.MONEY MARKET AND CITY _NEWS. v.. CITY. Two, O'CLOCK. The dealings in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets during the last few days have been on a rather limited scale, and in several instances prices have shown a downward tendency. There has been a steady enquiry for tea, but owing to the high prices demanded, a very limited busi ness has been done. Sugars have receded about 6d. to Is. per cwt., and coffee, cocoa, and rice have been at a slight depreciation. Fruit and spices have been inactive with little change to record in quotations. Saltpetre has con tinued in fair demand, and at the public sales of foreign and colonial wool the finer descriptions have realised a slight advance on the rates current at the opening. Tallow continues dull, but prices are steady, the dealings for forward delivery having increased, The enquiry for discount accommodation is stea dily maintained, and the rates, in consequense, remain in a firm position. Should political affairs abroad, however, continue unfavourable, and give rise to increased uneasiness, the effect upon trade will be very injurious, and a diminution in the de mand for mercantile purposes may then be expe rienced. As it is the utmost caution is 'exercised, and a general curtailment of operations has oc curred. The enquiry for money at the Stock Exchange is rather quiet, but full terms have to be paid for temporary advances. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a moderate amount of business was transacted, but prices tended downwards. The sales were esti mated at about 7,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and quotations exhibited no change of importance. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. The downward tendency in the market for Public Securities has received a check, but at pre-. sent the reactionary symptoms are very limited. Foreign politics still exercise an important in fluence upon values, as they induce speculative sales. The continuous decline in the Renter is a source of great anxiety. Consols, however, have been steady to-day at 941 1 for transfer, and 941 1 for account. The New Three per Cents. and the Reduced remain at 921 93; India Stock is firm, at 220 ; ditto New is flat, at 1061 1 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, at 971; ditto 51 per Cent. ditto, at 1021 1031. Exchequer Bills are 4s. to 7s. prem. Bank Stock is steady, at 2261 and 2271. A very small amount of business has been trans acted in Foreign Securities, and prices show a further decline. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 741 to 751 ; ditto New, 57 to 571; Portuguese have receded to 44 ; Mexican to 201 g ; Sardinian to 841 ; and Spanish Certificates are 41. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 21 I, prem.; the Universal ditto, 7 prem. , and the Thames and Mersey ditto, lt I prem., being a slight improvement; the London subscriptions alone are large in excess of the required amount.

The First Lord of the Admiralty has nominated Captain George Thomas Gordon (1846) to receive the Good-ser ♦ice Pensiok, vacant by the promotion of Captain Robert Fanshawe Stopford to Alio rank of Rear-Admiral of the Blue.

His services on the coast of Spain and at the siege of Bilboa procured him the first class of the ordor of San Fernando. He was promoted to commander in August, 1840, and held command of the Cormorant, sloop, in the Pacific, from April, 1843, to 1847 ; since which time he has served in the Encounter, 14, on particular service; Duke of Wellington, 131, flag ship of Sir C. Napier, in the Baltic; in the:Victory, 101, flag %hip, at Portsmouth, of Sir T. Cochrane ; Hannibal, 91, guard ship of ordinary at Portsmouth; and has held the com mand of the Asia, 84, guard ship of the steam ordinary at Portsmouth, since April, 1859. Private despatches from Rome announce posi tively that General Goyon had received orders to evacuate that city. MEETING OF DONEGAL MAGISTRATES.- - The a _Derry 'Journal has the subjoined sketch of a meeting of the magistrates of Donegal, held in Letterkenny, on Mon day, to take into consideration the intended removal of the extra police force from the notorious district of Gweedore:— " Mr. Alqslahon the constabulary inspector of the county, • attended the meeting, and expressed himself very plainly as to the alleged destruction of sheep in Gweedore. As we are, informed, he characterized the claim for compensation as fictitious and improper, and assured the magistrates that no fewer than 120 sheep, for which county recayment was being sought, had been found by the constathilary dead on the mountains without the slightest mark of malicious in jury. We have also been informed that Mr. .51.