During the last few days there has been a mode rate amount of activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Tea, however, has been dull, as dealers are waiting further orders from China by the Overland Mail. Sugars have been dealt in to a fair extent at full prices ; and in rice, cocoa. spices, and saltpetre, an average amount of business has been transacted at slightly reduced quotations. Tallow has shown more activity, and prices have tended upwards for both present and forward deli veries. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi ness was moderately active, prices remained firm. The sales were 8,000 bales. _ There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. The Illinois has arrived from New York with £184,000 in specie. At the meeting of the English and Australian Copper Company yesterday a dividend of 2s. 6d. per share was declared. There is still• an active business in discount circles, but the bankers and brokers seem more disposed to limit their operations, because it is not improbable that the influx of new demands for loans, &c., will accelerate an advance in the current rates. Four per cent. is the minimum charge, and in some cases even higher terms have been submitted to for the negotiation of really good bills. Although there is an upward tendency, however, an imme diate movement in the terms of the Bank of Eng land is scarcely anticipated. There was a meeting yesterday afternoon of the creditors of Mr. E. M. Abbott of the Bow Brewery, when the liabilities were stated at £88,689, and the assets at £33,092, showing about 7s. 6d. in the pound ; but if the beer which was shipped to India is ultimately accepted by the East India Company, there will be an addition of £19,600, or about 12s. in the pound. An offer of 7s. in the pound, with a farther dividend of ss. in the event of the realisa tion of the above sum, was made, and will be taken into consideration by a committee of the principal creditors. A moderate amount of business has been trans acted to-day in the market for public securities, but sales having again preponderated, the quota tions have remained depressed. The state of the weather and the effect it may have upon the money market, through the necessity that may arise for extensive purchases of foreign grain, are the prin cipal causes of the downward tendency. Consols are 921 s for transfer, and 923 for the account. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced are flat, at 933 3 ; Long Annuities at 161 3 ; India Loan is 1031 ; the Debentures are 963 ; and Exchequer Bills, 3s. prem. A moderate amount of business is recorded in Foreign Securities, and prices are tolerably steady. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 731 to 741 ; ditto New, 60 to 601 ; Mexican are firm at 203; Sardinian, at 821 3 ; and Russian 5 per Cents. at 108 ; ditto 43 per Cents. are flat at 931 ; Portuguese, at 431 1 ; and Dutch 23 per Cents. at 641. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 21 prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, prem. ; and the Universal, 1 3 prem. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been on a limited scale, and increased heaviness has been apparent. Lancashire and Yorkshire have declined 55.; Great Northern (A Stock), North- Western, and Midland, 10s. ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and South-Eastern, 15s. ; and North British, £1; Brighton and Scottish North-Eastern improved ss.

E X.TRAORDINAR Y CHARGE OF OBTAINING PIANO- St FOR TES BY FRAUD.—Don Oscar de la. China, pianist to the B a t t Queen of Spain, was charged on a warrant before Mr. at Ty rw hitt for being the bailee of certain p roperty, to wit, a astt pianoforte, belonging to one Charles Holdernesse, of the value of £5O, and feloniously converting the same to his si own use. si The prisoner was brought from Manchester by Shilling•• s ford, one of the warrant officers of the Court, having been taken into custody by him at the Merchants' Hotel, Old ham-street, Manchester. It was there ascertained that he had three separate lodgings, and at. each of them a piano- forte. Mr. Charles Holdernesse , 444, Oxford-street, pianoforte ate manufacturer, said that on the 18th July last the prisoner stc came and said he was about to g ive a concert at Kensington stl Palace, and required avery good pianoforte, at the same time handing him a programme, which stated that he was about 1. to give a matinee musicale at Kensington Palace, under Rt , the patronage of her Giace the Duchess of Inverness, on st Saturday, July 23. He said he