MONEY MARKET Armi COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCL CITY, Two o'CLocx. The transactions in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days have not been very extensive, but for most of the lead ing staples full values have been realised. Sugar of good and fine quality is at fully late quotations, but inferior descriptions are a shade cheaper. Coffee has been dull, as large quantities are announced for public competition during the week, and purchasers have deferred their operations. Plantation Ceylon, however, is moderately inquired for, at about for mer. values. Rice has been inactive, and but little business has been reported ; previous rates how ever, are current. The demand for currants and Valencia raisins has slightly fallen off, and the former are at slightly reduced values. Saltpetre has exhibited little activity ; and tallow has been dull. P.Y.C. on the spot has declined to 545.; June delivery to 535. 3d. ; and last three months, 60s. 3d. per owt. _ _ Letter; from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday closed steadily, and prices of all descriptions tended upwards. The sales amounted to 15,000 bales, 5,000 of which were taken by the speculators, and 2,000 by exporters. The Railway Share Market presented a quiet aspect, and quota tions slightly receded. Two important meetings will take place to day- viz., of the Pernambuco Railway proprietors, and the depositors at Messrs. Cdlvert's, the brewers ; whose difficulties have formed a leading topic 01 conversation among all classes during the las few months. With regard to the former, a most important question has to be dis cussed and determined, but this will probably be deferred until the next meeting, the present one being mesely convened for the purpose of adjourn ment. Unfortunately there is a quarrel between Mr. De Mornay, one of the concessionaires, and the board of directors. Both parties have published numerous letters and pamphlets, some of them of a ♦oluminous description, and, as usual in such eases, their statements respectively made are very contradictory. Of course a good deal of anxiety is manifested amongst the proprietary, the amount involved in the undertaking being three quarters of a million sterling. It is, therefore, most desirable—nay, almost necessary for its wel fare—that the disagreement should be satisfactorily and at once arranged, especially as the Cora- PaeY, besides this personal misuncierstanding, are stated to be at issue on one or two import ant points with the Brazilian Government. It behoves the adjourned meeting, therefore, to dis cuss the questions before them seriously and calmly in order that the project may be carried out with that success which was originally anticipated. The other meeting—that of Messrs. Calvert's creditors —is equally momentous. Here a still larger amount of money is at stake, and the decision which will be arrived at is of vital importance to the interests of all who may unfortunately be concerned. The question to be solved is, whether the business of the firm shall be carried on under a deed of inspection, until the liabilities are discharged, or whether liti gation shall be permitted to take place. If the statements put forth by Messrs. Calvert are correct, and the assets, fairly etimated, are more than sufficient to meet the engagements in full should time be allowed, then it would be folly on the part of any creditor or class of creditors to !mar the prospects of all by a rash recourse to legal pro ceedings. In that case a large portion of the as sets would be frittered away, and the final payment must show something much less than 20s. in the pound, while the position of the firm, whose difficulties all must regret, will be rendered still More unsatisfactory. In short, bankruptcy should be avoided in order to improve the prospects of the creditors, and to enable the partners, if possible, to surmount their troubles and continue their exten sive business. About 22,0001. in mixed gold was taken from the Bank yesterday. There is a moderate demand for money to-day at previous quotations. There was a meeting of the shareholders of the Pernambuco Railway Company to-day, but it was raerely to adjourn to the 25th inst. The Chairman, R. Benson, Esq., having put the resolution to that effect, the meeting adjourned accordingly. The English Stock market still presents an un favourable appearance, but the transactions are limited, and the alteration in prices is not im portant. Political rumours alone have produced this flattue e, a fear being arouQed lest the motion to be brought forward on Thursday should lead to any Ministerial difficulties. Although this is quite improbable, and considered so by the public at large, still it must be admitted that the statements current upon the subjtaet at the Stock Excharge bave dispersed those symptoms of heaviness lately witnessed. Consuls for money have been 97k 31, and for account 971 1 and 97i They are now 87 and 971 respectively. The New Three per Cents. are marked 951 96.

