MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two. O'CLOCK. Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and prices of all d escriptions were without material alteration. The a alea were estimated at 5,000 bales, 1,000 of which W ere taken by the exporters. The Railway Share .elarket presented a quiet appearance, and the bu.si lleee was limited, but values slightly improved. The general state of business in the manufacturing 'list - riots, although still inactive, is perhaps quite I S favourable as could reasonably have been ex pected. This is generally a dull season, but the acivices both from America and Australia being more s atisfactory, must encourage the millowners to look forward with some degreeof confidence to the future. an improvement here being dependant upon a reco very in foreign and colonial markets, the favourable 'enure of the recent intelligence must be regarded as satisfactory. The demand for discount accommodation con tinues very animated, and the tei ms charged for the i n egotiation of commercial paper have consequently "een advanced. The movement in the rates, how ever, has been limited to an Bth or a per cent. 411 d as the supply is liberal, no difficulty is ex tetienced in getting all the assistance required. I t generally supposed, however, that in the space °f a few weeks the inquiry will again subside, and 'the dividends will then be in course of payment, t he market is considered likely to resume its Previously quiet and easy appearance. The traffic returns of the principal railways this week are expected to be more satisfactory, the re- Potts concerning them being of a fav ourable cha 4eter. Accounts from Paris state that the Bourse_is still l 'erY feeble, and some disappointment had been b ltuaed by the reaction in prices. The negotiations b etween the Government and the railway com- Patties were still in progress, and it is not expected t hat the question will be immediately decided. The Market for Public Securities is firmer to -47, and a rather larger business has been trans leted. Among the principal transactions was a Purchase of 15,0001. Reduced by the Govern- I lletrt broker. Consols have been 95i and 1 5 i ; they are now however rather heavy, viz., 9 5g. T he market is easily affected by a small sale or purchase, but the general tendency seems favour able. The New Threes are 95Z 96i ; the Reduced 96i ; Long Annuities, ; Exchequer Bills (Ruch), 325. to 365. pm. ; and ditto June, 18s. to 228 . prem. ; Bank Stock is 221 ; and India Loan Debentures are 99i.

There has been a moderate business reported in the Rail way Share Market, and in most instances Prices have improved to a slight extent, as it is i 4 Pected that the traffic returns of most of the 'Ming lines will show some improvement. Caledo t;ittus, Eastern Counties, Midlands, North Eastern Ltterwick), and South-Eastern, improved ss. G: eat Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North British,los. ; Nurth-Westeru, and Stockton and Darlington declined about ss.

The Lards' amendments to the Edinburgh and Glas gow and Stirling and Dunfermline Railways Bill, and the Fife and Kinross and Kinr,ss-shire Railways Bill, were considered and agreed to. The Severn Valley Railway (Extension of Time) Bill was considered, and ordered to be read a teird time. REGISTRATION 01? PARTNERSHIP BILL. Viscount GODERIC Li moved the second reading of this bill. The object of the measure was a very simple one. It merely proposed that all persons who entered into partnership, or who traded either under other names than their own, or under the iudcfiuite appella- Lion of a " corn' zt!iy," should be required to make known to the public who and what the paitocri were. To obtain that object he proposed that the names of persons so trading shculd he entered in a register, and be open to the examination of all persons interested and requiring information. That being the single object of the bill, it appeared to him to be worthy the considera tion of the house, first for reasons which recommended the adopion of such a system necessary, and then be cause ho thought he should be able to show that the adoption of such a system had received the sanction and approval of a large portion of the commercial commu nity. He thought no one would deny that the greatest feedities should be afforded to the trading public of knowing who the parties really were with whom they were dealing. The present system of persona trading under the name of old and respectable firms admitted of great fraud. There were numerous instances of such frauds on record, but be would not detain the house under the present state of the surrounding atmosphere —(hear)—vl , hich he thought ought to be remedied with out delay—(hear)—by entering at great length into them, but he should content himself with quoting two instances, which would illustrate the whol I workir g of the system, and a hich it was ik,! duty of the house to take im mediate steps to remedy. One was the case of Mr. Stephens, who was connected with the Eastern Bank'ng Company, who in Lis extuninwion before the Scotch Bankruptcy Court admitted he was the head and solo representative f a variety of firma, each trading under a distinct and separate name; and the other was a recent case in Dundee, Khefe a person in insolvent circumstances had for a number of years maintained a false po.ition and credit on the faith of the name of the firm. The bill had been introduced at the request and on the approval of all the Chamber:, of Commerce in that part of York shire which he had the honour to represent. The history of the bill was this: In 1856 the Commercial Association of Manchester took the subject into their considera tion, and, with the aid of legal assistance, they drew up a paper on the subject in accordance