MONET MARKET AND CITY NEWS. I SHARE MARKET. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The foreign a n d co l on i a l pro d uce mar k ets d ur i ng Sh the last few days have been rather quiet and prices generally have undergone little variation of im portance. For the better qualities of tea there has been a fair inquiry and prices have been sup- s ported, an improvement of Ito per lb having in some instances been realised. st", Sugars have been dull at previous quota- St tions, and in coffee only a limited business has been entered into, owing to the large quantity announced for public sale during the week. Rice, rum, and spices have been in better demand, but saltpetre and indigo have exhibited little activity. The next quarterly sales of the latter article are appointed to sty commence on the 12th July. The public sales of sty Colonial wool have proceeded with steadiness, and sty will terminate on Friday next, the 3d June. Tallow s l has been dull, with little variation to report in values, either for present or forward delivery. sty Letters from Liverpool report that in the cotton 9 market yesterday a rather large amount of business 11 was tranacted, and prices advanced f u lly Bd. p er lb . for all descriptions. The sales were estimated at sf 10,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed St, with more animation, and quotations further im st - proved. st. To-day a call of Ll 10s. per share or £1,500 is due on the Inverness and Nairn Railway. 16 The Tamar from the Brazils has arrived at Lisbon s! with £57,529 in specie. There is still a steady demand for gold on con tinental account, and it is expected that for some St time to come the bulk of the Australian and Si American supplies will b e f orwar d e d to France. S About £lO,OOO was withdrawn from the Bank of Si England yesterday, notwithstanding the large quantity of gold from various places recently appro priated by the exporters. The position of the New York exchange will insure steady remittances, and as a considerable quantity of gold is coming for ward from the Antipodes, the general importation of the precious metals will be fully maintained. Money is still exceedingly plentiful, and as the demand is limited, low rates are charged for ac- g; commodation. Neither the liquidation of the Si accounts in Foreign Stock and Railway Shares, s, nor the 6th of the money, seems to have produced S ' any inquiry worthy of notice. At the annual meeting of the Oriental Gas Com pany, which took place this day, the company de • cided on taking the proposed dividend of 2 per cent. on the paid-up capital. The directors of the Peninsular and Oriental s Steam Company have issued their report, prepara tory to their half-yearly meeting, which recommends si a dividend of 31 per. cent. with a bonus of 1 per Si cent. free of income tax. Si Renewed buoyancy has been apparent in the si market for public securities to-day. The invest Si - Ments of the public have been continued on rather an extensive scale, and the funds have been favour ably influenced in consequence, Consols being 93 to 931 for money, and 93 to 931 for the account. There is very little speculation. The Government bro ker s, h as no t resume d hi s purchases for the Savings' Si Banks. The New Threes have advanced to 911 . 92; S the Reduced Annuities, to 911 921; Indian Loan De- s bentures, to 941; and Long Annuities; to 17i s. Bank Stock is steady at 220 to 222, and Exchequer Bills are flat at 17s. to 21s. prem. The New India Scrip has further improved to 11 and IZ-, discount being marked 932 In Foreign Securities a rather large business has been transacted, and in most instance prices show a further improvement.

OPENIN PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) The Chief Clerk of the House of Peers then read the Royal commission for the opening of Parliament, after which The LORD CHANCELLOR, in the name of her Majesty, and by virtue of the commission which had just been read, directed the gentlemen of the House of Commons to retire to their own chamber and choose a Speaker. The members of the House of Commons accordingly withdrew. Their lordships then adjourned during pleasure. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The reporters' gallery was thrown open at half past one o'clock. On entering the house we found numerous clusters of members already assembled on the floor chatting noisily together, or warmly shaking hands and welcoming each other's return to the house. The object, however, which attracted the greatest amount of observation was the great clock of the building, which commenced telling the hour for the first time to-day. Shortly before two the Sergeant -at-Arms appeared within the house bearing the mace, which he laid at the foot of the table. At this time the house was beginning to get very full. Amongst those in attendance we observed —Sir B. Hall, Mr. Whitmore, Col. Sykes, Sir C. Wood, Lord John Manners, Baron Rothschild, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Crawford, Mr. Roebuck, Sir S. Northcote, Mr. M.

