MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues active, and the quotations for the best bills are maintained at and 3 per cent. The requirements of the com mercial classes are not heavy, and the increased in quiry arises from the repayments of the advances to the authorities. The sum of £72,000 in gold was taken from the Bank yesterday afternoon, making a total of £185,000 withdrawn during the last few days. The discount establishment of Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co., it is understood, is about to be constituted as a limited Joint Stock Company, with a capital of £5,000,000. The prospectus will b© published to-morrow. The communication with India by telegraph is suspended ; the difficulty is supposed to be through some fault or break in the Gulf cable. The London Financial Association have issued their report, to be presented on the 17th instant, from which it appears the available balance for the half-year is £103,943, including £40,063 brought forward. Out of this sum a dividend and bonus amounting to £1 2s. 6d. per share, or at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, are recommended, which will absorb £46,283, and leave £62,660 to be carried forward. At the approaching meeting of the London and St. Katherine Docks Company a dividend will be recommended of 2 per cent, for the half year ended the 30th of June. Two O'CLOCK.

TIMES.—If the first day of the elections be taken to indicate the course of the contest, the Liberals have every reason to be satisfied. The returns are everywhere in their favour. They have kept their own seats, and gained, we believe, three from their opponents. Not only for those who live in London but for the country at large, the result'of the metro politan elections will be interesting, as showing the opinions of large and intelligent sections of the population. Where the House of Commons is formed by the votes of constituencies so widely dif fering in numbers, wealth, enterprise, and educa tion, the voice of the great boroughs must have a considerable moral effect. Although the two mem bers of each party may be balanced by the two returned by some petty town, still the leaders of party, and all who are concerned in the conduct of political affairs, cannot forget that the decision of such constituencies as those of the cities of London and Westminster represent pretty accurately the decision of the nation. In the days of real Conser vative reaction, in 1811, that party seated two of their candidates for the city of London and one for Westminster. No one in those days could doubt that this success betokened a wonderful change in the temper of the country, and showed that the impetus which had carried the Reform Bill and many another great change had become dor mant. In our day the Conservatives have attempted the same object, but with very different success. We have heard so long of the Conservative revival, and of the great repugnance to Liberal innovation which was to be everywhere manifest, that it was natural to look with curiosity to the large constitu encies. The first that have pronounced their opinion have been those of the metropolis. In three of the metropolitan districts the Conservatives have en deavoured to bring in one of their party, and in each they have signally failed. They have nowhere run their opponents even closely. In the city of London they made extraordinary efforts, and spent, it is said, very large sums of money. All the authority and influence of the great Conservative firms were used to bring in Messrs. Lyall and Fowler, or at least one of them. But the result has shown that in whatever unknown parts the Conservative reaction may prevail, there is no trace of it in London. It is very difficult to seat four candidates belonging to one party, for the very number begets opposition, and there are always d i o s p a in ll io th n e s those whose tempers impel them to compromise . an to give a help to an apparent mino o r f ity more a proof of the preponderance _ in the City that the party have had . no difficulty in . Liberal it returning all their candidates. In spite of the absence of one of them through ill-health, in spite of a lavish expenditure on the part of the Tories, in spite of all the exertions of the Tory merchants and bankers, and in spite, we may in justice say, of the personal respectability of the Tory candidates, the four Libe rals have been returned by a considerable majority. There is no better test of the opinion of the town constituencies than the election for the City of London. The constituency is equal, if not supe rior, to any borough constituency in the general intelligence and wealth of its members, it is influ enced by a powerful corporation, by ancient and honourable civic companies, and by the wealthiest aristocracy of traders that exist in the world. Its verdict may, then, be fairly taken as that of the most energetic and successful of the middle class in England, and this verdict has now been given in favour of the Government and the policy under which England has advanced in prosperity and happiness during the last six years. In 'West minster the Liberal victory has been equally decided, and by the personal eminence of one of the elected candidates will have, perhaps, an even wider in fluence. In other respects the contest was not one to excite much general interest. An aristocratic Liberal has spent large sums, and a middle-class Conservative has been still mom: profuse. Only regular party men could feel much enthusiasm for either of these