MONEY MARKET AND CITY .NEWS. 4....____ CITY, Two o'CLocir. The Money Market continues in an active state, but the commercial community are enabled to obtain the accommodation they require P.,t the current rates, although the recent failures have rendered the discount houses more reserved. It is probable, however, that a quieter tone will prevail after the engagements due to-day shall have been liquidated, and increased relief may bre looked for when the dividends are paid at the Bank of England. The leather trade crmtinues in a very depressed state, owing to the announcement of further failures and the expectation of additional casualties in the country. So sudden a collapse has seldom been wittvessed in any particular department of business, but in this instance it appears that affairs have long been in a very unhealthy state, and the _consequence has been that the embarrassments of one or two leading firms have led to the disorganisation of the entire trade. The liabilities of the houses which have already suspended probably approach two millions sterling, and it is feared that the assets in most cases will fall short of the estimates originally formed. The follo-Wing is a list of the canines up to the present time :—Messrs. Stratfi , and Mortimer ~ Messrs. J. F Messrs. Smith, and Pat' Mundy; Mr.. Hael- Mortimer - ,on, of Godal- -,'e Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday the transactions were less extensive, and prices were steady. The sales were about 8,000 bales.

A Florentine abbe, now in Paris, has made the most wonderful discovery in connection with photography and electricity that has ever been heard of. He is able, in sending a telegraphic message, to produce, at the opposite end of the wire, the fac-simile of the writing that the mes sage has been sent in. So perfect and correct is it that he has, to prove the undoubted fact, transmitted a portrait. Proposals have been made to him to come over to England ; and, should it be found as valuable a discovery as supposed, Government is ready to make liberal offers for the secret. Its chief use would be in discovering the enemies of the law. - SHARE 31zIRKE71-(iVII DAY.) - • ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Rs ilways Paid, Closing I Business Price. Done.

Several petitions were presented against the Census Bill, so far as related to the profession of religious doctrines; against the Highways Bill ; against the Sunday Trading Bill ; against the alleged aggression of the Lords in respect to the Duty on P a p er Bill, and praying the house to vin dicate its privileges. THE REPEAL OF THE PAPER DUTY. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE gave notice that to-morrow, when the Prime Minister brought forward the resolutions relat ing to the Paper Duty Bill, he would move, as an addition to such resolutions, that an humble address be presented to her most gracious Majesty humbly praying that she will not prorogue Parliament until a bill for the repeal of the excise duty on paper has been submitted to her for her assent. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The hon. member also inquired of the Home Secretary whether it was intended by the Prime Minister to move the resolutions seriatim, or whether he would submit the three resolutions to the house together for the consideration of hon. mmbers. Sir G. LEWIS said that he believed the practice was to propose resolutions of this character seriatim, and he sup posed his noble colleague would adopt that course. CHURCH RATES LAW AMENDMENT. On the order of the day for the second reading of this bill, Mr. HUBBARD explained at some length the provi sions of the measure, which was not calculated to interfere with the conscientious convictions of Dissenters, though it does not go the same length that some hon. members advo cated, or the views entertained by those who were desirous of a severance between Church and State. The bill affixed no stigma on Dissenters, but he considered that some pro visions were necessary in order to render the object of the act more clear. He was convinced that the bill would work satisfactorily, but at this advanced stage of the ses sion it could not be expected to pass through both houses. Under these circumstances he would move that the order of the day for the second reading should be discharged, but he pledged himself that if Government, or some influential member of the house did not like the subject he would in troduce a bill on the question next session. (Hear, hear.) Mr. D. GRIFFITH objected to postponing legislating on this subject. Ultimately the motion was agreed to, and the order o he day for the second reading of the bill was discharged. HIGH WAYS BILL. Sir G. LE WIS moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. HODKINSON mo ve d as an amendment that the bill be read a second time that day three months. He drew attention to the unpopularity of the measure, as indicated by the number of petitions presented against it since its introduction. One of the reasons, no doubt, why the Government proposed this bill was ' that several roads in th e coun t r y were i n :b a d repa i r ; but he did not consider that a large board would be better calculated to carry out the process of road-making than sur veyors, who were chosen every year by the rate-payers. They were generally the parties most using the roads, and most interested in keeping them in repair ; while they were usually selected from the longest rate-payers. By the plan proposed in this bill for the present system, to establish paid surveyors, paid treasurers, and paid clerks, all of which situations were to be held by different individuals