. 1 MONEY MARKET AND QOM MER.CTAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The markets for foreign and col.onial prodtv3e during the past few days have exhibited rather more activity, and several of the leading stal les have been dealt in at improved rates. Tea, how ever, has been dull, most of the dealers anxiously awaiting advices by the Overland Mail. Sugar has been in good demand, and the better descriptions of British West India, fit for home use, have realised improved values. For coffee there has been a steady de mand, but rice, rum, and cocoa have been exceed- Ingly quiet. The public sales of wool continue to Progress very satisfactorily, the advance of ld. per 11 \ realised at the commencement of the series being fully suppor ted for most qualities. The public sales of indigo, which commenced on the 13th inst., c°ll cinded yesterday ; the quantity sold was about 6 ,600 chests, of which 1,000 were for home use, and the remainder take f, , r export. The biddings through out were animated, and an advance of about 4d. to ed . • per lb. was rea li se d compare d w ith th ose a t th e Clore of the previous sales. For saltpetre there was I.,..very limited inquiry, and tallow has been dull. e .y.C. is now quoted 48s. t o 48s. 3d. for spot, and abo for the last three month' delivery. The Liverpool Cott - n Market yesterday closed and previous values were fully maintained. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, 1,000 of w ch were taken for speculation, and 500 by the exporters. In Railway Shares only a limited busi 4esa was transacted, but quotations were rather firmer. There is no alteration to report either in mone tary affairs or in the movements of bulFon. With regard to the former, we can merely repeat that for tile moment the inquiry continues too limited to disturb the quotations lately established. These are as low as could be desired, and all who are "Med in mercantile enterprise, and possessing good credit, can obtain unusual facilities for the ac tive prosecution of business. The efflux of specie has temporarily ceased, and ' n eincreised firmness of the e xc h anges h as IA to t impression that it will not be immediately re in/11,d. The half-yearly meeting of the National Discount Fclnpany took place to-day ; Mr. Russell, M.P., ni the chair. The dividend proposed was at the l 'a'o of 5 per cent.. per annum. There was a dis lO%able balance of 19,691/. 17s. ld. for the half 3;elt'S profit s , ou t o f w hi c h this dividend wo u ld b e : 4 , lcen ) and the b a lance carried to the reserve fund, 'jell would then amount to 14,537/. 101. The report was adopted unanimously. A discussion has been aroused in reference to the r ent decision of the Stock Exchange Committee to allow bargains in the Uribarren Bends of Petu t 4 . ° „ 133 officially quo t e d. Th ose who object state that these securities represent a portion of the in ternal debt of the Republic, and as such ought not t" 0 be Placed on the same footing as those negociated l i n t England. Th ere appears t o be same groun d f or thi s r emonstrance, but the committee are not likely ;gain to rescind their resolution. The English Funds have been firmer to-day, and leveral transactions have been recorded at an ad- I L allee of per cent. A favourable influence has ep Produced by the news from tte East, but th ere is evidently an upward tendency in conse eillenoe of purchases for investment, and similar °,Perations on speculative account. Notwithstand tnb this, however, the market cannot be called t e.l7 '') 8 8 the transactions are still confined within '°lerate limits. Consols have been 952 ; for 41 . "VI and 951 96 for account.

