CIT Two o'CLocx. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur ing the last few days have been rather more active. Tea has exhibited considerable firmness, and at Public sale common congou sold for 104 d. per lb. For the better qualities of sugar there has been a fair inquiry from the trade, and fully late rates have been supported. For coffee there has been a moderate inquiry, and prices have been steady, plantation Ceylon realising full values. Rice, owing to the large quantity announced for public sale, has been depressed, and in rum the transac tions have bean limited. Saltp(tre has been firm, and the better qualities have realised full values. Tallow has been at rather lower rates. P.T.C. on the spot is quoted 511. 6d. ; July to September de livery, 51s. ; and last three months, 50s. Gd. per owt. The Liverpool cotton market yesterday closed steadily, and prices were without material altera tion. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, 500 of which were taken by the speculators, and 500 by the exporters. The railway share market presented a quiet appearance, and quotations slightly receded. The demand for money yesterday became very active, both in Lambard-street and at the Bank, and although the supply is ample, in fact superabund ant, higher terms were asked by discounters for the negotiation of commercial bills. This remark applies to the several classes of mercantile paper. Instead of 2k, or 21 per cent., the holders of first rate paper were compelled to pay 2i and frequently 21 per cent., while for a large amount of average quality bills 3 per cent. had to be paid. The gold brought by the Indemnity has been purchased for the Continent, and it is expected that the remittance by the Medway will be similarly appropriated. Silver is in fair demand, but there is the usual dulness immediately after the departure of the steamer to the east. Small quantities of specie are arriving from St. Petersburg. The shareholders of the Port Philip and Colonial Gold Company are is receipt of more favourable advises from Australia with respect to their pros pects there than for some considerable time past. After several years of disappointment, the manager at the works in the colony is at length obtaining a fair profit upon the operations of the company. The income is so far in excess of the expenditure that there is some probability of remittances soon being sent home. This movement will no doubt afford considerable satisfaction to the general body of shareholders. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Friday, 25th June, a special settling clay in the Jubbulpore Shares of the East Indian Rail- Way Company, and transactions aro to be marked in the official lists. Increased firmness is apparent in the market for Public securities, and although the transactions are limited there is a decidedly better feeling. A few Purchases have been made, and as the prices are easily moved, the result has been a rise off per cent. Consols were 951 ; but since then they have risen to 95i The New Threes are 95i 96 ; the Reduced 951 96 ; Long Annuities, 11 ; Ex chequer Bills (March), 325. pm. ; Juno, 18s. to 19e. prem. ; Bank Stock is 2191 221; India Loan Debentures are 991 ; ditto Bonds, 21s. prem.

Oa the motion of Mr. WALPOLE, this bill as com mitted pro forma, for the purpose of introducing certain amendments, and the bill was ordered to be recommitted on Thursday week at twelve o'clock. LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. Clauses 1 to 3 inclusive were agreed to. On clause 9, which gives the power to determine whether the act should be adopted or not in town conc.. oils and improvement commissioners, Sir M. FARQUA.HAR said he thought that this power ought to be in the hands of the ratepayers, and not in town councils. If such a provision as the one laid down in the clause was agreed to, the bill, in his opinion, would be a dead letter. He moved an amend ment to effect his suggestion. Mr. BAINES supported the clause. He thought the town councillors, who were the ratepayers selection, were the proper parties to determine whether or not they would adopt the provisions of the bill. Mr. ADDERLEY said the clause provided that two-thirds of the town council must consent to•the adop tion i f the act before it could be put in operation, and then there was an ample power of appaal given to the ratepayers against the decision pf the town council. After a short discussion, the amendment was nega tfved without a division, and the clause was agreed to.. On clause 10, which proposed that the petitions of the ratepayers and others against the decision of the Town Council in favour of the act be addressed to one of her Majesty's Secretaries of State, _ _ Mr. CO WPER proposed that the petition of those opposed to the adoptmn of this act should be sent to the committee of Privy C3uncil, or in other words, to the President of the Board of Health. In f ffect such pe titions would go to the Home Office, which was already overburdened with bu-iness. Mr. ADDERLEY said be felt disposed to adopt the arnenduient of the right hon. gentleman merely for the purpose of expediting the passing of the bill. [LEFT BITTING SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Lord - PORTMAN presented the report of the com mittee on the Carlisle and Langholm Railway 8,11, The committee were of opinion that, in consequence of 'the facts developed in the agreement of the contractors, they ought not to be countenanced by Parliament, and that the bill ought not to be allowed to proceed . The committee thought it their duty ' also to 'express their opinion, tbat all agreements