wanted it at once, so that he :t: could practise on it, and, having read the programme, he st, was induced to let him have one of the value of £5O, and to send it to his lodgings at 66, Margaret-street, the terms fixed on for the hiring being 25e. a week. He (Mr. Hol- at dernesse) then had an intimation from Mr. Rolt , pianoforte st maker, of the Tottenham-court-road, that he had lent the prisoner a piano, and that he had been endeavouring to sell it in Nassau-street. This was about four or five days after the piano was sent to the prisoner's lodgings, and at once fearing for the safety of the piano he went there, and found the prisoner had left, and that his piano had been pledged at Mr. Attenborough's, in Greek-street for £35. He then made inquiries, and as certained that the prisoner and a Mr. Meyer had been there to pledge another, and also that the prisoner had offered to sell a Mrs. Frazer the duplicate of a piano at the place where he was then lodging in Grosvenor-park, and also received a telegraphic message from Manchester, stating that the prisoner had been endeavouring to obtain pianos , of Mr. Molineux and others at that place. Mr. Charles Cotten, manag er at Mr. Attenborough's , 11, Greek-street, pawnbroker, said that on the 20th of July y a gentleman came and asked if they took in pledge piano He said they did, but required to see the receipts for them first. The gentleman came the next da y and took him to 66, Margaret-street, where the prisoner at the time was playing the piano. He asked if he had bought the piano of a maker, and he said he had not, but of a friend. Ihe next day one of the persons he saw in the room brought what purported to be a receipt for £3O, and signed " A. Adams." This satisfied him, and the next day he sent for the piano and paid the money (£35) to a person who was with the prisoner. Shillingford said the bill was framed in Mr. Holdernesse's name, but was receipted in the name of Adams. He found the prisoner had two or three lodgings, and at each of them he had a piano. Mr. Gastave, 60, Great Russell-street, pianoforte maker, said prisoner came to him and h ired the most valuable p iano he had, and entered the name of E. A. Meyer in his cash book, and the writing was the same as that on the supposed bill of Mr. Holdernesse. The prisoner had endeavoured to sell it, but he had fortunately made the landlady of the house sign a paper that it should not be taken away. The prisoner was remanded, the officer stating that there would be other cases. • The Madrid journals of the 19th contain no political news. The Queen had recovered from a slight indisposition. Several governors of provinces had been removed, and others appointed. Mrs. ~ , ... SHARE MAR.KET.-(THIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Closing I Business are!Railways. Paid. Price.

Sister to Roesia took the lead at starting, with Parasite second, Dundee third, and Maggiore lying away. Sister to Roesia led to the Middlethorpe turn, where she bolted. The lead was then left with Parasite, who maintained it to opposite the stand, where he was challenged by Dundee, who was in turn collared by Mag giore. A magnificent race home ensued, Maggiore getting up in the last stride, and making a dead heat of it. Para site was beaten two lengths from Maggiore and Dundee. Sutton was a bad fourth. Deciding Heat.-5 to 4on Dundee, who took the lead at starting, made play throughout at a good pace, and won very cleverly by a length. A. Edwards rod() Dundee in the deciding heat.

Nothing else mentioned. General Hesse cut out the work, at a good pace, Northern Light being at his heels, Bivouac third, and Sampson last. Before half a mile had been tra versed, Sampson was beaten. Bivouac waited on General Hesse and Northern Light to within the distance, when he quitted them, and won in a canter by 10 lengths. There was a length between the second and third horses. The Prince of Wales Stakes of 10 sous each, with 50 added, for 2-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 21b. T.Y.C. Mr. Merry's Folkestone, (21b ex.) (Custance) 1 Mr. Jackson's Longshot (21b ex.)

Longshot, Folkestone, and the Voltigeur colt ran nearly level to the half distance. Folkestone then quitted his op ponents, and won very easily by four lengths, and the same interval separated Longshot and Violet, the latter passing Lord Glasgow's colt on the poSt, and finishing third. 'The Groat Ebor Handicap of 100 sovs added to a sweep stakes of 20 sovs each, 10 ft, and 5 only if declared. Two miles. Lord Glasgow's Paz, 4 yrs, 6st 111 b (A. Edwards) Sir C.