‘Mahon's observations were not received with unmixed satisfaction by the assembled justi ces. One magistrate is represented as having been everything but pleased at the manner in which Mr. MiMahon stated the important fact in question. The Presentment Sessions at which the claim for compensation is t o be heard will be held at Letterkenny, ,on Tuesday the 2)th inst." A handsome monument, prepared at the expense of the members of the Waterford Hunt Club, has been erected to the memory of the late Marquis of Waterford. The monument consists of a plain massive ancient Irish cross and pedestal, of Wicklow granite, placed upon a solid cubic base, constructed of stone, and seven feet in dimen sions. The cross, which is the largest at present known to exist in any part of Ireland, is raised upon the fatal spot where the noble marquis was killed. The pedestal bears the' following inscription :—" Henry, Third. Marquis of Waterford, killed by a fall from his horse while hunting, 29th March, 1859." The monument, including cross, pedestal, and base, presents an elevation of more than 20 feet, and unquestionably will constitute an interesting monument is the history of the locality in which it is noted. 3. the Lieges nee's- Share *Lk 20 stock 12.10 stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 124 124 stock stoc% 124 stock stock stock stock 10 I 12 10 12/ stock stock stock stock stock 10 1 10 stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock lOs. 10 1.0.6 stock stock stock stock stock stock BEARE MARKET-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) EX PARTE SMITH AND SMITII.-A QUESTION TO BE NOTICED IN THE NEW BANKRUPTCY DILL. In this case Mr. Lowrance made an allowance for costs under peculiar circumstances. He said that, in the first instance, a petition in bankruptcy had been presented, but it was afterwards thought that it would be better to effect a wind up of the affairs under the Arrangement Act ; that, however, failed, and a second petition was presented under the Bankruptcy Consolidation id - , and the whole of the estate was now in the hands of the official assignee, but the oosts of the previous proceedings remained unpaid. He then asked for the costs of the miging petition and those under the Arrangement Act, which had been assented to by the court. His Honour—What do the costs amount to ? Mr. Lawrance—X66, but out of that there were two £lO stamps. _ _ His Honour—This is a very circuitous mode of settling affairs, but if the asbignecs under the actual bankruptcy do nit oppose ? Mr: Lowrance said he would take the order, providing— he did not expect any opposition—there were amp,le funds in hand, and his clients had only been anxious to protect the general interest of the creditors. His Honour said that the (Ada' assignees had an oppor tunity of knowing the state of the affairs, and if the funds were in hand, and the assig-nots did not object he would not, but the costs must be taxed. Mr. Lawrance —Of course—we submit it for taxation. POLICE INTELLIGIO CE-(TIIIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CASH-BOX BOBBBRY.—George Wild, a young man, was charged with stealing a cash-boa containing about £5 in gold, some silver, and receipts and memoranda, the pro perty of Mr. George Hall, 10, Lisle-street, Leicester •square, carpenter, &c. Mr. Hall said that on Wednesday afternoon the poor rate collector, Mr. Pettit, having called for some rates, he went to a drawer in which his cash box with about £5 in gold was placed, when he discotered that it was removed. He immediately called his wife, and on her examining the drawers, it was also founi that about 30s. in silver belonging to his son was also abstracted. Suspicion at once fell on the prisoner, who had been placed with him by a benevolent gentleman, And for whom he had obtainod a situation, he lodging with him. Prisoner having ab sented himself, one of his workmen, named Smith, suc ceeded in tracing him on the Brentford-road, by whom he was given into the custody of Wood, T 138, who found on him £3 in gold, 6s. in silver, a purse, and receipts. He told the constable he had thrown the cash-box away. The above facts having been corroborated by Wood, T 138, Mrs. Hall, the wife of the prosecutor, and W. Smith, of Market-row, to the last of whom the prisoner, on being taxed with the robbery, said it was all true. Mr. Beadon asked the prisoner whether he wished to say anything, and the prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Beadon then said he should commit him for six months with hard labour. FOREIGN ENLISTMENT IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY. Sir Henry Brownrigg, inspector general of con stabulary, has issued a proclamation setting forth the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act, cau tioning persons against enlisting or inducing per sons to enlist in the service of foreign powers; such offences being deemed misdemeanours and punish able by fine and imprisonment. Masters of vessels are equally liable. A similar proclamation to the metropolitan police has emanated from the comis sioner. THIR D EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. 