these boards would require a place for meeting like the Metropolitan Board, and then they would place themselves in communication with the Secre tary of State. In all probability they would ultimately have a Highway Board sitting in London, and analogous to the Poor Law Board, and the result would be to increase the expenditure of rate-payers. In adverting again to the unpopularity of the bill, he said that no less than 360 peti tions had been presented against the bill, which were signed by 26,000 rate-payers, which, however, did not represent the aggregate of those opposed to the bill, because in many cases the petitions were merely signed by the chairman of different boards through out the country. He also strongly objected to the principle of the bill, as it was calculated to affect the impartiality of magistrates, who would be one day prosecu tors, and the next judges trying offenders whom they had prosecuted. The hon. member referred to South Wales, where the principle of this bill was in operation, and which gave considerable dissatisfaction. The tolls on turnpike roads amounted to more than the conveyance by railways, and in some instances as much as £6O a mile had been ex pended in keeping the roads in repair ; and in 1856 no less than £2,149,733 had been laid out on these roads through out the country. Mr. KER SEYMER supported the bill, and referred to an opinimP-expressed by the late Sir Robert Peel in 1846, who proposed to introduce a measure on the subject con taining the same principle as this bill relative to district boards and paid surveyors. That sagacious statesman said there were no less than 16,000 different local authorities connected with the management of highways, which, he contended, was injurious to the interests of the agricultural classes, with whom good roads was a matter of the greatest importance. (LEFT SITTING.) POLICE INTELLIGEN CE-( THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT AT BEN CAUNT'S.—Elizabeth Young was charged with the following assault at " Ben Caunt's," the Coach and Horses, St. Mar'in's Lane. Mr. Benjamin Caunt, jun., said that on the previous evening the prisoner came into his father's house, and hay ing been served with some porter, used very disgraceful language towards the barmaid, and on the potman attempt ing to put her out, she struck him with a pint pot a severe blow on the head, causing a large swelling. He (Mr. Caunt) went to the pot man's assistance, when the prisoner gave him several kicks, and only having tho two of ono arm (the witness's arm was in a sling, he having met with some-injury), ha was in danger from her violence. She hadbeen drinking before coming to the house. Charles Pearman, the potman, proved receiving a blow on the head with a pint pot. The prisoner said she had only had five pints of beer that afternoon, and did not think that would make her drunk. Fined 10s., or seven days. ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—Thomas Miller, a tall stout man, was charged with assaulting a young female, named Catherine Newman, by striking her on the eye a very severe blow, rendering her insensible for some minutes, and causing her to seek medical assistance at the Middlesex Hospital, her eye being covered with a bandage. Mr. Beadon, having animadverted on the defendant's conduct, fined bim 305., or a mouth in default. THIS DA Y'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was scantily supplied with English wheat. Owing to the more favourable accounts at hand in reference to the crops, and the continuous influx of foreign wheat and flour, the trade ruled heavy, at Monday's decline in the quotations. Nearly 25,000 quarters of foreign wheat having reached us, that description of produce changed hands slowly, and the currency was almost nominal. In floating cargoes very little was doing, at late rates. There was a moderate demand for barley, at full prices. The transactions in malt were somewhat restricted, on former terms. We have to report a dull sale for oats, and inferior parcels were again rather cheaper. Both beans and peas changed hands slowly, at late quota tions. Flour was dull, and country marks were the turn lower. ARRIVALS THIS wnErc. Whe it. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour.

F LEET -STREET.—Yes- terday D R INKING FOUNTAIN IN a free public drinking fountain, erected at the sole expense of Sir James Duke, Bart., M.P. , A lderman of the Ward of Farringdon-Without, was put up at St. Dunstan's Church, Fleet •street. The fountain is highly ornamental, somewhat after the style of that erected by Mr. Gurney, M.P., at St. Sepulchre's Church, Snow -hill. It has the inscription, " The Gift of Sir James Duke, Bart., M.P., and Alderman of this Ward," in a semi -circular scroll, on either of which is placed medallions, on which is written, " Elected Lord Mayor, 1848," and ''Elected Member for London, 1849." The fountain will be publicly inaugu rated in the course of a few days. Byron was wrong when he said " Revenge is sweet, especially to woman." On the contrary, to a woman of an exalted mind, the forgiveness of injuries is productive of more pleasure and satisfaction than -any amount of ven geance obtained. Her Most Gracioui Majesty i s a li v i ng proof of this, for when she succeeded to the Crown, Lord Melbourne advised the removal of certain persons from the Royal presence who had expressed themselves rather freely as to her impetuosity of temper under the roof of her Royal mother. She replied nobly, " The Queen of England does not remember the injuries of the Princess Victozia."-- Court .News FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST E FOREIGN-OFFICE, JUNE IS.