candidates. But the nomination of Mr. Mill gave an exceptional interest to the contest. The very circumstance that this eminent writer de clared his most controverted opinions in his address, and in his subsequent speeches, makes his return the more significant. Hundreds who voted for Mr. Mill probably disagreed with him philosophically, and a still greater number politically. But it is cre ditable to the electors, and a hopeful sign for the metropolitan boroughs, that the Westminster people will rather have a man who thinks for himself, even though his conclusions may be different from their own, than one who merely adopts the common places of a party either through personal ambition or the uninquiring inertness of mediocrity. Whata er may be Mr. Mill's position in the new Parliament, the electors of Westminster will have done themselves credit by electing him, since they will have shown that a large constituency can appreciate the claims of intellectual eminence. The return of Mr. Mill, and of Mr. Hughes at Lambeth, not only gives to the metropolis two representatives of distinction in literature, but it acts as an encouragement to those who may be hereafter disposed to seek a seat in Parliament. It can no longer be said that the Metropolitan Boroughs are blind to the higher qualities of candidates ; and if men who have pre viously distinguished themselves neglect to come forward it must be held to be their own fault. Large constituencies, indeed, have always been unfairly treated in this respect. Men whose talents might have insured their return have hung back and left the field to a commoner and bolder class of men • and then, the constituencies who h ave h ad really little choice in the matter, have been ridiculed for the me diocrity of those whom they have unavoidably chosen. In Greenwich we rejoice to see that Alderman Salo mons and Sir C. Bright have been returned, and that the frivolous discontents of the Dockyard have not availed to seat a gentleman who might repre sent them, but would certainly not represent the pre vailing opinion of the borough. In Southwark Messrs. Layard and Locke will probably be returned with out opposition to-day. The result of the Metropoli tan elections is that the Liberals have not lost a single seat. In the country the elections are also going well. The Secretary for the Colonies, the President and Vice-President of the Board of Trade, the At torney-General, and the Ministers of Public Works and of Education have all been returned without opposition. At Exeter also the unopposed return of Mr. Coleridge gives the Liberal party in the house an able speaker and lawyer, who will probably rise to the highest place in his profession. Nowhere have they any serious loss to deplore, and they may well hail the returns of the first day's polling as indicative of a general success. The probability now is that the Government will be considerably reinforced, and that the Opposition will have to confess that all its energy and its elaborate organisation have been unable to bring round the people of the United Kingdom to its side. HERALD.—From time to time the public have been tantalised by statements that some hitherto unknown personage—some " officer in the Prussian service," or other equally mythical individual—has actually succeeded in preparing a species of gun powder which shall only explode when required to do so, and which will, therefore, be free from the vice of blowing-up the magazine. The world has heard many rumours of this sort ; but until very lately the tale never seems to have been verified. To the present hour all London is at the mercy of a stray spark at Pnrfleet, and some of our most important towns are in peril from a similar contin gency. Artificial Etnas are dotted over the country only awaiting a flash of lightning or a little rough friction to set them off in a roar. What powder can do was indicated last October by the concussion which had its centre at Erith, when little more than 50 tons of the nitrous material served to inflict damage to a distance of 10 miles, and sent the sound and shock of its explosion as far as the shores of the British Channel. The impression may have faded somewhat from the public mind ; but danger of this description still continues. The mere intro duction of improved regulations does not do away with the fact that the smutty grains, cold to the touch and quiescent to the eye, are capable of im mediate transformation into a body of fire, raging with the fury of an infernal whirlwind, and perpe trating most astounding havoc. Military exigencies require that we should keep our powder dry. We cannot preserve it moist in the store to be dried when wanted. Hence it is our practice to concen trate in certain places whole masses of this explosive material, which in itself is just as susceptible of ignition while stowed away in the magazine as when rammed home down the muzzle of a cannon or a rifle. In this respect the visa viva of our artil lery differs essentially from the motive power of the steam-engine. The vaporised fluid which propels the pistons of the locomotive is only brought into existence when actually required. Neither coke nor water will burst a boiler—both remain passive and inert until the furnace is lit and the water boils. Gunpowder, on the contrary, is always ready to burst its bones ; no prolonged heating process is required; there needs but a spark, and the full force of the imprisoned gases at once come into play. No lightning slays quicker or is more easily pro voked. To alter this state of