with the heads of the bill before the house, and the machinery it pre vided fur carrying out its object. In 1857 the heads of the paper referred to were submitted to the considera tien of the Mercantile Law C inference, presided over by Lord Brougham, and at that conference a resolution was agreed to approving of the principle embodied in this bal. The Chambers of Commerce of Leeds, Brad f.rd, Sheffield, Huddersfield, Manchester, Br:stol, Wol verhampton, and other places in England had petitioned the house in favour of the bill, and the Chambers of Commerce of Edinburgh and Dundee bad petitioned that kti provisions might be extended to Scotland. It was true that a petition had been presented from Manchester against tho bill, and if that was to be urged as a reason for the house not approving of the bill, he had a right to say that he had a larger number of the commercial community in its favour, whose opinions, he contended, were entitled to weight and consideration in that house. The bill had been characterised as au in qui-itorial measure, but he thought it an inappropriate appellation. If the co mmerc i a l com munity were un willing to receive such a measure, that would be a suf ficient reason for the house rejecting it, but that was not the case, and he hoped the house would agree to his motion. The motion having been seconded, Mr. COLLIER considered the bill would inflict it jury on the trading community without a corresponding ad vantage. The bill would press heavily on the poorer chase*, for if it were carried any two costermongers or fish-women wbo joined iu a speculation only one day would be obliged to pay half a-crown each for registra tion before they could recover the value of the goods i they had sold. This bill was inquisitor:al in i s charac ter, and would comp icate and perplex the already diffi cult question of partnership. This measure Was a step in the wrong direction. It was re-enacting protec tion, which was contrary to the principles pf modern legislation. The commercial community did not require the measure, but the r eg i strars genera lly throughout the country. They were the puma movers in the affair. They had a strong orgaidsation throughout the country, and they were continually agitating registration, and be believed they would never be satisfied till they bad registered everybody and everything. If the shop keepers of the country really knew what the bill, if ' carried, had in s tore for them, they would unanimously ; rise a_ainst it, and petition for its rejection. He moved , the second reading of the bill this day six months. Mr. MOFFATr seconded the amendment. He con sidered the bill would prove a mockery, a delusion, and a sham with regard to the trading coinmuuity. Mr. BUXTON was in favour of the measure. It would be a protection to the country. It did not med dle with the law of partnership. It left that where it was, and a'l it proposed was to provide a check against dishonest firms carrying on business under false pretences. Many of the objections to the bill could be considered and, if necessary, remedied in committee. principl e ef the bill. The They did not apply t 3 the main evil in this country, as contradistinguished from most others carrying on large commercial transac• times was, that firms were allowed in this re eintry to re tain and to ti , e their original designation and tides, when the old and monied partners had retired from the concern, and young men of no capital traded on the reputation aril credit of the old concern. Mr. WARREN considered the legidature ought not to interfere in matters of this kind. L ird Mansfield was the illustrious f ,underof the mercantile law in one of its great aspects, and that learned authority said the mer cantile law fl meshed most when it was not interfered with by the State, but when it was left alone to deal with matters c-nnected with its own welfare. He had a fundamental objection to the principle of the bill. He believed the unexpected but sure effect of the bill would be to drive capital outof trade. Money was advanced by capi alists to a great ex ent to tra lets for the double ot:joct of increasing the means and furthering the interests of those to whom the capital was advanced, but this bill would prevent its continuance. and the effect would be to cripple trade by dive rting t h e salubr i ous stream of capital from the channels of cone mace. This till, if carried, would disturb exist ing partnerships. ft would irfliet loss on the most sober and small enterprising trader 4, and prevent their becoming legitimately large trad er? . Mr. M. T. BAINE3 supported the bill. The objec tioas that bad been made to it were more of detail than of principle. He considered one of th e leading effects of the bill would be to check fictitious trading and fal e credit, and these were the persona wbo mostly dreaded the passing of this meeeure. There could be no harm is compellirg firms to giv e i n f ormat i on un der this bill they were compelled to give on pleas of ab atement, after paling the creditor a great and unneces sary expense. Mr. WEGUELLIN had a strong objection to the principle and the details of the bill. Parliament ought Got to regulate commercial trantections, • but it should be entirely left to individuals 60 a i 1 101 A i i 49i i 8i 89 1 i I 91i i I 90/ A A ii 1.05} i 5 i 17i 454 79 21ipn 17i i 23, 1 S 58. themeelves to perform. He thought it was impossible to separate the details of the bill from its principle. He denied that business was carried on under false pre tences, for tradesmen trusted only those they knew. (Hear, hear.) The public were mostly interested in knowing who left a firm, and not who joined it because the former generally took their capital with them, and that information was provided for by its