Great prepara tions had been made for them by the municipal authorities, and the favouring heavens lent their smiles to make the display everything that could be asked. The bay of New York, the beauty of which in the eyes of New Yorkers, at least, is justly celebrated, was alive with yachts and steamers, waiting to receive and accompany the train, and the shipping at the docks was gaily dressed and sparkled with all the hues of the rainbow. The Ambassadors were to arrive from Philadelphia by way of Amboy, which would bring them up the bay at the hour when it was brightest and most cheerful. As their steamer passed up it was duly saluted from the various forts in the harbour, and upon arrival was received with the proper amount of gunpowder. Long before the hour every avail abl window on the line of procession was occupied. The streets below were filled with an immense throng, reminding me of the streets of London on the day of the funeral of the Duke of Wellington, and wherever a little open space permitted trees to grow they bore a full fruit of ragged boys. As the procession started a rising cloud fortunately ob scured the sun, which was before then blazing down with a summer heat, so that both ambassadors and people, seers and seen, could perform their respec tive functions without inconvenience. Of the de tails of the procession it is sufficient to say that it consisted only of the ambassadors and their train, the city Government, and the local militia, about 7,000 strong. The chiefs of the embassy manifested a stolid indifference to the whole display, and to the crowd gathered to see it. As one of the latter, I was unable to see that either of them raised their eyes, or in any way showed the slightest knowledge that there was a human being near them. A guard of honour upon each side, and a policeman at each door of the carriage, kept the crowd at a distance; but there was no sign of a consciousness that there was any crowd there. The subs of the embassy were by no means so indifferent. They waved their handkerchiefs and fans, and kissed their hands to the ladies, who crowded every window. Many of them also were armed with opera-glasses, with which they scanned the balconies and windows with all the air of an habitue of the Opera. Most of them wore French kid gloves ; with that exception, there was nothing Occidental in their toilets. Few had hats ; most of them wore their dark hair braided upon the tops of,their heads ; two or three only had their crowns entirely shaven. Their dresses were generally of sombre colours, little ornamented, and suited for travelling. Most of them smoked, and, with the exception of the chefs, they were chatting together, calling each other's attention to this, that, and the other thing on the line of their march, and indulged in frequent peals of merry laughter at what they saw. From the windows and balconies they looked like old men, and from their high cheek bones, dark braided hair, and tawny hue might have been mistaken for American Indians. A nearer inspection, however, entirely disabused one of such an idea. They are many of them young, their features are straighter than those of the American Indian, and in their scrupulous personal cleanliness they bear no resemblance to that filthy specimen of humanity. After they were deposited at their sumptuous apartments in the Metropolitan Hotel they were left to themselves for a day. On Monday they were received by the Mayor at the City-hall. This was the last of their tortures, and now it is understood that they are to be permitted to enjoy themselves quietly and like reasonable beings. I meet them about in the various shops, where their curiosity or acquisitiveness takes them, and I am struck with the tho rougly business-like manner in which they canvass the goods and beat down the shopkeepers. An education in Paris could not have made them greater adepts at the business. Photographic works seem to have a greater interest for them than anything else. They are not only having themselves constantly " taken," but they are also examining and buying stereoscopic views and every sort of photographic works. They go about quietly, under charge of policemen, gathering little crowds about them wherever they stop, but with quite as little trouble to themselves and quite as unmolested as Lord Elgin's suite were allowed to go about Jeddo. They are getting anxious for the Niagara to be ready. The workmen are driving on the work upon the vessel as fast as possible, and it is understood that as soon as she is ready they will leave. LORD PALMERSTON'S RESOLUTIOA. The following arc the terms of the resolution as laid on the table of the House of Commons last night :- 1. That the right of grantir , aids and supplies to the Crown is in the Commonsc'alone, as an essen tial part of their constitution, and the limitation of all such grans, as to th e ma tt er , manne r, measure, and time, is only in them. 2. That, although the Lords have exercised the power