MONEY MARKET AN ,) COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLock. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been rather More activity, the demand for most of the principal Staples having improved chiefly for home consump tion. The finer qualities of sugar there is an active Inquiry, and sales have been effected at a slight advance on last Friday's quotations. In the Re ined Market an improvement has taken place, and an advance of about ls. per cwt. may be quoted on all descriptions of dried goods. The demand for good qualities of Plantation Ceylon coffee has been active, and moderate quantities have changed hands at fully late rates. An active businers has been done in tea, and prices are firm. Speculators, how ever, are waiting the delivery of the letters by the Overland Mail. In rum and ricethere has been very little business transacted, but some inquiry pre vailed for fruit. Muscatel raisins for home use have been in request at slightly improved prices. Saltpetre has been dull, with only a limited in quiry at rather lower quotations. In tallow rather an active business has been transacted, and prices are firm. P. Y.C. on the spot and all the month is quoted 55s : April to June, 535. 9d., and last three months, 535. 6d. to 545. Price of town tallow is quoted 535. 3d. per cwt. nett cash. Accounts from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday manifested a very animated ap pearance, and prices of all descriptions were fully id. per lb. dearer. The sales were estimated at from 12,000 to 15,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken by the speculators, and 500 by the exporters. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and quotations slightly improved. A further large amount of gold, viz., 170,000/., was added yesterday to the bullion in the Bank of England. Tke movement will no doubt continue, as there is now a temporary suspension of the influx of silver from the Continent, which, while it lasted, necessitated large shipments of gold from this side. Since the arrival of the last Indian mad the silver market has been very dull, and the quotations have rather a downward tendency. The receipts for the United States are now very much curtailed, and the America, just arrived, has only brought about 150/. The exchange on London was very heavy, and business r'mained exceedingly dull. While trade remains in its present inactive state the re mittances will, necessarily, continue on a small scale. Several rumours are afloat respecting the I,ndian loan, but no official information has yet been afforded. There is still an impression that 5,000,000/. will be negotiated in the first instance, leaving the remaining 3,000,0001. to be subscribed hereafter. The demand for money is steady, though limited, and in a few weeks it is generally imagined that there will be a sufficient renewal of trade to afford the monied interest increased employment for the vast amount of capital now at their disposal. The advices from New York report a continued accumulation of specie in the New York City Batiks. On the 6th inst., the total stood at 6,555,0001., being more than a million dollars larger than at any previous period. Increased firmness has been manifested in the market for public securities, and a slight advance bas taken place. Altogether there is an improved tone, but the transactions are still very much restricted. Consols have been 961 to 971 for money, and 97- to 97k for aocount. They are now 96/ to 97 and 97 to 97i respectively. The March Exchequer Bills are 363. to 38s. premium ; the June ditto, 35 3 . to' 38s. premium ; and the Bonds, 1859, 1001 to 101 k. In the Foreign Stock Market business is quiet, but quotations exhibit *an upward tendency. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 1011 ; Brazilian 4 per Cents., 101/ ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 81,4 82 ; ditto 3 per Cents., .56,f ; Russian 44 per Cents., 1001 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 44i ; ditto Deferred, 26i ; and ditto Certificates, 4i. Business in the Railway Share Market this Morning has been rather active, and an improve rueut of about Ito per Cent. may be quoted on most of the leading lines. Caledonians, Eastern Counties, Great Northerns, North-Eastern (Ber wick), and North-Eastern, (York), improved ss. Great Western, North-Western, and South- Eastern, 10s. , and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1/. In the Foreign and Colonial lines the transactions have been moderate, but there is little variation to report in prices. East Indian have improved 10s., and Grand Trunk of Canada, ss. Mining Shares have been neglected. Fortuna are quoted 2 to 2k, and Pontjibaud 6. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares Are at slightly reduced rates. City Bank declined about ss. ; London and Westminster, ss. ; Union of London improved ss. ; and Provincial of Ire land, 10s. ; Electric Telegraph declined 11.