with :contractors ought to be lona fide. _ VICTORIA STATION AND PIMLICO RAILWAY BILL. On the motion that this bill be read a second time, The Earl of CARNARVON said as this bill was of a very important nature, be begged t ) move that. it he re ferred to a select committee, and that the. First Commis sioner of Public Works have leave to appear by counsel against the same. After short — diFensaion, in which Lord Stan'ey of Alderley, Lord Redesdale, and the Earl of POWi3 took part, The Earl of MALMESBURY said, as there ap peared to be a great divkrsity of opinion with respect to this bill, he thought the discussion had better be post-' poned until his noble friend (Earl of Derby) was present. The subject then dropped. THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL. The Earl of MALMESBURY said with respect to the question put to Lim on Friday night by the noble marquis (Lansdowne), touching the new Government of India Bill, that, at the time, in consequence of the absence of the Earl of Derby, he was unable to answer the question. He had since communicated with his noble friend, and be begged to state that it was not the intentiln of the Government to lay the resolutions upon the table. They were not resolutions that proceeded from the Go vernment alone, but resolutions which had.bcen framed in two or three quarters. If they_ had been laid upon the table at the same time that they were produced in the other house there might not have been any objec ion to proceed with them, ?sari passu, in both houses, but the circumstances ere different, as they had only been agreed to by the - other house as a preliminary step to the framir g of a bill, He was not aware that there was any precedent fur the pro duction of the resolutions come to in the Commons under such circumstances, hut he was of opinion th.kt it won' be very inconvenieatto 13y them upon the table was simply no afford their krdsbips onp6rt E s. discussing - the question.' Be entertaiwzd the etr • hope 4 that the bill would be in their ;E during the. second week in Joly, and he tinught it would Le Inc the interest i India t no preliminary discussion should take place. (Sear.) The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE said he had cffore.: the suggestion merely for the purpose of most vtleetually and most speedily discossing . the question. Tne Earl of GRANVILLE said the Governoteut had no doubt taken the course they Iliought beet, but be thought the house had been placed in a falai) pozition. Earl GREY said, if the bill did not come up At the time stated, he trusted that. the standing order of their lordship, with respect to the second readings of Linn set. from the House of Commons, would not be suspended in order to proceed with the bill. At the end of July a number of their lordships would not be in attendance, and to proceed with the bill under such circumstances would be to deprive this house, in a great measure, from expressing its opinion on so important a measure. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE hoped that nothing would induce their lordships to separate before they had come to some final conclusion on this important bill. The subject then dropped. COOLIE EMIGRATION. The Bishop of OXFORD moved for copies of extracts of correspondence between the Colonial department and the Governor of Hong Kong, and between the Colonial department and the Foreign-office, on the subject of emigration from Hong Kong and from the Chinese em pire to the British West Indies and to foreign countries and their possessions, since the let of January, 1856, The right rev. prelate said that no guilt would be greater than that which would be incurred by Englind it, after standing up before the world as the abolielier of slavery and the slave trade, she shosald t,y any careless ness suffer ber own people in her distant dependencies to be once more drawn into that abominable traffic. He was afraid that in the neighbourhood of Natal we were in some danger of being involved in this snare. He was afraid that the Boers iu that locality were gra dually re-establishing the institution of slavery, and that we were in a great degree guilty is this matter. We refused to allow the African people to be supplied with gunpowder and the means of defence, whereas we al lowed the Boers t o supply th e m se l ves a t will w ith the`- means of aggression. We had thus handed over the liberties of the people to the Boers in a manner that would be familiar to the leaders( of the intere*tiug work of Dr. Livingstone. A eractice was growing up of tak ing the children of Africans, and he was afraid that un less the greatest vigilance was used this would be made a means of introducing slavery. He bad on a previous evening alluded to the conduct of Spain, and be bad been misrepreseuted as if he had recommended the go - - vernment to go to am with that country. He had said nothing of the kind. All that he bad said was that her Maj ,, sty's government should use their legitimate influ ence with Spain, and he did not believe tbat war would be necessary. When Slavery was aboli,hed it was thought necessary to adopt various measures fir the purpose of supplying the coioeies with free labour; but it was felt that that c,old only safely be done by ac- comparyiug every one of those/ measures witir an elaborate sy-ttu► chickw, to prevent the reintro duction of slavery Limier the pretence of free lv:ourerv. It was enacted r that there should he a protector of the immigrants ; and prot - i;-,i•,u was made ti - pitt curry free labourer should have the wet h return when he wished. Ail there measures were proofs of the ntcessity that