of rejecti ng bill s o f severa l descriptions re lating to taxation, by negativing the wh ole, y e t the exercise of th a t power by them . has not been frequent, an d i s j ust l y regar ded by . this house with peculiar jealousy, as affecting the right of the Com mons to grant the supplies, and to provide the ways and means for the service of the year. 3. That to guard for the future against an undue exercise of that power by the Lords, and to secure to the Commons their rightful control over taxa tion and supply, i this house has n its own h an d s the power so to i m p ose and remi t taxes and to frame bills of supply, that the right of the Com mons as to the matter, manner, measure, a n d ti me may be maintained in` iolate. SOCIAL DISABILITIES OF COLOUR. The Rev. Edwin Chapman presents his compli ments to the editor of The k'un, and transmits to him, with a request for its publication, a correspon dence whL.ll has taken place between Mr. Commis sioner Hill, Recorder of Birmingham, and Mr. Chapman, on the one part, and Sir Samuel Cunard on the other : Bristol, June 11. Sir Samuel Cunard, Sir,—Under ordinary circumstances, as strangers to you, it would be our duty to apologise for intruding upon your time and attention ; but in a matter which intimately concerns the repu tation of your excellent line of packets to tlie United States, and, indeed, the honour of our coun try, we fee: that the statement which we have to lay before you will show you that we have good reason for respectfully calling on you to prevent a repetition of misconduct in your agent which no Englishman can regard without indignation. We are sure that it cannot be your will that your pas sengers, because they happen to be persons of colour, should meet with partial and unjust treatment on hoard your vessels. Great Britain recognises no distinction of rights because of colour, and the cap tains of her mail packets, you will be the first to agree, must not be permitted to cringe to the un hallowed prejudices of foreigners, and thus to make them the scenes of social oppression. We gratefully remember your promise in 1847,- that no more offences such as that committed against Mr. F. Douglass should take place on board of our steamers. That this promise has been broken by your agent in the case which we now proceed to lay before you will cause you deep concern, both because you must have considered it as binding upon all in your service, and because of the morti fication Which has been inflicted on persons whose position, conduct, and character make the indig nities to which they have been subjected bitterly felt both by them and. their families and friends. That so much time has elapsed since the voyage was made before sending this application to you arises from the fact of the documents necessary for establishing• the case having been only lately placed in our•hands, owing to their not being forthcoming when reclaimed from a gentle man to whom they were entrusted, in the hope that he would immediately perform the task which has devolved upon us. We enclose extracts from a letter addressed to the gentleman above referred to, detailing the case of Mrs. Putnam and her party, and also a copy of a letter from your agents at Boston. United States, which will put you in possession of all the facts ; and we courteously but urgently beg to bespeak your attention to them, and to ask for such action thereupon as the case clearly and imperatively demands. It only remains to say that some weeks since Miss Redmond, sister to Mrs. Putnam, a highly in telligent and most estimable person, now studying at the college for ladies in Bedford-square, London, was present at an anti-slavery gathering at the house of one of the subscribers to this letter, and there laid the case before the persons assembled, who feeling themselves implicated in the unworthy and most inhospitable treatment which American passengers had experienced in one of her Majesty's mail packets, receiving the subsidy of the nation, and sailing under official colours, requested us to take such measures as should be necessary for pro venting a recurrence of such disgraceful injustice. In speaking plainly, we feel, Sir Samuel, that we are offering our best tribute to the candour and generous feeling by which we believe you to be actuated. Waiting the favour of your reply, We remain, sir, your faithful servants, M. D. HILL. EDWIN CHAPMAN. Address—Rev. E. Chapman Durdham Down, Bristol. This correspondence when completed it is our in tention, we hardly need say, to publish in the newspapers. (Extracts from Mrs. Putnam's leiter.) London, Nov. 29. 