A number of noblemen and gentlemen have sent in their names as cammitt-e-men. NEW EAST INDIAN DIRECTOR.—We have much plea sure in stating that Lord Ellenborough has recalled Lieut.-General Sir G. Pollock to the hoard of direction of the Fast India Company. Sir G. Pollack succeeds Sir Lawrence Peel, whose term of appointment expires in April next, and who does not wish to be reappointed. --Homeefard DEATH OF THE EARL OF RANPURLY.—We regret to announce the demise, in his seventy-second year, of the Earl of Ranfurly. Intelligence of the mournful event was received by telegraph yesterday moraine, from Ireland, by Mr. and Lady Adelaide Goff, and other members of his lordship's family staying in town. The lamented earl expired at 8 o'clock on Sunday evening, at Dungan non-park, Tyrone, after a lengthened illness. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE NEW COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—Yesterday afternoon as a carpenter, named Jeffreys, was walking across the roof of the new Covent garden Theatre for the purpose of continuing his work upon the skylight frames, some of the slating gave way, and he fell through to a depth of nearly a hundred feet. thighs and ribs were broken, and he was otherwise frightfully injured, and died almost immediately. A reply to the Tiverton address which was forwarded to his lordship about a fortnight since has been received from Lord Palmerston. He thanks his constituents for entertaining so favourable an opinion of his o induct while at the head of affairs ; and adds, that he cares not on which side of the house he sits, if the present Ministry adopt the measures and carry on the intentions of their immediate predecessors. He intimates his intention not to give the Derby government unnecessary trouble. Western Times. About 170,0001. in geld was sent into the Ihnk yes terday, of which 80,0001. was from Russia, the remainder being chi-fly Australian. A. letter from Milan, of the 16th, gays The execu tion of Orsini has produced a slight agitation here. Many people received black crape bands enclosed in anonymous letters, recommending them to wear the bands round their arms on the day d f the executi on. Some threw these letters with th eir conients into the fire. Others, remembering the tricks of the police in old times, suspected a trap, and, by way of precaution, sent the letters to the police-office. Three men have been arrested on suspicion, one of whom was a fellow-prisoner with Orsini at Mantua SHA.7 - t.ii.:, ill PAK ET ',i , This Day). RA I LAVA YS.

On Sunday last, says the Northern, Daily Press, the new schools at Seaham, which have been built at the sole expense of the _Marchioness of London derry for the benefit of her workpeople in the neigh bourhood, were opened by her ladyship in person. The proceedings commenced with a hymn sung by the children, and an appropriate prayer by the Rev. Mr. Sco t ; after which Lady Londonderry delivered the following address : "My young friends,—l trust you will feel that in building this school, which by God's mercy I have been permitted to open this day, I give you the strongest proof of my interest in your welfare. You all know the parable of the Ten Talents, and 1 doubt not you think a large portion has fallen to my share. I do not deny this, or seek to shun the accompanying responsibility ; and while I reflect on the number of persons in my employ, and de pendent upon me, my heart sinks and fails to as sure me that I can do my duty by all ; but here, at least, under my own eye, and near my own hearth, I humbly trust that I have not been found want ing. A church is provid.d for you, where, if you do not attend, the fault will rest on your own head —a school, where if you do not send your children, the sin will be yours. And I have had the good fortune to find as excellent clergyman to take eharge of you, whose talents and merits, as well as his devotion to his duty, need no praise from me ; for short as is the period he has been among you— heavily as he been tried by sickness and anxiety— from all I hear, I believe you have learned to ap preciate and value him. Do not imagine I take credit for anything I have done ; I ferl I am only an instrument in God's hands, and s) far as this new mining district is concerned, I have been per mitted to effect thus much; but remember, having done so, here my responsibility ends and yours be gins. The school, teachers, church, and minister are all provided for you, and the talents are now trans ferred from me to you—bewar how you misuse them. Respect and obey the voice of your clergy man; frequent and worship in that church, and make your children attend this school. You have now no valid excuse—see you make no idle one. Re member youth is the time to learn, as spring is the seed time and autumn the harvest ; and as you sow