Wilson, Mr. Sotheron Estcourt, Colonel Knox, Mr. Rolt, Mr. Headlam, Mr. Edwin James, and Lord Palmerston_ Those who werein any way attached to the Govern ment took their seats upon the Ministerial benches, while the old members who had occupied seats in the former Parliament took up their old positions, either as supporters of her Majesty's Government or followers'of the Opposition. The Hon. Mr. Denison occupied a seat on the Ministerial side of the house, just below the gang way. Shortly after two o'clock there was a general move from the body of the house to the seats, and almost immediately afterwards the principal door keeper appeared upon the floor ushering in Mr. PULMAN, Deputy-Usher of the Black Rod, in full uniform. Advancing to the table, and addressing the Chief Clerk, he said—Gentlemen, I am commanded by the Lords Commissioners, by virtue of the writs addressed to them bi her Majesty, to require the immediate attendance in the House of Peers of this honourable house to hear the Royal Commission read. The majority of the members present, headed by the Chief Clerk, then left the house. After a short absence the Chief Clerk returned to his seat at the table, when the election of the SPEAKER was immediately proceeded with. RE-ELECTION OF THE SPEAKER. Mr. W. PATTEN said it now devolved upon the house, in obedience to her Majesty's command, to proceed to the performance of its first and most important duty, namely, that of selecting from their own body some honourable member who should fill, during the present session, the chair of the house. He begged therefore to propose the Right Hon. John Evelyn Denison, who had already occu pied that high and distinguished position. The motion having been seconded by Sir F. Baring, was, after a few observations, put to the vote, and carried unanimously. The right honourable gentleman was then con ducted to the chair by the mover and seeonder of the motion, amid loud cheers. The SPEAKER having ascended the steps of the chair, before taking his seat, returned thanks for the distinguished honour that had been conferred upon him, and said it would be his anxious desire to discharge faithfully and impartially the duties which belonged to the office of Speaker. (Cheers.) After the right honourable gentleman had re ceived the congratulations of several of the leading members of the Government and Opposition the house adjourned. .EPSOM RACES—(THIS Dot Y).

AND IRISH CHURCH AND ASSURA2WE ZOCIETY. The annual meeting of the Englis'zi and liish Church and University Assurance Society was held yesterday at the chief offices of 'the society, 355, Strand. The chair was taken by W. F. Dobson, Esq., M.A., chairman of the board of directors, who, was supported by the Rev. J. E. Cox, M.A., Vicar of St. Helens, Bishopsgate, deputy chair man, Rev. J. W. Watson, Tulse Hill, the Rev. 'l'. H. Bulbick, Guy's Hospital; T. L . Wilson, Esq., Fred. Heath, Esq., G. Newman, Esq., and Peter Paterson, Esq., &c., Sze: Amithg the sharehold ers present, and by whom the various resolutions were proposed and seconded, were W.Ashton, Es4l,. F D. B. Webster, Esq., the'Rev. T. Cator, of Skelbrooke-park, Doncaster; the Rev. J. B. Owen, M.A., of St. Jude's, Chelsea; the Rev. Mr. Ri gg , M.A. King ston; the Rev: E. E. RowsQll, M.A., Brinkley, Cambridge shire, &c: &c. The report of the directors, and balance-sheet having been read by the secretary, Anthony Peck, Esq., M.A., The CitAntitkN congratulated the meeting on the suc cesSfhl amalgamation of the three offices, the English and Irish Church, th e E ng i neers ' , and !Householders'. At the ' time when the amalgamation was decided on, he had 'stated that the probable income .of the three united offices would be £25,000 per annum, and as the income from premiums now announced amounted to £23,039,' which amount included the income of the House holders for only nine months, the meeting would perceive that his 'anticipations had been fully realised, The expenses of management might appear large, but those expenses really comprehended the outlay of the three offices sepa rately, and for the future would be reduced almost by two thirds. • Usually in amalgamations a considerable, margin q was allowed for loss of income, through the lapse of po licies ; but so great had been the confidence inspired in the policyholders in the present instance by the accession of strength gained from the union, that the number of lapsed policies has been exceedingly•small, and the loss of income proportionately insignificant. The chairman forcibly : urged upon the shareholders present that