things—to give us a material suited for explosive purposes, and yet of such a nature as not to explode until we wish it to do so—is a requirement which modern science would do well to meet. Terrible accounts reach us from time to time of exploding magazines on the Conti nent, in Asia, and in America. In a moment— without a note of warning —men, animals, build ings, and fortresses, aro tossed into the air, and the most substantial constructive works are at once reduced to a chaotic jumble of stones and timber, split, riven, and scorched, mingled with shivering limbs and blackened corpses. There is also the tragedy of the ship on fire, with the flames darting towards the fatal casks. Skill and courage are baffled, and a sudden explosion, as of a mine beneath their feet, sends captain and crew into eternity. In war the more direct casualties of the fight are often aggravated by a stray shell which plunges into the ammunition stores. In regard to the future tactics of naval en gagements, we ask the reader to imagine what will be the effect when the magazine of an ironclad ex plodes ? A spark in the war magazine of the Gloire, the Warrior, the Bellerophon, or the future Her cules, would convert the whole ship into a gigantic bombshell. The massive armour and the closely packed beams of teak would offer a resistance only overcome by a terrific exercise of force ; and while the unhappy crew were blown to atoms the flying fragments of the iron-bound ship, impelled by the fiery blast of the ignited powder, would almost serve to sweep an entire squadron from the seas. At all events, if we mean to blow up the enemy's ironclads, we must pitch our shells from a distance, or the same shot which sends our antagonist into the air,_ may plunge our own ship into the depths beneath. But the great motor of war is about to be chained. Lucifer is to be bound. We have now a " Safety Powder Company," and for the satisfaction of the public the company have had their works on fire. Imagine a conflagration at the Government depot at Purfleet ! The brigade galloping with its engines to such a scene would be veritably a f lorn hope." It might be wise togallop the othoerr way. To plant the hose while the flames were roasting some hundreds of tons of gunpowder, would be at least equivalent to looking in at the cannon's mouth, while the gunner's fuse was lurking at the touch-hole. Picking up a hissing bombshell would be child's play in comparison. But when the. " Safety Powder" works were on fire at Ply mouth a few mornings ago there was no more dan ger to the persons on the spot than in the case of an ordinary conflagration. The powder might burn, but it could not possibly explode. A large quantity of it was, in fact, consumed, but there was no ex plosion, and while the actual works were burnt down the magazine was saved. If the same security cha racterised all places where gunpowder is manufac tured or stored what calamities might be averted, and how many distressing fears would be allayed ! Nor is this remarkable fire the only proof which has been given of the virtues attaching to the new de scription of gunpowder. Mr. Gale, the discoverer of the new process, exhibited the powder some few days ago to Viscount Templetown, and a number of military and naval officers, who had assembled for the purpose at Government House, Plymouth. Ordinary gunpowder was taken in hand, and im mediately rendered " non-explosive." Fire was ap plied, but only a few sparks responded to the flame. The experiment was then reversed, and in less than two minutes the powder was restored to its usual explosive condition. The result was equally satis factory, however strong might be the nature of the powder operated upon. A certain mixture being blended with the dangerous article the latter became harmless, refusing to ignite even though a red-hot poker were thrust into it. In every instance the restoration of the powder to its natural state was effected without diffi culty, and with a facility which was practically instantaneous. We need scarcely enlarge any fur- ther on the importance of such a discovery. We are quite prepared to admit, wiih the philosophers, that the invention of gunpowder has rendered the practice of war less fatal to human life. Battles— though vastly more noisy and picturesque—are less murderous now than in the days of clubs and arrows. But we never could see the virtue of being blown to atoms in time of peace. This cardinal defect of gunpowder is henceforth to be cured—if we are rightly informed as to the merits of Mr. Gale's invention. The public, however, will have a further opportunity of forming a judgment on this point. We understand that the characteristics of the safety powder are to be demonstrated at the present Wimbledon gathering. Next to seeing Blondin on the high rope will be the sensation of beholding Mr. Gale on a barrel of gunpowder, while some equally daring individual thrusts a red hot poker into the keg. Powder made harmless will be something quite as astounding as the taming of n tiger, or the cooking of an omelette over the ,Falls —with the additional advantage of decided utility, even to the saving of many lives and the preservitipn of property. It is quite possible that, by rendering gunpowder thus practically safe, a way will be opened for its utilisation in ways which have not hitherto been attempted. Heartily do we hope that the prospect of a powder magazine which cannot possibly explode will be speedily and completelyyerified. SPORTING INTEL LlGENCE—This__Day. CITY BETTING --Tries DAY.
