MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The accounts received from the North of Eng land state that a gradual improvement has taken place ix 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 taken 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 accommodation has tended upwards, because bankers and others seem to anticipate higher rates, and consequently more remunerative employment for their resources before many weeks have elapsed, but the minimum remains at 23 per cent., the ap plications, although more numerous, were not press ing, and the bullion in the Bank of England is nearly £17,500,000. Owing to the new Indian loan—the particulars of which, it is reported, will transpire this evening—the probable expansion of trade, and other contingencies, the opinion, nevertheless, pre vails that the Bank Directors will be soon com pelled to vary their terms to 3 per cent. The arrivals of specie this morning have been very important, including £168,000 by the Prince of Wales, and £260,000 by the Lightning, both from Australia ; £81,402 by the Asia from New York, and £4,221 by the Sultan from Lisbon. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed quietly, and 7,000 bales were sold at previous quotations. In Railway Shares the transactions were limited, and prices remained without material change. A further sum of £30,438 was paid into the Indian Treasury by the Madras Irrigation and Canal Company, on Saturday, which, with previous deposits, makes a total of £355,396 received by the Secretary of State on account of the capital of this company. The Scinde Railway Company also paid the sum •of £50,450 to the Secretary of State for India in Council, making, with former lodgments, £195,485 ao the credit of the Indus Steam Flotilla. At the meeting of the New Brunswick and Canada Land and Railway Company to-day a report was presented from the committee appointed to inquire into the state of the company ; but it was suggested that as it had only been seen by the directors a short time before the meeting an adjournment should take place to the 11th inst., When the directors would make their report to the shareholders. In the market for English Securities to-day renewed depression has been exhibited, a decline of about per cent. having taken place. Business Continues very quiet, but there is a larger supply of stock, and as the demand is.. limited prices tend downwards. Consols have been 95a for money and account. The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities are Ettt, at 941 to 95 ; India Stock has receded to 220; ditto Loan Debentures, 1858, are steady, at 941, but those of 1859 have declined to 93,1 ; and the Exchequer Bills remain at 31s. prem. Foreign Securities, which continue very dull, have also been at reduced quotations. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 81 to 82, and the New Loan is 70 72, but the 4 per Cents. show no material varia tion. Spanish are steady, the Threes being 44 to 411, and the Deferred 321 ;. Mexican Stock is 1 81 ; and Brazilian 41 per Cents. have advanced to 181. In the Railway Share Markst, prices have shown a further slight Klecline, most of the princi pal lines being about to 1 per cent. lower than on Saturday. Great Western and Lancashire and Yorkshire have receded ss. ; Great Northern, North Western, Midland, and Stockton and Darlington, 10s. ; and North Eastern (Berwick), and North Eastern (York), 15s. ; North Stafford, North British, and South Western brought former rates. The Foreign lines have been very inactive, but Lombardo-Venetian have slightly improved ; the Old shares were dealt in at 101 101, and the New at 101 104. East Indian have improved to 98. Great Indian Peninsula, are steady, at 951 96 ; Great Western of Canada, at 14/ 141. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares show little activity, and prices generally are unaltered. London Joint -Stock have declined about 55., and Electric Telegraph and Royal Mail Steam realise previous values. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 94 5 41 3 per Cent.

A CAPTAIN CHARGED WITH A COWARDLY ASSAULT, &c.—Capt. Wm. Couch, of the 22d Regiment of F oot 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 he 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). Share' THIS DAYS MARKETS. The leading country 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 in 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 593 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 quarters 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 very 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. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The total imports of foreign stock into London last week were 10,972 head.

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 Blbs. 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 5s per Blbs. 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.