Defender, Winkfield, and Julia were the leading trio ; Gladiolus, Hepatica, Pax, Moorhen, and Ancient Briton lying about- the middle of the ruck, the tail consisting of Cape Flyaway, First Lord, Artless, and Satellite, the latter of which was fearfully outpaced at the commencement. Immediately on entering the new course, Moorhen took a clear lead, Defender running in the second place, and no material change was observed in the positions of the remainder of the field. Passing along the wood-side, the lot took closer order, and Satellite got up to the last of the ruck, Cape Flyaway improving his place. On entering the straight the pace told in the heavy ground, and Moorhen showed symptoms of retiring. At the distance, Hepatica, next the rails, headed Moorhen, and was immediately joined by Pax. Before the half distance had been reached it became evident the race was reduced to a match between Hepatica and Pax, A slashing race ensued, Pax fairly collaring Hepatica opposite the Stand, and winning a fine struggle by half a length. First Lord, persevering for a place, passed the lot of beaten horses at the lower end of the en closure, and finished third, but he was beaten at least twenty lengths from Pax and Hepatica. Julia was fourth, and Artless fifth ; and as the others were all pulled up, it would be useless to assign them positions. The last four, however, were Ancient Briton, Winkfield, Springwell, and Satellite, none of which passed the post.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(This EVENING). The LORD CIIA.NCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE MARRIAGE LAWS. Lord REDESDALE presented 23 petitions from Liver pool and other places against any alteration in the marriage law to legalise the marriage with a deceased wife's sister. HIGHWAYS LAND CONSOLIDATION BILL. The NOBLE LORD also laid on the table a bill calculated to effect the consolidation of the law relating to highways. The bill was read a first time. LAW REFORM. The LORD CHANCELLOR called the attention of the house to the measures for law reform introduced into that house during the present session. The noble and learned lord having laid on the table a bill to repeal a great number of statutes, said he did so, not with the idea of its being passed this session, but that it might be printed, circulated, and considered previous to the commencement of the next session. In proceeding to notice the legal reforms that had been introduced into their lordships house, he observed that the endeavours in the direction of law reform had been looked upon as a failure; but he was not of that opinion, because, although un doubtedly there had been many failures, measures had been passed which would, without doubt , greatly benefit the public. He felt great pleasure that the Court of Chan cery Bill had passed both houses, and only awaited the Royal Assent. The Companies' Bill, one to conso lidate the whole of the laws relating to joint-stock companies, had also received the concurrence of all parties in their lordships' house, and having passed all its stages, it was sent to the Commons on the sth of March. Unfortunately it did not appear on the business paper until nearly the close of the session, and when it was taken under discussion it was thought better that it should, for the present, be withdrawn. Several bills for the consolidation of the criminal law were next introduced, and it was much to be regretted after the immense labour that had been expended on those bills that they had also to be withdrawn, and he could not refrain from saying that he looked upon such a proceeding with the greatest regret. The next bill introduced was one to deal with persons guilty of administering poisons ; that bill however was more fortunate and had passed all its stages, and received the royal assent. The bill for enabling courts of common law to exorcise equitable jurisdiction in certain cases had also passed, and the benefit it would confer would be incalculable. He had also introduced a bill to put an end to the scan dalous system of English bankrupts going to Scotland to get what was vulgarly termed white-washed, after a residence in that countryof 40 days which was inva riably spent in deer stalking and grouse shooting. The measure, he rejoiced to say, had also received the sanction of Parliament, and a system had been abolished whichhad long been very justly complained of. The Divorce Bill was sent to the Commons at an early period, but after considerable delay the searching eye of some members discovered an informality in the bill, and raised a question of privilege as to one of its clauses. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took tho chair at a quarter past three o'clock. BOARD OF WORKS. Mr. E. JAMES gave notice that early next session he would move for a commission to inquire into the working of the Commissioners of Works-office, with a view to ascer tain if more efficiency could not be secured in that depart ment of the public service. THE INDIAN TELEGRAPH. Mr. CONINGHAM asked the Secretary to the Treasury who was the engineering adviser of the Government in the matter of the Indian Telegraph, and whether he was the gentleman who acted as engineer of the surveying expedi tion to the Isthmus of Darien, which terminated dis astrously ? Mr. M. GIBSON said that Mr. L. Gisborne was re tained as surveyor of the undertaking in question. PREVENTION OF RECOIL OF GUNS. Mr. CONINGHAM asked the Secretary to the Admi ralty, whether the Lords of the Admiralty had any inten tion of adopting a plan, as sent in by C. W. Forbes, Esq., for checking the recoil of the gun by spring buffers, and which was about to be adopted by the French Government. Lord