MONEY iviARKET AN.. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE CITY, Two o'CLocK. In the Foreign and Co'onial Produce Markets during the past few days btr-im-ss bas been rather inactive. Holders of most of the leading staples, however, have not p' esse‘l sales, And, co n st-quently, prices have been well maintained. In tea a moderate business hasbeen done forborne consump tion, and at fully late rates; but little speculative business is traneacted although the stocks at pres9nt on hand show a considerable deficiency compared with those of the same period of last year. The finer qualities of sugar have been in good demand for home use, but the inferior descriptions have in moat instances been neglected, although offered at a slight decline. Coffee has remained at full prices, more particularly the better quali ties of plantation Ceylon. Rice has been in active, and at lower quotations, as also fruit and spices. Saltpetre and cochineal have been in moderate demand but at lower potations, and indigo has exhibited little change in value since the last quarterly sales. In tallow a speculative business has been transacted, and prices at one time advanced to a rather high point, but they have since declined. P.Y.C., is now quoted at 555. on the spot, April to June, 543. ; and last three months, 525. 9d. per cwt. _ _ The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and prices of all descriptions were fully maintained. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken on speculation, and 1,000 for export. In the Railway Share Market there was less animation, and only a very limited business was transacted at previous rates. The amount of specie to be taken out by the steamer Ripon on the 27th inst., is 78,5651., viz., 77,1651. in bar silver and dollars, and 4001. in gold for Bombay, and 1,000 sovereigns for Alexandria. As usual immediately after the consignme❑ts by the vessel for the East, the silver market is inactive, but bars still continue at ss. likl. per oz. t tandard. The amount of gold taken into the Bank yester day was 10,0001. A meeting of the Great Southern of India Rail way Company took place to-day—S din Chapman, Esq., in the chair, whoa ated that the dir , ctors had called the shareholders t getherpro forma, as they were bound to do so within 12 months afcer the registration. There being nothing to report at present, the meeting adjourned. The demand for money continues quiet, but in some quart-rs there is more inquiry for commercial purposes. The terms fur the negociadon of first class bills are 21 to 2i per cent. No alteration can be reported in the general situation of the English Stock Market, but, upon the whole, it is firmer, and unless some unfavourable political event occurs to depress prices, a further improvement may be shortly an ticipated. Consols for transfer have been 97i ; and for account, 971 ; they are now 971 g arid 971 respectively. The March Exchequer Bills are 365. to 40s. premium; and the Julie dnto 365. to 395. premium. The New 2i per Cents. are 80 to 81. A rather large amount of business has been tran sactedintheFureign Stock Market, and firmer prices are generally current.

Fresh up to-day, the receipts of English wheat were very moderate ; but we had several of Monday's unsold samples on offer. The attendance of town and country millers was limited, and the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. Foreign wheat, the show of whioh was good, met a dull inquiry, and some forced sales were made at a decline of fullyls par quarter, compared with Monday. Floating cargoes were dull. Barley was in short supply and good request, at ♦ery full prices ; but malt moved off slowly, at barely late rates. We had a steady inquiry for oats, beans, and peas, at very full prises.