they should not consider that they had discharged their duty to the company in which they were partners, by merely at tending the annual meeting, but that they ought to.recom mend the society to their friends, and strenuously exert themselves to bring new business to the office, The following were among the chief resolutions which were unanimously passed : ' " That the reports of the directors and auditors be seve rally received, adopted, and confirmed." g, That W. F... Dobson, Esq., b e e l ec t e d a trustee of the society in .the place of Benjamin Blakemore, Esq., M.P., deceased." "That the directors be hereby authorised to pay.s per cent. interest upon the paid-up capital of the company to the 31st March." " That the directors be hereby authorised to establish 3 scholarships, at Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin, of the value of £3O each, with such limitations as to the number of candidates as the directors may think fit." " That the cordial thanks of this meeting be given to the Chairman and Directors for their able conduct of the affairs of the Society." " That the thanks of this meetin€ , be given to the medi cal officers, consulting actuary, and solicitors of the society for their excellent advice upon all matters connected with the society!' . . " That the thank§ of the Proprietors be given to the Dublin board." " That the thanks of the Proprietors be given to the secretary of the . society (Mr. Anthony Peck), the Dublin Secretary„and to the officers of the society for their services." In conclusion, we may observe that the greatest harmony prevailed throughout the proceedings of the meeting, which was numerously attended, and that the general feeling was one of entire satisfaction at the success which is character ising the operations of the combined societies. . AMERICA AND THE WAR. (FrOm the New — York Herald.) . On the thresbold of a general war, 'inv . olving a "rectification of the boundaries" of perhaps every state of Europe—a contest which in 'its cense qaences may prove to be a counterpart cif the wars resulting from the first French Revolultion-L--the question naturally arises, is this great power, .the United States of America, to remain an idle specta tor of this tremendous drama from the lifting to the dropping of• the curtain ! We should answer no! For • while the belligerents of Europe are absorbed in the formidable work of reconstructing their chee l ks against each other, there Will be an opportunity afforded for the quiet settlement of.the " balance of poiver" on this continent which our Government cannot and will not regard with indif ference. • We have full authority for this de c l ara ti on i n th e regular and special messages of Mr. Buchanan to the late Congress concerning Mexico, Central Ame rica, and the island of Cuba. They are each to us what Turkey is to Europe, " a sick man," who can only be sated frOm the most terrible dissolution by the most powerful remedies. It is reported thatthis European . entanglement hinges upon an under standing between the Emperor Alexander, King of Sardinia, and Louis. Napoleon, in reference to "the sick man" of Turkey and the eastward extension of the power and civilisation of Russia. In any event, we may safely predict that in the terrible struggle between Austrian and French arms and ideas in Italy, the paramount idea with Russia will be the opening of her " road to Constantinople." In view of this important element in the general European programme, England may now.be occu pying an enforced position of armed neutrality ; for ere long, with or without the co-operation of France, she may be called to the defence of the overland route to India. Surely there will be work enough in this prodigious job of the reconstruction of the map of Europe to occupy for a year or two the un divided attention of England and France: Nor is it probable that Spain will be permitted to play, meantime, .the part of a passive spectator. She is too intensely devoted to and identified with the Pope and the Church of Rome to remain neutral in a contest involving the very existence of Rome as the head-quarters of the Church. But if Spain should still .findit her policy to stand aloof, the fierce contagion of war will almost certainly re kindle within her own borders the fires. of insurrec tion and revolution. Thus, then, with France, England, and Spain completely absorbed in the bloody European. drama, what will there be to prevent the government at Washington from quietly settling the troubles and complications of cur " sick" neighbours - upon a strong and