A very moderate amount of business has been reported in the Railway Share Market this morn ing, and a further decline of about k to 1 per cent. has taken place in most of the leading lines. Great 'Western, North Western, South Western, Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, North British and North Eastern (Berwick) have declined 10s. Lan cashire and Yorkshire, 15s. ; Eastern Counties, Great N or th ern , Midl an d and Vale of Neath, 11., and South Eastern, 1/. ss.

OLD COURT. (Babre the Recorder.) Two men, named Wheeler, father and son, described as coffeehouse keepers in Whitechapel, were indicted for stealing a young cock from the premises of Mr. Baxter, a gentleman residing at Chigwell. The men had been to Romford, and were apprehended at Mile end, the fowl being in their possession, together with three others whose ownership had not been traced. A loquacious old woman was the principal witness, and though she was very positive about the identity of the fowl, which was produced and made a violent noise, her testimony was not of the clearest or most satisfactory character. Mr. Ribton pointed out the defects in the evidence, and stated, on the authority of the prisoners, that they had bought the fowl of Mr. Baxter, who dtd not appear to give the Court any information upon the subject. The jury felt the force of Mr. Ribton's statement, and returned as their verdict that the prisoners were Not Guilty. NEW COURT. TITTERING COUNTERNEIT COlN.—Thomas Harrison, a youth, was indicted for uttering a counterfeit half .crown, and also with having other counterfeit money in his possession, well knowing it to be counterfeit. From the evidence it appeared that on the 9th of March, the prisoner, who was the son of a labouring man, residing in the neighbourhood of the Elepl:ant and Castle, went into Pettiooat-lane, and there, in purchasing some fish of a man named Hart, ten. dered in payment half--crown. Hart immediately discovered that the piece of money was counterfeit, and told the prisoner so, who said, "Is it Y then I'll give you another, and make no noise about it." Hart refused the proposal, Saying, "No, you've been to me two or three times before to-day, and before I let you go I must look over my money." He (prosecutor) went into a public-house to examine his pockets, leaving the prisoner in charge of another person. On looking over his cash, he discovered that he had two counterfeit shillings, aed he resolved to give the prisoner into custody. He (prisoner), on seeing Hart, ran away, but was captured by a man named Hyame, and on his vay towards the station-hous, the prisoner threw away sonething,which was afterwards found to be two counterfeit shillings. On being searched at the station-honse,a quantity:of good money was I found upon his person, but anongst it was a bad shilling, which was proved to have keen east in the same mould from which one of the base shillings found in Hart's pocket was made. For the prisoner it was contended that it was a case of mistaken identity, and that tin good money found upon him was not the produce of parsing bad money, but was his own money which, according to the statement of his mother, he had saved duri,g the winter, and which she had given him the morning he was taken into cus tody to purchase some clothes with. Two policemen swore they had frequently seen the prisoner in the company of persons of noted bad cha racter, but that they hal neve? known him to have been " in trouble." The jury found the prisoner guilty . The Common Sergeant sentenced Lim to 12 months' mprisonment, with hard labotr. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.) MARLBO KU LJ h.-S IRE ET. INDECENT BEHAVIOI7R IN Ef YbE-PARK. —Henry Ridge, 59, of GO, Admiralterrace, Veuxha I-bridge -road, was charged before Mr. Bingham with indecently exposing his person at Hyde-park. W. Bowcock, of 43, Praed•ytreet, porter on the Great ,Western Railway, said that on the previous afternoon, labout four, he was in Hyde -park, where he saw the prisorier fxposiog his person to a young female, who had four or six children with her, of abut the age of twelve, near the Magazine close to the Serpentine. The prisoner then walked away to some hurdles near the Victoria-gate, where he repeated the same conduct to the same female—altogether he did it four times. The female asked him to get a policeman, and he endeavoured to do so. The prisoner did not seem to have been drinking, He spoke to the park constable and he was taken into custody. W. P. Nolan, park constable No. 21, said he took the prisoner into custody and asked him why he bad done so. He admitted having his clothes disarranged, but