11A.RPE 41 . DEN RACES.—(This Day.) [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] HARPENDEN HANDICAP. Lovett THE POPE'S IRUI BRIGADE. The recruiting goes on briskly, the Pope's shilling seeming to have a peculiar attraction for the young men of the southern counties. In Cork and Kerry especially, the warlike enthusiasm is manifest, and it is believed that the contingent is mainly fur nished by members of the Plicenix Clubs in those districts. The Cork Herald of yesterday announces that on the previous day between 30 and 40 young men from Killarney proc3eded by the Sabrina steamer to Bristol, cn route to join the Papal army, and it is stated that several persons moving in re pectable circles in the city of Cork are also about to swell the list of crusaders. With regard to the Government threat of putting an end to those plainly illegal proceedin gs, there appears to be a good deal of sense in the following suggestions of the Dublin Evening Nail:— " Military service is an excellent school, and, we doubt not, that a campaign or two would remove many illusions from the minds of such drapers' shopmen and apothecaries' boys as may pass Pio None's medical inspector, who, it seems, is parti cular to a degree, quite inconsistent with justice to Ireland. If these devoted crusaders should ever return to our green isle they will be wiser, and, in all likelihood, sadder men than when they ac cepted the Papal shilling. If they never come back they will not be much missed in the muster of true British men. We, therefore, are not anxious to see any very active enforcement of the Foreign Enlistment Bill instituted upon the present occa sion. • The Cork Constitution of yesterday supplies the annexed particulars : " Kerry appears to be contributing largely to the army now in course of being raised for service un der General Lamoriciere in the Papal States. In Saturday's constitution it was mentioned that 20 persons had left Kilarney on Thursday, and 50 on Friday, in order to enrol themselves under the banner of the Church. A further quota has since left the Lakes behind them. The train which ar rived in this city from Killarney at 10 o'clock yes terday morning brought 30 recruits, who left by the Juverna steamer for Bristol en route to London. Their ages varied from 15 to 40, and they were the most unpromising materials for soldiers that could be seen. An extract of a letter from Trieste, published in Saturday's Constitu tion, stated that the persons charged with the enlistment in Ireland was very deficient in their selection, and that in consequence several of the re cruits had been rejected by the military inspectors. Any one to look at the Kerry reinforcement yez terday would readily acknowledge the justice of this observation, A bystander who was at the train thus summed them up as they stepped on the plat form—' They are the most despicable lot of fellows I ever saw.' If the Holy Father's military inspec tors do their duty as they are s iid to have done it already, there can be little doubt that few of the 30 will have an opportunity of lending their aid to crush out the aspirations for liberty in the Patrimony of St. Peter. The party was in charge of a priest named Griffin, from Killarney. In the 'lowish Ecelesiastisal Directory' his name appears as the Rev. A Griffin, and he stands third o - f four curates alloted to that town, which is a bishop's parish. On leaving the train he led his companions to a hotel in King-street. There they remained until near 1 clock, when they all went on board the steam ship Juverna, and left for Bristol, whence they will proceed to London to be sent on to Trieste. They will remain there until passages can be procured for them to Ancona, where the new levies are to be organised. Ono of the recruits was addressed as 1)r. Sullivan. Father Griffin proceeded with his charge as far as Passage, where he left the vessel and returned to Killarney. .EAST INDIAN EMIGRATION. Some papers lately laid before Parliament give an account of the emigration of labourers from India into the West Indies and British Guiana. During the 15 years commencing with 1845, 14,185 men, women, and children, have embarked at Calcutta for Trinidad (two-thirds of them men), and the mortality during the three months' passage was no more than 4 . 