The Royal A..:sent was given, by commission, to the Consolidated Fund (10,000,000/.), the Consolidated Fund (500,000/.), the Mutiny, the Marine Mutiny, and the Commons Inclosure The Royal Conamissialcrs were the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Salisbury, and the Earl of Hardwioke. Their Lordships adjourned during pleasure. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Viscount DUNGANNON piesented a petition from s:veral clergymen of the Church of England against the bill f,r legalising the marriage with a deceased wife s sister. TneEarl of SHAFTESBURYiresented a petition from the Presbytery of Brechin for the promotion of Chris tianity in India ; and also a eimilir petition from the Wesleyan Methodists of the Centenary Chapel in Dublin. THE PATRIOTIC FUND. The Duke of NORFOLK begged to ask the noble earl the Lord Privy Seal whether there would be any objection to lay on the table of the house a copy of the letter of Mr. Ball to the royal commissioners of the Patriotic Fund, in which he stated his reasons for not signing the report made by the commissioners ? Theßarl of . TIARDWIOKE said it was quite true that Mr. Ball, one of the commissioners, had not ►igned the second report, and had given his reason for not doing it, in a letter. There would be no objection to lay a copy of it before their lordships, but he thought it would be more complete if that letter was accom panied by the reply of Major Harris to statements made by Mr. Ball. (Hear.) The reply of Major Harris had beep referred to the commissioners, and their report was shortly expected. As soon as it was received it would be printed with the other documents and laid on the table. PASSING TOLLS, Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, having presented some petitions in favour a the abolition of passing tolls, asked the noble I,rd opposite whether the Government intended, after the Easter recess, to introduce any mea sure for the abolition of such tolls ? The Earl of DONOUGH ORE said a measure was now under the consideration f the proper department, and they hoped aeon to beis a condition to introduce a bill on the subject. BARRACK E' PENDIFIIRE. Lord PANMURE rose t I move for a return of the sums of money proposed n the Army E-timates of 1856-7-8-9, to be expended in barracks, showing the sums required for the erection of new barracks, and stating the different localities in a hit% they were to be erected, and whether they were intended to re place old barrack/. The sums required for supplying water, improving d a . nage, and ventilating existing barracks and also the sums required generally for sanitary purposes connected with barracks or hospi tals, and for the provision of quarters for married men, commissioned officers, and soldiers. The noble lord en tered into a long statement relative to very great im provements that had been made of late years to improve the mental and mural condition of the soldier. The ac commodation now given to 25 men, in his recollection, had formerly been all that had been given to 60. He did not attribute the mortality of the Guards to anything connected with barrack accommodation, but that which so injured the health of the Guards was night duty. (Hear, hear.) Such being the oase, it behoved those who were now in authority to give this their earnest atten tion, in order to ascertain whether the number of men now employed at night might not be greatly reduced. (Hear, hear.) The Royal Engineers, at Chatham, were amongst the most healthy of all her Majesty's troops, and this was mainly owing to the fact that they were not engaged on duty during the night time. A great deal had been said about improving the condition for the ac commodation of the soldier, but when the ways and means were to be voted the greatest difficulty was ex, perienced in_getting the necessary sums voted.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the claims sent in amounted to a quarter of a million annu ally. (Hear, and cries of " Oh.")

CUSTOMS' DUTY BILL. This bill was read a second time. GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved for laa7e to introduce a bill for transferring the govern ment of India from the East India Company to the Crown. The form of Government to be substituted for that of the East India Company was the ammintment of a Secretary of State for India, to be the President of a Council, with the powerof appointing a Vice-President. The Council it was proposed should consist of 18 persons —(cries of "Hear, hear") —half of that number being nominated by the Crown under the Royal sign manual, and the other nine elected. (Hear, hear, hear.) Each of the nine to be elected by the Crown should have spe cified specifications as representing some great interest in India. Each of the civil services of the four Presiden cies would be represented by men who had ser►ed ten years each in their respective presidencies. The fifth mem ber should be one who had had personal experience of the courts, feelings, &c., of the native princes and the character of the copulation—which bad hitherto been much disregarded—(hear, hear)—after 10 years' service and five of them resident at a native prince's court. The remaining four should represent, one the military service of the Queen in India, and the remaining three representatives of the armies of Bombay, Bengal, and Madra., each after a 10 years' service. As vacan cies occurred they were to be succeeded by persons hav ing the same special specified qualification ; and in the bill her Majesty's Government proposed to name the number, so that at first they would have not only the Royal and Parliamentary appointment and favour under wbch they would commence their duties. The selection would be irrespective of party or political feeling. The remainder were to be appointed by popular election, the qualification being 10 yeara' service in India under Government, or a 15 years' residence. [LEFT SPEAKING.] LONDON GAZETTE.—(This Evening.)
