked if you had struck him P Complainant—Nothing. Ho gave me no time to reply before he struck me. Mr. George Bryan, of 33, Bedford -square, solicitor, cross examined the complainant without at all shaking his testi mony. Mr. Hartley Waddington, of 74, Old Broad-street, share dealer, said he was at the Exhibition. He saw the defendant walk up to the complainant, and heard him say, "Did you strike me," and before he could reply defendant struck him a blow on the mouth with his knuckles. The assault was totally unwarranted. _ _ _ Alfred Paine, of Queen Elizabeth-road, Horselydown, said the stick happened to touch the defendant, who then committed the assault as described. He too agreed that defendant did not give complainant time to answer before he struck him. John Dearing, 163 X, said that Ross gave the defendant in charge, and was at the time bleeding from the mouth. Defendant, when taken into custody, said he had asked the complainant whether he struck him with a stick, and he replied he did, when he gave him a smack in the mouth, that he might go and tell his brother Frenchman what an old Englishman could do. Mr. Bryan said that his client was a gentleman 72 years of age. He had felt some one strike him on the back, and seeing the complainant with a stick, enquired what he did that for, when he said he had, and, in the heat of the moment, defendant certainly- struck him an open-handed blow, which the defendant now certainly regretted. Com plainant's particular state of health made his mouth bleed with a very slight blow. Mr. Arnold asked if any expressions of regret had been made by the defendant to the complainant. Complainant said there had not. Mr. Arnold thought it would have been more creditable on the part of the defendant to have apologised for this un provoked assault, and to have made the complainant some pecuniary recompense, than to have instructed his solicitor to set up a false line of defence. As he, however, had not done this act of justice, he (Mr. Arnold) must deal with the matter, and he, therefore fined the defendant 505., or a month's imprisonment in default. VARIETIES. (From Fun.) LEGAL NOTES ADID MAXIMS. Under this head the reader, tired with the day's work in the garden, will find for his quiet evening perusal a few hints which may materially assist him in his dealings with his fellow-men. Firstly, it is a common saying that " an action will lie ;" but, bo it remembered, so also, very often, will the parties to it. A judge may " cause a writ of attachment to issue," even though he is not very fond of his children. There is such a thing as a " mandamus," but we never yet heard of a " womandamus ;" the latter is probably a fiction. The Third Baron of the Exchequer does not take rank with the Second Count of an indictment. Sheriffs' officers, as a rule, never go to church on Sun day, their reason being that " service on Sunda4 is a nullity." DISRAELI'S CHANT. Let us grab at whom we can, BRIGHT—" or any other man ;" Wear he black, or wear he drab, What's the odds so at him grab ?" " AR I ISN'T IT ?"—What a curious thing it is that of those who nightly go out on the loose, so large a number should come home quite tight I A POSER FOR FARADAY.—When the thermometer rises, we find the heat-drops. What Scotch sport is like ladies' conversation?—Dears talking. CAUSE AND EFFECT.—A lawyer's bill, Indignant Parent—" No money, sir ? Tailor dunning you, sir ? What do you mean? Why don't you put your shoulder to the wheel?" Incipient Swell (languidly)— ".Well, I would only it's so deuced muddy." QUITE TIGHT AT POUR O'CLOCK A.M. AT A. DRINKING FOUNTAIN:—" I shay, waiter, bring me a shlice o' sugar and a bit o' lemonsh." A DRUNKEN MAN'S SAFEST BET.—To lay on the field. A man who drinks himself to death can be said to " die mellow." Can you therefore trace any connexion between "melo•dy" and the heavy wet? - r SHIPPING-THIS DAY.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—Scarcely a day has passed this week without more or less rain, and con siderable apprehensions are beginning to be felt, especially for the potato crop, if the weather should continue as wet as it has been for some time past. The low state of tempera ture is also much dwelt upon as retarding the growth of the crops. On the whole, the country looks well ; and if warm, dry weather succeed the late rains, an abundant harvest may yet be calculated Ai. Haymaking has partially com menced in this diP_:,i c t.

