MONEY MARKET AN. CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. In the absence of fresh remittances from Aus tralia—and at least £200,000 is now due—the specie movement continues limited, but small par cels of gold are occasionally taken into the Bank of England, and in the present state of the ex changes a further accumulation of bullion is anti , cipated. The contracted circulation of coin conse quent upon the revenue collection will tend to create an increase, although a contrary tendency will be produced when the July dividends are distributed. A small quantity of gold, viz., £5,000, was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The interest has been advertised for payment on the following securities, viz., Debentures of the Province of Wellington and Canterbury, both of iVew Zealand, and on the South Carolina Bonds. .Notice has been given that tenders will be re cei'ved for a limited amount of Debentures bearing six per cent. interest, having five years to run from Ist p.rox., secured on the ample revenues of British Guiana. The Debentures to be in sums of X5OO to £l,OOO each. Busimess in the Liverpool Cotton Market yes terday lvas rather more active, and prices were flat. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales. The Railway t3hare Market was quiet, and quotations remained steady. The market for Public Securities is rather heavy, the speculators having been induced to effect sales in conseqnence of the money required for the national defences and the expectation of a Russian loan. Consols are about 9311 ex. div. Very little business, however, has been negotiated. The New Three per Cents. are flat, at 931 ; the Reduced, at 9311 ; Long Annuities, at 171 ; India 51 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is firm, at 971 I ; and the Deben tures are 961 e ; Bank Stock is 230; Exchequer Bills have declined to 2s. to 4s. prem. In the Foreign Stock Market about an average amount of business has been transacted, and prices are firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 771 to 771 ; ditto New, 60 to 601 ; Portuguese have improved to 454-; Russian 8 per Cents, to 64; ; Spanish to 487 ; ditto Deferred to 381; Brazilian 41 per Cents., 1860, remain at 81; ditto Scrip is fiat at dis. ; and Venezuelan have receded to 241.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. Our market to-day was very scantily supplied with beasts in, mostly, poor condition. The few prime breeds on offer commanded fully Monday's currency ; otherwise, the beef trade was very inactive, on former terms. Sheep, the supply of which was only moderate, moved off freely, at full quotations. There was an improved inquiry for lambs, at Monday's decline in value. We had an active sale for calves, at 2d to 4d per 81bs more money. Both pigs and mulch cows commanded extreme rates, with a fair demand. Per Blbs to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

The trade in wheat has been firm since our last, and a considerrble quantity has changed hands at prices not ob tainable in the early part of the week. This may arise partly from the complaints of injury already sustained by the growing crops. NEWARK-JUNE 13.

THE CEIV.StTs BILL. A deputation in support of the Government plan for securing a religious census, as being preferable to the fal lacious test of 1851, bad an interview with Viscount Pal merston on Tuesday. There were present the Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli, M.P. ; Lord Robert M ontagu, 11I.P. ;* the Earl of Dart mouth; the Right Hon. Sotheron Estcourt M.P.; Sir James Fergusson, Bart., M.P. ;the Right R. Hon.Mow bray. M.P ; Sir Brook Brydges, Bart., M.P. ; the Hon. Colin Lindsay ; Sir Stafford Northcot e , Bart., M.P. ; Lord ' John Tynne • and Mr. Beresford Hope. Lord R. Montagu havi ng introduce the deputation, Mr. DISRA.ELI said h e th ought it would be acknowledged that in the present position of affairs the statistics on which they were accustomed to act should be corrected. Whether this was a subject on which statistics ought to be intro duced was not the question before them. They had been introduced, and so far that portion of the subject had been disposed of. The statistical returns of the last census had been freely adopted, and been made the allegation on which legislative measures had been introduced into the House of Commons. It was of the utmost importance that on this great subject they should have correctness, and that they should not be asked to depend upon returns the accuracy of which was very generally sus pected. He trusted that his lordship would agree with the deputation in the opinion that, the statistical element hav ing been introduced, the greatest pains should be taken to secure accuracy in the returns. The decision of the Go • vernment, in this respect, appeared to hint to have been wise and well considered, and he trusted that her Majesty's Government would adhere to that decision. They might depend upon the cordial support of a very large party, if they considered it their duty to maintain the opinion they had formally expressed, and whi c h h e believed had b een most wisely adopted. After remarks from Sir James Fergusson, M.F., Mr, H. Hoare, Rev. Dr. Moleswerth (vicar of R oc hd a le), Hon. C. Lindsay, Rev. Dr. Hume (of Liverpool), Rev. T. D. Gregg, and the Rev. Canon Owen, Lord PA.LMERSTON said he had, in the first place, to thank the deputation for coming there to state their opinions, and also to assure the Government of their support in maintain ing the bill as it now stood. Perhaps the best way in