1110YEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS• CITY, Two o'CLocK. The dealings in the foreign and colonial produce markets during the last few days have been on a limited scaly,•. Tea has been at about previous values. For sugars there has been a fair inquiry for the better qualities, and prices are well sus tained ; in the refined market, however, a slight decline has taker, place. Coffee has been ir. steady demand, but few dealings have been effected, owing to the quantity announced for public competition during the next Tow days. Rice and spices have not shown any material alteration, and in salt• petre the transactions have been unimportant. Tallow has been, in better request, and the demand from the holm e trade for consumption has in creased. Prir3es for both present and forward de- livery show an improved tendency. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday. '1 he dollars by the last Mexi can steamer have been sold ss.2kd. per oz., being d. lower ; but the bar silver has not yet been dealt with. The steamer Pera, which leaves to-morrow for India and China, will take out £538 in gold and £282,803 in silver, making a total of £283,338, of which the Government remit £93,894 to Hong Kong. A fair amount of business was recorded in the Liverpool cotton market yesterday, but prices were depressed. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales. The Tagus has been announced from Lisbon with £26,916 in specie. The greatest excitement prevails among the leather trade, in consequence of several failures, including one of the most influential firms engaged in this department of business—viz., Messrs. S treat field, Lawrancd, and Mortimore, whose liabilities represent £BOO,OOO to £900,000. The suspension of this house, in fact, has produced the utmost con sternation, since, immediately it transpired, fears were expressed relative to the stability of other firms with whom they were connected. Greater activity is now reported in the Money Market, the inquiries both at the Bank of England :and other channels being very numerous; the rates, moreover, exhibit an upward tendency, bankers and brokers requiring a fractional advance for the paper they negotiate. The failures in the leather trade, and the appre henson that they will lead to other disasters, have ! created anxiety with regard to the monthly liquida tion of commercial accounts, which will take place to-vaorrow. Although weakness may prevail in certain departments of business, however, it is satisfactory to know that mercantile credit acne rally is well maintained. At the meeting of the London Dock Company held to-day, it was stated that the net• profits for the six months ending May 31st amounted to £200,678 11x. 6d., out of which it was agreed to pay a dividend of 11 per cent. for the half-year, leaving a balance of £143,425 to the credit of the company. Our market for English Securities continues in a heavy state, and there is very little business either for money or account. Consols are 931 1. The failures have exercised an unfavourable in fluence. The New Three per Cents. and the Re duced remain at 93 ; Bank Stock is 2291 and 230 ; India 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is steady at 961 4 ; ditto 51 per Cent. at 102, and the Deben tures are 961 ; Exchequer Bills are flat at par, 3s prem. Business in the Foreign Stock Market continues moderately active, and prices are tolerably well sup ported. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 771 to 78 ; ditto New, 60 to 601; Brazilian 5 per Cents. are firmer at 991; Portuguese at 431-44 ex. div.; Sardinian at 811; Spanish at 484 ex. div. ; ditto Deferred at 391 II ; and ditto Passive at 19 ; Russian remain at 108 ; but Mexican are fiat at 21. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 11- prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, 1 4 prem. ; and the Universal, prem. Business in the Railway Share Market has been rather active, and prices have been fairly maintained. Caledonian, Eastern Counties, Great Northern and North-Eastern (Berwick), have im proved 55., and Scottish Central, 10s.; Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, Midland and Norfolk have declined 55., and Vale of Neath £l. In the Foreign undertakings no dealings were recorded, and quotations were unaltered. The Colonial lines have shown little variation of importance. Grand Trunk of Canada have receded to 28 284 ; and Great Western of Canada are steady at 111 ; East Indian realise 100 to 100 k, Great Indian Peninsula 98. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been in moderate request. Bank of Australasia ad vanced to 69 and 69/ ; English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered to 16i ; Oriental Bank to 43/ 1-1; and Union of London declined to 24,1 I. In the Miscellaneous Market Royal Mail Steam realised 601. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 93j New 3 per Cent.