so shill you reap. In the worts of Scripture, Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.' Do not sacrifice your children's welfare in time and eter nity from a selfish desire to avail yourselves cf their services and assistance in household duties, or from a greediness of gain in teeking them to earn the meat that perishetb, before they have laid up some spiritual store of that treasure which no man can take away. I can but humbly counsel, and having done so much, leave the event in God's hands, only assuring you of my anxious desire to advise you aright, and my earnest wish to do my duty by all who from circumstances are more pecu liarly under my care." This address, delivered with much f ee li ng , an d with that power and clearness of enunciation for which the noble Marchioness is remarkable, was heard with the deepest attention, and appeared to ice oduce an impression which augurs well for the furtherance of the benevolent purpose so deeply cherished, and so powerfully expressed by the noble founder of the school. We cannot but heartily wish God speed to every such undertaking. Won by two lengths; the same between the second and third; bad fourth.

DEATH OE ALDERMAN FAREBROTHER.—This vene rable member of the Corporation of the City of London died at half-past three o'clock in the morning of yester• day, at his country mansion near Clapham, after a most lingering affl ction. He died at the matured age of 76. The deceased gentleman was an alderman of the City of London for the long term of 32 years, during which pro tracted period he represented the Lime-street ward in that capacity, and for which there is now, of course, a vacancy. There appears to be no doubt but that Mr. Meohi will be the successor of the worthy alderman.

The Ministerial er.es r, of (mere. , very euery at the relive tes, wiecli we hive i , our ilut t. make o tie I inpei ial system of govel n mont. To prohibit the trans!ation of any docu ment, and then to disoeit paragraphs so as to be able to contradict them, is the usual conduct of the authorities in such cases, and it has not been wanting on the present occasion. But, on the whole, the answer of the Government papers has been only a passionate denial, interspersed with in dignant complaints of our falsehood and malignity. Now that they have all had their say, we may reply that the facts we stated are unhappily too true, and that no one acquainted with the present condition of France will doubt them. Repression and surveillance have been carried to their extreme point, and are producing a social uneasiness, of which no one can predict the result. We return to the subject, not because we are affected by thecon tradiction of the Moniteur or the objurgations of the semi-official organs, but because it involves matters of great importance to our own country, to France, and to the world in general. We cannot consent to remain silent while a system is esta blished which changes all the relations heretofore subsist'ng between Englishmen and their nearest neighbours. We cannot cry " peace" where there is no peace, and, in deference to those who would purchase immediate quiet at any price, forbear to notioe events which seem to us full of calamity to Europe. A still further responsibility is thrown on us by the extinction of French journalism as an independent power. Till of late the world could learn the opinion of France from the Parisian news papers, and there was no reason why we should in terfere to tell Frenchmen what they should desire and what they ought to think of their own Govern ment. But now the French press is in London. In this country alone can the sentiments and wishes of large classes of educated Frenchmen be made known ; in this country alone can facts which pass from mouth to mouth in Paris be boldly printed and published. Both Europe and the New World look to the English press, and notoriously to this journal, for intelligence by which to direct their steps in political or commercial matters, and it would be a great loss to every community should we practice an undue reticence through a belief that because Governments are at peace there fore a veil is to be thrown over every misdeed of power. It is certainly the duty of Cabinets and Ambassadors to speak no word which can give offence to a friendly State, but a public journal exists for other purposes, and as it in no way compromises the Government of its own country it is at liberty to comment upon any deficiencies which it may observe abroad, and to give its own citizens the best means of forming an opinion on other nations. The manner in which Englishmen are affected by the system now established in France is of the deepest concern to us all. So much is this felt that the motion of Mr. Monckton Manes this evening on the new passport regulations will, no doubt, attract a