MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Rather more activity has prevailed in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days, and in some instances a slight improvement has taken place in values. Tea continues dull, but at steady prices ; the intelligence by the China mail being of a most decided character was calcu lated to make an improved demand and also to sti mulate prices, but no material alteration has taken place, owing to the numerous and ill-advised public sales. A large quantity was offered without reserve, which effectually checked purchases, at former prices, on the part of the trade. Sugars have been in rather more demand, and the better qualities have slightly advanced. For coffee there has been a fair inquiry, and fine colony plantation Ceylon has improved. The demand for rice has diminished, but late rates are sustained. The proba bility of a cessation of the war in Italy has caused less demand for saltpetre, and prices have given way to a slight extent. Tallow continues very in and a further decline has taken place both for present and future delivery. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday con tinued very active, and prices of all descriptions advanced -Id. per lb. The sales were estimated at 10,000 Vales. In Railway Shares a rather eaten hive business was transacted, and quotations Were firmer. At the Bank of England, yesterday, there were no bullion operations of importance. The half-yearly. interest on Buenos Ayres 6 per Cent. Bonds became payable to-day. The Sultan, from the Peninsula, has been an licnineed this morning, with £6,534 in specie. The demand for money to-day is very limited, and the market exhibit a quiescent appearance. On the 19th inst., another payment has to be made in connection with the Indian Loan, but• it has no doubt been provided for, and will consequently exercise some little influence upon the inquiry for accommodation. The settlements at the Stock Exchange may temporarily increase the demand in that department of business, but loans upon Government Securities are still obtainable at nomi nal quotations. The half-yearly meeting of the London and Greenwich Railway Company was held to-day, J. Wilson, Esq., in the chair, when a dividend of ss. 6d. per share was declared. Although prices on the whole are well maintained there is rather less buoyancy in the market for Public Securities to-day. Towards the close of . business yesterday a partial reaction oc curred, and the quotations now appear rather heavy, but Consols, which have been 2911 are still quoted 951 1,, show ing , that th e i mprovement is still sustained There is rather less speculative business, but a fair number of transfers is recorded, which tends to en liven the market. Bank Stock is steady, at 2201 to 222.; the New Threes and the Reduced, at 95:11; and Exchequer Bills, at 245. to 275. prem, ; India Stock is firmer, at 217 to 219, and the Scrip re mains at 941 e. A fair amount of business has been transacted in Foreign Securities, and prices generally are well supported. Turkish 6 per Cents., are 79 to 81 ; ditto, New, 68 to 69 ; and the 4 per Cents. are steady at 1031 ; Mexican, at 181 d ; and Sardinian, at 841. Belgian 4 per Cents, have advanced to 99 ; Dutch 4 per Cents., to 100 ; Venezuelan 21 per Cents., to 281 ; and Peruvian 3 per Cents., to 69 ; but Spanish Deferred is flat at 311. Business in the Railway Share Market has been rathe r more active, but a decline of about 1, to per cent. has taken place in values. Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Western, South Western, Midland and North-Eastern (Berwick), have de clined 55..; Eastern Counties, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and South Eastern, 10s. ; Great ,Western, 155., and Norfolk, The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have showa little 'variation of importance. Lombardo- Venetian Old Shares are dealt in at 10 and 101, and the New at 9 1 10. Great Western of Canada are steady at 15Z.; East Indian at 1021 103 Z ; and Great Indian Peninsula at 981 991. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are at slightly improved values. Provincial of Ireland have advanced 10s, ; Ottoman Bank, 15s. ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 10s. ; and Red Sea Telegraph, ss. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