was felt to exist tor precautions against aLusc. He was glad to say that, so far as the Mauritius was con. corned, the experiment had been most successful; end there had grown up in that colony a body of men who were really free, as well as honest end contented la houeers. With respect to the more ieurneeiiate subject of his motion, statements had been received which had given him great uneasiness. A proclamation bad bete, issued in 1854, from which it appeared that slavery was then being introduced, and there were now reports coming over fo this country from which it would seem that the system which that proclamation was intended to put down was re-appearing. Language of rebuke had been used towards those who had shown themselves jealous of the system which some were seeking to intro duce. But this country went to China as a Christian people and as professed advocated of the freedom c f mar. Their lordehips had recently heard an el, quent denun ciation of practices which were carried on under the flag of a neighbouring nation. But surely we ought net to enable France to turn round upon us and soy, " See what your own people are doing at Hung Kong ! " We ought to be above suspicion. We ought to be clouely cautious that under no possible coejuncture of circum stances so great a sin as the save trade should scam be brought upon us. We ought to be able to show the world that no gain, no advantage, no colonial con venience should ever prevent us from proclaiming with plain, clear, and unmistakeable voice, that we would neither directly nor indirectly suffer this crime of kid napping and making slaves to be palmed off upon the British nation. The Earl of CARNARVON had no objection to pro duce the papers for which his right rev. friend had moved, iu a speech which had embraced a wide selection of topics. The papers would lay open what was in many respects a painful story; but, at the same time, he had no wish to keep back anything. He was glad his right rev. friend had dated his return from the Ist of Jan,, 1856 ; because on that day the Chinese Paseenger Act came into operation. The right rev. prelate had alluded to the proclamation of 1854, but he must remember that was before the act was in force. By that measure an emigrant agent was' established at Hong Kong, and at each of the other four open ports, whose duty it was to see that sufficient accommodation and a proper dietary were pro vided, He (the noble ear') was afraid, however, that the act bad not proved so satisfactory as might have been desired: But it should be remembered that there were two classed cf emigrant ships—those who to , k coolies to English colonies, and those who conveyed them to foreign possessions. The papers for which the right rev, prelate had moved would show that the act had woiked well with regard to the one class, but that with regard to the other class there were still many serious and crying abuses. It was obvious that even if the law was not evaded, as was generally the case with respect to vessels clearing out for ft reign ports, the government had no authority over them when they reached their destination. WAti regard to British po- , +.e , .l:,nti the cabe was very different. Between the years 1834 and 1856 uo fewer than 170,000 coolies bad been conveyed to the Mauritius ; and in 1856, an fewer than 134,000 re mained. Their wages were from 13 , . to 17e. per month ; and during their five Tears' service they could actomu late 251., which wee of course quite a competence fee them. In British Galena 236 coolies were employed, at wages averaging about a dollar a day ; in 1856, there was in the savings bark about 40,000 dollars be longing to them ; and 4,000/. had been transmitted home. In Trinidad there was about 350 coolies, who had deposited 6,2901. with the authorities for the same purpose. The Chinese, it should be said, proved to be the best emigrants and the best labourers. But what had been the case a ith the coolies who emigrated to foreign possessions ! The returns were not very com plete, and he was not disposed to lay much stress on the relative mortality on board the two classes of ships. In the years 1852.54 the number of Chi nese conveyed on board British ships to British possessions was 2,340, of a horn there had died on the passage 230, or 10 per cent. —certainly a very large percentage. But in the ten years, 1847-57, 9,600 persons were conveyed on board 26 British ships to Cubs, and of these 1,391 died, or nearly 14 one-th rd per cent. He was sorry to say the British ships were almost at the bottom of the list in point of mortality ; the American per tentage being 91, the Dutch 11 1-3, the French 121, and the Spanieh 111, The evidence as to the cause of this excessive mortality did not appear to be very satisfactory. It appeared, how ever, to have been to some extent owing to want of ven tilation, bad water, and the like, but it also appeared that the emigrants were not always selected from the classes best able to stand the voyage. He would now mention a few of the more remarkable cases. The John C a l v i n m ade the voyage to Havannah in 150 days, and out of 332 emigrants ilse lost 121 ; and the Duke of Portland lost 128 out or 332. (The noble lord instanced some other ships, the names of which were not clearly heard) It must ba remembered that these were al, s which bad not only been sent from Hong Kong, but which appeared to have complied with the requisite re gulations. He was afraid that what hie right rev. friend Buckghamsh. Clydesdale Jc ,Col.Stour Vy. E.Lin. g. 6 p.e r E. Un. H. H Sh • Was. Barr. & Neils. Direct. Do. New Glstr.&Dn.Fr Hull St Selby Do. Shares Do.