large attendance in the Commons. The fact is, that next to the French themselves, we, the busy, active, travelling English, are the greatest sufferers by the fear-inspired precautions of the Imperial Government. The connection between the two countries has been for years becoming closer. Tens of thousands of English are habitually domesticated in France. Economy, or health, or a more genial climate is sought by multitudes of temporary exiles from this country, and certain towns in France contain complete colonies of Eng lish of every rank and condition. Then there are a large number of boys and girls at school for the purpose of acquiring the French language ; there are vast numbers of English workpeople employed on the great engineering enterprises of the country ; there are English grooms and coachmen and nurses in many of the wealthier families of the capital. Then there is the crowd of visitors to Paris ; those who go to spend a season, those who go for a month, those who go with an excursion ticket to look about them for a few days in that pleasant city as a respite from many months of toil. Altogether it may be said that his Mejesty Napoleon 111. has a large population of temporary English subjects, all of whom are now exposed to the operation of his new system of police. Last of all there are the travellers merely passing through the country. France is in the centre of Europe, and her railways are in a high degree supported by those who are travelling between England and the New World on the one band and the Continental States on the other. Confiding in the maintenance of liberal regulations, we have given every help to our neighbours in making their country the great central station of Europe. Our communication with the East, with India, and Australia is by Marseilles, and to favour France we discouraged the rising port of Trieste. Then the way to Swi zerland, to a great part of Germany, to Italy, to Spain, is now through the French ter ritory, and when Englishmen tolk shares in the railways which have given France this advantage, it was with the belief that France could never be anything but a wisely and liberally governed State. We need not mention the great and in creasing trade between the two countries, and tbo interest which so large a proportion of our people have in free coming and going between England and every large town of the French empire. But what is the prospect which we have before us ? Thera cannot be a doubt that if the Emperor's Government persists in its present course, all these relations must be utterly deranged. It must be remembered that our present intimacy with France grew up under a milder and wiser system. We are told much about the empire and the alliance, and the old hostility of the French people which INapo leen 111. has either repressed or turned to good will. But we are a practical nation and look to facts, and we remember that previous to the estab lishment of the imperial power Englishmen were able to go to France without a passport and live there for months, and that all that was required was a simple permis to leave the country. Domestic servants, workpeople, seafaring men, cattle-dealers, and the like, passed to and fro with hardly a ques tion from the police. In short, it was recognised that the passport system, if maintained at all, should at least be a mere form with those English who only visited the country for business and plea sure, and whO conferred by their enterprise or their expenditure no small benefit ou the Continent. But now it appears all this is at an end. Grateful for all the kindness of the Emperor in restraining his legions, and his help in settling the Princi palities or Schleswig-H.olstein, we are to acquiesce in the overthrow of all to which we had become accustomed during the last 40 years. Paris is to be forbidden ground for every one who excites the susceptible suspicion of the French authorities by a word or a motion. We are told that the Legisla tiveß dy have just granted 1,200,000 francs for the secret police, in addition to 2,000,000 francs voted before, and that the cost of this worthy body is nfessedly more than three times as great as intho time of Louis Philippe. Travellers from England are especially the objects of its vigilance. If a man described as a British subject does not come up to the ideal which the Prefecture has formed of John Bull, if lie wears a beard or speaks French fairly, he is likely to be committed to the peculiar care of a secret agent in plain clothes. But even the chance of being followed and spied upon is a less intolerable nuisance than the absolute obstruction which is placed in the way of travelers. No one may land in France without a passport, and an Englishman must have a passport granted by the Foreign-office and via by the French Consul of the place where he