STRIKE or GAs WORKMEN.—Mr. Humphreys, 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 60 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. 3L 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 manding 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. ETON COLLEGE-ELECTION SATUR- DAY. On Friday last, according to ancient custom, the Rev. Dr. Okes, accompanied by bis 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, and 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 Sat vrday 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 guished 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 graces ante and post prandium were chanted with fine effect by the seventy King's scholars, ably assisted by the choirs of Eton College and the Chapel Royal of St. George. After dinner the loving cup was passed, and politely brought by the junior bursers and head master of the college to the ladies who had assembled in the newly erected gallery. The company then adjourned to the election hall, where they partook of an elegant dessert, and drunk the customary loyal collegiate toasts. At six o'clock the company began to assemble in the Brocas, and shortly before seven the boats were manned by their respective crews, when they pulled to Wind sor-bridge, and then left for Surley Hall. The costumes of the respective crews were the same as on the 4th of June, excepting the ties of the select Eton Eight, which on the present occa sion were Eton blue. We may here mention that the Eton crews of this year, under much-respected Captain (Wynne, ma.), have attained unusual ex cellence. The band of the Scots Fusilier Guards preceded the boats. The crews landed on the op posite side of Surley Hall, and partook of an ele gant al fresco repast, provided by Mr. Johnson, of the White Hart Hotel, Windsor. After drinking the usual customary toasts, they re-manned th e i r boats and returned to Windsor, where they arrived as half-past nine o'clock, and were received with loud cheers by the numerous spectators w h o li ne d the bridge and every available spot in the vicinity. Here they continued pulling to the Cobbler, and round the Eyott, until ten o'clock, d ur i ng w hi c h time a brilliant display of fireworks took place under the direction of Mr. Bennett, the husband of the late unfortunate lady, Madame Coton, after which the band struck up the National Anthem and the happy crews returned to the college. THE STRIKE OF GAS COMPANIES' EMPLOYES. On Friday morning the men employed in the Vauxhall Gas Works struck for an advance in wages and a reduction of the time of their labour, which were met by the directors of the company with a firm refusal to yield to their request. Finding themselves foiled in their attempt the whole body of men, amounting to nearly one hundred, proceeded to the City Gas Works, Dorset-street, Whit e friars, for the purpose of inducing the melt there to turn out ; but, being perfectly satisfied with the kind treatment they receive, they refused to do so. Sergeant Dearlove and another con stable having quietly dispersed the men, they afterwards proceeded to the Pho3nix Gas Works, Bankside, for the same purpose ; but the directors are, it is believed, quite prepared to meet any unjust demand with a refusal.

MARISCHAL COLLEGE The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition signed by about 18,000 persons, against the union of the Maris chal and King's Colleges, Aberdeen. The noble earl entered at some length into the prayer of the petition, after which Earl GRANVILLE informed tho noble duke that a royal commission was sitting on the subject, and as soon as tke report was received it would be communicated to the house. BUSINESS OF THE SESSION The Earl of DERBY wished to to know what was the state of business at the present moment, and he also wished to know whether the Government would fix a date after which important public business would be read a second time. The Earl of GRANVILLE said it was impossible to fix a date, as the session had been one of a somewhat anomL lous character. There were only two important public measures which remained to be introduced—the Endowed Schools Bill and the Roman Catholic Charities Bill. The former had been referred to a select committee, and'an arrangement had been come to which he believed would be satisfactory both to churchman anddissenter, and it was proposed in regard to Roman Catholic Charities Bill, to in troduce a continuance bill for another year. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. Lord TEYN H A M begged to ask the Government whether, in preparing a measure forparliamentary reform, they would take into consideration the expediency of not proposing any property or pecuniary qualification to entitle a person to be registered as a voter. The •noble lord proceeded at great length to argue the desirability of such a proposition. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. ELECTION PETITIONS. Mr. EVANS, the chairman of the committee appointed to try the merits of the petitioners against the return of Lord Byng and Mr. Sneider, announced that the com mittee bad decided that these gentlemen were not duly elected for the borough of Norwich, and that bribery had been committed in several cases, but it was not proved that it was with their knowledge. The CLERK read a letter from the petitioners against the return of the sittinc , members for the western division of Kent stating that the petition had been withdrawn. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were agreed to :—Charing Cross Railway, Dublin and Wicklow Railway, Lands Improvement Company, and Scottish Cen tral Railway. SECOND READINGS. The following bills were read a second time : —The Hereford and Brecon Railway, Earl Vane's Estate, Robin's Estate, and Thames Watermen and Lightermen. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN HOLYHEAD AND DUBLIN Mr. CARD - WELL obtained leave to bring 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 bill on the same. INCOME-TAX, &c., BILL. ThiQ bill, as amended, was considered, and ordered for third reading 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 of 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 ments, an 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 woad estate and the relief of trustees, and whethe r any day be fixed for considering the bill ? of State for the Home Department whether it was the inteintioon_ . o e Lord ROBERT CECIL asked the Secretary the Government to issue commis sions to inquiwre hi election proceedings of those constituencies in ev ._h_ mittees have reported that extensive r b d ri to be th ry e tr ille a ll il u s d r ed to Sir G.