Consols, Money and Account 951 4 COLOURED MEN TRADING TO AFRICA. qr. The brig, Eusebia, N. Roye, master and owner, cleared yesterday at our Custom-house, and will sail to-day for Monrovia and a market, with a full cargo •of such merchandise as is in chief request among the citizens of Liberia. Captain Roye is a colouredinan, and a citizen of the Liberian Repub lic, where he has held several public offices, ameng which were those of Senator and Speaker. of the House of Representatives. He emigrated to Africa in 1846 from Ohio, where he was born and educated. He is a graduate of the Ohio University at Athens, and entitled, by his intelligence and manners, to be ranked as an accomplished gentleman. He did not go to Liberia under the influence of any society, political or philanthropic, but through his personal conviction that men of his colour would find it easier there than here to take such position as their character and talents ought to command. His residence in Liberia was not without its priva tions, but led eventually to no disappointment. Two years ago Capt. Roye purchased the Eusebia, for the purpose cf engaging in trade between Mon rovia and New York. lie has made with her two round trips, and he now starts upon the third. The brig is 206 tons burden, Custom-house measure ment. Her mate and her sailors, three in number, are whites. The articles of commerce usu all brought by the Eusebia are camwood, Pa m oil, and i v o r y. C a pt a i n R oye so ld his last cargo for 19,500 dols. cash, and at a satis factory profit. Besides the Eusebia, there is in the Liberian trade one other vessel—the bark Mendi— owned and managed by coloured men. Encouraged by Capt. Roye's example, those parties have char tered and conditionally purchased the Mendi. She sailed on her first voyage about a month ago. These enterprises deserve notice aside from any commercial importance attaching to them. They are interesting as showing the capability of coloured men to establish a profitable trade with Liberia, to own and manage ships, and thus to give to their own colony position and consideration among commercial communities. Capt. Roye, while doubtless acting for his own private advantage, like other business men, is really contributing in the most effectual manner to the elevation of his race in the respect and good opinion of mankind. It is as an incident of general business rather than as the result of direct philanthropic effort that beneficent changes in the condition of nations are usually wrought out. --New York Times, June 25. Telegrams from St. Petersburg announce heac - ).- /less in the market for produce, in c onsequence of the pacific news • The exchange on London was quoted as a further Slight advance, ,owing probably to the fresh shipments of gold to this sidq.

SPORTING NOTES. THE TWO JULY MEETINGS. Really the racing affairs at Newmarket are look ing up. Instead of the meagre list which was formerly issued. for the July meeting—instead of people, as on previous anniversaries of the meeting, having to toil through the sun to the other side of the ditch to very little purpose beside that which actuated the King iof France and his 30,000 men —" to walk up the hill and then come down again ;" they had an object to attain in mak ing the excursion, for they found ample employ ment and amusement provided for them ; even old Sol came out to enjoy the amusement, and literally and figuratively, made it intensely "hot" for all parties. Bookmakers pursued their calling with their accustomed animation, but by the end of the meeting they must have been several pounds lighter both in body and in purse. Fuller Andrews was the sole occupant of his own ring which, by mutual consent, was abandoned, and the betting business was carried on under the pleasant shade of the trees on the opposite side of the course. Neither did we have many visitors to the subscription-room in the evening ; turfites, gentleman andprofessional, assembling:in small groups in the cool air outside the room, the gathering retained its select character, many of the principal members of the Jockey Club being present, whilst several bookmakers reserved themselves exclusively for Worcester. With the exception of the two-year-old races, the sport presented few incidents for comment. On paper the July Stakes seemed reduced to a match between Trovi.tore and Madame Eglantine. To see the former run, Mr. J. Merry had arrived ex pressly from Glasgow, and according to the line furnished by Thormanby at Epsom,.he considered that he should first do the filly. The partisans of the cherry jacket were, however, firm in their alle giance, and capped so assiduously to Madame that she was made first favourite. One of those glorious uncertainties which mark the Turf destroyed their hopes, and upset the calculations of the Merry-men. Madame Eglantine was very fretful and impatient, and required a good deal of coaxing to make her join her horses; she was led to the post by . G. Manning, who loosened his hold the moment the flag fell, when the mare instantly whipped round, and, to the consternation of her backers, was left behind. The race from the first was confined to High Treason and Trovatore, the former proving that the great reputation which preceded hid inglorious exhibition at York had some foundation in fact, by the style in which he defeated Mr. Merry's colt. High Treason is a fine, good-looking animal, albeit, like all the Mildews, he is unable to stay. He was decidedly third favourite; his principal supporter, who took 10 and 12 to 1 about him,. being the noble lord whose recent liberal donation to the Newmarket Race Fund has just been acknowledged by the Jockey Club. The easy success of Buccaneer for the Chesterfield caused his elevation to the premiership for the Derby. His pretensions must, however, be more severely tested before I can place implicit faith in him for