NEW THOROUGHFARE TO OXFORD-STREET and the speculative spirit strong, the prospect of a general rise seems sure. Mr. NICHOLAY introduced a deputation from the committee of the High- street extension, who pre sented a memorial relative to the proposed new thoroughfare from High-street to Oxford-street through Hinde-street and James-street. The cost of the improvement would be between £12,000 and £15,000, to which they asked the board to contri bute one-half, the vestry and the ratepayers finding the remainder.

Government Securities were dull. 5-20's are slightly lower, but 7-30's are strong and steady. As money is abundant the loan market continues easy at 5 per cent., with exceptions at 4. There are but few first-class commercial bills in the market, and these pass readily at about 6 per cent., the extremes being 51 to 7. Although gold is firm there is not much doing, and it may be quoted as dull. The supply of coin for delivery is becoining scarcer in proportion to the demand. The lead ing rates vary from 3 per cent. interest for carrying to 1-32 d. per diem for borrowing. To-day the opening quo tation was 1501, followed by an advance to 1501-, and a relapse to 1504, closing at 1501. Foreign exchange also is inactive, though steady news is awaited from Europe both by buyers and sellers. The leading drawers ask 109- for bills, at 60 days on England. They:do not sell readily at this rate, and second-hand are quoted at 1091 to I, The matter, after a short discussion, was referred to a committee for consideration and report. THE FIRE BRIGADE. Mr. NEWTOWN brought up the report of the Fire Brigade Committee, recommending that the sum of £2OO a-year be paid to Mr. Creasy during thB plea sure of the board for hia services in examining and reporting on the sites for the permanent fire brigade stations required, &c., and moved that the recom mendation be approved of. Mr. HOWES seconded the motion. - When we know the probable result of the war in Europe, we will be better able to judge of the future. Opinions are divided about the probable demand for our bonds in Germany. If the demand increases, we will be able to liquidate the balance of trade against us ; but there is every reason to expect a firm market for gold and exchange for some time to come. Mining and petroleum stocks are fiat. A few words may not be out of place here regarding the cotton crop of this year, as the price of gold and the rates of foreign exchange are so largely inflamed by this staple. The reports from nearly all the States are rather discou raging. No doubt such reports are not implicitly to be relied on, but a letter from Georgia speaks in a desponding tone of the crop, the weather, the seed planted, and, above all, of the labour. The inundation from the neglect of the levies, both on the Mississippi and other rivers, have been most destructive, and will be widely felt. The people of the States inundated are unable to repair the damages, and the work has been undertaken by the Government, under the War department. Mr. BRUSHFIELD did not think it was a good rea son for advancingMr.Creasy's salary because he had been removed from one office to another. Mr. Creasy could not perform two things at once. After a few observations from Mr. RICIIARDSON, Mr. TITE, M.P., said he did not think it was a fair accusation which had been made against the Fire Brigade Committee that they were not doing their duty to the public. The strength of the Fire Brigade during the last eight months had been increased threefold. It had been said that the board might employ a person for £2OO a-year, but he denied that they could employ a person like Mr. Creasy for £2OO a-year. (Cries of " Yes, yes," and " No, no.") "Mr. Creasy was an architect and the son of an architect, and a man of great ability ; and if they Were to employ an architect they could not do so under £suo a-y ear. lie (Mr. Tite) should certainly support the motion. (From Messrs. Smith, Edwards, and Co.'s Circular.) LIVERPOOL, August 1. The movements in the cotton market during the past month have run parallel with the political changes on the continent, and the general course of prices has been upward, resulting in an advance of ld. per lb. in American cotton, lid. per lb. in East India, and 3d. to 4d. per lb. in Egyptian and Brazil. At the date of our last issue the quotation of middling Upland was 131 d. per lb., of fair Dhollera 9d., and of fair Egyptian cotton, 18i-d. ; the stock was 958,000 bales, and a general feeling of heaviness prevailed. The Continental war had just commenced, and no one anticipated a settle ment before three months at least ; while the restrictive effect of a 10 per cent. rate or discount was telling most unfavourably upon trade. • • The CHAIRMAN said he might state as a simple fact that Mr. Creasy had been engaged from six o'clock in the morning until eleven o'clock at night by the extra duties thrown upon his hands, since he harbeen appointed by the Board as architect of the fire establishment. Mr. Creasy had not neglected his duties as the chairman's secretary. A very long discussion ensued, in which Mr. Doulton, M.P., Mr. Millet, M.P., and others took part, after which upon a division there appeared for the amendment (that the matter be