SHELLEY Gloucester petition to e any gave notice that he would move that in future no new writ should be issued in the case of mem • bers whose elect ion s were declared vod untl the evidence was before the h ouse. ii Tha house then went into committee. On the vote of £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 tho Tote in regardtol;erbour 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 X 2,361 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 incubus, 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. WarrEslDE, 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 existing laws. (Hear.) Ho believed, ho*ever, 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 was no desire on 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. Mr. WYSE said it would be the better course to wind up the commission and begin afresh. He always considered commissions the slowest and worst mode of proceeding, and he thought some of the most eminent law officers should be appointed to made the necessary consolidation of the laws. He would move that the item be rejected. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY supported the amendment. Mr. G. C. LEWIS said that he would consent to the reduction of the item by 21,000 the salary of the Chief Commission. After some discussion the house divided, and the num bers were— For the amendment 9l Against BO Majority The item was accordingly struck out of the vote, which, with that reduction, was agreed to. _ PATENT LAW AMENDMENT ACT. On the vote of £20,095 for the salaries and expenses pay able under this act, Mr. BRADY strongly protested against,this vote, and said that 'under the present system the money for these salaries came virtually out of the poor man's pockets. The hon. member urged further objections, and concluded by moving the rejection of this vote. Mr. LAING said that with the exception of the pay ment to the law officers of the Crown, the hon. member would be defeating his own object if he carried his motion. Mr. WILLIAMS said that at present the law officers of the Crown received £8,300, while they actually rendered no service, the clerks doing all the work. He proposed, there fore, that their payment should be reduced to £4,150. Colonel SYKES contended that the operation of the patent law was very injurious to the inventive genius of the country. After some discussion, in which Sir J. Shelley, Mr. Grogan, Mr. Wyse, Mr. Briscoe, Mr. Brady, Mr. E. James, and other hon. members, the amendment was nega tived without a division. _ _ _ Some discussion ensued upon some of the other items, but the vote was ultimately agreed to. The vote of £9,254 for the Board of Fisheries in Scot land was agreed to, as well as a vote of £l,OOO to the Board of Manufacturers in Scotland under the treaty of union. A vote of £5,000 for highland roads was agreed to. After some discussion, in the course of which . . Mr. LAING explained that the money was applied to the purposes of providing roads in the poorer districts of the highlands of Scotland, and he added that he would make inquiries to ascertain if any reduction in the item could be made. £9OO was voted for the commission for the public4tion of ancient laws and statutes of Ireland. The following votes were also agreed to :—£5,000 for guarantees, £587000 for the pensions of officers in the mer chant seaman's service and their widows and children, £15,000 for the relief of distressed British seamen abroad, £4o,ooofor dues payable by British or foreign vessels under the reciprocity treaties. • On the vote of £15,000 to pay bounty &c., Mr. CLIVE said that it was believed they were not sin cere in their expressions of a desire to put down the slave trade, and it was asserted that their only object was to cap ture vessels with slaves. Mr. LAING denied the imputation, and defended the conduct of our officers employed in the suppression of the slave-trade. The vote was agreed to. On the vote for £36,700 for lighthouses, Mr. A. SMITH objected to payment out of the votes of the house for the erection of lighthouses in the colonies. Mr. LAING explained that where lighthouses in the colonies were erected and maintained for local purposes, the colonists defrayed the expense, but where they were for general benefit it was borne by this country. The vote was agreed to ; as well as a vote of £l,OOO for poyment of half the salaries of the officers lately employed at the settlement of the Orange River territory. On the vote of £40,000 for promoting the improvement of the Kaffirs and for the settlement and government of Bri tish Kaffraria, . _ Mr. WYSE inquired for some information as to how the money had been expended, and with what result. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said the money had been ex pended on public works, and with much profit to the na tives. It was not, however, intended to return the vote at the same amount. It being ten minutes to four o'clock the discussion was interrupted. VEXATIOUS INDICTMENTS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed.• ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES BILL. This bill went through committee, and was ordered for third reading. DUBLIN POLICE BILL. This bill was read a second time. CHARITABLE AND PROVIDENT SOCIETIES BILL. This bill was read a second time. CHE LTENHAM ELECTION PETITION. Lord STANLEY, chairman of the committee appointed to try the merits of the petition against the return of Colonel Fitzhardinge Berkeley, announced that the com mittee decided that the hon. and gallant member had been duly elected. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Usher of the Black Rod summoned hon. members to the House of Lords to hear the Royal assent given by commission to several bills (for which see Lords' reports). The house did not resume till six o'clock, when it was [LEFT SITTING.] We are requested to state that the name of the Hon.