C. PAGET said that there was no plan in regard to this matter submitted to Government. INCOME TAX. In reply to Mr. WHALLEY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that in some cases the practice was to modify the Income-tax. He supposed the question of the hon. member had reference to a general measure on the subject of the incidence of the inequality of the tax., and it was not proposed to introduce any measure of that description. THE POST-OFFICE. Sir G. BOWYER asked whether it was the intention of the Post-office authorities to farm out the paying and issu ing window of the chief money order office ; that is to say, whether they intend to confide it to a private individual, who for certain advantages weuld contract to supply the labour, in order that the regular appointments may be abolished ; and, if so, what was proposed to be done with the officers who are to be thus superseded in their duties by contract labour, the whole of those officers having been more than five years on the establishment. Mr. LAING said that with regard to the first part of the question, no decision had been come to. The subject of compensation for loss of office would be regulated by the body to whom these matters had been referred. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said with reference to a question put by the hon. baronet the member for Dundalk (Sir G. Bowyer) en a previous occasion, he wished to state that the report of the Commission relative to the Post-office could not possibly be laid on the table this session. POOR RATES, &c. On the motion of Mr. J. WHITE, the following return was ordered :—That the Return IL of male occupiers in Parliamentary cities and borough, 124, of the present ses sion of Parliament, be amended so as to include the cor rected numbers of male occupiers at £6 and under £lO, in certain cities and boroughs, as laid before the select corn• mittee of the House of Lords on the elective franchise on the 6th day of June, 1860, by the Poor Law Board ; and that the return, as amended, should contain information arranged according to the annexed form. GARIBALDI. Mr. E. JAMES asked whether any official information had been received of the landing of General Garibaldi in Calabria, and the capture by his troops of the town of Reggio. Lord PALMERSTON replied in the negative. THE AUSTRALIAN POSTAL SERVICE. In reply to Mr. HENNESSY, Mr. LAING said that the present Government thought that the system of ocean postage had been pushed to an extreme, and that it was not intended to carry out the views of their predecessors in regard to this matter. AUSTRIA AND NORTHERN ITALY. Mr. BUTT referred to statements that have appeared in the continental journals-Ist. That the Austrian Govern ment has intimated to that of Turin that they would treat the landing of Garibaldi in the Neapolitan dominions as a *aims belli between Austria and Northern Italy; 2. That Austria had engaged or tendered support to the King of Naples, by armed intervention, against any attempt at re . , volntion. ;, To ask th e Fi rs t L or d o f th e T reasur y whether her Majesty's Government had received any information of such a menace being addressed to the Court of Turin, or such an engagement or offer having been made to that of Naples ! Lord PALIII I ',RSTON said that the Austrian Govern ment did not intend to interfere in the transactions going on in It'ily, but were determined to defend their own fron tiers. There was no ground for supposing that any such lommunication as that alluded to had taken place. DIVORCE COURT BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. TRUSTEES AND MORTGAGEES, &c., BILL. The amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to, and the bill was ordered for third reading. CONJUGAL RIGHTS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The consideration of the Lords' reasons for disagreeing with the Commons' amendments to this bill, which was on the orders of the day, was postponed until to-morrow. PUBLIC BUSINESS. On the formal motion that the house adjourn till Mon- Mr. T. DUNCOMB E moved the following resolution as a standing order :—" That on the question of adjournment from Friday to Monday, all discussion shall be confined to questions relating to the intended business of the followin week, or to matters of publi c urgency d eman di ng i mme diate attention." He complained of the present practice that prevailed of bringing forward mi=cellaneous subjects which were not of a pressing character on Friday, to the delay of public business. Sir G. C. LEWIS agreed with the hon. member (Mr. Duncombe), but as the matter would be referred to a com mission, and as there was a thin attendance of members, he considered it would not be advisable to discuss the question at present. 4 , After some conversation the subject dropped. THE SWISS CONFEDERATION—SAVOY AND NICE. Mr. KINNAIRD asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether definitive arrangements had been made for assem bling the conference proposed to be held at the instance of the Swiss Confederation; and, if not, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to recognise the annexation of Savoy and Nice as a valid act, forming part of the public law of Europe; also, if any of the other great Powers were acting in this matter in conjunction with her Majesty's Government, and he begged to call the attention of the house to this question. Mr. KINGLAKE eulogised the conduct which the Swiss Government invariably pursued in the recent events that had taken place on the continent, and again deprecated what he designated the force of might against right on the part of the Emperor of the French in the annexation of Savoy and Nice. These