.211-01V.E MAREBT AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocic. Although the demand for gold on continental account continues active, the bullion at the Bank of England is maintained at a very high point. The requirements •of exporters have been met by the supplies received from America and Australia. There is some diminution in the remittances from the United States, as the exchange at New York rather tends downwards, but the imports from Victoria continue on an extensive scale. The Aus tralian mail, which is now several days overdue, will no doubt report further shipments of gold, which by this time may be far advanced on the passage to this country. The extensive collection Of specie at the Bank, and the easy state of the money market, have strengthened the impression that the minimum will be reduced to 21 per cent. During the last two or three days the inquiry for discount has been exceedingly limited, and it is probable that some persons have delayed their monetary operations owing to the expectation of a reduced minimum, which of course would tend to lower the value of accommodation out of doors. In the general market the release of the dividends has assisted in satisfying the current requirements of a portion of the public, and the demand has con sequently diminished. The Liverpool cotton market yesterday closed with a very animated appearance, and a further advance of Id. per lb. took place for all &scrip ti°73B- The sales amounted to 15,000 bales. In Railway Shares the transactions were restricted, Prices, however, mere rather firmer. A call of £5 per share, or £25,000, becomes due to-day on Madras third extension railway shares. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under 1859. Great Western ..

There is a decrease of £738 on the Great Northern, and £977 on the Great Western of Canada, compared with the returns for the same period of last year. The Bank of England directors have announced a reduction in the minimum rate of discount to 2* per cent. This alteration was generally antici pated. In the English Stock Market to-day the fluctua tion has been unfavourable. Fresh symptoms of Weakness have been developed, and Consols, which closed yesterday at 959 96, have receded to 957 °wing to speculative sales and a fractional decline on the Paris Bourse.

WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday Evening.—The 11 841 quarterly assembly of the ironmasters of this district was held in this town to-day. The attend anoO was not numerous, and the business actually transacted was limited ; but the tone of the assembly was good, the comparatively cheerful feeling which prevailed being the consequence of the announce ment of peace between France and Austria, and the prospect thereby afforded of the iron trade assuming More activity than has marked it for the last three Months. It is seldom that there is much iron sold at the Wolverhampton meeting, parties preferring to make their engagements to-morrow at Birming ham, but there was unquestionably more inquiry by consumers to-day than there has been of late for nearly all descriptions of finished iron, and more Confidence was evinced in the maintenance of prices as declared at the Stewponey a fortnight ago. There was a fair attendance of the London, Liver- PO9), and Bristol shipping firms ; and, although they are slow to enter into contracts, there was a general concurrence of opinion that the downward progress of the trade has been arrested. The make of pig-iron has been reduced by blow out furnaces. It is hoped that this m ovemen t w ill lutve'th e e ff ec t, i n conjunction with the anticipated Increased demand for mann factured i ron , o f check ing the downward price of " pigs," which are now barely remunerative to the producer. , At the great meeting of the trade in Birming nain on Thursday we shall be able to arrive at some more definite conclusion as to its condition ; but that there is more activity at this moment than was observable a fortnight ago there can be no doubt Whatever.

The clause for stopping up the crossing had been inserted in the committee, and he moved, as an amendment, that the stop page should not take place without the consent of the Mersey Dock and Harbour Company.

He said that in the arrangements made by the Submarine Telegraph Company that a priority was given to the French Government in the transmission of messages over the Government of ,this country. He had received a letter from the chairman of that company, from which it appeared that he was in error in the statement in question. JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.

CRAWFURD the following return was ordered :—The registered newspapers of the United Kingdom, and the number, if any, of the stamps at Id. issued to each for each qua r t er respectively from De cember, 1857, to the 30th of June, 1859 ; also of the stamps at lid. issued to any such newspapers (hiring such period ; and a similar return of registered publications, and of stamps issued to them during the same period (in continua tion of Parliamentary paper No. 489 of session 1S58). INDIA. Mr. W. VANSITTART asked the Secretary of State for India whether the report from the Government of India respecting compensation for losses sustained during the late mutiny had been received ; and, if so, whether it was his intention to lay such report on the table of the house. Sir C. WOOD said that the report alluded to had been received, but he objected to stating at present when it would be convenient to lay it on the table of the house. FLOGGING IN THE ARMY AND NAVY. Mr. W. WILLIAMS moved for a return of the number of persons flogged in the British navy in the year 1858 , specifying the name of th e s hi p, the offence, the sentence, and the number of lashes inflicted on each person, whether by court-martial or not (in continuation of Parliamentary paper, No. 41, of the session of 1859.)