which he could explain to them his opinions was by telling them that he had had notvery long ago the honour of receiving a deputation representing the other side of the question, viz., from the Dissenters, who stated that it was a great violation of conscience to require of any man to state what his religious opinions were. They urged that these were matters between a man and a higher authority, and that the bill provided that if these questions were not answered fines and penalties would be inflicted, which would lead to a system of religious per secution, especially if fines and penalties were imposed upon those who, from conscientious motives, refused to state to what particular sect they belonged. They had requested that the bill might be framed on the model of the last census, which merely provided for a return of the attend ance of the different denominations on a given day. He told the gentlemen who formed the deputation that this was really not a matter assuming a religious aspect, but a question how they should obtain statistical information for legislative purposes. He told them that in all nations — in all countries, statistical returns were obtained, show ing, for the purposes of legislation and administration, what were the proportions of persons entertaining va rious religious opinions, and that course was never considered ' an infringement of religious liberty, being adopted merely for legislative and government action. No doubt the whole of a census beyond mere numbers of the population, was an impertinent interference with the affairs of private life. A man might say, and possibly with justice, what business have you to ask me whether I am a brick layer, a farmer, a tradesman, or anything else, and the softer part of the community might certainly, with much more reason, object to being asked what their ago was. (Laughter.) The gentlemen who had waited upon him had stated that many of the Dissenters would say that they did not belong to any particular sect, but that they were general Christians. Well, then, he thought the iedieg, win they wade their coa- ' turns, might say they were of no particular age. (Laughter.) The return obtained by the last census merely gave the statement of the number of persons who, on a particular day, attended religious worship, and this was of course liable to fluctuations, the relative state of health and sickness, for example, fine weather or bad—in fact, it indicated nothing but the accidental presence of persons at particular places of worship. If it should be thought right to add to the enumeration of persons belonging to the different re ligious denominations a statement of the number of sit tings at each place of worship, he was not prepared to say that that might not be a very fit addition. It might also show what was the zeal of each denomination in regard to establishing means of worship in proportien to their actual numbers, It certainly might be a ques tion whether penalties should be inflicted upon those who, from conscientious motives, did not wish to have their re ligious opinions inquired into, but he had always understood that men were proud in acknowledging the sincere convic tion by which they were animated. (Hear, hear.) It must be recollected that the last census, by requiring a statement of the buildings of the different denominations, did, to some extent, enter upon an inquiry as to religious opinions, because each building was returned as belonging to one or other of the religious denominations. He saw no reason fer departing from the proposed form of enumeral ion —(cheers)—and it appeared to him that no religious person could have any good reason for taking offence at it. The object was, simply to ascertain a fact which would be of great importance as the foundation of legislative action. The only other points which he thought they had to consider were, first, that mentioned by the Home Secretary a few evenings since—namely, whether it might not be expedient to exempt from penalties conscientious persons who objected to answer inquiries; and, secondly, whether, in ad dition to the enumeration of persons belonging to different sects, it might not be useful to know the number of sit - tings in the different buildings employed for religious wor ship. The deputatation then retired. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HAMPTON RACES.-WEDNESDAY. The Innkeepers' Plate of 30 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 BON'S each. Optional selling weights, &c.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YEsThRDAY.) The SPEAXE R took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendmentsto the Tenbury and Bewdley Railway Bill were considered and agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time. The following bills were considered and ordered for the third reading :—Epsom and Leatherhead Railway Bill; London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (Capital) Bill. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented, chiefly in favour of the Education Bill ; against the powers vested in the Poor Law Commissioners, and praying for an amendment of the law; against the provision in the Census Bill which required a landlord to give a return of the religious profession of his lodgers, as being useless and calculated to mislead as to the actual numbers of the different religious denominatiois in the country ; against the mode of registering births, deaths, and marriages in Scotland; against Sunday trading, szc. MINES REGULATION AND INSPECTION BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 1, Mr. PAGET moved to leave out is line 20 " 12," and insert " 13." The object of the amendment was to prevent children being admitted to work in mines before they had obtained an adequate amount of mental and moral culture. The plan he proposed had been adopted by the provisions of the Factory Act, and that measure had worked most suc cessfully. He was opposed to this bill when it was intro duced as being an undue interfer ence b e t ween th e emp l oyer and employed, but the statement he made as to its success ful operation was founded on information furnished by the most competent authority. The hon. member then referred to the state of juvenile education amongst the working classes, and said that it was stated by persons of the most reliable character, that up to a certain age, only 15 out of 46 could read, and the number would much be re duced if the test of writing were required. Mr. CLIVE defended the clause, which he said was framed in conformity with the suggestions of those best qualified to understand the subject. He denied that the operation of the factory act in respect to the question under consideration was satisfactory, as it had the effect of ex cluding in Scotch factories children under a certain age, when their labour would be valuable. Mr. LIDDELL opposed the clause as well as the amend ment. He considered that a compulsory enactment of that kind would materially impede the efforts of those who had laboured strenuously for the education of the working classes, and would disgust those classes with that very edu cation which it was the duty as well as the desire of the house to promote. The partial application of the principle of compulsory labour to any one branch of industry would, according to sound political axioms, tend to raise wages and place such branch of trade at a most unfair in equality with other branches of national industry. They should remember that they were legislating for the working classes; and that in dealing with juvenile labour, they might be depriving a working man of an im portant addition of 65., 75., or Bs. a week to his income, by the restriction intended to be imposed. He contended also that, as we were about to enter into a competition with France, we ought to afford every facility for the supply of labour in the production of those articles which we intended for the French market. Mr. ADDERLEY objected to step by step legislation, and said that the statute book was in a most anomalous condition in reference to the subject of juvenile labour. He contended that there should be a general measure introduced on this question. They should not say to employers that they should net employ boys of a certain age, but that they should employ them cot sistently with the national system of education. In fact, they were now endeavouring to throw on the employer the obligation of the parent, while the house should stand in that relation to the child, or, at all events, partake of it conjointly witli the parent. Mr. C. BUXTON said that the system which it was proposed was one of compulsory education, to which he strongly objected. Instead of leaving this subject of juvenile education to the gradual increase of knowledge and intelligence, instead of having recourse to law, and impos ing criminal penalties for its neglect. Mr. CROSSLEY objected to the bill, and said that its operation in Yorkshire would have the effect, to a considerable extent, of confiscating mining property. ' Mining proprietors had no objection to children being edu cated while in their employment, but no means could be devised to render the present bill practical in operation. The children employed in mines were a hard dreadnaught class, and it would be useless to depend on procuring them from schools, so that the effect of the bill would be to drive children into other branches of industry. He had no objection to the age proposed, After some further discussion, in which, however, no new point was introduced, Mr. AYRTON said that the only object which they were then discussing was at what age, whether 12 or 13, children should be employed in mines, under any restric tion or not. The next clause would provide for what the description of education would be, and the amount of pro tection to be extended to children. There were precedents for fixing the age of the children to be employed. The age of 13 was that which had been decided on with re spect to children employed in factories, and that decision was founded on a general principle, namely, that it was a period of life when children had arrived at the ago of dis cretion for employment. If this was the case in other em ployments, it was most particularly so in regard to labour in mines, and the age of 13 was the ono best suited to children engaged in mines according to the report of inspectors of mines. He contended that this was a question of mo rality, religion, and duty on one side, and money and the acquisition of money in its worst form on the other. With regard to this latter, it was a fact that the effect of this bill would be to compel them to make a larger outlay of their capital, and instead of employing juvenile labour without restriction, they would more properly be required to employ adult labour. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that, as was not an unusual case, the house was called on to decide between three courses, namely, two extremes and one medium course. In one in stance it was proposed that there should be no restraint imposed on the employment of children in mines. Unless they were disposed to sweep away the acts 4 and 5 of Vic toria they could not agree to that proposition. He could not consent to the proposal of the honourable member (Mr. Paget), for he considered the alteration he was desi • rous of introducing was not one that should be adopted with out some experience. Government did not propose to do away with the employment of children of 10 years of age in mines, provided they could. read and write. They could extend the age to 13 if they found that the addition of two years was not sufficient for the protection of children. Col. LINDSAY said that there was much misrepresen tation as to the bad condition of persons employed in mines. The house then divided, and the numbers were— For the amendment Against it Majority —lO7 The amendment was accordingly lost. Mr. KINNAIRD moved the following amendment,— " That no such boy shall be kept, or allow — cd to remain: in any colliery or mine for a longer period than eight hours in one day." Mr. CLIVE felt bound to oppose the amendment. The mortality in mines amongst boys was an argument against the amendment, because, by the restriction it imposed, it would be necessary that the boys should be drawn up and let down from the mines more frequently, which would in ovlse the risk to their lives. KINNAIRD postponed the amendment for the pre sent. Lord. J. MANNERS moved an amendment to the effect that no c`iiildren should be employed in mines under 12 years of 4 4: under any circumstances. He alluded to the Factory Act, and stated that the physical improvement effected in chilgren employed in factories was a conclusive argument in favcsur of Increasing the age of children to be employed in mines.' After a few words from Mr. CAYLEY, Mr. BRUCE opposetiany exceptional legislation on this subject. It had been saici that th er a connection be tween ignorance and crim and what e was was case as re gal ded the mining populat,'on ? Mr. Fletcher, who has c ollected a number of statistics, on this subject, gives the following result with reference to committals for crime within certain periods :—Metropoittan districts, 2'2- per 1,000 ; ircn districts, 18 ; agricultoral, 14 ; cotton, 12 ; silk, 8 ; and mining districts, only 6 per 1,000. Like the hon. and gallant member (Colonel Lindsay) he had visited mines, and could speak to the good condition of the:mining population. After a few words from Mr. CAYLEY, Colonic LINDSAY contended that it was rao,it unfair to apply a restriction such as that proposed by the bill, the effect of which would be to drive juvenile labour into other channels than mining, which would be an injury to the mining interest and to the public. After some discussion the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. LIDDELL moved the omission of the clause. Lord A. V. TEMPEST seconded the amendment. The committee divided, and the numbers were— For the amendment 9l Against it lBO Majority —B9 The clause was then agreed to. On clause 2, Mr. ADDERLEY suggested that it should be post poned, as well as clause 3. Sir G. C. LEWIS declined to accede to the suggestion. Some discussion ensued, after which, Mr. KIN NAI RD moved the amendment which he had previously brought forward, limiting the time of work for boys under 11 years of age to eight hours a-day. £he committee divided — For the amendment Against it Majority The amendment was lost. The Chairman reported progrees and the house resumed. The Local Boards of Health Bill was read a second time. The Local Government Supplemental Bill was also read a second time. LANDS CLAUSES CONSOLIDATION ACT (1845) AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a second time, FRIENDLY SOCIETIES ACT. AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a second time. ANCHORS. Sir J. ELPHINSTONE obtained leave to brin in a bill for testing anchors and chain cables in tho merchssiat ser vice. The house adjourned at six o'clock. The number of insolvencies in Australia in 1858 Was three times as groat as in 1857, last year there was a further increase of 50 per cent., and this year up to the middle of April the rate has experienced a fresh advance of about 70 per cent. The total liabilities of failed firms from 1842 to 1859 were £5,981,026. and the assets stated in schedules amounted to £3,735,613, but of the latter amnounts, if we may judge from the experience of such cases on probably not 50 per cent. was ever realised. . Austra lian accountants are doubtless as expert as our own in allay ing the first burst of indignation against their insolvent patrons, and that feat accomp lished there is little dread of further inquiry, and private investments, marriage settle ments, and all other prudential devices are certain to by left unnoticed and undisturbed.—Tithes. BVPRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.12/ per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price o £3 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 2-10 ths per cent , dearer in Paris than in London. By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 42 3 per mark , a nd the short exchange on London is 13,3 i per £ 1 s t erling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore about 2-10ths dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New ,York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 1092 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint pa r betw een the two countries, shows that the exchange is about at par ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of inte rest, the present rats leaves scarcely anv profit on the importation of gold from the rigtid T.HE NAVY.