The long•anticipated trials of the libels on the Emperor of the French took place this morning in the Coma of Queen's Bench. There was scarcely any ibterebt evinced in the proceedings. The first case taken was that of the QUEEN V. TRUELOVE. After the jury had been sworn, The Attorney-General said he rejoiced to have to an nounce to them that they would not be called upon to lay the indictment. The prosecution was instanced by the late Government, and proceeded with by the present Government, in consequence of the publication of certain pamphlets containing passages intended, as it was thought, to convey to evil-minded men the crime of assasi nation and murder. 11 , 3 felt it his duty to submit this case to a jury of Englishmen to endeavour to prove that the law of England, which they sat their to assist in ad ministering, and to the the people cf England, of whom you form a part, would never tolerate or endure the dissemination of doctrines which ought to bo rej4eted and denounced with disapprobation and digust by every patriot in every country, and by every honest man throughout the world, and to endeavour to prove that the Sovereign of France, the faithful ally of England, was as well entitled to the protection of onr laws as any English gentleman or any English prince ; but I learn with great satisfaction from my learned friend Mr. James that his client, whom there is no reason to doubt was a respectable tradesman, and the father of a large family, was ready to deny, in unqualified terms, and without reserve, that he never intended or desired, directly or indirectly, to countenance or encouraze the crime of assassination or murder, and that he was ready to explain his regret that any such misconception should have arisen upon any publication which he has been a party to the sale. Such a course, he considered, did honour and credit to the defendant man Englishman, a: d he (the Attorney-General) accepted the assurance, whin.: he bad no doubt would be freely and frankly given on behalf of the defender, that the publication of these libels had ceased, and would not be renewed. Under these circumstances be had no objection to the jury re turning a verdict of not guilty. Mr. James said he had not the least hesitation so stating that he had advised his client to disavow on his part, and indeed it would have been the defence bad the case proceeded, that there was no intention on the part either of the writer of the pamphlet entitled Tyrannicide—ls it Justifiable ?" or of the publishing to• incite to the commission of assassination or murder. So far as the defendant was concerned, he, as the pub lisher, believed it to have been a dissertation on the abstract question, and he never in any way sanctioned or intended to do so, the commission of assassination or murder. With reference to the other part of the case, relative to the further non-publication and sale of the work, it was right to state that when be (Mr. James) and his learned friend, who were retained for the de fence, were consulted on the case, Mr. Truelove was afraid that he would be surrendering some of the first and most valued privileges of the freedom of the press if, believing as he die, that the pamphlet was a mere dissertation or treatise on the abstract question, he entered into any engage ment not to publish any more of them. He James) took the responsibility of representing to Mr. Truelove that these pamphlets were probably liable to misconcep tion, and their being published at a time when there was an irritation between two great nations, which every right-minded person must wish to see firmly and ever lastingly allied together in bonds of amity and good fel lowship, imprudent ; and that by abstaining from selling them or publishing them he would not be sin rendering any of the privileges of the freedom of the press. Mr. Truelove acted upon that representation, and had ever since refrained, and would refrain, from publishing or selling a single copy. He hoped that would be satisfac tory to all parties. Lord Campbell said it was satisfactory to find that the jury would not be called upon to give a verdict in this case of not guilty. There could be no doubt that the publication in question was a libel, and had it been pro ceeded with, it would have been his duty to have in formed them, if the facts were proved, that a publication having a tendency to incite to the commission of assas sination or murder was a libel, and that sending it forth to the world was a libel also in paint of law, when be had no doubt they would have discharged their duly be finding the defendant guilty. It would be a re proach to the laws of this country, and of every civilised ccountry in the world, if the laws permitted a publica tion of this kind to be published with impunity. The liberty of the press required no such license, and it wag only brought into repute by the publication of such works. He bad no doubt the dc fendaat had acted with the utmost propriety, and hs must say the learned csunsel who represented the def n dant had so acted in his address to tke jury, in ente►i into .an engagement that this publication should no ►onger be sold in any part of the United Kingdom. He gave no opinion on the publication other than to say, that it was a publication that ought no longer to be cir culated in England. A verdict of not guilty was accordingly taken. THE QUEEM ♦. STANIELLIIS SCHORZEITSEI. Another jury having been impannelled, The Attorney-General said that was alsoa prosecution instituted by her Majesty's Government against the