said there was no harm. The witness further stated that at the time in question there were a large number of carriages containing company waiting to see the Queen, it being the time when the park was always fu!l. The prisoner said if he had done so he was sorry. Mr. Bingham said the prisoner bad not only done it once but had repeated the offence several times. He should mark his sense cf his conduct by sending him to prison for three months with hard labour. QUARTERLY _RETURN OF MARRIAGES. BIRTHS, AND DEATHS. This return, being of the marriages solemnised in dOctober, which NovN ov e t i o n o b k e r,D place December, b j e a r, n u l a B r s y 7 , , and l the births in ab ruaryMarch, an d deaths nd 1858, has just been published. It comprises the births and deaths registered by 2,196 registrars in all the dis tricts of England during the winter quarter that ended on March 31, 1358 ; and the marriages in 12,272 churches or chapels, about 3,939 registered places of worship unconnec t.ed with the Established Church, and 629 superintendent Registrar's offices, in the quarter that ended on December 31, 1857. The return presents an unfavourable aspect. The marriages of the year 1857 and of the last quarter of that year were below the average number. The weather was severe, the people suffered, and the death-rate in the first quarter of the year 1858 was heavier than it is ott an average ; but the birth-rate in the same quarter, though lower than in the three previous ivexters, was above the average. The population of the country is still increasing. MARars.GEs.—Tae Christmas quarter is always distin• guished in &gland and Wales by the multitude of its marriages. Ninety-one thousand seven hundred and seventy-two persons married in the last three months of 1857. The marriages of the quarter were at the rate of 1.878 persons rxiarried to 100 living in a year ; the de cennial average rate of the corresponding quarter being 1.994. BIRTHEL—The births of 171,001 children, born alive, were registered in the quarter that ended on March 31 ; a number exceeding by 620 the births in the correspond ing winter quarter of 1857 ; and the highest number that was ever ;registered within the same time and raison. Child rti i t were b orn at t h e rate of 1,900 a day. The births in tht, quarter were at the r a t e o f 3.568 noun ally to 100 o f th e population, the average being 3.518. The birth,, fiuct uate little in comparison with the mar riages and the deaths in the several divisions of the king tic worthy nAe king dom ; but th e d ecrease of bi rt h s i n the northern coun ties o o f ar n° P e o .I PULATION.--171,001 births and 125,902 deaths were registered in the first ninety days of the year ; an:d the natural inereas-3 of population in that period was therefore 45,099, or 501 (telly. The natural increase in the winter quarter of 1857 was €. 8 7 daily. The falling off in the increase of population is referable to the useceesively high rate of mortality during the past winter : for the births exceeded by 7 daily the births in the Winter of 1857. The daily natural in crea-e populati on i n th e United Kingdom was pro- bab of lyabout 75;0 daily. 19,146 emigran s sailed from the ports of Me United Kingdom at which there are Government emigration agents ; of whom 7,230, or al lowing persons. of undistinguished birth-place, 8,142, were of Engli ail origin. On an average 90 English l e ft our shores daily. 5,683 of the English emigrants sailed to the Australian colonies; 2,299 to the United States; none to the North American colonies. Nothing i s more rernarLes.ble in the movement of our population than the decrease of emigration since the war. In the three moilths of 1849, January, February and March, 60,626 emigrants sailed from our parts; 49,524 to the United States, 1,337 to British North America, and 8,627 to the Australian colonies ; in the corresponding three months of 1858 only 19,146 emi grants sailed from the same ports, 8,208 to the United States, 24 to British North America, and 9,867 to the Australian colonies. PRICE or PROVISIONR—The price of provisions has undergone groat fluctuations. The pri ce o f w h ea t i n the first three mont hs of eac h ef the three years 1856, 1357, and 1853, was on an average 72.. 43.. 565. 