6 per cent. during the first 12 years, but after that period the death-rate at sea increased beyond all previous experience, and amounted on 5,379 since embarked to 13 4 per cent., the proF)r don being larger among the women, and still heavier among the children. This is attributed to depressing circumstances. The most alarming re ports were circulated respecting the destination of these coolies, calculated to impress them with the most melancholy forebodings ; it was said that the English Government, to avenge the slaughter of Europeans in India, had selected the emigrant ships as the most convenient and least suspicious mode of carrying off the natives to sea, and there destroying . them by hundreds without the possi bility of a s►ngle soul returning to tell the tale. A similar mortality took place among the Calcutta emigrants to British Guiana. Among the emi grants from Madras the mortality has been very much smaller. The difference, however, between various Calcutta ships in regard to the mortality on board has been very great indeed, almost start ling, and s'Anetimes the deaths have been most numerous where the passage has been the shortest. It may be supposed a fearful mortality on the voyage removes all the weak, and the annual death-rate among Indian immigrants after landing in Trinidad has been during the last three years only 1.6 per cent. per annum—a rate we should be very glad to see in England. Supposing this to continue during the live years of industrial resi dence, these immigrants will have lost 21.3 per cent. of their number in a three months' passage and five years' residence, and the average annual rate of mortality among a similar class in Calcutta is described as 4 . 4 per cent., which would indicate a loss of 231 per cent. in the same period if they had stayed at home. The loss on the passage during the great Irish exodus to the State* is stated to have been 17 . 5 per cent. Simple Simon. Norton .. 2 3 Ten "ran. ROTHAMPSTEAD STAKES.

A very limited supply of English wheat was shown in to- lay's market, in, for the most part, fair condition. For good and fine qualities there was a fair demand at prices equal to Monday. Damp parcels, however, changed hands slowly, at that day's currency. The amount of business doing in foreign wheat was only moderate. Importers were very firm in filar demands, and the value of all kinds was well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were dull but not cheaper. There was rather a slow inquiry for barley, but at full prices. We have again to report a slow sale for malt. The quo tations, however, were well supported. The show of oats was limited, and the demand for most qualities was firm at the late improvement in vain-. Beans and peas were steady, at late quotations. Flour sold at full prices, but the demand was by no means active. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

In consequence of its being Ascension Day, their lord ships did not assemble this evening. HOUSE OF COMMONS. —(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time:—Banbridge Junction Railway ; Belfast and County Down Railway ; Belfast, Holywood, and Bangor Railway; Puildings Im provement Company; Dublin and Kingstown, and Dublin and Wicklow Railway Companies; Egleston Roads; Keith and Dufftown Railway; Mersey Docks and Harbour Board; and Upper Mersey Dues. The Lords' amendments to the Metropolitan Railway Bill were considered and agreed to, and the bill was erdered for third reading. The Vale of Clwyd Railway Extension and :Wexford Free Bridge bills were considered and :ordered for third reading. MAIDSTONE WATER BILL. On the consideration of this bill, Mr. DEEDES moved that it be re-committed to the for mer committee. The hon. member founded his motion on the ground that a locus slandi had been refused by the com mittee to 1,000 inhabitants of Maidstone, whowere rated to a large amount, and were entitled to be heard against the bill on the allegation that it did not provide an a•lequate sup ply of water for the requirements of the town. After some discussion, which was devoid of any public interest, Mr. DEEDES withdrew his amendment, and the bill was ordered for third reading. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the Wine Licenses Bill, ix favour of the Bankruptcy Bill, against legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister, in favour of opening the British Museum on Sunday afternoons, in favour of establishing parks for the public, &c. NEIVGATE AND LEADENHALL. Although the supplies of meat have rather increased to day, the trade generally is steady, and prices rule very high. Per Sibs by the carcase. s. d. s. d. I s. d. s. d.

TEA.—There has been a steady inquiry for the better qualities, but owing to the high prices demanded by holders, only a limited business has been done. SUGAR.—The large supplies lately come to hand has caused a heavy tone in the market, and a downwardmove meat of about fid to is per cwt. has taken place in values. The refined market continues cl.]ll at about previous rates. COFFEE.—A slight business has been done at a slight decline on previously current quotations ; the sales by auction, however, have been of a limited character.. RICE.—The market has been very inactive, and prices are unaltered. _ _ . . w.