In reply to Lord DUNCA.N, The LORD ADVOCATE said that he understood there was no item in the estimates for the present year for mak ing a provision for the Sheriffs' Courts in Scotland, and he believed that an Act of Parliament would be necessary in order 4o enable Government to .do. so. . • • '- TRINITY HOUSE.

The hon. baronet shortly after rose and asked if the Government did not consider it would be unadvisable to proceed further with the bill during the present session, as it would inevitably meet considerable opposition. Sir G. C. LEWIS said he understood that there would be no general opposition to the bill. His present wish was to appoint a day that would afford an opportunity for the full discussion of the bill. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Mr. E. JAMES asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any information had reached her Majesty's Government, to the effect that more than two thirds of the provincial and local standards of weights and measures had been used more than 20 years without re verification, and that the same were defective and un just, and could not be relied on as tests of accuracy; that such standards, nevertheless, furnish the legal means and evidence by which the integrity and accuracy of the weights and measures used by the tradesmen for commer cial purposes are ascertained and tested ; ,that legal convic tions take place, and penalties are enforced, for non-confor mity. to such standards ; and, if so, whether her Majesty's Ministers intended to take any steps for the prevention of so great an injustice. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that during the last 20 years means had been taken for verifying local standard weights and measures with the fixed standard. Mr. WALPOLE wished to know if the right hon. baronet had any objection to introduce a bill on this subject. Sir G. C. LE WIS said that he had not, but it must first be determined whether the expense of the reverification should be defrayed by a vote of the house or by local bodies. INDIAN FINANCE. Mr. BRIGHT inquired if the right hon. baronet, the Secretary for India, would inform the house when the subject of Indian finance would be brought forward, and when any despatclies on the matter would be laid ou the table.

A FORENSIC COACHMAN.—John Bibb, a private coach man, residing at 7, Reeve's-mews, Grosvenor-square, was charged with wilfully damaging a cab 2,077, he being at the time drunk and incapable of taking care of his horse and carriage, to the danger of the public. The driver of the cab, Morris White, said he was driving along Coventry-street, about 11 the previous night, when the defendant, who was driving at the rate of nine miles an hour, came in collision with his cab with such force as to completely carry away the body of it. The damage was about £5, and the defendant' was drunk at the time. The owner of the cab asked Mr. Beatlon if he Would not make out an order on the defendant's master for the damage? Mr. Beadon said, had it been a cab that had run into the carriage he could have done so, but not when a carriage ran into a cab. He must go to the county court for the amount. The defendant (who seemed scarcely recovered from the effects of the drink he had imbibed), said, in deciding the case there were certain points to be well weighed. It must be seen that, to have done what he was charged with, the force of concussion would have been very great. Now, the fact was, that there were a great many cabs sent out of a night to get in collisions, so that compensation might be got from persons of respectability and those who steadily con ducted themselves. There was, after the question of damage had been decided, the question as to whether he was drunk; and he wished to instil into his worship's mind- Mr. Beadon said he (defendant) was one of those persons who, when thby ran against a post, thought the post ran against them. He should fine him 405., or a month. The defendant, who seemed much annoyed at being cut short in his defence, and who conducted himself in a very confident way, was then removed.