10d., 46e. sd. a quarter. The fall of p r i ce s i nce 1856 has been 26 per cent., and si nes 1857 it has b e en 18 per c en t. Beef and mutton by t he car case at Leadenhall and New gate were cheaper in the winter of 1846 than in the winter of 1857. The price of beef fell from 52J, to 541. Sid, a pound. Beef is at the same price, mutton is dearer than it was i n th e first three months of 1856. Potatoes present an unfor tunate exception ; they attained an exho r bit an t p r i ce . than the lB5B, pries The York Regents at t he waterside market, South war k, i a n p t o h u e n t d h , r o e f e m w u ia tt t o .e n rs f o r f om lB 6 s 4 6 l to 1857, and sold i n r e l s B p s e 7 c , - tieely at 86a., 110 s., and 152 5. a ton. The price in 1858 anti 77 pser 39 cent. higher than th e price in 1856. The wa greengrocer's bill has thus increased, and th e su pply o f vegetables for the poor population has been inadequate. THE PUBLIC HEALTH. -125 ,902 p e r cent. higher thaa deaths were regis tered in the three months ending on March 31. This number exceeds by 17,375 the deaths in the correspond. ing winter quarter cf the previous year, and by 22,694 the deaths in the winter quarter of 1856. The rate of mortality in the three winter quarters was 2'186. 2 . 292, and 2.627 per cent. per annum ; or about 22, 23, and 26 per 1,000. As a general rule the mortality in Eng land is highest in cold winters, levvest in winters of mo derate temperature, and it has a tendency to rise when the temperature of the winter quarter exceeds forty degrees of Fahrenheit. The mortality of the quarter was at the rate of 2.854 per cent. in the town districts, and at the rate of 2.367 per cent. in the coun try districts, thus exceeding the average in town dis tricts by .176, and the average of country districts by .141. The cause of the increase, ther e fore, pervad e d but its pressure wp.s most severely Tice deaths in th e t h ree mont h s f t e o l w t n in an t d he cou to n w tr n y s. ; amounted to 125,902, and the mortality was at the rate of 26 deaths annually in 1,000 of the population. Had the 17 deaths ity would have amounted to 82,000. annually The excess the mortal been at the rate of in 1,000, of deaths over this number in the 90 days was 43,902, or 488 daily ; which it was shown in the last quarterly report may be properly designated unnatural deaths,. birb igbition SUN OFFICE, Seven. o'clock.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This Evening. ) ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal assent was given by cornmisqien to the following bills, viz.: —Exchequer Bills (20,911,5001.), Exchequer Bawls (2,000,0001.), Cue oms' Duties (No. 2), Excise Duties, General Board of Health, (Skipton, &c.). Cambridge University Matriculation and Degrees, Birmingham and Staffordshire Gas, Chel tenham Water, Whitehaven Harbour, Edinburgh Life Assurance Company, Chester Gas, Nottingham Gas, Madras Irrigation and Canal, HaF•ling den of Rawtenstall Water, Gosport Water, Folke aton Water, Liskeard and Looe Union Canal Company Railway, and Acton's Naturalisation Act Amendment. Tne Royal Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Salisbury, and the Earl of Hardwicke. Their lordships adjourned during pleasure. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S PROCLAMA TION. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he bad to beg the indulgence of their lordships while he corrected an error which had occurred last evening. He came down to the house last night without ever expecting that a question likely t r lead to a discussion would arise. From what could be gathered from the noble marquis's observa'ions, it seemed the private letter to which so much allusion had been made, was received by Mr. Vernon Smith before the proclamation was pub lished. (Hear, hear, from the Government side of the house.) The Earl of DERBY acquitted the noble marquis of any intentional misstatement, but he contended that it was the bounden duty of Mr. Vernon Smith to have forwarded to the Pre,ident of the li;oard of Control the note he received fr. , m Lord Canning in which he stated that the proclamation was to bo accompanied by an Explanatory le'ter of the grounds on which his procla mation was issued. In that case the Government could have altered its detertnir ation if it had thought proper. (Hear, hear.) The conduct of Mr. Vernon Smith formed a marked contrast to that of the noble earl the late Secretary of Foreign Affairs. (Hear, hear.) He knew well the importance attached to private letters received by persons connected with the Govern ment of the country. (Hear, hear.) Such a proceeding as that adop - ed by Mr. V. Smith was quite different to that nsnally adopted. Earl GRANVILLE said he bad acted in the manner which the noble earl had mentioned with re pent to all his private letters to his successor. (Hear, bear.) Mr. Smith was absent in Ireland when this letter arrived, and he never c ml,l have supposed that an incidental pasage in a printed letter could be of any importance to the Government. RESIGNATION OF THE EARL OF EARL OF ELLENB ()ROUGH. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH taid the letter which had been alluded to was receive I on the 12th of April, the answer was not written till the 18:h and not forwarded till the 26th ; there was, therefore, ample time for reflection. Yee more I reflect, continued the noble ear), the more lam convinced that it was abso lutely necessary to send the letter. My lords, what I am accused of is not the writing of that letter, neither have I yet heard anything in defence of the confisca tion of Oude. The only question is whether I bad a right to publish the letter. Now, my lords, the publication of that letter was an act entirely my own, and I do not shrink from the responsibility. I knew what was right, and I did it. (Cheers.) I have served the people of India faithfully far 30 years, and I will not now do an act at the close of a public life to injure them. (Hear, hear.) This question will be ♦iewed in a very different light in India to that in which it is viewed here. In this country it is looked upon as one purely of party, and I have deter mined that it shall rest and be turned solely on its own merits, and I have accordingly tendered to her Majesty my resignation, which ha 4 been accepted. After a few words from Earls GREY and GRANVILLE, Lord DERBY passed a glowing eulogium upon the noble earl (Eilenbor,m2h) and the subject dropped. LEFT SITTING. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Evening.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BILLS. The Maidstone Gas Bill was read a third time and passed.

The house went into committee on this subject when, Mr. FORSTER moved the following resolution : That a stamp duty of five pounds shall be payable for and upon thu first memorial which may be enrolled pursuant to a bill to enable the Globe Insurance Company to alter and amend some of the provisions of their deed of settlement, and to confer further powers on the company, from which memorial the :tames of the persona who shall be deemed, held, and taken to be the trustees of the company shall appear, and upon and for every other such memorial in which the name of any person shall for the first time be inserted as a trustee of the company the like sum of five pounds, in lieu of the Stamp Duties which would otherwise be pay able upon the deeds, surrenders, admissions, or assurances in the law which, in case the said bill were not passed, would be required in order from time to time to ♦est the trust estates and property of the c.)mpany in the trustees for the time being of the comparly.—.4% greed to.

TEMPEST gave notice that he should move as an amendment to tho motion of the hon. member for Oxford (Mr. Cardwell), to the effect that this house in its present state of information, ab stains from expressing an opinion on the policy of any proclamation which may have been issued by the Governor-General of India in relation to Oude, or on the course pursued by the Government with reference to such proclamation. (Cheers.) THE COLONIES. Visconnt BURY gave notice that he should on the Bth June move the appointment of a select committee relative to the expediency of putting Penang, Singapore, Malacca, and other p'eees In the East under the con trol of the colonial department. POSTPONEMENT OF THE VOTE OF CENSURE. Mr. CARDWELL said it was the wish of her Majesty's Government that the motion ref which he had given notice fcr Thursday should be discussed on that day, and he appealed to hon. membe'-a who had notices on the paper for that day to give way, that the motion might have precedence on that day. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HEADLAM said he would give way and post pone his motion if other hon. members would do the same. (Hear, hear ) Sir J TRELA.WNY declined to postpone his mo tion on Tontedey relative to the Church-rate Bill, unless the Government vvouid give him another day. (Hear, bear.) Mr. CARD WELL said it rested on the Government under the circumstances to state whether the motion ~bould come on on Thursday or on the fuduwing day (Friday). Mr DISRAELI—Friday is quite at the right hon. (C.., ere.) Mr. CARDWELL —Tnen I bring it on on Fri day. (One.' s.) BENGAL ESTABLISH MENT. Mr. W. VANSITTART asked the Secretary of the Board of Centrol whether it was true that the three new E,repean infantry regiments, already authorised tor the &eget estabiishment, were to be officered by a simple transfer of European officers borne on the rolls of the fiat six Native Sepoy corps of the line ; if so, what peculiar claim the officers of the fiat six Native regi ments, ne longer