CITY, Two O'CLOCK. During the last few days there has not been much activity in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets. Tea has been very dull, owing to the approach of the public sales. Sugars have only been in limited request, because high rates are demanded by holders ; and in the refined market prices have been fully sustained. For coffee there has been a moderate inquiry without any material change in values. Rice has been dealt in to a fair extent, and prices have shows an advancing tendency. In fruits and spices a seasonable business has been done at late rates. Saltpetre has continued in limited demand, and less buoyancy has been apparent in the Tallow Market, owing to the large arrivals from Russia. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 60s. 6d., and spring delivery, 61s. per cwt. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. At the forthcoming meeting of the Inter Colonial Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, a dividend at the rate of 71 per cent. annum will be proposed. Notice has been given by the Spanish Financial Commission that the auction of the Foreign Re deemable Debt will take place at Madrid on the 29th instant, for which purpose the Government have assigned 833,020 reals. A fair amount of business was recorded in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices exhibited no change of importance. The sales were 10,000 bales. In addition to the Water Nymph with £321,800, the following vessels have left Australia for this country, viz., the Salsette with £55,000, the Sussex with £248,644, and the Anglesea with £230,390. The Money Market remains in a steady position owing to the moderate requirements of the com mercial community. Capitalists, however, are asking full terms for the accommodation they afford, as a further rise seems to be anticipated. The advance in the rate of discount by the Bank of France has operated unfavourably upon the Paris Bourse, and the adverse effect has extended to the Stock Markets here, the funds having slightly declined in consequence. It has not led, however, to any material increase of business, the specula tive dealings, as well as operations for transfer, being limited. Consols are 93, 1 ; for money, and 931 1 for the account. The New Three per Cents. and the Reduced have, receded to 911 4 ; Long Annuities to 161 1. India Stock is firm at 222 224; ditto New Loan is steady at 1031 ; ditto 5i per Cent. Rupee Paper has improved to 1011 ; and Exchequer Bills to 3s. dis. and par. Business in the Foreign Stock Market is Moderately active, but prices tend downwards. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 71 to 711 ; ditto New, 8 71 to 571; Mexican have receded to 211; Peruvian to 941; Portuguese to 45 ; Venezuelan 3 per Cents. to 221; and ditto 11 per Cents. to 111 ; Buenos Ayres Deferred remains at 301; and Russian 3 per Cents. at 621; but Sardinian are firmer at 861 87. Ocean Marine Insurance shares are 14 2 prem. ; Thames and Mersey, 1 prem.; and the Universal, prem. The committee of Mexican Bondholders have received a letter from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico the 15th ult., and another from Messrs. Vuga Bros., of Vera Cruz, dated 20th ult. Th e latter reports that although it had been the intention of the Vera Cruz authorities to resume the payment of the as signments to the British Bondholders and Conven tion Creditors on all cargoes arriving after the 13th of September last, yet their necessities had Compelled them to prolong the suspension till the 31st proximo, of which they had officially in formed the British Consul at the port. The Vera Cruz letter of the 20th ult. does not, however, allude to it. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been limited, and prices have in some instances shown less firmness. Caledonian, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln have declined ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Western, South Western, North Eastern (Berwick), and West Midland, 10s.; and South Eastern, 15s. The Foreign lines continue very quiet. South Austrian and Lombardo :Venetian being firm at 12i1. In the Colonial Market prices were a shade firmer. East Indian rose to 1011; Great Western of Canada to 111 ; and Grand Trunkof Canada, 211. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have remained firm at previous quotations. ..

Scanlan, 15, servant to Mr. George Smith, beershop.keeper, 46, Upper Marylebone-street, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing a silver watch and chain, and knife, the property of her master. _ . From theevidence of the prosecutor, it appeared that about 11 the previous, night his wife informed him that the watch, which he had wound up at 8 o'clock, and seen safe in the dressing room table drawer, was gone.. knowing that no one had been upstairs, and that it could not have been taken out by a regular thief, he sent for a constable, who searched the house, and at length found tllewatch and chain and knife wrapped in paper, stuffed -in the copper hole. The prisoner said she was guilty, and was sentenced to three months' hard labour.