referred to a committee to consider), 10 ; against it, 16. The report of the committee was approved of. TIIE CHOLERA AND THE RIVER LEA. In reference to the condition of the river Lea in connexion with the state of fear the public are in about the cholera, Mr. J. W. BAZALGETTE, the chief engineer, reported that he had considered the sub ject of the river Lea and the Limehouse-cut by diverting the Wick-lane branch of the Eastern Counties Railway Sewer, and the overflow of the Limekilns Dock sewer into the Low Level sewer, and by a temporary pumping station, raising the sewer at Abbey Mills into the northern outfall sewers, which might be accomplished in about three weeks at a cost of about £1,850, and a further cost of £6O per week for pumping, assuming that two 20 horse-power engines were hired for that pur pose. mile Loukti u,,puuu,,a ill cteociviiol. 6 £250 per week, in addition to the expenditure of the district board in deodorising the sewers. The cost would be considerably reduced. The main source of pollution of the Lea and Limehouse-cut were the drains, local sewers, and fractures on the banks, and until the district board should alter them from the open channels into the low-level sewer much benefit m ould not be de rived from the proposed temporary pumping sta tion. On Sunday last the locks at Four Mills on the river Lea, and the adjoining lock in Limehouse-cut, and the lock at its outlet into the river Thames, were all opened, and a further supply of water thus obtained from the Thames, and a vast improvement in this channel was thereby effected. If this operation should be repeated twice in a week, there would not be much reason for com plaint. He (Mr. Bazalgette) was in communica tion with Mr. Beardmore, the engineer of the River Lea Trustees, with a view, if possible, to accomplish the improvement. The news, which was considered almost equivalent to the conclusion of peace, restored a very buoyant tone to tho market, and for several days the sales reached 20,000 bales daily, and American cotton regained the previous high point-14d. for middling Uplands. In East India cotton a heavy business was done ; exporters, relieved from the incubus that had so long pressed upon them, bought boldly, their aggregate purchases • last week amounting to 33,000 bales, of which 23,000 were East India, and it became noticeable also that our own spinners were substituting Surat for American cotton to a consi derable extent. The advance in some descriptions of East India cotton was rapid ; sawginned Dharwar came into great favour, and superior quality rose to 12d. per lb., which at the beginning of the month had been 90., and (hiring the greatest depression in May had been sold as low as 821 per lb. New Oomrawuttee, of good quality, was also in great demand, and advanced rapidly to llid. per lb. for quality that was worth. 91d. shortly before ; good Comptah became scarce, and at 10d. to 1011 showed lid. advance for the month ; the old crop second rate qualities, represented by middling fair Dhollera and Oomrawuttee, advanced roundly for the month from to Od. per lb., and Bengal and Scinde were in eager export demand, and, contrary ‘ to expectation, advanced lid. per lb. from the opening prices of the month, say from 6d. to 74d. for fair Bengals. Long-stapled cottons that is to say, Egyptian and Brazil—were also powerfully affected, though not so much Iron, xtuy uulaa6oLucut vi auuAauti as iio.ll Lawn. great anti increasing scarcity. With hardly any import from Egypt, and a stock of 20,000 bales, spinners of fine numbers got alarmed, and a few days of active demand forced up the prices several pence per lb. Brazil cotton being the only tolerable substitute for Egyptian rapidly followed, and the result is that quotations for the month are raised 3d. to 4d. per lb. for both descriptions, as already mentioned, and fair Egyptians now stand at 23d. per lb. against aid. a month ago, and fair Pernams 171 d. against 1411 It will be observed from this brief summary that American cot ton gained less relatively than any other description, and now, in comparison with other kinds, it may be pronounced relatively cheap. During the last few days our market has varied very little in -tone or price, the business has been healthy and legitimate, and holders have met the demand more freely, thus checking any tendency to a further advance. The prospects of the market do not at present invite a lengthened discussion, no important alteration iu the facts of the case has occurred since our last issue, saving that peace has been re-established on the Continent. This cir cumstance, however, will exert an important influence upon the future of East India cotton, and prevent that de pression and glut of supply which once seemed imminent. At the same time there is room for believing that the major part of the effect has already been produced—a very considerable advance has taken place in Indian cotton, say 2id. to 3d. per lb. on the average, from the lowest point of the market in May, or about 30 per cent. ; and with the very large supplies still afloat it is difficult to see how a larger advance could be supported. The arrivals of Indian cotton in Great Britain for the next three months must be at the rate of 