Consols for Account, ex div 93a 21 E A V Y FAILUR TRADE ES IN THE LEATHEti The heaviest failure that has occurred since 1857 was announced yesterday, the firm being that of Messrs. Streatfoild, Laurence, and Mortimore, in the leather trade. Their liabilities are stated at about £BOO,OOO or £900,000, and it is believed they will really be found to am ount to £1,100,000. Their acceptances in circulation are for £147,000, and the total of bills which they have under discount at various leading banks and discount establishments is little short of £BOO,OOO, of which it is appre hended at least £600,000 will be dishonoured at maturity. The average profits of the house during the last two or three years hive been estimated at £40,000 per annum, but it is evident that these must have been delusive, and an opinion prevails that the liquidation will be disastrous. At a pri vate meeting of the creditors to-day a prosp ect of more than los. in the pound is said to hav e been held out. There are fe w, o p e however, fh who think that this will be realised. the l partners enden j Joint-Stock is nt - a s t very e e k considerable shareholder in e e th Bank, and another hasrecent y had b a bequest of £15,000, which will b ecome a w l .th in a week or wo. The • firm are connec ted i the l batterhownistel be Liverpool, but the extent to which compromised has not transpired. The been placed in the hands of Messrs. Colera i n " , have Tur - qaand, Youngs, and Co, The above affair has thrown the entire leather eh trade, which constitutes a most important bran ch of business, into confusion , and about half a-dozen o e or a dozen smaller hou ses ar e e x p e cted i mmediat ely e to succumb. The stoppage of Messrs. J. H. Smith and Co., of Bermondsey, and Messrs. Smith, Patient, and Smith, was notified early in the morn ing, a nd other names were subsequently men tioned. From the manner in which the , various houses that are now breaking down have drawn upon each other there is reason to assume that the entire mischief has arisen, not from any unavoid able revulsions or misfortunes connected with this department of commerce, but from a too sanguine resort to those facilities of credit which are among the worst features of modern business.

COMMITTAL OF A CRUD FOR ROBBING HIS FATTIER, AND OF ♦ MARINE STORE DEALER FOR RECEIVING.— Charles Henry Gilpin, a little boy, whose head only just topped the dock, was charged with stealing a quantity of feathers, of the value of 305., the property of his father, and a marine store dealer, named Eliza Bradley, of Fitzroy market, was also charged with receiving the same, well knowing them to be stolen. The father, a French polisher, said on going home ho missed the feathers from a bed and two pillows, the value of them being at least 305., and ascertaining from his son that he had sold them at the female's shop, he went there and asked whether she bad bought any. She admitted she had, and said she had given 6s. for the bed and 2s. 6d. and ls. for the pillow feathers; and, on his asking why she bought them of such a little boy, she said, " I have to do my best." A constable (107 G) said the female prisoner said she gave him 2s. 6d. for the bed feathers, and 4d. for those of the pillow's. On asking the prisoner what she had done with them, she said she had sold them to a Jew. Mr. Beadon hewing repeated the usual caution, asked the female what she had to say. Bradley said the feathers were not clean, and she thought she has given a fair price for them. She had only got 6s. for them of a Jew. Mr. Beadon said that was her account. She would cer tainly go for trial, for if it was not for such receivers there would be no such thieves. He would take the father's own bail for the boy in £4O to appear at the sessions. Subsequently Bradley was admitted to bail, two sureties in £4O each. The prisoners were committed for trial. THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

THE RIFLE SHOOTING AT IVIMBLEDOK. _ _ The Grand Match of the Rifle Association was opened by her Majesty yesterday in due state, in the presence of au immense assemblage, and under the first summer sky we have seen this year. Nothing could be more anspicionz and it must have struck everybody as a sort of discovery that it was possible to have a Derby-day with a competition, not of horses, but of men ; and that it was possible for men to eempete with olher weapons than their fists. The spectacle would be very novel to many of our citizens, who may not be aware that there is a similar ground, with similar arrangements, in the outskirts of every town in Switzerland and Tyrol; and that the people of those countries reckon on their rifle practice for the preservation of their liberties, as much as we do on our three-deckers, our sixty.. eight pounders, and all the rest, now costing us about thiity millions a year. The Swiss say to themselves that, so long as it is humanly certain that every one of them willkill on the average half a dozen inraders Were he is killed himself, the most covetous neighbour will count the cost, ri.nd think the Alps scarcely worth the sacrifice of half a million good soldiers. They also consi ler that when you have to defend yourself against odds it is better to begin with long shots, and that, if the enemy has numbers on his side, you must make up as well as you can with position and skill. By considerations such as these a few mountaineers, surrounded by natural foes, without a fleet, without a sea, with scarcely a standing army, without a fortification. to stand an hour's siege, with nothing, in fact, but themselves and their rifles, enjoy not only an independence, but a sense of security as perfect as we can pretend to. Ter rible examples have impressed on their neighbours a serious conviction that an invading army of a hundred thousand good soldiers might, indeed, do a great deal of harm in Switzerland, but would not go home to tell the tale of their atrocities. That is the true sentiment of the performance we are wit nessing this week on Wimbledon-common. It is the noble