defendant for libels on the Emperor of the French. It was unnecessary for him to repeat what he had stated in the other case, as prob ,bly they were at that time in court ; but it was enough for him to say, et-pecialy as the defendant was a foreigner residing in the country under tho protection of our laws, that these laws, whilst they permitted unrestrained freedom of opinion in the country in reference to public men and measures, would not permit, and he trusted never would permit, sanction, or tolerate the publication of anything countenancing assassination cr murder. He understood the defendant, who had placed himself wisely and honourably in the hands of his counsel, Mr. James, was ready, as in the last case, to pledge himself before a Bri tish jury, and in the face of the British people, that he had no object or intention in the publication of the letter complained of to incite any oue to the commission of any crime ; that he regretted the paper, to the publication of which he became a party, should have borne the can struction that had subjected him to that prasecntion and that be agreed, as in the last case, to leave its pub: lioation altogether, and, in consequence he (the learned Attorney-General) under the circumstances, also con sented to a verdict of not guilty in the case. Mr. James, on the part of the defendant, said the libels complained of were published in a letter addressed to Parliament and the Press, by Felix Pyat, Beason, and A. Talandier, well-known exiles in this country. It was originally published in Frerch, but afterwards transla'ed into English, and on the part of the defendant, Le (Mr. James) made the same arrangement as in the last caFe. In publishing the pamphlet in question, the defendant had no intention to incite assassination or murder, and acting under the advice of his counsel, he was ready to adopt the suggestion, and undertake that no more copies of the letter should be published or sold by him. Lord Campbell said the learned counsel for the de, fendant had given him very sound and discreet advice, and defendant had acted very wisely in acceding to the proposal that was made to Lim ; but as he was a fo reigner, he (Lard Campbell) would only add, what be had before observed, tbat it was the glory of this country to afford an asylum to proscribed and per-ecuteci indivi duals for politics! cffeeces from all parts of the globe, but those who found an asylum here must bear in mind that whilst they enjoyed the proteccion of the laws of England they were bound to obey them, and whatever was a crime in any of her Majesty's subjects was a crime for which they were liable, if committed by them whilst they were residing in the United Kingdom. lie hoped it would be borne in mind that foreigners could not con spire in this country with impunity against the laws of foreign princes in friendly alliance with this country. A verdict of not gully was al: o taken in this case, and the proceedings terminated. General and Lady Mary F( x have recently arrived at their residence at Kensington, after an absence of stveral months on the Continent.

It shou'd be remembered that there wassi - broad dig. tinction tits drawn between the conveyance of Chinese coolies to Cuba and the conveyance of them to ourcolonies. With reg .rd to English colonies, he beleved that the mi. gration had proved as sa'iqactory to the coolies as it bad to the emigrants.

Eier'Since 1335 the rlave trade had been against the law of Spain, and legally all the 'Agrees imported since that time were entitled to their freedom. The persons so entitled, it was calcula ted, amounted to one-belfeof the whole number of negroes on the island; and if the half of theta were de. dared free, is would be impeseihle to keep the rest in slavery.' A portion of the population of the United States were desirous to obtain posessioe of Cuba by peaceable means if they could, and by any means; if they could not, the etject being to carve three slave states out of Cuba, and thus obtain a decided majority in the seuate, where at present they lead only a majority of one. This object wooll be felled if the slaves is Cuba were set 'Tee.

By the colonial regale . times, unless a cert a i n p ro p or ti on ef women aocompanied the emigrants, they were not allowed to land, and there fore at present Chinese emigrants were not allowed to land in our colonies. He would also ask the Secretary for Foreign Affairs to. lay on the , table the cerre pond erce which led to the proclamation respecting the coolies on the Chincha Ilauds. He was informed of the atroci t:es committed there, and he desired the admiral on the station -to visit the islands to ascertain whether the re ports which had reached the Government were true, and he gave the Peruvian Government to uederstand that unless they remedied the evils_ complained ef, our forces ebould liberate the coolies.

He was sure that if the papers now moved for were laid on the table they would go far to remove the misrepresentations that now prevailed on the subject.

The Board of Trade, under the circumstances, had not thought it necessary to institute legal proceedings, as it was the intention of the survivors to do so, and that he had no doubt would be of a very searching description.

The CHANCELLOR a the EXCHEQUER, said it was impossible to specify the exact time when the money to be advanced should be repaid, as the arrangement for raising the money depended on the passing of ? the bill. It was to the interest of the commissioners that the bill should be passed as soon as possible.