50,000 bales per week, and the largest pos sible demand can scarcely be expected to absorb all this Doubtless the amount of cotton now afloat from the East represents the bulk of what we will get from that quarter for six months to come, for we know by telegraph that scarcely any cotton is now shipping for England, nor is it likely that exports will be resumed freely for several months ; still these considerations cannot be expected to weigh much till later in the year, and only then if the prospects of the American crop are poor. It is evident that we will have an ample supply of 'Milan cotton to last till next January or February, and by that period we will be receiving freely whatever America has to spare from the next crop. More moderate views are also entertained now of the future of American cotton. The opinion was long clung to that great scarcity would be felt this autumn, at least before next crop arrived, but it is seen now that the old stock will last longer than was expected. The demand has turned largely upon Surats, and there is no reason to believe that any excessive scarcity of American cotton will be felt this year. The long staples occupy the strongest position. Very little Brazil and Egyptian cotton can reach us before November, and meanwhile the trades will be greatly pinched for supply ; the present price of Egyp tian cotton is sd. per lb. higher than it was at this time last year, while American cotton is sd. per lb. cheaper, showing a difference in their relative position of 10d. per lb.—an anomaly perhaps never witnessed before. This state of things must last till the new crop arrives, and no doubt one effect will be to strengthen strong stapled American cotton ; but whether it will be sufficient to draw up the whole mass of American cotton materially in price is doubtful. Upon the motion that the report of the engineer be approved, Mr. E. R. CooK, the member for the district, said there was much public feeling in the neighbourhood concerning this matter, and he was sure it would be a source of gratification to the inhabitants to learn that the board were doing everything in their power to allay the state of mind into which the dread ap proach of cholera had brought the people. The CHAIRMAN hoped the matter would be made public. Mr. COOK moved, in conclusion, as a rider to the motion that the engineer's report be approved, " That as the low-level sewer is now complete under the river Lea, and the engineer has reported that it is possible to intercept the sewage which flows from the board sewers into the river, and by means of the temporary station at the Abbey-mills pump into the northern outfall sewer, the engineer be authorised immediately to carry this into effect." This resolution was carried unanimously. The keystone to the future position of the market is un questionably the next American crop ; all the influences already reported are unimportant compared to that. It ap pears probable that by the time it reaches Europe in quan tity the stocks in the ontrepots will be but moderate, and the quantity afloat from other quantities small. Therefore, if the prospects of supply from America turn out to be poor, the markets of Europe will be ripe for an advance; but should the prospects be good, or even moderat e ly good, there will remain sufficient ba llast of old stock in Europe to keep down any tendency to advance. f m ro o n n i th Am ag er e ic ; a t a h r e e crop for some iwn eoTar tehheefavourablee we t e gh a ao r no e d now tfho ery t : we e ee growing v er ov i a g weeks past in the South, and the injury sustained at the start has in some measure been repaired ; still we under stand that the appearance of the plant is poor, the season backward, and the prospects of a good yield not promis ing. Estimates of crop are at present mere guess work, but as far as we can collect; the favourite opinion among reliable authorities i s two million of bales, though this is usua lly a ccompanied by the condition that the p i ck ng season must be fine.

Ws pA p E p • tS V: 41 1 -4 ' 757/:Y Mr. COLLINSON moved an amendment, that it be referred to the committee appointed by the board to consider the question of salaries of the officers. He was surprised that the Fire Brigade Committee, which had only been in formation about a month, should bring up such a proposition, and if Mr. Creasy had shown such extraordinary ability it should have been referred to the proper committee. He should not like it to go to the world that almost the first act of the:committee was to raise an officer's salary from £5OO to £7OO a-year. Mr. HEALEY supported the amend men t. _ _ MAIN DRAINAGE AND THAMES EMBANKMENT. The ENGINEER read a long report upon the Main Drainage and Thames Embankment works, which merely stated that they were progressing tolerably well. It was resolved that by Thursday next some de finite arrangement should be come to with Messrs. Brassey, the contractors, who are about to take Mr. Furness's contract (No. 2) for the embankment works, and if such arrangement was not come to the board would act upon their powers. After some routine business the board adjourned. LORD B A y N iNG.—This respected no bl eman is lying i n a critical condition at his seat in Norfolk.