art of self-defence en the national scale. That is all that is pretended. It is true that a na tion which can defend itself is agile to interfere with more ease and security for the defence of her op pressed neighbours if the need should arise, but a noble self-confidence is a feeling the very contrary to the lust of dominion. We may aepend upon it that no people ever sallied forth, or will ever sally forth, to conquer the world with gocd shots. It may seem mther strange that anything in the shape of an apology should be necessary for the art of national self-defence. But the old established notions of warfare are all taken from a state of things which may have been good, or may have been bad, >iut has now passed away. We have no food for powder left in these isles. We used to have a good deal before our colonies, before the gold discoveries, before cotton mills and model farms, and before the Irish famine. Man was then a weed, and a very troublesome weed, and few could imagine the armaments we used to assem ble by land and by sea when our popul a ti on en d revenue were not half what they now are. We have to bid very high for the services of the sol dier, and in default of the professional soldier we are now fain to accept the services of any private person who will come forward and undertake the defence of our hearths and our altars. This is the reason of our Volunteers ; and the result is what we witnessed in Hyde Park the other day. But that result would be very incomplete and a most miserable error without a training in proportion to the value of the Volunteer. Whatever may have been the value of life fifty years ago, we hold the men reviewed in Hyde Park much too good to be employed merely to use up an enemy's ammunition, to fill a ditch, or divert the fire of a battery. It is not to be thought of that the Chancery Bar shall be decimated at a discharge, that the entire school of British artists shall be pounded by round shot, or our shopkeepers used up like a levy of raw con scripts. 'i hese men tender their services on the condition of being made good soldiers. Every one of them must be made as good as ten ordinary sol diers. Should the occasion ever arise for the em ployment of their services, it will bein a war of rifles. They will Fo scanted to harrass an invading army, and to defend houses and earthworks. Their first use is to give a practical answer to the evil suggestion which has found favour in some quar ters,—that London is indefensible, and that all it can do is to yield with a good grace. If half a million able-bodied men are not able to protect their own homes against a third of their number of strangers, they deserve to be slaves, and it is quite time that they should accept a position in keeping with the baseness of their natures. It is our belief that the Londoners alone area match for any army that could ever reach their suburbs; but they must be well armed, and taught to use their arms. Now, a shopman from Regent-street, or a clerk from Cornhill, might not be able to carry his musket and knapsack several hundred miles, to bivouac on the bare ground, living on biscuit, salt pork, and green coffee; but these aro only artificial privations, pro vided for our armies at incre3ible cost by the Ministers of regular war, and our shopman is quite as likely to be made a good shot, and to be quali fied in every respect to protect the metropolis, or hold an earthwork, as a lad from the plough, or any other fellow picked up by a recruiting-sergeant. As her Majesty was yesterday reminded, the English people have always exoelled as marksmen. Their ancestors were famous and formidable with the longbow. Their descendants in the United States are not less so with the rifle. To this day next to being a good horseman " cross country," there is nothing an Englishman is so proud of as being a good shot. This capability of our race is so thoroughly recognised as to be even encountered by a systematic opposition. Law and custom conspire to keep arms out of the hands of the ordinary Eng lishman, for the very reason that he is known to be fond of the gun and apt at its use. Our squires know full well that our village labourers could use the rifle quite as well as Washington's troops, and that our shopkeepers would fight as well behind breast works as the heroes of Bunker's-hill. Of course the courage displayed in the open field is more a theme for admiration, and nothing was ever more glorious than the Cavalry charge at Balaklava. But the present is a question of defence, and what we have to learn is whether ordinary Englishmen, generally engaged in other pursuits, can be taught to defend their cities from invasion. It is a point on which we have no doubt. At least one Eng- lishman out of the two has the eye and the arm - , the nerve, the steadiness, and the courage, to ex change shots with an invader, and give as well as take. Whatever jealousy there may have existed in times gone by,:there can be now no reason against teaching every man of good character how to de fend his country. Her Majesty yesterday inaugu rated the Rifle as our national weapon. Acts of Parliament formerly enjoined the use and practice of the bow, and the planting and preservation of the yew for this purpose. Queen Victoria wishes to reign over a nation of Riflemen. Why are we a free people, and why do we govern ourselves, if we may not be trusted ? Despotic Governments may be afraid to see their people armed, but ours need have no such fear. Our freedom is oar best re source, our great army o£ reserve our arsenal of weapons. Our mechanical skill is wasted on us, if we do not learn the use of the weapon we can make so well. Her Majesty's own shot yesterday proved. the perfection to which we have brought the na tional arm. At the distance of 400 yards the bullet deviated only an inch and three-quarters in eleva tion, and four•fifths of an inch from the direst line. We hare the weapon and the materials ; all that is wanted is the skill, and this week will show our progress in that respect. — Times. BANK RETURNS.