The following vessel s h ave recen tl y un d ergone a trial of their engines: —The Torch, ,5 guns, screw steam gunvessel, 80-horse power. t!;he is a new class of gunvessel, and of a superior character and build, from the hands of Messrs. Napier, of Glasgow. She was six hours out. Her speed was 9 954 ; draught of water forward, 8 feet ten inches; aft, 10 feet 6 inches. The Plover, guns, screw steam gunvessel, 80-horse power (a twin vessel to the Torch, and built by the same firm). She was out for seven hours. Rate of speed, 10-ZBB ; draught of water forward, 8 feet 3 inches ; aft, 12 feet 10 inches. The Waterloo (late first-class sailing ves sel, of 100 guns, and for several years flagship at Sheerness), which has been cut down, lengthened, and converted into a 90-gun screw steamship, 500-horse power, has had a successful trial of her engines. The engine-room was cool and well ventilated. Her engines were built by Messrs. Ravenhill and Salkeld. Rate of speed, 11.329 ; draught of water—forward, 19 feet ; aft, 22 feet. The Irresistible, 80, screw steamship, 400-horse power, has also had a successful trial of her machinery. Her speed was 11.010 ; draught of water, 19 feet 8 inches forward, and 22 feet 6 inches aft. Her engines were built by Messrs. Penn and Son. The Atlas, 91, line-of-battle screw steamer, build ing at Chatham dockyard, although commenced only a short time ago, is so far completed that she will be fit to be launched towards the latter end of next month, when another two-decker screw steamer of equal size and tonnage will be immediately laid down upon the same slip. The Tartar, 21 guns, screw steam corvette, 250- horse power, and 1,322 tons burden, which has just been fitted with new boilers and had her engines refitted, besides undergoing a thorough repair, under the superintendence of Mr. Blaxland, on Monday got up steam in Sheerness harbour and proceeded to test her speed at the measured mile off Mapling Sands. There was a strong wind blowing from the S.S.E., and the rain fell heavily. The ship was under the command of Captain Schomberg, Mr. Price, inspector of engineers, and Mr. Blaxland, chief engineer at the Sheerness yard. The following are the results of the trial :—Diameter of screw, 12 feet 1 inch; pitch, 16 feet 7 inches ; length, 2 feet 9 inches ; speed, 9 627 ; revolutions, 74. The draught of water was 13 feet 6 inches forward, and 14 feet 5 inches aft. The machinery worked admirably, and the trial was in every respect satisfactory. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam sloop Hecate, Commander Hosken, fitted out at Woolwich for survey in the Pacific, sailed this morning from Greenhithe for Portsmouth, performing the mea sured mile from Shoeburyness on a trial of her engines, under the superintendence of Mr. Patridge, inspector of Government steam machinery afloat. The Hecate conveyed to Portsmouth 120 boys and 12 ordinary seamen from the flagship Fisgard, for the fleet, who proceeded early this morning, in charge of Mr. Hall, instructor of novices, to Green hithe, in the steam tender Bustler, Second Master Commander Draper.

THE ARMY. The annexed: general order was promulgated yesterday : _ _ _ Horse Guards, June P. The following additional regulations, consequent on the reduction of the prices of commissions in the cavalry, hav ing been approved by her Majesty, are promulgated to the army In eases where an officer of the cavalry who was in the service previous to the 31st of January, 1860, would, on exchanging from cavalry to full or half-pay of infantry, have been entitled, under the regulations then existing, to receive the difference between the cavalry commission which he then held and infantry, according to the rates fixed for the several ranks, he will, if the exchange should be per mitted be allowed to receive the difference from the Reserve Fund. Captains of cavalry who have not had the benefit of the new regulations in the purchase of any previous step will only be required on purchasing a majority to pay £1,350, and the additional £5O will in those cases be paid to the retiring officer from the Reserve Fund. Those captains, however, who have purchased any of their previous steps under the new regulations will be re quired to pay the regulated price of L 1,400 for the majoritY.