provinces were of great importance as menacing the frontiers of Germany and Italy, but he believed that Germany and Switzerland were alarmed at the conduct of the Emperor of the French, and that there was no ground of apprehension of a languid ac quiescence on their part in any further aggression of that sovereign. The honourable member then referred to the massacre in- Syria, and said that he believed there were two clues that would enable Lord. Dufferin to trace out the cause of these disturbances in the Lebanon. In the first place he had heard that a num ber of muskets had been distributed amongst the Maronites, bearing the mark of an European government. In the next place a paper, in Arabic, had been published in Beyrout, which was printed at a press in one of the capitals of Eu rope, denouncing not only the Druses but the English. He next adverted to Italy, and said that they had been informed that General Garibaldi had landed in Calabria, and that he was about not only to attempt to overthrow the Government of Naples, but that he intended to direct his movements against Venetia. They were also informed that Austria did not intend to interfere with the opera tions of Garibaldi as regarded Naples and the Papal States. He highly approved of that determination, and considered it was entitled to the greatest praise, considering the ante • cedents of Austria. He hoped that Gen. Garibaldi would not proceed against Venetia, for in that case Austria might burst forth from the quadilateral and overrun the country up to the gates of Turin itself. He concluded by expressing a hope that nothing would occur to disturb the friendly relations of this country with France, as the interests of both were, he contended, quite compatible. RUSSIAN ENCROACHMENT ON THE CASPIAN. Mr. H. SEYMOUR called the attention of the house to the present state of our relations with Persia, and asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to lay upon the table of the house any documents relating to reported en croachments of Russia on the Persian shores of thetaspian Sea, and any correspondence regarding the attempts made by Russia to interfere with Persia in the endeavours of the latter to exercise legitimate autho rity over Turkoman tribes under her subjection. With respect to Syria he advocated the infliction of sum mary punishment on the malefactors connected with the recent disturbances, which measure could alone restore confidence amongst Christian residents in the Lebanon. Sir G. BOWYER said that he fully concurred with the bon. member (Mr. Kinglake) that the annexation of Savoy and Nice was an outrage on the laws of Europe, but he con sidered that the proceedings of General Garibaldi was an equal outrage. Lord PALMERSTON said that at a meeting which had taken place he had praised the foreign policy of the noble lord (Lord John Russell), but he did not illus-. trate that by the fact of the landing of General Garibaldi in Italy, though he stated that that event might lead to very important results. The King of Naples bad an army of 60,000 men, and a large fleet at his command, and if General Garibaldi succeeded it must be by the feeling on the part of the people of this country and the assistance they rendered him. With regard to a question put •to him, he had to state that the treaty of Turin had not received the assent of the Powers of Europe, most certainly not of this country. He hoped that on every account such ar rangements would be made on the part of France as would justify the security of Switzerland. With reference to Syria, instead of investigating the causes of the disturbances, it would be more desirable to consider the best means of preventing their recurrence. England was acting in conjunction with France, Russia, and Austria for the purpose of effecting that object, and France had shown, by the punishment of those engaged in these disturbances, that she was sincere.

(Before Mr. Kerr.) THE PANIC IN THE LEATHER TRADE-RESULT 10F MESSRS. STREETFIELD'S FAILURE-ISRAEL T. KER AND ANOTHER. Plaintiff is an extensive carcase butcher, of AL lgate, and defendants are large hide salesmen, tanners, ant 1 Govern ment contractors, of Bermondsey. . Mr. Buchanan stated that his client sought t o recover £2O 18s. balance of an account for hides, sold and. delivered to defendants. Plaintiff and his witnesses said that the price -allowed by defendants (with whom plaintiff had dealt many - years) for hides delivered was not fair, nor in accordance with the market price. Mr. Sharpy, counsel for defendant, contended) that the price was fair, and called witnesses to prove the ,depression of the market during the week from the 2d to 7th July ultimo. In the course of the case it was stated that on Friday the 27th June the market price was 3s. Bd. to : 3 s. 9d, per ear stone. Late on the Monday following and I] ' on Tugs day the failure of Messrs.

Up to the p resent time the h ide rn tarket has not recovered from the effects of the great fat lure men tioned, for the reporter was informed that 38. 4 I. is now the pricy for prime skins. His Honour said in this case there were no fat :Is in dis pute. It appeared that plaintiff h a d b een accu stowed to send his hides to defendant, wh o h a d f rom ti u i e to time allowed a quantum price r egu l ated b y the sta t e 0 1 f the mar ket. But in the case of th e present hides, plain" had been allowed a price which was not a fair price, but ; a panic price, and the price in a panic market is not a quantum value. In this case plaintiff would have a verdi ct for the value amount. Mr. Sharpe objectedstrongly to the verdict, aad a rather warm discussion ensued. Mr. Buchanan applied for costs, which were att lowed.