FATAL ACCIDENT WHILE BATHING.—On Tues day evening, about eight o'clock, as a fine youth, about 18 years of age, named George May, :was bathing in Barking Cieek with a nnmbei• 'of other persons, he was suddenly seized with cramp, and quickly sank to the bottom. Every exertion was made to rescue the body, but for more than a quarter of an hour it remained in the water. When extri cated it was discovered that all signs of life had departed, but the body was laid upon the bank, and the usual means adopted for the restoration of vitality in vain. Deceased was then conveyed to the dead house, Poplar New Town. SINGULAR FATALITY.—It will be remembered that among the cabin passengers of the unfortunate Pomona there were a Mrs. Paxton, Master T. Paxton, and the Misses Harriet and Lizzie Paxton. These all perished in the Pomona, and their bodies were afterwards washed ashore, and, of course, interred respectably, a large amount of money having been found on the person of Mrs. Paxton. Mrs. Paxton was the wife of Capt. Paxton, of the Savannah ship Cooawattee, and she and her family were going on to New York to meet Captain Paxton • but the'morning that beheld the wreck of the Pomona and the fate of Mrs. Pax ton and her family ushered in the day on which Captain Paxton died. His ship was lying at Calcutta, and he died there the same day as his wife and family perished off this coast. Thus one entire family—the head of which was in India, the remainder in Ireland—died on the same day.— Wexford Paper. FIRE AT SHAD THAMES. A serious fire com menced yesterday afternoon at 1 `o'clock, and at 9 o'clock last night was far from being extinguished. The premises in which the disaster originated belonged to Messrs. J. H. and T. H. Perks, the proprietor of the flour mills situate at Shad Thames, Bermondsey.

Peak, Frean, and Co., the patentees and owners of the aerated bread and biscuit factory. The discovery was made by one of the workmen employed on the fourth floor, and although there were 30 men on the premises, and they tried every expedient to subdue the flames, but without the least success, the conflagration extended, and in less than half an hour the whole of the centre warehouse presented a sheet of fllame.

Owing to the prevailing hot weather, all breeds met a slow inquiry, at Monday's currency. We were tairly supplied with sheep, which moved off slowly. at late rates. Lambs—the show of which was good —were a dull inquiry, but not chever. The veal trade was heavy ; nevertheless, no change took place in value. .