1859. To —, Esq. Sir, We purchased tickets as first-class pas sengers on board the steamer Europa, Captain Leich, our party consisting of four—C. E. Putnam, Sarah L. Smith, Henry G. Cassey, and my son Edmund T. Putnam. A few days before the steamer sailed I received the enclosed letter from Mr. Bates, the agent of the Cunard Company. Upon its reception I called upon the gentleman, asking him why we were denied privileges which are granted to every one until they prove themselves unworthy of them. He said American ladies and gentlemen would object to sit down by the side of coloured persons. I told him we were obliged to sail in the steamer, and I thought there would not be the least trouble, as we were able now to travel in the Nor thern States of America without any, and were treated well at some of the best hotels, and I ex pected on board an English steamer I should re ceive good treatment, as persons living under her government were not judged by the colour of their skin but their conduct only ; and I hoped we should be allowed our seats at the table. On the 2d November we started, and when we had been on board about two hours one of the servants told us he wished to speak with us if we would follow him. We did so, and were shown into a very small room, and told by him that the captain wished us to take our meals there by ourselves. We told him that we should be rather uncomfortable, as the room was in the ex treme stern part of the boat, and one of our party WAS an invalid, and had left home on that account. He said he had received his instructions from the captain, and there was no alternative. . . . During the whole voyage we were not allowed a seat at the table. . . . And during the last few days of our voyage we were obliged to sit in the ladies' cabin by ourselves, and servants bring us food as if we were criminals, when we had conducted ourselves with the strictest propriety. The captain commit ted a great wrong in submitting to the dictation of an American agent.—Yours, &c. (Signed) C. E. PUTNAM. (Copy enclosure.) B. and N. A. Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, Office, 99, State-street, Bos ton, Oct. 27, 1859. For your information we desire to inform you that a separate table will be provided for yourself and party on board Europa, hence to Liverpool, where everything will be furnished you that first cabin passengers are entitled to ; the person who applied fer your tickets did not state the fact that the party were coloured, otherwise we should have informed you. Should this interfere with your expectations, please apply at this office at once, and we will refund the passage money.—Respectfully, (Signed) E. C. and J. G. BATES. Mrs. C.E. Putnam and party, Salem. Durdham Down, Bristol, June 28, 1860. Sir,—On the 11th inst. I sent to a friend, with a request that he would forward it to you, as I did not then know your address, a packet containing a letter addressed to you, signed by Mr. Commissioner Hill and myself, and certain enclosures which we wished to lay before you. As we have not been favoured with any reply, I have the honour of forwarding to you copies of the above mentioned documents, and earnestly ask your attention to them, and an answer at your early con venience. I am, Sir Samuel, your faithful servant, EDWIN CHAPMAN. Sir Samuel Cunard, Bush-hill, Edmonton. Bush-hill-house, Edmonton, 29th June, 1860. Sir,—l have received your letters of the 11 th and 28th instant. I do not see that any advantage would result from discussing the subject matter of these letters, therefore I must decline entering into any corres pondence on the subject.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, S. CUNABD. The Rev. E. Chapman, Durdham Down, Bristol. 01 . 0 fa w/ a rh i g c e h r a o u w n i d s t t r o a n d e i in Somerset shireSlß FRANCIS DRAKE.—At a farm there i s a re li c i n th e s h ape now used as the weight on a harrow , tion is current.

We fi n d t h at the West 'Riding constabulary, at Bradford, h ave b een settling off old scores with a host of offending tipplers, during the last week, by "clapping" theta in the " stocks." The place of punishment was fully occupied both on Saturday and Monday last.l THE NEW RAILWAY BRIDGE ACROSS THE THAME S FROM HUNGERFORD MARKET.—Considerable progress has been made in the preliminary works for the construction of a railway bridge across the Thames from Hungerford Market on the Middlesex side to Pedlar's-acre, Lambeth ; a large number of piles for the construction of coffer dams have been driven and an immense caisson sunk on the west side of the Suspension Bridge, in which divers are at work clearing the sand and shingle from the solid bed upon which the foundations of the piers are to rest. Yesterday wot kmen were engaged in constructing another caisson on the eastern side for a similar purpose ; these are formed of immense shields of cast iron, firmly fastened together with screws, bolts, and nuts. The wor k s are at present confined to the Lambeth side, a good view of which may be obtained from the Suspension' Bridge. 12 10 stock stock et , ::rE stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 124 stock stock stock stock stock 50 stock stock stock stock .took stock stock stock stock 10 stock stock stock stock stock stock 0 7 77 78 301.31 57 6j 105 I 114 1I 104 95 4 45 85 1 i MIN