announcement in the Gazette under the head of dissolutions of partnership. Mr. SPOONER concurred with much that had been said about the details and machinery of the bill, but the question before the house was whether or not they should recognise the principle that a person who gave credit should have the means of ascertaining to whom he was giving credit. He agreed with the principle of the bill, but he disagreed with many of its details. He suggested to the noble lord not to press his bill this session, for no one would be disposed to go into a com mittee-room, in the present state of the Tbames—(hear) —and hear evidence, and enter into a discussion that must last for weeks or months—(hear, hear)—before they could get sufficient practical information on which to felled a practical bill. Mr. CARDWELL said publicity was the principle of the bill. Secrecy was no part of free-trade, and was no • ornament to commerce. The objections that bad been raised to the bill ought not to find favour in that house. He, however, concurred in the suggestion that it was desirable there should be delay in order to ascertain whether the commercial community of the country were ready to adopt or reject the principle and details of the measure. He should support the second reading of the bill if his noble friend passed his motion. Mr. HENLEY considered the house and the country had not sufficient information on which to deal with the measure before them. He was not prepared to ask the house to affirm or repeal it until they had had an inves tigation into the subject by a committee of the house. Mr. GURNEY opposed the bill. Mr. IIORSFALL agreed to the principle of the bill, but ()tinted altogether to the details. Colonel PATTEN said that though his name was on the back of the bill he hoped the second reading would not be passed at so late a period of the session, as there was no chance of passing it this year. After some remarks from Lord GODERICII. Toe bill was withdrawn, with a view to inquiry early next year by a select committee. The motion and arnendmoet were withdrawn, and the order for the second reading of the bill was discharged. ELECTION COMMITTEES SCRUTINY BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. S. WARREN moved that the bill be read a second time this day six months. Mr. LOCKE supported the bill. After some remarks from Mr. Barrow, Mr. Steuart, and air. Walpole, Mr. COLLINS, who introduced the bill, asked the house to affirm its principle this session, and send it to a select committee as early next session as possible. Mr. M'AIA.HON said the object of the bill was to prevent scrutiny, or a break of residence after the 3let July, and as that was the law of Ireland, he saw no ob jection to its being applied in England. As bit by bit ref ‘rne I,gislatiou was the object rf the day, he saw ne reason why the bill should not be passed this session. It would not ieterft.re with a comprehensive measure of reform. Mr. GREASES opposed tie divided.' 'The numbers were— For the second reading B7 Against it Majority against it.. —3B The bill uas consequently lost. ho might long be spared to enj ay the honours conferred upon him by the Crown and the British nation. (Hear.) Mr. CRAWSHAY said he greatly disapproved of the pro ceedings that had taken place in Oude. He thought they had been unjust and oppressive, and to mark his feeling on the subject, although he by no means objected to reward distinguished services, he should move as an amendment that the Court refuse to ratify the resolution, and thus protest against the proceedings which have taken place at Oude. Mr. JONES seconded the amendment. After a few observations from the Chairman and Mr. Priosep, the amendment was withdrawn, and the reso lution carried unanimously. ANNUITY TO SIB J, OTITRAM. A resolution, conferring an annuity of 1,0001. on Sir J. Outram, was then proposed. After come discussion the resolution was agreed to, and notice given by a proprietor that at the next gene ral court he should move that the annuity be continued to Sir James's son. The CH/111MAX then gave notice that the meeting far the confirmation of the resolutions would be held that day ftztnight. THE NEW INDIA BILL. The CHAIRMAN then laid before the court the new bill for the government of India. Mr. MACKENZIE disapproved of the composition of the council for the government of India under the bill. He considered that Lord Palmerston's measure was far superior to the present one, because it went openly for ward in the right direction, while the bill they were con sidering did not possess such a quality. A. short discussion Lem followed with respect to the proposition of the measure. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to an hon. proprietor, said he did not kt ow what the House of Commons would do with respect to the court. He did not think they knew themselves yet what they were gin to do. The bill was silent as to the Court of Directors, except as to the taking the government of India out of their hands. There was nothing in the bill abolishing the company. General BRIGGS o ndemned the provisions of the bill. An Hon. PROPRIETOR said nothing was clearly defined in the bill, but he did not think a great commercial company could be abolished by a few words in the pre sent bill. The CHATIMAN confessed that there were portions of the bill which defied his comprehension. Mr. JONES thought the present Court had better be ajourned for a week, in older that they might fully consider the mode cf proceeding. After a short discussion, it was determined to adopt this course, on the understanding that Mr. Jones's mo tion respecting the policy pursued in Oude should have precedence of other business. The Court thenadT)uriied — until Wedneelay. SPORTING IN RE I LIGENOE. CHELISISFORD RACES—TUESDAY.