solid American basis P Mr. Buchanan has definitely settled the Kansas question ; and he has put the Mormon difficulty into such a shape that it will very soon settle itself. At the same time the revived and still increasing financial and commercial prosperity of the country disposes of the otherwise troublesome tariff question. The schedules of 1857 will answer the .. purposes of relieving the Treasury, and bountiful crops and an increased carrying trade will satisfy the present wants of the country. There will thus, in Con gress, be no disturbing democratic issues .in the way of a bold and decisive. American foreign policy. Under the pressure of general war and bank ruptcy in Europe; Spain may be perseaded to sell her " ever faithful island," Mexico may be quietly induced to part with half her territories, or to come boldly into the Union ; and the states of . Central America may be moulded to the "true intent and meaning" of the Munroe doctrine. During the siege of Sebastopol there was such an opportunity for these interventions on our part, looking to the com mercial and military "balance of power" on this continent, but the trifling and vacillating adminis tration of poor Pierce permitted the occasion to pass away. Mr. Buchanan has already indicated a more positive and decisive policy; and had he been pro perly seconded by. the late democratic Congress, we believe that, with the meeting of the new Congress in December next, the wisdom and sagacity of his recommendations would be proved by the most substantial results. We presume that the President, in his ner annual message, will adhereto the bold and masterl3 foreign policy recommended in his last, with sucl: modifications of a more decisive character 'as cit. cumstances and the occasion may suggest. In this he will be supported 'by the public opinion of the country, and he may be able to make au impression upon Congress which will be equivalent to the shaping of the issues and the parties for the Presi dential succession._ With all the dirty gossip, and ,waddle, and. scandalous abuse Levelled a - ainii him by disappointed office beggars and Opposition poets, penny-a-liners, and hangers-on outside public kitchens superadded to party rebellions, treacheries, and conspiracies unprecedented in American poli tics, Mr. Buchanan's administration has not been shaken. It stands in a more promising position now than at any other time since his inauguration. In spite of a distracted, divided, and powerless party, he has cleared the •main obstacles from his path. His course henceforward lies over a comparatively smooth and open plain. All the signs of the times are in his favour. 'hus, by the meeting of next Congress, in view of the troubles of Europe,. Mr. Buchanan may be enabled to place our relations and our policy i n reference to the weak, sickly, disorganised, and troublesome republics, islands, &c., of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea in such a "palpable shape" before the two houses, that they will be com pelled to act upon it. And why not ? While the powers of Europe are absorbed in settling the "ba lance of power" here, there, and everywhere on that continent, why should not we be doing the same thing for the continent of America ? DEATH OF MR. PASHLEY, Q.C.—We regret to state that Mr. Pashley, the Assistant-Judge of the sessions of the peace in and for the county of Middlesex, expired on Sunday, at his residence in Manchester-square, at the age of 54, after a short illness. Mr. Pashley had a very exten sive practice in the Court of Queen's Bench, in cases of ap peal from the decisions of Quarter Sessions all over the country, but more especially cases coming under the • New Poor-law Board Act. He succeeded to the office of Assistant Judge of the Middlesei Sessions on the death of the late Mr. Sergeant Adams*, after Which he was made a Queen's' Coun sel. He was first called to the bar by the Benchers of the Inner Temple on the 17th of November, 1837, and was at the time of his death steward of J(naresborough. N NA 7 7 10 N- A WAR. 