Yesterday being the morrow of St. Martin, the ceremony of nominating the sheriffs for the several counties of Eng land and Wales for the year ensuing took place in the Court of Exchequer after the ordinary business of the Court had concluded. The following is a list of the gentlemen nominated, with the exception . of those for Cornwall and Lancashire, who are nominated by the Prince of Wales : LORD STANLEY AND LORD ELGIN ON VOLUNTEERING. The presentation of prizes to the successful competitors at the great rifle and artillery contest at Hightown, took place last evening, in St. George's Hall, Liverpool. S. R. Graves, the mayor, came upon the dais about a quarter after ten o'clock. He was accom panied by the Right Hon. Lord Stanley, M.P., Lord Elcho, who wore his own neat uniform of grey, with brown leather accoutrements and knickerbockers; Lieutenant Colonel Wilbraham, adjutant-general of the district ; Colonels Turner, Gladstone, Bousfield, and Brown ; Majors Bu chanan, Walter, Tinley, Gregg, and Halkett ; Captains Melly, Falkner, Hornby, &c. After a few words from the MAYOR and Lieut.- Colonel WILBRAHAM, Lord STANLEY, who was received with hearty cheers, said—l should nothave thought it necessary to trouble you but for the fact that I have been called upon by the Mayor to move a resolution ; and as obedience to constituted authorities is equally a civil and military duty, I am prepared to do so and will read the resolution, which is to this effect:— That in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable that a County Association should be formed for the encourage ment of the Volunteer Movement, and th e p romo ti on ' of rifle shooting by annual matches to be held within the county at a place or plaxes to be hereafter decided upon. There are few persons who are less entitled than I am to speak with authority upon this volunteer movement, for my personal share in it has been but small. But I cannot look around this room—indeed not around this platform—without seeing some gen tlemen who have given to its promotion their time, their energy, and their pecuniary means to an ex tent that makes one proud of English perseverance and of English patriotism. (Cheers.) We are all apt to exaggerate the importance of events that are passing immediately before our eyes. The occur rences of the day look larger to us than they will to our successors, or even to ourselves, some 15 or 20 years hence. But making all due allowances for that liability to exaggerate, I believe that when the history of the present generation is written, there are few events in connection with it that will take a more prominent place than will this national armament—this arming of the people that has taken place in the last and present year. It has been, as we all know, a popular and spontaneous act. No Government nor any individual can claim more than a limited share of credit for promoting it. No one probably, in the first instance, dreamed of the extent to which it would spread, and the more numerous the points of view in which you consider it, the more clearly you will see the ad vantage and the benefits which it has conferred upon English society. (Cheers.) Financially, although a Volunteer force can never be a substitute for a regular army, yet it is impossible to doubt * that the extent to which the arming of the people has been carried has to a great degree done away with the necessity which public opinion would otherwise have impcsed upon the Government of the day, of a large augmentation of the regular force. Politically, it is equally impossible to doubt that the Volunteer movement has greatly increased the power and the influence of England in the councils of Europe. It has done that far more than any action on the part of the Government could have done; because t it has shown that in this country, whatever it may be elsewhere, the Government and the people are one in their determination to main tain inviolate the safety, the honour, and the influ ence of the nation. (Cheers.) Socially, I believe that the Volunteer movement has done more than anything else which has taken place in our time to bring together classes which are usually separated by a difference of habits and difference of ideas; and if we are to look upon it in a point of view to which some perhaps will attach less im portance—if we are to look at it as it concerns the individual units of which the Volun teer force is composed—we see many thou sands of young men brought up in the great towns of this country leading a sedentary life, leading a life which is often unhealthy, liv ing many of them without that amount of air and exercise which is indispensable to a sound. con dition of body, growing up therefore unhealthy, and, because unhealthy, discontented and dissatis fied with themselves and with things around them —we see, I say, thousands placed under these cir cumstances to whom this movement has furnished a pursuit which combines, for them, with a sense of public usefulness, all the advantages of health and of strength which they could not have acquired but for that peculiar attraction which military exercises appear to possess for those who have once formed a taste for them. And, lastly, I believe that this arm ing of the people is in itself essentially a movement in favour of the continuance of an European peace. It is so not merely in the sense in which that ex pression is often used—because it has a tendency to deter other nations from attacking us—but it is so likewise because it has a tendency to render us less willing to engage in quarrels with other countries. That may appear at first sight a paradox, but I can explain is a very few words what I mean. I believe that whenever a cry for war spreads through this country—we have known such before and may possibly hear them again—one of the motives which most powerfully influences the public in favour of war is an uncomfortable suspicion that people abroad believe that England is not prepared to enter into a war, and a still more uncomfortable suspicion that in that belief it is possible that the people may right. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) It is in the body corporate, as in the physical frame, weakness and irritability go together. (Laughter.) I - , is with nations as with individuals. Those who are strong and know themselves to be so, can afford to be good humoured and forbearing, and. to pass over petty annoyances and strife, and it is those who are distrustful of their own position, who are distrustful of the opinion formed of them by others, who, in order to vindicate that doubtful position, are always ready to rush into a quarrel at a moment's notice. (Hear, hear.) If you think thus, as I be lieve you do, of the Volunteer movement, let us consider what it is that we can do to keep up and even to increase its efficiency. I think that there was great truth and sense in the warning ad dressed lately by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to his audience at Chester, when he told them that in taking up this movement in so signal and con spicuous a manner before the eyes, as it were, of all Earope, the people of England had involved them selves in a great responsibility, .for that, although the thing might, at first, have been let alone with out any reasonable cause for reproaches, yet still, having been once taken up in so signal and public a manner, it could not be let drop without national discredit and even national disgrace. (Hear, hear.) What, then, can we do to keep up the effi ciency of the force ? There are two things, I pre sume, without which no force, and especially no Volunteer force, can be efficient. One is the collec tive efficiency of the corn, i that compose it, and the other is the individual skill of the men in the use of the weapon which they handle. Those who know more of military matters than I pretend to know tell us that in war nothing, or next to no thing, can be done by the isolated efforts of mere marksmen, if they are not able to combine fqr pur poses of joint attack and mutual defence—(hear, hear)—and, on the other hand, it is quite plain that, however well you may drill and discipline men, lowever steadily you may get them to stand in a ine, however firmly they may resist attack, still they will be of comparatively little value in the field unless every man can so use his weapon as to bring dawn the enemy at whom he aims. Of these two requisites, one—l mean discipline—ought to be pro rded for by those frequent drillings which I be lieve no well-organised corps will neglect ; by occa eienal reviews on a larger scale, and by inspections by experienced and competent officers, such as every Voiunteer corps ought from time to time to undergo. The other requisite that of individual skill, is necessarily more difficult to attain. The best means of securing it, I believe, will be found in bringing into play that principle of competition which is fount to be so greatly , effective in many other branches of human attainment—that principle of competition of which a signal instance has lately been given in this neighbourhood. As to the desira bility of such matches as that at Hightown we should all agree ; but then the question arises, under what conditions, and on what principles, ought each matches to be conducted? I shall not enter into details, but there are one or two prin ciples which ought to be regarded when it is sought to form an association by which rifle con tests are to be made a permanent part of our in stitutioas. In the first place they mast be local, but the area should not be too limited, (Hear, hear.) There is danger both ways. If the area is too large, you will get none to compete for the prizes except a few crack shot s—there would no feeling of general interest o r of general _.; emula tion. On the other hand , if an association itself to a single town or ne i g hb ou rhood, Sou prizesyou will not attract sufficient public attention. I which are offered will not be sufficiently valuable; the distinction of gaining them will not be equally great. In th e agricultural districts, therefore, it might be wise for two or three counties to unite in a ei n g le association ; but here in Lancashire , w ith our extensive area, our vast population, and our I unlimite d t e t e l m si nh o aud be sorry if nld both of capital and of labour, confess . that had not a County Rifle Association of our own—(cheers) —and I suould be equally sorry if, from local jealousy or any other cause, the single association which we project were to fall through and its place were to be taken by two or three small local associations, not occupying as they fleece eerily would not, the same space in the public eye. (Hear, hear.) What I say does not at all exclude the possibility of matches being held from time to time in different parts of the county. Personally, I think it better that they should be so held, and the County Association should be to them what a County Agricultural Association is to local ones of that nature. I think that our county associations ought to be placed under the authority of the Lord Lieutenant, and that there ought to be carefully trained and experienced officers to act as judges, and inspect the proceedings so as to give them as much as possible a really military character. There is another question upon which I think it is possible that, in the future, great discussion may arise—l mean as to how far membership of the Association or admission to compete for the prizes should be limited to Volunteers. I don't want to see that limitation made absolute. It will be well ' enough that a few prizes are open to all comers ; but as a general rule, I think it desirable to connect the rifle match of the county with its Volunteer force, and chiefly for this reason, that rifle contests are popular and interesting, while drill is not to all persons very interesting, and is not always consi dered agreeable. It may, therefore, be well to hold out the privileg e of competing in these county matches as a s ort of reward to those who have gone through the labour and trouble of training them selves to act in a regular Volunteer corps. (Applause.) Lastly, I think it will be well to secure that the regulations shall be so framed as to prevent all the prizes falling into a few hands. (Hear, hear.) There are many ways in which that may be done, but it is essential for us to re member that our object is not to show in Lanca shire merely the half dozen best shots in England, but to produce a high average of good shooting— k mwuse(b ( caocpeaarnpohnsi confidently pcleiedoafodrte conducted. beings. d s he t uelb ) y eml — etl ea, targettt dnohfb. manner re t hal mri nlee w evi edaena6 had w msoastwo a toh n ehtbna io t iteaoble et n dehdiwns o otitt t neshaht o aeashs n mthnE l oLota y emutyihdsg t taa h hplat o e tioesfnoo. six figure( hec b fncao u h2govr t ;enlwle , ea, ta i l:). rancie f nsorsde i . ddot) t . shots o e t s fi have red every Witho r u e t a a so e n eid t e o ht c , otnaugrnagtutlahtee average ourselves of m a l e the e every single one gl e in he shot three w en w l d: have l a d y e have hit akilled vessel its that as to the artillery practice at the ran ge of a of an ordinary size that might have been attempting to enter the Mersey for a hos tile purpose. (Cheers,) Let us hope that no local jealousy, and that no rivalry (always riva ry (always the greater the more zealous men are in any object they pursue), may interfere with the progress of a movement upon which, in no common degree, the honour and safety of this coun try depends. (Loud cheers.) Lord ELcuo, who was received with much ap plause, said it was with heartfelt satisfaction that he seconded the motion proposed by Lord Stanley —a motion vc hick he hoped would have a most material and beneficial effect upon the volunteer movement in the county of Lancaster. (Applause.) Occupying as he did a certain official position as Chairman of the National Rifle Association, he did not hesitate to accept the invitation to aid in the foundation of a similar association in Lancashire. The objects of the National Rifle Association were well known, but perhaps all did not know that one of the founders of the association (which he hoped would have a long career of prosperity before it) was Col. Gladstone—(applause); and with reference to this point he might say that the National Rifle As sociation was about to publish a little pamphlet— it was only a shilling, and he hoped all present would invest that amount in the purchase of the work, giving a clear and succinct account of the origin of the Volanteer movement. The object of the National Rifle Association was to give perma nence to the Volunteer movement ; and the forma tion of the Association naturally arose from seeing in other countries—Switzerland, for example—the benefit consequent upon every man being trained to the use of the rifle, The National Rifle Association had not got that number of members from Liver pool which it ought to have ; and though the people of Liverpool took great interest in their local asso ciation, yet they should recollect that, like the Royal Agricultural Society, they wanted a cul minating society, which would be the means of finding out the crack shot of England—(ap plause)—and which could bestow some honour which no local association could. (Applause.) That was the system which prevailed in Switzer land, where each canton had its local association, and the different cantons met together once in two years to compete for prizes. With reference to prizes, he knew that all the Volunteers would agree with him when he said that they ought not to look too much to their money value. It seemed to him that the Hightown prizes were rather too large ; and he would remind them that they must not only look to the permanence of the Volunteer movement, but to the 'permanence of the means by which they could make that movement permanent. (Hear.) They should get the Volunteers not to look so much to the prizes as to the position they gained in the contest. In our army the highest honour a soldier could gain was a bit of bronze ; and the National Rifle Association wished their bronze medal to be considered the highest honour open to the competitors. (Applause.) Nothing had given him greater pleasure than to s ee th a t the gentlemen who had conducted the Hightown con test abstained from offering medals. The army won their medals at the risk of their lives, and he should not like to feel that he was going about with medals which had been won only in peaceful con tests with the rifle. (Applause.) It was on that account that he would restrict the prizes to money or plate; and there was no better means of hus banding their resources than by offering challenge cups. In the formation of their County Asso ciation, he should wish them to connect it with the National Association, simply because it was desirable to have a culminating point. If anyone said that the Volunteers had any hostile intention, he would refer them to the speech of Lord Stanley; and if another proof was wanted he would point to the Commander of the Ist Lancashire Artillery —Colonel William Brown. (Applause.) The recent speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was also an important feature in the volunteer movement, because at first the Chancellor was not very favourable to the movement, but now he gave it the benefit of his eloquence. He (Lord Elcho) was quite sure he gave utterance to the sentiments of every volunteer when he said that in taking up the volunteer cause as they had done, it was with a determination that our country should be strong and secure, and that England's voice should be heard, without fear of the consequences, in the cause of liberty and civilisation. He had always wished to feel that the hands of our Foreign Secretary were untied, and that his despatches were dictated solely by a feeling of right and justice without fear of consequences. (Hear, hear.) In concluding, as was his custom, he would give the Volunteers a few words of advice :—Let nothing induce them to relax their efforts, but let them stick to their work like men. And all he hoped was, that the ladies of England, who had shown such a deep interest in the movement, would, if they saw any symptoms on the part of the volunteers to relax their efforts, make them stick to it, for no man knew better than a volunteer tlee magic effects of woman's smile or woman's frown. (Much applause.) Colonel WILLIAM BROWN then proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor for presiding. The motion was seconded by Major Tinley ; and the Mayor having returned thanks announced that the remainder of the evening (it being then ten o'clock) would be devoted to a soiree dansante. , .

As the resolution of the Bank of France to put its rate of discount to the same point as that of the Bank of England seems to have been taken suddenly—Thur sda Y being the usual day for such changes—it is inferred that the drain of bullion, which in the past two months has amounted to nearly L 4,000,000, may have manifested itsel during the past day or two with continued force. The ques f tion of the Turkish Loan may jikewioe have had dome influence. " THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Six o'clook. SHREirsBURY .RACES.—(This Day.) [EY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. NEWPORT GOLD CUP.