the Epsom event. Seclusion was all "off," and this fact her owner publicly declared before the race-- a most praiseworthy example, which I fear will have few followers. Mr. Topham allows no circumstance to diminish the energy which he exerts to provide an attrac tive programme for the Liverpool July Meeting. His efforts are not fully appreciated by the Liver poolians, who witness the result of his labours with pleasure, but who refuse to contribute to the race fund. Mr. Topham has the entire pecuniary re sponsibility of the undertaking on his own shoul ders; in addition to a heavy rental and enormous taxcs, he has to find every farthing of the added money to the different stakes. If, however, he' charges an extra shilling or two for admission to the Grand Stand, racing men, who share the chief advantages of the campaign, most un reasonably grumbled at being called upon to supply something towards carrying on the war. The list for the three days comprises twenty items ; for the Nursery Plate eighteen are handicapped, Madrid and Mr. Barber's nominations seeming as worthy of consideration as any thing. Should the Lady Mary colt and Bankrupt show for the Bentinck Testimonial they shall command my confidence. For the Croxteth Handicap the two top weights, Katherine Logic and Master Bagot are most to my fancy. The Mersey Stakes lie between Emily and Rattlebone ; the Corinthian Welter Cup, a new item in the programme, may be won by either Lifeboat or Zuyder Zee. Speculation on the Liverpool Cup has been very unsettled, and is not likely to be resumed in earnest until the numbers are placed on the telegraph board. If Royal Sove reign possesses a tithe of that merit which it was asserted he had before the Chester Cup, he surely ought to win ; and, in coupling him with Paul I do not thi n k I h ave made a bad selection to represent my interest, but The Ancient Briton can run when he likes, and it is just possible he may pop his head in first. Should Summerside and ACtieoll meet for the Liverpool St. Leger th e raw) will be somewhat in teresting. My partiality is for the mare. A FRESH MAN.

TAT TERSALL'S.-MONDAY. There was very little betting, and the Liverpool Cup was enveloped in mystery. Bto 1 was offered on the field, Royal Sovereign being nominally the favourite, although it was difficult to determine which was the favourite in reality, or whether there was a favourite at all. At the close some mdisposition was manifested to back Newcastle. The quotations on the Goodwood Sakes are principally made up from "offers." Union Jack was in some demand for the Goodwood Cup, and several investments were made on Loiterer for the Derby at 50 to 1. LIVERPOOL CUP.

HENLEY ROYAL REGATTA. FIRST DAY. The two days' meeting at Henley, unquestionably the greatest rowing regatta in the kingdom, com menced yesterday, with a programme of the most interesting and attractive character, in which crews from the Universities of Oxford and' Cambridge, the London, and other rowing clubs, were included. The intense heat of the last few days was tempered with a beautiful breeze from the south, and the assemblage of visitors in the grand stand on the bridge, in the meadows, and elsewhere, was greater than it has been for years past, and included the principal nobility and gentry for miles round. The arrangements reflected great credit upon the stewards and committee.

The Grand Challenge Cup is always considered the greatest event in the regattas, and recent cir cumstances had imparted to it on this occasion a greater degree of interest than heretofore. It will bo remembered that in the University race at Easter the Cantabs were swamped through the roughness of the weather, and the Oxonians won. The London Rowing Club had the Berks side. Their opponents the Oxon. At the instant of starting, the Oxonians drew a slight front, but in the course of a few strokes their opponents were level with them, and then a most beautiful race followed, in which dif ferences of opinion existed for the first half mile as to which really led. Just above Rememham, the Londoners began to draw slightly, and inch by inch, at a fine pace. The race was nobly disputed up to the Poplars, where the Londoners, drawing a little further in advance, had their coxswain about level with the stroke in the Oxford boat. A more rapid push at this moment increased the lead of the Londoners slightly, and they went in winners by a trifle less than their own length, the boats never having been clear during the whole race. TILE DISTRICT GOBLETS FOR PAIR OARS. Giles and Sergeant Crouch' and Cobb Won easily ; the losers trying how much water there was between the island and the bridge. VISITORS' CHALLENGE CUP.—The Third Trinity Cambridge walked over for this race, confined to college crews and the schools of Eton and West minster. THE SILVER GOBLETS FOR PAIR OARS. Warre and Arkell (Oxford) .. 1 Casamajor and Paine The Londoners with the Berks shore took a fine lead, but were unable to retain it, their opponents soon coming up, passing them, and winning easily; the other pair being much distressed, but rowing with their wonted game.