'ERMA At the non-intervention meeting at Bradford on Wednesday —M. Kossuth, after referring to the strivings of the German nat i ons for liberty and national unity against Austrian domination, an d expressing his surpr i se that any German liberals should'co ns id er it t h e i r interest to support Austria, went .on to .say—At t h e very moment when th e bloody' dice of war was cast, Francis Joseph solemnly declared that he draws the sword against revolution—you know that by •the despots' the aspirations for liberty and national independence were always designated by that name—(cheers)— and with that declaration we have. heard him boast that, true to the mission of his house, he goes forth to battle for order and his society. Order, indeed ! (Laughter.) His order is oppression. His society is the passive obedience of the slave. Freedom is order, sir. (Hear, hear.) Oppression is. disorder. (Hear, Shear.) It is the anarchy of revolt against the laws of nature and of nature's God. (Loud cheers.;) . The mission of his house:! Who should not know that bloody mission ? It is the never ceasing war against liberty, both civil and religious —war against culture and enlightenment, and Protestantism—against free investigation into the mission of the house of Austria. Cheers) In two words,. the mission of the house. of Austria is despotism and cowardice. (Cheers.) Shall the friends of murdered Robert Blum ga forth'to battle under the guidance of his murderer, Windiseligratz ? Shall the cOuntrymen of Guttenbilrg follow the 'standard of Metternich ? And shall Schleswig- Holstein be led by a Schwartzenberg ? (Hear, hear, and cheers.) An Eastern maxim says that if, in a difficulty, we do not know exactly what route to follow, we should mark what course our enemies take, and never be guided by them. (Laughter.) Now, if the German democrats would follow this simple reasoning of the East, then the flying of the • Gotha Almanack men to — the rescue of Austria might at once warn them that the solicitude for Austria's safety may be .a proper logic for petty despots and aristocrats, but it is not exactly a commodity in which the German nation should deal. (Cheers.) Neither is there an excuse for this delusion to be found in the plea that Austria . may help them to defend the Rhine. (Hear, hear.) Besides, I cannot think. that even the paternal-rule of their princes could have made the gallant Germans so effete that they should not be able to defend their own hearths unless supported by unwill?ng Hungarians, Croats, Poles, and Italians, .who hate Austria as their oppressor, and might transfer their hatred to Germany if they see that even German democrats advocate the suppres sion of all nationalities except their awn. (Hear.) Is it not a s t range s i ght that German. liberals, nay late Republicans, should conjure from their graves the spirit - of General Redovitz, their greatest, their bitterest enemy, in 1848, and accept as an oracle his paradox that the Rhine must be defended on the Po ; in other words that Italy cannot be safe unless Italy be kept in Austrian bondage ? (Hear, bear.) Oh ! that a spark of the genius of Frederick 11. of Prussia could enlighten the minds of Germany, that they could see ,how, during a long life; he urged war against Austria, because he saw that .Germany was rotten to the core under the ultramontane misman agement-of the Hapsburgs, and needed a resuscita tion under the guidanc e o f P russ i a: His policy was forsaken by his successors, and 'Prussia sank down into. Jesuitism so deep that even at this pre sent day it has not quite recovered from it. • Let Prussia remember her mission. Let her understand her mission, and her legitimate ambition to be legally at the head of Germany, and the reconstruc tion of the unity of the German nation will soon be ful filled. Let the German patriots feel that the only barrier against their national unity, was to be found in the'fact that the House of Austria was the hated ruler of thirty millions of:people who neither are Germans nor ever will submit to any princes of. Germany. As soon as these are liberated from the yoke of Austria, she, reduced to her pro per share , in Germany, will have no other but German interests, and will n o longer- stand in th e way of Germany becoming a united nation—(hear, hear)—strong enough to withstand the combined forces of France and Russia, if these powers should ever be reckless enough to attack a nation fighting for liberty 'and independence, and not; al now, for the concordat and the oppression of the nationali ties. (" Hear, hear," 'and cheers.) The care of Germany is plainly this :—Germany, from want of national unity, is a mere geographical denomina tion ;it is the dwelling-place of a nationality, but it is not a nation. Therefore, to becomea. nation of unity is, the hereditary aspiration. of the Ger mans. (Hear, hear.) That unity of Germany may be accomplished either under republican or monarchical forms. To the first every German prince of course, but especially Austria, is the chief obstacle. To the second the only obstacle is the house of Austria. In 