Baker, the'coroner for Middlesex, held an inquest at the St. Katharine Dock Hotel, on the body of Richard Billingsley, aged 59, a waterman, who died under an attack Di, A3iw is cholera. The deceased, who lived in a narrow court in Upper East Smithfield, was in the habit of plying at Irongate-stairs, near the Tower, and lived a re gul3r and sober life. Since the warm weather had set in, he complained of a general debility, and a great nausea, arising, as he stated, from inhaling the poisonous air of the river. He also suffered from diarrhoea. On returning from work on Thurs day evening, he complained of the increasing stench of the Thames, which h%d much affected him. He took to his bed, and on the following day the parish doctor made up a prescription for him. Be, how ever, became worse, and on Saturday night Mrr English, a surgeon, visited him, and found hi ni labouring under all the symptoms of Asiatic cho lera. He vomited, and was violently purged, and • complained of cramp in his extremities. The de ceased did not recover, and died on Sunday after noon. Mr. Ecglish stated that the d-cosed remarked that he was much affected by the stench arising from the river. He died from the effects of an attack of Asiatic cholera. The widow deposed to her husband complaining of a great nausea when he returned home on Thurs day. He could not eat anything, as he said he could not get the stench off his lungs. In answer to a juror, Mr. English said there was no doubt the attack bad been brought on by in haling bad air. Near the stairs where the deceased worked a large sewer emptied itself into the river, and the effluvia arising from it must be very offen sive. Several of the jury alluded to the present dan gerous condition of the river and the docks (St. Katharine and L-ndon) in that neighbourhood, the basins of which could only be compared to large cesspools. The water was as black as ink,and emitted a most poisonous vapour over the whole district. It was a reproach to the large dock companies ihat they had not done something to.; wards remedying this serious state of things, and which endangered the lives of the whole popula-, tion in the district. Mr. English, in answer to the foreman, said there was no doubt that the present condition of the water iu the docks was very de`rimental to the publio health. The air was charged with a noxious vapour. This wa3 the first case of Asiatic cholera that had occurred in the neighbourhocd. The Coroner observed there could be no doubt as to the state of the river and the docks being pre judicial to the public health, and it was to be hoped that every pcssible precaution would be taken to mitigate the evil. A juror trusted that this case would operate as a warning to the proper authorities whose duty it was to protcct the health of the public. The jury then returned a verdict that the de ceased di, d from the effects of an attack of Asiatic eho'cra, brought on by inhaling the noxious vapour of the Thames. PIERS AND HARBOURS BILL Mr. PAULL moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to save the expense of procuring private bills for the erection of piers and formation of harbours by the substitNtion of s nne general authority fur that purpose, viz., that when a scheme he.d received the approbation of the Admiral y it should be considered a pale bill, and passed as such. Mr. S. WARREN seconded the motion. Lord LOVAINE doubted if they were justified a!, this period of the session in reading so important a bill a second time, and he suggested that it 13 bould be re td a second time anti wi hdrawn for the purpose of its being introduced early next session for fur her considera tion. After some remarks from Mr. M`Mahon, Mr. W. S. Dndsay. and Mr. Ridl , y, Mr. FILZ ROY objected to the principle of reading bills a sec end time pro forma, and thereby pledge them selves to a certain course. As thtra was a committee sit kg to consider the state of private business, he thought this bill should stand over, and be suggested the withe.rawal of the bill. Ca'. WILSON PAT TEN cotsidered the bill, at this time tle session, should be withdrawn. If it had been earlier in the session, he shou!d have voted for the second readir:g, in older that the subject might be investigated. I% was one of great imp.AtaLce, and he agreed with its principle. Admiral WALCOI'T folly concurred in the principle of the bill. Idr. WALPOLE bad no objection to the house read ing the bill a second time pro forma, and he concurred in the opinion that it had better be withdrawn. Mr. PAULL stated his readiness to withdraw the hill. The motion for the withdrawal f the bi 1 was ot•jacted to, and the huuee divided on the ozi g inal motion.