Their oppo nents took a lead at a rapid pace, but off Rememham the Kingston men began to overhaul them, and shot by them off the Poplars, although the Lon doners made some desperate efforts to get in front. Won by three-quarters of their own length. THE DIAMOND CHALLENGE SCULLS AND SILVER PRES EN- TATION CUP. Brickwood (Richmond) W. H. Playford (London) Beaumont (Cambridge) 0 Mr. Playford was on the Berks side, Mr. Brick wood, Oxon, and Beaumont in the middle. It was a very fair race, in which the unquestionable game of Mr. Playford was tested to the very utmost. He rowed desperately under the Poplars, where ho be came so thoroughly exhausted that he could pull no more, and was taken ou t of his boat . Mr. Brick wood, who was at that time nearly a length astern, went on and won. Mr. Beaumont rowed a very game race, and was again and again close upon Mr. Playford, but steered indifferently, and at last rowed somewhat carelessly. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

On Satur day it was generally known and believed that the last Royal inspection of the troops this season took place on that day, and that yesterday was to be devoted to visiting the new encampment at Wool mer Forest. This arrangement, however, was al tered, and her Majesty drove out and inspected the camp at Woolmer on Sunday afternoon, while yes terday morning was devoted to a parade inspection and review of all the camp Cavalry and Horse Ar tillery in the Long Valley. The hour fixed for her Majesty to be on the ground was as early as half past nine, and this, with the complete ignorance on the part of the public that any review was in • tended, effected the desired object of keeping, off the sight-seers. Of one thing, however, we may assure our readers who are given to military spec tacles of this kind, that they lost nothing by their absence on this occasion, for the clouds of dfist ren dered the review as totally invisible to those on the ground as if it had taken place in the Curragh of Kildare. The Cavalry paraded soon after eight o'clock, and at once proceeded in long winding lines across'the heath to the intended scene of action. At this time the heat was intense, and promised to become still worse, and, though the cavalry regiments moved slowly, and kept as much apart as possible, yet a foretaste of what the review was likely to be was given in the volume of dense black peat dust raised by every troop and squadron till the heath itself was obscured and the horizon darkened as with a thunder-cloud. Precisely to the minute, at half-past nine, her Majesty, accompanied by the Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, and other members of the Royal Family, and attended by a most brilliant staff, quitted the pavilion. Her Majesty rode the same charger and wore the same half-military riding-dress as on Saturday. Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the Duke of Cam bridge were all in foil uniform. The Royal cortege passed at once across the heath to the Long Valley. where the troops were drawn up in one magnificent line of cavalry ex tending upwards of a mile and a quarter in length. The Heavy Brigade, consisting of the Ist Life Guards, and 4th and sth Dragoon Guards, were on the right. The centre was occupied by three troops of Horse Artillery, with 18 guns. On the left were the Light Brigade of three regiments—the 10th, 11th, and 15th Hussars. As her Majesty came upon the ground the whole force saluted, the bands playing " God Save the Queen." Her Majesty then minutely inspected each regiment, riding along the front of the whole line—a ceremony which occupied more than half an hour, after which the cortege returned to the head of the Long Valley, while the whole force rode past in troops at slow time. This manoeuvre was beautifully executed. Each troop and battery rode by with the steadiness and evenness of a wall, and, once past the Queen, wheeled round with the rapidity of light ning, and reformed in squadrons and brigades upon the plain. Slight as these movements were, they quite sufficed to show that "seeing" a review would be out of the question. The dust was in solid banks, which hid everything; and only at very rare intervals, and after the troops had been some time stationary, could the helmets of the Dragoons and Life Guards be discerned above the cloud, glit- tering in the broiling sun like points of fire. The dust and the heat, which had reached a do. gree of intensity rarely felt in England, made many imagine that the review would not take place. After a sort interval, however, her Majesty moved to a hill overlooking the valley from the south, and the troops were then rapidly mancevred, though with what effect it is almost impossible to say, for