existing, had over the other extinr., Native regiments. Mr. BAILLIE said it was true, as stated by the bon. member in hi, que,tion relating to the efficiency of the regiments referred to, the selection rested with the Governot-General f India. ENDOWED SCHOOLS (IRELAND) Mr. BAGWELL asked the Chief Sec: etary for Ire land if her M,je , ty's Government in ended to legislate this Elt•- , ion upon the repot of the Eedowed Scisouls lan I) Commission, with a vie.v to the imerovement of endowed schools in Ireland, for the better manage ment of their endowments, and for the better regulating, managing, and governing of such eclaool, and for tee general promotion, in connection with them, of acade mical education in Ireland. Lord NAAS said it was not the intention of her Ma jesty's Government to propose any treasure of the kind teia session. THE CAGLIARI. Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, - , bether the Government had settled the amount that ought to ba claimed as c.irnimasAtion from the Neapolitan Government for the engineers of the Cagliari, tVal and Park ; and, if so, whether the demand had ben actus.!ly tnaie, or whether it had been left to arbitration under the arrangements suggested at the rneetieg of the C,)iigress of Paris ? Mr. CRA.WFORD put a question to the Under- Secretary for Foreign Affairs, of which he had given notice, relative to V . v.; statera.mt in the morning paper; of wt at had passed in the Turin Chambere, relative to the negotiations between this country and Sardinil, which was different to the statement made by tbo boo. gentleman to that house on a former occasion. - Mr. S. FITZGERALD, in reply to the la t qweitims, appealed to the house whether anything was more un usua!—(cheers)—u3ore ioenvenient, or more unfair, than that questions of this kind should be put with , ut previous n ,, tie3 ? (Cheers.) In reply to the other ques tion, the right kon. gentleman ,aid her Mjesty's G,- vernment had iost-uct,d Mr. Lyons as to the definite earn to be demanded as emnpensatiou from the Neapo litan Governmvnt.

At its re-assembling yesterday morning Mr. Slado, the counsel for the sitting member, intim tted that the gallant gentleman intended to withdraw from the contest, as it was impossible to dispu , e the agency of Mr. Doyle. Major Gavin, however, hoped ttie committee would allow him to deny, upon o his knowledge of the bribery. Major Gavin, the sitting member, stated that previous to the election he gave his agents strict ord. rs t 4 do nothing that was contrary to law. He dechir7d that he would not continue to sit if a single shining hid been illegally expended in the contest. He refused to canvass any one who had previously promised to support Mr. Ball. The evidence of Captain Browne had taken him quite by surprise, until he heard it, lie had no idea that Captain 13, 0 wne was in any way connected with his election. The following was the evidence of " Captain 13! o Arne :" Mr. J. Browne, jun., examined by Mr. James, Q.C.—I resida at O'Brien's Bridge, county Clare. I was an officer in the 15th Foot, and afterwards served in the Clare Militia. My father has property in the counties of Limerick and Clare. There are 10 of his tenants freeholders of the city of Limerick. I learned on one occasion from my wife that Mr. Daniel Doyle had called. He left word with Mrs. Browne fur me to be sure that I went into Lime rick. I wrote back that I would not go into Litnr:ck for any attorney without knowing what he wanted. In consequence of a letter I received I wort into Mr. Doyle : as I am a poor man— (laughter)—he said he would pay my expenses, and give me 107., if I would use my influence with my lather's ten.ints. Mr. James—Did you accept that offer ? Wituess—Of cour,e I did. (Laughter.) I went amongst the tenants the next day to rob Father Hennessy', , nest. (Laughter.) They bad all tan promised Mr. Hennessy to vote for Mr. Ball, and it was !o get them from him I was to be paid the 10'. Doyle told me at the time he promised me the 101. that they had all promised to vote for Mr. 8011. I robbedFailLat Hennesay's nest of eight eut of the ten freeholde , s. lam heir to my father. I told the voters I was to get 101. if they voted for Major Gavin. Doyle told me he would pay the expenses of the voters and give them something fur themselves. I told them that to induce them to vote for me. They said they would go with the as the old gentleman, my father, did not want them to vote in any particular way, and as I was to make 10/. by their voting for Major Gavin. After the election I applied verbally and by letter to Mr. Doyle for my money, which I ulti mately obtained, with 11. for expenses.