A special general meeting of the shareholders in this company was held this day, at the London Tavern, to re ceive a report of the results of the voyage of the Great Easter n steamship to New York, and to consult on the financial position of thq company. W. Barber, Esq., oc cupied the chair. The report, which was read by the secretary, stated that the ship had sailed from Milford on the 7th of May with 31 cabin and 101 steerage passengers. The passage was performed in nine days sixteen hours in a highly satisfac tory manner. The return voyag e had been made from New York with 18 7 cabin and 210 stee ra ge passengers. All the passengers ha d been hi g hl y pleased with the ac commodation and performance of the vessel, and had held a meeting previous to quitting her, expressing their admira tion of her qualities, and the ability of her commander, Capt. Paton; and the directors asked the shareholders to provide the £I,OOO required at p resent. The CHAIRMAN s aid it would be gratifying to the share holders to learn that the s hi p had performed her voyage to New York paying her way, as after every charge had been paid from the earnings of the ship, there remained a balance of £317.95. 3d. in favour of the company. Every passenger had expressed the greatest confidence in the vessel a , a sea worthy boat, and bad given notice of their intention of using the vessel on her return to New York. It would be for the shareholders to say whether she was to continue running to New York, or whether she should proceed elsewhere. The Great Eastern had had to struggle with the greatest pecuniary liabilities, but he was rejoiced to say that the directors had to a gt eat extent overcome those difficulties, and he hoped the proprietors wauld supply the £4,000 which the board of directors had been empowered to raise. The ship was now in a condition which might be described as perfect, and as a natural consequence there would be no expense in getting her ready for her next voyage. He believed that the reputation of the ship was fast becoming settled, and that was that she was a ship of the greatest capability, and the ultimate results could but be highly favourable. Mr. JACKSON asked what was the amount of the capital of the ship in £1 shares, the amount of the preference stock, and the indebtedness of the company. The CHAIRMAN° said the capital in £1 shares was £303,000, the preference stock amounted to £lOO,OOO, and tho indebtedness to .C 56,000, which would be raised to £60,000 when the £4,000 required was taken up. Mr. JACKSON said the company was in a fair way of re turning to the proprietors all the money that had been laid out on her, and if one of the shareholders, with whom he had often differed, would come forward with his £l,OOO, he (Mr. Jackson) would do the same, and thus the sum re quired would be easily raised. The report was then carried unanimously. Mr. JACKSON said he perceived that the ship was adver tised for two more voyages, They had beaten the crack ships on the station by 12 hours, and, during the gale, such was the steadiness of their ship, that one gentleman continued writing letters in his cabin, whilst the ladies amused themselves with the piano and playing chess. He thought it would be good policy ;if the vessel was advertised for another voyage in October, as by that means facilities would be afforded for a great number of persons to return to America after the close of the Exhibition. The CHAIRMAN said Captain Paton was then present, and he would be happy to give every information:respecting the ship. Capt. PATON said he had the greatest pleasure in meet ing the shareholders of the Great Eastern, for certainly he never in all his experience commanded a more splendid and seaworthy vessel than theirs. In the midst of the most adverse weather experienced during the voyage, she ran at a speed of 11} knots. (Hear, hear.) He thought if the directors were to advertise the ship for any number of trips, the public would avail themselves of her for crossing the Atlantic. The CHAIRMAN said the adoption of the report was all the business before them, without the gentlemen present wished to continue the financial consultation by subscrib ing the £4,000 required. Mr. JACKSON said he would start the list by putting down his name for £l,OOO. Alderman Ross said he would give the name of a gen tleman for another £l,OOO. (Hear, hear.) A number of the shareholders then sent in their names for various amounts, amongst them being Mr. Tuthill, £500; Mr. Bold, £100; Mr. Smith, £5O ; Mr. Samuels, £2O ; and Mr. Lingard, £lO. The CHAIRMAN said he would take the whole of the re mainder, but he would readily give way to any of the share holders if they should desire to take up any of the amount. A vote of thanks and confidence was then given to the directors, which terminated the proceedings. VOLUNTEER REVIEW AT BRISTOL.