beyond one or two movements, when the troops par tially emerged from the clouds of hot sand in the valley, everything was totally invisible to spectators and performers alike. The first manoeuvre, and, as it happened, the best and most impressive, was plainly seen from the south side of the valley, and this was one grand charge of the entire force. The six regiments, with the three troops of Artillery, formed a line that completely filled the valley, which they tra versed from end to end with the speed of lightning. and with a rush apparently as resistless as the sweep of destiny. The light and heavy brigades then apparently charged alternately, retiring through the intervals of each other's squadrons with astonishing rapidity. Two or three times, also, the Horse Artillery ca ne into action, with a rapidity and vigour of !ire that, as coming from only 18 guns, was something perfectly astounding. The whole review lasted little more than an hour, for by that time the sun was at its fiercest, and the heat on the heath was unendur able. A little before one her Majesty returned to the Pavilion again and partook of lunch. Soon after 3 o'clock the Queen and the whole of the Royal family left the camp in open pony carriages, and, escorted by a detachment of Light Dragoons, proceeded at once to the Farnborough station, whence the party were conveyed pot- Royal train to Gosport. Throughout these Royal reviews it is but fair to state that the railway arrangements of the South- Western have been admirably well calculated for the convenience of the public. lIER MAJESTY AT ALDERSHOTT, RECENT WILLS AND BEQ UESTS. The will of the - Right Hon. Georgiana Dorothy, Countess of Carlisle, late of Castle Howard, in the county of York, was proved on the 15th of June, and probate granted to the Right Hon.

The estimates of the " Civil Services" for the year ended the 31st of March, 1860, were printed yesterday. They are divided into six branches :- No. 1, " Public Works and Buildings," figures for £808,844, including 61,988 for Royal palaces, £122,740 for public buildings, £28,000 for the furniture of public offices, £123,747 for Royal parks and gardens, £58,525 for the new }reuses of Parliament, £29,130 for the Probate Court, &c., £5,390 for the repairs of Embassy-hc.uses abroad, £lO,OOO for the Consulate at Comtan tinople, £174,000 for harbours of refuge, £BO,OOO for Holyhead harbour, £20,403 for Port- Patrick harbour, and £90,421 for public buildings in Ireland.

We pay £1,170 to Toulonese and Cor sican emigrants and American '' loyalists,", and £3,428 to. Polish refugees and distressed Spaniards. Such arc a few of the smallest items - of John Bull's "little bill," as annually sent in by the Exchequer. HO LYBOOD PALACE. While the Royal apartments in this ancient palace are being fitted up for the reception of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the exterior improvements which have been. some time in pro gress, and which were expected to be completed before the arrival, on their way north, of her Majesty and the Royal family, who usually pass a night here at least on their way to and from Bal moral, have been quickened and expedited, so that if possible they may be finished, or nearly so, on the Prince's coming. Within the last few years very extensive improvements have been made in the external aspect of Holyrood. Formerly sur rounded with small houses and gardens," and almost inaccessible either from the town or the park, it now stands in the midst of a somewhat spacious and neatly-enclosed gar den, and a carriage drive of ample breadth has been formed all along its front, communicating on the one side with the New Town, in the centre with the Old Town, by way of Canongate, and on tho other extreme with the Queen's drive, the Royal parks, and the hills of Arthur's Seat. Among the still more recent improvements carried out are the renovation of the ancient mansion of Croft-au-nigh, situated in the north-east corner of the palace gar dens, occupied some time by the Regent Murray, while his sister, the beautiful Mary Queen of Scots, still held her brief sway over her turbulent nobles and distracted kingdom; the erection of elegant lodges at Ilolyrood, Parson's-green, and St. Leon ard's, the outlets of the park ; the formatioß of a fine sheet of water in the valley below St. Anthpny's Chapel, and skirting a portion of the drive; and the extension of the - drive from St. Leonard's to the village of lluddingstone, opening up some very picturesque ground, and a very useful public thOroughfare. The principal improvements still in progress - are the erection of elegant iron gates at the different entrances to the quadrangle in front of the palace ; the enclosure of another large piece