The rates for money remain easy in nearly all the continental cities, and the prevalent disquietude will most likely increase the floating supply by leading to further withdrawals from active enterprise. At Paris in the open market the charge is 3 per cent. (or a half per cent, below the terms of the Bank of Fiance) ; at Hamburg it is 21 per cent. ; at Amsterdam 3 per cent. ; at Brussels 3 per cent., and at Frankfort only 2 per cent. In addition to the further considerable amount of gold brought from New York by the City of Baltimore, the Cunard steamer Africa, due on Sunday, will probably have a large sum. Nearly . the whole of this, together with the recent Australian arrivals, will, most probably, be taken to the Bank, the continental exchanges, after some slight symptoms of weakness a few days back, having again as sumed a firm appearance. But for the d e t er mination of F ran ce, that the commercial world shall know no confi dence; a general and steady augmentation of business might now, therefore, be expected. Should the present state of distrust be long protracted, it may cause disappointment with regard to some of the financial calculations of the re cent Budget. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Sir W. JOLLIFFE, a writ was ordered for the election of a burgess to serve in Parliament for the borough of Leamington, in the room of Sir J. Carnac, who had accepted the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Lord PALMERSTON rose pursuant to notice to move that the house at its rising should adjourn until Monday, in consequence of her Majesty's birth-day being celebrated to-morrow. He would move, notwithstanding such ad journment, that the committees should have leave to sit to-morrow. He took that opportunity of stating that he proposed that the house should adjourn for the Whitsuntide holidays on next Friday week until the fol lowing Thursday. He might state also that the present arrangement relative to Thursdays and Fridays was to con tinue for the remainder of this session. (Laughter.) FOREIGN PAPER. Mr. STANSFELD asked the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for some information relative to the arrangements that had been entered into by the Government with the Emperor of the French as regarded the duty on foreign paper. They were aware that the house had. passed the bill for taking the duty off paper, but it was a question whether the bill would not be defeated in the House of Lords. Sup pose that result took place, what course would the Govern ment be prepared to take ? Mr. PEACOCKE wished to ask the right hon. gentle man the question of which ho had given notice—whether the horse duty would be allowed to the yeomanry this year ? (A laugh.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I be lieve it is customary with most men, when they have to deal with two points, to begin with tho easier. (A laugh.) I will, therefore, answer the hon. member for Malden by informing him that although the yeomanry are not to be called out this year, according to the intention of the Go vernment, the regular directions have been given for allow ing them the exemption from the duty on yeomanry horses which is I think in accordance with obvious justice. With respect to the question of the hon. member for Halifax, as it refers to a matter which of cmrse had been under the consideration of the Government at the time the treaty of commerce with France was being negotiated, and as I learnt a few hours ago that the question was to be put, I sent for a copy of the treaty with France, and I have no difficulty in giving an answer to the hon. member which em bodies the opinion of the Government upon the effect of that article. I, of course, take no notice of those portions of the hon. gentleman's questions which appear to antici- pate that the bill for the repeal of the duty will probably be Lost in another place, since that is an occurrence which it is not for me to anticipate. (Hear, hear.) The seventh article of the treaty commences thus : " Her Britannic Majesty promises to recommend to Par liament to admit into the United Kingdom merchandise imported from France at a rate of duty equal to the excise duty which is or shall be imposed upon articles of the same description in the United Kingdom. At the same time, the duties chargeable on the importation of such mercharrlise may be augmented by such a sum as shall be an equivalent for the expenses which the system of excise may entail upon the British producer." Sir, I do not understand the hon. member to ask me what might be or might not be the obligations of England, ac cording to the opinion of her Majesty's Government, in the event of the repeal of the excise duty upon paper, and, therefore, that matter I leave for the present altogether aside. But the hon. gentleman asks me the opinion of the Government upon the obligations of England under the treaty with France, and under the terms of the address by which each House of Parliament has bound itself to give effect to the treaty, in case the excise duty on paper should not be