The CHAIRMAN said it now became his duty to call upon the Secretary to lay before the Court of Proprie tors the una Anions resolution of the Court of Directors, granting an annuity of 2,0001. to Sir C.

The Secretary read the resolution, which stated that the annuity was to commence from the period of the takirg of Lucknow, and that it bad been conferred for his eminent and brilliant servicss in rescuing the resi. dency of Lucknow, and in restoring the stpremary of the British authority in India. (Hear,hear, and cheers.) Tue CHAIRMAN Paid it now became his pleasirg duty of moving the confirmation of the resolution of the Court of D.rectoro. (Caeers.) He would not at that time enter ire° a detailed statement of the eminent services of Sir Coin Campbell, as they wore as well known to eaoh of the proprietors as they were to the Court of Directors. (Hear, hear.) He had great gratification in being the organ in bringing forward the resolution; and that feeling was enhanced by the fact that it had been hie good fortune to serve with Sir C. Campbell, and be couid conscientiously say that a better soldier or a man more devoted to his country did not exist. (Hear, hear.) Captain EABTWICK said be bad great pleasure in seconding the motion, as be felt that no man bad con tributed more to the glory and fame cf the British army in India than the gallant General. (Hear) He trusted that MURDER AND SUICIDE IN PARIS. A dreadful murder and suicide, committed yes terday morning in the house No. 40, Rue Bourbon. , Villenuve, produced an immense sensation in the whole of the Qm,rtiec S:. Denis. It appears that about two years ago a woman, aged 38, having been left a widow with two little girls, formed the acquaintaece of a widower aged 44, havin g two sous. In the curse of time a marriage took place between the man and woman, but the husband, a land-measurer by occupation, turned out an idle, drunken fellow, and the whole onus of keeping the femily devolved on the woman. The two sons of the man did not live in the house, being bound out to trades. DifferenceA soon arose between the husband and wife, and these qu irrels at last be came a suhject of conversation in the neighbour hood. Y,sterclay morning, at about half-past tight, the two little girls, aged ten and eight, havi , g gone to school, the husband and wife were loft together in the house. After a while, cries were beard to proceed from their apartment, and the wife of the conc'erge hurried up to see what was the matter. She knocked at the door, and heard the wife exclaim, " Come in ! come in !" but the do r was locked, and the husband re fumed to open it. The porter's wife then hur ried down stairs, and sent at once for the coat rni,sary of police. When that functionary arrived, finding the door still closed, be had it forced open, and to his horror found the corpse of the woman lying just inside with the head nearly separated flom the trunk, and further on, the dead body of the husband, pierced with five stabs in the region of the heart. Near his right side 'was a large kitchen knife, with which he had evidently committed suicide. It is supposed that the wretched man, after some dispute with the wife, drew a raznr suddenly across her throat with such fe-ce as to kill her instantaneously, and then, after throwing the razor out of the window, killed him self. Just as the commissary of police was ascend ding the stairs, a razor st fined wi h blood fell in the street, near a passer-by. It is, thertfore, fe: red that the murder and suicide must have taken place within less than a minute of each other, and iu the space of time which elapsed from the mo ment of the commissary entering the house to that when the door wrs burst open. This dreadful event caused crowds to congregate in the neigh bourhood during the whole day. MARKET NEWS.—(Tais Day.) CORN EXCILINGE.