184.5 the German nation offered the Imperial Crown to the King of Prussia. He answered, he would gladly accept it provided the other princes gave their consent. Out of 32 princes Wu r t em b urg alone refused. .That was a • small matter of no import. The project of the unity of Germany broke down under the opposi tion of Austria, because she said sho would not submit, so long as she was a first-rate power, to another German Emperor. (Hear, hear.) As to the Hapsburgs, the German nation had had enough of them already. If, forgetting all the lessons of the past, they should elect a Hapsburg to the throne of Germany, the consequence would be that the house of Hapsburg would bring them a force derived from dominion over upwards of thirty millions of people who did not belong to the German race ; and where then would Ger man nationality be ? Where would Gerinan liberty be ? With the thirty millions of non-Germans they would hold. in bondage the Germans. By the Germans they would hold in bondage the non- Germans, and there would be slavery eVeryWhere. (Hear, hear.) I trust you will excuse . Me for not delivering to y ou an e l oquent oration. Really, I have no time for it. I have quite other business on my hands. *(Cheers.) From this exposition you will understand that it is really astonishing to hear how and by what process of reasoning the German nation has arrived at the conclusion that it is their duty and interest to protect the Emperor of. 'Aus tria. (Hear, hear.) Prussia is the real power of Germany. ' The Queen of England must - feel a - very deep interest in the future of Prussia, since she couples the fate of her grandchild in the future fate of the Prussian dynasty. (Hear, hear.) . Now, gentlemen, I do not know whether in this country there exists a court party; but supposing there is one, if they - are really attached to their - Queen per t in - sonally, they s h ou ld inform her that in Prussia i is suicide t o suppor t A us t r i a . A s one rises the balance the other sinks. If Germany were really l in danger of an a tt ac k, I mus t say th a t I should re gard with gr e at ad m i ra ti on th e f act t h a t the Ger man nation, which scarcely ever are united in any single purpose, should app ear rea dy t o sink all - their past dissensions in the determination to pro tect their-fatherland from foreign invasion. But there is absolutely n o d anger o f such an attack now, unless it be supposed that the Emperor of the French .is entirely out of his senses. . (A laugh.) He cannot but be anxious to avoid a wor with Germany, since he has already a great war on hand. There are facts to 'show that that is his . opinion. The 47th article of the Act of the German Confederation says that if any member of the German Confederation is en gaged in war, not as a German, but as a European Power, with that war the Germanic Confederation could have nothing to do. France being at war with Austria, Napoleon would certainly have a right by the law of nations to attack 'Austria in any part of her territory, whether belonging to Germany or not ; yet, though he blockades every port in the Adriatic, he spares Trieste, out of regard to the Germanic Confederation, to which Trieste is reputed to belong. This shows he is not anxious to make an attack upon Germany. The fact is that mighty influen ces are at work to divert the patriotic feelings of the German nation to the profit of the house of Austria. Well, but believe me, the -Ger mans will not rush into the danger, unless they are made to believe that if they do so they will be -sup ported by E ng l an d . There, therefore,' is your danger. Therefore press upon your government that they should tell the German nation that if they choose to plunge into a war they will not be sup ported by England, and be sure of it they will not move. But if upon the supposed support of England they move, then be sure of it England will be dragged into-the war under the pretence that you cannot forsake Prussia, which is your natural ally. The result will be a general, long, bloody European war ; because if Germany, w i t h E ngland, s id es with the Austria, then Russia w ill likewise step in Nationn against opposite side, with F rance. (Hear, hear.) would then be s e t aga i nst nation, brother brother, and E urope would be once more exposed v _ enp you hto the repetiti on of that terr ibl e havoc ter o poured out y our own blood like w your cou n t ry w i t h an eternal debt . a of sterling, f or no t so muc h—(snapping his fingers)— s.) water, and loaded 800 millions good or p ro fit t o h uman (Cheers.)