Tne LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool• sack at lien o'clock. Petitions in favour of the legalisation of the marriage with a deceased wife 'a sister wore presented by Lord E`rury, Viscount Torrington, Lord Gage, and Lord WroVsley. THIRD READINGS, On the mn . ion of Lord REDESDALE, the Great Sauthern of India R tilway Company, the Lancashire, York:hire, and East Lancashire Railway CompaT y ; Limerick and Caßtle Connell Railway, and South Wales Railway (New Railway) bills were read a third time and passed. ATLANTIC TELEGRAPFI COMPANY'S BILL. On the motion that this bill be read a third time, The Earl e f DERBY moved the insertion of a clause wlfch would place the American on t h e „ me footing as the English company. A shot t couversati , m ensued between Lord REDES- D.tLE and L , rd ST3NLEY of ALDERLEY, at the termina tion of which the third reading was postponed until Monday next. MARRIAGE LAW AMMENDMENT BILL. Lord GAGE iail ho had tno t ut expec'edly been called upon to propose se-ond reading of this bill, and no th'irg -hurt of the importance of the question involved in the bill cou'd lave inducei him to have undertaken the t slc, The measure to which he n as'eed their lord s. dpi to give a second reading wto to rerne•iy a grievance of wbic't a large portion d the popula'ion of the country cotn,lained, and they naturally fslt that redress would be given, provided their lordships se.w no sound reason againstcking so. If they rejected the bill then those who wire in favour of it woull come to the conclusion that there did exist some revonsedly the relief now sought for shou'd not be given. He had hear.l it said that there. xis' cd both spiritual and religious reasons why such a bill shoul.l not pass, but whenever the objectors to the measure had been a:ltsd to pis t out tbe Seriptural objections they had invariably failed to do so. A creat deal of importance hal been attributed to a particular chap:er in the Book of Le"iticn", but he contended that nothing in the verse forbade 3. ma - to marry his deceas d wife's sic, r—(hear) —on the contrary, he (Lord Gag,) vas of opinion that the verso gave a clear permisssion to con tract such a marriage; and he was further of opinion the canons of the Church and not the law of God forbade the marriage. Toe noble lord had al luded to the social view of the (Fleet:mit, and said he believed that the wife's sister would form a much better etPrimother to the. wife's children than a total stranger. He also alluded to the increasing msj ;titles by which the bill bad passed the [louse of Commons, and declared that there Was a strong feeling in favour of the bill throughout the country. Lord REDESDALE moved that the bill be read a second time this day three months. [LEFT SPEAKLNG.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This Day.) rae SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'e lock. PR,IVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the f )Ilowing bills were considered and agreed to :—Middlesborough Improve men., Plymouth Great Western DJcke Tees Conser vancy, and Worcester and Hereford ItadNay. Toe foil° wing bills were read a third time and pasesd : —Davidson's Estale, and G . asgow CORRUPT PRACTICES PREVENTION Acr CONTINUANCE BILL. Tne aej turned debate on the clause proposed by Mr. VA!'.7SITTART was rerewed. Toe clause was "That it 811 , 1 1 1 not he lawful f )r the collector of rates and taxes o f a-,y borough, county, or city, or his partner, or agent, to act a 3 agent, clerk, or canvasser for, or to be earl loyed on behalf of, any candidate for such borough, county, or city, and any such person who shali offend shall for his said offence be liable to forfeit the sum of 501. to any person who shall sue for the same, together with full costs of suit." Mr. BASS spoke in opposition, and to the bill generally. Mr. P. O'BRIEN thought that nothing could bo more otjectionahle than the practice of a tax collector, with his rate book in his hard, walkinv into a voter's hou , e to solicit his vote in aid of aoy particular candi date. Ile hoped the lion. member for Windsor (Mr. Vansittari) would press his motion. Mr. WALPOLE thought this clauso would raise ques tion upon question as to rrsons Tialified to act as agents,. 11, should be happy to considsr the question as applicable to general law, but he thought the principle ought not to he affirriv.d in the present M. Sir F. SMITH thought the clatue would be a trap for the honest man, and that it would serve no other pur- Pc"e. Mr. ROEBUCK rail the Home Secretary seemed to think that this was not a proper time f r the revision of the el:cteral law. Ile (11r. Roebuck) admitted that, and loped the Home Secretary would apply that remark tti is own bill. Mr. 111 r, IV ItE R E Et R sail thatcollectors E Nopposed thclause. Gof rates and taxes bad a great influence in reference to the registration of voters ; and in B,lfest that influnce had been exercised in a most extraordinary degree. In any district the collect !rs of taxes might abstain from calling upon voters fur their taxes until sfter the time