repealed. Well, sir, I apprehend that is a question upon which no person who has examined the article I have quoted can possibly entertain at moment's doubt. A any rate her Majesty's Government consider it to be a matter beyond all doubt, and beyond all argument or necessity for construction or interpretation, inasmuch as the words appear to be as plain as possible and directly applicable to the case. If there be a duty of excise on paper, then, subject to a single condition, it is the obvious duty of England towards France, and of the Houses of Parliament under the terms of their address, to reduce the Customs' duty on foreign paper to the precise level of the excise duty on paper made at home. The single condition to which I refer is that contained in the latter portion of the clause, which specifies that the duty chargeable on the import of such merchandis3 may be aug mented by such a sum as shall be equivalent for the expense which the system of excise may entail upon the British pro ducer. And that principle has been applied, in the course of the present session, in conformity with the general spirit and express terms of the treaty, to tfe case of spirits, which the regulations of the excise are so restrictive in various par ticulars that they entail disadvantages upon the producer that are capable of being stated in money. And a compensa tion for this advantage, in the shape of what the French call a sun axe, has been added to the import duty chargeable on foreign spirits. But with respect to the duty on paper, whatever may be the effect in restricting trade—which is not now a matter of discussion—no one has ever alleged that it imposes disadvantages on the manufacture of paper of such a definite nature or such an amount as to be capable of being stated in the form of a certain rate of money. No claim of such a character has ever been made or could be made. The inconveniencies, whatever they are, to the actual manu facturer of the article which we call paper are not so appre ciable or palpable as to be capable of being reduced to such a form. There will therefore be no case for a surtaxe like that imposed in the case of spirits, and therefore I presume that in such a contingency as that to which the hon. gen tleman has adverted—and which again I decline to accept or to suppose possible—my hon. friend the member for Herts (Mr. Puller) will withdraw or cease to persevere with the motion of which he has given notice. IRISH BILLS. In reply to Mr. MAGUIRE, Mr. CARDWELL said it was not proposed to prowed with the Irish bills until after the Whitsuntide holidays. ASSISTANCE TO INSURGENTS IN SICILY. Mr. HENNESSY called the attention of the house to the statement by the Solicitor-General, with reference to an advertisement in the Times newspaper for raising money to assist the insurgents in Sicily; and alio called attention to a decision of the Court of Common Pleas as to the illegality of such a proceeding. The b.on. member having denounced the conduct of Gari baldi and his compatriots, as well as the principles and practices of the secret societies, quoted the autho rity of Dr. Phillimore, the Attorney-General, and Lord Lyndhurst to show that enlistment for a foreign state was illegal. He contended that England had de parted pos ition, and instead of upholding nt an from dn her o s utio nal dynasties had encouraged ancie cformerticonstitutional reso lution, and assisted insurrection. (Hear, hear, and "4h oh.") The SOLICITOR -GENERAL said that probably before the discussion proceeded further, he ought to state the veal purport of his answer on the previous evening. The report he held in his hand, and with which he found no fault g ave c iiisee e a as nt they thought possible, shod it vr aasn u dd l ehs be t acb g i ol ue v lehdne not, should ire s t a h y e b t ti me o s as oat bpreciset i o ma n na s nd a n s perr he m e. that the report, if read dispassionately was calculated to de ceive anybody. With the permission of the house, he would now refer to the question put by the hon. member, and of which he gave notice. To the question, whether a parson subscribing money for the object alluded to—and approv ing of it in his own view—was or was not liable to an in dictment, his answer was, that he was not. He was not prepared to say that in that opinion every lawyer, either in that house or out of it, would concur, but that was the an swer he gave. Now, he would state why he entertained that opinion, but before he did so he would say he hoped the hon, member, who had very properly brought this question be fore the house, would excuse him if he declined to follow him into some of the topics he had thought it right to ad» vert to inbringing onthe question. It was not for him to de» fend Garibaldi, or any person acting with him, or any per. son who might have been concerned in fomenting insurree tion in Italy, but what he had to deal with was the anew% he had given and the propriety of it. (Hear , hear.) He would take the opportunity of repeating what he had ahead stated, on what he considered a pure question of law.