resides. This, it will be remembered, concerns every person passing through France on his way to the neighbouring States, or to Turkey, or Egypt, or India, or China, or Australia. The whole English nation is forced to undergo the trouble, delay, and expense of ob taining this document, and no exception is made in favour of any class. The inconvenience and suffer ing have already been most grievous. Our police reports contain narratives of persons unable to find an acquaintance who is also acquainted with a ma gistrate, and consequently obliged to remain in London, although called by the most pressing business to some place in, or beyond, the French territory. Even those who possess a Foreign•offrce passport are obliged to have the French Con sul's vise repeated for every trip, much to their annoyance and loss of time. It is evident that the great body of our poorer countrymen will be almost totally debarred from communic i tion with the Continent, and commercial enter prises will, consequently, suffer from the want of a free circulation of labour. Furthermore, our Government is made, as it were, an accomplice in the system of espionnage. Why should it bind itself to give recommendations of character for the benefit of the French police ? An Englishman wishes to go to France, and the French will not let him land until Lord Malmesbury has given him a paper requesting the world in general to protect him. Why should Lord Malmesbury or his succes sors refuse this request unless the said Englishman knows a mayor or magistrate or a friend of those functionaries ? It seems to to that every English man has a legal right to a passport, and that it is for the French authorities to decide whether his character pleases them. It is, we think, a mistake for a British Government to mix itself up in any way with the system ; for by granting a passport to one, and refusing it to another, it makes itself in some degree responsible for the behaviour of the favoured individual. The present odious regula tions certainly cannot last, and the best thing the Foreign-office can do is to grant passports to every British subject who requires one.

Yesterday a deputation from the districts of Westminster, Pimlico, Chelsea, Brompton, waited upon the First Lord of th e T reasury, for the out to him th e i mpropriety of passing along the imposingpurpos eoaf pointin new Chelsea-bridge. toll on f g oot-passengers . The deputation comprised members of the ves tries of the parishes more immediately interested in the ma. ter. It consisted of Sir J. V. Shelley, Bart., M.P. ; Sir De Lacy Evans, M. P. ; the Hon. George Byng, M.P. ; Mr. IL Hanbury, M.P. ; Mr. J. A.lcock, M.P. ; Mr. Slaney, M.P. ; Mr. Wynne, M. P. ; Mr. Brady, M. P. ; Mr. Tite, M. P. ; Mr. Miller, M. P. There were also present, as connected with the respective parishes repre sented by the deputation, Captain Lambert, B. Belcher, J. Jenkinson, J. Hamilton, Dr. Lewis, Dr. Aldis, Mr. Taylor, Mr. W. Jones, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. E. Jones, Mr. Burgess, Mr. Gooch, Mr. Clarke, Mr. Howell, Mr. Bertolacci, Mr. Engle field, Mr. Leete, Mr. Bradley, Mr. Hutchins, Ste. Sir J. V. Shelley, Bart., M.P., together with, Mr. Bertolacci, one of the vestrymen of Sc. G2orge's, Hanover-square, presented a memorial from the vestry of that parish, against the impo siti,al of a toll on foot passengers on the bridge; and a similar memorial was presented by the Hon. George Byng, M.P., and Mr. W. Tite, M.P., who appeared as the representatives of the vestry of Chelsea. Sir JOHN SHELLEY, in introducing the deputa tion, said he had no dr.ubt the present Prime Minister was aware of the facts connected with this case. A similar deputation had waited upon Lord Palmerston last year as regarded the same sub ject ; and that noble lord had given that deputa tion to understand that an arrangement on the subject would be made. The object of the Govern ment was to make a park for the public ; but that was not a public park for the entrance to which the public had to pay ; and it was in consequence of this that he came forward on the present occasion. If they viewed the matter in a pecu niary point of view, there was 104 acres o f l an d in the market o n the other side of the bridge, and, if they sold this at the advanced rate which the re mission of these tolls would permit of their doing, they would he insuring a great benefit to the com munity. The hon. baronet then went on to state - the proceedings which had taken place respecting the matter since it had been brought before parlia ment. It was well known that a petition had been presented to Parliament for the opening of this bridge to the public, and he might say that such petiticn had the favour of the general body of the public. It had, however, been disregarded by the late Government, and ie) , now