The Tariff Bill has been postponed till next winter by a vote of 17 to 23, the Senate dividing as follows :-- FOR POSTPONEMENT. Brown Harris Morgan Sumner Davis Henderson Nesmith Trumbull Doolittle Hendricks Norton Willey Foster Johnson Pomeroy Williams Grimes Kirkwood Riddle Wilson Guthrie Lane Saulsbury AGAINST POSTPONEMENT. Anthony Sherman Howard Sprague Chandler Cragin Rowe Stewart Clark Edmund's Poland Van Winkle Connese Fessenden Ramsey Wade Cowan ABSENT. Buckslew Dixon Nye Yates Creswell M'Dougall IV right Messrs. Sumner, Wilson," - Foster, Harris, and Morgan voted for thepostponemen t. Thus the bill has been beaten not so much by the votes of the purely Agricultural States as by those of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. The Weekly Tribune says :--" We can appreciate the considerations which govern the votes of Messrs. Wilson, Sumner, and Foster. They are tired of listening to dema gogue denunciations of IN ew England, as selfishly demanding protection for her own special benefit, when, in fact, New England could better endure Free Trade than could any other section, and her manufacturers have far more reason to apprehend from rivals in the South and West than in Europe. When the representatives of a State teeming in coal iron, lead, &c., like Missouri, yet which has few fur naces in operation, and scarcely a wheel running on her abundant water power, vote against Protection, they may well be tempted to say, let the blind have their head, they will sooner come right thus than otherwise ; but this is the cleverness of smart poli ticians, not the dictate of true statesmanship." On the 16th July the President returned the Freedmen's Bureau Bill unsigned. The President showed in his Message that such legislation was justified by war, but was unsuited to peace. He could see no reason for the establishment of the military jurisdiction conferred by the Act on the officials of the Bureau. By the laws of the United States and of the different States competent courts, Federal and State, have been established, and are now in full practical operation. The courts are open to all, without regard to colour or race, pre sided over by competent and impartial judges, bound by fixed rules of law and evidence, while the trial by jury is guaranteed and secured. He prefers this to the caprice or judgment of an officer of the bureau, who may be ignorant of the principles that underlie the just administration of the law. Con flicts too will arise between the civil and military tribunals which there are no means of settling. He points out the dangers of military power, and shows that it is for the civil tribunals that private wrongs must appeal for redress. In conclusion, he adds, "I again urge upon Congress the danger of class legislation so well calculated to keep the public mind in a state of uncertain expectation, disquiet, and restlessness, and to encourage interested hopes and fears that the national Government will continue to furnish to classez of citizens in the several States means for support and maintenance, regardless of whether they pursue a life of indolence or labour, and regardless also of the constitutional limitations of the national authority in times of peace and tranquillity." Mr. Eliott moved that this message be laid on the table, printed, and called up for action next day, The motion was agreed to. Mr. Niblack moved that 2,000 extra copies be printed. Mr. Leblond moved that 20,000 be printed, and that action upon it be taken immediately. The Speaker announced the question to be " Shall this bill pass, notwithstanding the objections of the Pre sident ?" The vote was taken, and resulted in yeas 104, nays 33, the Speaker directing his name to be called, and voting yea. The Speaker an nounced that two-thirds having voted in the affir mative, notwithstanding the objections of the Pre sident, the bill had again passed. In the Senate other business was set aside, and the President's Veto Message considered. The Chair having put the question, " Shall the bill pass, the Presi dent's objection notwithstanding ?" the yeas were found to be 33, the nays 12, when the Chair an nounced that the bill having received the two-thirds vote in both houses, he proclaimed it a law not withstanding the objection of the President. Thus in about three hours the matter was disposed of, and the President's objection set aside without discus sion. We regret to see such action on the part of Congress. Even if the President be wrong it would be more dignified in this great Parliament to dis cuss all that had been urged by the chief magistrate, though the discussion had been a mere formality. Such a passage of the bill through both Chambers savours of a contemptuous rejection of the opinion of the Executive Power. A negro woman was recently permitted to kneel between two whites at the Altar of Grace Episcopal Church in Memphis, Tennessee, and partake the sacra ment of the Lord's Supper. The occurrence is unprece dented in the history of the Southern States. to On the 4th, at Mobile, many.freedmen refused take passage on a steamer sailing down the bay to witness a regatta, lest they might be carried to Cuba and sold into slavery. COMMERCIAL. Speculation has been partially checked, and the market for railway shares has been quiet. Every indication shows an upward market.