when they should be paid to enable them to vote, and thus persons really solvent, and wiling to pay their rates when asked for them, fund theinselvee disfranchised when the revisiog barrister came round. Mr. JOHN LOCKE said the clause singled out one particular class of persons, but tax collectors were not the only persons who bad an undue influence over electors. Let them take, for example, the steward of e. nobleman who had a large estate, and who could knock off 10 or 15 per cent. if it would in any way suit his employer's purpose. The tax cjllector was a public servant, and any candidate might avail himself of his services. The tax collector could not remit tax- s, and it was not to his interest to remit them, but the steward of an estate could remit any amount his employer might cheese to allow. The clause aimed at one parthoular class of individuals, while they knew that there were hundreds of olbrr. who were equally open to obj ctMn. He objected 0 legislation of this piece meal kind being introduced into the bill, which he con sidered should be merely a continuance bill. Mr. M'CANN .objected to the tax gatherers being agents. They bad great influence over the register of votes, and had not failed to exorcise it very extensively in Ireland. He kne al many persons who bad been dis franchised by the tricks and ch:cantries cf these men. Mr. BAINES thought extraneous matter should not be introduced, although be admitted be was favourable to the principle of the clause. This was a well-defined and undenteod species of influence upon which eventu ally they might legislate, but he thought this should be a continuance bill. If the ° l ame were passed at all, be thought it should be amended, so as to include all instead "ot " c llectors " within" any any borough, Zee. le.r ugh, & s ., Mr. B. C.IRTER o prosed t'.e clause, on the ground that the bill should be a mere continuance bill. Mr. Erl' , lG considered that the chiles centained a very sourel principls, and he should vote for it, subject to the amendment of the right hoc. gen leinan the mem ber for Le, (1,4 (Mr. B sine ,)• Mr. II UGG ESSON did net like hornoa - Tathio dotes of reform, and opposed the clause. Mr. CIINUFURD thought it unreasonable that a f this kind should have been introduced at this late period cf the session, and that they were wastirg time in discussing it. Ile shoal' vote against the clause, because be desired that the bill should be merely a continuance bill. He wished they would take an example from Scot land, where there was no such absurd regulation that a rune should pay his taxes before he was cllz ified to vote (Rear, hear, and laughter.) He objected to the clause ter another reason, that they ought nit in such a case to pick out one Owe of sooiety snore than anuther. If they ,xeluded tax cullectere, they should exclude solicitors and mainhers of t h e legal profession from being agents, for he held that they were a much more dangerous class in this respect than tax collectors. He said th:t in his capacity of a member el the legal profession bimeAf. "a76.NSITART said he sheen be hem to avail hinanif of the =coin:cots which had been suggested, The house then divided on the amended clause, and the numbers were— For the clause Against it Majority —l3 The clause was negatived. Mr. D. NICOLL hoped that after the narrow escape of defeat which the Government had had they would de clare now that this was simply a continuance bill. He had stood three sharply contested elections, one of which he lost by only one vote, and he knew therefor.: the temptations to which pour voters were exposed. He moved the f elbowing clause : " Every candidate at any election for any county, city, or borough, shall be required to make and sign the fol lowing statutory declaration, and present, or cause to be presented, a copy of such declaration to the Election Auditor on or before the day appointed for the audit of belle, charges, or claims. "I, (A. B.) a candidate at the election of ( ) to represent the ( in Parliament, do hereby solemnly an I sincerely declare that I have not knowingly made, authorised, or sanc tioned, and that I will not knowingly make, authorise, or sanction any payment, or make any gift of money, or other valuable consideration, directly or indirectly, by way of private gratuity to any solicitor, agent, or canvasser acting f r me on account cf the said elec tion, otherwise than is described by the bills, charge; and claims rendered to the election auditor, save as excepted and allowed by the Corrupt Practices Preven tion Ac', 1854." Mr. WALPOLE objected to the clause. It might he inserted in a permanent bill which could not bedelayeil beyond nux! . . 'session. The present was nothing more than a continuance bill. Mr. W. WILLIAMS did not think the clause would carry out the object it proposed to have in view. Mr. P. O'BRIEN thought that all legislation in re. fere.nce to c irrupt practices at elections was a delusion. Mr. CRAINEIRD opposed the clause. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Government to with draw the bill. The in , j rity of the House was against it. (near, hear, and no, no.) Mr. WALPOLE said if the maj ni's of the House were against the bill he would witheraw it and intro duee a continuance bill to-morrow. (Hear, hear, and no, no.) After some remarks from Mr. ROEBUCK, The House divided. The numbers were— For the clause Against it Majority Tim clause was therefere negatived. Mr. GREER moved the addition cf a clause for in creasing the number of polling places, and for altering the polling districts in Ireland. Lo-d NAAS opposed the clause. Ia the first place it was out of place, it was out of order on the considera tion of this Intl ; and, secondly, the law at present per mitted the extension of poling places in Irl end. Mr. WHIM supported the clause to protract the debate, and with a desire to prevent the bill being carried. He informed fur Maje ty's Government there were a certain curnb.r of members who intended to oppose the bill en every point other than as a continuance bill. The bill was wrongly named. It should be called the Corrupt Practices Protection Bill. (Laughter.) Mr. P. O'BRIEN opposed the clause. Mr. BRADY supported the cl sues. Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD opposed the clause. Mr. COX opposed the bill. He looked upon it as a bill to legaise bribery, and increase the expenses of candidates at elections. He had no objectian to the bill as a continuance bill, but he had great of jsction to it as a permanent bill. Alter smite further discussion, The boll - e divided. The nurabera were— For the clause Agait,st it ,rity The clause was therefore negatived. Mr. GRIFFITEIS moved the followi-g clause : "The admission and payment, on behalf of any caedi d ste at an election, of any claim or demand in respect to such election, by the Wetion auditor, in accordance with the previsions f the 17th and 18. h Viet., chap 102, shall be a sufficient protecti so to such candidate against any action or suit at law in respect to the legality of any such payment ; and it shall be the duty of the election auditor to r,fuse to pay any claim or &mat:don behalf f such candidate which is not in accordance with the pro visions of the above-mentioned act of the 17sh and 18 h Vie., c. 102." Toe moti .n was negatived without a division. Mr. STAPLETON moved to insert in clause 1, line 17, after " voter," " within such voter's county or borough, and seven miles nom the boundary thereof." The house divided. The numbers were— For the amendment Against it Mej irity The amendment was consequently lost. On the motion that the clause as amended stand part of the bill, Mr. ROEBUCK moved its omission from the bill. The moment they rendered the expenses of conveying voters to the poll legal, it became imperative, and aided the r ich moo against the poor man. He regretted the proposition f r payng xpenees emanated from his side of the house, for it would be found to be productive of rno:e bribery and corruption than ever In f re i xlstt d. . 52 • 83 ▪ --31 .. 26 .. 112 . • ---- 86 .. 75 .. 78 -3 Mr. BRADY supported the amendment, Mr. V.

Tub bill invulv , d two prineiplei— one was that voters had no intereFt in going to the poll themselves ; and the othsr, that no man but a rich man, who could squander 3,0001. or 4,0001. in an election, could stand for coug•tit:s. Mr. WAIJOLE contended he was PistiGod in brirg ing in this bill, and perecyering with it, and referred to the majorities on divisions in euppert rf that assertion. lie intended to bring in a permanent bill next session to got rid of bribery and lrea , ing at elections. He should persi-r:with ibis bill. These expenses had always been paid by candidat-e, and the returns showed it was a consider able itemin contested tlections for ciuritics and boroughs. Without conveyances were provided many voters would not talce the trouble to go to the poll. It was, there fore, better to legalise it than leave it in uncertainty as at present. General THOMPSON wished to know what security the candidate had under this biil if a voter went to the poll in hie carriage, and voted for another candidate. hie contendtd the payment of V-e expenses of c )nvey once a voters to the poll was as clear and simple bribery as any other that could be invented. After some recearks from Mr. S. WARREN, Mr. T. BUNCOMBE characterised this as a bill to serve the purposes of the Conservatives in the election to take place in the spring of next year. Candidates then would he able to bribe to any extent, and the man with the longest purse would he the successful candidate. Toe hon. member was proceeding to slow the effect of the bill in conntction with the Conservative or Freehold Land Society, when by the forms of the home the debate was adjourned to the evening sitting. Tne ll?puty Usher of the Black Rec . . appeared at the bar of the house, and summoned the heu e to the House of Peers, to hear the royal assent given to several bills, (for which see Lercis' report). The other criers were then disposed of, and the house suspended is sittin4e. The Hou.;c resumed at 6 o'clock, and. was (LEFT BITTING.) LONDON GAZETTE.--(This Evening.)