came to the Go vernment now in power, in order to see whether they could got that justice out of them which they considered due to the public. (Hear, hear.) Sir BE LACY EVA_NS said he had also been sent there as one of a deputation, and he could most sincerely state the feelings of the working classes residing in the locality on the subject. He had at tended several meetings of these parties, and he found that the spirit that actuated them was for having the toll put off this bridge. So far as his own opinion was concerned, he thought it was absurd that Government should form, what they called a park for the benefit of the people, and that they should put an embargo on the entrance to that park, so far as the people are concerned. Mr. BYNG, M.P., said he had attended several public meetings on the suhject, and the opinion he had heard expressed at all of them was, that the toll on this bridge should be remitted. Mr. TITE, also stated, that he, being aware of the opinions of the community respecting the matter, could state that the general feeling of the public was against the imposition of any such toll as that which would be levied under the present measure. Dr. ALDIS also addressed the noble earl at the head of the Government, pointing out the sanatory advantages of the adoption of such a measure as that hinted at in the memorial presented to him. Mr. R. HANBURY, M. P., supported the memorial which had been presented. He did so on the ground that he considered the memorialists had reason for complaint, and lie could not see, after the Govern ment had put themselves to the expense of the formation of a people's park, why they could after that charge the people for getting into it. Lord DERBY said he had listened withthe greatest attention to the representations which bad been made to him by the deputation which appeared be fore him. In respect of this case, it was laid down by act of Parliament. So far as he was aware, the act provided that a toll should be levied on the bridge in order to make up for the sum of money expended upon it in its erection. If it was found that the expense could be made up in any other shape, no doubt it would be done ; but under pre sent circumstances, be could gi ve no f ur th er inti mation ou the matter. Ile looked at the question in this way—there was a large sum of money settieli the country had laid out on the formation and erec tion of these works ; the public credit was pledged in a manner in respect of them, and they were sow called upon to implement the contract which had been entered into respecting them. He therefore looked at this question as one in respect to which Parliament was pledged, but at the same time he could net help sayii.g that there was subject for consideration, whether the sum to be derived from she increase of value which the land to be sold would bring would not compensate for what might be lost on the remission of toll upon foot passengers pat•sing over the bridge. If it can be proved that the increased value of the property by the opening of the bridge toll-free would cover the expenditure which bad been laid out upon the formation of this park, and for which the public credit is pledged, he, for one, would not have the least objection. All he could say on the present occasion was, that he would take the subject into consideration, and that if lie found he could, consistent with the duty he owed to the public, remit the impost complained of, he would at once do so. (Hear.) Mr. SLANEY , M. P., also urg e d up on hi s l or d s hip the propriety of remitting this toll, and stated that it would be a great advantage to the community. Sir DE LACY EVANS likewise said the public out of doors were looking for a measure such as was demanded by the present deputation which had waited upon his lordship, . and he hoped that they would not be disappointed,.. The Earl of DRIB Y- Well, all I can say is, that we are bound to see that the amount be made up which it has cost the country for the formation of this bridge, and if we find that we can remit the toll, as a means of making up that amount, we will do so. In the meantime we have faith to keep with the country. The expense was laid out oa the faith of this toll, and until we see that by the remission of it the surplus can be made up by the advanced price which the property in the vicinity of the park may yield us, we do not consider our selves in a position to remit the impost. At the same time, we will take the matter into our anxi ous consideration, and if we find that we can, con sistently with our duty to the public service, remit the tali, we will at once do so. The deputation, after acknowledging the courte ous manner in which they had been received by the noble earl at the head of the Government and the noble lord the First Commissioner of Works, then withdrew.