Francis Joseph' SiMply retains his rights over that portion of Italian territory. from which we are certainly at liberty to infer that Austria will continue to enjoy unfettered sovereignty east of the Mincio,•and that, if she so determine, her rule within those limits will remain unchanged. But Venice is to form an integral part ofan Italian " Confederation," which is' to be establisked under the honorary presidency of the Pope'. Here a wide margin is left to conjecture: 'What is'the " Con federation" to comprise ? "Will it include the King dom of the Two Sicilies ? If the King of Naples or the Pope refuse . to enter into th e new arrange ments, what power will be employed to induce com pliance ? What will be done with the Duchies ? Will Tuscany have; to receive back again its Arch duke? or, if' the Tuscan s should persist in regard ing the flight of their late ruler as an 'abdication of his throne, will the arms of the French be lent to effect his restoration P 'What will be done with the States of the Church P Are they to be secularised, the Pope receiving the dignity of an honorary president as a recompense for a loss of authority? What is meant by his being the " honorary " president ? What will be the functions of the Federal Power, and by what organic machinery will its actions find their way into the politics of Europe ?• On all these points we are left for the present with only the faintest glimther of light. ' We can only submit them as so many unsolved problems to the curiosity of our readers, and 'await lice Lfniiher MUD urination, which it may, please the two monarchs to vouchsafe in their own good time. Still, although we are not yet allowed to behold the minor action of the drama, we sce enough of its great outlines to form a tolerably good guess at its probable denoue num& Of, cou rse , we h ave not hi n g t o d o w i t h i t. We h o p e the Italians will be satisfied with their bargain, an d , i f so, certainly all may go on we ll. There are some people in the world who will de nounce it as a downright swindle, but it may per haps be replied with some justice that the Emperor Napoleon was accepted on his own terms, and that the heavy price paid down in French blood at Sol ferino exempts him from the obligation of being over nice in fulfilling ideal obligations. He cer tainly erred in publishing too fine a programme be forehand. hi the communication made on the 3d of May last to the Corps Legislatif, he told the world that the fate of Italy was reduced to this dilemma :. —" Austria has pushed matters to such an extre mity, that her dominions must either extexld to the Alps, or Italy must be free to ' the shores of th Adriatic." Shall we judge the present policy of the Emperor by his own words ?" Italy is not , free to the shores of the Adriatic. He leaves une•half of Austrian Italy under the hatefutrule from which he vowed to effect the emancipation of the whole. To be candid, all hottest nien will have no difficulty in making up their minds as to the character of the treaty of Villafrauca. It is an odious and infamous vagary of despotic . power. The war has. been 'con cluded with a precipitancy as offensive to good taste and as insulting to public opinion as the reck lessness with ,which it was begun.—Mitnchester Examiner and limes.' THE NAVY .ESTIMATES. The House of Common is once more being re galed with the annual platitudes which fill up the discussion upon the navy estimates. These things for the most part go by rule. You can easily anti cipate what will be said upon any particular vote, and who will say it. The rigid economist, usually the lucky representative of a metropolitan borough, always coincides with the general prejudice in favour of a useful fleet, but he does ' not commit himself as to details, except in pronouncing them too heavily charged. This time Mr. Williams com bines a horror of the cat-o'-nine tails with his pecuniary scruples, and as far as the power of a single individual to inflict corporal punishmerit is concerned he is undoubtedly right. Admiral Sir C. Napier lugs in the Baltic fleet; there is no point to be made, no grievance to be illustrated, without this Baltic fleet. It was, according to Sir C. Napier, England's navaleffort of the last war, and it failed. But then we all know that the admiral who com manded joined the fleet after dinner. This Baltic fleet is to Sir C. Napier what England is to Mr. Bright. These two great commanders take a special delight in vilifying a number of persons who have, in some measure, trusted them, and be fore whom they once stood in the light of confiden tial advisers and guidEs. But instead of exercising forbearance, patriotism, or any of the cheapest of virtues, they condemn and misrepresent the objects of their former trusteeship by uttering the most miserable complaints. Sir C Napier's field is not so wide as Mr. Bright's, but the worz is quite as dirty and quite as thoroughly executed. One's only consolation is, that the Baltic episode will never be repeated in any single particular. The routine discussion upon the naval estimates of the year has, however, been varied by one very important difference of opinion. It will be well remembered that two months ago the late Govern ment granted a bounty to persons who join e d th e fleet. This has turned. out a singularly successful measure, and has contributed in an essential degree to the present efficiency of the navy. Such libe rality was by no means without precedent, and was, moreover, hailed by the country as the best piece of "public expenditure" remembered for many a year. The present Government have just signa lised themselves by completing a wretched imita tion of their predecessors' successful original. They have granted a bounty to all the seamen of the fleet who are above 20 years. The sum will, in all probability, amount to £lOO,OOO, and will include nearly all the seamen in the service before the last bounty. This is a very reckless and inconvenient transaction, and we should be very much surprised if Parliament sanctions it. Sir John Pakington 'condemned the measure with all the authority of his own judgment and personal experience. It had been proposed to him, when he granted the origi nal bounty, that it should have retrospective ac tion ' • but he was firm enoug h t o res i st the d emand, and had sufficient sagacity to see that the evils which were promised from the partial grant would never happen.—Morning Herald. THE NATIONAL GALLERY. The following is an official account of the pictures purchased since the 31st of March,.lßsß: —A portrait of 'Jeanne d'Archel, by Antonj Moro, was, with the sanction of the Trustees, and of the Treasury purchased from Mr. C. J.Nieuwenhuys in June, 1858. At a m ee ti ng o f th e T rus t ees , on the 19th of July, 1858, Sir C. E.

In reviewing the acquisitions made of late years, it will appear that the deficiency which had previously existed of specimens of early Italian masters—a deficiency pointed out by the com mittee of the House of Common in 1853—has been in a great degree supplied. The addition of specimens, whether of the Italian or Northern Schools, of the great masters, and of the maturer periods of art, will be at once more dif ficult and more costly ; and this is another reason for not reducing the means at the disposal of the Trustees." A picture of a bli n d man l e d b y a g i r l , painted by J. L. Dyckman ,s bequeathed by Miss J.