of ground within the Royal park, almost below Salisbury croqs; and, in particular, the substitution of a somewhat ' ungainly statue of her Majesty, placed in front of the palace some years ago, by a quaint but magnificent fountain taken from a dilapi uated but still attractive model in the courtyard of the ruinous palace of Linlithgow. This fountain, which is Gothic in design, is chiefly remarkable for its sculptural embellishments, the most char acteristic of which are a series of figures de scriptive of the costumes and pursuits of the frequenters of the old Scottish Court. These figures, which are 16 in number, and are from 18 to 20 inches in height, have been executed from models furnished by Mr. Thomas, of London, who deserves much credit for the lively manner in which he has effected these "restorations." For the supply of the fountain, water will be obtained from the ad joining hills, and when its numerous jets are in full play, it cannot fail to prove a welcome and beauti ful decoration to the Palace. The execution of the work has been entrusted to Messrs. Beattie and Sons, Edinburgh, under the superint en d enc e of Mr. Matheson, of the Board of Works. Its cost, which is about £1,400, has been provided for,by a Parliamentary grant for the purpose. There are various directions still in which the work of im provement may be carried out, but the progress made within the last six years has already done much to compensate for the neglect into which for many years this interesting and picturesquely en vironed palace was allowed to fall. BA CHBLORS OF AGILITY: When the discovery was made, r ecently, that British soldiers in barracks, on home duty, and protected by all the resources of a perfectly sup plied commissariat, die off at the rate of 22 per 1,000, military men were at their wit's end to supply reasons for so monstrous a mortality. Many singular hypotheses were broached, with a view of reconciling all that is tiresome and odious in mili tary.discipline with the laws of health ; but liberal and intelligent soldiers declared that the want of exercise and amusement for the men, the devouring the ennui and indolence, took a ll life and flavou r from their leisure hours as from their p eriods of duty. lowered their spirits, and d e p r e s sed their health. Phis judi Lindsaycious ; and in viewwas Colonel n especially ci a le ll y supported by analysis of the evi dence which was given in the Lancet at the time, the necessity for active and out-do or exercises and games to fill the leisure hours was strongly indi cated. A recent distribution th of priz es at Joinville le-Pont has revealed to a gymnastic military school,epublic the existence of where such exercises a re cultivated to th e highest point, and with the greatest advant age to the service. An eye-witness presence of the solemnity was graced by the e Minister of AVar and all the highest officers of the French army. "The candidates for distinction are all officers or subalterns having already served, and the object of competition is the Monitor,' or diploma of or rather th e degree of 'Bachelor of Agility,' which is conferred upon the most dexterous in manly sports, with the view of securing tl ap pointment of gymnastic maste r inone or other erof the regiments of the French army. Thei o nstitution of Joinville confines itself entirely to the instruc tion of gymnastics and other bodily exercises , whether imparting strength, skill or grace, accord ing to the system here adopted. We are surprised that every soldier in the French service is not an Admirable Crichton. The per fection of the Zouaves no longer asto nishes, and 'we cannot wonder at th e clumsy infe riority of the British soldier, from whom such in struction as imparted at Joinville howtithheold, and who consequently knows only present himself before the enemy, and hangs back with awkward bashfulness when ushered suddenly into the company of friends, here we have groow have n-up bronzed an - d bearded men, warriors wh stormed the heights of Alma and rushed on Mala koff, competing toge ther for an ' accessit' in fencing, boxing, single-stick, and even dancing !" It is thus the efficiency of the soldiers may be increased, at the same time that their health is consulted. We are glad to learn that the Duke of Cambridge has given orders for the introduction of a somewhat similar system into our army.—The Lancet. It is related that 60,000 Russians are to be sent from the Caspian. to Khiva, from which place they—con jointly with a Persian corps—are to march against the Turcomans. It is stated that, on the demand of the mob at Milan, the portraits of the Emperor and Empress of Aus tria were thrown to them from a window, and were there torn to pieces 1
